纲目
1叁 新妇乃是主恢复的目标——十九7~9:
1
2一 “羔羊婚娶的时候到了”——7节中:
2
31 约翰在他福音书的开头提到羔羊和新郎,然后在启示录里他说,羔羊婚娶的时候到了——约一29三29
3
42 在大体圣徒被提,(启十四16帖前四15~16,)和基督审判台为着赏赐的审判(启十一18林后五10)之后,紧接着的该包括羔羊的婚娶(启十九7中):
4
5a 我们若是在基督的审判台前得奖赏,就要有分于婚筵。
5
6b 我们若是没有得奖赏,不蒙主称许,我们虽不会灭亡,却要受亏损,就像林前三章十五节所描述的。
6
7二 “新妇也自己预备好了”——启十九7下
7
81 “新妇”(直译,“祂的妻子”)指召会,(弗五24~2531~32,)就是基督的新妇。(约三29。)
8
92 按照启示录十九章八至九节,这里的妻子(基督的新妇)只包含千年国中得胜的信徒;而二十一章二节的新妇(妻子),乃是由所有得救的圣徒所组成,从千年国以后直到永远。
9
103 新妇预备好,是在于得胜者生命的成熟——十九7来六1腓三12~15弗四13
10
114 我们必须用父神作精金,子神作珍珠,灵神作宝石,妆饰并完成新耶路撒冷,作为基督的新妇——启二一219上林前三12歌一10~11
11
125 得胜者不是分开的个人,乃是团体的新妇。
12
136 得胜者不仅在生命上成熟,更是同被建造,成为一个新妇。

14启十九7 ……羔羊婚娶的时候到了,新妇也自己预备好了。
14Rev. 19:7 …The marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.
15来六1 所以,我们既离开了那论到基督之开端的话,就当竭力前进,达到完全、成熟……。
15Heb. 6:1 Therefore leaving the word of the beginning of Christ, let us be brought on to maturity…
16我们要注意“新妇也自己预备好了”这话。马太二十五章一至十三节说到十个童女的比喻。在这个比喻里,精明的童女有油在她们的器皿里,就是有神的灵充满并浸透她们的魂;她们是那些“预备好了”的人,因此同新郎进去赴婚筵,就是在基督回来时进入羔羊婚筵的享受里(10)。这指明神历代的工作,乃是要把祂自己建造到人里面。……当祂把自己建造到我们身上时,也就把祂那神的性质和天的元素,组织到我们里面。我们越让祂作工到我们里面,就越有神的成分,也越有天的成分在我们里面。……当我们顺从圣灵,让神在我们里面作工时,在我们里面就有神的同在,也有天的味道。当神将祂自己建造到我们里面时,我们就能长大。神的建造和我们的长大,就是预备新妇。……新妇预备好了,意即召会已建造完成、长大成熟了(新约总论第十四册,二四八页)。
16We need to pay attention to the phrase His wife has made herself ready. Matthew 25:1-13 speaks of the parable of the ten virgins. In this parable the prudent virgins who took oil in their vessels—who had the Spirit of God filling and saturating their souls—were those who “were ready” and thus went in with the bridegroom “to the wedding feast,” into the enjoyment of the marriage dinner of the Lamb at His coming back (v. 10). This indicates that God’s work throughout the generations is to build Himself into man… When He builds Himself into us, He constitutes the nature of God and the element of heaven into us. The more we allow Him to work Himself into us, the more we will have the element of God and the element of heaven in us… When we submit to the Holy Spirit, allowing God to work Himself into us, we have the presence of God and the taste of heaven within us. We can grow as God builds Himself into us. God’s building and our growth are for the preparation of the bride…The bride having made herself ready means that the church has been completely built up and has grown to maturity. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, p. 4323)

17〔马太二十五章十节的“预备好了”(参二四44),〕就是新妇自己预备好了,也是神在人身上建造的工作完成,也就是我们在主的生命里长大成熟。……这三件事其实是一件事。
17To be ready in Matthew 25:10 [cf. 24:44] means that the bride has made herself ready, that God has completed His building work in man, and that we have grown and matured in the Lord’s life…These three matters are actually one matter.
18今天的召会是将来荣耀的新耶路撒冷的小影,她会一直长,直到有一天完全长成。我们长大乃是借着神在我们身上,不断地作建造的工作。神越将祂自己建造到我们里面,我们就越长大;……我们的长大实际上乃是神的建造(弗四12~13)。
18The church today is a miniature of the glorious New Jerusalem in the future, and it will continually grow until the day that it is fully grown. We grow through God’s continuous building work in us. The more God builds Himself into us, the more we grow…Our growing is actually God’s building (Eph. 4:12-13).
19无疑的,启示录十九章必会完全应验。……然而,新妇是无法急促预备好的。这个预备是一个渐进的工作,需要有一段的时间。……这个预备与团体建造的工作有关。那些构成新妇的人,不仅生命要成熟;他们也必须建造在一起,成为一个新妇。主在祂恢复里主要的工作就是预备祂的新妇。主在祂的恢复里,正在呼召那些爱祂并对祂忠信的余民。祂正发出呼召要胜过基督教的堕落,使许多寻求祂的人,可以预备作祂的新妇。
19There is no doubt that Revelation 19 will be completely fulfilled…The bride, however, cannot be prepared quickly. This preparation is a gradual work that takes place over a period of time…This preparation involves the work of a corporate building. Those who make up the bride must not only be mature in life; they must also be built together as the one bride. The primary work of the Lord in His recovery is to prepare His bride. In His recovery He is calling out a remnant of those who love Him and who are faithful to Him. He is sending out the call to overcome the degradation of Christianity so that a number of those who seek Him may be prepared as His bride.
20基督要为着祂的婚娶,把祂的新妇—妻子—完全预备好,作祂的喜乐和满足。新妇预备好,乃是借着基督法理的救赎、生机的救恩和生机救恩的加强工作。启示录十九章说,新妇预备好,乃是借着妆饰整齐。基督如今正在妆饰我们,使我们成为祂的新妇。基督的喜乐和满足,就是祂那完全预备好、妆饰整齐的新妇。七节里那要来之羔羊的婚筵,是指在千年国时,基督娶新耶路撒冷作祂的新妇。
20The bride, the wife, of Christ will be prepared in full by Him for His wedding as His pleasure and satisfaction. The preparation of the bride is by Christ’s redemption, organic salvation, and the intensified work of His organic salvation. Revelation 19 says that the bride is prepared fully by being properly adorned. Christ is now adorning us to make us His bride. Christ’s pleasure and satisfaction are His bride, prepared, adorned, in full. The coming of the marriage dinner of the Lamb in Revelation 19:7 refers to Christ’s marrying the New Jerusalem as His bride in the millennium.
21起初,神仅仅是神,祂是独居的。但是神独居并不好(创二18),祂渴望得着一个配偶。耶稣来不仅是作救赎主,也是作新郎;既是新郎,祂就需要一个新妇(约三29)。保罗说,他曾把哥林多信徒当作一个贞洁的童女,许配给基督(林后十一2)。以弗所五章启示,召会是基督的妻子,而基督是丈夫。然后启示录告诉我们,新妇自己预备好了,羔羊婚娶的时候到了(十九7)。这将是一个宇宙的婚姻,得胜者将与我们的神,基督结为婚配。从那时起,神就不再独居了。我们的神将是一位已婚的神。祂将娶圣城新耶路撒冷作祂的新妇(新约总论第十四册,二四八至二五○页)。
21God in the beginning was merely God. He was alone. But it is not good for God to be alone (Gen. 2:18). He desires a counterpart. Jesus came not merely to be the Redeemer but to be the Bridegroom, and as such He needs a bride (John 3:29). Paul says that he had betrothed the Corinthian believers as a pure virgin to Christ (2 Cor. 11:2). Ephesians 5 reveals that the church is the wife of Christ, and Christ is the Husband. Then in the book of Revelation we are told that the wife has made herself ready and that the marriage of the Lamb has come (19:7). This will be a universal marriage in which the overcomers will marry Christ, our God. From that time God will never be alone. Our God will be a married God. He will marry the holy city, the New Jerusalem, as His bride. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, pp. 4323-4325)

今日要点
23主题:新妇自己也预备好了
23
24引经:启十九7来六1
24
251.新妇自己也预备好了:
25
26A.启十九7下说,『...新妇也自己预备好了』,新妇预备这样的思想,并非只有约翰提到,马太也在他的福音书说到十个童女的比喻,在这个比喻里,精明的童女不仅有油在他们的灯里,也预备了油在他们的器皿里,就是有神的灵在他们灵里,更是充满并浸透他们的魂,这些「精明的」童女,就是「预备好了」的人,因此同新郎赴婚筵,就是在基督回来时进入羔羊婚筵的享受里。
26
27B.在启十九章的新妇妻子,只包含千年国中得胜的信徒,而启二一章的新妇妻子,则是由所有得救的圣徒组成,从千年国以后直到永远,今天的召会是将来荣耀的新耶路撒冷的小影,她会一直长,直到有一天完全长成,新妇预备好,乃是借着基督法理的救赎、生机的救恩、和生机救恩的加强工作。
27
282.经历神生命的长大与建造,以预备新妇:
28
29A.新妇的预备,事实上就是把神建造到人里面,当祂把自己建造到我们身上时,也就把祂那神的性情和属天的元素,组织到我们里面,更多的神建造到我们里面,我们就更多的长大,所以神的建造和我们的长大,就是预备新妇,新妇预备好了,意即召会已建造完成、长大成熟了。
29
30B.新妇的预备,不是一簇可及,而是一个渐进的过程,需要一段时间,这个预备与团体建造的工作有关,这些构成新妇的人,不仅生命要成熟,他们也必须建造在一起,成为一个团体的新妇,这是主恢复的工作,主正在呼召那些爱祂并对祂忠信的余民,胜过基督教的堕落,预备作主新妇,使神得着安息与满足。
30
31应用:我们每天都需要跟主说,主啊,我愿意成为敞开的器皿,让你更多把你自己建造到我里面,心思、情感和意志,每一个房间都让你来占有,使我能想你所想、爱你所爱、要你所要,而能够预备自己成为主的新妇。
