177. For several millennia, man has longed to be able to witness the arrival of the Savior. Man has longed to behold Jesus the Savior riding a white cloud as He descends, in person, among those who have pined and yearned for Him for thousands of years. Man has also longed for the Savior to return and be reunited with them; that is, longed for Jesus the Savior, who has been separated from people for thousands of years, to come back, and to once again carry out the work of redemption that He did among the Jews, to be compassionate and loving toward man, to forgive the sins of man and bear the sins of man, and even bear all of man’s transgressions and deliver man from sin. What man longs for is for Jesus the Savior to be the same as before—a Savior who is lovable, kind, and venerable, who is never wrathful toward man, and who never reproaches man, but who forgives and takes on all of man’s sins, and who will even, as before, die upon the cross for man. Since Jesus departed, the disciples who followed Him, as well as all of the saints who were saved in His name, have been desperately pining for Him and awaiting Him. All those who were saved by the grace of Jesus Christ during the Age of Grace have been longing for that exultant day in the end time when Jesus the Savior descends on a white cloud to appear before all people. Of course, this is also the collective wish of all those who accept the name of Jesus the Savior today. Everyone in the universe who knows of the salvation of Jesus the Savior has been desperately yearning for Jesus Christ to suddenly arrive to fulfill what Jesus said while on earth: “I shall arrive just as I departed.” Man believes that, following the crucifixion and resurrection, Jesus went back to heaven upon a white cloud to take His place at the Most High’s right hand. In like manner, Jesus shall descend again upon a white cloud (this cloud refers to the cloud that Jesus rode upon when He returned to heaven), among those who have desperately yearned for Him for thousands of years, and He shall bear the image and wear the clothing of the Jews. After appearing to man, He shall bestow food upon them, and cause living water to gush forth for them, and shall live among man, full of grace and full of love, vivid and real. All such notions are what people believe. Yet Jesus the Savior did not do this; He did the opposite of what man conceived. He did not arrive among those who had yearned for His return, and He did not appear to all people while riding upon the white cloud. He has already arrived, but man does not know Him, and remains ignorant of Him. Man is merely awaiting Him aimlessly, unaware that He has already descended upon a “white cloud” (the cloud which is His Spirit, His words, His entire disposition and all that He is), and is now among a group of overcomers that He will make during the last days. Man does not know this: Despite all the affection and love the holy Savior Jesus has for man, how can He work in those “temples” inhabited by filth and impure spirits? Though man has been awaiting His arrival, how could He appear to those who eat the flesh of the unrighteous, drink the blood of the unrighteous, and wear the clothes of the unrighteous, who believe in Him but do not know Him, and who constantly extort Him? Man knows only that Jesus the Savior is full of love and overflowing with compassion, and that He is the sin offering, filled with redemption. However, man has no idea that He is God Himself, who is brimming with righteousness, majesty, wrath, and judgment, possessed of authority, and full of dignity. Therefore, even though man eagerly yearns for and craves the return of the Redeemer, and even their prayers move Heaven, Jesus the Savior does not appear to those who believe in Him but do not know Him.

688. When the kingdom entirely descends on earth, all people shall recover their original likeness. Thus, God says, “I enjoy from atop My throne, and I live among the stars. The angels offer unto Me new songs and new dances. No longer does their own fragility cause tears to run down their faces. No longer do I hear, before Me, the sound of the angels weeping, and no longer does anyone complain of hardship to Me.” This shows that the day upon which God gains complete glory is the day when man enjoys his rest; people no longer rush about as a result of Satan’s disturbance, the world stops progressing onward, and people live in rest—for the myriad stars in the firmament are renewed, and the sun, moon, stars, and so on, and all the mountains and rivers in heaven and on the earth, are all changed. And because man has changed and God has changed, so, too, will all things change. This is the ultimate aim of God’s management plan, and this is what shall finally be achieved.

当国度完全降临在地时,所有的人都恢复了人的原来模样,所以神说“我在宝座之上享受,我在众星之中生活,天使为我献上新歌新舞,不再因着自身的‘脆弱’而泪流满面,在我之前,再也听不到天使的哭泣之声,无人再向我诉说苦衷”,足见神完全得荣耀之日是人得享安息之日,人不再因撒但的搅扰而忙碌,世界不会再向前发展,人都在安息之中生存,因为天宇的“众星”都更换,太阳、月亮、恒星等等,天上、地下的山山水水都变化。因为人变了,“神”也变了,所以万物都要变化,这是神经营计划的最终目的,是最后要作成的。

687. As My words are consummated, the kingdom is gradually formed on earth and man is gradually returned to normality, and thus there is established on earth the kingdom in My heart. In the kingdom, all the people of God recover the life of normal man. Gone is the frosty winter, replaced by a world of cities of spring, where spring lasts all year. No longer are people faced with the gloomy, miserable world of man, and no longer do they endure the cold chill of the world of man. People do not fight with each other, countries do not go to war against each other, no longer is there carnage and the blood that flows from carnage; all lands are filled with happiness, and everywhere teems with warmth between men. I move throughout the world, I enjoy from atop My throne, and I live among the stars. The angels offer unto Me new songs and new dances. No longer does their own fragility cause tears to run down their faces. No longer do I hear, before Me, the sound of the angels weeping, and no longer does anyone complain of hardship to Me. Today, you all live before Me; tomorrow, you will all exist in My kingdom. Is this not the greatest blessing that I bestow upon man?

国度随着我话的完善而逐步成形在地上,人也逐步恢复正常,从而在地建立我心中的国度。在国度之中,所有的子民都恢复正常人的生活,不再是冷若冰霜的冬天,而是四季如春的春城世界,人不再接触人间的凄凉,不再忍受人间的寒冷。人与人不相争,国与国不争战,不再有残杀之状,不再有残杀之血流动,全地充满喜乐之气,到处洋溢着人间的温暖之气。我在全地行走,我在宝座之上享受,我在众星之中生活,天使为我献上新歌新舞,不再因着自身的“脆弱”而泪流满面,在我之前,再也听不到天使的哭泣之声,无人再向我诉说苦衷。今天,你们都在我的面前生活,明天,你们都在我的国中生存,这不正是我赐给人的最大祝福吗?

686. My work lasts for but six thousand years, and I promised that the evil one’s control over the whole of mankind would also last for no more than six thousand years. So, now the time is up. I will neither continue nor delay any longer: During the last days I will vanquish Satan, I will take back all My glory, and I will reclaim all the souls that belong to Me on earth so that these distressed souls may escape from the sea of suffering, and thus will be concluded My entire work on earth. From this day onward, never again will I become flesh on earth, and never again will My all-controlling Spirit work upon the earth. I will do but one thing on earth: I will remake mankind, a mankind that is holy and which is My faithful city on earth. But know that I will not annihilate the entire world, nor will I annihilate the whole of mankind. I will keep that remaining third—the third that loves Me and has been thoroughly conquered by Me, and I will cause this third to be fruitful and multiply on earth just as the Israelites did under the law, nourishing them with copious sheep and cattle and all the riches of earth. This mankind will remain with Me forever, yet it will not be the deplorably filthy mankind of today, but a mankind that is an assembly of all those who have been gained by Me. Such a mankind will not be damaged, disturbed, or besieged by Satan, and will be the only mankind that exists on earth after I have triumphed over Satan. It is the mankind that has today been conquered by Me and has gained My promise. And so, the mankind that has been conquered during the last days is also the mankind that will be spared and will gain My everlasting blessings. It will be the only evidence of My triumph over Satan, and the only spoils of My battle with Satan. These spoils of war are saved by Me from the domain of Satan, and are the only crystallization and fruit of My six-thousand-year management plan. They come from every nation and denomination, from every place and country throughout the universe. They are of different races, have different languages, customs and skin colors, and they are spread across every nation and denomination of the globe, and even every corner of the world. Eventually, they will come together to form a complete mankind, an assembly of man that is unreachable by the forces of Satan.

我的作工仅是六千年,我应许那恶者掌握整个人类也仅是六千年,所以,时候已到,我不愿再持续下去,也不愿再耽延时间,我要在末世大胜撒但,将我的全部荣耀都夺回,将我所有的在地上的属我的灵魂都收回,使这些忧伤的灵魂脱离苦海,以便结束我在地的全部工作。从此以后,我不会在地上再道成肉身,我的主宰万有的灵也不会在地上作工,我只是在地上重新造一个人类,是属圣洁的人类,也是我在地上的忠信的城邑。但是你们当晓得,我并不是将世界全部毁灭,也不是将人类全部毁灭,而是留下那剩余的三分之一的被我彻底征服的爱我之人,使其在地上生养众多,犹如律法下的以色列民一样,使其在地得着我滋补众多的牛羊与所有的地上的丰富。这样的人类将与我永存,但并不是现在的这样污秽不堪的人类,而是已被我得着的所有人的集合这样的人类。这样的人类并没有撒但的破坏、搅扰与围攻,是我打败撒但以后在地唯一生存下来的人类,就是现今被征服得应许的人类。所以,末世被征服的人类也是存留下来的得永远福分的人类,是我打败撒但以后的唯一的证据,也是唯一的战利品。这些“战利品”都是从撒但权下被我拯救出来的,都是我六千年经营计划中唯一的结晶与硕果。他们来自各邦、各派,来自全宇之下的各方、各国,有不同的民族、不同的言语、不同的风俗、不同的肤色,分布在全地之上的各邦、各派,以至于每个角落,最终又聚集在一起,组合成一个完整的人类,组合成一个没有撒但势力能达到的人的集合。

257. I am the Beginning, and I am the End. I am the resurrected and complete one true God. I speak My words before you, and you must firmly believe what I say. Heaven and earth may pass away, but not one letter or one stroke of what I say will ever pass away. Remember this! Remember it! Once I have uttered it, not a single word has ever been taken back, and each one will be fulfilled.

542. From the moment you come crying into this world, you begin to fulfill your duty. Performing your role in God’s plan and in His ordination, you start your life’s journey. Whatever your background, and whatever the journey ahead of you, no one can escape the orchestrations and arrangements of the Heaven, and no one is in control of their own destiny, for only He who rules over all things is capable of such work. Since the day man came into existence, God has ever worked thus, managing the universe, directing the rules of change for all things and the trajectory of their movement. Like all things, man is quietly and unknowingly nourished by the sweetness and rain and dew from God; like all things, man unknowingly lives beneath the orchestration of God’s hand. Man’s heart and spirit are held in the hand of God, everything of his life is beheld in the eyes of God. Regardless of whether or not you believe this, any and all things, whether living or dead, will shift, change, renew, and disappear in accordance with God’s thoughts. Such is the way in which God presides over all things.

541. Could God do something to prove His own identity? For God, this was a breeze—it was a piece of cake. He could do something anywhere, anytime to prove His identity and essence, but God had His way of doing things—with a plan, and in steps. He did not do things indiscriminately, but rather looked for the right time and the right opportunity to do something which He would allow man to see, something that truly was imbued with meaning. In this way, He proved His authority and identity. So then, could the resurrection of Lazarus prove the Lord Jesus’ identity? Let us look at the following passage of scripture: “And when He thus had spoken, He cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. And he that was dead came forth….” When the Lord Jesus did this, He said just one thing: “Lazarus, come forth.” Lazarus then came out from his tomb—this was accomplished because of just a few words uttered by the Lord. During this time, the Lord Jesus did not set up an altar, and He did not carry out any other actions. He just said this one thing. Should this be called a miracle or a command? Or was it some sort of wizardry? On the surface, it seems it could be called a miracle, and if you look at it from a modern perspective, of course you could still call it a miracle. However, it certainly could not be considered magic of the kind that is supposed to call a soul back from the dead, and it absolutely was not wizardry, of any sort. It is correct to say that this miracle was the most normal, tiny demonstration of the Creator’s authority. This is the authority and power of God. God has the authority to have a person die, to have his spirit leave his body and return to Hades, or wherever else it should go. The timing of a person’s death, and the place they will go after death—these are determined by God. He can make these decisions anytime and anywhere, unconstrained by humans, events, objects, space, or geography. If He wants to do it, He can do it, because all things and living beings are under His rule, and all things are born, live, and perish by His word and His authority. He can resurrect a dead man, and this too is something He can do anytime, anywhere. This is the authority that only the Creator possesses.
When the Lord Jesus did things like bringing Lazarus back from the dead, His goal was to give proof for humans and for Satan to see, and to let humans and Satan know that everything about mankind, mankind’s life and death are determined by God, and that even though He had become flesh, He remained in command of the physical world which can be seen as well as the spiritual world which humans cannot see. This was so that mankind and Satan would know that everything about mankind is not under the command of Satan. This was a revelation and demonstration of God’s authority, and it was also a way for God to send a message to all things, that mankind’s life and death are in God’s hands. The Lord Jesus’ resurrection of Lazarus was one of the ways in which the Creator teaches and instructs mankind. It was a concrete action in which He used His power and authority to instruct and provide for mankind. It was a way, without using words, for the Creator to allow mankind to see the truth that He is in command of all things. It was a way for Him to tell mankind through practical actions that there is no salvation other than through Him. This silent means which He used to instruct mankind is everlasting, indelible, bringing to human hearts a shock and enlightenment that can never fade. The resurrection of Lazarus glorified God—this has a deep impact on every single one of God’s followers. It firmly fixes in every person who deeply understands this event the understanding, the vision that only God can command mankind’s life and death.

16. When the entire management of God is nearing its end, God will class all things according to kind. Man was made by the hands of the Creator, and in the end He must completely return man under His dominion; this is the conclusion of the three stages of work. The stage of work of the last days, and the previous two stages in Israel and Judea, are God’s plan of management in the entire universe. No one can deny this, and it is the fact of God’s work. Although people have not experienced or witnessed much of this work, the facts are still the facts, and this is undeniable by any man. People who believe in God in every land of the universe will all accept the three stages of work. If you only know one particular stage of work, and do not understand the other two stages of work, do not understand the work of God in times past, then you are unable to speak the whole truth of God’s entire plan of management, and your knowledge of God is one-sided, for in your belief in God you do not know or understand Him, and so you are not fit to bear testimony to God. Regardless of whether your current knowledge of these things is profound or superficial, in the end, you must have knowledge, and must be thoroughly convinced, and all people will see the entirety of God’s work and submit under the dominion of God. At the end of this work, all religions will become one, all creatures will return under the dominion of the Creator, all creatures will worship the one true God, and all evil religions will come to nothing, never to appear again.

在全部经营就要结束时神将万物都各从其类,人是从造物的主手里造出来的,最终还得把人彻底归在他的权下,这是三步作工的终结。末世这步工作跟前两步在以色列与犹太的工作就是神在整个宇宙的经营计划,谁也不能否认,这是神作工的事实,虽然有许多工作人并未经历也未看见,但事实总归是事实,这是谁也否认不了的,全宇各地凡是相信神的人都会接受这三步作工的。你如果只知道某一步作工,不明白其余的两步作工,不明白以往神的作工,神整个经营计划的全部真相你就说不出来,那你对神的认识就片面,因为你信神并不认识神也不了解神,你不配做神的见证人。不管你现在对这些认识得深还是浅,到最终让你们都得有认识,都得彻底服气,让所有的人都看见神的全部作工,而且都服在神的权下。工作的最终万教都归于一教,受造之物都归在造物主的权下,所有的受造之物都敬拜这一位真神,将所有的邪教都归于乌有,从此不得再出现。

15. Such is the management of God: to hand mankind over to Satan—a mankind that does not know what God is, what the Creator is, how to worship God, or why it is necessary to submit to God—and allow Satan to corrupt him. Step by step, God then recovers man from the hands of Satan, until man fully worships God and rejects Satan. This is God’s management. This may sound like a mythical tale, and it may seem perplexing. People feel like this is a mythical story because they have no inkling of how much has happened to man over the past several thousand years, much less do they know how many stories have occurred in the cosmos and the firmament. And furthermore, that is because they cannot appreciate the more astonishing, more fear-inducing world that exists beyond the material world, but which their mortal eyes prevent them from seeing. It feels incomprehensible to man because man has no understanding of the significance of God’s salvation of mankind or the significance of the work of His management, and does not comprehend how God ultimately wishes mankind to be. Is it to be utterly uncorrupted by Satan, like Adam and Eve were? No! The purpose of God’s management is to gain a group of people who worship God and submit to Him. Although these people have been corrupted by Satan, they no longer see Satan as their father; they recognize the repulsive face of Satan and reject it, and they come before God to accept God’s judgment and chastisement. They come to know what is ugly and how it contrasts with that which is holy, and to recognize the greatness of God and the evil of Satan. A mankind such as this will no longer work for Satan, or worship Satan, or enshrine Satan. This is because they are a group of people who have truly been gained by God. This is the significance of God’s work of managing mankind. During the work of God’s management of this time, mankind is the object both of Satan’s corruption and God’s salvation, and man is the product that God and Satan are fighting over. As God performs His work, He is gradually recovering man from the hands of Satan, and so man comes ever closer to God …

神的经营就是这样:把一个根本就不知道什么是神、什么是造物主、如何敬拜神、为什么要顺服神这样一个人类交由撒但,任由撒但败坏,然后神再一步一步将人类从撒但手里夺回来,直到人类能完全敬拜神、弃绝撒但。这就是神的经营。这听起来似乎像神话故事,又似乎很令人不解。人感觉像神话故事,那是因为人并不知道这几千年来发生了多少事情在人身上,更不知道发生了多少故事在这个宇宙苍穹之间,更因为人的肉眼凡胎根本看不到在这个物质世界的背后那个更奇妙、更可怕的世界。人感到不解,那是因为人根本不了解神拯救人类的意义与神经营工作的意义,也不了解神到底要的是什么样的人类。是根本不经撒但败坏的夏娃、亚当式的人类吗?不是!神的经营就是为了得着一班敬拜神、顺服神的人类。这个人类虽经撒但败坏,但却不再把撒但当作父亲,而是认识撒但的丑恶嘴脸,弃绝它,来到神的面前接受神的审判、刑罚,知道了什么是丑陋、什么是圣洁的对比,也认识了神的伟大与撒但的邪恶。这样的人类不会再为撒但效力,不会再去朝拜撒但、供奉撒但。因为他们是一班真正被神得着的人类。这就是神经营人类的工作的意义。在这次经营工作中,人类是撒但败坏的对象,人类同时又是神拯救的对象,也是神与撒但争夺的产物。神在作着工作的同时,一步一步地将人从撒但的手中夺回来,所以,人便离神越来越近……
