25 这团体的新妇,就是新耶路撒冷,要完成神定旨的两方面;(创一26;)首先,新耶路撒冷有神完全的形像,作神完全的彰显,使神得着荣耀;(启二一11,参四3;)其次,这新耶路撒冷制伏仇敌,征服地,并对全宇宙施行神的权柄连同祂的管治权。(创一26启二二5,参二十1014~15。)

4启十九7~8 我们要喜乐欢腾,将荣耀归与祂;因为羔羊婚娶的时候到了,新妇也自己预备好了。又赐她得穿明亮洁净的细麻衣,这细麻衣就是圣徒所行的义。
4Rev. 19:7-8 Let us rejoice and exult, and let us give the glory to Him, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready. And it was given to her that she should be clothed in fine linen, bright and clean; for the fine linen is the righteousnesses of the saints.
5在启示录十九章七至八节我们看见基督和祂的配偶,新妇,要在祂回来时成婚。……羔羊的婚娶乃是神新约经纶完成的结果。神在新约里的经纶是要借着祂的救赎和神圣的生命,为基督娶得一个新妇,就是召会。借着圣灵历世历代以来不断地作工,到这世代结束时,这目标就要达到。那时,新妇就要预备好了。
5In Revelation 19:7 and 8 we see that Christ and His counterpart, His bride, will be married at His coming back…The marriage of the Lamb is the issue of the completion of God’s New Testament economy. God’s economy in the New Testament is to obtain for Christ a bride, the church, through His redemption and divine life. By the continual working of the Holy Spirit through all the centuries, this goal will be attained at the end of this age. Then the bride will be ready.
6启示录十九章七节的“新妇”,直译,祂的妻子;指召会(弗五24~2531~32),基督的新妇。然而,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,乃是由所有得救的圣徒所组成,从千年国以后直到永远(新约总论第七册,二六七页)。
6The words “His wife” in Revelation 19:7 refer to the church (Eph. 5:2425, 31-32), the bride of Christ. However, according to Revelation 19:8 and 9, the wife, the bride of Christ, here consists only of the overcoming believers during the millennium, whereas the bride, the wife, in Revelation 21:2 is composed of all the saved saints after the millennium for eternity. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, pp. 2277-2278)

7约翰福音启示基督是羔羊,要来除去罪(一29),也是新郎,要来迎娶新妇〔参三29〕。基督的目标不是除去罪,乃是迎娶新妇。在启示录这卷书中,我们看见基督乃是羔羊,也是要来的新郎。祂这位新郎必须有一个婚礼。
7The Gospel of John reveals that Christ is the Lamb who came to take away sin (1:29) and also the Bridegroom who came that He might have the bride [cf. 3:29]. Christ’s goal is not to remove sin; His goal is to have the bride…As the Bridegroom, He must have a wedding.
8我们在地上正预备成为新妇,好迎见祂;而祂在三层天的宝座上正准备像新郎一样来到,与我们相见。所以,祂要以新郎的身分来,我们要以新妇的身分去。当祂回来,我们与祂相见时,我们就会有一个婚礼。
8We are on earth preparing to become the bride to meet Him, and He is on the throne in the third heaven prepared to come as the Bridegroom to meet us. Therefore, He is coming as the Bridegroom, and we are going as the bride. When we meet Him at His coming back, we shall have a wedding.
9新妇的预备〔启十九7下〕是在于得胜者生命的成熟。再者,得胜者不是分开的个人,乃是团体的新妇。为着这一面,就需要建造。得胜者不仅在生命上成熟,更是同被建造,成为一个新妇。
9The readiness of the bride [Rev. 19:7b] depends on the maturity in life of the overcomers. Furthermore, the overcomers are not separate individuals but a corporate bride. For this, building is needed. The overcomers are not only mature in life but are also built together as one bride.
10召会作基督的配偶要终极完成于新天新地的新耶路撒冷,直到永远。……新耶路撒冷是历代以来所有蒙神救赎的圣徒活的组合。她是基督的新妇,作祂的配偶〔二一2〕。作基督新妇的新耶路撒冷,是出自基督,而成为祂的配偶。她是借着有分于基督生命和性情的丰富而预备好的。……在千年国里的新妇,只包括得胜的圣徒,但是在新天新地里的妻子,乃包括一切神所救赎并重生的众子(7)(新约总论第七册,二六八至二七○页)。
10The consummation of the church as the counterpart of Christ will be the New Jerusalem in the new heaven and the new earth for eternity…The New Jerusalem is a living composition of all the saints redeemed by God throughout all generations. It is the bride of Christ as His counterpart [cf. Rev. 21:2]. As the bride of Christ, the New Jerusalem comes out of Christ and becomes His counterpart. She is prepared by participating in the riches of the life and nature of Christ…The bride in the millennium will include only the overcoming saints, but the wife in the new heaven and new earth will include all the redeemed and regenerated sons of God (v. 7). (The Conclusion of the New Testament, pp. 2278-2280)
11见于创世记二章的生命,乃是涌流的生命,变化的生命,和建造的生命。这生命在我们里面涌流,变化我们,至终将我们建造成基督的新妇。这新妇,就是新耶路撒冷,要完成神定旨的两方面。首先,新耶路撒冷有神完全的形像,作神完全的彰显(启二一11,参四3)。其次,这新耶路撒冷制伏仇敌,征服地,并对全宇宙施行神的权柄,尤其是对爬物(二二5二一15,参二一8二十1014~15)。……因此,神的定旨借着新耶路撒冷得以完全完成,这就是生命终极完成的结果、结局。我们信徒所需要的是生命,这生命一点不差就是三一神自己,父在子里,子又成为那灵。愿我们都被带进对这涌流、变化和建造之生命的享受和经历中,预备好作把基督带回来的新妇(李常受文集一九六九年第二册,五三三页)。
11The life seen in Genesis 2 is the flowing life, the transforming life, and the building life. This life flows within us, transforms us, and eventually builds us up as the bride of Christ. This bride, the New Jerusalem, will fulfill the two aspects of the purpose of God. First, the New Jerusalem will be the full expression of God in God’s full image (Rev. 21:11; cf. 4:3). Second, this New Jerusalem will subdue the enemy, conquer the earth, and exercise God’s authority over the entire universe, especially over the creeping things (22:5; 21:15; cf. v. 8; 20:10, 14-15)…Thus, God’s purpose is fully fulfilled by the New Jerusalem, which is the result, the issue, the ultimate consummation of life. What we believers need is life, and this life is nothing less than the Triune God Himself, the Father in the Son and the Son as the Spirit. May we all be brought into the enjoyment and experience of this flowing, transforming, and building life to be prepared as the bride that will bring Christ back. (CWWL, 1969, vol. 2, “The Crucial Revelation of Life in the Scriptures,” p. 402)

今日要点
13主题:新妇的建造,成就神造人的定旨
13
14引经:启十九7~8
14
151.基督作新郎来迎娶新妇,以完成神的定旨:
15
16A.许多基督徒认为,神差遣祂儿子耶稣基督来到世上的目的,乃是为着救赎我们,这不能说错,但并不完全,神的目 标乃是要为基督得着新妇,这可见于约翰福音,在一章启示基督是神的羔羊,除去世人之罪的,但在三章,祂被启示为新郎,要来迎娶新妇,使祂得着满足。
16
17B.启十九7~8说,『我们要喜乐欢腾,将荣耀归与祂;因为羔羊婚娶的时候到了,新妇也自己预备好了。又赐她得穿明亮洁净的细麻衣,这细麻衣就是圣徒所行的义』,这里我们看见基督和祂的配偶,新妇,要在祂回来的时候成婚,羔羊的婚娶将是神新约经纶完成的结果,借着圣灵历世纪不断地作工,到这世代结束时,这目标必然达到,那时新妇,就是得胜的信徒,要预备好,神的国也要来到。
17
182.新妇的建造,成就神造人的定旨 :
18
19A.在启示录十九章的新妇,直译,祂的妻子,指召会,基督的新妇,这里的新妇只包括千年国中得胜的信徒,因此,新妇的预备,在于得胜者生命的成熟,并且团体的被建造,因此,夏娃是由亚当肋骨所建造,说出今天要建造召会作基督的新妇,需要创二章的生命,就是涌流的生命,变化的生命,和建造的生命。
19
20b.借着这生命,这团体的新妇-新耶路撒冷,要完成创世记一章神造人定旨的两方面,首先,新耶路撒冷有神完全的形像,作神完全的彰显,使神得着荣耀,其次,这新耶路撒冷制伏仇敌,征服地,并对全宇宙施行神的权柄连同祂的管治权,今天信徒所需要的是生命,就是三一神自己,好能建造召会,预备新妇,迎接主的迎娶。
20
21应用:我们要在那天作为新妇预备好与主相会,就需要在今世习惯与主相会,借着每天清晨起床遇见主,使我们在生活中满有主的彰显,并且活在主权柄的管治之下。
