关于新耶路撒冷

新耶路撒冷是经过过程的三一神,与蒙祂拣选、救赎、重生、变化、并荣化之三部分子民的生机构成。

启二一1

我又看见一个a新天新地;因为第一个天和第一个地已经过去了,海也不再有了。
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and the sea is no more.

新耶路撒冷将会显现在新天新地里。

启二一2

我又看见圣城新耶路撒冷由神那里从天而降,预备好了,就如新妇妆饰整齐,等候丈夫。
And I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

新耶路撒冷是新妇,不是一座物质的城。(a彼后三13、赛六五17、六六22)


403  启二一9

拿着七个金碗,盛满末后七灾的七位天使中,有一位来对我说,你来,我要将新妇,就是羔羊的妻,指给你看。
And one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and spoke with me, saying, Come here; I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.

新耶路撒冷是一个团体人,就是新妇,羔羊的妻。


404  启二一10

我在灵里,天使带我到一座高大的山,将那由神那里从天而降的圣城耶路撒冷指给我看。

新耶路撒冷是一个团体人,就是新妇,羔羊的妻。


405  启一11

耶稣基督的启示,就是神赐给祂,叫祂将必要快发生的事指示祂的众奴仆;祂就藉着祂的使者传达,用表号指示祂的奴仆约翰。
Who testified the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ, even all that he saw.

启示录是一本标号的书。因此,新耶路撒冷是一个标号。


406  约二19

耶稣回答说,你们拆毁这殿,我三日内要将它建立起来。
Jesus answered and said to them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

主废弃物质的殿而建立属灵的殿。这指出需要属灵的解释。


407  约二21

但耶稣是以祂的身体为殿说的。
But He spoke of the temple of His body.


408  约十四20

在我父的家里,有许多住处;若是没有,我早已告诉你们了;我去是为你们预备地方。
In My Father's house are many abodes; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you.

作为基督身体上的肢体,信徒乃是父家的住处。 (参林前三16、彼前二5)
因此,父的家不是天堂,而是召会,(参提前三15)基督的身体,终极完成新耶路撒冷。


409  约十四23、启二二17

耶稣回答说,人若爱我,就必遵守我的话,我父也必爱他,并且我们要到他那里去,同他安排住处。
Jesus answered and said to him, If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word, and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make an abode with him.

启二二17

那灵和新妇说,来!听见的人也该说,来!口渴的人也当来;愿意的都可以白白取生命的水喝。
And the Spirit and the bride say, Come! And let him who hears say, Come! And let him who is thirsty come; let him who wills take the water of life freely.

圣经结束于一对夫妇,就是三一神作为终极完成的灵(参约七39)
与作为新妇的召会。(参弗五32)


410  罗八29

因为神所预知的人,祂也预定他们模成神儿子的形像,使祂儿子在许多弟兄中作长子。
Because those whom He foreknew, He also predestinated to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the Firstborn among many brothers;

新耶路撒冷是神圣儿子名分的集大成。


411  来二10

原来万有因祂而有,藉祂而造的那位,为着要领许多的儿子进荣耀里去,就藉着苦难成全他们救恩的创始者,这对祂本是合宜的。
For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things and through whom are all things, in leading many sons into glory, to make the Author of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

And around the throne there were twenty-four thrones, and upon the thrones twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white garments, and upon their heads golden crowns.

新耶路撒冷的墙是碧玉,与那坐在宝座上的神所显出来的样子一样。因此,新耶路撒冷有神的彰显。


414  启二一11

城中有神的荣耀;城的光辉如同极贵的宝石,好像碧玉,明如水晶;

但你们乃是来到锡安山,来到活神的城,属天的耶路撒冷,来到千万天使整体的聚集,
But you have come forward to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem; and to myriads of angels, to the universal gathering;

新耶路撒冷是活神的城。


418  林后五17

因此,若有人在基督里,他就是新造;旧事已过,看哪,都变成新的了。

新耶路撒冷是新的,因为有神在其中。


419  启二一3

我听见有大声音从宝座出来,说,看哪,a神的帐幕与人同在,祂要与人同住,他们要作祂的百姓,神要亲自与他们同在,作他们的神。
And I heard a loud voice out of the throne, saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will tabernacle with them, and they will be His peoples, and God Himself will be with them and be their God.

420  林前三16

岂不知你们是神的殿,神的灵住在你们里面么?
Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

421  启二一22

我未见城内有殿,因主神全能者和羔羊为城的殿。
And I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.


422  启三12

得胜的,我要叫他在我神殿中作柱子,他也绝不再从那里出去;我又要将我a神的名,和我神城的名,(这城就是由天上从我神那里降下来的新耶路撒冷,)并我的新名,都写在他上面。
He who overcomes, him I will make a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall by no means go out anymore, and I will write upon him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which descends out of heaven from My God, and My new name.

新耶路撒冷是神的殿。新耶路撒冷是神人相互的住处。我们不是去新耶路撒冷,而是成为新耶路撒冷。 (a启二二4)

城是四方的,长宽一样;天使用苇子量那城,共有一万二千斯泰底亚,长宽高都a相等。

And on this side and on that side of the river was the tree of life, producing twelve fruits, yielding its fruit each month; and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.

新耶路撒冷的供备─生命水的河与生命树。 生命水的河供应源自宝座。生命树是一种藤蔓,是沿着生命水河边生命的供应。生命树是神赎民永远的分。


431  启二二14、启一20

新耶路撒冷是个巨大的金灯台─所有金灯台的集大成。
