创世记结晶读经(十三): 六日谈神创造
第一日
1. 在神的恢复与进一步的创造之第一日,灵、话和光,是神为著完成他定旨所用
以产生生命的凭藉;灵、话和光,都是属於生命─创一 1 ~ 5,罗八 2,腓二 16,
约八 12 下。
2. 基督是灵,乃是神的实际─罗八 9 ~ 10,林后三 17,约十六 13 ~ 15:
3. 神的灵作为生命之灵(罗八 2)覆罩在死水之上,以产生生命,特别为著神的
定旨产生人(创一 2,二 7,一 26)。
4. 属灵经历中,灵的来到是产生生命的第一条件─约六 63 上,十六 8 ~ 11。
5. 基督是话,乃是神的说话─一 1,来一 2。
6. 灵覆罩之后,神的话来到,带进光─创一 3,林后四 6,参诗一一九 105、130。
7. 在属灵经历中,话的来到是产生生命的第二条件─约五 24,六 63 下。
8. 基督是光,乃是神的照耀(创一 3 ~ 5,约一 1、4 ~ 5,八 12 上,九 5);
在属灵经历中,光的来到是产生生命的第三条件(太四 13 ~ 16,约一 1 ~ 13)。
9. 光暗分开,是为著区分昼夜,这是产生生命的第四条件─创一 4 ~ 5,林后六
14 下。
第二日
10. 在第二日,在诸水之间造出广阔的空间,将诸水分开,在属灵上表徵藉著十字
架的工作,将属天的事与属地的事分开;这是产生生命的第五条件─创一 6 ~ 8,
西三 1 ~ 3,来四 12。
11. 旱地露出来,是产生生命的第六条件;这事发生在第三日,与复活之日相符─
创一 9 ~ 13,林前十 五 4。
12. 在圣经里,海代表死,地代表基督是产生生命的源头;地露出来以后,各种生
命─植物生命、动物生 命、甚至人的生命─都从地里产生出来(创一 11 ~ 12、
24 ~ 27,二 7);这豫表神圣生命同其一切丰富都出於基督。
第三日
13. 在第三日,基督在复活里从死而出,以产生生命,为著构成召会─约十二 24,
彼前一 3。
14. 把地和水分开,表徵把生命和死亡分开;从第二日起(创一 6 ~ 7),神开始
作工,拘束并限制遮盖地的死水(参耶五 22)。
15. 至终,当神的工作完成时,在新天新地里就不再有海─启二一 1 与恢复本注 3。
16. 不仅如此,在新耶路撒冷里也不再有黑夜─25 节与恢复本注 2。
17. 这意思是,死亡和黑暗都被除灭了。
18. 植物生命是最低等的生命,是无意识的生命,相当於刚重生的信徒里面神圣生
命最初的阶段─创一11,参林前三 6。
19. 植物生命无数的种类,豫表基督生命那追测不尽之丰富的丰富彰显,包括其悦
人眼目的美丽(创二9),其芬芳(歌一 12 ~ 13),及其对人和动物的滋养(创
一 29 ~ 30)。
20. 树木(二 9,出十五 23 ~ 25,歌二 3,五 15,赛十一 1,约十五 1,启二
二 2)、花(歌一 14)以及作人食物(约六 9、13)并献给神之祭物(利二1 ~
3、14)的谷类,都是基督的豫表。
第四日
21. 第四日出现的光体,是产生生命的第七条件,为要产生较高等的生命─创一 14
~ 19。
22. 按照整本圣经的启示,光是为著生命;光和生命总是并行的─诗三六 9,太四
16,约一4,八 12,约壹一 1 ~ 7。
23. 生命在於光,光越高,生命就越高。
24. 第一日不确定的光(创一 3),足以产生最低等的生命;第四日来自太阳、月
亮和众星等光体(16,诗一三六 7 ~ 9)更扎实且更确定的光,是产生较高等生命
(包括人的生命)所必需的。
25. 这表徵为著我们属灵的重生,『第一日』的光就足彀了;但为著在神圣生命里
长大以至成熟,就需要『第四日』更大、更强的光。
26. 光体是为著作记号,定节令、日子、年岁(创一14),这些都是基督的影儿─
西二 16 ~ 17。
27. 太阳(诗一三六 8)表徵基督(玛四 2,路一 78 ~ 79,太四 16,弗五 14);
主耶稣也将得胜的圣徒比作太阳(太十三 43)。
28. 月亮(诗一三六 9)可视为召会─基督妻子─的表号(参创三七 9,歌六 10)。
29. 月亮本身并不发光,却在夜间因著返照太阳的光而照耀。
30. 照样,召会也因著返照基督神圣的光,而在召会时代的黑夜里发光照耀─林后
三 18,参腓二 15。
31. 众星首先表徵基督,然后表徵得胜者─民二四 17,彼后一 19,启二二 16,但
十二 3。
32. 虽然基督是真太阳,在现今这夜晚的时代,他并非显出如太阳,却照耀如明亮
的晨星─启二二 16。
33. 众星也表徵得胜的圣徒─但十二 3,参启一 20。
34. 当月亮亏缺时,特别需要来自众星的光;照样,召会堕落的时候,特别需要得
胜的圣徒照耀如天上的众星─二 7、11、17、26 ~ 28,三 5、12、20 ~ 21。
35. 第四日的光体的管理,也加强创世记一章四节的光暗分开;二者都是生命长大
的条件。
第五日
36. 第五日生出水中和空中的活物─20 ~23 节。
37.这是具有最低意识的动物生命,相当於信徒生命长大的第一步─参约壹二 13。
38. 海里的动物生命,豫表基督生命的丰富,在於有能力在他的生活中胜过死(由
盐水所表徵);鱼能生活在盐水中却不变咸,照样,基督和他那些有神圣生命的信
徒,也能生活在属撒但的世界里,却不因世界的败坏而『变咸』─参约十四 30,十
七 15 ~ 16。
39. 海里的动物生命,也给我们看见基督生命的丰富,在於以他的丰富□养人─六
9 上,二一 9。
40. 禽鸟的生命比鱼的生命高;鱼能活在死水中,禽鸟则能超越死水。
41. 信徒藉著在神圣生命里长进,就能超越地的一切阻碍─赛四十 31。
42. 禽鸟的生命豫表基督生命的丰富,见於他是鹰,将神所救赎的人带到他的目的
地(出十九 4,申三二11 ~ 12,启十二 14),并见於他是斑鸠或鸽子,为神子民
的罪献给神(利一 14,五 7)。
第六日
43. 第六日生出地上的活物─创一 24 ~31。
44. 地上的牲畜和走兽,是比鱼和禽鸟更高的生命,具有较高的意识,这生命能在
地上成就一些事。
45. 地上的走兽和牲畜,豫表基督生命的丰富,见於基督是得胜的狮子(启五 5),
为神的经纶争战;见 於基督是羊和牛,为著献给神,以完成神完全的救赎(利一
2 ~ 3、10,三 1、6、12,四 3,五6,约一 29,彼前一 19,启五 6 ~ 9);也
见於基督是公牛,为著承担责任并忠信劳苦,以完成神的旨意(太二十 28,约五
17,六 38)。
46. 在基督里的信徒,藉著在神圣生命里进一步的长大,就能在地上过一种对完成
神旨意有用的生活─参 罗五 17,林前三 2,加六 2,林前十五 10、58。
47. 人的生命是最高的受造生命,这生命有神的形像和样式,可以彰显神,并能为
神执掌管治权。
48. 亚当,头一个人,豫表基督(罗五 14,林前十五45、47,诗八 4 ~ 8,来二
6 ~ 9)是神创造的中心(西一 16 ~ 17),是一切受造之物和众人的元首(15,
林前十一 3),在神的形像和样式上是神的彰显(来一 3,林后四 4,西一 15),
也是神的代表,管理神一切的造物(诗八 6 ~ 8,太二八18)。
49. 神的目的是要人有他的形像彰显他,有他的管治权代表他,这不是在亚当这头
一个人(林前十五 45上)─旧人(罗六 6)─身上得著完成,乃是在基督这第二个
人(林前十五 47 下)─新人(弗二15)─身上得著完成;这新人是由基督自己作
头,以及召会作他的身体(一22 ~ 23,林前十二12,西三 10 ~ 11)所组成的。
50. 这要完全在得胜的信徒身上得著完成,他们活基督,作他团体的彰显(腓一 19
~ 26),并要得著权柄制伏列国,在千年国里与基督一同作王(启二26 ~ 27,二
十 4、6)。
51 这要终极完成於新耶路撒冷,彰显神的形像,有他的荣耀和他显出的样子
(四 3 上,二一 11、18上),并且运用神的神圣权柄,维持神对全宇宙的管治权,
直到永远(24,二二 5)。
English Version
Scripture Reading: Gen. 1:1-31
I. The Spirit, the word, and the light were the instruments used by God
to generate life on the first day of His restoration and further creation
for the fulfillment of His purpose; the Spirit, the word, and the light
are all of life (Gen. 1:1-5; Rom. 8:2; Phil. 2:16; John 8:12b):
A. Christ as the Spirit is the reality of God (Rom. 8:9-10; 2 Cor. 3:17;
John 16:13-15):
1. The Spirit of God, as the Spirit of life (Rom. 8:2), came to brood
over the waters of death in order to generate life, especially man, for
God's purpose (Gen. 1:2; 2:7; 1:26).
2. In spiritual experience the Spirit's coming is the first requirement
for generating life (John 6:63a; 16:8-11).
B. Christ as the Word is the speaking of God (1:1; Heb. 1:2):
1. After the Spirit's brooding, the word of God came to bring in the
light (Gen. 1:3; 2 Cor. 4:6; cf. Psa. 119:105, 130).
2. In spiritual experience the coming of the word is the second requirement
for generating life (John 5:24; 6:63b).
C. Christ as the light is the shining of God (Gen. 1:3-5; John
1:1, 4-5; 8:12a; 9:5); in spiritual experience the coming of the light
is the third requirement for generating life (Matt. 4:13-16; John 1:1-13).
D. The separation of the light from the darkness for the purpose of discerning
day from night is the fourth requirement for generating life (Gen. 1:4-5;
2 Cor. 6:14b).
II. The separating of the waters by producing an expanse between them on
the second day, signifying, spiritually, the dividing of the heavenly things
from the earthly things through the work of the cross, is the fifth requirement
for generating life (Gen. 1:6-8; Col. 3:1-3; Heb. 4:12).
III. The appearing of the dry land is the sixth requirement for
generating life; this took place on the third day, corresponding to the
day of resurrection (Gen. 1:9-13; 1 Cor. 15:4):
A. In the Bible the sea represents death, and the land represents Christ
as the generating source of life; after the land appeared, every kind of
life─the plant life, the animal life, and even the human life─was produced
out of the land (Gen. 1:11-12, 24-27; 2:7); this typifies that the divine
life with all its riches comes out of Christ.
B. On the third day Christ came out of death in resurrection to generate
life for the constituting of the church (John 12:24; 1 Pet. 1:3).
C. Dividing the land from the waters signifies separating life from death;
from the second day (Gen. 1:6-7) God began to work to confine and limit
the waters of death that covered the earth (cf. Jer. 5:22):
1. Eventually, when God's work is completed, in the new heaven and new
earth there will be no more sea (Rev. 21:1 and footnote 3, Recovery Version).
2. Furthermore, in the New Jerusalem there will be no more night (v. 25
and footnote 2).
3. This means that both death and darkness will be eliminated.
D. The plant life is the lowest form of life, a life without consciousness,
corresponding to the earliest stage of the divine life in a newly regenerated
believer (Gen. 1:11; cf. 1 Cor. 3:6):
1. The countless varieties of the plant life typify the rich expression
of the unsearchable riches of the life of Christ in their beauty for man's
sight (Gen. 2:9), in their fragrance (S.S. 1:12-13), and in their nourishing
man and animals (Gen. 1:29-30).
2. The trees (2:9; Exo. 15:23-25; S.S. 2:3; 5:15; Isa. 11:1; John 15:1;
Rev. 22:2), the flowers (S.S. 1:14), and the grains as food for man (John
6:9, 13) and as offerings to God (Lev. 2:1-3, 14) are all types of Christ.
IV. The light-bearers appeared on the fourth day as the seventh
requirement for generating life to produce the higher forms of life (Gen.
1:14-19):
A. According to the revelation of the whole Bible, light is for life; light
and life always go together (Psa. 36:9; Matt. 4:16; John 1:4; 8:12; 1 John
1:1-7).
B. Life depends on light, and the higher the light, the higher the life:
1. The indefinite light of the first day (Gen. 1:3) was sufficient for
generating the lowest forms of life; the more solid and more definite light
from the light-bearers─the sun, the moon, and the stars (v. 16; Psa. 136:7-9)
─on the fourth day was necessary for producing the higher forms of life,
including the human life.
2. This signifies that for our spiritual rebirth, the light of the "first
day" is sufficient, but for the growth in the divine life unto maturity,
more and stronger light, the light of the "fourth day," is needed.
3. The light-bearers were for signs, seasons, days, and years (Gen. 1:14),
which are all shadows of Christ (Col. 2:16-17).
C. The sun (Psa. 136:8) signifies Christ (Mal. 4:2; Luke 1:78-79; Matt.
4:16; Eph. 5:14); the overcoming saints were also likened to the sun by
the Lord Jesus (Matt. 13:43).
D. The moon (Psa. 136:9) can be considered a figure of the church, the wife
of Christ (cf. Gen. 37:9; S.S. 6:10):
1. The moon has no light of its own but shines in the night and reflects
the light of the sun.
2. Likewise, the church shines in the dark night of the church age by
reflecting the divine light of Christ (2 Cor. 3:18; cf. Phil. 2:15).
E. The stars first signify Christ and then the overcomers (Num. 24:17;
2 Pet. 1:19; Rev. 22:16; Dan. 12:3):
1. Although Christ is the real sun, He does not appear as the sun during
the present age of night; rather, He shines as the bright morning star (Rev.
22:16).
2. The stars also signify the overcoming saints (Dan. 12:3; cf. Rev. 1:20).
3. The light from the stars is needed particularly when the moon wanes;
likewise, the shining of the overcoming saints as the heavenly stars is
needed particularly in the time of the church's degradation (2:7, 11, 17,
26-28; 3:5, 12, 20-21).
F. The ruling of the fourth-day light-bearers also strengthened the separating
of the light from the darkness in Genesis 1:4; both are requirements for
the growth in life.
V. The living creatures in the water and in the air were generated on the
fifth day (vv. 20-23):
A. This is the animal life with the lowest consciousness, corresponding
to the first step in the believers' growth in life (cf. 1 John 2:13):
1. The animal life in the sea typifies the riches of the life of Christ
in the power that overcomes death (signified by the salt water) in His living;
just as fish can live in salt water without becoming salty, Christ and His
believers, who have the divine life, can live in the satanic world without
being “salted” by the world's corruption (cf. John 14:30; 17:15-16).
2. The animal life in the sea also shows the riches of Christ's life in
feeding man with His riches (6:9a; 21:9).
B. The bird life is higher than the fish life; fish can live in the death
waters, but birds can transcend the death waters:
1. By growing further in the divine life, the believers are
able to transcend all the frustrations of the earth (Isa. 40:31).
2. The bird life typifies the riches of the life of Christ as seen in
His being the eagle for carrying God's redeemed to His destination (Exo.
19:4; Deut. 32:11-12; Rev. 12:14) and in His being the turtledoves or pigeons
for offering to God for the sins of God's people (Lev. 1:14; 5:7).
VI. The living creatures on the earth were generated on the sixth day (Gen.
1:24-31):
A. The cattle and the animals on the earth are a higher life with a higher
consciousness than that of the fish and the birds, a life that can accomplish
something on the earth:
1. The animals and the cattle on the land typify the riches of the life
of Christ as seen in Christ as the conquering lion (Rev. 5:5) to fight for
God's economy, as seen in Christ as the sheep and oxen for offering to God
for the fulfillment of God's full redemption (Lev. 1:2-3, 10; 3:1, 6, 12;
4:3; 5:6; John 1:29; 1 Pet. 1:19; Rev. 5:6-9), and as seen in Christ as
the ox to bear the responsibility and to labor faithfully for the accomplishing
of God's will (Matt. 20:28; John 5:17; 6:38).
2. Through further growth in the divine life the believers in Christ are
able to live on the earth a life that is useful for the fulfilling of God's
will (cf. Rom. 5:17; 1 Cor. 3:2; Gal. 6:2; 1 Cor. 15:10, 58).
B. The human life is the highest created life, the life that can express
God in His image and likeness and can exercise dominion for God:
1. Adam, the first man, typifies Christ (Rom. 5:14; 1 Cor. 15:45, 47;
Psa. 8:4-8; Heb. 2:6-9) as the center of God's creation (Col. 1:16-17),
as the Head of all creation (v. 15) and of all men (1 Cor. 11:3), as God's
expression in God's image and likeness (Heb. 1:3; 2 Cor. 4:4; Col. 1:15),
and as God's representative to rule over all things created by God (Psa.
8:6-8; Matt. 28:18).
2. God's intention that man would express God in His image and represent
God with His dominion is fulfilled not in Adam as the first man (1 Cor.
15:45a), the old man (Rom. 6:6),but in Christ as the second man (1 Cor.
15:47b), the new man (Eph. 2:15), comprising Christ Himself as the Head
and the church as His Body (1:22-23; 1 Cor. 12:12; Col. 3:10-11).
3. It is fully fulfilled in the overcoming believers, who live
Christ for His corporate expression (Phil. 1:19-26) and will have authority
over the nations and reign as co-kings with Christ in the millennium (Rev.
2:26-27; 20:4, 6).
4. It will ultimately be fulfilled in the New Jerusalem, which will express
God's image, having His glory and bearing His appearance (4:3a; 21:11, 18a),
and also exercise God's divine authority to maintain God's dominion over
the entire universe for eternity (v. 24; 22:5).
