2024-03-29 周五 基督由以利亚敬所豫表,作神家中管家之基督的所是

经文:到那日我必召我的仆人,希勒家的儿子以利亚敬来,将你的袍子给他穿上,将你的腰带给他系紧,将你的政权交在他手中;他必作耶路撒冷居民和犹大家的父。(赛二二20-21,另译)

基督由以利亚敬所豫表,作神家中管家之基督的所是

以利亚敬是基督最包罗的豫表之一。这个豫表只见于以赛亚二十二章二十至二十四节这五节经文里。

这预表启示基督的六方面

第一,祂是神家中的管家。

第二,祂是父,作神子民的源头和供应者。一家之父总是那个家庭的源头和供应者。

第三,基督豫表为握有钥匙者。在启示录三章七节,主耶稣说到祂自己是有大卫钥匙的那一位。祂是握着大卫家钥匙的那一位。家是一个人保藏他一切贵重之物的地方。保藏贵重之物的房子就是宝库。基督是那拿着大卫家钥匙的。

第四,我们看见基督像钉在坚固处的钉子。撒迦利亚十章四节和以斯拉九章八节也说到钉子。

第五,基督是祂父家荣耀的宝座。

第六,基督是身上挂着祂父家一切荣耀的那一位。神家中所有的人好比器皿,都挂在祂身上。

我们在本篇信息的交通,指出以利亚敬所豫表之基督的各面,这是给我们看见我们需要讲解、说明圣经。达秘、司可、纽伯瑞都承认以利亚敬是基督真实的豫表。今天我们是站在那些走在我们前面的圣经教师的肩头上,使我们能看见并进入包罗万有之基督更多的丰富。

What Christ Is as the Steward in the House of God, Typified by Eliaskim — Isa. 22:21

What Christ is as the Steward in the house of God, typified by Eliakim. Eliakim is one of the most all-inclusive types of Christ. This type is seen in only five verses of Isaiah 22 – verses 20-24.

Six Aspects of Christ in this Revelation

First, he is the Steward in God’s house. Second, he is the Father as the Source and Supplier to the people of God. A father of a home is always the source of that family and the supplier. Third, Christ is typified as a key-holder. The Lord Jesus referred to himself as the One who has the key of David in Revelation 3:7. He is the One who holds the key of the house of David. The house is the place where a person keeps all his precious things. The house which keeps the precious things is the treasury. Christ is the One who has the key to the house of David. Fourth, Christ is seen as a peg, a nail, driven into a sure place. Zechariah 10:4 and Ezra 9:8 are other verses which refer to the peg, or the nail. Fifth, Christ is a throne of glory for his Father’s house. Sixth, Christ is the One upon whom hangs all the glory of his Father’s house. All the people of God’s house are hanging on him, and these people are likened to vessels.

Our fellowship in this message to point out the aspects of Christ in the type of Eliakim shows that we need the exposition and interpretation of the Bible. Without the proper exposition and interpretation of the Bible, we would not be able to understand it. Darby, Scofield and Newberry all recognized that Eliakim was a real type of Christ. Today we are standing on the shoulders of the teachers of the Bible who have gone before us so that we can see and enter into more of the riches of the all-inclusive Christ.
