这所建筑最终的出现，就是新耶路撒冷
在那座城里，神是在人里头以人为居所，人也是在神里头以神为住处。这实在是一件荣耀的事。这也就是神今天所要作的工。我们看到，在创造之工完成的时候，圣经说，神安息了；但在以赛亚六十六章，神又说，天是我的座位，地是我的脚凳，那里是我安息之所呢？这话就证明神虽然创造了天地，完毕了造物的工，但祂并没有在宇宙中得到一个安息之所。所以祂还必须再作工来为祂自己建造一个安息之所。圣经中所一直着重说的，就是神这个建造的工作。神创造的工作只用了六天的工夫，而神这建造的工作到了六千年后的今天，还没有完成。所以在宇宙中，神这一个建造的工作乃是一件重大奥秘的事。
神这个建造是怎样完成的呢？
简单的说，神建造的工作，就是神与人的调和。神调在人里面，就是神把祂自己建造到人里面；人调到神里面，就是人被建造到神里面。在原先的创造里，天是天，地是地；神是神，人是人；这两面从来没有碰过头，从来没有调和在一起。但在神建造的工作里，神就要把祂自己建造到人里面，也要把人建造到祂里面。这二者调和建造在一起，就成为宇宙中的一所建筑，可以称作宇宙之家。这一所建筑物，或者说这一个家，乃是神与人二者调和组成的，是神的家，也是人的家；是神以人为居所，也是人以神为住处；换句话说，就是神人互为居所。
神在时间里面所有的工作，就是为要得着这样的一个居所
在宇宙中虽然有天有地，但是神却不以天为祂的居所，神也不把地当作人的住处。若是在宇宙中神没有与人调和为一，神一直在人之外，神就是一位没有居所的神，就是一位无家可归的神。同样的，若是在宇宙中，人没有与神调和为一，人一直活在神之外，人也就是一个流离失所，无家可归的人。无论是神或是人，在宇宙中真实的居所，并不是天，也不是地，更不是任何一所的房屋，乃是神调在人里面，人调在神里面，神人二者互调而成的一个一。这一个一，乃是宇宙的一个大一，也就是一所属灵的建筑，是一个宇宙之家。神历代的建造，就是要得着这样的一个居所，这样的一个家。

God’s Building Is the Mingling of God and Man, a Mutual Abode – Rev. 21:2-3
The Ultimate Appearance of this Building Is the New Jerusalem
In that city, God makes man his dwelling place in man, and man makes God his dwelling place in God. This is truly a glorious matter, it is also the work God wants to do today. When the work of creation was completed, the Bible said that God rested; but in Isaiah 66, God also said that heaven is my throne and the earth is my footstool, and where is a place that I may rest? These verses prove that even though God created the heavens and the earth, and completed the work of creation, yet He did not find a resting place in the universe. So He had to work again to build a resting place for Himself. What the Bible always emphasizes is God’s work on building. God’s work of creation only took six days, but God’s work of building has not been completed even today, which is six thousand years later. Therefore, in the universe, God’s building work is a major and mysterious matter.
How Does God Complete this Building?
Simply put, God’s work of building is the mingling of God and man. The mingling of God into man means God is building Himself into man; the mingling of man into God means man being built into God. In the original creation, heaven was heaven and earth was earth; God was God and man was man; these two sides had never met or been mingled together. But in God’s building, God will build Himself into man, and He will build man into Him. When these two are mingled and built together, they become a building in the universe, which can be called the home of the universe. This building, or this home, is constituted by the mingling of God and man, which is God’s home and man’s home; It is God being man’s dwelling place, and man being God’s dwelling place. In other words, It is a dwelling place where God and man live together.
All of God’s Work in Time Is to Gain Such a Dwelling Place
Although there is heaven and earth in the universe, God does not consider heaven as His dwelling place, nor does God consider the earth as man’s dwelling place. If God is not mingled with man in the universe and is always outside of man, then God is a God without a dwelling place, a homeless God. Similarly, if in the universe, man is not mingled with God and is always living outside of God, he will be a displaced and homeless person. Regardless of God or man, the real dwelling place in the universe is not heaven, nor earth, nor any house. It is God mingled into man, man mingled into God, and God and man mingled with each other to become one. This oneness is the great oneness of the universe, which is a spiritual building, a universal home. God’s building throughout the ages is to have such a dwelling place, such a home.
