Jerusalem

  

Jerusalem, on Mount Zion, signifies the doctrine of love to the Lord, and how it governs your life. Jerusalem first comes to our attention in 2 Samuel 5, when King David takes the city from the Jebusites and makes it his capital. In the next chapter he brings the Ark of the Covenant there, and later it is where Solomon builds the temple, and his own palace. From then on Jerusalem is the center of worship of the Israelitish church. It is the place where the Lord was presented in the temple as a baby, where He tarried to talk to the priests at age twelve, where He cleansed the temple, had the last supper, was crucified and then rose. It is a central place in both the old and new Testaments. The city was built on Mount Zion, the highest point of the mountains of Judea. A city, in the Word, represents doctrine, the organized knowledge of the truths of the church. Mountains represent love of the Lord and the consequent worship. If you put those things together, Jerusalem on Mount Zion signifies the doctrine of love to the Lord, and how it governs your life. This is why David was led to make Jerusalem the most important city of the land, and why all worship was conducted there. And this is also why Jeroboam was condemned for introducing idol worship in Samaria. In the Book of Revelation, John's vision of the city New Jerusalem descending from God is a prophecy of a new dispensation of doctrine coming from the Lord.

489. “众子和众女” 表他们直觉到的真理与良善; 事实上, “众子” 表真理, “众女” 表良善. 这从先知书的很多经文清楚看出. 在圣言中如古时那样, 教会的怀孕和出生被称为 “众子和众女”, 如以赛亚书.

万国要来就你的光, 君王要来就你发现的光辉; 你举目向四方观看; 众人都聚集来到你这里; 你的众子从远方来, 你的众女也被怀抱而来; 那时, 你看见就有光荣, 你心又跳动又宽畅. (以赛亚书 60:3-5)

上述经文中的 “众子” 表真理, “众女” 表良善.

诗篇:

求你救拔我, 救我脱离外邦人的众子之手, 他们的口说谎话. 我们的儿子从幼年好像树栽子长大, 我们的女儿如同殿角石, 是按建殿宇的样式凿成的. (诗篇 144:11-12)

“外邦人的众子” 表伪真理, 或虚假; “我们的儿子 “表真理的教义; “我们的女儿” 表良善的教义.

以赛亚书:

我要对北方说: “交出来! ” 对南方说: “不要扣留! “将我的众子从远方带来, 将我的众女从地极领回; 要将瞎眼的带出来, 他们必将有眼; 将耳聋的带出来, 他们必将有耳. (以赛亚书 43:6, 8)

上述经文里的 “众子” 表真理; “众女” 表良善; “瞎眼的” 表那些将要看见真理的人; “耳聋的” 表那些将要顺服真理的人. 耶利米书:

从我们幼年以来, 羞耻将我们列祖所劳碌得来的羊群, 牛群, 和他们的儿女都吞吃了. (耶利米书 3:24)

这里的 “儿女” 表真理和良善.

在下面以赛亚书经文中, “男孩” 与 “众子” 表示真理:

雅各必不再羞愧, 他的脸容也不再变为苍白; 因为他看见他的男孩, 就是我手的工作; 在他中间, 他们必尊我的名为圣, 必尊雅各的圣者为圣, 必敬畏以色列的神; 灵里迷糊的必得明白. (以赛亚书 29:22-24)

“雅各的圣者, 以色列的神” 表示主; “男孩” 表示重生者, 他们拥有对善与真的觉知, 如所显明的那样. 同一先知书:

你这不怀孕, 不生养的, 你要歌唱! 因为荒凉者的众子比已婚者的更多. (以赛亚书 54:1)

“荒凉者 (the desolate) 的众子” 表初期教会或外邦人教会的真理; 而 “已婚者的众子” 则表犹太教会的真理. 耶利米书:

我的帐棚毁坏, 我的绳索折断; 我的众子离我出去, 没有了. (耶利米书 10:20)

这里的 “众子” 表示真理. 同一先知书:

他的众子要如往日, 他们的会众竖立在我面前. (耶利米书 30:20) 这里的 “众子” 表古教会 (the Ancient Church) 的真理. 撒迦利亚书:

我要激发你的众子, 锡安哪, 与你的众子一起, 雅各哪, 使你如勇士的刀剑. (撒迦利亚书 9:13)

这里的 “众子” 表内含爱的信之真理.
