Hi everyone, I'm Angelo.
We all know that two thousand years ago,
God came incarnate to the world of man as the Lord Jesus to redeem humankind,
and He preached,
He also expressed much truth,
and to complete the work of redemption,
He was crucified on the cross as humankind's sin offering,
thereby concluding the Age of Law and beginning the Age of Grace.
This was the work done to redeem humankind the first time God came incarnate.
Although Judaism tried desperately to condemn the Lord Jesus
and joined with the Roman government to nail Him to the cross,
two thousand years later,
the Lord Jesus' gospel has spread to every corner of the earth.
This proves that the Lord Jesus was the incarnate God,
the one true God and Creator who appeared to work in the flesh.
Yet many people do not recognize that the Lord Jesus is God incarnate.
Instead, they treat the Lord Jesus as an ordinary person.
Even many pastors in religion don't recognize that the Lord Jesus is God,
and only think He is the beloved Son of God.
Today, although there are countless believers in the Lord,
few people actually know that the Lord Jesus is God,
and no one knows the meaning and value of all the truths expressed by the Lord Jesus.
So, in the matter of welcoming the Lord,
many have fallen into disaster because they cannot hear God's voice.
For those who can't hear God's voice,
although they outwardly seem to believe passionately,
if they saw the image of the Son of man in the Lord Jesus,
would they really be able to continue believing in the Lord and following Him?
Would they be able to condemn the Lord Jesus as an ordinary person
and deny that He is God?
If they heard the Lord Jesus expressing so much truth today,
would they still be able to condemn the Lord Jesus for saying blasphemy
and nail Him to the cross again?
Based on the fact of the Pharisees' condemnation of the Lord Jesus,
we can say with certainty that
if all those who believe in the Lord today
really saw Him in His original image as the Son of man,
many people would be likely to run away,
and many more would judge and condemn the Lord Jesus, just like the Pharisees,
and would again nail Him to the cross.
Some might object when I phrase things like this,
but everything I say is a fact.
It is precisely because humankind is corrupted so deeply,
and only relies on eyes for their faith in God,
that no one could recognize that the incarnate Son of man is the appearance of God.
This shows that the incarnation is a great mystery.
For thousands of years, no one has been able to understand this aspect of truth.
Although believers know that the Lord Jesus is the incarnate God,
no one has been able to clearly explain what the incarnation is
and how we should understand the incarnate God.
So, why did God decide to incarnate in the flesh to appear and work?
Speaking precisely,
humankind's corruption required God to come incarnate to do the work of salvation.
In other words,
only coming incarnate could accomplish the complete salvation of humankind.
God came incarnate twice to redeem and save humankind.
The Lord Jesus was the incarnate God,
and He came to do the work of redemption.
Some might ask,
Why didn't God use a person to do the work of redemption?
Why did God incarnate?
Because every member of corrupt humankind carries sin, we are all sinners,
meaning that there were no qualified sin offerings.
Only the incarnate Son of man was without sin,
so God incarnated as the Son of man to take on the work of redemption Himself.
Only this truly showed God's righteousness and holiness,
completely humiliated Satan and left it without grounds to accuse God.
This also allowed humankind to know God's sincere love and mercy for them.
When the Lord Jesus finished His work of redemption,
He prophesied that He would come again.
Today, the Lord Jesus has returned, and is the incarnate Almighty God.
Almighty God has expressed much truth
and does the work of judgment in the last days
to completely purify humankind's corruption,
to save humankind from sin and the power of Satan,
and to bring mankind to a beautiful destination.
Yet what is unexpected is that,
although Almighty God has expressed so much truth,
He is still wildly resisted and condemned
by the forces of antichrists in the religious world,
who have even joined hands with the ruling CCP
to attempt to block, ruin, and ban God's appearance and work in the last days.
They do their utmost to deny that Almighty God is the appearance of the incarnate God,
and also condemn and blaspheme Almighty God as an ordinary person,
which completely exposes the ugly face of antichrist forces in the religious world
as those who hate the truth and resist God.
If we look back two thousand years,
we can see that the chief priests, scribes, and Pharisees of Judaism
would rather die than accept the Lord Jesus as the Messiah.
They characterized the Lord Jesus as an ordinary person who spoke blasphemy,
they did all they could to resist, condemn, and blaspheme the Lord Jesus,
and finally they nailed Him to the cross,
committing a heinous crime for which they were cursed and punished by God.
Today, Almighty God appears and works in the image of the Son of man.
Many people have seen that the words expressed by Almighty God are the truth,
they've heard the voice of God,
and they've happily accepted God's work of the last days and welcomed the Lord.
However, there are many people who don't know the incarnate God,
who still treat Almighty God as an ordinary person,
and who also judge and condemn all those who accept Almighty God,
saying they believe in an ordinary person.
These people think they understand the Bible,
so they refuse to investigate the true way
and frantically condemn and resist Almighty God,
committing the sin of crucifying God all over again.
Why have both of God's two incarnations been condemned and rejected by man?
It is because people don't know God, don't understand what truth is,
and even less understand the great mystery of the incarnation.
It is also because humans are deeply corrupted and have satanic natures.
They not only loathe and hate the truth,
they're also wildly hostile to God and have no fear at all.
In fact, there are some rather pious believers in God
who have been deceived by the CCP, the king of demons, and religious antichrist forces
due to their ignorance
and taken the path of resisting God.
The reason for their failure is lack of knowledge about the incarnation and the truth,
so they are unable to hear God's voice,
and therefore treat the incarnate God as an ordinary person
as well as condemn and blaspheme Him.
It is plain to see that understanding of the truth of incarnation
is vital for us to welcome the Lord and be lifted up into the kingdom of heaven.
It is a critical issue related to our final destination.
Many people will ask,
Since the Lord Jesus is God incarnate and has done the work of redemption,
and humankind has already been saved and turned toward God,
why does God still need to come incarnate in the last days
to do the work of judgment to save humankind?
There is a very profound meaning in this.
To put it simply,
God coming twice incarnate to redeem humankind,
and then to completely purify and save us
was predetermined by God long before the world was created.
There are many prophecies in the Bible
stating that God would come incarnate twice as the Son of man.
The first time, through the crucifixion as a sin offering,
He completed the work of redemption, so that people's sins were forgiven,
but people did not escape from sin and attain holiness.
The second time, through expressing the truth and the work of judgment,
He will thoroughly purify humankind,
completely save humankind from sin and the influence of Satan,
bring an end to the era, and bring mankind to a beautiful destination.
Therefore, the two incarnations are meant to redeem humankind,
and then to completely save humankind.
God comes incarnate twice to complete His management plan to save humankind.
Today, Almighty God's work of judgment in the last days
has conquered and perfected a group of people into overcomers,
God has defeated Satan and gained glory,
and it can be said that God has completed His great work.
These are things God has already done.
Now we can see the incredible significance of God's incarnation in the last days.
On one hand, it ended the old age, the Age of Grace,
and began a new age, the Age of Kingdom.
On the other, it completely purifies and saves mankind,
and brings humankind to a beautiful destination.
Both the work of redemption and the work of judgment
are completed by the incarnate God,
so God's two incarnations are indeed of profound significance.
Today,
Almighty God has expressed so much truth and done such great things in our world,
but why are there still so many people who don't know God's work?
Many people still refuse to admit that Almighty God is the incarnate God,
cling to religious notions, believe that only the Lord Jesus is God,
and insist that only by keeping to the Bible can they enter the kingdom of heaven.
What a foolish and ignorant thing to do!
How could such foolish people ever hear the voice of God?
And how could they discover all the truth expressed by Almighty God?
Ultimately, this is because people lack knowledge of the incarnate God
and can't recognize God's voice,
so they can't be lifted up before God's throne.
These ignorant people, these foolish virgins,
will never win God's approval no matter how many years they believe.
Clearly, if you want to welcome the Lord,
knowledge of the incarnate God and understanding of the truth of incarnation is crucial!
So, what exactly is the incarnation?
And how should we understand the incarnation?
How can we distinguish between true and false Christs?
We will understand after reading Almighty God's word.
God's word states clearly that
incarnation is the realization of God's Spirit in the flesh,
which is to say that God's Spirit puts on flesh to become an ordinary person,
and then appears and works in the human world.
Simply put, it means that God's Spirit puts on the flesh and becomes the Son of man.
Outwardly,
the incarnate God is a normal, ordinary person,
someone neither lofty nor extraordinary,
who eats, clothes Himself, and transports Himself just like ordinary people
and lives an ordinary life.
He needs to eat when He's hungry and sleep when He's tired,
He experiences normal human emotions,
He really and actually lives among man,
and no one can see that He is the practical God incarnate.
Yet despite being such a normal, ordinary person,
there is a substantial difference between Him and created humans.
He is the incarnation of God, and God's Spirit is within Him.
He has normal humanity, but also complete divinity,
which is visible and tangible.
It manifests mainly in that He can express the truth
and reveal mysteries at any time or place.
He can express and testify God's disposition, all that God has and is,
God's mind, God's thoughts, God's love, and God's omnipotence and wisdom,
so that all people can know and understand God.
He can also reveal all the mysteries in the Bible,
which means that He can open the scroll prophesied in Revelation.
It proves that He has complete divinity.
Outwardly, Christ is an ordinary person,
but He's able to express so much truth,
awaken people, and save corrupt humankind from Satan's influence.
Without God's Spirit within them, how could anyone do these things?
Certainly no celebrity or great man could do such things,
because no celebrity or great man can express the truth.
They possess no truth at all.
They couldn't even save themselves, so how could they save all mankind?
The incarnate God can express the truth
and do the work of judgment to purify and save mankind,
which are abilities no human possesses.
The book The Word Appears in the Flesh is the utterance of God in the last days,
and is testimony of God's work of judgment in the last days.
As God's chosen people have experienced God's work of judgment in the last days
and accepted the watering and shepherding of Almighty God Himself,
they have all felt the deep practicality of the work of the incarnate God.
God really and truly lives among people,
and expresses the truth based on our actual situation to support and supply us,
as well as to expose our deviations in belief in God,
mistaken pursuits and viewpoints,
and all manner of satanic dispositions within us,
so that we can gain knowledge and change.
God also tells us His desires and requirements for people,
giving us the most practical and accurate goals to pursue and principles to practice,
so that we can enter into the realities of truth,
receive God's salvation, and completely escape from the dark forces of Satan.
Anyone who follows Almighty God experiences deeply that
without the incarnate God coming to express the truth to judge and chastise people,
they would never be able to recognize their sinful natures,
nor would they be able to escape the bondage and constraints of sin.
They also realize
only by accepting God's judgment and chastisement
can their corrupt dispositions be cleansed,
only through knowledge of God's righteous disposition
can they fear God and shun evil,
and only through living by God's word can they live out a true human likeness,
be qualified to receive God's promises and blessings,
and be brought into the kingdom of heaven.
Consider this:
Without the incarnate God coming and expressing so much truth in the last days,
would we ever have this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be saved?
Would we be able to receive God's judgment and chastisement
and enjoy God's bountiful blessings?
Without God's incarnation in the last days,
all of humanity would be doomed to destruction,
and no one would receive salvation.
It's just as Almighty God's word says,
At this point, some people may ask,
The incarnate God's outward appearance is ordinary,
and His divinity is hidden within His flesh,
so if God has come, how can we recognize Him as the incarnate God?
The words of Almighty God show us the way.
From God's word,
we can see that recognition of God incarnate is not based on His appearance,
nor based on what family He was born in,
whether He has position or power, or whether He has prestige in the religious world.
It is not based on these things.
Instead, it is based on whether He has the essence of God,
whether He can express the truth and do the work of God Himself.
This is the most crucial element.
If He can express the truth and do the work of saving humankind,
then even if He was born to an ordinary family and lacks power and position in society,
He is God.
Just like in the Age of Grace,
when the Lord Jesus came to work, He was born in an ordinary family,
came into the world in a manger,
He wasn't tall or powerfully built, and He had no status or power,
yet He could express the truth, gave people the way of repentance,
and could forgive people's sins.
Those who loved the truth, like His disciples Peter and John,
saw in the Lord Jesus' work and the truth He expressed
that He had God's power and authority
and recognized the Lord Jesus as the Messiah,
so they followed Him and gained the Lord's salvation.
Today, God has again come incarnate to the human world,
and even though He outwardly appears to be an ordinary person,
Almighty God can express much truth and does the work of judgment in the last days.
Many in all countries and places have seen the truth expressed by Almighty God,
recognized God's voice, accepted Almighty God,
and been lifted up before God's throne.
They have begun to experience God's judgment and chastisement,
and understood some truth.
They all have wonderful experiences and testimony,
and give their all to preach the gospel and testify God.
The facts prove that
only someone who can express the truth,
judge and purify people, and completely save humankind
is Christ and the incarnate God.
This is undeniable.
If someone can't express the truth,
and can only deceive others by showing signs and wonders,
this is the work of an evil spirit.
If they call themselves God, they are false Christs who are impersonating God.
To know the incarnate God, we need to be certain of this fact:
Only the incarnate God can express the truth,
do the work of judgment in the last days,
and completely save humankind from the forces of Satan.
Almighty God has expressed so much truth and done such great work in the last days,
yet there are many people who turn a blind eye,
and merely wait for the Lord Jesus to come openly on a cloud.
Such people will weep and gnash their teeth as they are destroyed in the disaster.
This fulfills the prophecy in Revelation:
Almighty God also says,
Finally, let's read a passage of Almighty God's word.
Alright, that's all for our fellowship on the topic
"what is the incarnation."
