纲目
1五 新耶路撒冷将是神终极永远之安息日的安息,因为在那里一切蒙救赎的圣徒要在荣耀里完全彰显神,并带着神的权柄作王,直到永远—启二一10~11二二14上5下
1
2贰 安息日的安息,就是基督作我们的安息,由迦南美地所豫表;(申十二9来三7四13;)基督作众圣徒的安息,分为三个阶段:
2
3一 在召会时代,属天的基督,就是那彰显了神、代表了神、也满足了神,歇了祂一切的工,坐在诸天之上神右边的一位,在我们灵里是我们的安息;(太十一28~29;)希伯来四章九节中安息日的安息,乃是基督作我们的安息,由迦南美地所豫表。 (申十二9来四8。)
3
4二 在千年国里,撒但从地上除去之后,(启二十1~3,)神要因基督和得胜的圣徒而得着彰显,得到代表,并得着满足;那时基督连同国度将是得胜的圣徒更完满的安息,他们要与基督一同作王,(4,6,)有分于并享受祂的安息。
4
5三 在新天新地里,所有的仇敌,包括最后的仇敌,死,都被基督征服之后,(林前十五24~27,)基督这位全胜者要成为神所有赎民最完满的安息,直到永远。
5
6四 希伯来四章八至九节所说安息日的安息,指基督在头两个阶段,特别在第二个阶段,作我们的安息—这是那为我们存留,要我们竭力寻求并进入的安息:
6
71 头两个阶段的安息乃是奖赏,要给那些竭力追求主的人,他们丰满的享受了基督并成为得胜者;第三阶段的安息不是奖赏,乃是分给所有赎民完满的分。
7
82 基督在作我们安息的第二阶段,要得着全地为业,作祂的国度一千年—诗二8来二5~6
8
93 在基督作我们安息的第二阶段,衪所有的得胜信徒,就是在第一阶段寻求并享受祂作安息的人,要在千年国有分于祂的作王;(启二十46提后二12;)他们要承受地土,(太五5诗三七11路十九1719,)并有分于他们主的快乐。 (太二五2123。)

10申十二9 因为直到如今,你们还没有进入耶和华你神所赐你的安息,所给你的产业。
10Deut. 12:9 For until now you have not come to the rest and to the inheritance that Jehovah your God is giving you.
11来四8~9 若是约书亚已经使他们得了安息,此后神就不会提起别的日子了。这样,必有一安息日的安息,为神的子民存留。
11Heb. 4:8-9 For if Joshua had brought them into rest, He would not have spoken concerning another day after these things. So then there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God.
12现在我们是在召会生活中,也就是在生长的安息里,这要引领我们进入千年国那收成的安息里。……终极的安息日之安息乃是新耶路撒冷。……那时要有一个新地,这新地上有一座城,乃是由经过变化的人作为活的材料建造而成的。这个活的组成,新耶路撒冷,乃是神在将来永远里完全的彰显。……在新耶路撒冷里有神的宝座和祂国度的权柄。新耶路撒冷将是终极永远的安息,因为神在那里得着完全的彰显和代表。那将是神恩典工作的终极完成,我们都要在那里(希伯来书生命读经,二七○至二七一页)。
12We are now in the church life, the growing Sabbath that is leading us into the harvest Sabbath of the millennial kingdom…The ultimate Sabbath rest will be the New Jerusalem…There will be a new earth, and upon that new earth there will be a city built up with transformed people as the living materials. That living composition, the New Jerusalem, will be God’s complete expression in eternity future…In the New Jerusalem will be God’s throne and authority for His kingdom. The New Jerusalem will be the ultimate and eternal Sabbath because there God will be fully expressed and represented. That will be the ultimate consummation of God’s work of grace, and we all will be there. (Life-study of Hebrews, second edition, p. 221)

13以色列人……从进入〔迦南〕美地的那天起,就不断地争战。但为什么在申命记十二章九节,神称美地为安息?……美地之所以是安息,乃是因为圣殿能在那里建造。美地上有圣殿,神能得着彰显,也得着代表。当神得着彰显并得着代表的时候,神和人也都得到满足,那才是真正的安息。
13From the very day [the Israelites] entered into [the good land of Canaan], they were fighting constantly. Then why did God call that land the rest, as He did in Deuteronomy 12:9?…The land was a rest because the temple could be built there. There, with the temple, God could have His expression and representation. When God is expressed and represented, there is satisfaction for both God and man, and that is the real rest.
14希伯来四章九节里,安息日的安息,就是基督作我们的安息;由迦南美地所预表(申十二9来四8)。基督作众圣徒的安息,分为三个阶段。在召会时代,祂这位属天的基督,彰显了神,代表了神,也满足了神;祂也歇了一切的工,坐在诸天之上神的右边,现今在我们灵里是我们的安息(太十一28~29)。在千年国里,撒但从地上除去之后(启二十1~3),神要因基督和得胜的圣徒而得着彰显,得到代表,并得着满足。那时基督连同国度将是得胜的圣徒更完满的安息,他们要与基督一同作王(4、6),有分于并享受祂的安息。在新天新地里,所有的仇敌,包括最后的仇敌,死,都被基督征服之后(林前十五24~27),神要在所有在基督里、蒙神救赎的人身上得着完满的彰显,充分的代表和完全的满足;那时,基督这位全胜者,在那样荣耀的光景中,要成为神所有赎民完满的安息,直到永远。
14The Sabbath rest in Hebrews 4:9, as typified by the good land of Canaan (Deut. 12:9; Heb. 4:8), is Christ as our rest. Christ is rest to us in three stages. In the church age, He, as the heavenly Christ, the One who has expressed, represented, and satisfied God and who rests from His work and sits on the right hand of God in the heavens, is the rest to us in our spirit (Matt. 11:2829). In the millennial kingdom, after Satan has been removed from the earth (Rev. 20:1-3), God will be expressed, represented, and satisfied by Christ and the overcoming saints. Then Christ with the kingdom will be the rest in a fuller way to the overcoming saints, who will be co-kings with Him (vv. 4, 6) and share and enjoy His rest. In the new heaven and new earth, after all the enemies, including death, the last enemy, are subdued to Him (1 Cor. 15:24-27), God will be fully expressed, represented, and satisfied by all His redeemed ones in Christ. At that time Christ, as the all-conquering One, with that glorious situation, will be the rest in the fullest way to all of God’s redeemed for eternity…
15希伯来四章九节所说安息日的安息,就是迦南美地的安息所预表的,只该包括基督作我们安息的头两个阶段,不该包括第三阶段。头两个阶段的安息乃是奖赏,要给那些竭力追求基督,不仅蒙了救赎,还丰满地享受了基督,以致成为得胜者的人;而第三个阶段的安息不是奖赏,乃是分给所有赎民完满的分。……基督乃是在作我们安息的第二阶段,要得着全地为业(诗二8来二5~6),作祂的国度一千年(启十一15)。所有跟从祂的得胜者,就是在第一阶段寻求并享受祂作安息的人,那时要与祂一同作王(二十46提后二12),且要承受地土(太五5诗三七11),有的得权柄管十座城,有的管五座城(路十九1719),也要同享他们主人的快乐(太二五2123)。那将是国度的安息,由进入迦南美地而得的安息所预表。对所有得赎并蒙拯救出埃及的以色列人,美地的安息是他们的目标。照样,对我们得赎并蒙拯救脱离世界的新约信徒,要来国度的安息乃是我们的目标。现今我们都在朝着这目标的路上(希伯来书生命读经,二三四至二三六页)。
15The Sabbath rest mentioned in Hebrews 4:9 and typified by the rest of the good land of Canaan covers only the first two stages of Christ as rest to us and does not include the third stage. The rest in the first two stages is a prize to His diligent seekers, who are not only redeemed but also have enjoyed Him in a full way, thus becoming the overcomers; whereas the rest in the third stage is not a prize but the full portion allotted to all the redeemed ones…It is in the second stage of His being our rest that Christ will take possession of the whole earth as His inheritance (Psa. 2:8; Heb. 2:5-6), making it His kingdom for a thousand years (Rev. 11:15). All His overcoming followers who seek and enjoy Him as their rest in the first stage will participate in His reign in the millennium (20:4, 6; 2 Tim. 2:12). Moreover, they will inherit the earth (Matt. 5:5; Psa. 37:11), some having authority over ten cities, some over five (Luke 19:17, 19), and will partake of the joy of their Lord (Matt. 25:21, 23). That will be the kingdom rest, which is typified by the rest of entering into the good land of Canaan. The rest of the good land was the goal to all the children of Israel, who had been redeemed and delivered from Egypt; likewise, the rest of the coming kingdom is the goal of the New Testament believers, who have been redeemed and saved from the world. We are now all on the way toward this goal. (Life-study of Hebrews, second edition, pp. 190-191)

今日要点
17主题:进入美地所豫表的基督,作安息日的安息
17
18引经:申十二9来四8~9
18
191.看见美地所豫表安息的图画与意义:
19
20A.摩西在申命记八章说到美地的丰富之后,在申十二9说了一段难人寻味的话,他说直到如今,你们还没有进入耶和华你神所赐给你的安息(和合本译为安息地),所给你的产业,他们所要进入的是美地,但神却称美地为安息,就着以色列人,他们无论在埃及为奴,或在旷野漂流,都没有安息,惟有在应许之地才有安息。
20
21B.就着神,却有更深、更高的意义,因为圣殿能够作为神的家在那里建造,美地上有圣殿,神能得着彰显,也能得着代表,根据安息日的原则,神在地上得着彰显与代表,神才有满足与安息,当神与人都安息,真正的安息才会来到。
21
222.基督作我们的安息分为三个阶段:
22
23A.因此,希伯来书的作者为着鼓励希伯来信徒,就以以色列人进美地为例,在来四8~9说,若是约书亚已经使他们得了安息,此后神就不会提起别的日子了。这样,必有一安息日的安息,为神的子民存留,所以,安息日的安息,就是基督作我们的安息,由迦南美地所豫表,分为三个阶段。
23
24B.第一,在召会时代,祂这位个别、属天的基督,彰显并代表神,满足了神,坐在诸天之上神的右边,现今在我们灵里是我们的安息,第二,在国度时代,神要得着团体的基督,就是基督和祂的得胜者得着彰显与代表,并得着满足,那时基督连同国度,将是得胜者更完满的安息,第三,在新天新地,所有仇敌、死都被基督征服之后,神要所有蒙赎之人身上得着完满的彰显、代表与满足,那时基督这位全胜者,要成为神所有赎民完满的安息。
24
25应用:对信徒而言,这安息日的安息,就是迦南美地的安息所豫表的,只包括头两个阶段,不该包括第三个阶段,因为头两个阶段的安息乃是奖赏,为此我们要竭力追求基督,好经历基督不仅是救赎的羊羔,也不仅是吗哪,而是美地的安息。
