to the Congregation of YAHWEH which is in Corinth, those having been sanctified in Messiah Yahshua, called out saints, with all those calling on the name of our Master Yahshua Messiah in every place, both theirs and ours:
And Jehovah God buildeth up the rib which He hath taken out of the man into a woman, and bringeth her in unto the man; 創世記2:22。アダムはYHWHの形に創造されたが(bara)、エバはそのあばら骨から建てられた(banah=build up)されたのだ。そしてエクレシアはキリストの肉の肉、骨の骨だ(エペソ5:30)
For we are members of His body, of His flesh, and of His bones. (HRB)
From the same as G104; properly an age; by extension perpetuity (also past); by implication the world; specifically (Jewish) a Messianic period (present or future): – age, course, eternal, (for) ever (-more), [n-]ever, (beginning of the, while the) world (began, without end). Compare G5550.
Vincentはこう解説している:
Lit. the ages. The world or worlds as the product of successive aeons.
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. (KJV)
For as many promises as are of YAHWEH, in Him they are yes, and in Him are Amen, for glory to YAHWEH through us. But He confirming us and anointing us with you in Messiah is YAHWEH, even He having sealed us, and having given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.(HRB)
For in Him the whole fullness of Deity (the Godhead) continues to dwell in bodily form [giving complete expression of the divine nature].And you[f] are in Him, made full and having come to fullness of life [in Christ you too are filled with the Godhead—Father, Son and Holy Spirit—and reach full spiritual stature]. And He is the Head of all rule and authority [of every angelic principality and power]. (Amplified)
ここの[f]の注としてVincentはこう説いている:
Rev., made full…. Not, ye are made full in Him, but ye are in Him, made full. In Him dwells the fullness; being in Him, ye are filled.
旧創造であるアダムは生きる魂(a living soul)となったが、最後のアダムにして、第二の人であるキリストは命を与える霊(a life-giving spirit)となられた。魂次元から霊の次元への跳躍である。もちろんキリストは肉体をもって復活し、今や天に上げられているが、同時に肉体に制限されない在り方を得たのである。ゆえに聖霊が来られるとき、キリスト・イエスご自身が私のうちで命となられる。
よってこの経綸に生きる間、世との接触は不可避であり、世の立場、世からの収入、世における資産なども必要なのだ。もちろん主は豊かに備えてくださることは言うまでもない。この意味で、この日本と言う国の在り方と行く末に大いなる憂いを覚えていることは否定できない。主がこの国と同胞を憐れんでくださるように! So be it!
