6 2. Read Ephesians 2: How does this passage explain the typical relationship of Gentiles to God's covenants with Israel during the Old Testament days? What are some exceptions to this rule in the Old Testament? 阅读以弗所书 2:11-12 这个章节怎样解释了在旧约时期外邦人和上帝与以色列的约之间的典型关系? 在旧约时期对这个规则有一些什么例外? 3.

Read the visions of Amos 7:1-9. There Amos protested against God destroying all the people of Israel, but he did not object to the use of a plumb line which distinguished the righteous from the unrighteous in Israel. How do these visions illustrate the prophet's understanding of the visible covenant people and the invisible covenant people? 查考阿摩司书 7:1-9 的异象, 在这里, 阿摩司求告上帝不要毁坏所有的以色列民, 但他没有反对用准绳区别在以色列民中公义的和非公义的这些异象怎样表明了先知对有形的约中群体和无形的约中群体的理解? 5. Read Ezekiel 33: There Ezekiel declared how repentant Israelites would be redeemed from the judgment of God. How do his words illustrate the prophet's understanding of the visible covenant people and the invisible covenant people? 阅读以西结书 33:12-20, 以西结怎样在这里宣称悔改了的以色列民会从上帝的审判中蒙救赎? 他的话怎样说表明了先知对有形的约中群体和无形的约中群体的理解? 6. What practical difference does it make for us as we read the prophetic word with these distinctions in mind? 当我们读先知的预言时, 谨记这些分别, 会给我们带来什么样的实际变化?
