Prayer to be men on earth with God's heart

禱告使我們在我們的靈裏,能成為在地上有神的心的人,就是能得着天向我們開啟,以看見神關於世界定命之異象的人,使我們看見世界局勢是神在地上行動的指標,且認識人類歷史上一切的大事,都是神為着祂在地上的行動以主宰權柄安排並調配的。(啟四2,結一1,徒十七26~27,但二34~35,五30~31與30節註1。)

啓四2—我立刻就在靈裏;看哪,有一個寶座安置在天上,又有一位坐在寶座上。

結一1—第三十年四月初五日,我在迦巴魯河邊被擄的人中,那時諸天開了,我就看見神的異象。

徒十七26-27 - 祂從一本造出萬族的人,住在全地面上,並且豫先定準他們的時期,和居住的疆界,要叫他們尋求神,或者可以揣摩而得,其實祂離我們各人不遠;

但二34~35—你觀看,見有一塊非人手鑿出來的石頭,打在這像半鐵半泥的腳上,把腳砸碎。於是鐵、泥、銅、銀、金,都一同砸得粉碎,成如夏天禾場上的糠秕,被風吹散,無處可尋。打碎這像的石頭,變成一座大山,充滿全地。

但 5:30~31當夜迦勒底王伯沙撒1被殺;瑪代人大利烏,約六十二歲,取了迦勒底國。

Footnote 5:301—This ended the Babylonian Empire. God used the Babylonian Empire for the purpose of carrying His corrupted and defeated elect into captivity. Near the end of the seventy years of their captivity, God caused the Medes and the Persians to become one for the purpose of ending the Babylonian Empire and releasing His people from their captivity in Babylon (Ezra 1:1-4). This is an illustration of how all kings and kingdoms are under God’s administration. See note 261 in chapter 4.
