马太福音-Matthew 3章2节
| 3:2 |
你们要悔改，因为诸天的国已经临近了。 And saying, Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens has drawn near. |
Enlightenment:
John said to repent for the kingdom of the heavens. The term “the heavens,” a Hebrew idiom, does not refer to anything plural in nature; rather, it refers to the highest heaven, which according to the Bible is the third heaven, the heaven above the heaven. This third heaven is called the heavens. The kingdom of the heavens does not denote a kingdom in the air, but a kingdom above the air, a kingdom in the heaven above the heaven, where God’s throne is. In this kingdom there is the ruling, the reigning, of God Himself. Therefore, the kingdom of the heavens is the kingdom of God in the third heaven where He exercises His authority over everything created by Him. This kingdom of the heavens must come down to earth. This heavenly reign must descend to earth to be the authority over the earth.
亮光
约翰说，要为着诸天的国悔改。『诸天』这辞是希伯来成语，不是指在性质上是复数的东西；乃是指最高的天，按圣经说是第三层天，天上之天。第三层天称为诸天。诸天的国不是表明在空中的国，乃是表明在空中之上的国，天上之天的国，那里是神的宝座所在之处。在这国里有神自己的管治，掌权。因此，诸天的国就是在第三层天上神的国，神在那里行使祂的权柄，管理祂所造的一切。这诸天的国必须降临到地上 。这属天的掌权必须降临到地上，成为管理地的权柄。
