纲目
11 我们若要照亚伯拉罕信的脚踪而行,就必须过祭坛和帐棚的生活,以基督作我们的生命,召会作我们的生活——罗四12来十一9创十二7~8十三3~418
1
2a 筑坛的意思是我们的生活是为着神,神是我们的生命,并且我们生活的意义就是神——出四十629诗四三4上利一39
2
3b 亚伯拉罕住帐棚,见证他不属于世界,乃是在地上过寄居者的生活;支搭帐棚就是表示、宣告说,我们不属于这世界,乃属于另一个家乡——来十一9~1015~16
3
42 我们是亚伯拉罕的真后裔(加三7),该是在地上作客的,像他一样移居并支搭帐棚(来十一913彼前二11)。
4
53 亚伯拉罕筑了第一座坛(创十二7)之后,又在伯特利和艾的中间筑了第二座坛;伯特利和艾互成对比(8):
5
6a “伯特利”,意,“神的家”;“艾”,意,“乱堆”。
6
7b 在蒙神呼召的人眼中,只有伯特利,就是召会生活,是有价值的;其他的一切不过是乱堆。
7
84 亚伯拉罕失败过,他曾离开了祭坛,离开了帐棚;可是,后来他恢复了;回到祭坛和帐棚,并呼求主的名,这就叫作恢复——9~10节,十三3~4罗十12~13十二1~2
8
95 至终,在希伯仑,亚伯拉罕的帐棚成了他与神交通的地方,以及神能与他交通的地方——创十三18
9
106 亚伯拉罕的帐棚连同他所筑的坛,乃是以色列人所建造之见证的帐幕与祭坛的预表——出三八21
10
117 亚伯拉罕是客旅,是寄居的,“等候那座有根基的城,其设计者并建筑者乃是神”——来十一9~1012~16
11
128 亚伯拉罕的帐棚乃是新耶路撒冷的小影,新耶路撒冷是终极的帐棚,是神终极的帐幕——创九26~27十二8十三3十八1启二一2~3
12
139 当我们活在召会生活的“帐棚”里,我们乃是在等候这帐棚的终极完成,就是终极的“会幕”——新耶路撒冷——提前三15利一1来十一10
13
14七 住棚节是对新耶路撒冷的享受;新耶路撒冷首先要终极完成为千年国里的初熟果子,作为给得胜者的赏赐,最后要终极完成于新天新地里,作为所有得成全之信徒对神完全救恩的完满享受。

15创十二7~8 耶和华向亚伯兰显现,说,我要把这地赐给你的后裔。亚伯兰就在那里为向他显现的耶和华筑了一座坛。从那里他又迁到伯特利东边的山,支搭帐棚;……他在那里又为耶和华筑了一座坛,并且呼求耶和华的名。
15Gen. 12:7-8 And Jehovah appeared to Abram and said, To your seed I will give this land. And there he built an altar to Jehovah who had appeared to him. And he proceeded from there to the mountain on the east of Bethel and pitched his tent…; and there he built an altar to Jehovah and called upon the name of Jehovah.
16坛的意义就是我们不为自己保留什么。坛的意义就是我们晓得我们在地上是为着神。坛的意义就是我们的生活是为着神,神是我们的生命,并且我们生活的意义就是神,所以我们把一切都放在坛上。我们在这里不是传扬自己的名;我们为祂名的缘故,把一切都放在坛上。
16An altar means that we do not keep anything for ourselves. An altar means that we realize that we are here on earth for God. An altar means that our life is for God, that God is our life, and that the meaning of our life is God. So we put everything on the altar. We are not here making a name for ourselves; we are putting everything on the altar for the sake of His name.
17亚伯拉罕在摩利为耶和华筑坛之后,他就走遍那地。……亚伯拉罕……来到伯特利和艾中间的地方,……筑了另一座坛(创十二8十三3~4)。伯特利的意思是神的家,艾的意思是乱堆。伯特利和艾互成对比。这对比……就是说,在蒙召者的眼中,只有神的家是有价值的,其他的一切不过是乱堆。今天对我们原则也是一样。一面我们有伯特利,神的家,召会生活;与此相对的是乱堆。凡与召会生活相反的,都是乱堆。……对亚伯拉罕而言,首要的事是把一切献给神,敬拜事奉神,并与神有交通。然后亚伯拉罕才为他的生活支搭帐棚。亚伯拉罕住帐棚,指明他不属于世界,反而对人是一个见证(来十一9)(创世记生命读经,六七四至六七五、六七七、六七九页)。
17After Abraham built an altar to the Lord at Moreh, he traveled through the land…[and] came to a place that was between Bethel and Ai…Here…Abraham built another altar (Gen. 12:8; 13:3-4). Bethel means “house of God,” and Ai means “a heap of ruins.” Bethel and Ai stand in contrast one to another… This contrast…means that in the eyes of the called ones only God’s house is worthwhile. Everything else is just a heap of ruins. The principle is the same with us today. On the one hand, we have Bethel, God’s house, the church life. Opposite to this is a heap of ruins. Everything that is contrary to the church life is a heap of ruins…With Abraham, the primary matter was to consecrate everything to God, to worship and serve God, and to have fellowship with God. Only then did Abraham pitch a tent for his living. Abraham’s dwelling in a tent indicated that he did not belong to the world but was a testimony to the people (Heb. 11:9). (Life-study of Genesis, pp. 556, 558-560)

18后来亚伯拉罕把帐棚迁到希伯仑,希伯仑的意思是交通(创十三18)。……因着亚伯拉罕支搭帐棚,神在地上就有一个能与人来往交通的地方。他的帐棚把神从天上带到地上。
18Later, Abraham removed his tent to Hebron, which means fellowship (Gen. 13:18)…By Abraham’s pitching a tent God had a place on earth where He could communicate and fellowship with man. His tent brought God from heaven to earth.
19不要以为支搭帐棚是件小事。后来亚伯拉罕的后裔蒙召出埃及,进入旷野,神就吩咐他们造帐棚,并且吩咐他们在帐棚前筑坛(出二六1二七1)。在出埃及记那里,我们看见祭坛和帐棚,就是帐幕。那个帐幕是神在地上的家。……亚伯拉罕的帐棚是他的后裔在旷野所造,作神和祭司居所之帐幕的预像。在创世记这里我们看见,一个和神同住在帐棚里,名叫亚伯拉罕的祭司,在帐棚旁边有一座祭坛。
19Do not think that this matter of a tent is a small thing. Later, when Abraham’s descendants were called out of Egypt and entered into the wilderness, God commanded them to build a tent, and in front of the tent He commanded them to build an altar (Exo. 26:1; 27:1). There, in Exodus, we see an altar with a tent, a tabernacle. That tabernacle was God’s house on earth…Abraham’s tent was a prefigure of the tabernacle built by Abraham’s descendants in the wilderness as the dwelling place for God and for the priests. Here in Genesis we see a priest named Abraham who lived with God in his tent. At the side of this tent there was an altar.
20无论何时我们答应神的呼召,而神再次向我们显现,我们也为神筑一座坛,告诉神我们所是和所有的一切都是为着祂,我们就会立刻支搭帐棚。人们自然会看见,这是我们不属这世界的表现和宣告。借着支搭帐棚,我们宣告我们属于另一个家乡。……我们不喜欢这一个家乡,就是这地,这世界。我们指望进入另一个家乡。我们因着信,像在异地作客(来十一9)。
20Whenever we answer God’s calling and God reappears to us and we build an altar for God, telling Him that everything we are and have is for Him, we shall immediately erect a tent. Spontaneously, people will see that this is an expression, a declaration, that we do not belong to this world. By pitching a tent we declare that we belong to another country…We do not like this country, this earth, this world. We expect to come into another country. We are sojourning by faith as in a strange country (Heb. 11:9).
21希伯来十一章十节说,亚伯拉罕“等候那座有根基的城,其设计者并建筑者乃是神”。这座有根基的城无疑就是新耶路撒冷,有神所设立建造的坚固根基(启二一1419~20)。当亚伯拉罕住在没有根基的帐棚里,他是在仰望并等候一座有根基的城。但我不信亚伯拉罕知道,他是在等候新耶路撒冷。甚至许多基督徒也不知道,他们所等候的乃是新耶路撒冷。但我们必须清楚,我们今天是住在召会生活的帐棚里,等候召会终极的完成,就是新耶路撒冷,神那座有根基的城。……亚伯拉罕的帐棚是新耶路撒冷的小影,新耶路撒冷是神在宇宙中终极的帐幕(2~3)(创世记生命读经,六八○至六八二页)。
21Hebrews 11:10 says that Abraham “waited for the city which has the foundations, whose Architect and Builder is God.” This city which has foundations is undoubtedly the New Jerusalem, which has solid foundations laid and built by God (Rev. 21:14, 19-20). While Abraham was living in a tent without any foundations, he was looking and waiting for a city with foundations. But I do not believe that Abraham knew that he was waiting for the New Jerusalem. Even many Christians do not know that what they are waiting for is the New Jerusalem. But we have to be clear that we are living in the tent of the church life today, waiting for its ultimate consummation, which will be the New Jerusalem—the city of God with foundations. Abraham’s tent was a miniature of the New Jerusalem, which will be the ultimate tabernacle of God in the universe (vv. 2-3). (Life-study of Genesis, pp. 560-562)

今日要点
23主题:住棚节的内在意义—过祭坛与帐棚的生活
23
24引经:创十二7~8
24
251.跟随亚伯拉罕的脚踪,过祭坛和帐棚的生活:
25
26A.亚伯拉罕在异地作客,住在帐棚里的脚踪,在创十二7~8有详尽的记载:『耶和华向亚伯兰显现,说,我要把这地赐给你的后裔。亚伯兰就在那里为向他显现的耶和华筑了一座坛。从那里他又迁到伯特利东边的山,支搭帐棚;...他在那里又为耶和华筑了一座坛,并且呼求耶和华的名』,这说出我们若要照亚伯拉罕的脚踪行,就必须过祭坛和帐棚的生活。
26
27B.祭坛的意思是我们在地上的生活是为着神,神是我们的生命,并且我们生活的意义不是自己,乃是神自己,过祭坛的生活,就是我们将一切都放在坛上,不为自己保留什么,有了祭坛的经历,才有帐棚的生活,亚伯拉罕住帐棚,见证他在地上过寄居的生活,不属于世界,属于另一个更美的家乡。
27
282.帐棚的生活,引进与神的交通:
28
29A.亚伯拉罕筑了第一座坛之后,又在伯特利和艾的中间筑了第二座坛,伯特利的意思是神的家,艾的意思是乱堆,二者互为对比,这对比的意思是说,在蒙神呼召的人眼中,只有神的家是有价值的,其他一切都是乱堆,今天也是如此,我们要在二者之间筑坛,好使我们有伯特利,并将其他一切与神的家相对的,视为艾。
29
30B.后来亚伯拉罕把帐棚迁到希伯仑,希伯仑的意思是交通,也就是说,荣耀之神的显现,带进祭坛与帐棚的生活,这生活的结果带来交通,神在地上就有一个能与人来往交通的地方,经过祭坛所支搭的帐棚,把神从天上带到地上,这个交通的帐棚,也就是他的后裔在旷野所建造,作神居所之帐幕的预像。
30
31应用:我们该祷告,荣耀的神啊,向我显现!使我们答应呼召,更新奉献自己,将我们的财物、时间、心和一切一切,都经过祭坛,神为我们留下的,必定是能进到帐棚的,好使我们过不属于世界之寄居的生活,好在千年国得着新耶路撒冷作为得胜者的赏赐。
