Two thousand years ago,
the Lord Jesus promised His followers,
I was just like everyone else who believes in the Lord Jesus;
in order to welcome the Lord's coming,
I enthusiastically spread word of the Lord and bore testimony to the Lord.
So I was persecuted and arrested by the CCP government,
and I was sentenced to four years in prison.
Looking back on my transition from believing in the Lord
to welcoming the Lord's coming,
to being raptured up before God,
every step of the way, it was God who led me here.
Thinking back on the grace I've received from God,
there've been too many times to count.
That was ten years ago.
While in school, working as a teacher,
I began to spread the gospel and bear testimony to the Lord …
Okay, we'll continue the lesson tomorrow.
Everyone, remember to complete today's homework assignment;
I'll be checking it tomorrow. (Okay.)
Alright, well, class ends here then.
See you tomorrow! Bye. (Bye. See you.)
Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen, (Yes?)
after listening to the gospel you shared me when you came to our house last time,
my mom and dad felt especially moved.
Is that right?
They'd like to invite you over again this weekend. (Okay!)
Mr. Chen,
my parents and I enjoy hearing you talk about the Bible as well.
We'd like to go and listen, too. (That's great!)
Thank the Lord! Tell your parents that I'll definitely be there this weekend. (Okay.)
Mr. Chen. (Yes?)
The school principal would like to see you in his office. (Oh, okay.)
Okay, see you later, Mr. Chen! (See you.)
Bye-bye! (Bye.)
Please, come in.
Principal Sun.
Please take a seat. (Yes, okay.)
Assistant Principal Hou, Director Ma.
Mr. Chen, there is something we'd like to verify with you.
I hear you believe in the Lord and even preach to others.
Is this true?
Yes, it is true.
I believe in the Lord and spread the gospel. Is there a problem with this?
Since this is true, there is indeed a problem.
So, do you know our country has a law
that prohibits teachers, staff, and students from believing in the Lord?
Yes, I know this.
If you are clearly aware of this national law,
yet you believe in the Lord anyway and even go around preaching your religion everywhere,
then what you're doing is tantamount to a deliberate violation.
The entire school is in an uproar right now;
this issue is quite serious.
As you well know, the Communist Party is in power in our country.
Schools are the Party's frontline in education,
and they are atheist zones.
If a school had a Christian teacher, it would be an outrage;
the effects of this would be enormous.
This is something both the Party and the nation absolutely do not allow.
Your belief in the Lord violates national law,
so the school must deal with this problem seriously.
Right now there are two paths laid out in front of you.
You can choose to keep believing in the Lord,
or you can keep your job and continue teaching at this school.
The choice is yours.
Principal Sun, if the school had a Christian,
would this be really something to make such a fuss about?
So much of the world believes in God;
every government and party in western countries has Christians in it.
Why, then, should our national government prohibit Chinese schools
from having a Christian?
The national Constitution stipulates freedom of religion,
so believing in the Lord is a citizen's right.
My belief in the Lord is both reasonable and legal.
Furthermore, my faith has not influenced my teaching
and has not violated the school's regulations.
Why does the government want to take away my job
and cause me to lose my source of income?
This deprives me of my right to subsistence.
Is this in line with our nation's Constitution?
Please explain these things to me.
Mr. Chen,
the religious freedom stipulated in the national Constitution is for show,
just for foreigners to see.
Did you really think you have religious freedom?
The CCP is an atheist party.
In schools run by the CCP,
only atheism is allowed to be discussed, as well as Marxism and Mao Zedong's Thought.
Believing in the Lord is absolutely forbidden, let alone preaching about it.
Your job is your bread and butter given by the CCP.
Given that you have this bread and butter in hand,
if you preach about God,
aren't you just biting the hand that feeds you?
In China, believing in God is a jailable offense.
If you're not careful, it could even endanger your life.
We've noticed that your performance as a teacher is good,
so we'd like to give you a chance.
Give it some careful thought.
If you want to protect your source of income,
then guarantee in writing that you will no longer worship God.
If you choose to worship God,
then we will have to dismiss you from civil service.
This is a national policy; we have no choice in the matter.
You must decide which path you are going to take.
If the national government fired me from my job due to my belief in the Lord,
it'd be absolutely inhumane.
Is believing in the Lord and being a Christian in China illegal?
Should I be arrested and put in jail?
There is no such law anywhere internationally.
Right now the government wants to fire me from my job due to my belief in the Lord.
Is this not a deprivation of my right to subsistence?
The CCP talks about the right to subsistence for outsiders to hear,
while depriving its own people of that right.
Isn't this an example of sailing under false colors?
Why does the CCP not allow people to believe in the Lord and walk the right path?
The party is just far too evil, isn't it?
Humans were made by God, so they should believe in Him and worship Him.
This is an unalterable truth.
When it comes to believing in God, I refuse to compromise.
Even if the school dismisses me, I am still going to believe in God.
This is what I choose,
and I have no regrets.
Mr. Chen, listen to my advice:
A wise man bends with the wind.
In China, the CCP is the law; whatever the Party says goes.
Who would dare to go against Party policy?
As the saying goes, "The weak cannot contend with the strong."
Do you have to believe in God?
Can God give you food, a home, a source of income?
Think about it:
If you are let go by the school because of your belief in God,
then your spouse's job will get dragged into it, too.
Then what? How will you two be able to make a living?
Furthermore, your daughter won't get into a university,
let alone take the civil service exam.
You should take all these things into careful consideration.
Can you not see the advantages and disadvantages here?
While living in this world, people need to make a living.
You must not head down a dead-end path.
I have taken all these things you mention into consideration.
However,
I believe that a person's fate is decided by God's rule and arrangements.
The Lord Jesus redeemed humanity;
only by accepting the Lord Jesus can people be absolved of their sins
and obtain God's blessings and eternal life.
I cannot deny God or betray Him for the sake of being alive or for monetary gain,
ending up dragging out a shameful existence.
In the future, disasters will become greater,
and only people who believe in God will receive His protection and escape calamity.
If people do not believe in God and resist Him,
then they will fall into catastrophe and be destroyed by God—(Alright, that's enough!)
It appears you are hell-bent on believing in God,
and are not going to listen to anybody's advice.
Fine!
Since you choose to believe in God, we will respect your choice.
I am now giving you formal notice
that starting tomorrow, you no longer work here!
Mom, let me do that.
Mom, let's have supper.
How can I still have an appetite?
You lost your source of income because of your belief in the Lord.
How are you going to make a living from now on?
Don't you realize people will criticize me behind my back if this gets out?
How can I be strong enough to handle this?
Xiangguang,
you are the pillar holding up our family;
we rely on you to be the breadwinner.
Can't you be more considerate of our family's needs?
Are you trying to anger me to death?
I don't even know what I can say to you!
Mom.
Tingting. (Yeah?)
How about you go do your homework in your room. (Okay.)
Xiangguang, we are right to believe in the Lord.
Why can't you believe in secret?
Why must you make it public?
You know the government opposes religion.
How could your belief not cause problems?
This is terrible.
On top of losing your income, what if you're arrested and put in jail?
If you don't think about your own well-being,
shouldn't you at least think about your family?
If the Lord were to return immediately
then it would be worth it.
If it is still too early for the Lord's coming,
how long do we suffer like this?
My faith is not that strong.
Yang Mei—
Xiangguang,
Yang Mei is trying to say this for your own good, and for the good of the family.
If you are arrested, this family will fall apart!
I really do worry about the two of you.
Having lived to this age,
I have come to understand a bit about the CCP.
Their specialty is penalizing and persecuting.
You think only a few people have been punished by the CCP?
Although believing in the Lord is not illegal,
the CCP doesn't care about this freedom of yours.
Right now you don't have a job anymore,
and Yang Mei's own job is going to get dragged into this.
How are we going to get by from now on?
Mama,
Yang Mei,
I understand how you both feel.
I've been fired by the school, and I've lost my job,
and you are both having to suffer in turn;
I feel bad about that.
But my hand was forced.
The CCP was going to fire me,
so I had to make a reasonable decision.
I thought about it for a very long time before making this decision.
Look, all those preachers who labored for the Lord's sake,
the Lord treated them with kindness.
Did they not all live quite well?
When you think about these years that we have believed in the Lord,
He has treated us with a good deal of kindness.
I believe that the Lord's grace is sufficient for our needs;
with the Lord to guide us, what do we have to worry about?
Yang Mei,
doesn't the greatest hope in our belief in the Lord
lie in His coming and rapturing us into the kingdom of heaven?
The Lord's words tell us that the path into the kingdom of heaven is one of suffering,
accompanied by all kinds of coercion, tribulations, ridicule, slander,
as well as arrests and persecution by a satanic regime.
For those of us who believe in the Lord,
if we only care about obtaining blessings and are afraid to suffer for it,
then how can we bear testimony?
When the Lord comes,
how can we be qualified to be raptured into the kingdom of heaven?
As you have seen, natural disasters are getting more serious;
we are in the days before the Lord's return, right now.
If we only think about living the high life,
and are unable to pay the price of suffering to follow the Lord,
then when the time comes,
we will be abandoned by the Lord, fall into the disaster,
and it will be too late for regrets.
Mom, Yang Mei,
even though I lost my job at the school, I'll still be able to find other work to do.
We must rely on the Lord in everything,
and trust that with His guidance and mercy, there are no obstacles we cannot surmount.
Don't worry.
Oh, child!
Once you set your mind on something,
not even a team of ten oxen can pull you back from it.
I don't have any say over you anymore,
I have no control.
Go ahead and believe what you want to believe.
Tough times are ahead of you.
Mom …
Xiangguang, I understand everything you've said.
You and I can endure suffering, but what about our child?
What about your mom?
No matter how hard things get for us,
we can't let it affect our child or your mother.
Our faith will lead to more persecution in the future.
I truly hope that the Lord will return soon
so all of this pain and suffering could be over.
Lord Jesus!
Here in China, believing in God is such a challenge.
Without Your words to guide me,
I truly do not know how I could walk the path in front of me.
Lord!
I implore You to fortify my faith and give me strength.
Give me the patience to follow You to the end.
Lord!
I hope You will return soon and save us from this dark world.
Oh Lord …
It's okay; we're fine.
Gathering here is putting everyone on edge.
I never thought the government's persecution of the churches
would get more and more severe like this.
Ever since Xi Jinping came to power,
our nation's policies towards religion have not relaxed.
They've gotten stricter.
That's right.
More and more Christians are being arrested and persecuted.
Quite a few Three-Self churches have been demolished.
Even crosses from atop churches have been torn down and destroyed.
Why is it that the CCP is so hard on the Lord Jesus and the cross?
Exactly!
I see it clearly now.
No matter who within the CCP comes to power,
they are all a bunch of fiends who hate and resist God.
They really are so loathsome!
If the CCP doesn't fall from power soon,
life will continue to be hard for us Christians. (Indeed!)
I hope the Lord will return soon so that we don't endure such suffering.
Yes!
That's a given;
over the past few years, haven't we all been looking forward to the Lord's return?
Who wants to be persecuted by the government?
No one does.
We used to think that the Lord would come back in the year 2000,
but more than ten years have passed now,
and He still has not returned.
What exactly is going on?
I've been thinking about this a lot lately.
Right now, there is widespread desolation,
and many churches have closed.
What do all of you say—
by gazing at the stars and waiting every day—
can we welcome the Lord's return or not?
Shouldn't we go out and search,
and see if there's news of the Lord's coming?
Search? Where would we do that?
Yes, that's a great idea.
We really should go out and search.
I recall the Lord Jesus once said,
This shows that when the Lord comes,
people will spread the news and bear witness. (That's right.)
If we hear of anyone bearing witness to the Lord's return,
then we should waste no time in looking into it. (Yeah!)
Hey!
In recent years,
haven't the members of Eastern Lightning been consistently bearing witness
that the Lord Jesus has already returned?
They bear witness that the Lord has returned in the flesh
doing the work of judgment in the last days.
This is in line with what is written in the Bible:
Do you think it's possible that Eastern Lightning really is the work of the Lord?
Oh, you don't say.
This could really be possible!
Eastern Lightning is the manifestation and work of the Lord?
It is impossible!
In Matthew 24, verse 29-30, it is written,
Amen!
It is clearly written in the Bible
that the Lord will return riding down on a cloud,
and that great events will occur on the day of His return.
At that time, the sun will go dark, the moon will not emit light,
and heaven and earth will shake. (Amen!)
But have these signs yet appeared?
No, they haven't.
Have we seen the Lord riding down on a cloud?
No.
Right!
We have not seen these things,
how can we say the Lord has already returned?
The Lord is faithful, and good as His word.
We just wait for the Lord to ride down on a cloud (Amen.)
and lift us up into the kingdom of heaven;
there is absolutely no mistake about this.
Eastern Lightning has borne witness that the Lord Jesus has returned,
but their testimony of His return is of Christ incarnate, as the Son of man,
to do the work of judgment in the last days.
This is not the same as the prediction in the Bible of the Lord riding down on a cloud,
but Eastern Lightning's appearance has shaken the entire religious community
with enormous effect.
Its influence has even reached a global scale.
In the flocks of every sect and denomination in mainland China,
there are quite a few good sheep who now believe in Eastern Lightning. (Yes.)
I have pondered this matter:
Is Eastern Lightning the manifestation and work of God, or not?
If it genuinely is the manifestation and work of God,
then which of the Lord Jesus' prophecies does this fulfill?
How is it that this differs from what is prophesied in the Bible
regarding the Lord returning while riding down on a cloud?
I feel that there is a mystery here,
which is not easy for us to fathom.
There sure is!
We really need to have fellowship on this today.
Hey, the past few years, Eastern Lightning has developed so quickly.
That is not so simple.
Eastern Lightning has developed very quickly and had a very big impact.
But most pastors and elders in the religious world
condemn Eastern Lightning as being heresy.
The CCP government has also repressed and cracked down on Eastern Lightning.
This shows that Eastern Lightning could not possibly be the true way.
If it were,
how could elders of the religious world resist it?
They are well-versed in the Bible and often provide interpretations of it.
That's right!
The way I see it, we should follow the elders and wait
until the Lord descends on a cloud.
That way we can't go wrong—(Get out of the way!)
You can't come in here!
Police! Don't move! (Stand still!)
Arms behind your heads, and squat down!
What are you doing? (It's you! Don't try to be slick!)
What are you doing?
Don't get smart!
Search the place!
Why are you arresting us believers of God?
Quit talking nonsense!
Hey! (Don't get smart!)
Do you have search warrants or arrest warrants?
Shit. You're asking for search and arrest warrants?
You wanna die?
Listen, uniform of mine is a search warrant.
And this is my arrest warrant! Handcuff!
Just squat there. No praying!
You pack of "godized people,"
you've been warned so many times:
Believing in God is forbidden, as is organizing gatherings in secret.
You are just stubborn and refuse to change.
This time I'm determined to put you lot in prison!
Take them away!
Yes sir!
Get up!
One by one!
Go!
Hello, sir!
Enter!
Everyone, listen up:
This is yet another "godized person," a Christian.
All of you keep an eye on him.
Do not allow him to pray,
and do not allow him to talk about anything to do with believing in God.
The moment you discover he's doing either of those things, report it immediately.
Do you hear me?
Yes, sir!
Keep an eye on him.
Yes, rest assured, sir!
You'll sleep over there!
Come on.
Lao Diao's gonna have some fun.
Stop messing around and get to it.
Are you blind?
What's your name?
How many years are you in for?
Hey!
Hey shit-for-brains, are you deaf?
The boss is talking to you. Didn't you hear him?
This one doesn't know how things are done here.
Chen Xiangguang; sentenced to four years.
Hey, boss; take a look.
All he did was believe in the Lord, nothing else.
Why did he get sentenced to four years?
Man, he got off light. He should be happy!
Zhao Zhiming got seven years for believing in Almighty God.
Isn't that right, Zhao?
Faster!
You in front, hurry up.
Faster!
What are you looking at?
This is me looking after you.
Hurry up! Faster! You call that working?
Stop dawdling around.
Enter!
Don't try to be slick!
Squat down!
Squat down, I said!
Shit! How dare you talk about religion even here?
Are you tired of living?
You're flirting with death!
Beat them to within an inch of their lives!
Xiangguang is coming.
Go on in.
Mom. (Son.)
Xiangguang. (Yang Mei.)
Speak through the phone.
Have a seat and talk to me. Mom, sit down.
Mom …
Amen!
Almighty God's words are so practical, and so wonderful.
After reading them, I feel comforted;
they fill me with strength and faith.
Almighty God's words are indeed the truth!
Here it is.
Almighty God's words have struck a chord in the bottom of my heart.
All these years of believing in the Lord,
I have always longed for His arrival this way!
Almighty God's words have revealed how I yearn for the Lord's arrival.
His words are indeed the truth.
They are expressions of the Holy Spirit.
Could Almighty God really be the Lord Jesus returned?
That can't be true.
If the Lord really had returned,
He should have done so with great glory while descending upon a cloud.
Moreover, heaven and earth would have quaked,
and the sun and moon would have stopped shining.
So far these sights have not happened,
so how can they say that the Lord has already returned?
Just what exactly is this all about?
That's fine; put the pole in.
Brother Zhao. (Yeah?)
The question you pose is something that has confused everyone in the religious world.
I used to think this way, too.
Later, someone bore testimony to Almighty God's work of the last days for me,
and only then did I discover that
by waiting to welcome the Lord's return, we have all made the same mistake.
Oh? What mistake?
We are only waiting for the Lord's return based on the prophecies of His descent upon a cloud,
but we have overlooked other prophecies about the Lord's return.
This is a grave mistake!
Many parts of the Bible contain prophecies about the Lord's return.
You're probably aware of them, right?
For example, the Lord's prophecies:
There is also Revelation 3:20.
Right.
And Chapter 17 of Luke,
These prophecies mention the Lord's returning "as a thief,"
"the coming of the Son of man";
and they mention that He speaks to people while knocking at the door, and so on.
Doesn't this show that when it comes to the Lord's return,
besides His public descent upon a cloud, He also will descend in secret ways?
A secret descent?
Yes.
If we believe the Lord will only come by descending upon a cloud,
then how could the prophecies of Him coming in secret be fulfilled?
Think about it.
When the Lord descends on a cloud,
there will be a number of great portents.
The sun and moon will no longer shine,
the stars will fall from the sky, and heaven and earth will shake.
That will certainly be an earth-shaking scene,
and everyone will definitely see it and know about it.
Then how will the prophecies be fulfilled,
the Lord will come "as a thief," and that He will knock on the door?
When the Lord descends on a cloud, everyone will see it.
Will anyone need to testify:
"The bridegroom comes; go you out to meet him"?
The Lord also said:
How will that prophecy be fulfilled?
Besides, there are many more prophecies in the Bible— (Hey, you, get over there!)
Hey, pick up that pole. (Faster! Hurry up!)
There are also multiple prophecies in the Bible
that when the Lord returns in the last days, He will complete some work.
For example,
the work of judgment will start with the house of God.
He will open the scroll, break its seven seals,
and there's also the harvesting and the winnowing,
separating people according to their kind,
sheep and goats, the wheat and the tares, the good and evil servants.
If the Lord comes in great glory, descending on a white cloud
and everyone sees it,
that would be the spiritual body of the Lord Jesus resurrected appearing to mankind,
so wouldn't everyone fall to the ground and obey and follow Him?
Who would resist Him?
That way, how would the sheep and the goats,
and the good servants and the evil servants be differentiated?
How would the work of harvesting and winnowing be done?
I'd never thought about any of that!
Yeah.
There are many prophecies in the Bible about the Lord's return in the last days.
If we cast aside the other prophecies,
but just delimit the way the Lord will return based on one or two parts of the Bible
as Him descending on a white cloud,
isn't that a little arbitrary?
That way we'd miss the chance to welcome His return,
and be rejected by Him.
Hey, you! Hey! You!
Carry this wood there.
Hurry it up!
Brother Zhao's fellowship today was really full of light.
It seems that I've been seeing the Lord's return too simply.
There are so many prophecies about His return in the Bible,
but I had never really pondered over them.
I'd just delimited how He would return.
It's my fault for not seeking the truth in the Lord's words.
I just blindly listened to the pastors and elders
and held on to the prophecies of the Lord descending on a cloud.
I'm such a fool!
Okay.
Go ahead.
Go on.
I used to be just like you.
I defined the Lord's return as Him descending on a cloud.
The light I share in fellowship
is what I have understood since accepting Almighty God's work in the last days.
The Bible prophesied that the Lord would come "as a thief," and,
The appearance and work of Almighty God have fulfilled these prophecies.
From the outside, He looks just like a regular person.
He speaks from within normal humanity.
Who could imagine that He is the appearance and the work of the Lord?
Yeah, who would have thought of it?
This does fulfill the prophecy of the Lord's return "as a thief."
Thank the Lord.
This prophecy refers to Almighty God's appearance and work
suddenly spreading to every sect and denomination, just like a thief—
no one could have realized it.
His preachers bear witness to His words
to all those who seek God's appearance,
and they fellowship on Almighty God's words.
This is the Lord knocking at the door.
Thanks be to the Lord! So that's what it really is. (Yeah.)
Since Almighty God's appearance and work,
He has been subjected to the brutal hunts and persecution of the CCP,
and He has suffered the mad resistance, condemnation,
and rejection of the religious world.
There have been many evil spirits and demons
who have openly attacked, condemned, and blasphemed Almighty God online.
This fulfills the Lord's prophecy:
If the Lord had descended publicly on a cloud like people imagine,
then the tares, the goats, the evil servants, and the antichrists
would definitely fall down in worship to accept Almighty God.
How would they be exposed then?
The CCP demons and all the unbelievers would also accept Almighty God.
Wouldn't that just be utter chaos in the world?
How would God's work in the last days be carried out?
So only if God is incarnated as the Son of man to appear and work
can these prophecies spoken by the Lord Jesus,
including those of the Lord's work after His return in the last days,
be fulfilled, be completed. (Right.)
Thanks be to the Lord!
The Lord's prophecies of coming in secret has already been fulfilled.
I didn't know that.
I've still been waiting for the Lord to descend on a cloud
and rapture me into the kingdom in my dreams.
I didn't know that I had been abandoned by the Lord.
I'm such an idiot!
Apparently, before the prophecies are fulfilled,
explanations are useless.
No one understands the prophecies.
Yes!
Without accepting the work of Almighty God in the last days,
we wouldn't understand—
Without accepting the work of Almighty God in the last days,
we wouldn't understand these prophecies.
Almighty God has come
and expressed all the truths to purify and save mankind,
doing the work of judgment in the last days.
His sheep listen to His voice,
and wise virgins from every denomination
hear the words Almighty God has expressed and know them as truth, as God's voice,
and they have turned to Almighty God.
This is the rapture.
These people have been raptured up to God's throne,
and are judged before Christ's judgment seat.
They are first to be purified, made into overcomers by God,
and become the first fruits.
This fulfills this prophecy from Revelation:
After God descends in secret and makes this group of overcomers,
His great work will be complete.
After that, He will descend on a cloud
and appear to all nations and peoples.
That is when the great events of the Lord's return that you talk about will occur,
and that will fulfill the prophecy in Revelation 1:7,
This will be the scene of the Lord openly descending on a cloud,
and all eyes will see Him.
Even some of those who resisted and condemned Almighty God
will be able to see Him descending on a cloud,
which is why
Right!
Can't you see that God does things in stages, with a plan?
Yes.
The prophecies of the Lord's return have basically all been fulfilled now.
The only one left is
the prophecies that He will openly descend on a cloud after the disaster.
Now you understand, right?
Thanks be to the Lord! I understand!
Thanks be to the Lord!
If it weren't for God's guidance …
All these years of believing in the Lord,
I've always followed the trends of the religious world.
I lived within my own notions and imagination,
waiting for the Lord to descend on a cloud and rapture me into the kingdom.
I never imagined the Lord had already returned in the flesh
and expressed truths,
doing the work of judgment in the last days.
I never sought or examined this,
so I ended up hoping for His return but actually denying the Lord, rejecting Him.
I am really blind, and I do not know God.
If not for the Lord's mercy and His wondrous arrangements
that have allowed me to hear His voice,
I would have missed this chance of the Lord's coming to rapture me up.
I truly thank God!
Now I accept Almighty God, and I pray to Him.
I'll definitely read The Word Appears in the Flesh Almighty God expresses
after I get out of prison.
I'll put everything into bearing witness for Almighty God
and leading my brothers and sisters to accept Almighty God's work in the last days.
Hey, we'll have two tea eggs. (Okay.)
Here you are.
Thank you!
I'd like four baozi, please.
Sure, what filling do you want?
I'll take a look.
People from The Church of Almighty God are joining our gathering today.
You must be alert.
If there's any trouble, let us know right away. (Okay.)
There are some brothers and sisters standing guard at all of these intersections.
Don't worry about your gathering.
Here, your baozi.
There you go. (Thank you.)
Alright, thank you.
This is wonderful. We have such a rare opportunity today! (Yes, we do.)
Thanks be to the Lord!
Hey, look, it's starting.
Amen!
Wow, these words are just wonderful. An average person couldn't say these things!
These words are full of light.
They very clearly explain the path of seeking God's appearance and His work.
This is the first time we've heard anything like this.
Yes, this is wonderful, it really is full of light.
Thanks be to God!
Let's read a few passages of Almighty God's words? (Great!)
Everyone, please turn to page 3.
Thanks be to God! Amen!
Thanks be to God!
Sister, I'd like to read a passage.
Okay.
Amen!
Wow, Almighty God's words sound like the truth to me.
They surely come from the Holy Spirit.
Now that you've heard Almighty God's words, what do you think?
I've never heard such wonderful words! (Thanks be to God!)
As we wait for the Lord's return, we should seek God's footsteps.
Amen!
In Revelation, it's prophesied:
Amen. Right.
In seeking God's footsteps
we should seek the utterances of the Holy Spirit,
and seek to hear God's voice.
This is the only way we can welcome God's appearance. (Yes!)
Almighty God's words very clearly explain God's appearance and work.
And think about it, everyone.
If these words hadn't been uttered by the Holy Spirit,
would we be able to understand this?
We couldn't.
Yes, that's right!
Outside of God, who could speak this way?
Who could reveal these mysteries of the truth?
Who could explain the truth and the significance of God's appearance so clearly?
Only God! Only God.
Yes! Only God!
Almighty God is the Son of man incarnate,
revealing Himself to work and speak.
He has expressed many truths and unveiled the mysteries of God's work. (Yes!)
If we can determine that Almighty God's words are utterances from the Holy Spirit,
everyone, please give this some thought,
how does the Holy Spirit speak through a person?
Isn't this the Holy Spirit wearing the flesh to speak?
It must be.
Just like the Lord Jesus, who was the Holy Spirit realized in the flesh,
when He appeared and was working,
the Holy Spirit uttered words and bore witness to Him.
This is no small matter.
Yes.
When the Lord Jesus appeared and worked,
many people heard His words and thought that these words contained authority and power,
but they did not recognize Him as the Lord.
Those who recognize Him, that He is the Lord, that He is Christ,
first had to discover that everything expressed by the Lord Jesus is the truth,
and things that men cannot achieve.
This was the only way they were able to recognize the appearance and work of the Son of man.
But people must pray to God and seek,
and gain the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit in order to achieve results.
That's right!
Thanks be to the Lord!
Almighty God's words state very clearly how to recognize God's appearance and work.
Let's take a look. (Great.)
Amen.
Think back when the Lord Jesus appeared and was working.
Didn't He do that by becoming flesh and coming among mankind?
Didn't He come with the identity of God Himself to express God's disposition?
Yes! This happened.
This allows us to see a fact:
God's appearance and work are practical and significant.
It's not as simple, as supernatural as we think it is.
This kind of appearance is not like when God spoke to Moses through flames,
or when He spoke to Job from out of the storm,
or when the Lord Jesus appeared in His spiritual body.
To put it accurately,
God's appearance refers to God Himself coming to earth in the flesh,
speaking with the identity of God,
expressing truths, expressing His disposition,
doing the work of redeeming and saving mankind,
as well as starting a new age and ending the old age. (Yes!)
From this fellowship, now I understand how God appears.
When the Lord Jesus appeared and worked,
He spoke and carried out His work among mankind with the identity of God Himself,
He expressed God's disposition of mercy and love,
and He Himself was nailed to the cross for man.
He did a stage of the work of redeeming mankind,
began the Age of Grace, and ended the Age of Law.
Isn't this the appearance and work of God incarnate coming down among mankind?
Yes, that's exactly what it is. (Yes.)
The Lord Jesus has returned in the last days.
He is Almighty God in the flesh.
He speaks, expresses the truth, and expresses God's righteous disposition
with the identity of God Himself.
He is doing the work of judgment beginning with the house of God,
and He has come to purify, save, and perfect mankind,
bring people into God's kingdom, and end the entire old age.
This is God's appearance and work in the last days.
Now I see.
Yes,
God's appearance and work are so real, so practical!
We never could have realized that on our own!
Thanks be to God!
In the past we didn't know what God's appearance was,
and we didn't grasp its significance.
We relied on our own notions to define the Lord,
believing that when He returns,
He would descend in a cloud of glory to appear to all peoples.
Even after hearing The Church of Almighty God bear witness
that He has appeared and expressed the truth,
we still didn't seek or investigate.
We were still waiting for the Lord to descend on a cloud
and rapture us into the heavens so that we could meet with Him.
We have been so blind!
I never imagined Almighty God had appeared and has been working for so long,
that He has expressed so many truths.
We never saw or heard this. (Yes.)
We almost missed the chance to welcome the Lord's return
and be raptured before the disaster.
Our notions and imaginations are such a trap!
We used to gaze at the clouds in the sky and wait for the Lord's coming,
but we didn't seek out the words of the Holy Spirit
or seek to hear the Lord's voice.
That was so foolish!
If we hadn't read Almighty God's words today,
we would still be feeling our way forward in the dark like blind people.
Where else could we hear the voice of God? (I wonder.)
Thanks be to God!
Apparently, to seek God's appearance and work,
we have to actively seek the truth, and seek out God's voice.
Yes, this is the right path.
These years The Church of Almighty God has been bearing witness—
the Lord has appeared and is working in the last days.
This fulfills the Lord Jesus' prophecy:
Amen.
Thanks be to God!
We've been reading the Bible all these years,
but never understood the Lord's words. (Yeah.)
Now, after investigating the work of Almighty God and hearing the voice of God
I finally understand the Lord's prophecies. (Yes!)
This is God's grace for us.
It is the leadership of the Holy Spirit and God's blessing!
It is. Thanks be to the Lord!
Thanks be to God's grace!
Thanks be to God!
You say that Almighty God's words are the voice of God Himself,
but I'm not so sure.
As I see it, this is the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit.
If Almighty God really was the returned Lord Jesus,
then we should have already been raptured.
But we haven't seen anyone raptured.
Almighty God's words are the truth,
and they are really practical, really precious.
But is Almighty God really the appearance and the work of the Lord?
I really can't make heads or tails of this.
I don't think Almighty God could possibly be the appearance of the Lord.
If Almighty God were the Lord Jesus returned,
we would be raptured first!
We've believed in the Lord for years,
and to welcome His coming, we pray night and day,
we exert ourselves working hard for Him,
and we've suffered so much.
If Almighty God were the appearance and work of the Lord,
why wouldn't He rapture us first?
Why would He first rapture the people of Eastern Lightning?
It's not fair!
That's right!
If the Lord had returned, He would have raptured us first.
That would be fair and reasonable.
Otherwise, we absolutely cannot accept the way of Eastern Lightning!
Brother Luo, Sister Ma,
you say that if the Lord has returned He should have raptured you first.
Are all these words a revelation from God?
Is there a biblical basis for this?
There are so many people who believe in the Lord,
why would He rapture you first?
Are you Peter?
Isn't that an arrogant thing to say?
The Book of Proverbs says:
Amen!
I never understood these words before,
but now I've seen how practical they are,
and that they've been entirely fulfilled.
Those who first heed the Lord's voice and accept His appearance and work
are the wise virgins and will be raptured first.
Yes!
All those who do not take heed of the Lord's voice
but only gaze at the clouds in the sky
are the foolish virgins.
No matter how long the wise virgins have believed,
because they welcomed Him first, they will be raptured first.
Yes.
The foolish virgins do not heed the voice of the Lord,
so no matter how long they've believed in the Lord or how long they've suffered,
when the Lord comes they will be discarded. (Right.)
The Lord's utterances in His return expose people.
People will be raptured based on whether or not they are able to heed the Lord's voice.
That's right! Yes!
If you hear that Almighty God's words are the voice of God,
but you stubbornly refuse to accept Him,
and you even complain that God is unfair,
isn't this rebelling against and resisting the Lord? (It is!)
Yes.
Everything God does is fair and reasonable,
and it's futile if you are not convinced.
The Lord has come to utter words.
The people of Eastern Lightning are able to seek the truth
and accept the work of the Lord,
so of course they are raptured first.
Only those who can heed the voice of God are wise!
This fulfills the words of the Lord Jesus:
Amen!
The Lord's words are the truth. They do expose people. (They do!)
This is now the time to reveal
who are the wise virgins, and who are the foolish virgins.
Whether someone can be lifted up before God
depends on their attitude toward God's appearance and work. (Yes!)
That's really it!
Fresh brined tofu …
Tofu for sale …
Excuse me, sir, can I borrow a pump?
Sure!
We have quite a few people coming today.
The CCP has many eyes,
we absolutely cannot let our guard down.
Got it.
Alright, thank you, sir.
No problem.
I've made the rounds today and didn't find anything going on.
Yeah, over here I haven't—(Mr. Hou! Mr. Hou!)
There's something going on. (What is it?)
I've been watching Wang Xia's house.
I took a photo of all of them.
I've never seen some of them before.
I haven't seen them either.
This one seems to be in charge.
Yeah, it looks like it!
Looks like it, doesn't it? They must be having a gathering.
If we arrest them all we'll definitely be seeing a bonus!
Then what are we waiting for? Let's get on it! (Okay!)
Thanks be to God!
This kind of fellowship on God's words is so good for our understanding, our grasp.
The truth becomes clearer through debate.
Thanks be to God! Yeah.
After reading Almighty God's words,
we are able to determine that they are all the truth, that they are the voice of God.
This is not a simple matter.
This proves what the Lord Jesus said:
Amen! Thanks be to the Lord!
Those that are able to heed the Lord's voice
and are capable of accepting the Lord's appearance and work,
they are the treasure that the Lord has come to take.
They will be the first to be raptured.
This is God's grace!
Thanks be to God!
If we believe in the Lord but cannot hear His voice or welcome His appearance,
then no matter how many years we've believed,
or how much we've worked or suffered,
or how well we explain the Bible, it will be useless.
We still won't be able to be raptured into the kingdom of heaven!
It seems being able to hear the voice of the Lord is absolutely critical!
It really is.
Think of the Jewish chief priests, scribes, and Pharisees.
They believed in God for generations,
and there were certainly many people who worked hard for the Lord.
But when the Lord Jesus appeared and was working,
not only did they not recognize the voice of God
and fail to acknowledge the words expressed by the Lord Jesus were all the truth,
they accused Him of blaspheming,
and claimed He cast out demons through the prince of devils.
What kind of issue would you say this was?
This is really worth giving some thought to!
On the outside, they seemed pious in their belief in God,
they were able to toil for the Lord,
but when the Lord came, they did not recognize Him,
they resisted and condemned Him, and blasphemed Him.
How could that kind of person not be cursed and punished by God?
The Lord's appearance and work in the last days is to expose all people.
It's to show the wheat and the tares, the good servants and the evil servants,
the wise virgins and the foolish virgins.
It's to separate everyone according to their kind.
In the end, everyone will receive retribution according to what they have done.
The wise virgins heed the voice of the Lord
and are able to accept the Lord and obey His appearance and work.
Yes!
Even if the foolish virgins hear the Lord's voice,
they won't understand it or know it,
and they will follow the path of the Pharisees,
resisting and condemning the Lord.
These are the people who will be exposed and eliminated.
Does everyone understand what I'm saying?
Yeah. Yes.
Only those who can heed the voice of God are the wise virgin,
and only they'll be able to welcome the Lord.
There are still some brothers and sisters who have been unable to fully determine
that Almighty God's words are the voice of God.
What kind of problem is that?
Only faith in Almighty God's words as truth will help you see that it is God's voice.
So what does His voice refer to?
What is it about?
His "voice" doesn't refer to the way His voice sounds,
but it refers to God's utterances, the truth that He speaks.
Oh!
Aha, now I get it.
The greatest difference between the voice of God and the voice of man is this:
God's voice is what comes from His own mouth.
It is all the truth, and it is full of authority and power.
We can feel that when we hear it.
Whether we can explain it clearly or not,
that kind of feeling is right.
Indeed.
And we can feel that God's words are profound,
and cannot be fathomed by people.
When people hear the words of God,
they believe it is His voice.
Yes, it is that kind of feeling.
But when we hear people's words, they're just understandable and reachable.
Although words spoken by people from the enlightenment and illumination of the Holy Spirit
are helpful and beneficial for us,
there is no feeling of the authority and power.
Yes!
It's just like the words of the apostles in the Bible.
They come from man.
They are an interpretation of God's words.
Most of them come from the Holy Spirit's enlightenment,
but they're entirely different from the words of the Lord Jesus.
That's a fact.
With this kind of fellowship, I understand now.
I'll be able to discern God's voice.
I can too, now. (Thanks be to God!)
Let's read more of Almighty God's words.
Everyone listen.
See if Almighty God's words really are the truth or not,
if they really are the voice of God.
What do you say? Good? (Great.)
Okay. (Great.)
Almighty God's words are so stirring!
They are! I really feel like God is speaking to us from the third heaven! (Yes!)
Almighty God's words are so authoritative and powerful.
It's clear that they are the voice of God.
I can tell, too.
This is the Holy Spirit speaking to all of the churches.
It is God's voice!
Amen!
Yes, Almighty God's words are so authoritative, so powerful.
This is entirely different than the words of a human being.
It is God's voice.
I agree. Thanks be to God.
I took the words expressed by God as enlightenment from the Holy Spirit.
I was so blind not to recognize God!
I finally understand. Thanks be to God!
Sister Tong, Sister Fang. (Yes?)
After reading Almighty God's words, we all have this conviction:
All of Almighty God's words are the truth, and they are the voice of God.
Thanks be to God! Amen!
They are the voice of God, but there's something I still don't understand.
Go on!
It's that the Lord Jesus once said:
The Lord Jesus returned to heaven to prepare a place for us,
so that means the place He prepared should be in heaven.
Yes!
If the Lord has returned,
it should be to rapture us into heaven,
to first lift us up into the sky to meet with the Lord.
Yes.
What you're bearing witness to now
is that the Lord Jesus has become flesh on earth, speaking and working.
So how is He going to lift us up to the kingdom of heaven?
Is the kingdom of heaven on earth, or is it in heaven?
You go ahead.
As for that—(Brother Chen, there's trouble.)
There are police in the village. (What?)
It's not safe for us to have fellowship here.
Everyone disperse immediately!
Get the books and leave separately.
Some from the front, some from the back! (Okay.)
Brother, please organize everyone. (Okay! You go ahead.)
Sister Tong, Sister Fang, let's go. (Okay.)
Xiangguang, Minghui.
Once we're through this big cornfield, the place is just ahead.
Oh, this place is really hidden.
From here on, we can feel at ease while having our gatherings. (Yes.)
Thanks be to God!
As for whether the kingdom of heaven is actually in heaven or on the earth,
this is something that many people can't figure out.
It's something we should have fellowship on.
Yes.
First we must understand what the kingdom of heaven really is.
Everyone knows that
"heaven" usually refers to the celestial, refers to God.
So naturally, the kingdom of heaven refers to God's kingdom,
and it is the kingdom where God is in power, it is Christ's kingdom.
Wouldn't you all say so?
Yes.
So then is God's kingdom on earth, or is it in heaven?
First let's look at what the Lord's prayer says.
Aren't the Lord Jesus' words very clear?
The Lord requires that we pray for God's kingdom to come down to earth,
so that His will may be carried out on earth.
The Lord Jesus did not say that God's kingdom would be established in heaven,
and He particularly did not have us hope and pray
for the day we will be raptured up to heaven.
Think about it. Isn't that true?
That's true.
So isn't always hoping to be taken up to heaven to enter into God's kingdom
out of line with the Lord's words,
and out of line with His will?
Let's take a look at a prophecy in Revelation chapter 11 verse 15.
Amen!
And then there's chapter 21, verses 2-4,
Amen!
Take a careful look.
These two passages mention these two things:
These refer to the kingdom of Christ being realized on earth.
Almighty God's work of judgment in the last days
is to establish the kingdom of Christ on earth.
Before the great disaster comes upon the earth,
God is going to make a group of overcomers,
and this group will be the pillars of God's kingdom.
They are the ones who will rule alongside God in the kingdom of Christ. (Great.)
In the disaster, those who have been perfected by God
will be the people of God's kingdom.
Those who have never accepted Almighty God's work in the last days
will be exposed and eliminated by God,
and they will have no part of the kingdom of Christ.
Oh, so that's how it is! (Yes!)
The prophecies in the Book of Revelation
start with the utterances of God incarnate in the last days,
and then go to the end of the great disaster
when the kingdom of Christ is realized on earth,
and then go on to the eternity of a new heaven and a new earth.
When these prophecies are all fulfilled and completed,
God's management plan will fully be fulfilled.
At this point,
do you think the kingdom of heaven prophesied in the Book of Revelation
is actually on earth, or in heaven?
It's on earth.
Yes.
That's right. The kingdom of Christ is on earth.
So,
all those who accept Almighty God's work in the last days,
as long as they have been purified and perfected,
will be the people of the kingdom of Christ.
They are the ones who God will make into the group of overcomers before the disaster.
They are those who are able to heed God's words, and obey and worship Him.
When the great disaster comes,
those people will be protected and kept by God.
Thanks be to God!
But those who live in vagueness and imagination,
who just long to be raptured into the sky and meet with the Lord
but do not accept Christ's judgment and purification in the last days
will be dealt with in the disaster.
Most people will be destroyed,
a few people will turn toward God through the crucible of the disaster.
These are all true things that God is going to do soon.
The work of God is so wise!
Now does everyone understand
whether the kingdom of Christ is in heaven, or if it's on earth?
We understand.
Thanks be to God!
So God's kingdom is on earth after all.
The prophecies in the Book of Revelation are so clear,
but we never figured it out.
We really have been blind!
The prophecies in the Bible are so profound.
Without hearing this kind of fellowship,
how could we possibly have understood them?
It clearly says in the Lord's prayer:
The Lord's words are crystal clear.
God's kingdom is on earth,
and His will will be carried out on earth.
That's right.
We used to recite this every day.
How could we not understand?
This is our fault for not paying attention to the Lord's words.
We just blindly listened to the pastors and the elders.
We didn't have a pure acceptance of the words in the Bible
and were living within our imaginations.
We were just gazing at the clouds in the sky,
waiting for the Lord to descend on a cloud to welcome us into heaven.
Even in our dreams, we never could have imagined
that God's kingdom of the last days would be realized on earth.
It's true.
The pastors could never identify the truth in the Bible.
They just spoke to our own notions and imaginations.
As a result, we've done so many ridiculous things
in order to be raptured into the kingdom of heaven. (Yes.)
For years we've been running up to hilltops to pray,
thinking that would be closer to heaven,
so when the Lord came, we would be raptured first.
Thinking about it now, it seems foolish, and even laughable.
That's so true.
I used to look up at the sky every time I walked out the front door.
I would look for clouds in the sky
that were white, that looked special.
If I saw one, I would think:
Could the Lord be on this white cloud, coming to bring me up to heaven?
This is how foolish we used to be. (Yes.)
We were just hoping and hoping, waiting and waiting.
All those years of waiting didn't bring us to the Lord's coming
and Him rapturing us into the sky to meet with Him.
Only now do I know
that He has already become flesh and is on the earth.
But we've just been hoping to go to heaven.
Haven't we been completely off-base?
Yeah! It is.
I listened to the religious pastors and elders preach,
but I really didn't understand any of the truth,
and I've done ridiculous things.
It's not just you.
The things I've done could be called ridiculous.
Go on.
Oh, you don't even know.
I would often fast and pray to be lifted up into the sky and meet with the Lord,
and I would generally force myself to eat less food.
I thought if I ate less, I would be lighter,
and when the Lord comes,
won't it be easier to rapture me into heaven?
That's so foolish!
It's so true.
I've believed in the Lord, but I haven't pursued Him.
I thought that once a person believes in Him, their family is blessed,
and as long as my wife really believes,
when the Lord comes He would take her up into the kingdom of heaven,
I could just hang on to her shirttail,
and I'd be taken up along with her!
We've really been looking at getting into the kingdom of heaven too simplistically.
Thanks be to God!
After today's fellowship we understand
that God's kingdom is on earth, not in heaven. (Yes.)
But I still have a question I can't figure out.
The Lord Jesus promised us:
How should we understand these words of His?
Where did the Lord really go to prepare a place for us?
Is there some kind of mystery within these words?
Sister Fang, Sister Tong,
please share more of your fellowship. (Yes.)
Okay.
You're absolutely right.
There really are mysteries within the Lord's words.
If we look at them through our own notions and imaginations,
then the Lord Jesus returned to heaven,
so He was certainly preparing a place for us in heaven.
Looking at it that way is a huge mistake!
In God's work, we absolutely cannot rely on our own notions and imaginations
because His work is unfathomable for human beings.
We can only gain clarity on these things
once He has completed them and they have been laid out in front of us.
Wouldn't everyone say that this is the case? (Yes, it is. Yes.)
I didn't understand either
until after I had accepted Almighty God's work in the last days,
and I had seen the facts of the work that He has completed.
The Lord Jesus returning to prepare a place for us
was actually for us to be born in the last days,
accept the work of God incarnate in the last days,
undergo His judgment, be purified and perfected,
and finally to be brought into the kingdom of Christ. (Amen!)
We are so fortunate! Thanks be to God!
Think about it.
God has become flesh and walks among mankind,
He has expressed the truth to do the work of judgment in the last days,
and we have heard the voice of God
and are raised up to stand before Him.
Is this not Him coming to meet us?
We read God's words, experience His work,
and attend the feast with God.
Isn't that meeting the Lord?
Is that not coming face-to-face with the Lord? (Yes!)
When the day comes that God's work is complete,
when we have been purified and perfected,
we will be brought into God's kingdom.
Christ reigns in the kingdom of God,
and we will worship God as His people in His kingdom.
Amen!
Doesn't this fulfill the Lord's prophecy,
"where I am, there you may be also"?
Amen!
So this is how the Lord's words are fulfilled.
Yes, that's it!
Thanks be to God!
Is everyone clear on the meaning behind the Lord Jesus' words through my fellowship?
Yes.
Accepting Almighty God's work in the last days is us being lifted up before God.
It's so practical!
It is!
Thanks be to God!
The more of this fellowship on the truth we have,
the brighter our hearts become,
because the truth is reality.
You're right.
I've been thinking,
God clearly stated in the Book of Revelation
that the kingdom of Christ would be realized on earth,
so why do those in the religious world long for the Lord to rapture them into heaven?
Yeah, why is everyone hoping for that?
The pastors and elders spend all day explaining the Book of Revelation,
but why don't they know that the kingdom of Christ will be realized on earth?
Is it that they're just dazzled by their desire for blessings?
We haven't investigated God's appearance and work in the last days.
We've stubbornly held on to our own imaginations,
waiting for the Lord to descend on a cloud to bring us into His kingdom.
Thinking about it now, that was so vague, so absurd!
It wasn't realistic at all!
It seems that
the expectations of the religious world are nothing more than imagination,
they have nothing to do with the Lord's promises.
They are entirely contrary to God's will and the truth of what He is going to achieve.
That's really true!
Oh, human notions and imaginations can really do us in!
If we read more of Almighty God's words,
these problems can be resolved.
Only Almighty God can save us! (Right.)
We give thanks to Almighty God! (Thanks be to Almighty God!)
Brothers and sisters, let's read a few passages from Almighty God's words,
see how the kingdom of Christ will be realized on earth,
what the beauty of the kingdom will be, okay? (Great!)
Wonderful!
Please turn to page 308.
Amen!
Wow, God's words contain such authority!
Almighty God's words are so wonderful!
Yes, He's given us such a promise! (He has!)
Sister, I'd like to read! (Great!)
Amen!
Life in the kingdom will be glorious!
Thanks be to God!
God has bestowed such great blessings on mankind! (Yes!)
Sister Fang, I'd like to read too.
Wonderful!
Amen! It's great!
Thanks be to God!
Amen!
Wonderful!
Almighty God's words are amazing. I'd like to read a passage as well.
Okay!
Right here. (Okay.)
Amen!
Oh, the Book of Revelation prophesies:
Yes!
When the kingdom is realized,
won't all the prophecies be fulfilled? (They will.)
The final destination God has prepared for us is so wonderful!
Thanks be to God!
Thanks be to God! Let's read another passage. (Yes!)
Amen!
I'd like to read!
Amen!
Thanks be to God!
So this is how God's kingdom will come into being on the earth.
God's work is so practical! (It is!)
God's judgment in the last days purifies all His people,
and accomplishes the emergence of His kingdom on the earth.
His work in the last days is so meaningful! (Amen!)
Yes, it's so fortunate that we have looked into Almighty God's work,
this is the only way we can hear His voice, witness His appearance,
and be lifted up in front of Him.
Without investigating His work in the last days,
by just taking the pastors and elders at their word,
wouldn't we miss this opportunity?
Right. That's so true.
Who could have thought accepting the judgment and purification of God in the last days
would be the only path to being raptured! (Amen!)
Accepting Almighty God is such a blessing for us!
It is! Thanks be to God!
Our hopes for the Lord's return have finally been fulfilled!
This is the day we've been waiting for!
Thinking back to what the Lord Jesus said 2,000 years ago:
Now the Lord Jesus has returned,
and we are so fortunate to be raised up before God's throne,
and accept the judgment and chastisement of His words.
We can be made into overcomers before the disaster,
and in the end we will be brought into His kingdom.
All of this really is God's grace and blessing for us!
Thanks be to Almighty God!
Who is it?
Hello, I'm Mr. Zhao. I'm looking for Chen Xiangguang.
Xiangguang, come see who's here for you.
Brother Zhao!
