4来十一9~10 〔亚伯拉罕〕因着信,在应许之地作客,好像在异地,与承受同样应许的以撒、雅各一同居住在帐棚里;因为他等候那座有根基的城,其设计者并建筑者乃是神。
4Heb. 11:9-10 By faith he dwelt as a foreigner in the land of promise as in a foreign land, making his home in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the fellow heirs of the same promise; for he eagerly waited for the city which has the foundations, whose Architect and Builder is God.
5〔希伯来十一章十节的“城”〕就是活神的城,属天的耶路撒冷(十二22),在上的耶路撒冷(加四26),圣城新耶路撒冷(启二一2三12),是神为祂子民所预备的(来十一16);也是神的帐幕,神要在其中与人同住,直到永远(启二一3)。列祖怎样等候这座城,我们也照样寻求她(来十三14)(圣经恢复本,来十一10注1)。
5This is the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem (12:22), the Jerusalem above (Gal. 4:26), the holy city, New Jerusalem (Rev. 21:2; 3:12), which God has prepared for His people (Heb. 11:16), and the tabernacle of God, in which God will dwell with men for eternity (Rev. 21:3). As the patriarchs waited for this city, so we also seek it (Heb. 13:14). (Heb. 11:10, footnote 1)

6住棚节提醒我们,今天人仍然在旷野里,需要进入新耶路撒冷这个永远的帐幕里,得享安息(启二一2~3)。新耶路撒冷虽然是用金、珍珠和宝石极其坚固的建造成的,却称为帐幕。新耶路撒冷是一座帐幕,为着记念得胜者如何在国度时代,新耶路撒冷终极完成之前,仍然住在帐棚里;他们那时还未定居下来。当他们进入新天新地里的新耶路撒冷时,他们就不再住在帐棚里,但他们仍然称他们永远的居所为帐幕,为的是记念他们所曾经历的。……住棚节的实际乃是一个记念而享受的时候,记念我们如何经历神,以及神如何与我们同住。我们住在帐棚里,神也住在帐幕里。至终,我们的住棚节将是在新天新地里对新耶路撒冷的享受。那将是我们对神经历之一切收成的真正总结。
6This Feast [of Tabernacles] is a reminder that today people are still in the wilderness and need to enter into the rest of the New Jerusalem, which is the eternal tabernacle (Rev. 21:2-3). Although the New Jerusalem will be solidly built with gold, pearls, and precious stones, it will be called a tabernacle. The New Jerusalem is the tabernacle for the remembrance of how the overcomers, before the consummation of the New Jerusalem in the kingdom age, were still living in tents; they were not settled yet. When they enter into the New Jerusalem in the new heaven and new earth, they will no longer be living in tents, but they will still call their eternal dwelling place the tabernacle in remembrance of what they experienced…The reality of the Feast of Tabernacles is a time of enjoyment in remembrance of how we experienced God and of how God lived with us. We lived in tents, and He lived in a tabernacle. Eventually, our Feast of Tabernacles will be the enjoyment of the New Jerusalem in the new heaven and new earth. That will be the real consummation of all the harvest of our experience of God.
7住棚节,就是神为祂的子民所设立之一切节期中的最后一个节期(利二三3439~43),乃是为使以色列人在收割的时候,享受美地丰富的出产,作他们的满足。
7The Feast of Tabernacles, which was the last feast of all the feasts ordained by God for His people (Lev. 23:34, 39-43), was for Israel’s enjoyment of the rich produce of the good land at its harvest time for their satisfaction.
8基督是我们的美地,以及其上一切的出产,作我们的享受和满足。……住棚节只是基督的预表,基督才是实际。那个节期并不能满足他们,所以主在节期的末日高声说,凡是干渴不满足的,都当到祂那里去喝,好得着真正的满足。……这指明那些守住棚节的人并不满足;真正的满足乃是接受基督并且饮于祂,使他们不仅得着满足,也满溢出活水的江河来。丰富的这种满溢,乃是彰显出来的丰富,也就是丰满。所有的丰富原都包含在神里面,但如今这些丰富成了我们的享受,到一个地步,这些丰富甚至满溢出来,将我们对神之享受的丰富彰显出来。
8Christ is our good land with all its produce for our enjoyment and satisfaction…The Feast of Tabernacles was just a type of Christ as the reality. That feast did not satisfy them, so on the last day the Lord cried out that whoever is thirsty, unsatisfied, should come to Him to drink for their real satisfaction. This indicates that the people who held the Feast of Tabernacles were not satisfied; the real satisfaction was to receive Christ and drink of Him so that they would be not only satisfied but also overflowing with rivers of living water. This overflow of the riches is the expressed riches, the fullness. Originally, all the riches were contained in God, but now they become our enjoyment to such an extent that they overflow to express the riches of our enjoyment of God.
9新耶路撒冷称为帐幕〔启二一3〕,指明凡有分于新耶路撒冷的人,都是真正守住棚节的人,有完满的享受和满足,直到永远。……住棚节这名称里的“棚”含示记念的思想,也就是说,守住棚节的以色列人,该记念他们的先祖在旷野飘流时住在帐棚(帐幕)里。……同样的,甚至新耶路撒冷也称为神的帐幕(2~3),为着记念在国度时代新耶路撒冷第一阶段里的得胜者;他们也曾住在帐棚里。
9The New Jerusalem is called the tabernacle [Rev. 21:3], indicating that those who participate in the New Jerusalem are the real keepers of the Feast of Tabernacles for eternity with full enjoyment and satisfaction. The word Tabernacles in the title of the Feast of Tabernacles implies the thought of remembrance, that is, the Israelite keepers of the Feast of Tabernacles should remember that their forefathers dwelt in tents (tabernacles) in their wandering in the wilderness. Similarly, even the New Jerusalem is called the tabernacle of God (vv. 2-3) for the remembrance of the overcomers, who dwelt also in tents, in the first stage of the New Jerusalem in the kingdom age.
10新耶路撒冷先要终极完成为在千年国里的初熟果子,作为给得胜者的赏赐,最后要终极完成在新天新地里,作为所有得成全之信徒对神完全救恩的完满享受。这将是真正的住棚节(李常受文集一九九四至一九九七年第四册,四九四至四九七页)。
10The New Jerusalem will be consummated first to be the firstfruits in the millennial kingdom as a reward to the overcomers and then consummated finally to be in the new heaven and new earth as the full enjoyment of God’s full salvation to all the perfected believers. This will be the real Feast of Tabernacles. (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 4, “Crystallization-study of the Gospel of John,” pp. 389-391)

今日要点
12主题:住棚节对于新淤信徒的两面经历
12
13引经:来十一9~10
13
141.住棚节的实际是一个享受的时候
14
15A.住棚节就是神为祂子民所设立之一切节期当中的末一个节期,乃是为使以色列人在收割之后,享受美地丰富的出产,作他们的满足。因此住棚节只是一个豫表,基督才是实际。那个节期并不能满足他们,真正的满足乃是接受基督并且饮于他。外在的过了七天住棚节仍是干渴,需要耶稣。
15
16B.百姓在旷野漂流时,不仅自身住在帐篷,帐幕也在他们中间,因此住棚节的实际乃是一个享受的时候,记念我们如何经历神;以及神如何与我们同住。因此,今天我们享受基督作住棚节,团体的来在一起相调,享受基督的丰富作美地的出产,这提醒我们,我们仍在旷野里,需要进入新耶路撒冷这永远帐幕的安息里。
16
172.住棚节提醒新约信徒仍在旷野里
17
18A.住棚节也提醒我们这些新约的信徒,我们仍在旷野里,需要进入新耶路撒冷这个永远的帐篷里,得享完全、完满的安息。所有人最终在新天新地都会经历这安息,但新耶路撒冷被称为神的帐幕,是为使第一阶段的得胜者,记念他们在地上生活时,曾如何住在帐篷里,是客旅、是寄居的,盼望那永远的帐幕,神所建造的城,神与人相互的居所。
18
19B.希伯来11章9~10节说,亚伯拉罕因着信在应许之地作客,好像在异地住在帐篷里,因为他等候那座有根基的城。亚伯拉罕是我们的榜样。列祖怎样等候这座城,我们这些新约的得胜者,也该照样寻求他这活神的城,属天的耶路撒冷,在上的耶路撒冷,圣城耶路撒冷作我们对神经历之一切收成的真正总结和终极完成。
19
20经历:我们虽然在地上定居,但我们的心不该在地上的事物里,而该寄望、仰望那座有根基的城。我们该以亚伯拉罕为榜样,学习在地上作客旅作寄居的,好使我们的心有空房,让主进来作我们真正的享受和满足。
