L41.⑷主被称为“主”和“神”。这一点从许多经文明显可知,它们若被引用,必占用大量篇幅;引用这几处就足够了,约翰福音:
当多马按主的吩咐看祂的手,探祂的肋时,他说,我的主,我的神。(约翰福音20:27,28)
诗篇:
他们也追念神是他们的磐石,至高的神是他们的救赎主。(诗篇78:35)
以赛亚书:
万军之耶和华是祂的名,救赎你的是以色列的圣者,祂必称为全地之神。(以赛亚书54:5)
这一点从以下事实也明显看出来:他们敬拜祂,伏面在祂面前(马太福音9:18;14:33;15:25;28:9;马可福音1:40;5:22;7:25;10:17;路加福音17:15,16;约翰福音9:38)。诗篇:
我们听说约柜在以法他,我们在基列耶琳就寻见了。
我们听说祂在以法他。我们要进祂的居所,在祂脚凳前下拜。(诗篇132:6,7)
主同样在天上受到敬拜,如我们在启示录读到:
我在灵里,见有一个宝座安置在天上,又有一位坐在宝座上,好像碧玉和红宝石;又有虹围着宝座,好像绿宝石。那二十四位长老就俯伏在坐宝座的面前,敬拜那活到世世代代的,又把他们的冠冕放在宝座前。(启示录4:2,3,10)
又:
我看见坐宝座的右手中有书卷,里外都写着字,用七印封严了。没有人能展开那书卷。长老中有一位对我说,看哪,犹大支派中的狮子,大卫的根,他已得胜,能展开那书卷,揭开那七印。我又观看,在宝座中间有羔羊站立,祂前来,拿了书卷。他们就俯伏在羔羊面前,敬拜那活到世世代代的。(启示录5:1,3,5-8,14)
41. We can see that the Lord is called Lord and God from many passages, so many that to cite them all would fill pages. These few may suffice. In John:
When Thomas at the Lord’s bidding looked at his hands and touched his side, he said, “My Lord and my God.” (John 20:27-28)
In David,
They remembered that God was their Rock, and God on High their Redeemer. (Psalms 78:35)
And in Isaiah,
Jehovah Sabaoth is his name, and your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. He will be called the God of the whole earth. (Isaiah 54:5)
We can see this also from the fact that they worshiped him and fell on their faces before him-Matthew 9:18; 14:33; 15:25; 28:9; Mark 1:40; 5:22; 7:25; 10:17; Luke 17:15-16; John 9:38. And in David,
We heard of him in Ephrata; let us enter his dwelling and bow down at the stool for his feet. (Psalms 132:6-7)
It is much the same in heaven, as described in the Book of Revelation:
I was in the spirit; and behold, a throne set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. He was like a jasper and a sardius stone, and there was a rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald. And the twenty-four elders fell down before the one who sits on the throne and worshiped the one who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne. (Revelation 4:2-3, 10)
And again,
I saw in the right hand of the one who sat on the throne a scroll, written inside and on the back, sealed with seven seals. And no one was able to open the scroll. Then one of the elders said, “Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals.” And I saw in the midst of the throne a Lamb standing. He came and took the scroll, and [the twenty-four elders] fell down before the Lamb and worshiped the one who lives forever and ever. (Revelation 5:1, 3, 5-8, 14)
41. The Lord is called Lord and God. This is apparent from so many passages that if I were to cite them, they would fill pages. Let the following few passages suffice:
In John, when the Lord told Thomas to look at His hands and touch His side, Thomas said, “My Lord and my God!” (John 20:27-28)
In Psalms:
They remembered that God was their rock, and the Most High God their Redeemer. (Psalms 78:35)
And in Isaiah:
...Jehovah of Hosts is His name, and your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel. God of the whole earth shall He be called. (Isaiah 54:5)
The same is also apparent from the fact that people worshiped Him and fell on their faces before Him (Matthew 9:18, 14:33, 15:25, 28:9; Mark 1:40, 5:22, 7:25, 10:17; Luke 17:15-16; John 9:38).
Moreover in Psalms:
...we heard of it in Ephrathah.... Let us go into His dwelling place (and) bow ourselves at His footstool. (Psalms 132:6-7)
So, too, in heaven, as depicted in the book of Revelation:
...I was in the spirit; and behold, a throne set in heaven, and One sitting on the throne...like a jasper and a sardius stone...; and there was a rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald.... (And) the twenty-four elders fell down before Him who sat on the throne and worshiped Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne.... (Revelation 4:2-3, 10)
And in another place:
I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a book written inside and on the back, sealed with seven seals.... And no one...was able to open...it. Then one of the elders said..., “...Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the book and to loose its seven seals.” And I (saw) in the midst of the throne...a Lamb standing.... He came and took the book.... (And they) fell down before the Lamb..., and worshiped Him who lives forever and ever. (Revelation 5:1, 3, 5-8, 14)
41. 4. THE LORD IS CALLED LORD, AND GOD. This is evident from so many passages that, if they were quoted, they would fill pages; let these few suffice:
In John:
When Thomas at the command of the Lord had beheld His hands and had touched His side, he said, My Lord and my God. John 20:27-28.
In the Psalms:
They remembered that God was their Rock, and the High God their Redeemer. Psalm 78:35.
And in Isaiah:
Jehovah Zebaoth is His name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; the God of the whole earth shall He be called. Isaiah 54:5.
This also appears from their worshipping Him and falling down on their faces before Him. Matthew 9:18; 14:33; 15:25; 28:9; Mark 1:40; 5:22; 7:25; 10:17; Luke 17:15-16; John 9:38; And in the Psalms:
We have heard of Him at Ephratah ...
We will go into His tabernacles; we will worship at His footstool. Psalm 132:6-7.
The Lord is similarly worshipped in heaven, as we read in Revelation:
I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and One sat on the throne.
... Like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.
The four and twenty elders fell down before Him that sat on the throne, and worshipped Him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne. Revelation 4:2-3, 10 And again:
I saw in the right hand of Him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals.
And no man ... was able to open the book ...
Then one of the elders said... . behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
And I beheld and lo, in the midst of the throne stood a Lamb ...
And He came and took the book ...
And the elders fell down before the Lamb, and worshipped Him that liveth for ever and ever. Revelation 5:1, 3, 5-8, 14.
41. iv. That the Lord is called "Lord" and "God," is evident from so many passages that if quoted they would fill pages. Let these few suffice:
When by the Lord's command Thomas had seen His hands and touched His side, he said, My Lord and my God (John 20:27, 28).
They remembered that God was their Rock, and the High God their Redeemer (Psalm 78:35).
Jehovah of Armies is His name, and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel, the God of the whole earth shall He be called (Isaiah 54:5).
The same is evident from the fact that they adored Him, and fell upon their faces before Him (Matthew 9:18; 14:33; 15:25; 28:9; Mark 1:40; 5:22; 7:25; 10:17; Luke 17:15, 16; John 9:38).
So in David:
We heard of Him at Ephratah; we will enter into His dwelling places, and will bow ourselves at His footstool (Psalm 132:6, 7).
And it is the same in heaven:
I was in the spirit, and behold a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne like a jasper and sardine stone, and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. And the four and twenty elders fell down before Him that sat on the throne, and adored Him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne (Revelation 4:2, 3, 10).
I saw in the right hand of Him that sat upon the throne a look sealed within and on the back side, sealed with seven seals, and no one was able to open the book. Then one of the elders said, Behold the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof and I beheld in the midst of the throne a Lamb standing, and He came and took the book, and they fell down before the Lamb, and worshiped Him that liveth for ever and ever ((Revelation) 5:1, 3, 5-8, 14).
41. ((iv.)) Quod Dominus dicatur Dominus et Deus, patet a tam multis locis, ut, si afferentur, paginas implerent. Haec pauca sufficiant. Apud Johannem,
Quando Thomas ex mandato Domini vidit manus Ipsius, et tetigit latus Ipsius, dixit, "Domine mi et Deus mi" (20:27-28).
Apud Davidem,
"Recordati sunt quod Deus esset Petra eorum, et Deus excelsus Redemptor eorum" (Psalm 78:35).
Et apud Esaiam,
"Jehovah Zebaoth nomen Ipsius, et Redemptor tuus Sanctus Israelis; Deus totius terrae vocabitur" (54:5).
Hoc quoque patet ex eo, quod adoraverint Ipsum, et ceciderint super facies suas coram Ipso
(Matthaeum 9:18 1; 14:33; 15:25; 28:9; Marcum 1:40; 5:22; 7:25; cap. 17 2[NCBSP: 10:17]; Lucam 17:15-16; Johannes 9:38 3).
Et apud Davidem,
"Audivimus de Illo in Ephrata;... intremus in habitacula Illius, et incurvemus nos scabello pedum Illius" (Psalm 132:6-7).
Similiter in caelo, de quo in Apocalypsi,
"Fui... in spiritu, et ecce thronus positus in caelo, et super throno sedens,... similis lapidi jaspidi et sardino, et iris circa thronum similis aspectu smaragdino... Et ceciderunt viginti et quatuor seniores ante sedentem super throno, et adorabant viventem in saecula saeculorum, et projecerunt coronas suas ante thronum" (4:2-3, 10).
Et alibi,
"Vidi in dextra sedentis super throno librum scriptum intus et a tergo, obsignatum septem sigillis," et nemo potuit illum aperire. "Tunc dixit unus ex senioribus, Ecce vicit Leo, qui est ex tribu Jehudae, radix Davidis, ut aperiat librum, et solvat septem sigilla ejus: et vidi... in medio throni..., Agnus stans;... hic venit et sumpsit librum et ceciderunt coram Agno et adorarunt viventem in saecula saeculorum" (5:1, (3,) 5-7, (8,) 14).
