13血肉之人〔12〕是指人说的。在血肉之人背后,乃是魔鬼那抵挡神定旨的邪恶势力。因此,我们的摔跤,我们的争战,必须不是抵挡人,乃是抵挡诸天界里那邪恶的属灵势力。……我们在主的恢复里应当认识,属灵的争战不是与人争战的事。即使人对这恢复造成损害,我们也不该与他们争战。在他们背后,在他们之上,乃是邪恶的势力。……那些执政的、掌权的和管辖这黑暗世界的,乃是背叛的天使。他们跟从撒但一同背叛、抵挡神,现今在诸天界里管辖世上的列国,如但以理十章二十节的波斯魔君和雅完魔君。
13Blood and flesh [v. 12] refers to men. Behind men of blood and flesh are the evil forces of the devil, fighting against God’s purpose. Hence, our wrestling, our fighting, must not be against men but against the evil spiritual forces in the heavenlies. We in the Lord’s recovery should realize that spiritual warfare is not a matter of fighting against men. Even if men cause damage to the recovery, we should not fight against them. Behind them and over them is the evil power. The rulers, the authorities, and the world-rulers of this darkness are the rebellious angels, who followed Satan in his rebellion against God and who now rule in the heavenlies over the nations of the world, such as the prince of Persia and the prince of Greece in Daniel 10:20.
