2 (Phil. 2:5-11) is excellent (majestic) in all the earth according to the divine revelation, and the Lord's glory is over the heavens in the sight of David. C. The goal of this psalm is to join the earth to the heavens and bring the heavens down to the earth, making the earth and the heavens one John 1:51; Gen. 28:12. Day 2 IV. Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings the Lord has established strength (praise Matt. 21:16) because of His adversaries, to stop the enemy and the avenger Psa. 8:2: A. Babes and sucklings are the youngest, smallest, and weakest among men, indicating the highest consummation of the Lord's work in His redemption. B. The Lord has established praise out of the mouths of babes and sucklings because of His adversaries (within) and for the stopping of the enemy and the avenger (without). C. Satan is God's adversary within God's kingdom, God's enemy outside God's kingdom, and the avenger who roves to and fro over the earth cf. Job 1:7; 1 Pet. 5:8. Day 3 V. David saw the heavens, the works of the Lord's fingers, the moon and the stars, which the Lord has ordained Psa. 8:3: A. The moon and the stars indicate that David had this view a view turned from looking at the earth to contemplating the heavens in the night. B. In this view David had a pure vision to see the pure work in God's creation and ordination. C. The aim in the Lord's redemption is to turn us from the messy earth to the bright heaven. VI. What is mortal man, that the Lord remembers him, and the son 舉之耶穌的名 ( 腓二 5 ~ 11), 在全地是尊大 ( 威嚴 ) 的 ; 並且在大衛眼中, 主的榮耀是在天上 三 本篇詩的目標, 乃是將地聯於天, 將天帶到地, 使地與天成爲 約一 51, 創二八 12 週二 肆 主因敵人的緣故, 從嬰孩和吃奶的口中, 建立了能力 ( 讚美 太二一 16), 使仇敵和報仇的, 閉口無言 詩八 2: 一 嬰孩和吃奶的在人中間是最年幼 最微小 最軟弱的, 這指明主在祂救贖工作裏的最高成就 二 主因 ( 裏面 ) 敵人的緣故, 從嬰孩和吃奶的口中, 使讚美得以完全, 使 ( 外面 ) 仇敵和報仇的閉口無言 三 撒但在神的國裏是神的敵人 ( 即對頭 ), 在神國之外是神的仇敵, 他也是在地上來去往返報仇的人 參伯一 7, 彼前五 8 週三 伍 大衛觀看主指頭所造的天, 並主所陳設的月亮星宿 詩八 3: 一 月亮星宿指明大衛有這眼光 在夜間他將眼光從注視地轉而默想天 二 在這眼光裏, 大衛有純淨的異象, 看見神所創造和陳設的純淨工作 三 主救贖的目的是要將我們從紛亂的地轉向明亮的天 陸 人算什麽, 主竟顧念他? 世人算什麽, 主竟眷顧 2011 Summer Training - Message 3 Outline- Page 夏季訓練 - 第三篇綱目 - 第 2 頁

3 of man, that He visits him? v. 4: A. In his view in the heavens, David turned his consideration to man on the earth. B. Man is the central object of God in His creation for the accomplishment of His economy to fulfill His heart's desire. C. The first man in verse 4 is enosh in Hebrew, and the second man is adam in Hebrew, both referring to: 1. The God-created man in God's creation in Genesis 1: The Satan-captured man in man's fall in Psalm 8:4. 3. Christ as a man in His incarnation for the accomplishment of God's redemption in Hebrews 2:6. D. Such a man God remembers in His economy and visits in His incarnation John 1:14; Phil. 2:7. Day 4 VII. The Lord has made man a little lower than angels Psa. 8:5a; Heb. 2:7a: A. This refers to Christ's incarnation with His human living for His all-inclusive death John 1:14; Heb. 2:9a. B. In His incarnation Christ was made a little lower than angels, physically not positionally, in the sense of being in the flesh. VIII. God has crowned man (Christ) with glory and honor Psa. 8:5b; Heb. 2:7b: A. This refers to Christ's resurrection in His glory (John 7:39b; Luke 24:26) and His ascension in His honor (Acts 2:33-36; 5:31a). B. This was through His all-inclusive death Heb. 2:9. IX.

4 babes and sucklings are produced: A. In order to produce babes and sucklings, God has visited man v. 4: 1. God visited man by becoming incarnated, by putting on humanity and becoming a man to be a little lower than the angels v. 5a. 2. God visited man also by living on earth, dying, rising up from the dead, and ascending to the heavens to be crowned with glory and honor v. 5b. Day 5 3. God visited man through the long journey of His process to become the life-giving Spirit to reach us and to enter into us John 1:14; 1 Cor. 15:45b; 6:17; cf. 1 Pet. 2:12; Luke 1:68, The incarnated One has become the life-giving Spirit, and it is this One who produces babes and sucklings. B. We become babes and sucklings in the initial stage through regeneration: 1. We are remade, re-created, through regeneration cf. Matt. 18:3; 19: Regeneration reduces our natural activity. 3. The proper, genuine salvation stops our human doing and makes us babes and sucklings to praise the Lord. C. The process of producing babes and sucklings continues with sanctification, renewing, and transformation Heb. 2:11; Rom. 12:2; 2 Cor. 3:18. D. The Lord has perfected praise, or established strength, out of the mouths of babes and sucklings for the purpose of stopping His adversaries, the enemy, and the avenger Psa. 8:2: 1. God overcomes His enemy through babes and sucklings, the youngest, smallest, and weakest among men; this is the Lord's recovery and victory cf. 1 Cor. 1: All things will be ruled over by Christ with His Body, and all things will be subjected under His feet Psa. 8:6-8. 顯示, 嬰孩和吃奶的如何產生 : 一 神要産生嬰孩和吃奶的, 就眷顧了人 4 節 : 1 神眷顧人, 乃是藉着成爲肉體, 藉着穿上人性, 並且成了比天使微小一點的人 5 節上 2 神眷顧人也是藉着生活在地上, 受死, 從死人中復活, 並升到諸天之上, 得着榮耀尊貴爲冠冕 5 節下 週五 3 神眷顧人是藉着祂所經過的漫長過程, 成爲賜生命的靈臨到我們, 並進入我們裏面 約一 14, 林前十五 45 下, 六 17, 參彼前二 12, 路一 68,78 4 那成爲肉體的一位已成了賜生命的靈 ; 這一位能産生嬰孩和吃奶的 二 我們藉着重生成爲嬰孩和吃奶的, 是在起初的階段 : 1 我們藉着重生被重造, 再造 參太十八 3, 十九 14 2 重生減少了我們天然的活動 3 正確 真實的救恩停止我們人的作爲, 並使我們成爲讚美主的嬰孩和吃奶的 三 産生嬰孩和吃奶的過程, 繼續於聖別 有新和變化 來二 11, 羅十二 2, 林後三 18 四 主從嬰孩和吃奶的口中, 使讚美得以完全 ( 或建立了能力 ), 目的是要使敵人 仇敵和報仇的閉口無言 詩八 2: 1 神藉着嬰孩和吃奶的, 就是在人中間最年幼 最微小 最軟弱的, 勝過祂的仇敵 ; 這是主的恢復和得勝 參林前一 26 ~ 31 2 萬物要由基督同祂的身體所管理, 萬物也要服在祂的脚下 詩八 6 ~ Summer Training - Message 3 Outline- Page 夏季訓練 - 第三篇綱目 - 第 4 頁

5 3. The perfected praise of the babes and sucklings is the ultimate consummation of the Lord's work of incarnation, human living, death, resurrection, ascension, and coming back to rule on earth: a. We may praise the Lord, but our praise needs to be perfected; through transformation we are perfected in praising the Lord. b. The perfected praise is the praise for the Lord's incarnation, human living, death, resurrection, ascension, and kingdom. c. In order to praise the Lord, we need to see Jesus, turning our view from the messy earth to the bright heaven Heb. 2:9; 12:1-2. d. The perfected praise is the strength out of the mouths of babes and sucklings, the praise that defeats the adversaries, the enemy, and the avenger 2 Chron. 20:22; cf. vv. 12, Through Him then let us offer up a sacrifice of praise continually to God, that is, the fruit of lips confessing His name Heb. 13:15. Day 6 X. God has caused man (Christ) to rule over the works of God's hands and has put all things under His feet: all sheep and oxen, the beasts of the field, the birds of heaven, the fish of the sea, and whatever passes through the paths of the seas Psa. 8:6-8; Heb. 2:7b-8a: A. This word was fulfilled in Adam (Gen. 1:26-28), but it was broken by man's fall. B. In Christ's ascension God subjected all things under Christ's feet and gave Him to be Head over all things to the church, which is His Body Eph. 1:22-23; Rom. 16:20: 1. In the Body life we participate in the transmission of Christ's subjecting power to put all things under the feet of His Body. 2. The God of peace crushes Satan under the feet of those who live the church life as the practical expression of the Body v 嬰孩和吃奶的這樣完全的讚美, 乃是主成爲肉體 人性生活 受死 復活 升天並再來管治這地之工作的終極完成 : a 我們也許讚美主, 但我們的讚美需要得以完全 ; 藉着變化, 我們在讚美主上得以完全 b 得以完全的讚美, 乃是爲着主的成爲肉體 人性生活 死 復活 升天並國度, 而讚美祂 c 我們要讚美主, 就需要看見耶穌, 將我們的眼光從紛亂的地轉向明亮的天 來二 9, 十二 1 ~ 2 d 得以完全的讚美, 乃是出自嬰孩和吃奶的口中的能力, 這讚美使敵人 仇敵和報仇的都被擊敗 代下二十 22, 參 12,20 ~ 21 4 所以我們應當藉着耶穌, 常常向神獻上讚美的祭, 這就是承認主名之嘴唇的果子 來十三 15 週六 拾 神派人 ( 基督 ) 管理神手所造的, 使萬物, 就是一切的牛羊, 田野的獸, 空中的鳥, 海裏的魚, 凡經行海道的, 都服在祂的脚下 詩八 6 ~ 8, 來二 7 下 ~ 8 上 : 一 這話先應驗在亞當身上 ( 創一 26 ~ 28), 但由於人的墮落而受了破壞 二 在基督的升天裏, 神將萬有服在基督的脚下, 並使祂向着召會作萬有的頭 ; 召會是祂的身體 弗一 22 ~ 23, 羅十六 20: 1 在身體生活裏, 我們有分於基督歸服大能的輸供, 將萬有服在祂身體的脚下 2 平安的神將撒但踐踏在過召會生活的人脚下 ; 召會生活乃是身體實際的出現 20 節 2011 Summer Training - Message 3 Outline- Page 夏季訓練 - 第三篇綱目 - 第 5 頁

7 2011 Summer Training Crystallization-Study of The Psalms (1) Message Three (Day 1) The Excellency of Christ Morning Nourishment Heb. 2:6-9 "... What is man, that You bring him to mind? Or the son of man, that You care for him? You have made Him a little inferior to the angels; You have crowned Him with glory and honor and have set Him over the works of Your hands; You have subjected all things under His feet....but now we do not yet see all things subjected to Him, but we see Jesus, who was made a little inferior to the angels because of the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor..." Hebrews 2 discloses that the man mentioned in Psalm 8 is Christ. God made Christ a little lower than the angels this was the incarnation, and He was a man by the name of Jesus. After the incarnation this man was crowned with glory and honor in His ascension, including His resurrection. Christ was crowned with glory and honor because He resurrected and ascended to the heavens. Therefore, the ascension includes the resurrection. Then it says that all things were put under His feet. This is His dominion over all things. Now Christ has the dominion, the lordship, the headship, and the kingdom. Just this little word feet indicates His Body. He has a Body. Ephesians 1:22 and 23 say that God subjected all things under His feet and gave Him to be Head over all things to the church, which is His Body. The two feet are parts of the Body. Hence, we have the incarnation, the resurrection, the ascension, the enthronement, the lordship, the kingship, the kingdom, and the Body of Christ. The Body is the many saints who will be brought into glory according to Hebrews 2. The day will come when He will be the Head in God's dominion, and we will be the Body under His lordship and in His kingdom to rule over the whole earth. In that day we will all shout, O Jehovah our Lord, how excellent is Your name in all the earth! Today we must have foresight to see through to the end. We must not care for today's situation; we must set our eyes upon that day. Sooner or later that day will come. Sooner or later all these pitiful situations will be past. 二 一一年夏季訓練詩篇結晶讀經 ( 一 ) 第三篇 ( 週一 ) 基督的尊大 晨興餧養 來二 6~9 人算什麼, 你竟顧念他? 世人算什麼, 你竟眷顧他? 你使祂比天使微小一點, 賜祂榮耀尊貴為冠冕, 並派祂管理你手所造的, 叫萬有都服在祂的腳下 只是如今我們還不見萬有都服祂, 唯獨看見耶穌得了榮耀尊貴為冠冕 希伯來二章揭示, 詩篇第八篇所說的人就是基督 神使基督比天使微小一點, 這就是成為肉體, 這就是名叫耶穌的那人 成為肉體之後, 詩篇說這人得着榮耀尊貴為冠冕 這是祂的升天, 包含祂的復活在內 基督得着榮耀尊貴為冠冕, 因祂復活了, 並且升到諸天之上 因此這裏的升天, 包含復活 然後說, 叫萬物都服在祂的腳下 這是祂的管理萬有 如今基督掌權, 作主, 作元首, 並得着了國度 這小小的 腳 字更指明了祂的身體 祂有一個身體 以弗所一章二十二至二十三節說, 神 將萬有服在祂的腳下, 並使祂向着召會作萬有的頭 ; 召會是祂的身體 兩隻腳是身體的一部分 因此這裏有成為肉體 復活 升天 登寶座 主權 王權 國度和基督的身體 按希伯來二章, 這身體就是要被帶進榮耀裏的許多聖徒 日子將到, 祂在神的掌權中要作元首, 我們要在祂的主權下並在祂的國度裏, 作祂的身體管理全地 那一天我們都要呼喊 : 耶和華我們的主啊, 你的名在全地何其尊大 今天我們必須有遠見, 看透未來的結局 我們不必在意今天的情況, 我們必須注視那日 遲早那日要來到, 遲早這些可憐的光景 2011 Summer Training - Message 3 - Page 夏季訓練 - 第三篇 - 第 7 頁

8 Praise the Lord! (Christ and the Church Revealed and Typified in the Psalms, pp ) Today's Reading Psalm 2 tells us that Christ is the center of God's administration in the entire universe. Then Psalm 8 continues by telling us that this Christ is the incarnated and resurrected One, the One who has ascended to the heavens and is enthroned and crowned with glory and honor. He has the lordship, the headship, the kingship, and the dominion over all things with His Body. He is a marvelous Christ! If we have seen this Christ, we can do nothing but praise Him. In Psalms 3 through 7 the writers were occupied with the adversaries and their own problems, so they asked God to solve these problems. But the answer is in Psalm 8. It is by Christ incarnated, identified with man, crowned with glory, and made, with His Body, to have dominion over all things, that the problem on earth can be solved. The solution includes the incarnation up to the time of the kingdom; then when the kingdom comes, Christ with His Body will have dominion over all things. At that time all earth's problems will be solved. This is the content of Psalm 8. Why is the name of the Lord so excellent in all the earth? Because Christ was incarnated to accomplish redemption, He was resurrected to impart life to His Body, He was crowned with glory, and He was enthroned and made to have dominion over all things with His Body. The day will come when Christ with His Body will exercise His authority. The human race has done its utmost to solve its problems, but the more problems they solve, the more they have. The fact is that no one can solve the problems. You just wait praisingly. Hallelujah, Christ will come back! He has been made the Head over all things to the church. With His Body He will have the dominion over all. At that time, everything will be solved.

9 2011 Summer Training Crystallization-Study of The Psalms (1) Message Three (Day 2) The Excellency of Christ Morning Nourishment Psa. 8:2 "Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings You have established strength because of Your adversaries, to stop the enemy and the avenger." Matt. 21:16 "...And Jesus said to them, Yes. Have you never read, Out of the mouth of infants and sucklings You have perfected praise?" Psalm 8:2 shows us three negative categories of persons: the adversaries, the enemy, and the avenger...in this universe, there are still many adversaries, enemies, and avengers. Adversaries are those who are within, enemies are those who are without, and the avengers are those who run back and forth (cf. Job 1:7). Satan can be signified by these three categories. First, Satan was within God's kingdom. Then Satan became an enemy without, outside the kingdom of God. He is also the avenger, running back and forth...in between the heavens and the earth, there are the adversaries within, the enemy without, and the avenger running back and forth. What would God do about this? God does something in a consummate way. He establishes His praises out of the mouths of babes and sucklings, the youngest, smallest, and weakest ones. Babes are a little stronger than sucklings, and sucklings are somewhat smaller than the babes, but both of them are in the category of the smallest and weakest. (Life-study of the Psalms, p. 54) Today's Reading [ D o ] w e c o n s i d e r o u r s e l v e s a s b a b e s a n d sucklings?...the Lord Jesus told people, Truly I say to you, Unless you turn and become like little children, you shall by no means enter into the kingdom of the heavens (Matt. 18:3). He also said, Allow the little children and do not prevent them from coming to Me, for of such is the kingdom of the heavens (19:14). The Lord stressed that to participate in the kingdom of the heavens, we must be like little children.

10 who are in the kingdom of the heavens are as babes. A brother may be over sixty years old, but in God's kingdom, he is a suckling. Psalm 8:2 says that the Lord has established strength out of the mouths of babes and sucklings. Seemingly, strength does not refer to something that comes out of the mouth. When the Lord quoted this verse in Matthew 21:16, He used the word praise instead of strength. Weaker ones in themselves cannot praise. To cry or weep does not require strength, but to praise requires strength. When we gossip, argue, or reason with people, that does not require strength. But without strength, we cannot praise the Lord. Some praises may come out of our mouth, but they cannot be considered as perfected praises, because they are not so full of strength. Praises should be full of strength. Many times when the saints are praising the Lord, we can see the strength. To praise is to have the strength in our mouth. God can work in His redemption to such an extent that the weakest ones and the smallest ones can have the strength to praise Him. God has established this. The Hebrew word for established is a hard word to translate. In the Lord's quotation in Matthew 21:16, it says that He has perfected praise out of the mouths of the babes and sucklings. Psalm 8 says that He established strength out of the mouths of babes and sucklings, but the Lord Jesus quoted it by saying that He perfected praise. Is our praise perfect? We have to admit that our praise is altogether imperfect. Psalm 8 is not a long psalm, but it is a completed, perfected, and perfect psalm. If we are short of strength, we cannot praise. If we do not have the extra strength, we cannot have a completed, perfected, and perfect praise. On earth the Lord's name is excellent; above the heavens is the Lord's splendor, His glory. In between there are the adversaries, the enemy, and the avenger, who are stopped by the praise of strength that comes out of the mouths of the smallest ones and the weakest ones. This is God's marvelous consummation. The highest consummation of the Lord's work in His redemption is to perfect the praise to Him out of the mouths of the smallest and the weakest.

Gen. 1:26 "And God said, Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of heaven and over the cattle and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth." David saw the heavens, the works of the Lord's fingers, the moon and the stars, which the Lord has ordained (Psa. 8:3). This indicates that David had a view turned from looking at the earth to contemplating the heavens, in the night. In the night, if you look at the earth, you will see nothing because of the darkness. But if you look up to contemplate the heavens, you will see the moon and the stars. In this view David had a pure vision to see the pure work in God's creation and ordination. In the universe there is not only God's creation but also God's ordination. David saw the divine order in the universe. This is the aim in the Lord's redemption to turn us from the messy earth to the bright heaven. Before we were saved, we were in a messy situation. But after we were saved...our view was turned from looking at this messy earth to looking at the bright heaven. When bad news comes to me, I have to exercise to turn my view to look at the bright heaven. When I turn my view from the bad news and look up to the heavens, I can praise. We must learn to turn our view. The aim in the Lord's redemption is to turn our view from the earth to the heavens.

12 of the moon and the stars is marvelous. Then how about man on this earth? We should not forget that the psalmist in this psalm is trying the best to bring the heavens down and to bring the earth up to join with the heavens. He looked at the heavens with the moon and the stars. That is wonderful, but what about man? We may think that man is pitiful, but according to the divine view in this psalm, we are wrong. Man was pitiful in Adam and in the fallen situation, but today man in Christ is not pitiful. The man in Christ is wonderful. Three portions of the Word speak of the same thing concerning man Genesis 1, Psalm 8, and Hebrews 2. What is revealed in Psalm 8 was first spoken of in Genesis 1. Genesis 1 says that man was commissioned with the authority to rule over all the created things (vv. 26, 28). Psalm 8 repeats this. Then in Hebrews 2:6-8 Paul quotes Psalm 8. These three portions of the Word show us that man has been in three stages: created in Genesis 1, fallen in Psalm 8, and redeemed in Hebrews 2. This redeemed man is no longer in a pitiful situation. He is joined to Jesus. Actually, Jesus, the incarnated God, first joined Himself with us. Now in His redemption we are joined to Him. There is an organic union between Him and us. Christ has passed through human living, and He died to solve our problems. Then He resurrected and ascended to be crowned and enthroned with glory and honor. He was breathed into us and poured out upon us. Today He is both in the heavens and also within us and outside of us...we are men who have been mingled with Christ. Man is the central object of God in His creation for the accomplishment of His economy to fulfill His heart's desire...we should not forget Genesis 1, Psalm 8, and Hebrews 2. These three portions cover the three stages of man. Such a man God remembers in His economy and visits in His incarnation (John 1:14; Phil. 2:7). Thank God for His remembrance, and thank God for His incarnation. He remembered us in His economy, and He visited us in His incarnation.

13 2011 Summer Training Crystallization-Study of The Psalms (1) Message Three (Day 4) The Excellency of Christ Morning Nourishment Psa. 8:5-8 "You have made Him a little lower than angels and have crowned Him with glory and honor. For You have caused Him to rule over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under His feet: all sheep and oxen, as well as the beasts of the field, the birds of heaven and the fish of the sea, whatever passes through the paths of the seas." Psalm 8:5 says, You have made Him a little lower than angels / And have crowned Him with glory and honor....who is Him in this verse? Him actually refers to the man Jesus. God has made the man Jesus a little lower than the angels...(psa. 8:5a; Heb. 2:7a). This refers to Christ's incarnation (John 1:14). In His incarnation Christ was made a little lower than angels in the sense of being in the flesh. In the flesh Christ was lower than the angels. (Lifestudy of the Psalms, pp. 58, 63) Today's Reading After His human living, He was resurrected, and in His resurrection, He was glorified. Then He ascended to the heavens, and in His ascension, He was honored. Crowned...with glory and honor indicates or implies two steps: Christ's resurrection and His ascension. Before His resurrection and ascension, there was the death of Christ. If there is no death, there is no resurrection, and if there is no resurrection, there is no ascension. Furthermore, without His incarnation and human living, He was not qualified to die. He had to become a man and live for thirty-three and a half years. Thus, in Psalm 8:5 we can see all the steps of the Triune God's process: incarnation, human living for thirty-three and a half years, death, resurrection, and ascension. God has crowned man (Christ) with glory and honor (Psa. 8:5b; Heb. 2:7b). This refers to Christ's resurrection in His glory.

14 resurrection (John 7:39b; Luke 24:26). This also refers to Christ's ascension in His honor (Acts 2:33-36; 5:31a). Christ's resurrection is mainly in His glory, and His ascension is mainly in His honor. Glory refers to the condition. Honor refers to the position. Condition-wise, Christ is in glory. Position-wise, Christ is in honor. He has both glory in condition and honor in position. This was through His all-inclusive death (Heb. 2:9). Without death He could have never entered into resurrection, and He could have never reached His ascension. Psalm 8 has nine verses. Verse 1 and verses 6-9 are somewhat easy to understand. Verses 2-5, however, are very puzzling and not easy to understand. Why did the psalmist, after talking about the earth with the excellency of Jehovah's name and the heavens with the glory, turn to the babes and sucklings? We need to see that verses 2-5 show us how the babes and sucklings are produced. Psalm 8 is all-inclusive. It talks about the earth, the heavens, man, and the coming kingdom. But in addition to the earth, the heavens, man, and the coming kingdom, there are the adversaries, the enemy, and the avenger. Verse 2 says that because of the Lord's adversaries, He has established strength, or perfected praise. The Lord has established strength or perfected praise out of the mouths of babes and sucklings for the purpose of stopping His adversaries, the enemy, and the avenger. In this way God kills three birds with one stone. Because of the adversaries, the enemy, and the avenger, God makes the babes and sucklings to praise Him in a complete way. Now we need to consider who the babes and sucklings are. The sucklings are even younger than the babes, the infants, because they are still feeding on their mother's milk. They are the youngest. The little babes and sucklings do not do anything. But after growing up, they do many things. To stop a person from doing things is nearly impossible, because all human beings are doers. The whole earth is filled with man's doings. Who can stop this? Only the Lord can. No unregenerated man is a babe or a suckling. We become babes and sucklings by regeneration.

15 2011 Summer Training Crystallization-Study of The Psalms (1) Message Three (Day 5) The Excellency of Christ Morning Nourishment 1 Cor. 1:28-30 "...The lowborn things of the world and the despised things God has chosen, things which are not, that He might bring to nought the things which are, so that no flesh may boast before God. But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became wisdom to us from God: both righteousness and sanctification and redemption." We...have to realize that for the Lord to regenerate us, He had to undergo a number of procedures, or processes. He had to become a man, to live on this earth, to die, to enter into Hades for three days and three nights, and He had to rise up to become the life-giving Spirit. As the Spirit, He comes into us to regenerate us. Thus, regeneration comes out of all the procedures of the Lord. He was also crowned with glory and honor (Psa. 8:5b). Glory refers to His resurrection, implying His death. Without death He could not have entered into resurrection. To be crowned with glory is to be glorified. To be crowned with honor implies the ascension. Therefore in one verse, verse 5, we see Christ's incarnation, His all-inclusive death implied, His resurrection for His glorification, and His ascension for Him to be honored. (Life-study of the Psalms, pp ) Today's Reading God visited man through the long journey of His process to become the life-giving Spirit to reach us and to enter into us...the incarnated One is now the lifegiving Spirit. It is this One that can produce the babes and the sucklings. The babes and sucklings are produced through regeneration in the initial stage. Then they continue to be produced in full through their sanctification, renewing, and transformation. Through transformation they are perfected in praising the Lord. This is the Lord's recovery and the Lord's victory. God overcomes His enemy through these babes and sucklings.

16 produce active ones; they endeavor to produce giants. Our work is to produce babes and sucklings. Psalm 8:6-8 says, You have caused Him to rule over the works of Your hands; / You have put all things under His feet: / All sheep and oxen, / As well as the beasts of the field, / The birds of heaven and the fish of the sea, / Whatever passes through the paths of the seas. These verses refer to the kingdom. All things will be ruled over by Christ with His Body, and all things will be subjected under His feet. This really perfects the praise, completes the praise, in this psalm. This short psalm reveals so much. It speaks of the heavens, the earth, babes and sucklings, man, three categories of enemies, and the Lord's incarnation, human living, death, resurrection, ascension, coming back, and kingdom. We Christians may praise the Lord, but our praise needs to be perfected. We need to praise Him for His splendor above the heavens and His excellency on earth. Then we can praise Him for His incarnation for Him to come to visit us. Then we should go on to praise Him for His human living, for His death, for His resurrection, for His ascension, and for His kingdom. We have to praise Him with all these matters. Then our praises will be perfected, completed. This praise is the strength out of the mouths of babes and sucklings. Such perfected praise is the ultimate consummation of the Lord's work of incarnation, human living, death, resurrection, ascension, and coming back to rule on this earth. When we come to the Lord's table, we stop every kind of human speaking and human doing. We stop our work. We are here at the table to do only one thing to praise Him. In order to praise, we must stop our work. Thus, at the Lord's table, we all are the real babes and sucklings. While we are here being stopped from all of our doings to praise the Lord, the adversaries, the enemy, and the avenger are all defeated. This is a shame to God's enemy. We need to remain in the condition and spirit of the Lord's table. Our Christian life should be like the Lord's table. When we go home after the Lord's table, we should continue to praise the Lord. We have to learn not to do too much...[but] we should not be lazy. The point is that we should stop our human doings and be those who simply praise the Lord.

Matt. 6:9-10 "You then pray in this way: Our Father who is in the heavens, Your name be sanctified; Your kingdom come; Your will be done, as in heaven, so also on earth." God has caused man (Christ) to rule over the works of God's hands and has put all things under His feet...(psa. 8:6-8; Heb. 2:7b-8a). This word was fulfilled first in Adam (Gen. 1:26-28). But this word was broken by man's fall. Today nothing is subject to us. Even the mosquitoes still come to defeat us. Nothing today is under us because the order has been fully destroyed by man's fall. But there will be a time, the time of restoration, when everything will be in a good order. This word will be fulfilled in full in Christ in the millennium, the age of restoration (Rev. 20:4-6; Matt. 19:28). Isaiah 11:6-9 and 65:25 speak of the wonderful divine order in the time of restoration. This is because of Christ's redemption. (Life-study of the Psalms, p. 64) Today's Reading Psalm 8 is a short psalm, but it comprises and implies Christ's incarnation, human living, death, resurrection, ascension, and His being crowned to be the Lord and Christ and the King of kings, the unique Ruler of the entire universe. The day will come when He will be in the kingdom for a thousand years to rule over all the creatures. This is the revelation in Psalm 8. The last verse of this psalm repeats the first part of the first verse by saying, O Jehovah our Lord, / How excellent is Your name / In all the earth!

18 Jehovah our Lord, / How excellent is Your name / In all the earth! This strengthens the thought concerning the excellency of the Lord's name in all the earth. The earth now is full of the excellency of Christ. Now the earth is not a messy earth but an excellent earth because the excellency of the name of Christ fills all the earth. In this verse the psalmist considers that the earth is as excellent as the heavens, as indicated in the first part of the Lord's prayer: Our Father who is in the heavens, Your name be sanctified; Your kingdom come; Your will be done, as in heaven, so also on earth (Matt. 6:9-10). I would like to repeat the goal of this psalm once more. The goal is to join the earth to the heavens and to bring down the heavens to the earth, making these two one. If we are victorious and overcoming every day, this is our reality. Today with us, the earth is joined to the heavens, the heavens are brought down to the earth, and the two are one. But with the unbelieving ones and with the defeated Christians, the heavens are far away and the earth is dark and messy. This is why the unbelievers need all kinds of worldly amusements and sinful pleasures. But we do not need them. We need only Christ and the church life. When we live Christ and live in the church life, the heavens and the earth are one. With us, our earth is really joined to the heavens. With us, the heavens are always here. Here on earth we have the excellent name of Jesus. On this earth today the only excellency is with the name of Christ. Hallelujah! There is such a name! We have this precious name on earth, and we also have our splendor, our glory, above the heavens. Eventually, with us, the earth and the heavens will be one in a complete way. In the coming age, in the millennium, in the age of restoration, the heaven is down and the earth is up. There we will enjoy God's salvation to the uttermost. In the millennium all of us will be babes and sucklings. There will be no older ones, no fatigued ones. Everyone will be fresh, young, living, and full of strength. Today many Christians like power, but the Bible in Psalm 8 speaks of strength. We need to be full of strength to praise the Lord, to express God's consummated work in His redemption.
