Prayer to be men on earth with God's heart

祷告使我们在我们的灵里,能成为在地上有神的心的人,就是能得着天向我们开启,以看见神关于世界定命之异象的人,使我们看见世界局势是神在地上行动的指标,且认识人类历史上一切的大事,都是神为着祂在地上的行动以主宰权柄安排并调配的。 (启四2,结一1,徒十七26~27,但二34~35,五30~31与30节注1。)

启四2—我立刻就在灵里;看哪,有一个宝座安置在天上,又有一位坐在宝座上。

结一1—第三十年四月初五日,我在迦巴鲁河边被掳的人中,那时诸天开了,我就看见神的异象。

徒十七26-27 - 祂从一本造出万族的人,住在全地面上,并且预先定准他们的时期,和居住的疆界, 要叫他们寻求神,或者可以揣摩而得,其实祂离我们各人不远;

但二34~35—你观看,见有一块非人手凿出来的石头,打在这像半铁半泥的脚上,把脚砸碎。于是铁、泥、铜、银、金,都一同砸得粉碎,成如夏天禾场上的糠秕,被风吹散,无处可寻。打碎这像的石头,变成一座大山,充满全地。

但 5:30~31当夜迦勒底王伯沙撒1被杀;玛代人大利乌,约六十二岁,取了迦勒底国。

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.
