Although there are so many people who believe in God, not
so many people know what is believing in God and how on earth
to do can suit God's will. The reason is that people know
the word "God" and know the words "God's work"
but they don't know God or God's work. No wonder all the people
who don't know God are all foolish believers. People are not
careful with believing in God because this is strange to them.
So people are far away from God's demands. That is to say,
people don't know God or know God's work and they can not
be qualified to be used or satisfy God's will. "Believing
in God" is to believe there is a god, this is the simplest
conception. To say further, "believing in a god"
is not really "believing in God" but a simple belief
with strong religious coloring. The real "believing in
God" is that people experience God's words and work on
the base of believing that God is the master of all creatures
and their bad character can be put off and satisfy God's will
and know God. But people always regard believing in God as
simple and superficial. So believers lose the meaning of believing
in God. And at last God can't praise you because your way
is not right. Those who still believe in the dead words and
the empty theory still can't know they don't have the essence
of believing in God and they never can gain God's praise.
They still pray that God protects them peacefully and they
can gain more grace. Let us calm down and think it over. Is
that to believe in God the simplest thing? Is the meaning
of believing in God limited to get grace? Can those who don't
know God or say against God satisfy God's will?
"God" and "man" can't be
mentioned in the same breath. His essence and work are both
unsearchable and puzzling. If God doesn't work or speak among
people by himself and there's no way for people to know God's
will. So even if those who devote the whole life to God can't
gain God's praise. If God doesn't work, it'll be worthless
even if people work hard because God's thoughts are higher
than people's thoughts and God's wisdom can't be measured.
So I say those who can see through God and his work are all
incompetent and arrogant. People shouldn't determine God's
work. What's more, people CANNOT determine God's work. People
are not as big as ants in God's eyes. How can they see through
God's work? Aren't those who say "God won't do this or
do that" and "God is like this or that" arrogant?
We should know people who live in the flesh are all corrupted
by Satan and their nature is to against God. They can't be
the same high as God and can't plan for God. How on earth
God enlightens and leads people is God's business. People
should obey and shouldn't have these or those ideas because
people are only dust. Since you intend to seek for God, you
shouldn't put your conception in God's work to let God consult.
You shouldn't deliberately rebel against God's work with your
corrupted nature. Aren't you anti-Christ? How can such people
talk about believing in God? Since we believe in God and want
to satisfy God's will and want to see God we should seek the
path of the truth and the path to be compatible with God and
we shouldn't say against God with stiff neck. What will you
get if you do so?
Now God has done new work. Maybe you can't accept
the fact or feel strange but I still persuade you shouldn't
expose your natural character because only those who really
hunger and thirst for the truth and the righteousness and
only those who are devout can get God's enlightening and leading.
You can't get the truth with quarrelling and you must calm
down and can get it. What I say "now God has done new
work'' is referred to God in the flesh again. Perhaps you
don't mind these words or feel disgusting or are interested
in them. Anyhow, I still hope all the people who hunger and
thirst for the righteousness can confront with the fact and
check out it with care. You'd better not draw a conclusion
with ease and this is what wise people should do.
It's not difficult to check out the matter.
It needs us to know such truth first: since he is God in the
flesh and he must have God's essence and have God's statements.
Since God comes in the flesh, he will bring the new work and
will state God's temperament and bring the truth and the life
and the path. If the flesh doesn't have God's essence then
he is definitely not God in the flesh. This is not doubtful.
People should decide whether or not he is the God in the flesh
according to his temperament and words he states. That is
to say, if you want to know whether or not he is the God in
the flesh or the truth you should recognize him from his essence.
So the important thing is his essence (work, words, temperament
and etc. more sides), not his appearance. If people ignore
his essence because of checking out his appearance, then this
is people's ignorance. The appearance can't decide the essence
and God's work doesn't suit people's conception. Doesn't Jesus'
appearance suit people's conception? Can his appearance and
dressing prove his real position? Did the Pharisees say against
Jesus at that time because they only saw Jesus' appearance
but didn't accept Jesus' words carefully? I hope every sister
or brother who is eager to wait for God to appear won't repeat
the historic tragedy or act as Pharisees to crucify God again.
You should think it over how you welcome God's coming again.
You should clear up your brains that how you obey the truth.
This is the duty of those who wait for Jesus' coming back
with white clouds. We should remove the scales from our spiritual
eyes and not soak into the vague words. We should think about
God's work now and see God's practical side. Don't be swollen-headed
always. We shouldn't be always drifting leisurely and wish
that Jesus would descend among you with some white cloud in
the sky and come to lift you up who never know him or see
him or know how to obey his will. Let us think about the reality.
When you turn over this book. Maybe you intent
to study, maybe you want to accept it. Whatever attitude you
have, I hope you can finish reading this book. Don't give
it up with ease. Perhaps when you finish reading it, you will
change your attitude and it's all decided by your intention
and your understanding. But you should know this point: God's
words can't be said to be man's words. Man's words can't be
said to be God's words. The man who the Spirit uses is not
God in the flesh. The God in the flesh is not the man the
Spirit uses. There's difference between them in essence. Maybe
after you read these words, you won't admit they're God's
words and only admit they are the illumination that people
gain from the Spirit. Then you are so ignorant. How can God's
words be the same as people's illumination? The words from
God in the flesh start the new era and guide the world. They
open the mystery and bestow people the direction of the way
in the new era. People's illumination is only some simple
practice or understanding. They can't lead people to enter
the new age. They can't open God's own secrets. God is God
and man is man. God has God's essence and man has man's essence.
If people regard God's words as simple spiritual illumination
but regard the prophets' words as God's words and then it's
people's fault. Anyhow, you shouldn't confound right and wrong.
You shouldn't tell the high as the low or the deep as the
simple. Anyhow, you shouldn't deliberately refute it as you
know plainly it is the truth. As a believer, you should check
out the problem at the right position and standing at the
position of a creature to receive God's new work and new words.
Otherwise, God will forsake you.
Jesus came in the flesh to work among people
after Jehovah's work. His work was based on Jehovah's work
and it's not the whole part but one part. It's a new wave
after God finished the wave in the last era. The same, God
still continues his work in next age after Jesus' work for
God's management develops forth all the time. The old age
passes and the new age will take place. The new work will
continue God's managed plan after the old work finishes. God
becomes the flesh this time and it is the second time after
Jesus' work. Of course word in flesh this time is not separated
from the last time, either, but it is the third step of the
work after the Law Era and the Grace Era. God always has a
new start when he develops every step of his work and always
brings a new era. And God's temperament, work style, the work
place and his name will change with the work step. No wonder
it's difficult for people to accept God's work in the new
era. However people rebel God, he's still doing his work and
leading the world to go forth. Jesus came to the world to
finish the Law Era and bring the Grace Era. In the end, God
came in the flesh again and brought the Kingdom Era and finished
the Grace Era. All those who receive God in the flesh again
can be taken to the Kingdom Era and receive God's guide. Jesus
came to the world to do a lot of work. But he only finished
the work of the salvation as a sacrifice and he didn't sweep
away people's corrupted nature at all. In order to save people
out of Satan's control completely, God not only bears people's
sins as Jesus as a sacrifice but also does greater work to
sweep away people's corruption. So after people's sins are
forgiven, God comes back in the flesh to lead people to enter
the new era and starts the judgement. These words bring people
to the higher state. All those who obey him will enjoy higher
truth and greater blessings. They really live in the light
and gain the truth, the path and the life.
If people still stay in the Grace Era, they
can never put off their corrupted character or know God's
original temperament. If you always live in the rich grace
but you don't have the path of life to make you know and satisfy
God then people can't really have God. Such belief is so wretched.
After you read this book and experience every step of the
work in the Kingdom Era, you'll feel that your will for many
years is accomplished at last and only now you see God face
to face, see God's face, hear his voice and appreciate God's
wisdom in his work. You really feel that God is so practical
and so almighty. You'll feel you get many things that the
ancestor couldn't see or get. This time you'll know clearly
what on earth is to believe in God and what can suit God's
will. Of course if you still keep your points before and refuse
God in the flesh again then you can only gain nothing and
at last have a charge of rebellion. Those who obey the truth
and God's work will be under the name of God in the flesh
again--the Almighty. They will receive God's own guide and
get more and higher truth and the real life and see what he
prophesied that the ancestor never saw: I turned round to
see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned I
saw seven golden lampstands, and among the lampstands was
someone "like a son of man", dressed in a robe reaching
down to his feet and with a golden sash round his chest. His
head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and
his eyes were like blazing fire. His feet were like bronze
glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of
rushing waters. In his right hand he held seven stars, and
out of his mouth came a sharp double-edged sword. His face
was like the sun shining in all its brilliance (Rev.1: 12-16).
This prophecy is the statement of God's whole temperament.
This is just the statement that God in the flesh works this
time. In the judgement, the son of man states his original
temperament with speaking and let all those who accept his
judgement see the real appearance of the son of man. This
appearance is just the real portrayal of the appearance of
he son of man that John saw (of course, those who don't accept
the work in the Kingdom Era can't see at all). God's real
appearance can't be described well by mankind's language.
So God states his temperament to show his appearance. That
is to say, all those who can understand the original temperament
of the son of man will see his original appearance because
God is so great that people can't describe him with their
language.
When people experience every step of God's work
in the Kingdom Era, you'll know the real meaning that John
said about the son of man among the lampstands "His head
and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes
were like blazing fire. His feet were like bronze glowing
in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing
waters. In his right hand he held seven stars, and out of
his mouth came a sharp double-edged sword. His face was like
the sun shining in all its brilliance." At that time
you'll completely decide that the common flesh who says so
many words is really God in the flesh again and you'll really
feel that you'll be blessed too much and feel you are the
luckiest man. Are you willing to receive the blessing?
The first part of this book is what the Spirit
says to the churches. This part is the bridge from the Grace
Era to the Kingdom Era and also that the Spirit testified
the son of man to the churches openly. These words fulfilled
the words in the revelation, "He who has an ear, let
him hear what the Spirit says to the churches." This
is the start of God's work in the Kingdom Era. The second
part is the voice of the son of man after appearing. This
part includes the prophecy, revealing the mystery, the path
of life and etc. several kinds of the word of God. The contents
are rich and colorful. Some are the prophecy of the future
of the kingdom. Some words open the mystery of the managed
plan. Some words dissect people's nature. Some words persuade
and comfort you, some warn you, some are serious judge and
some are earnest and sincere comfort. Some talk about the
life and some about the practice and etc. Anyway, all God's
temperament is stated in his work and words. Of course, God
comes in the flesh this time to work to state his temperament
with his judgement mainly. On the base, he brings more truth
and guides more practice so as to accomplish the purpose of
conquering and saving people and sweeping away people's corruption.
This is the inside story of God's work in the kingdom era.
Do you want to enter the new era? Do you want to take off
your corrupted nature? Do you want to gain higher truth? Do
you want to see the original appearance of the son of man?
Do you want to have a valuable life? Do you want to be made
perfect? Then how will you welcome Jesus' return?
