Session 4
Opening
Brothers and sisters, after believing in the Lord for many years, our greatest hope is to welcome the Lord. Especially now, in the last days, when disasters are growing more frequent and many prophecies of the Lord’s coming have already been fulfilled, many people are becoming increasingly anxious, eagerly longing for the Lord’s return. Some brothers and sisters even fast and pray for this, earnestly calling on the Lord. Brothers and sisters, are you also eagerly longing for the Lord’s return? Are you willing to be a wise virgin and welcome the Lord’s return? But do you know the path to welcoming the Lord?
The Lord Jesus said: “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me” (John 10:27).
“Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hears My voice, and opens the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me” (Revelation 3:20).
Through the Lord Jesus’ words, have you found the way to welcome the Lord’s return?—The key to welcoming the Lord is being able to recognize God’s voice.
Especially in the Book of Revelation, the Lord prophesied seven times:
“He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches” (Revelation 2:7).
It is clear that being able to hear God’s voice is extremely important! If we do not focus on hearing God’s voice, but instead hold on to our own notions and imaginings while waiting for the Lord to come, we will end up like foolish virgins—missing the chance to meet the Lord and falling into disaster, weeping and gnashing our teeth. Some people may ask, "What are the characteristics of God’s voice? How can we hear God’s voice and welcome God’s return?" These questions are extremely important. So, in today’s sermon, we’ll be focusing on this very topic. This sermon concerns whether we can welcome the return of the Lord Jesus, and it also concerns the destiny of each of us. I hope everyone will listen to the end, and you will also hear truly good news that you have never heard before.
Part 1: Review two ways of the Lord’s return
Q How will God return?
A. He will come with the clouds directly and openly, because He already came in the flesh 2000 years ago.
B. He will come secretly in the form of the Spirit.
C. First, He will come in the flesh again secretly. Then, He will come with the clouds openly.
D. I am not sure.
✅C. First, He will come in the flesh again secretly. Then, He will come with the clouds openly.
Now, all who believe in the Lord are eagerly awaiting His return. Most people believe that the Lord will return by descending on a cloud. But do you think coming on the cloud is the only way of the Lord's return? Will God only appear on the cloud?
The answer is no! Why?
In the Bible, there are so many prophecies about the Lord’s second coming. It did mention that the Lord will come upon the clouds. However, according to the prophecies of the Lord Jesus in the Bible, the Lord will also return as the Son of man to speak His words, because the Lord prophesied many times that the Son of man will come, and the Son of man will appear. The coming of the Son of man refers to God becoming flesh to appear and work. This is the purest understanding. The coming and the appearance of the Son of man is a great mystery.
There are many prophecies in the Bible about the Lord’s return, but most of them were spoken by humans, such as apostles and prophets, while some came from angels. Most people go by human prophecies and look forward to the Lord returning openly on the clouds. However, the Lord’s return is actually the most hidden matter.
The Lord Jesus said: “But of that day and hour knows no man, not the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but My Father only” (Matthew 24:36).
Since no man knows that day and hour—not even the angels of heaven, but only God knows—if we want to welcome the Lord, we must rely on the prophecies of the Lord Jesus Himself. Only then do we have hope of welcoming the Lord. Those who stubbornly cling to the belief that the Lord will only descend on the clouds will naturally fall into disaster, weeping and gnashing their teeth.
“As the lightning comes out of the east, and shines even to the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be” (Matthew 24:27).
“For as the lightning, that lightens out of the one part under heaven, shines to the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in His day. But first must He suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation” (Luke 17:24–25).
“I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. However, when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth … and He will show you things to come” (John 16:12–13).
“Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hears My voice, and opens the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me” (Revelation 3:20).
What do we see from these prophecies of the Lord Jesus? His words clearly tell us that when the Lord returns in the last days, He will come as the Son of man. The “Son of man” actually refers to God incarnate. The primary purpose of God becoming flesh is to speak, to express many truths, and to guide God’s chosen people into all truth. So, what work is the Lord coming to do by expressing the truth? It is to carry out the work of judgment beginning with the house of God, and to do the work of completely saving humanity.
Carrying out the Work of Judgment
“He that rejects Me, and accepts not My words, has one that judges him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day” (John 12:48).
1 Peter 4:17: “For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God.”
Psalm 96:13: “Before Jehovah: for He comes, for He comes to judge the earth: He shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with His truth.”
This further proves that in the last days, God will become flesh a second time to carry out the work of judgment, expressing the truth to judge and purify people. God first becomes flesh and comes in secret as the Son of man, expressing the truth to judge and purify people, and to make a group of overcomers before the disasters.
After God completes His work of judgment and has purified those who truly believe in Him, He will then appear openly to all nations and peoples by coming on the clouds. By that time, the work of judging and saving mankind will have already ended. God will do the work of rewarding good and punishing evil. All who refuse to accept God’s second incarnation will be condemned and destroyed. At that time, the prophecy of the Lord descending on a cloud will be fulfilled.
Revelation 1:7: “Behold, He comes with clouds; and every eye shall see Him, and they also which pierced Him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of Him.”
The Lord comes in two ways:
🍀Before the disaster: Come in the flesh secretly, and perfect a group of overcomers.
🍀After the disaster: Come with the clouds in a spiritual body openly, and reward the good and punish the evil.
Part 2: Hear God’s voice to welcome the Lord
I. Welcoming the Lord by Listening to God’s Voice:
So how can we welcome the Lord? Why did the Lord repeatedly tell us that we must focus on listening to God’s voice to welcome Him?
Because the Lord first comes by becoming flesh as the Son of man, and the Son of man has an ordinary and normal appearance, without anything supernatural outwardly, no one will be able to recognize Him as God just by looking at His outward appearance.
The Lord Jesus said: “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me” (John 10:27).
The Book of Revelation repeatedly prophesies,
“He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches!” (Revelation chapters 2 and 3).
This phrase is repeated seven times.
🔔Therefore, the key to welcoming the Lord is to hear God’s voice, to discern whether the utterances of the Son of man are the voice of God. Those who hear the voice of God and open the door for the Lord will welcome Him. If the Lord expresses the truth but people turn a deaf ear, they will not be able to welcome the Lord. Now, do you know what the key to welcoming the Lord is? To welcome the Lord, we must seek to “hear” God’s voice. Just like 2,000 years ago, Peter and the Samaritan woman welcomed the Lord by listening to His words.
What does this “voice” refer to?
—This voice is not a physical sound but refers to the many truths expressed by the Lord when He comes again. These are truths that people have never heard of, and they are words that are not recorded in the Bible.
Why does hearing truths never heard before represent welcoming the Lord? Let’s ponder a few questions together. Where does the truth come from? Who can express the truth? Can man express the truth? Can Satan express the truth? Can pastors, elders, or scientists express the truth?
—No, only God can express the truth; all truth comes from God. Just as the Bible says:
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1).
The Lord Jesus said: “I am the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6).
“The truth comes from the world of man, yet the truth among man is passed on by Christ. It originates from Christ, that is, from God Himself, and this is not something man is capable of.”
The truth comes from God, and only God can express the truth. No human can express the truth. Look at all the famous and great figures, and the world’s most revered scientists—which one of them can express the truth? Not a single one! So, if you really understand this fact that only God is the truth, only God can express the truth, and no human, Satan, or evil spirit can express the truth, then you can believe that even though this Son of man who expresses the truth appears ordinary, He is indeed the incarnation of God, the embodiment of truth, and the incarnate flesh of God.
So, what is the truth?
“The truth is the criterion for man’s self-conduct, actions, and worship of God.”
“God Himself is life, and the truth, and His life and truth coexist.”
“God Himself is the truth, and He possesses all the truths. God is the source of the truth. Every positive thing and every truth come from God. He can pass judgment on the rightness and wrongness of all things and all events; He can pass judgment on things that have happened, things that are happening now, and future things yet unknown to man. God is the only Judge who can pass judgment on the rightness and wrongness of all things, and this means the rightness and wrongness of all things can only be judged by God. He knows the criteria for all things. He can express truths at any time and place. God is the embodiment of the truth, which means that He Himself is possessed of the essence of the truth. … What exactly is the essence of the embodiment of the truth? It is the source that provides the truth, the source of governance and sovereignty over all things, and it is also the sole criterion and standard by which all things and all events are judged. This is the embodiment of the truth.”
The truth originates from God; it is all that God has and is, the revelation of God’s disposition; it is what God requires man to possess and what God bestows upon man as life. Only the words expressed by God are the truth. All the words expressed by God in every age are the truth. Because God’s essence is the truth, all the words He speaks are the truth. God’s words can be man’s life, can guide mankind in how to live, and enable mankind to live in the light and before God. Therefore, God’s words are all truth; they are positive things that never change.
- All that God has and is is the truth. God’s words reveal God’s disposition, all that God has and is. From God’s words, you can see God’s disposition, God’s righteousness, holiness, almightiness, and so on.
- The principles by which God does things are even more the truth. For example, how God is sovereign over the universe and all things, how He is sovereign over the material world and the unseen spiritual realm, and how He decides the outcomes and destinies of all kinds of people.
- The mysteries revealed by God are also the truth.
- All of God’s requirements for man are the truth, too. For example, the laws proclaimed to man by Jehovah are the truth, and the Lord Jesus’ teachings about being honest and forgiving are the truth as well.
Why do we say that God’s words are the truth? If you act according to God’s words and meet the standard of those words, you can be saved, be blessed by God, and gain eternal life. For example, if you practice God’s words and become an honest person, you will be blessed by God and have a good outcome and destination. If you are a deceitful person, you will be cursed. Even after a million or a hundred million years, honest people will still be those whom God likes. This fact will never change; this is the truth. The truth is eternal and unchanging; it will always stand firm, and no one can violate it. Every word spoken by God will be accomplished and fulfilled. This proves that God’s words have authority and power; God’s words are the truth. Regardless of whether mankind can accept the truth or not, the truth is an eternal law that no one can violate. Whoever violates or resists it will perish. Therefore, the truth is a positive thing that exists forever; it is the reality of all positive things.
So, welcoming the Lord’s return is actually welcoming the Son of man who can express all truth. As long as He expresses the truth, He is the returned Lord, because only the incarnate Son of man can express the truth, and only Christ is the truth, the way, and the life. The Lord Jesus said:
“And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom comes; go you out to meet him” (Matthew 25:6).
This tells us that once we hear someone testifying that God has appeared, carried out His work, and expressed many truths, we should quickly seek and see if these words are God’s words. If they are the truth, we should accept and submit, because God’s sheep can hear God’s voice. As soon as they hear God’s words, they feel that they are the truth, filled with authority and power, and they feel these words are profound, are mysteries, and are not something man can express. Thus, they can determine from their hearts that these words are the utterances of the Holy Spirit, the voice of God. This is how wise virgins hear God’s voice and welcome the Lord. As for those who shut themselves off and cling to their old ways, those who hear someone testifying that the Lord has returned but do not investigate or accept, they are destined to be unable to hear God’s voice and welcome the Lord. They will become foolish virgins, be abandoned by the Lord, and can only weep and gnash their teeth in the great disasters.
At this point, some people may ask, "Then how can we recognize God’s voice?" The Lord Jesus said:
“He that is of God hears God’s words: you therefore hear them not, because you are not of God” (John 8:47).
Actually, hearing God’s voice is not a difficult thing. Think about it, when we believe in the Lord Jesus and hear the many words He spoke, what do we feel? Although we may not have much experiential understanding of the Lord’s words, as soon as we hear them, we feel they are the truth, that they have authority and power, and we feel these words are profound, are mysteries, and that man cannot fathom them. This is the result of spiritual intuition and inner feeling. It does not depend on how educated a person is, how much biblical knowledge they understand, or how deep their experience is. Regardless of whether we can explain it clearly, this feeling is accurate. This is enough to prove that if a person has a heart and a spirit, they can sense the power and authority of words from God. That’s what hearing the voice of God is like. Going a step further, what other characteristics do God’s words possess? God’s words provide us with life; they unveil mysteries, open up a new age and put an end to the old age. Just as the Lord Jesus was able to express truths at any time and any place to shepherd, water, and supply people; the Lord also revealed the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, brought to humanity the way of “Repent you: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand,” opened up the Age of Grace, brought the Age of Law to a close, and completed the work of mankind’s redemption. This was something that no human being could accomplish. Isn’t that the case?
Characteristics of God’s Voice:
🌹 God’s words have power and authority.
🌹 God’s words can reveal mysteries.
🌹 God’s words can expose our corruption, purify and save us, and supply us with life.
Part 3: Reveal the Lord’s return
【Note: Reveal the Lord’s return and then send God’s words to listen, then select some sentences from the passages to prove that all these words can only be expressed by God Himself, and all these words are just the truth! Since the truth is only from God and now He already brings us the truth, so we know the Lord has already returned!】
【Ask attention before you reveal the good news!】
So then, I would like to announce some good news, and I hope everyone can listen carefully. Nowadays, there is a Son of man who has been uttering words for many years, expressing so many truths. After reading these words, many people have felt that they are the utterances of the Holy Spirit, the voice of God, and they have become certain that this Son of man who is expressing truths is the returned Lord Jesus, that He is Almighty God incarnate. Almighty God has expressed all the truths for purifying and saving man, revealing the mysteries of God’s six-thousand-year management plan and doing the work of judgment beginning at the house of God. He has begun the Age of Kingdom, and ended the Age of Grace. The Lord Jesus has already become flesh and returned to speak His words!
🎁🎁🎁The Lord Jesus has already returned in the flesh to speak the truth and do the judgment work!
🎁🎁🎁The Lord Jesus has already returned in the flesh to speak the truth and do the judgment work!
Perhaps we feel this is very sudden, or that the time has not yet come, but the Son of man has already returned when we least expect it. Just as the scripture says,
“Therefore be you also ready: for in such an hour as you think not the Son of man comes” (Matthew 24:44).
but no matter how surprised we are, we still need to have a seeking and humble heart, do you agree?
Does everyone want to hear the words of Almighty God and hear God’s voice? Let’s read a few passages of Almighty God’s words.
Almighty God says: “I was once known as Jehovah. I was also called the Messiah, and people once called Me Jesus the Savior with love and esteem. Today, however, I am no longer the Jehovah or Jesus that people knew in times past; I am the God who has returned in the last days, the God who shall bring the age to an end. I am the God Himself that rises up from the end of the earth, replete with My entire disposition, and full of authority, honor, and glory. People have never engaged with Me, never known Me, and have always been ignorant of My disposition. From the creation of the world until today, not one person has seen Me. This is the God who appears to man in the last days but is hidden among man. He resides among man, true and real, like the burning sun and the blazing flame, filled with power and brimming with authority. There is not a single person or thing that shall not be judged by My words, and not a single person or thing that shall not be purified through the burning of fire. Eventually, all nations shall be blessed because of My words, and also smashed to pieces because of My words. In this way, all people during the last days shall see that I am the Savior returned, and that I am the Almighty God that conquers all of mankind. And all shall see that I was once the sin offering for man, but that in the last days I also become the flames of the sun that incinerate all things, as well as the Sun of righteousness that reveals all things. This is My work in the last days. I took this name and am possessed of this disposition so that all people may see that I am a righteous God, the burning sun, the blazing flame, and so that all may worship Me, the one true God, and so that they may see My true face: I am not only the God of the Israelites, and I am not just the Redeemer; I am the God of all creatures throughout the heavens and the earth and the seas”
Almighty God says: “Throughout the universe I am doing My work, and in the East, thunderous crashes issue forth endlessly, shaking all nations and denominations. It is My voice that has led all men into the present. I cause all men to be conquered by My voice, to fall into this stream, and submit before Me, for I have long since reclaimed My glory from all the earth and issued it forth anew in the East. Who does not long to see My glory? Who does not anxiously await My return? Who does not thirst for My reappearance? Who does not pine for My loveliness? Who would not come to the light? Who would not look upon the richness of Canaan? Who does not long for the return of the Redeemer? Who does not adore Him who is great in power? My voice shall spread throughout the earth; I will face My chosen people and speak more words to them. Like the mighty thunders that shake the mountains and rivers, I speak My words to the whole universe and to mankind. Hence the words in My mouth have become man’s treasure, and all men cherish My words. The lightning flashes from the East all the way to the West. My words are such that man is loath to give them up and at the same time finds them unfathomable, but rejoices in them all the more. All men are glad and joyful, celebrating My coming, as if an infant had just been born. By means of My voice, I shall bring all men before Me. Thenceforth, I shall formally enter into the race of men so that they will come to worship Me. With the glory that I radiate and the words in My mouth, I shall make it such that all men come before Me and see that the lightning flashes from the East and that I have also descended unto the ‘Mount of Olives’ of the East. They will see that I have already long been on earth, no longer as the Son of the Jews but as the Lightning of the East. For I have long since been resurrected, and have departed from mankind’s midst, and then reappeared with glory among men. I am He who was worshiped countless ages before now, and I am also the infant forsaken by the Israelites countless ages before now. Moreover, I am the all-glorious Almighty God of the present age! Let all come before My throne and see My glorious countenance, hear My voice, and look upon My deeds. This is the entirety of My will; it is the end and the climax of My plan, as well as the purpose of My management: to have every nation worship Me, every tongue acknowledge Me, every man repose his faith in Me, and every people be subject unto Me!”
Almighty God says: “As I turn My face to the universe to speak, all mankind hears My voice, and thereupon sees all the works I have wrought throughout the universe. Those who set themselves against My will, that is to say, who oppose Me with the deeds of man, will fall under My chastisement. I will take the multitudinous stars in the heavens and make them anew and, thanks to Me, the sun and the moon will be renewed—the skies will no longer be as they were and the myriad things on the earth will be renewed. All will become complete through My words. The many nations within the universe will be partitioned afresh and replaced by My kingdom, so that the nations upon the earth will disappear forever and all will become a kingdom that worships Me; all the nations of the earth will be destroyed and cease to exist. Of the human beings within the universe, all those belonging to the devil will be exterminated, and all who worship Satan will be laid low by My burning fire—that is, except for those now within the stream, all will be turned to ashes. When I chastise the many peoples, those in the religious world will, to varying extents, return to My kingdom, conquered by My works, because they will have seen the advent of the Holy One riding on a white cloud. All people will be separated according to their own kind, and will receive chastisements commensurate with their actions. All those who have stood against Me will perish; as for those whose deeds on earth have not involved Me, they will, because of how they have acquitted themselves, continue to exist on the earth under the governance of My sons and My people. I will reveal Myself to the myriad peoples and the myriad nations, and with My own voice, I will sound forth upon the earth, proclaiming the completion of My great work for all mankind to see with their own eyes”
Question: Who can speak these words?
A. Only God can speak these words; they are God’s voice.
B. They come from man; anyone can speak these words.
C. I don’t know.
✅Correct answer: A. Only God can speak these words; they are God’s voice.
How do you feel after listening to these passages of Almighty God’s words? Are these words the voice of God? Every word of Almighty God carries authority and power, and it shakes people’s hearts.
Apart from God, who can speak to the entire human race?
Apart from God, who can convey and express to humanity the intentions of God to save mankind?
Apart from God, who can determine the outcome of humanity? Who can control the life and death of man? Who can govern the stars and the universe, and hold sovereignty over all things?
Apart from God, who can publicly reveal to mankind the plan and arrangement of God’s work in the last days and the outcome and destination of mankind in advance?
Apart from God, who can make God’s administrative decrees public to the entire universe?
Apart from God, no one else can do it. Almighty God speaks to all of humanity, allowing people to feel the authority and power of God’s words. The words of Almighty God are the direct expression of God, the voice of God! From Almighty God’s words, we can recognize that His words, like those of the Lord Jesus, are spoken with authority and power. Both are God incarnate, speaking to mankind from on high, revealing God’s disposition and God’s holy essence. From God’s words, God’s authority and identity are fully revealed. Whether it is the Lord Jesus or Almighty God, Their tone and manner of speaking are the same and both express the disposition of God, fully manifesting the identity and essence of God. Even though at the time, the sheep of God, after hearing Almighty God’s words, may not understand the truth contained in God’s words or have much experiential knowledge of God’s words, they can feel that every word of Almighty God carries authority and power, and they can recognize it as the voice of God, the direct expression of the Spirit of God. This fulfills the words of the Lord Jesus:
“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me” (John 10:27).
So, now that we have heard the voice of God, has God returned? Without a doubt, God has returned!
God has come again in the flesh for the second time! The Lord Jesus that we have yearned for day and night has returned! His name is Almighty God.
Today, we are not just telling everyone that God has returned, but that God has returned to express the truth, bringing His words and expressing all truths!
The Lord Jesus has already come back as a flesh with the TRUTH!
The Lord Jesus has already come back as a flesh with the TRUTH!
The Lord Jesus has already come back as a flesh with the TRUTH!
Question: Brothers and sisters, do you think these words are from the Bible, or they are new words from God in the last days outside the Bible?
New words from God outside the Bible.
Yes, these words are not recorded in the Bible. So where do they come from? They are new words expressed by Almighty God in the last days, which could not have been recorded in the Bible in advance. In fact, in the last days, the Lord Jesus has already returned incarnate as Almighty God. Almighty God has already opened the sealed book, which has precisely fulfilled the prophecies:
📚 Daniel 12:9–10: “And He said, Go your way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.”
📚 Revelation 5:1–5: “And I saw in the right hand of Him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. And one of the elders said to me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.”
The sealed book has already been opened!
The sealed book has already been opened!
The sealed book has already been opened!
At this point, I want to emphasize one thing: These words were not spoken by someone among us who received revelation from God, nor were they spoken directly by God’s Spirit. Rather, it is that God personally became flesh a second time, coming to earth as an ordinary person to speak these words. Because no one among mankind can open the sealed book; only the Lord Jesus Himself can open it. No one among mankind can express truth; only God Himself can express truth. When I tell you that the Lord Jesus has returned, some people will say that His Spirit is with us and has never left us. Of course, God’s Spirit is always with us—there’s no such thing as His Spirit “coming back” or “not coming back.” Therefore, God’s Spirit being with us does not mean we have welcomed the Lord. When we testify that the Lord Jesus has returned, it means He has become flesh a second time and come to earth as a person with flesh and blood, expressing many new words and doing new work. Through the words of this ordinary Son of man, people gradually recognize that these words are truth, and that this Son of man is the returned Lord Jesus whom we have longed for day and night—Almighty God is the returned Lord Jesus.
At this point, some people may ask, “Does the sealed book only contain these few paragraphs?” Can you guess how many words God has expressed so far in the last days?
Over 10 million new words!
In fact, Almighty God has expressed nearly 10 million words of truth in the last days! These new words are the evidence of the Lord Jesus’ return!
Some people may not grasp the concept of 10 million words, I will give you a comparison.
Bible=800,000 words, less than 1 million
Sealed book=10 million new words.
🌹Sealed book=more than 11 Bibles
This precisely fulfills the prophecy of the Lord Jesus:
“I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. However, when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth … and He will show you things to come” (John 16:12–13).
Do you wanna know what mysteries have been revealed in the sealed book? Let us see it together!
Almighty God has revealed many mysteries. For example:
🟠 The mystery of God’s 6,000-year management plan
🟠 The mystery of God’s names
🟠 The mystery of the work of judgment in the last days
🟠 The mystery of the incarnation
🟠 Whom God saves and whom He eliminates
🟠 How God makes a group of overcomers before the disasters
🟠 Who can enter the kingdom of heaven and who cannot
🟠 The future outcome and destination of mankind
🟠 How the kingdom of Christ is realized
🟠 How Satan corrupts man
🟠 How to resolve the problem of sinning
🟠 How to achieve true love for God
🟠 And many more.
These mysteries are eye-opening and utterly convincing. These mysteries not only tell us about things that happened in the past, but also about the work God is currently doing, and the things God will accomplish in the future. If God had not returned, who could open the sealed book and reveal so many mysteries? Only God Himself!
Today, God incarnate is a normal, ordinary flesh, but the words from His mouth shake heaven and earth. Some of His words are full of God’s mercy and tolerance for man, some are full of God’s wrath toward this evil world, and some are severe like a double-edged sword, piercing our hearts. Today, Almighty God has expressed tens of millions of words, which are sufficient for God’s sheep to recognize that Almighty God is the returned Lord Jesus. These abundant truths are the best evidence that God has returned, fully demonstrating that Almighty God is the returned Lord Jesus!
Some people may ask, “Where can I get this book?” At the end of the seventh day’s fellowship, I will give each of you this book. Everyone who seeks the truth and yearns for God’s appearance can receive this book for free. This fulfills the prophecy in Revelation:
“I will give to him that is thirsty of the fountain of the water of life freely” (Revelation 21:6).
Does everyone still want to hear words on other aspects? Actually, the Lord’s words are abundant, and truths in all aspects have already been expressed. Next, let’s read a few more passages of God’s words.
Almighty God says: “Now is the time when I determine the outcome for each person, not the stage in which I began to work man. I write down in My record book, one by one, the words and actions of each person, the path by which they have followed Me, their inherent characteristics, and how they have ultimately comported themselves. In this way, no matter what kind of person they are, no one shall escape My hand, and all shall be with their own kind as I assign. I decide the destination of each person not on the basis of age, seniority, amount of suffering, and least of all, the degree to which they invite pity, but according to whether they possess the truth. There is no other choice but this. You must realize that all those who do not follow the will of God shall also be punished. This is something that no person can change. Therefore, all those who are punished are so punished for the righteousness of God and as retribution for their numerous evil acts.”
The passage we just read says: “Now is the time when I determine the outcome for each person.” In this world, who alone can determine our outcome? We humans cannot speak these words; only God Himself can! The words we just read have authority and power; they are words that no human being could speak. No famous person, great person, or religious leader could express such words. They are entirely the utterances of the Creator to mankind.
Let’s take a look at Almighty God’s words of promise to man:
Almighty God says: “The kingdom is expanding in mankind’s midst, it is forming in mankind’s midst, and it is standing up in mankind’s midst; there is no force that can destroy My kingdom. My people, who are in the kingdom of today, which of you is not a member of human race? Which of you lies outside the human condition? When My new starting point is made public, how will people react? You have seen with your own eyes the state of the human world; have you not yet dispelled thoughts of living forever in this world? I am now walking amongst My people and I live in their midst. Today, those who have genuine love for Me—such people are blessed. Blessed are those who submit to Me, they shall remain in My kingdom. Blessed are those who know Me, they shall wield power in My kingdom. Blessed are those who pursue Me, they shall escape from Satan’s bonds and enjoy My blessings. Blessed are those who are able to rebel against themselves, they shall be occupied by Me and inherit My kingdom’s bounty. Those who run around for Me I will remember, those who expend themselves for Me I will accept, and to those who offer up to Me I will grant them things for their enjoyment. Those who enjoy My words I will bless; they shall be the pillars that hold up the ridgepole in My kingdom, they shall enjoy a matchless bounty in My house, and no one can compare with them. Have you ever accepted the blessings that were prepared for you? Have you ever pursued the promises that were made for you? You shall, under the guidance of My light, break through the stranglehold of the forces of darkness. You shall not, in the midst of darkness, lose the guidance of the light. You shall be the masters of all things. You shall be overcomers before Satan. You shall, at the downfall of the country of the great red dragon, stand amid the myriad people as proof of My victory. You shall stand firm and unwavering in the land of Sinim. Through the sufferings you endure, you will inherit My blessings, and you shall radiate My light of glory throughout the entire universe.”
After reading this passage, what do you feel? Let’s think about it: Besides God, who has the power and authority to bestow promises upon mankind? And who can reveal such mysteries as what blessings different kinds of people will receive in God’s kingdom?
Almighty God has not only opened all the major mysteries of God’s six-thousand-year management plan, telling people the truths and mysteries such as the purpose of God’s management of mankind, how God does the three stages of work to save mankind, the mystery of the incarnation, the inside story of the Bible, and so on, but Almighty God has also revealed the outcomes of different kinds of people, the true future destination of mankind, how God will ultimately end the age, how the kingdom of Christ will be realized, and so on. All these truths and mysteries have been opened to us. Furthermore, Almighty God has also revealed the truth of mankind’s corruption by Satan and the satanic nature of man that resists God, and has pointed out to man the path of practice for casting off their corrupt disposition and attaining salvation.
Next, let’s talk about how God’s chosen people recognize God’s voice through Almighty God’s words that judge and expose man’s corrupt disposition. Let’s listen to a passage of Almighty God’s words on how He judges our corruption.
Almighty God says, “My deeds are greater in number than the grains of sand on the beaches, and My wisdom surpasses all the sons of Solomon, yet people merely think of Me as a physician of little account and an unknown teacher of man. So many believe in Me only that I might heal them. So many believe in Me only that I might use My powers to drive unclean spirits out from their bodies, and so many believe in Me simply that they might receive peace and joy from Me. So many believe in Me only to demand from Me greater material wealth. So many believe in Me just to spend this life in peace and to be safe and sound in the world to come. So many believe in Me to avoid the suffering of hell and to receive the blessings of heaven. So many believe in Me only for temporary comfort, yet do not seek to gain anything in the world to come. When I brought down My fury upon man and seized all the joy and peace he once possessed, man became doubtful. When I gave unto man the suffering of hell and reclaimed the blessings of heaven, man’s shame turned into anger. When man asked Me to heal him, I paid him no heed and felt abhorrence toward him; man departed from Me to instead seek the way of evil medicine and sorcery. When I took away all that man had demanded from Me, everyone disappeared without a trace. Thus, I say that man has faith in Me because I give too much grace, and there is far too much to gain.”
Besides God, who can see through to the essence and true face of corrupt mankind? Who can expose the satanic nature hidden deep within our hearts? Who can accomplish God’s work of judgment in the last days and thoroughly save us from Satan’s influence? Only the Creator possesses such authority and power!
Part 4: Work of Judgment
Some people say, “God has already come. So, what work is God doing by coming to express the truth?” He has come to do the work of judgment in the last days, completely fulfilling the prophecies in the Bible.
“For the Father judges no man, but has committed all judgment to the Son” (John 5:22).
“And has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of man” (John 5:27).
“And if any man hears My words, and believes not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejects Me, and accepts not My words, has one that judges him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day” (John 12:47–48).
In addition, 1 Peter 4:17 also mentions, “For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God.”
These prophecies have made it very clear: The judgment in the last days begins with the house of God and is carried out among all those who accept God’s work of judgment in the last days. This means that the incarnate Son of man comes to the earth, expresses many truths to judge and cleanse people, and guides God’s chosen people into all truths. This is the judgment work of the Savior in the last days, and it was planned by God long ago. Almighty God has expressed millions of words, which are all truths that judge and cleanse people. This is the work of judgment that God carries out in the last days, a work of words that thoroughly cleanses and saves mankind.
Almighty God says: “The work of judgment is God’s own work, so it must naturally be carried out by God Himself; it cannot be done by man in His stead. Because judgment is the use of the truth to conquer humankind, there is no question that God would still appear in the incarnate image to perform this work among man. That is to say, Christ of the last days shall use the truth to teach people across the world and make all truths known to them. This is God’s work of judgment.”
Now, the incarnate Son of Man, Almighty God, has already come. He has expressed all truths that purify and save humanity, shaking the entire world and various religions and denominations.
More and more people are listening to the voice of God, seeking and examining the true way. Through reading Almighty God's words, they have experienced the judgment and chastisement of God's words, gradually undergoing changes in their disposition, and bearing witness to many experiences of being cleansed of sins.
Examples of experiential testimonies: 👇
Brothers and sisters, let’s all think: Who can reveal the root cause of mankind’s sinning? Who can do God’s work of judgment in the last days? If God did not become flesh to appear and work, who could purify mankind and save mankind? No one! Who can reveal to mankind God’s holy, righteous, and unoffendable disposition? Only God incarnate. Besides God incarnate, no human being can do this. It is from Almighty God’s words and work that we have determined that Almighty God is the practical God incarnate, the appearance of Christ the Savior in the last days!
Some people may say, "Why didn’t I know this before?" Actually, God has returned in the flesh in secret today, and not everyone hears this good news at the same time. God has predestined a suitable time for everyone to hear the news of the Lord’s coming. Today is the time God has predestined for us to hear the good news that the Lord has returned. In fact, it’s not just you who have heard the news that God has returned; you are just one among millions. In your country, and even in your hometown, many brothers and sisters have already accepted the fact that the Lord Jesus has returned. Now, the fact that Almighty God’s gospel of the last days is spreading widely allows us to further confirm in our hearts that He is not an ordinary person—He is the returned Lord Jesus!
Almighty God says: “My utterances shall be propagated throughout the earth; I will utter and speak words more to My chosen people, like mighty thunder shaking the mountains and rivers. I speak My words to the whole universe and to mankind. Hence the words from My mouth have become man’s treasure, and all men cherish My words.”
God means what He says, and what He says shall be done. In fact, these words have already been fulfilled. The Lord Jesus who has returned in the flesh—Almighty God—has officially begun to express the truth, doing the work of judgment beginning at the house of God in the last days, ending the Age of Grace, opening the Age of Kingdom, and bringing the gospel of the kingdom’s descent.
Almighty God’s words have already spread to many countries around the world. Almighty God’s words have also been translated into dozens of languages and are being openly propagated to all mankind. The gospel of the kingdom has spread to many overseas countries, including the United States, Canada, Ukraine, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, South Korea, the Philippines, and many others. All who accept Almighty God’s work of judgment in the last days have attended the Lamb’s feast and begun the life of the people living face to face with the Lord in the Age of Kingdom.
Because these people have accepted the watering, shepherding, judgment, and exposure of Almighty God’s words, they have gained a new understanding of God’s work, seen the truth of their corruption by Satan, truly regretted and hated themselves, begun to focus on practicing the truth, and their corrupt dispositions have changed. They have also borne various testimonies of experiencing God’s judgment and chastisement and being purified of corruption.
It can be seen that Almighty God’s work of judgment in the last days has already made a group of overcomers. Various experiential testimonies of God’s chosen people and various movies and videos have all been put online. Many who yearn for the truth and sincerely believe in the Lord, after seeing Almighty God’s words and the various experiential testimonies of God’s chosen people and through seeking and investigating, have determined that Almighty God is the Lord Jesus returned, and that the work of judgment in the last days done by Almighty God is the work of purifying and saving mankind. Therefore, they have all accepted Almighty God one after another, been caught up before God’s throne, accepted the judgment and purification before Christ’s seat, and attended the wedding feast of the Lamb.

C. The Lord Jesus has come to the earth in the flesh for the second time and has personally spoken these new words!
Part 5: Breaking the notions
At this point, some brothers and sisters might ask:
Question (6): Regarding the Lord’s coming, the scriptures clearly state: “But of that day and hour knows no man, not the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but My Father only.” But you now say the Lord has already come. How do you know?
It is recorded in the scriptures:
“But of that day and hour knows no man, not the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but My Father only” (Matthew 24:36).
Some brothers and sisters use this as a basis to say that the Lord has not yet come and do not believe that the Lord has already come now. Actually, this line of reasoning is not tenable, because the purpose of God becoming flesh and coming among men is to save man. If He came and did not let people know, how could people follow Him and believe in Him? how can we get all the truth and be cleansed? Isn't the Lord's coming meaningless? And how will the prophecy be fulfilled?
It can be seen that our understanding of Matthew 24:36, “That day and hour knows no man,” as meaning that no one will know even after the Lord has come, is completely wrong.
What is the true meaning of “that day and hour knows no man”? We all know that these verses mean that no one knows when God becomes flesh and comes to earth; that is, the day and moment of the Lord’s descent, no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but only God’s Spirit knows. But when Christ comes, and begins to perform His ministry and express the truth, people will gradually come to know from God’s utterances and words, because God becomes flesh and comes among men precisely to save man. In the last days, when Christ came in the flesh, no one knew of His arrival or welcomed His arrival. He just silently and secretly became flesh. One day, He began to speak, and at that time, people did not recognize Him. Later, He spoke chapter after chapter, more and more, like a continuous stream of living water, and only then did people suddenly realize and recognize that He is the Lord Jesus returned in the flesh. Therefore, when He begins to perform His ministry, and begins to speak and work, His words and His work are gradually known by people. Then, more and more people recognize that He is the returned Lord Jesus, and more and more people also begin to testify to the whole world that Jesus has returned. But this does not mean we knew from the very beginning. Not everyone can hear of the Lord’s return at the same time. When the first group of people recognize Him by hearing His voice, they will then proclaim and testify to this good news to more people. This fulfills the prophecy of the Lord Jesus:
“And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom comes; go you out to meet him” (Matthew 25:6).
Part 6: Blocking The Way
- The World Is Evil, and the True Way Has Been Persecuted Since Ancient Times
Brothers and sisters, do you think everyone can recognize God’s new words and welcome His return in the flesh? — Obviously not.
Actually, the Lord Jesus prophesied long ago: “For as the lightning, that lightens out of the one part under heaven, shines to the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in His day. But first must He suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation” (Luke 17:24–25).
According to man’s imaginings, when the Lord comes, people should be happy and welcome Him. Why, then, is He rejected by this generation?
Reason One: The world is evil and dark.
Actually, the Lord Jesus told us the answer long ago:
“This is an evil generation” (Luke 11:29).
“Light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil” (John 3:19).
“The whole world lies in wickedness.” (1 John 5:19)
Reason Two: God’s work always goes beyond man’s expectations and imaginings.
The true way is always opposed by the majority of people, and even by the world. From ancient times until now, God’s work has always been condemned and resisted by this evil world and corrupt mankind. Two thousand years ago, when the Lord Jesus first came to preach and work, didn’t the whole of Judaism oppose Him? That was because the manner of the Messiah’s coming was different from what they imagined. They thought He should be like a king, sitting on the throne of David. But the Lord Jesus was born into an ordinary family, had an ordinary appearance, and held no high position—completely different from the Messiah they had awaited for thousands of years, so it was very difficult for them to accept Him. It is the same today. The entire religious world is awaiting the Lord’s descent on a cloud. So when they hear that God has returned in the flesh, many find it difficult to accept, and even resist and condemn Almighty God, the incarnate God of today.
Q When you investigate the true path,
Do you think the media is trustworthy?
Do you think the majority of people represent the truth?
Do you think your family can guarantee your salvation?
- NO. The media works for money. The media does not represent God. 2,000 years ago, many people spread rumors about Jesus through word of mouth because they lacked technology. Today, online media has become a tool of Satan. Satan uses the media to blaspheme and slander God.
- NO. The majority of people do not represent the truth. The Bible clearly says, "Enter through the narrow gate, for wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction."
- If our family cannot guarantee that they will enter God's kingdom, how can they guarantee that we will enter God's kingdom?
This fulfills the words of the Lord Jesus:
“Enter you in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leads to life, and few there be that find it” (Matthew 7:13–14).
Therefore, whether it is God’s work is not determined by whether the majority of people accept it, but by whether this Son of man can express the truth and do the work of saving man.
- Blocking the way for the influence of pastors and elders
Question: Some people say, "You fellowship that God has already returned in the flesh. I need to ask my pastor because he understands the Bible better. If he believes, I will also believe. If he doesn’t believe Jesus has returned, I won’t believe either." Do you agree with this view?
Let’s consider another question: 2,000 years ago, who were the chief culprits in crucifying Jesus? — It wasn’t the Roman government, but the religious leaders—the chief priests and elders.
When many people hear that God has returned, their first reaction is to ask the pastors and elders in their church. They believe that pastors and elders are familiar with the Bible and will surely know if the Lord has returned. They think that when the Lord returns, He will first enlighten those who understand the Bible and have a high status. Is this way of thinking correct? Is it right?
Did Jesus say that when He returned, He would first let the pastors and elders know? The Lord Jesus never said such a thing. Isn't this our imagination? Two thousand years ago, what kind of people did Jesus choose? His disciples were all ordinary people, right? Tax collectors, doctors, fishermen. Did those who understood the Bible and had high status—the Pharisees, priests, and scribes—end up following Jesus? Not only did they not follow Jesus, but on the contrary, they openly arrested and condemned Him, and colluded with the Roman government to crucify Him.
This makes us reflect deeply: They spent years in the synagogues explaining the scriptures to people, yet when the Lord Jesus appeared and worked, even though they clearly knew that the Lord Jesus’ words had authority and power, they did not seek or investigate at all. Instead, they stubbornly clung to the words of the scriptures, prevented believers from accepting the true way, and ultimately crucified the Lord Jesus. Why was this?
John 11:47–48 says: “Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? For this man does many miracles. If we let Him thus alone, all men will believe on Him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.”
From this, we see that the purpose of these chief priests and Pharisees was to protect their status and secure their livelihoods. However, those Jewish people didn’t focus on discernment but blindly looked up to and worshiped the chief priests and Pharisees of the religious upper echelons. They followed them in crucifying the Lord Jesus, offended God’s disposition, and suffered the destruction of their nation. This truly fulfills the Lord Jesus’ words:
“And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch” (Matthew 15:14).
In the last days, God has once again become flesh to appear and work. What is the attitude of today’s religious world? The truths expressed by Almighty God have long been available online for people from all nations who genuinely thirst for the truth to investigate. How many pastors and elders have taken the initiative to investigate? They clearly know that Almighty God has expressed so many truths, that there are so many experiential testimonies from believers in Almighty God, and that the gospel of the kingdom has spread to all countries of the world, with so many people accepting Almighty God. Why do they still deny, reject, condemn, and resist Almighty God’s work, and even spread rumors and judge Almighty God, preventing believers from investigating His work? Are they people who truly submit to God and are loyal to God?
They see that Almighty God has expressed so many truths and worry that many in the religious world who have spiritual understanding, who can hear God’s voice, and who can understand the truth, will turn to God incarnate. They are clear in their hearts that God incarnate poses the greatest threat to their status and livelihood, so they regard God incarnate as their primary enemy. In order to protect their status and livelihood, they unscrupulously condemn, attack, and judge God, so as to prevent believers from turning to God and to stop those under them from leaving them. Aren’t their manifestations somewhat similar to those of the Pharisees back then?
If we blindly worship and place our faith in pastors and elders, and even need to ask them when it comes to welcoming the Lord’s return, entrusting our life, death, and destiny to them, then we are truly the most foolish and ignorant people, foolish virgins indeed. Aren’t we just like the foolish and ignorant Jewish people back then? They blindly followed the Pharisees and ended up walking the path of resisting God and suffering God’s punishment.
What makes the wise virgins wise? It is that, after reading God’s words, they can recognize that God’s words are the truth, and no human being could speak them. No matter what God’s words say, they can confirm that it is the truth, and are naturally able to discern the hypocritical Pharisees. All who hear Almighty God’s words and recognize them as the truth are wise virgins. They are naturally able to discern that most pastors and elders in the religious world are hypocritical Pharisees. Therefore, once wise virgins hear God’s voice and see that what God expresses is the truth, they can accept the true way without hesitation, and thus they welcome the Lord. As for those who close themselves off and cling to their old ways, and those who hear someone testifying that the Lord has returned but do not investigate or accept, they are destined not to hear God’s voice or welcome the Lord. They can only fall into the disasters and suffer punishment.
Almighty God says, “Many people may not care what I say, but I still want to tell every so-called saint who follows Jesus that, when you see Jesus descend from the heaven upon a white cloud with your own eyes, this will be the public appearance of the Sun of righteousness. Perhaps that will be a time of great excitement for you, yet you should know that the time when you witness Jesus descend from the heaven is also the time when you go down to hell to be punished. That will be the time of the end of God’s management plan and it will be when God rewards the good and punishes the evil. For the judgment of God will have ended before man sees signs, when there is only the expression of truth. Those who accept the truth and do not seek signs, and thus have been purified, shall have been brought before the throne of God and entered the Creator’s embrace. Only those who persist in the belief that ‘The Jesus who does not ride upon a white cloud is a false christ’ shall be subjected to everlasting punishment, for they only believe in the Jesus who exhibits signs, but do not acknowledge the Jesus who expresses severe judgment and releases the life and the true way. And so it can only be that Jesus deals with them when He openly returns upon a white cloud. They are too stubborn, too confident in themselves, too arrogant. How could such degenerates be rewarded by Jesus? The return of Jesus is a great salvation for those who are capable of accepting the truth, but for those who are unable to accept the truth it is a sign of condemnation. You should choose your own path, and should not blaspheme against the Holy Spirit and reject the truth. You should not be an ignorant and arrogant person, but someone who submits to the guidance of the Holy Spirit and thirsts for and seeks the truth; only in this way will you benefit. I advise you to tread the path of belief in God with care. Do not jump to conclusions; what is more, do not be casual and thoughtless in your belief in God. You should know that, at the very least, those who believe in God should possess humble and God-fearing hearts. Those who have heard the truth and yet turn their nose up at it are foolish and ignorant. Those who have heard the truth and yet carelessly jump to conclusions or condemn it are beset by arrogance. No one who believes in Jesus is qualified to curse or condemn others. You should all be someone with sense and who accepts the truth. Perhaps, having heard the way of truth and having read the word of life, you believe that only one in 10,000 of these words are in line with your viewpoints and the Bible, and then you should continue to seek in that 10,000th of these words. I still advise you to be humble, to not be over-confident, and to not exalt yourself too highly. With the bit of a God-fearing heart you possess, you will gain greater light. If you carefully examine and repeatedly contemplate these words, you shall understand whether or not they are the truth, and whether or not they are life. Perhaps, having only read a few sentences, some people will blindly condemn these words, saying, ‘This is nothing more than some enlightenment of the Holy Spirit,’ or, ‘This is a false christ come to mislead people.’ Those who say such things are blinded by ignorance! You understand too little of the work and wisdom of God, and I advise you to start again from scratch! You must not blindly condemn the words expressed by God because of the appearance of false christs during the last days, and you must not be someone who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit because you are afraid of being misled. Would that not be a great pity? If, after much examination, you still believe that these words are not the truth, are not the way, and are not the expression of God, then you shall ultimately be punished, and you shall be without blessings. If you cannot accept such truth spoken so plainly and so clearly, then are you not unfit for God’s salvation? Are you not someone who is not blessed enough to return before the throne of God? Think about it! Do not be rash and impetuous, and do not treat belief in God as a game. Think for the sake of your destination, for the sake of your prospects, for the sake of your life, and do not play yourself. Can you accept these words?”
Whether people can attain salvation in their belief in God and have a good destination hinges on whether they can welcome God’s appearance and work. Thus, being able to hear God’s voice is the most crucial thing. Almighty God has appeared and worked in the last days for over thirty years, yet many people still have not sought to hear God’s voice. Some have even believed in the Lord their whole lives, yet by their old age, they still have not heard God’s voice and have not welcomed the Lord. They have been abandoned by the Lord, and all their previous efforts have been in vain.
Therefore, whether one can hear God’s voice is the key factor that determines whether they can attain salvation and have a good destination. In the last days, Almighty God incarnate has expressed nearly ten million words of truth, yet some people are not interested in them at all. They only hope to see the Lord Jesus descending on a cloud. Faced with so many truths expressed by Almighty God, they neither listen nor pay heed, nor do they seek or investigate, but instead blindly judge and condemn. Such people are the tares and evil ones revealed by God’s work in the last days, and they are bound to be rejected, eliminated, and punished by God.
The Lord has returned; this is the most important event in our lives, and it concerns our outcome and destination. I sincerely hope that brothers and sisters can treat this matter with seriousness and caution, and not blindly pass judgment or give up investigating the true way. Just as Almighty God admonishes us:
“Do not be rash and impetuous, and do not treat belief in God as a game. Think for the sake of your destination, for the sake of your prospects, for the sake of your life, and do not play yourself.”
Therefore, no matter how many confusions you may have, I hope you will continue to attend the sermons for the next four days. I believe that as long as we have a humble and seeking heart, we will be able to seek truth and answers in the words of Almighty God.
- Do Not Tell Others
Today we have heard that the Lord Jesus has returned. This is good news, and many people are anxious to share this good news with those around them that God has returned. However, we are just beginning to learn now, and we cannot yet explain it clearly to them. In this way, not only will they be unable to accept this good news, but it will also hinder them from receiving God’s salvation. Just as 2,000 years ago, the Lord Jesus reminded His disciples:
📖 Mark 8:29–30: “And He said to them, But whom say you that I am? And Peter answers and said to Him, You are the Christ. And He charged them that they should tell no man of Him.”
📖 Matthew 16:20: “Then charged He His disciples that they should tell no man that He was Jesus the Christ.”
Because people have many notions and imaginings about God, if you directly tell those around you that God has come, they will not be able to understand. Instead, they will judge and resist. In this way, by sinning with their lips and condemning God, they will lose God’s salvation. You can study first, and after you have learned more and can testify clearly, you can then preach to them, or you can invite them to attend the fellowship so they can learn step by step from the beginning, rather than directly telling them that the Lord Jesus has already returned.
【Review question, send one by one please 】
Q By joining our fellowship these days, do you think our Lord Jesus has already come back a second time? Or He is coming soon?
Q Do you think He has come back as normal flesh? Or as a spirit?
Invitation for next topic 5
Through today’s fellowship, we are all fortunate to have heard the voice of God and to have the opportunity to welcome the return of the Lord Jesus. Many people are curious about God becoming human again to save humanity. In fact, the incarnation is a great mystery, one that we have never heard of before in our previous Bible readings. This is a mystery that no one has told us in the past two thousand years, but God’s return in the last days has revealed this mystery. Would you like to understand this mystery?
Some brothers and sisters may not understand: Is the topic of the incarnation important for us? Is it something we must learn? Yes, we all know that two thousand years ago, because people didn’t understand what it meant for God to become human, they nailed God to the cross, committing an enormous sin. If, in the last days, we do not understand the truth about this matter, could we make the same mistake as the Jews, condemning God, who has again become flesh in these days?
Additionally, many brothers and sisters are worried that false Christs and false prophets will rise in the last days to deceive God's chosen people, and thus they hesitate to investigate the truth of the Lord’s return. Would you like to know how to distinguish between the true and false Christs, so we can successfully welcome the Lord’s return?
The Lord Jesus has returned and brought many truths with Him. We welcome you to join our sermon tomorrow, where all your doubts will be answered. Are you willing to continue seeking more truth?
🤔Can I count on you tomorrow night for deeper truth? (Yes or No)
