纲目
1叁 宇宙中有两个大原则—神的权柄和撒但的背叛;神和撒但之间所争执的唯一问题,与权柄有关—徒二六18西一13
1Ⅲ There are two great principles in the universe—God's authority and Satan's rebellion; the unique controversy between God and Satan concerns authority—Acts 26:18; Col. 1:13:
2一 背叛乃是否认神的权柄,也是拒绝神的管治:
2A Rebellion is the denial of God's authority and the rejection of God's rule:
31 撒但原是神所造的天使长,但由于他的骄傲,他高举自己,干犯神的主宰、背叛神,就成了神的对头,并建立他自己的国—赛十四12~14结二八2~19太十二26
31 Satan was originally an archangel created by God, but due to his pride he uplifted himself, violated God's sovereignty, rebelled against God, became God's adversary, and established his own kingdom—Isa. 14:12-14; Ezek. 28:2-19; Matt. 12:26.
42 当人犯罪时,就背叛神,否认神的权柄,并拒绝神的管治;在巴别那里,人集体背叛神,要从地上废除神的权柄—创三1~6十一1~9
42 When man sinned, he rebelled against God, denied God's authority, and rejected God's rule; at Babel men rebelled collectively against God to abolish God's authority from the earth—Gen. 3:1-6; 11:1-9.
5二 撒但虽然干犯神的权柄,人也干犯神的权柄,背叛神,神却不让这个背叛继续下去,祂要在地上建立祂的国—启十一15
5B Although Satan rebelled against God's authority and although man violates His authority by rebelling against Him, God will not let this rebellion continue; He will establish His kingdom on the earth—Rev. 11:15.
6三 宇宙中争执的中心,乃是谁该得着权柄—四2~3
6C The center of dispute in the universe relates to who has authority—4:2-3:
71 我们要和撒但争执,肯定权柄是属于神的—徒十七2430
71 We must contend with Satan by asserting that authority is with God— Acts 17:24, 30.
82 我们要存心顺服神的权柄,维持神的权柄—太十一25
82 We need to set ourselves to submit to God's authority and uphold God's authority—Matt. 11:25.
9四 背叛的罪比什么罪都厉害—撒上十五23
9D The sin of rebellion is more serious than any other kind of sin—1 Sam.15:23.

10启四2 我立刻就在灵里;看哪,有一个宝座安置在天上,又有一位坐在宝座上。
10Rev. 4:2 Immediately I was in spirit; and behold, there was a throne set in heaven, and upon the throne there was One sitting.
11太十一25 那时,耶稣回答说,父阿,天地的主,我颂扬你……。
11Matt. 11:25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I extol You, Father, Lord of heaven and of earth…
12天使的堕落和人类的堕落,影响宇宙有多大,给神的难处有多大,你们注意过么?神要受造之物接受祂的权柄,而这两类受造之物却都拒绝了神的权柄。……虽然如此,神却不肯撤退祂的权柄。……所以神一面维持权柄制度,一面建立祂的国。撒但虽然干犯神的权柄,人也天天干犯神的权柄,天天背叛神,神却不让这个背叛继续下去,祂要设立祂自己的国。
12Have you ever realized how much the universe was affected by the fall of the angels and man and how big a problem this made for God? God desired that His creatures would accept His authority; however, both kinds of creatures rejected His authority…Nevertheless, God did not call back His authority…On the one hand, God maintains His system of authority, and on the other hand, He establishes His kingdom. Although Satan rebelled against God’s authority, and although man daily violates His authority by rebelling against Him, God will not let this rebellion continue. He will establish His own kingdom.
13主在地上一切所行的,没有一样是不顺服的。……主完全顺服,完全让神的权柄通行,就在那个范围内设立了神的国,通行了神的权柄。照样今天召会也要因着顺服,而有神权柄的通行,有神国度的彰显(倪柝声文集第三辑第一册,一六二至一六三页)。
13Whatever the Lord did on earth was entirely based on submission … Everything was in submission, in perfect cooperation with the authority of God. In this realm the Lord set up the kingdom of God and executed His authority. The church today must also allow God’s authority to have a free way and manifest His kingdom through submission. (CWWN, vol. 47, “Authority and Submission,” pp. 147-148)

14宇宙中争执的中心,乃是谁该得着权柄;我们要和撒但争执,肯定权柄是属于神的。我们要存心顺服神的权柄,维持神的权柄。
14The center of dispute in the whole universe relates to who has the authority. We have to contend with Satan by asserting that authority is with God. We have to set ourselves to submit to God’s authority and to uphold God’s authority.
15保罗在未认识权柄之先,想要从地上铲除召会,但在大马色路上遇见主以后,看见用脚(人的能力)踢犁棒(神的权柄)是难的,他立刻倒下来,承认耶稣是主,就在大马色城内能顺服亚拿尼亚的指示〔徒九10〕。
15Before Paul realized authority, he wanted to eradicate the church from the earth. But after he met the Lord on the way to Damascus, he realized that it was difficult to kick against the goads (God’s authority) with his feet (man’s energy). He immediately fell down, acknowledged Jesus as Lord, and submitted to the instruction of Ananias in Damascus [Acts 9:10].
16人若未在大马色路上遇见权柄,就不会在大马色城里顺服一个无名的小弟兄。这给我们看见,凡遇见权柄的人就只和权柄发生关系,不和人发生关系。我们应该只想到权柄而不想到人,因为不是顺服那个人,乃是顺服他身上神的权柄。
16Unless a man meets authority on the way to “Damascus,” he cannot submit to an insignificant, small brother in “Damascus.” This shows us that anyone who has met authority will deal with the authority alone; he will not deal with the person involved. We should only think of the authority, not of the person, because our submission is not to a person but to God’s authority in that person.
17我们这些自以为是(实在是瞎眼)的人总要有一次碰着神的权柄。……人必须遇见了神的权柄,然后才能顺服神所设立的代表权柄。
17We who are so self-confident, but who are in reality so blind, have to come face-to-face at least once with God’s authority…Only when a man meets God’s authority will he submit to the deputy authority whom God appoints.
18在民数记十六章里有两个背叛:从一至四十节是首领们的背叛,从四十一至五十节是全会众的背叛。背叛的灵是会传染的。二百五十人被审判,不能使全会众受警戒。他们亲眼看见有火从神那里出来,烧灭了那献香的二百五十人,还是背叛,竟然说是摩西杀了他们。摩西、亚伦不能叫地开口,是神开的;摩西不能叫火烧人,是从耶和华神那里出来了火,施行审判。人的眼睛只看见人,没有认识权柄是出乎神。这样的人胆量很大,看见审判也不知害怕,因为他没有认识权柄的知识,这是很危险的。
18In Numbers 16 there are two rebellions. In verses 1 through 40 we have the rebellion of the leaders, whereas in verses 41 through 50 we have the rebellion of the whole assembly. A spirit of rebellion is contagious. The judgment on the two hundred fifty was not enough to warn the whole assembly. They saw with their own eyes fire coming forth from God to consume the two hundred fifty incense burners. Yet they still rebelled. They even accused Moses of killing them. Moses and Aaron could not open the earth; it was God who opened it. Moses could not consume people with fire; it was the fire that proceeded from Jehovah God that judged the people. Some men only see through their own eyes. They do not see that all authority is of God. Such people are very bold; they are not afraid even when they see judgment, because they do not have the knowledge of authority. This is a very dangerous matter.
19有许多罪是神受得住,且是可原谅的;但一背叛,神就不能容忍,因为背叛是死亡的原则,是撒但的原则。所以背叛的罪比什么罪都厉害。每当有人抵挡权柄,神立刻审判,这是何等严肃的事!(倪柝声文集第三辑第一册,一二○至一二二、一四七至一四八页)。
19God can bear many sins and can even pardon them. Once rebellion appears, however, God cannot tolerate it, for rebellion is according to the principle of death. It is according to the principle of Satan. For this reason, the sin of rebellion is more serious than any other kind of sin. Whenever someone opposes authority, God immediately comes in to judge. How solemn a matter this is! (CWWN, vol. 47, “Authority and Submission,” pp. 111-112, 134-135)

今日要点
21主题:借着顺服神的权柄,使神在地上建立国度
21
22引经:启四2太十一25
22
231.认识神的权柄与撒但与人的背叛:
23
24a.今天在地上,神仍无法执行祂的权柄,乃是因着背叛;宇宙中有两个大原则,就是神的权柄和撒但的背叛,神和撒但之间所争执的惟一问题,乃是与权柄有关,可以说,撒但想要与神同等,就,抵抗了权柄,形成了背叛,背叛乃是否认神的权柄、拒绝神的管治,撒但虽然干犯神的权柄,人也因撒但而堕落,干犯神的权柄,背叛神,但神却不让这个背叛继续下去,祂要在地上建立祂的国。
24
25B.主在地上一切所行的,没有一样是不顺服的,祂不是觉得这件事情对,祂顺服,而另一件事情不合理,祂就不顺服,在马太十一章,地上的许多城都拒绝主和主的职事,但太十一25主却说,『那时,耶稣回答说,父阿,天地的主,我颂扬你,...』,主是完全顺服,完全让神的权柄通行,就在那个范围内设立了神的国,通行了神的权柄,照样,召会也该如此,而有国度的彰显。
25
262.借着顺服神的权柄,使神在地上建立国度:
26
27a.因此,宇宙中一切争执的中心,乃是谁该得着权柄,我们要和撒但争战,肯定权柄是属于神的,我们要存心顺服神的权柄,好维持神的权柄,保罗若是没有在大马色的路上遇到权柄,就不会顺服一位无名小弟兄,接受他的带领,因为保罗不是顺服小弟兄那个人,而是顺服他身上的代表权柄,所以我们总要一次碰着神的权柄,就能够顺服神所设立的代表权柄。
27
28b.此外,我们也需要看见,背叛的罪比什么罪都厉害,这是我们需要儆醒并受警戒的,民数记十六章有两个背叛,首先是首领们的背叛,接着是全会众的背叛,我们需要看见,背叛的灵是会传染的,他们看见有火出来烧灭了那些人,竟然还是背叛,因此,人的眼睛只看见人,却没有内在认识权柄是属乎神的,这样的无知和眼瞎,不认识权柄,对于召会生活非常危险,这是一件严肃的事。
28
29应用:主的完全顺服,就在那个范围设立了神的国,我们需要以主为榜样,在我们的家庭、职场、召会里,面对一切发生的事,无论是合意与否,无论代表权柄行得正确与否,我们都学习顺服的功课,顺服神所设立的代表权柄,这样,我们就让神的权柄通行,而有神国度的实际和彰显,在我们所在的范围中。
