不能震動的國(來12 ﹕18-29)
The Unshakeable Kingdom (Hebrews 12:18-29)
一﹐得了不能震動的國(原文﹕現正繼續不斷接受一個不能震動的國—Receiving
a kingdom that cannot be shaken)。正在接受或一直接受﹐意即不停止的信服父神之統管訓練(神的國—GodÕs
Sovereign Rule)--來12﹕9﹐ 28。
一We are receiving a kingdom which cannot
be shaken (Meaning of the original language: Now we are still
continuously receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken). ÒWe are receivingÓ means to be unceasingly
in subjection to GodÕs Sovereign Rule. – Hebrews 12:9,28
二﹐不能震動的國-- 不是來到
西乃山﹐乃是來到
錫安山(for ye are not come unto mount
Sinai----but ye are come unto mount Zion, or for you have not come---but you
have come ---來12﹕18﹐22)。
二 The unshakeable kingdom – Have
not come to Mount Sinai, but have come to Mount Zion – Hebrews 12:18,22
1﹐西乃山 ---代表律法﹑制度﹑規條等等死行 (dead
works---死的行為﹐死的事工 --人墮落後之善惡知識--創2﹕17 ﹕A﹐先懊悔--來6﹕1 ﹐B﹐後潔除 --來 9﹕14) ﹐或人手所造之事工 (as of
things that have been made --來12﹕27--特指﹕by Roman
Catholic, Protestant, Independent, you and me﹐churches,
etc. ) ﹐或營 (the camp --來13 ﹕13---特指﹕舊造之善惡知識營﹐基督教各團體之營)。
1.
Mount Sinai – representing the dead works which are laws, rules,
regulations, etc. (dead works – the deeds of death, and
the work of death – is the knowledge of good and evil after the fall of man – Genesis 2:17: A, regret first –
Hebrews 6:1, B, then cleanse – Hebrews 9:14), or the works made by hands
(Hebrews 12:27 – by Roman Catholic, Protestant, Independent, you and me, churches,
etc.), or the camp (Hebrews 13:13 – the camp of the knowledge of good and
evil from the old man, and the camp of different organizations/denominations of
the Christianity).
如﹕無永存價值(善惡知識)之死生活(包括衣食住行消遣等)﹐死工作(包括士農工商等)﹐死事奉(包括各宗教之聚會服事讀經禱告等)--- 甚至經中例證﹕A, 無約櫃之示羅的帳幕 (撒上4﹕11﹐詩78﹕60) 神離棄﹔B, 獻虛浮供物﹐作罪孽又守嚴肅會﹐禁食仍求利益並以拳頭打人﹐神不接納 (賽1﹕11﹐13﹐58﹕1-4)。
E.g.
the dead life which does not have eternal value (the knowledge of good and
evil, daily basic living, hobbies, etc.), the dead work (all earthly
professions), dead service (meetings, activities, services, Bible reading and
prayers merely for religious purposes)—examples in the Scriptures: A, God
forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh because the ark of the covenant of God was
captured away by the Philistines (1 Samuel 4:11, Psalms 78:60); B, God did not
accept the futile sacrifices, the combination of iniquity and the sacred
meeting, the wickedness of finding pleasure while fasting, and the wickedness
of fasting ending in striking each other with wicked fists (Isaiah 1:11, 13,
Isaiah 58:1-4).
2﹐錫安山---代表主耶穌基督自己—
活神 (living God--the Lord Jesus Christ--來9﹕14 ﹐已經來到活神的城--來12﹕22--道成肉身之耶穌是永生--約1﹕4---重生和豐富進入--彼後1﹕5-11﹐神國--徒28﹕31)。
耶穌基督的啟示 (啟1﹕1 ﹐加1﹕16) --我已經與基督同釘十架﹐現活﹐非我﹐乃基督活(加2﹕20---錫安山羔羊同伴--啟14﹕1-5) 。
2.
Mount Zion – Representing the Lord Jesus Christ Himself
The
Living God (– the Lord Jesus Christ – Hebrews 9:14, having come to
the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem – Hebrews 12:22, the
incarnated Word Jesus Christ is the eternal life – John 1:4, Have been born again
and
entered into with abundant supply– 2 Peter
1:5-11, the kingdom of God – Acts 28:31)
The
revelation of the Christ Jesus (Revelation 1:1, Galatians 1:16) -- I have been
crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me
(Galatians 2:20 – the followers of the Lamb—Revelation14:1-5)
信心見證人﹕亞伯(羔羊死﹐亞伯死﹐亞伯說話(復活)--來11﹕4) ﹐ 與我們同得 (來11﹕40---舊約和新約信徒在耶穌基督釘十架時同得)----各人蒙恩乃照基督度量(弗4﹕7)
–100%, 60%, 30%, 20%É太13﹕8。
Witnesses
of faith: Abel (the death of a lamb, the death of Abel, the voice of Abel
(resurrection) – Hebrews 11:4), receive with us (Hebrews 11:40 –
Saints in OT and NT have received together at the crucifixion of
Jesus Christ)—to each one of us grace was given according to the measure
of ChristÕs gift (Ephesians 4:7)-- 100%, 60%, 30%, 20%É (Matthew13:8)
信的和不信的不能同負一軛--林後6﹕14--特指同一工作
﹐--從信服到信服(羅1﹕17)﹐即從信的開始 (靈活過來--包括十架代替之擔罪全部工作--弗2﹕5) 到信的末了(魂的救恩--包括十架代表之同死全部工作--彼前1﹕9)。
Believers
should not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers –2 Corinthians
6:14 – especially talking about work in one accord—from faith to
faith (Romans 1:17), that is from the beginning of faith (alive in spirit
– including all the work that Jesus has done on the cross bearing our
sins on our behalf—Ephesians 2:5) to the end of the faith (the salvation
of souls – including all the work that Jesus has done on the cross for us
that we are crucified with Him –1 Peter 1:9)
信徒一生都在增長改變之過程中﹐從榮耀(重生得救) 到榮耀(長大成人﹐基督豐滿--林後3﹕18) ﹐意即信徒一生都在繼續不斷接受不能震動的國。意即生活﹐工作﹐事奉﹐一舉一動﹐一言一行﹐都是藉著相信順服父神統管訓練(神的國—GodÕs
Sovereign Rule---亦即負架跟主--來12﹕9-10﹐可8﹕34) 而彰顯基督﹐活出基督! 這即來到錫安山﹗
The life time of all the believers is in the
process of growing and changing, from glory (salvation) to glory (come to a
perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ – 2
Corinthians 3:18), which means that believers in their whole life time are
receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken. It also means that our lives,
works, services, our walk, our words, should all make Christ known, should all
live Christ out through our trust and obedience to GodÕs Sovereign Rule –
also called carrying our cross and following the Lord (Hebrews 12:9-10, Mark
8:34)! This is the meaning of coming to Mount Zion!
三﹐錫安的爭辯 (the
controversy or cause of Zion) 和報應之年 — 為錫安的爭辯﹐有報應(回餽)之年(賽34﹕8)。The
cause of Zion and the year of recompense – For it is the year of
recompense of the cause of Zion (Isaiah 34:8)
1, 錫安歷史意義---即耶路撒冷--耶城原為耶布斯人之營寨﹐大衛作王﹐攻取﹐改建為大衛城﹐又稱錫安保障--代上11﹕4-5。
1.
The historical meaning of Zion – Jerusalem – which
was Jebus where the Jebusites
were. David became the king, and took it and changed it to the City of David,
also called the stronghold of Zion – 1 Chronicles 11:4-5.
(1) 錫安--萬國之風暴中心 (歷史可知---詩2---爭鬧﹑謀算﹑商議﹑敵擋﹑掙開﹑脫去等等﹐神說﹕我已經立我的君在錫安我的聖山上了﹗--當省悟﹑受指教﹑當畏懼事奉耶和華﹐以嘴親子免滅亡﹗)--錫安乃耶城之心臟﹐本質﹐屬靈意義。
(1) Zion – the center of storms for the
nations ( We know from the history – Psalm 2 –raging, plotting,
taking counsel, being against, breaking, casting away, etc), God says: I have
set My King on My holy hill of Zion! – Now therefore, be wise, be
instructed, serve the Lord with fear, and kiss the Son lest you perish!)—Zion
is the heart of Jerusalem, the essence, the spiritual meaning.
(2) 神子民靈命之晴雨表﹕與神關係弄對﹑正確﹑行善等等﹐堅立﹑得勝﹑穩妥﹑榮耀(代下31﹕20--一個天使滅亞述全軍--王下19﹕35﹐代下32﹕21) ﹔與神關係不對﹑靈命敗落﹑低劣﹑錯誤﹑行惡等等﹐必軟弱﹑受擊﹑粉碎﹑毀滅---示羅之帳幕--撒上4﹕1。今日神要者乃活出基督品德﹑榮美者。
(2) Zion – the spiritual weather
forecasting chart for GodÕs people: right with God, and do what was good and
right and true before the Lord God, then they will be prosperous, victorious,
stable, glorious (2 Chronicles 31:20 – An angel destroyed the whole army
of Assyria –2 Kings 19:35, 2 Chronicles 32:21); Not right with God, away
from God, evil, full of iniquity, then they will be weak, attacked, crushed,
destroyed – the tabernacle of Shiloh – 1 Samuel 4:1. Today
God is seeking those who live out the goodness and beauty of Christ.
(3) 神選民(舊約﹑新約) 之呼召和使命--在萬國中活出一個見證﹕啟示﹑顯明﹑透露﹑創造萬有之真神﹗如何逼真﹑現時﹑偉大﹑榮耀﹑聖潔﹑至善﹑非凡﹑權能之神﹗--錫安代表神為著全人類之豐滿心意--永生(活) 神之城邑。舊約之遺民(尼11﹕2) ﹑新約之得勝者(啟3﹕21﹑14﹕1-5) 真實表現活出錫安屬靈光景。
(3) Zion – the calling and mission of GodÕs
chosen people (OT and NT) – to live as a testimony among nations: reveal,
make known, preach God the Creator of the whole universe, the one who is true, all present, great, glorious,
holy, good, wonderful, and full of power! – Zion is the all sufficient will of God towards all mankind – the
city of the eternal God. The remnants from OT(Nehemiah 11:2), the overcomers
in NT (Revelation 3:21, Revelation 14:1-5) have lived out the true spiritual
condition of Zion.
2﹐錫安屬靈意義---即活的基督 (Living
Person, Living Christ)— 即報應(回餽--賽34 ﹕8)之年。
2,
The spiritual meaning of Zion – the Living Person (Christ) -- the year of
recompense (Isaiah 34:8)
(1) 進入基督完滿之救恩--成了(約19﹕30﹐詩2)--- 新造﹐信者身上顯為希奇--林後5﹕17﹐帖後1﹕10。
(1)
Enter into the full Salvation of Christ – It is finished (John 19:30,
Psalm 2)—new creation, to be admired among all those who believe (2 Corinthians
5:17, 2 Thessalonians 1:10)
(2) 經歷基督完全得勝--陰間眾門不能關鎖 (太16﹕18﹐撒下5﹕7﹐10﹐來2﹕14)--- 浩大能力--弗1﹕18-22。
(2)
Experience the full victory in Christ – the gates of Hades shall not
prevail against it. (Matthew 16:18, 2 Samuel 5:7,10, Hebrews
2:14) – His exceedingly great power (Ephesians 1:18-22)
(3) 成為基督居所--神的居所(領進﹐栽產業山﹐神住處﹐所建聖所--出15﹕17)。--非屬地組織制度É乃滿了仁愛﹑公義﹑聖潔﹑溫柔﹑謙卑﹑神的同在É--太18﹕20。
(3)
Become the dwelling place for Christ – GodÕs dwelling place (You will
bring them in and plant them in the mountain of Your inheritance, In the place,
O LORD, which You have made for Your own dwelling, the sanctuary, O Lord, which
Your hands have established – Exodus 15:17). – It is not an earthly
organization or regulationÉ it is full of love, righteousness, holiness,
meekness, humility, GodÕs presenceÉ (Matthew 18:20)
(4) 容讓基督統治掌權之座位--大君王城(詩48﹕2)﹐
與主同坐寶座(啟3﹕21--給﹑給﹑給--創42﹕25﹐列國行在城的光中--啟21﹕24) 。
事主﹑禁食﹑聖靈說(徒13﹕2--非會議室)。
(4)
Let Christ reign on the throne –
the city of the great King (Psalm 48:2), sit with Christ on His throne
(Revelation 3:21 – give, give, give – Genesis 42:25, the nations of
those who are saved shall walk in its light – Revelation 21:24). As they
ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said (Acts 13:2 – not
a decision made through discussion in a meeting room)
(5) 呈現確定無疑之團契 --大衛希伯倫 (團契) 作猶大王7 年(33年在錫安作全國王--撒下5﹕5)--- 奇妙交通﹑完美團契 --與活神﹐千萬天使﹐諸長子教會共聚總會﹐被成全之義人眾靈﹐中保耶穌團契 --來12﹕22-24。
(5)
Show a fellowship of doubtless assurance – In Hebron (fellowship) David
reigned over Judah seven years and six months, (and in Jerusalem he reigned
thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah. – 2 Samuel 5:5)—wonderful
and beautiful fellowship -- But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of
the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, to
the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven,
to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, to Jesus the
Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better
things than that of Abel. – Hebrews 12:22-24
(6) 享有靈筵大會之實際--守聖節城(賽33﹕20)-- 嘉年華會(神子民慶祝救贖﹑王權﹑同在﹑管訓﹑團契等等節期筵會)。
(6)
Have the reality of the spiritual feasts – the city of the appointed
feasts (Isaiah 33:20)—Carnival (the appointed feasts that GodÕs people
celebrate Redemption, Lordship, GodÕs presence, GodÕs discipline,
fellowship etc.)
(7) 握有屬靈特權之地場--生在錫安(詩87﹕5--出生地--上面生﹑公民﹑天上國民--腓 3﹕ 20﹑基督後嗣--羅 8﹕ 17﹐污鬼都承認--路4﹕34﹐非埃及﹑推羅﹑巴比倫﹑非利士﹑古實)。
(7)
A place having spiritual privileges – born in Zion (Psalm 87:5 –
Birth place – born from above, citizens of heaven – Philippians
3:20, heirs of Christ—Romans 8:17, admitted by evil spirits – Luke
4:34; not Egypt, not Tyre, not Babylon, not
Philistine, not Cush).
3, 錫安的爭辯—(賽34﹕8—controversy
or cause of Zion)--- 活出基督之道路。
3,
The cause of Zion (Isaiah 34:8) –
Living out the way of Christ.
(1) 爭辯焦點之一﹕耶穌基督之絕對主權。傳基督耶穌為主﹐萬有主(林後4﹕5﹑徒10﹕36) 。爭鬧﹐謀算﹐商議﹐敵擋耶和華並祂的受膏者﹐我已經立我的君在錫安我的聖山上了(詩2) 。風暴﹑爭鬧﹑爭辯﹑論戰都集中在受膏者耶穌基督身上。新約開頭基督徒﹐刀殺雅各﹑捉拿彼得﹑門徒分散等等﹐何事發生﹖已經立我的君在錫安聖山了﹗希律被蟲咬死﹐神的道日見興旺﹐越發廣傳(徒12﹕1﹑2﹐23﹑24) 。誰能使我們與神愛隔絕﹖得勝有餘﹗羔羊無論何往都跟隨﹗
(1)
Debate 1: the absolute lordship of Jesus Christ. Preach that Jesus Christ is
the Lord, the Lord of lords (2 Corinthians 4:5, Acts 10:36). ÒRage, plot,
counsel, be against the Lord and His AnointedÉ Yet I have set My King on My
holy hill of Zion (Psalm 2). Storms, rages, quarrels, fights are all focusing
on Jesus Christ the Anointed. The early Christians in
NT, James being killed with the sword, Peter being thrown into prison,
disciples being scattered, etc., what happened? I have set My
King on My holy hill of Zion! Herod was eaten by worms and died,
the word of God grew and multiplied (Acts 12:1, 2, 23,24). Who can separate us
from the love of God? More than conquerors ! Wherever
the Lamb goes, we will go!
(2)爭辯焦點之二﹕世界的靈反對耶穌的見證。嚴厲的屬靈爭戰(弗6﹕12) 。世界的靈專注屬地暫時朽壞之生活工作事奉﹐神的靈專注屬天屬靈永遠不朽壞之生活工作事奉。耶穌的見證(靈生靈治靈膏) 即一舉一動﹐一言一行都彰顯活出基督﹗此乃教會蒙召之目的和使命。經中不愛世界﹐不屬世界即此意。
(2)
Debate 2: the spirit of the world is against the testimony of Jesus. The severe spiritual battle (Ephesians 6:12). The spirit of
this world is focusing on the living, work and service of the temporary and the
corruptible, GodÕs Spirit is focusing on the living, work and service of the
heavenly, spiritual and the eternal, which is incorruptible. The testimony of
Jesus (born of the Spirit, controlled by the Spirit, and anointed by the
Spirit) is to live out Christ through our walk and talk! This is the purpose
and mission of the calling of Church. And this is the meaning of loving not the
world, being not of the world in the Scriptures.
(3)爭辯焦點之三﹕受造物之嘆息和產難之苦。萬國騷動﹐戰爭﹐飢荒﹐地震﹐冒基督名宗教家假先知迷惑人﹐為基督名者被人恨惡等等﹐天災人禍﹐(太24 ﹕5 ﹐ 7 ﹐ 9﹐ 24) 皆為神目的﹗---世人得永生﹐信徒被模成神子模樣(羅8﹕28-29)。地上邦國有困苦(原文無出路--路21﹕25)。猶如利百加經長途進迦南﹐才與以撒結婚。
(3)
Debate 3: the groans of the whole creation and the labors with birth. These are
purposed by God that nations are against nations, wars, famines, pestilences
and earthquakes, false christs and false prophets try
to deceive people, those who testify the name of the Lord are hated, natural and man-made
disasters. (Matthew 24:5, 7, 9, 24) – so that nonbelievers will believe
and have eternal life, believers will be made into the likeness of the Son of
God (Romans 8:28,29). Nations on earth have sufferings (Meaning of the original
language is no hope/no way – Luke 21:25). Just like Rebecca who had
to go through a long journey to enter into Canaan to marry Isaac.
---以上三點﹕即活出基督( 回餽年—The
year of recompense) 之道路(十架): A, 讓耶穌基督絕對作主﹔B, 持有耶穌的見證﹔C, 經歷產難之苦。
The
three points above are talking about the way of living out Christ (the year of
recompense), it is to carry our cross: A Let
Jesus Christ be the Lord; B Have the testimony of Jesus; C Go through the
labors of birth
四﹐聖靈的呼召---向全教會(給教會之使者--啟2﹕1﹐14)---得勝的(he who
overcomes--啟2﹕7﹐3﹕21)-- 單數(個人)。---(參啟14﹕1-5--錫安山羔羊同伴--羔羊無論何往都跟隨﹗)
---使徒行傳之繼續(徒28﹕30-31)-- 神的觀點--保羅之見證(各處之得勝者)﹕(1) 目的--活出基督( 教導主耶穌基督之事--耶穌是主﹐耶穌是基督--受了聖靈之膏﹐Jesus is
Lord, Jesus is Anointed﹐--主說﹕無論在那裡﹐在我名裡聚集
﹐我就在其中--太18﹕20)。 (2) 道路--相信順服神一切統管訓練( 傳講神的國—Sovereign
Rule of God--十架道路--包括代替和代表)。 (3) 結果 -- A﹐不屬世界﹐不扎根在地上(租房—nothing
on earth)。B ﹐不閉關﹐偉大教會(凡來者都接待 --
no exclusiveness--不是小基督﹐小教會—little
Christ, little Church--凡人手控制和組織之信徒聚集 (特別兩個或以上者) ﹐都是小基督﹐小教會)。C﹐忠信﹐不妥協(放膽)。
四 The calling of the Spirit – to
the whole Church (To the angel of the church – Revelation 2:1,14) –
he who overcomes (Revelation 2:7, 3:21) – singular (individual).
– (revelation 14:1-5 – the followers of the Lamb – following
the Lamb wherever He goes!) – Continuation of Acts
(Acts 28:30-31) – GodÕs point of view – the testimony of Paul (overcomers from everywhere): (1) The
purpose—to live out Christ (Him we preach – Jesus is the Lord, Jesus
is Christ who is anointed by the Holy Spirit, -- the Lord said: Òwhere two or
three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.(Matthew 18:20) Ò (2) The way – to believe and obey
GodÕs sovereign rule (preach the kingdom of God – the Calvary –
including replacement and representation). (3)The
result: A. not of the world, not rooted on earth
(renting the place – have nothing on earth). B. not closed
up, great church (no exclusiveness – not little Christ,
little Church – any believersÕ gathering which is
controlled and organized by human hands, especially when two
or more people are gathering, is little Christ, little church). C. loyal, not compromised (be bold).
五﹐蒙恩見證﹕
五﹐Testimony of my Salvation
(1) 1955--聖經開啟-- 基督這個活的人(The Living
Person) 乃全部聖經之鑰匙。歷史﹑故事﹑道理等等﹐都滿了屬靈永遠原則﹐並
且要與眾聖徒一同明白基督是何等的闊長深高 (弗3﹕18)。愈多順服聖靈﹐愈多發現其屬靈原則。-- (參路24﹕44﹐來1﹕2﹐13﹕8) 。這即兒子名分( Sonship), 或耶穌基督的啟示(The
Revelation of Jesus Anointed)。
(1)1955 – Bible was opened for me – the living
person of Christ is the key of the whole Bible. Histories, stories, words etc.
are all full of spiritual principles, and we may be able to comprehend with all
the saints what is the width and length and depth and
height –to know the love of Christ (Ephesians 3:18). The more we obey the
Holy Spirit, the more we will find the spiritual principles. (Luke 24:44,
Hebrews 1:2, 13:8). This is the Sonship, or the
Revelation of Jesus Christ.
(2) 1957--偉大教會--Ò教會領袖團Ó(
Church-leadership )﹐絕對不持守那些固定Ò人手所造事工Ó或Ò 死行Ó( 來12﹕27﹐9﹕14)﹐
而專一Ò凡事跟隨聖靈Ó( 約壹2﹕27﹐太18 ﹕20) ﹐就必領導該處教會﹐從小基督﹐小教會 (little
Christ, little Church) 轉離出去﹐而成為Ò神偉大教會Ó﹗
教會不是用作法﹑道理﹑組織﹑人多人少等等來測量的﹐乃是以基督(Anointed) 來測量的 (The
Church is measured by Christ---太16﹕ 16-18﹐ 18﹕ 20)!
(2)1957—Great Church – Òchurch-leadershipÓ, for
sure not to hold fast the Òman-madeÓ ministry or Òdead deedsÓ (Hebrews 12:27,
9:14), but to abide in the Holy Spirit only (1John 2:27, Matthew 18:20) to lead
the local church from little Christ or little Church to ÒGodÕs great ChurchÓ! Church is not measured by methods,
reasons, organizations, or the number of people, but by Christ (Matthew 16:16-18, 18:20)!
(3) 1964--教會決斷事務-- Ò聖靈說Ó( 徒13 ﹕2) ---各處 (無人手組織) 之教會領袖團﹕A﹐事奉主-- Christ
is all and in all﹐目標都在基督身上﹐同工都有主的引導。B﹐禁食--Self-denial﹐完全捨棄或不堅持自己個人之引導。C﹐聖靈說—Sensitive
to the Holy Ghost﹐但同工們當時都
贊成您的引導﹐這即
聖靈說﹗
(3)
1964 – Church made decision -- ÒThe Holy Spirit saidÓ (Acts 13:2) –
church-leadership (not controlled by human hands) in different
locations: A. Serve the Lord – Christ is all and in all, the coworkers
were all led by the Lord. B. Fast – self-denial, surrender all and hold
not on to oneÕs own opinion. C. ÒThe Holy Spirit saidÓ
– be sensitive to the Holy Spirit, when all the coworkers agreed on the
leading, this is ÒThe Holy Spirit saidÓ!
