第七天：2011年10月4日(Tishrei 6, 5772)
「上到這裡來」 請讀啟示錄第四章
琳達．海得勒是上帝話語上的忠心門徒，這裡是她未來一百天的教導，請享受今天的訊息！～恰克．皮爾斯
過去幾個月，神一直重複說的話，其中之一是「上到這裡來」，神一直在呼召我們來到一種新境界——權柄、異象、眼光、身份及其他許多方面。
在啟示錄4:1中，使徒約翰領受到一個類似的命令：「……你上到這裡來，我要將以後必成的事指示你。」約翰所「看見」天堂與地上之間交互作用的事，是根據上帝是誰的啟示，以及從這啟示所產生的敬拜。
關於上帝的第一個啟示就是，上帝是造物者，並有一首敬拜的詩歌唱著：「我們的主，我們的神，祢是配得榮耀、尊貴、權柄的；因為祢創造了萬物，並且萬物是因祢的旨意被創造而有的。」約翰立刻看見有一卷關乎新啟示的書卷，但是被封住了，天使便大聲宣佈有誰能揭開這本書，但是沒有人配得展開，因此約翰很悲傷，因為啟示無法被揭開。
這帶來關於上帝的第二個啟示就是，猶大的獅子是以像是被宰殺過的羔羊來出現，於是有一首新歌或敬拜便發出：「祢配拿書卷，配揭開七印；因為祢曾被殺，用自己的血從各族、各方、各民、各國中買了人來，叫他們歸於神。」(啟示錄5:9)於是封印揭開、書卷被打開了。
前面關於上帝的啟示是造物者，是不能揭開封印、打開書卷的。關於上帝的一個新啟示，以及基於這啟示所向祂敬拜的回應，都是必須的。
一個關於上帝在天上的新啟示，帶來一個新的敬拜回應，這揭開了地上所要發生之事的新啟示，這樣的模式一直在啟示錄的整卷書中重複著。所啟示與敬拜的上帝，是公義的審判者、萬軍之主、亙古常在者，以及新郎，而每一個新啟示都帶來一首敬拜的新歌，並且每一首敬拜的新歌都釋放出地上的活動。
神希望我們能參與天堂與地上之間的動態交互作用，祂正在打開一扇門，並呼召我們「上到這裡來」，神希望用新的方式向我們顯明祂自己，使我們能夠以新的敬拜表達來做回應，當我們這樣做時，關於神正在地上領域所做的事，這啟示便會賜給我們。
這一百天從頭到末了，要去聆聽這呼叫你上來的聲音，來尋求這敞開的門，並進入啟示與敬拜的新領域。
Day 7 of 100 Days: "Come Up Here": Read Rev. 4

Chuck D. Pierce
One of the most repeated words from the Lord over the last few months has been, “Come up here.” God has been calling us to come up to a new place of authority, vision, perspective, identity and many other things.
In Revelation 4:1 the Apostle John received a similar instruction, “Come up here and I will show you what must take place after these things.” What John “saw” was the interaction between heaven and earth based on the revelation of who God is and the worship that arose from that revelation.
The first revelation of God was Creator and a song of worship was sung, “Worthy are You, our Lord and our God, to receive glory and honor and power, for You created all things…” Immediately John saw that there was a book of new revelation but it was sealed. A call went out for someone to open the book, but no one was worthy. John grieved because the revelation could not be opened.
This brought the second revelation of God – the Lion of Judah who appeared as a lamb who had been slain. A new song or worship burst forth, “Worthy are You to take the book and to open its seals for You were slain to purchase for God with Your blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation.” The seals could be broken and the book could be opened!
The former revelation of God as Creator could not break the seals and open the book. A new revelation of God and a response of worship to Him based on that revelation was necessary.
A new revelation of God in heaven brought a new response of worship which unlocked new revelation of what was to happen on earth. This pattern is repeated through the book of Revelation. God is revealed and worshiped as the Righteous Judge, the Captain of the Hosts, the Ancient of Days and the Bridegroom. Each new revelation brought a new song of worship. Each new song of worship released activity on earth.
God wants us to participate in this dynamic interaction between heaven and earth. He is opening a door and calling us to “Come up here.” God wants to reveal Himself to us in new ways so that we can respond with new expressions of worship. As we do this the revelation of what God is doing in the earth realm will be released to us.
Throughout this 100 days, listen for the voice calling you to come up. Look for the open door and enter a new realm of revelation and worship.
During the day today read the book of Revelation. Ask the Lord to give you a new revelation of Himself. Sing a new song or express your worship to Him in a new way. Watch for the release of new activity, signs and wonders in the earth.
