As the eternal dwelling of the redeemed, regenerated, transformed, and glorified saints. H. As the ultimate and eternal manifestation and expression of the Triune God united with the redeemed, tripartite men.
All the above twelve items are the most mysterious matters in the divine revelation according to the Scriptures.
Brother Nee was not only a seer of these divine visions, but also a pioneer in the experience and enjoyment of the contents of all these divine visions.
CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE
WITNESS LEE'S RELATIONSHIP
WITH WATCHMAN NEE
FROM 1925 TO 1935
INITIAL CONTACT
In the beginning of our history, a great geographical distance existed between me and Watchman Nee. He was in the southern province of Fukien, and I was in the northern province of Shantung.
He was saved in 1920 and I in 1925. My mother's maternal grandfather was a Southern Baptist, who in turn brought my mother into Christianity. She studied in the American Southern Baptist mission school and as a teen-ager was baptized into the Southern Baptist Church about 1885. I was born in 1905. She brought me in contact with her Baptist Church in Chefoo. I studied in the Southern Baptist Chinese elementary school and in the English mission college operated by the American Presbyterians in Chefoo. Though I attended the Southern Baptist Church services and Sunday school in my youth, I was not saved and was never baptized by them. Eventually, for about five years, I ceased attending any Christian services.
