13建造方舟是绝对与挪亚的世代相反的。挪亚反对那个时代的趋势,并“定了那世界的罪”(7)。……挪亚和他一家的工作是独特的、奇特的、奇怪的,在人眼中是不实际的。那是照着神的启示,因此是与那世代的趋势和潮流相反。你想今天的原则不也是一样么?我们所传的和我们所作的,完全是反这世代潮流的。但是赞美主,我们是在祂的流中。我们不是在这世代的潮流中;我们是照着主的启示,在流自宝座的流中(创世记生命读经,四八四至四八六页)。
13The building of the ark was absolutely against the tide of Noah’s generation. He was against the trend of that age, and “he condemned the world” (Heb. 11:7)…The work of Noah and his family was unique, peculiar, and strange. In human eyes it was impractical. It was according to God’s revelation, and thus, it was against the trend and tide of that generation. Do you not think that the principle is the same today? What we are preaching and doing is altogether against the tide of this generation. But we praise the Lord that we are in His flow. We are not in the tide of this generation; we are in the flow from the throne according to His revelation. (Life-study of Genesis, pp. 395-397)
