Lecture 1. Pt2. A DIVINE EVENT 神圣的事件(3)

You are told at the end of the Old Testament that "A son honors his father. If then I am a father, where is my honor?" In other words, where is my son? The New Testament begins by revealing the son, but man cannot understand. He does not know that Jesus is the Lord who is God the Father, until he has the experience of waking and rising in his skull. Of coming out of that skull and holding the Christ child, the sign of his resurrection, in his own hands. He must stand before the son of God and David must call him Father. And may I tell you: at that moment there will be no doubt in his mind as to who the son is and who he is relative to that boy. He will know he is David‘s father and David will know he is his son.

《旧约全书》的最后告诉你：“儿子尊敬父亲。我若为父，我的尊荣又在哪呢？换句话说，我儿子在哪？《新约》一开始就揭示了子，但人类无法理解。直到他在他从身骨中觉醒和复活的经验，他才会知道耶稣是主、是父神。他从骨头里走出来，手里抱着襁褓中的基督，就是他复活的记号。他必须站在神的儿子面前，大卫必须称他为父。我可以告诉你：在那一刻，他会毫不怀疑这儿子是谁，他与这个男孩的关系是什么。他会知道他是大卫的父亲，大卫也会知道自己是他的儿子。
In the Book of Samuel we read: "When you lie down with your fathers I will raise up after you your son, who will come forth from your body. I will be his father and he shall be my son." Now we jump to the Book of Revelation, where the Lord is speaking, saying: "I AM the root and the offspring of David." I AM the root, the cause which is the father. And I AM the offspring of my son, David; therefore I AM one with my grandson. All of the members of the human race are fused together into a single being called David. And what comes out of that? David‘s offspring. If David‘s root is the Lord, what comes out of David must be one with his root, so I AM the root and the offspring. I AM the grandfather and the grandson and David is my son. Man matures when he becomes his grandfather, for the grandfather is the Lord.
