20081012第11次主日聚會信息大綱

弗Ephesians 2:14   14 For *he* is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of enclosure(the fence)籬笆的隔牆,(Psa 80:12; Isa 5:5 神的「城」一定有「牆」,神的「葡萄園」也一定有「籬笆」。)「牆 」的作用,是「分開」,產生「牆內的一」,並破壞「與牆外的一」。

 

啟Revelation 21:12 It had a great and high wall, with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels; and names were written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel. Revelation 22:14-15  14 ¶ Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter by the gates into the city.  15 Outside are the dogs and the sorcerers and the immoral persons and the murderers and the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices lying.

新耶路撒冷有「高大 」的牆,就是一種「隔離」─這是「聖」,就是「分別」。與埃及隔離,與巴比倫隔離─與世界分別,與宗教分別。卻是完全「屬神」─ holy to Jehovah

箴Proverbs 24:31 And behold, it was completely overgrown with thistles; Its surface was covered with nettles, And its stone wall was broken down.

召會與世界和宗教是完全沒有關連的。絕對地聖別。這個牆一旦坍塌,和世界和宗教的分界一旦失去,召會就沒有了。

NAU Song of Solomon 4:12 "A garden locked is my sister, my bride, A rock garden locked, a spring sealed up.

NAU Song of Solomon 4:16 "Awake, O north wind, And come, wind of the south; Make my garden breathe out fragrance, Let its spices be wafted abroad. May my beloved come into his garden And eat its choice fruits!"

NAU Song of Solomon 5:1 "I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride; I have gathered my myrrh along with my balsam. I have eaten my honeycomb and my honey; I have drunk my wine and my milk. Eat, friends; Drink and imbibe deeply, O lovers."

歌Song of Solomon 6:2 "My beloved has gone down to his garden, To the beds of balsam, To pasture his flock in the gardens And gather lilies.

這個園子是「專屬神的」,所以要「關鎖」起來。沒有「世界、宗教的影響力」可以進入。是基督與召會的「單獨空間」,這是神的「嫉妒的愛」,不能與世界和宗教共享。雅James 4:4-5   4 You aadulteresses(淫婦), do you not know that friendship with bthe world is chostility toward God? dTherefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.  5 Or do you think that the Scripture aspeaks to no purpose: "The spirit which He has made to dwell in us lusts with envy 2 Lit desires to jealousy

 

歌Song of Solomon 8:8-10   8 "We have a little sister, And she has no breasts; What shall we do for our sister On the day when she is spoken for?  9 "If she is a wall, We will build on her a battlement of silver; But if she is a door, We will barricade her with planks of cedar."  10 "I am a wall, and my breasts were like towers; Then I became in his eyes as one who finds peace. 提後2 Timothy 2:20-21   20 ¶ Now in a large house there are not only gold and silver vessels, but also vessels of wood and of earthenware, and asome to honor and some to dishonor.  21 Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from athese things, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, useful to the Master, bprepared for every good work.

在神的家中會有貴重的器皿wall,也有卑賤的器皿door。神尊重人的抉擇,絕不勉強。但新耶路撒冷是金器,是貴重的器皿,是卑賤的器皿無份的。尼Nehemiah 2:19 But when Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the Ammonite official, and Geshem the Arab heard it, they mocked us and despised us and said, "What is this thing you are doing? Are you rebelling against the king?"

NAU Nehemiah 2:20 So I answered them and said to them, "aThe God of heaven will give us success; therefore we His servants will arise and build, bbut youSanballat the Horonite撒瑪利亞人 and Tobiah ─耶和華是我的好處the Ammonite 1official, and aGeshem the Arab have no portion, right or memorial in Jerusalem."這些外面看起來是「基督徒」的假門徒,很憎惡「牆」;因為一旦正確的「牆」建造起來,就會把他們的真相顯明出來,他們會被排除在「耶路撒冷」之外!

 

林前2 Corinthians 6:14-17   14 ¶ Do not be bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness?  15 Or what harmony has Christ with Belial, or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever?  16 Or what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; just as God said, "I WILL DWELL IN THEM AND WALK AMONG THEM; AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD, AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE.  17 "Therefore, COME OUT FROM THEIR MIDST AND BE SEPARATE," says the Lord. "AND DO NOT TOUCH WHAT IS UNCLEAN; And I will welcome you.

可Mark 8:22-26   22 ¶ And they came to Bethsaida. And they brought a blind man to Jesus and implored Him to touch him.  23 Taking the blind man by the hand, He brought him out of the village(世界); and after spitting (羞辱、憎惡)on his eyes and laying His hands on him, He asked him, "Do you see anything?"  24 And he looked up (原來是「看地」,滿眼是「地」)and said, "I see men(人觀), for I see them like trees, walking around."  25 Then again He laid His hands on his eyes; and he looked intently and was restored, and began to see everything (世界觀、宇宙觀、價值觀、、)clearly.  26 And He sent him to his home, saying, "Do not even enter the village."在其中,將使人永遠瞎眼!要脫離!約John 17:15-18   15 "I do not ask You to take them out of the world, but to keep them from the evil one.  16 "They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.  17 "Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth.  18 "As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.

林前1 Corinthians 5:9-13   9 ¶ I wrote you in my letter not to associate with immoral people;  10 I did not at all mean with the immoral people of this world, or with the covetous and swindlers, or with idolaters, for then you would have to go out of the world.  11 But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he is an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler-- not even to eat with such a one.  12 For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Do you not judge those who are within the church?  13 But those who are outside, God judges. REMOVE THE WICKED MAN FROM AMONG YOURSELVES.

要從世界和宗教出來,脫離其影響力,建立起「隔離」的「高大的牆 」。

 

王下2 Kings 2:6  6 ¶ Then Elijah said to him, "Please stay(sit, dwell坐下,住下) here, for the LORD has sent me to the Jordan." And he said, "As the LORD lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave(forsake離棄) you." So the two of them went on. Psalm 84:10   10 For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand outside. I would rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God Than dwell(居住move in a circle生活在那個圈子裡不離開) in the tents of wickedness.

以利亞是一個神的使徒先知(受神差遣為神說話的人),他會一直往前一直到「神的目的完成神的意志實現神的喜悅滿足」!但對於一個有心想要跟隨他的人,他並不強求。反倒完全尊重人自己的決定讓人自由選擇自己的路。神希望人做「牆 」,但有的人只想做「門」。(但「門」不是神的目的,所以這些只想做「門」的,若確實是被神『選中』chosen的不是不需要成為「牆 」,只是「延後」,並且在「大災難」中接受「強制教育」。Rev 12:1-17得勝者被提,大災難與逼迫the Great Tribulation Matt. 24:21; Rev. 2:22; 7:14)這條路是「愛」的路,神的僕人不會勉強人一定要走。神並不勉強人愛祂。以利沙不離棄以利亞。因為他裡面對神的愛,對以色列的愛。他寧願跟著以利亞走「四浸」,站在「神的殿的門檻那裡」,也不願「住」在邪惡的帳棚裡!

 

提後2Ti 4:10 for Demas, having loved this present world(age), has deserted (forsaken離棄) me and gone to Thessalonica; Crescens has gone to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia. 西Colossians 4:14 Luke, the beloved physician, sends you his greetings, and also Demas. Philemon 1:24 as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellow workers.

底馬原來是保羅的同工,但離棄了保羅。原因不是因為保羅的職事,而是因為底馬「愛現今的世代」─世界和宗教 ─埃及和曠野。四浸的路是要完全脫離世界和宗教 ,是做神「關鎖的園」,是建造「高大的牆」的「新耶路撒冷」。人的裡面若是還存著「與世界為友」的「淫念」,就會不願意和世界與宗教「隔離」,不願意從埃及和巴比倫裡出來,就會離棄這一條「聖別的路」,就會不願意「站在殿的門檻那裡」,而要「住在邪惡的帳棚裡」,就會棄絕「四浸」,離棄「十二職事」。
