Almighty God is the second coming of the Lord Jesus.
His work of judgment is for sure the work of God in the last days.
This deserves our seeking, deserves our investigation.
In the past, we all blindly followed pastors, controlled by them,
and thought that faith must be based on the Bible,
and that God's word was only ever recorded in the Bible.
Some of the pastors' views are quite problematic.
We can no longer be controlled by these wrong views.
We need to seek the truth, not worship pastors.
We can't blindly trust their biblical knowledge.
I must seek it and not wait any longer.
That's good!
Let's all go to the Church of Almighty God tomorrow!
Oh, yes. Praise the Lord.
You're all early!
Hello. Hi! How are you? Good to see you.
Good evening. Hi, how are you?
Welcome. Hello. So good to see you. Thank you for coming. Please sit here.
What are you all so captivated by?
Ah, some videos from the Church of Almighty God.
From the Church of Almighty God?
Ah, is that so?
The songs are really fascinating.
Here, let's look. (Hmm. OK. Sure.)
Wow! This song is amazing!
We should watch another one!
Yeah, it's beautiful.
The Church of Almighty God's website has lots of other songs.
Yes, let's hear another. (Yeah, let's do that.)
Wow! These videos are really amazing!
I know. And aren't the songs wonderful?
The visuals are so relaxing,
and the words, such fresh lyrics.
Tell me, who wrote such practical words?
It's really an inspiring video.
It says the appearance of God is for God become flesh to save mankind.
It's so new to me.
Isn't this the same as the appearance and work of Lord Jesus?
It's not how we always thought the Lord would appear to us,
riding upon the clouds.
God's appearance is mysterious, and we should seek the truth.
It's worthy of our time!
You know, this is pretty different.
Could God have come to perform His work again? (Seems so.)
I won't hide this anymore.
Yes, this past year,
I've been reading a great deal about the words of Almighty God online.
I've been studying Almighty God's work.
The more I read of these words, the more enlightened I become.
This is the true way I know it in my heart. (The true way?)
I should look this up online too. Sounds good.
You should all watch the videos of the Church of Almighty God
and listen to His words.
Don't isolate yourself or risk being abandoned by the Lord for not listening.
Yes, I see.
All these years we've relied on our own imagination,
thinking the Lord would return with clouds.
So we keep waiting and waiting.
But all these years, we've never seen the Lord Jesus arrive upon the clouds.
Yet we never dared imagine
that the Lord would return as the Son of man and in China.
China?
He came to China to express the truth to mankind,
and to cleanse and save us all.
He came to perform His work of judgment beginning with the house of God,
and open up the mysteries of God's management plan, and show us the truth.
All truth we need, the truth we seek to understand
are found in the words of Almighty God.
My eyes have been opened.
It fulfills what Lord Jesus promised,
These words from Almighty God
are the very same words the Holy Spirit said to the churches
in the Book of Revelation.
Now the words of Almighty God and testimonies from God's chosen people
can all be found online free to be researched by anyone.
Almighty God's words truly do carry authority, power, and are truths.
No one dares to deny the words and expression of Almighty God.
Many people who have examined this online
have accepted the work of Almighty God in the last days.
Many people in the religious world are awakening.
This truly shows to me Almighty God is the second coming of the Lord Jesus.
His work of judgment is for sure the work of God in the last days.
This deserves our seeking, deserves our investigation.
Yes. Amen. He is right.
This is really surprising.
We've been waiting for the Lord's arrival for so long.
I should hurry and look into this.
Elder Lee, what he said makes a lot of sense to me.
Elder Im, seems this new way is worth looking into.
But you say Almighty God is the return of Lord Jesus,
and that He has spoken much truth to do the work of God's judgment.
But I don't know.
The Bible does not say it this way. (Amen.)
All of God's words and work can be found in the Bible.
God's salvation work is completed. (Amen.)
When the Lord returns, we will be taken into the kingdom of heaven.
How can there be more words and work of God outside of the Bible? (Amen.)
It's not possible.
Convince me, or I won't be able to fully accept it.
Elder Im, for so many years you've worked and preached with us here.
All of God's word is in the Bible.
You should know there can be no word of God outside the Bible.
Our preaching must be based in the Bible.
Our faith is with the Bible. (Amen.)
So why are you leading others
to instead read Almighty God's word on the Internet?
Is this not moving away from the word of the Lord?
Why shouldn't he share this with us?
One second. Please let me finish my thought.
Brothers and sisters, listen.
All of God's words are found in the Bible.
Our faith in the Lord must be based on the words in the Bible alone. (Amen.)
Departing from the Bible is resisting, betraying the Lord. (Amen.)
Amen!
You should confess, repent and ask for forgiveness.
Amen!
The Lord's words are all right in the Bible.
To depart from the Bible is to betray the Lord. (Amen.)
Elder Im, the prophecies for the Lord's return have been fulfilled.
The day of the Lord's coming has arrived.
At any time, the Lord could come back to receive us.
It's our job to lead believers to read and to hold onto the Bible.
What will satisfy the Lord is watching for His return. (Amen.)
Then we won't be abandoned when He comes.
So why would you follow a way outside of what the Bible tells us is the way?
You may think the Lord's word is all in the Bible,
and that there's no way the Lord would say anything outside of there.
Well, I have a question for you.
If the Lord Jesus returned to earth,
could what He said be recorded in the Bible?
How would you clarify that?
The Bible was compiled by man.
Remember, the New Testament wasn't done till about 300 years
after Lord Jesus ascended.
This is a fact you should know.
So would the words of the returned Lord Jesus automatically appear in the Bible?
Have you considered this before?
That does seem to make sense.
It's something I've never really thought much about before.
I too once accepted the false traditions of the religious world,
thinking all God's words were in the Bible,
and that there would be no more of the Lord's word when He returns to earth.
But then, after studying the Bible,
I realized that the Lord wouldn't possibly just be silent when He returns.
The Lord performs His work through His word.
If He says nothing, how can He perform the work of the last days?
How will this promise be fulfilled?
Therefore, it is undeniable when the Lord returns
that He will definitely speak to us.
But how could these new words He speaks
automatically appear in the pages of the Bible?
When God did His work in the Age of Law,
and the Lord Jesus did His work in the Age of Grace,
His words did not appear in the Bible automatically.
It was years after God completed His work
that the people used by God wrote them in the Bible.
Don't people realize this?
If man is this foolish, then they are beyond saving.
When Lord Jesus did His work,
He knew corrupt mankind had never seen God's appearance,
and that when they first truly came to see God in the flesh,
they would not be able to truly know God.
So Lord Jesus said to men,
The Lord Jesus clearly told man there are many things He hasn't said.
Because at that time He knew man could not bear them.
So Lord Jesus prophesied that He would come again in the last days,
and tell mankind all the truths and things to come.
If all of God's words are already in the Bible,
how could these words of Lord Jesus come true?
The Book of Revelation also says,
"He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit said to the churches,"
as well as "the hidden manna," the Lamb opening the book, and others.
Now we can be sure:
When the Lord returns, He would certainly express truth
and perform the work of judgment beginning at the house of God.
He spoke of the parables of the kingdom of heaven,
and of separating wheat and tares, sheep and goats and good and evil servants.
These prophecies are proof that God still has work for the last days.
He still must speak and do His work.
The judgment work of Almighty God
completely fulfills the prophecy of the return of the Lord.
This is undeniable fact.
If people think God's words and work are only in the Bible,
and there's no way God's words and work can exist outside of the Bible,
this is just heretical.
It disrupts God's work and deceives people.
Just an obstacle preventing people from accepting God's new work.
Don't you understand yet?
God's words and work are not just found in the Bible then. (Yeah.)
This must be true.
Elder Im, your fellowship makes me feel ashamed.
The Bible has many parts that say at the Lord's return,
He will surely speak more of His word.
Though we know the Bible so well, why would we ignore these passages?
We've been arrogant, judging with our imagination,
thinking all God's words and work are in the Bible,
and that there's no God's word or work outside the Bible.
If that were true, these prophecies could never come true.
We really are foolish and ignorant.
Elder Im, your fellowship today has brought out the light.
So you have accepted Almighty God long ago.
Why didn't you say anything to us then about investigating this work?
That's right! Oh, yeah. Right.
Now you know more than the rest of us. Why'd you leave us behind? (Yeah.)
Yeah, is that appropriate?
After this fellowship today, it seems the way of Almighty God is the true way.
Yes, it is.
You understand more of the truth than we do.
We have kept the return of the Lord in our imaginations.
What's worse is we've defined God in the Bible,
thinking God's work is only found there,
and that there's no way God could ever possibly come to perform His new work.
Now this view seems like a mistake in our thinking.
How could the word and work of the returned Lord Jesus in the last days
be recorded in the Bible?
We have been too foolish and ignorant not to realize this sooner.
Yes, yes.
I need to read more of Almighty God's word to learn
and to understand more of the truth,
and keep up with God's work. (Yeah.)
Yes.
What Elder Im is saying accords with the truth, and we should listen carefully.
Pastors often say that God's words and work are all recorded in the Bible,
and that our faith in God must be in the Bible alone.
But this is surely a fallacy.
How have we not seen this before?
What is the problem?
When Elder Im tells us of Almighty God's word,
we're able to understand it and see past religious errors.
This shows for certain that Almighty God's word is definitely the truth.
Only the truth makes us distinguish and understand clearly.
Amen.
Now we need to seek the truth, not worship pastors.
We can't blindly trust their biblical knowledge.
We should go learn more about the words of Almighty God online,
so that we all have hope of being raptured. (Amen!)
We should take a look at the website together.
I think so too.
If only we'd studied Almighty God's word earlier,
we could have seen through the fallacies long ago.
That's true. So it is.
We shouldn't waste time, don't you think?
We should hurry and read up on it right away.
Elder Im,
none of us knew you'd been studying Almighty God's word all this past year.
It's surprising.
I can see your fellowship today is full of light and in line with the truth.
So it seems the Eastern Lightning really does have the truth.
I'm not opposed to that.
But I just don't understand
why so many pastors resist and condemn Almighty God,
and stop believers from seeking out the truth
and learning about Almighty God's work.
If you really think about it,
pastors are serving God and knowing the Bible well,
they should have some knowledge of God.
So if this is the truth, and the Eastern Lightning is the true way,
then why would they condemn and resist them?
This problem troubles me. I'd like to hear your thoughts.
Yes, please tell us!
Elder Im, you found the courage on your own to seek God's work online
and not be held down by religious pastors,
which isn't easy.
Your faith and courage inspire us all. (Yes.)
Tell us, how did you first seek the work of Almighty God?
Oh, yes, please. Please tell us.
When I saw many pastors were condemning them,
I truly think this didn't feel like it was the Lord's will.
I saw their arrogance, condemning the Eastern Lightning
and growing more rampant every day in their criticism.
They had no basis, no facts to back up their exaggerations and stories.
Many also quoted the Bible but out of context.
I just felt this wasn't from the Holy Spirit at all.
Everyone saying these types of things seemed to have malice, ulterior motives.
I felt there was something wrong with them,
and that the Eastern Lightning might be the true way after all.
Otherwise,
why on earth would it attract so much condemnation from vicious people?
I read online
that even though pastors and the CCP
were all furiously resisting and condemning Almighty God,
more sincere believers were joining from other sects every day
and turning to Almighty God.
This reminded me: When Lord Jesus appeared to perform His work,
was He not also subjected to persecution of the Roman government and Jews?
And yet, no matter how hard they tried to resist the work of Lord Jesus,
the gospel still spread among the people.
Since ancient times, the true way has faced persecution.
But that which is from God will not be held down. (Amen.)
So I thought
Almighty God could very well be the second coming of the Lord Jesus.
Because only the appearance of the true God
could make the atheist CCP and religious world
be so cruel in their condemnation and persecution.
Where the true God appears, there will be persecution.
Yeah, it's true.
You know, the persecution of the Eastern Lightning by the CCP
is really extreme and cruel.
It's true. I've heard the same thing.
And so, I went to the Church of Almighty God website.
And then, I was shocked by what I saw:
Almighty God's word—The Word Appears in the Flesh,
and more movies, musicals, music videos, everything.
It was amazing.
Enough to watch for months.
These truths could never be appreciated in religious circles.
The people of the Church of Almighty God
really are following the Lamb to the feast.
The truth expressed by Almighty God is rich and bountiful.
Not only does it show the mysteries of God's 6000-year plan,
but also tells how Satan corrupted mankind,
the origin and extent of man's corruption,
why man resists God and how God saves man, and how God truly completes man,
why God has become flesh in the last days to perform judgment,
what its purpose and meaning is,
how man's ending is divided,
which people will receive salvation and enter the kingdom of heaven,
which people will be eliminated,
and what man's true destination is,
how God will ultimately end the age,
how the kingdom of Christ will be realized, and so forth.
Everything is very clearly described in Almighty God's word.
The work of Almighty God in the last days
completely accomplishes all of the prophecies from Lord Jesus.
The word of Almighty God is the truth.
It conquers men's hearts and convinces them completely.
Anyone with spirit and heart who reads the word of Almighty God
knows for sure that this is God's voice
and will be raptured before God's throne.
It seems so amazing to me. Almighty God's word is bountiful. (Yes.)
We should look into it.
All of this has made me see clearly now:
So many religious pastors are closing the doors of their churches,
and as regards Almighty God's work of judgment,
they aren't seeking or studying.
They just condemn and believe the lies
spread on the internet by the atheist CCP government,
stopping believers from following the work of Almighty God in the last days.
Satan's evil intentions and plots are behind this.
They are afraid that people will hear the words of Almighty God
and know that they are the truth,
and end up turning toward Almighty God in the end.
After that, no one will be left to listen to their stale doctrines
and obsolete Bible knowledge.
Their careers and livelihood will be at risk when people turn to Almighty God.
This is why they furiously condemn and oppose Almighty God.
Aside from that, there's no basis whatsoever.
The pastors only care about their jobs and reputation.
God's work in the last days is far too revelatory for people.
It has revealed both the true believers and even those false believers.
Those who accept the work of Almighty God in the last days are wise virgins.
They will all be raptured before God's throne,
enjoying the supply of the river of life
and receiving God's personal salvation and perfection.
These people are overcomers made by God in the last days.
But those who reject the work of God in the last days will be abandoned by God.
Then if they still don't seek the true way,
when the great disasters happen,
they will be left weeping and gnashing their teeth.
We can't waste any more time.
So this is how God exposes each kind of people.
You're right. This is different than what we thought.
God truly has the wisdom.
Elder Im's fellowship is so insightful.
If Almighty God hadn't expressed so many truths,
how could Elder Im's fellowship have been so clear and so illuminating?
It seems Almighty God's way really is worth looking into.
How was I so foolish before?
He's gained much for seeking the true way for over a year, but I had no idea.
I really have been ignorant.
Could Almighty God be the return of Lord Jesus?
If it wasn't for God's word,
he wouldn't have been able to learn so much in such a short time.
I'm so far behind.
No, I must catch up to him.
Otherwise, I really will be abandoned by the Lord.
Elder Im, listening to your fellowship has filled me with excitement.
Almighty God has expressed so many truths.
So many have heard God's voice and returned to God's throne.
How did I have no idea?
In the past, I too saw the CCP and religious world
furiously condemning Almighty God,
using lies and rumors trying to frame,
and using other methods to smear the Church of Almighty God.
How did I not realize before that this might have been God's appearance?
Since ancient times, the true way has been persecuted.
Wherever God appears, there will be opposition of satanic forces
and the persecution of God's chosen ones.
I've been so numb and blind.
I can't believe I didn't notice this before.
For years we've listened to pastors,
never listening to or contacting the way of the Eastern Lightning,
or giving them a chance.
Being controlled by our religious leaders
is just the result of our foolishness and ignorance.
We just can't keep hiding behind closed doors anymore.
We must seek the way of Almighty God as soon as possible.
Amen! Yes, as soon as possible!
Well said, Elder Yang.
In the past, we all blindly followed pastors, controlled by them,
and thought that faith must be based on the Bible,
and that God's word was only ever recorded in the Bible.
But now this seems just problematic, incomplete.
If Lord Jesus came to speak His word, would that be recorded in the Bible?
If the Spirit of truth starts to speak words,
they wouldn't automatically appear in the Bible.
I used to be foolish and ignorant.
Some of the pastors' views are quite problematic.
We can no longer be controlled by these wrong views.
He's right.
Yes. We cannot deny God's actual words.
But aren't all the Bible God's words as well?
Is it so wrong for faith to be based on the Bible?
On this subject,
we'd love to know more. (Yes, I'd like to know too.)
Elder Lee,
I have only been reading Almighty God's words for a little over a year now.
So my understanding is still shallow.
There're many things I can't fellowship clearly.
I think it's best if we head to the Church of Almighty God,
and let the witnesses there fellowship to us in more detail.
Ah, great! That sounds wonderful!
Yes, that'd be great.
To be honest, I have a friend who believes in Almighty God.
Ah, really?
He once tried to tell me about Almighty God's work, but I didn't listen.
I really regret ignoring him then.
Elder Lee, you've heard it before?
We wish you had told us earlier.
We could have looked into it long ago.
Yeah, what a shame!
I'm ashamed to admit it.
If I started then, wouldn't I be further by now? (Yes.)
But hearing you commune about the word of Almighty God today,
I finally realize that His word is the truth.
I must seek it and not wait any longer.
That's good!
Let's all go to the Church of Almighty God tomorrow! (Oh, yes. Praise the Lord.)
