道成肉身

Yesterday we shared that God will come to do the work of judgment, do you still remember He will come as flesh or spirit to do the work of judgment? 

“For the Father judges no man, but has committed all judgment to the Son” (John 5:22). 

“And has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of man” (John 5:27). 

Through these verses, we know God will come to do the judgment by the flesh, and do you still remember how will the Lord return in the last days? 

Secret arrival before great tribulation

Revelation 3:3 “If therefore you shall not watch, I will come on you as a thief, and you shall not know what hour I will come on you" 

Revelation 3:20 “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me” 

Luke 17:24-25 For as the lightning that flashes out of one part under heaven shines to the other part under heaven, so also the Son of Man will be in His day. 25 But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

Public arrival after the great tribulation

Revelation 1:7 “Behold, he comes with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him” 

Why Incarnation? 

So, why did God decide to incarnate in the flesh to appear and work? Speaking precisely, humankind’s corruption required God to come incarnate to do the work of salvation. In other words, only the coming incarnate could accomplish the complete salvation of humankind. God came incarnate twice to redeem and save humankind. The Lord Jesus was the incarnate God, and He came to do the work of redemption. Some might ask, Why didn’t God use a person to do the work of redemption? Why did God incarnate? Because every member of corrupt humankind carries sin, we are all sinners, meaning that there were no qualified sin offerings. Only the incarnate Son of man was without sin, so God incarnated as the Son of man up also allowed humankind to know God’s sincere love and mercy for them.

Many people will ask, Since the Lord Jesus is God incarnate and has done the work of redemption, and humankind has already been saved and turned toward God, why does God still need to come incarnate in the last days to do the work of judgment to save humankind? There is a very profound meaning in this. To put it simply, God coming twice incarnate to redeem humankind, and then to completely purify and save us was predetermined by God long before the world was created.  

 “I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. However, when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth” (John 16:12–13).

*“God’s saving of man is not done directly using the method of the Spirit and the identity of the Spirit, for His Spirit can neither be touched nor seen by man, neither can man draw near. If He tried to save man directly using the perspective of the Spirit, man would be unable to receive His salvation. If God did not put on the outward form of a created man, there would be no way for man to receive this salvation. For man has no way of approaching Him, much as no one was able to go near the cloud of Jehovah. Only by becoming a created human being, that is, only by putting His word into the body of flesh that He is about to become, can He personally work the word into all who follow Him. Only then can man personally see and hear His word, and moreover enter into possession of His word, and by this means come to be fully saved. If God did not become flesh, no one of flesh and blood would be able to receive such great salvation, nor would a single person be saved. If the Spirit of God worked directly in the midst of mankind, all humanity would be struck down, or else, with no way of coming into touch with God, they would be completely carried away captive by Satan.”* 

Now I think we all understand a bit better why God would personally perform the work of judgment in the flesh. Because the judgment is done by the truth. 

And God becoming flesh is the only way for Him to interact with people practically, to speak and fellowship on truth with us wherever and whenever, expose and judge us according to the corruption we reveal, and water, shepherd, and support us according to our needs. It’s the only way He can clearly communicate God’s will and requirements. Isn’t personally hearing about God’s way and understanding the truths He expresses most beneficial for our acquisition of the truth and salvation? 

Additionally, when God becomes flesh as a regular, everyday sort of person, would you say people might have notions, that they might be rebellious? Definitely. The moment people see Christ’s very normal outward appearance, their notions, rebelliousness, and resistance arise, and even if they don’t say anything or let it show, no matter how well they pretend, God is watching, and no attempts at hiding this can succeed. God reveals whatever is hidden within people, hitting the nail right on the head. So, only God in the flesh can best expose people, revealing their rebelliousness and resistance. This is most beneficial for the judgment work. 

What if God uttered words directly through the Spirit? People couldn’t see, touch, or draw near to His Spirit, and His Spirit speaking would be terrifying. Then how could they bare their hearts to God, or learn truths? And who would dare to have notions when faced with the Spirit? Who’d dare reveal corruption, or be rebellious or resistant? No one would. Everyone would be shaking with fright, prostrating themselves, faces ashen. With people in such a frightened state, how could the truth of them be exposed? None of their notions or rebellions would show, so how could judgment be performed? What evidence would there be? This is why the work of God’s Spirit couldn’t unearth people’s most genuine behaviors, exposing them, and God’s judgment work couldn’t be completed. And God’s incarnation is more effective for judgment work than His Spirit. 

What is God’s incarnation?

“The ‘incarnation’ is God’s appearance in the flesh; God works among created mankind in the image of the flesh. So for God to be incarnated, He must first be flesh, flesh with normal humanity; this is the most basic prerequisite. In fact, the implication of God’s incarnation is that God lives and works in the flesh, that God in His very essence becomes flesh, becomes a man” 

 “The Christ with normal humanity is a flesh in which the Spirit is realized, and is possessed of normal humanity, normal sense, and human thought. ‘Being realized’ means God becoming man, the Spirit becoming flesh; to put it more plainly, it is when God Himself inhabits a flesh with normal humanity, and through it expresses His divine work—this is what it means to be realized, or incarnated”

“Because He is a man with the essence of God, He is above all created humans, above any man who can perform God’s work. And so, among all those with a human shell like His, among all those who possess humanity, only He is the incarnate God Himself—all others are created humans. Though they all have humanity, created humans have nothing but humanity, while God incarnate is different: In His flesh He not only has humanity but, more importantly, divinity. His humanity can be seen in the outer appearance of His flesh and in His everyday life, but His divinity is difficult to perceive. Because His divinity is expressed only when He has humanity, and is not as supernatural as people imagine it to be, it is extremely difficult for people to see. … Since God becomes flesh, His essence is a combination of humanity and divinity. This combination is called God Himself, God Himself on earth” 

 After listening to these passages, what is incarnation? 

incarnation is the realization of God’s Spirit in the flesh, which is to say that God’s Spirit puts on flesh to become an ordinary person, and then appears and works in the human world. Simply put, it means that God’s Spirit puts on the flesh and becomes the Son of man. Outwardly, the incarnate God is a normal, ordinary person, someone neither lofty nor extraordinary, who eats, clothes Himself, and transports Himself just like ordinary people and lives an ordinary life. He needs to eat when He is hungry and sleep when He is tired, He experiences normal human emotions, He really and actually lives among man, and no one can see that He is the practical God incarnate. Just like the Lord Jesus, He is the incarnate God, who possesses normal humanity, undergoes a normal growth process, has human thought, and obeys normal laws of human life, and He looks like an ordinary, normal person on the outside. But how is He different from the created beings? It is that He has the Spirit of God dwelling in Him, and He has the divinity that people do not possess. The Lord Jesus can do God’s own work in His normal humanity, ending the old age and ushering in the new age, expressing the truth to save people, expressing God’s merciful and loving disposition, taking on the sins of humanity, and doing the work of redeeming humanity. The created human beings only have humanity and do not have the essence of divinity, and can never be able to express the truth or do the work of God. With the essence of divinity, the Lord Jesus’ identity and status and His work are naturally different from those of any human being. So, in simple terms, what is the essence of incarnation? It is the combination of divinity and normal humanity. This is the incarnate God, and also called Christ.

Does the incarnate God fall down from the sky directly? or He needs to be born of flesh, as a baby first?

Does the incarnate God have a childhood?

Does the incarnate God need to eat, drink, sleep?

Can the incarnate God cry when He is sad? Can incarnate God dance when He is happy?

Normal humanity :  born of flesh, eat, sleep, walk, need to take transportation from one place to the other, have human emotions such as happiness, sadness, and pain.     ( He looks normal outwardly, not supernatural) 

God incarnate is normal and practical; He is born of normal people, has normal humanity, undergoes a normal growth process, and obeys normal laws of human life; He needs to eat, sleep, and dress normally, has normal emotions, and engages in all normal human activities. These are the normal instincts that the flesh should have, and they are also the principles that God incarnate must follow. As we all know, the Lord Jesus did not become an adult as soon as He was born, nor did He start to work and express the truth as soon as He was born, but He grew up normally and matured in humanity to be able to take on the work of God, and then He began to formally carry out His ministry. The Lord Jesus did not fly or teleport to work and preach in Judea; He walked and rode boats. His feet would hurt and His body would get tired after walking long distances, and He needed to rest normally. He would eat or drink when He was hungry or thirsty. When the Lord Jesus knew that He would be crucified on the cross, He felt weak in flesh and afraid in His heart, but He could pray to God and be willing to submit to God’s will. These are all normal and actual manifestations of the flesh. Is there anything extraordinary? No. If the flesh of God incarnate is as extraordinary as people imagine, then is there still the humanity and essence of the flesh? No. Is that still called a normal flesh? It is not normal. Can it still be called incarnation? No. Then does the meaning of incarnation still exist? No. Then can there be a flesh only with divinity but no normal humanity? It simply does not exist. 

Why does incarnate God possess normal humanity?

God incarnate possess normal humanity, neither lofty, nor supernatural, only in this way can He approach man, water man, shepherd man in a better way.  

God, the Lord of creation, is so supreme and almighty, yet He comes to earth to work by putting on a humble, ordinary flesh instead of a great, tall, and admirable flesh, and lives with people face to face. Can any corrupted human do that? This fully reveals God’s humility and hiddenness, and it shows His disposition is so lovely. The flesh of God incarnate is ordinary in appearance and possesses normal humanity, and is vastly different from the flesh that people imagine, so people often treat Him as an ordinary person, daring to be disrespectful to Him, daring to judge and condemn Him at will. This reveals all those who are arrogant and conceited, do not love the truth, and do not accept the truth, all those who cannot understand the voice of God, and do not know the essence of the incarnation of God, and those types of Satan who hate the truth in their hearts and are enemies of God. At the same time, it also reveals those who love the truth, can seek the truth and accept the truth, and can understand the voice of God. Here demonstrates the wisdom of God's work! Therefore, all those who always judge and define God incarnate based on their imaginations and notions, but do not seek to know the essence of Christ, are walking on the path of the Pharisees who resist God. How can such people obtain the salvation of Christ?

God’s incarnation =  Normal humanity + Divinity 

At this point, someone may ask: “Since God incarnates has a human shell and normal humanity, and does not do anything supernatural, how can we know the divine essence of the incarnate God?” The appearance of God incarnate is very ordinary and normal, and His divinity works under the cover of humanity. It is indeed impossible to see His essence from the outside. So, how should we know the essence of the incarnation of God? Let's read a few passages. 

*“ Since God becomes flesh, He shall bring forth the work He must do, and since God becomes flesh, He shall express what He is, and shall be able to bring the truth to man, bestow life upon man, and show man the way. Flesh that does not contain the substance of God is surely not the incarnate God; of this there is no doubt. To investigate whether it is God’s incarnate flesh, man must determine this from the disposition He expresses and the words He speaks. Which is to say, whether or not it is God’s incarnate flesh, and whether or not it is the true way, must be judged from His substance. And so, in determining whether it is the flesh of God incarnate, the key is to pay attention to His substance (His work, His words, His disposition, and many more), rather than external appearance. If man sees only His external appearance, and overlooks His substance, then that shows the ignorance and naivety of man.”* 

This passage tells us the principles of how to discern the incarnate God. Since He becomes flesh, He possesses the essence of divinity, He has the authority and power of God, and He can do God’s own work, redeem all mankind, express the truth to judge and purify mankind, completely save mankind from sin and from Satan’s influence, and bring mankind to a beautiful destination. Since He is God in the flesh, He can express the voice of God, and He can speak to the whole universe and all mankind; His words are majestic and authoritative, which are the unique characteristics of the Creator’s speech. Since He is the incarnate God, He can express God’s disposition and what He is; from His work and words, people can see God’s disposition of compassion and love, God’s majesty and wrath, and His righteous disposition that brooks no offense by man. Therefore, to determine whether it is the flesh of God incarnate, we must mainly discern based on God’s work, words, and disposition. We must absolutely not judge from His family background, appearance, height, status and authority, normal humanity, or whether His flesh has any extraordinary abilities. This is the principle of recognizing the incarnate God! 

Let’s take the Lord Jesus for example. All true believers in the Lord acknowledge that He is the incarnate God. So how do we recognize the essence of the Lord Jesus? The Lord Jesus worked among men and expressed many truths that people need. He brought the gospel of the kingdom to man, gave man the way of repentance, and taught man to confess and repent, to be tolerant, patient, forgiving, and merciful for others, and to love others as themselves. He also told man how to love God, told man to love God with all his heart, mind, and soul. The Lord Jesus always treated man with mercy and love, and no matter what sins man had committed before, He forgave man unconditionally, comforted man, and never looked at man’s past sins. In the end, He bore the sins of man, and was crucified for man, completing the work of redeeming all mankind. Let’s take a look at the characteristics of the Lord Jesus’ words. His words are full of authority and power. With a word, He calmed the wind and sea; with a word, He raised Lazarus from the dead; He fed five thousand people with five loaves and two fishes; … The Lord Jesus opened the Age of Grace and ended the Age of Law. He led people out of the bondage of the law, allowing them to obtain freedom, and bringing them into a new age. From the Lord Jesus’ work and words and the revelation of His disposition, we feel that the Lord Jesus is the truth, the way, and the life, and that He is God manifesting among man. 

Having said that, I think what some people are most concerned about now is this: When our Lord Jesus comes back in the last days as a flesh, how do we recognize Him? Then let’s see what kind of work our Lord Jesus will come to do in the last days? 

John 16:12-13 *I have yet many things to say to you*, but you cannot bear them now. However, when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, *he will guide you into all truth*: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and *he will show you things to come*.

Revelation 2: 7 He that hath an ear, let him *hear* what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

Revelation 5:1-5 *And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.* And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? *And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.* And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. And one of the elders said to me, Weep not: *Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.*

Daniel 12:4 "But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased."

Daniel 12:9-10 "And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand."

Through these Bible verses, it’s easy to find out in the last days when the Lord comes, He will speak many new words, open the sealed book and guide us into all the truth. So we must be clear: When the Lord returns in the last days, He appears as the Son of man and expresses all truths, and the key for us in seeking the Lord’s appearance is to search for where all these truths expressed by the Lord are, to search for the church within which God is speaking. Once you have discovered the truths expressed by the Son of man, you can find the appearance and work of God by following that voice to its source. As soon as you discover that all the truths expressed by the Lord are the ones that will purify and save humanity, you will accept the Lord’s return, and then you will have welcomed Him. 

“Sanctify them through your truth: your word is truth” (John 17:17). 

“And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejects me, and receives not my words, has one that judges him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day” (John 12:47–48). 

“For the Father judges no man, but has committed all judgment to the Son” (John 5:22). 

When we ponder these scriptures, it is not hard to see that God will become flesh again in the last days to express the truth and perform a further work of judgment and chastisement. This stage of work is the work of thoroughly purifying people and saving them. This is the key if we want to be free from sin and stop resisting God. Freedom from sin cannot be achieved by how hard we try to restrain ourselves or how we think of ways to solve it. The key is to follow the footsteps of the Lamb and accept God’s work of judgment in the last days. Only thus can we be purified. Only such people can be saved and enter the kingdom of heaven. That is, experiencing God’s work of judgment in the last days is the key to your salvation and entering the kingdom of heaven. 

First coming of Lord Jesus: brought many truth & did the work of redemption

Second coming of Lord Jesus: opens the sealed book & does the work of judgment

How can we recognize God in flesh? 

A. By His physical appearance. 

B. By the family and country in which He is born. 

C. By His work and words. 

D. By signs and wonders.

They also heard the pastors and elders say, “The Bible says, ‘Then if any man shall say to you, See, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; so that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect’ (Matthew 24:23–24). This is the Lord’s warning to us. Anyone who preaches that the Lord has returned is a false Christ and a deceiver. Do not believe it! If you are deceived by false Christs and betray the Lord Jesus, you will have no chance of being raptured into the kingdom of heaven!” 

Many Christians yearn to welcome the Lord as soon as possible. But if when someone testifies to them that the Lord returns, they adhere to these verses, “Then if any man shall say to you, See, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; so that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect” (Matthew 24:23–24). They dare not seek or investigate for fear of being deceived by false Christs and losing the opportunity to be raptured into the kingdom of heaven. Is this attitude of waiting for the coming of the Lord correct? Is it in line with God’s will?

"The Lord Jesus said that false Christs and false prophets would appear in the last days, but the Lord also prophesied that He would surely come again in the last days. When you hear someone preach the news of the Lord’s return, you think it is false, and do not seek or investigate it, because false Christs will appear in the last days. Isn’t this giving up eating for fear of choking? Believers in the Lord must have correct views on welcoming the Lord’s return and cannot abide by rules. Now the last days have already arrived, and you must be clear about three things: Firstly, the Lord will definitely come again. Secondly, false Christs will also come. Thirdly, there will be more antichrists. But no matter how many false Christs and antichrists there are, the Lord will surely, definitely come again. This is certain. When the Lord comes back, if you only think false Christs will come out to mislead people and don’t think about how to welcome the Lord, then how can you welcome the Lord? It is the prophecy of the Lord that He will return. When the Lord comes in the last days, He is incarnated and becomes Christ. Christ has divine essence. He comes to express the truth and do the work of judgment to save people. But there are still false Christs appearing to mislead people, and many antichrists opposing Christ. How do you distinguish and choose between these three? How can you welcome the Lord? Faced with such great difficulties and challenges, if you don’t know who is true and who is false, it is easy to miss the opportunity to welcome the Lord. If you say, “I am afraid of being misled, so I will not choose, nor will I welcome the Lord,” is this okay? If you don’t welcome the Lord, you can’t enter the kingdom of heaven, and you can’t gain salvation. Therefore, you cannot stop searching for and welcoming the Lord just because false Christs appear to mislead people, nor can you deny that Christ is God just because there are antichrists who always condemn Christ. You must seek the truth to resolve this issue.

How should we distinguish between the true Christ and false Christs? What is the main thing to look at to distinguish between true and false Christs? They may be similar on the outside, for they are all humans, just with slightly different looks, different levels of education, and different families from which they were born. But these things are not important. You have to look at who can express the truth. This is the key. The One who can express the truth has divine essence, and He must be Christ. Anyone who cannot express the truth has no divine essence and is definitely not God

Then why only true Christ can express the truth and false christs cannot? What is exactly the truth?

“The truth comes from the world of man, yet the truth among man is passed on by Christ. It originates from Christ, that is, from God Himself, and this is not something man is capable of”

“God Himself is life, and the truth, and His life and truth coexist”

“God Himself is the truth, and He possesses all truth. God is the source of the truth. Every positive thing and every truth come from God. He can pass judgment on the rightness and wrongness of all things and all events; He can pass judgment on things that have happened, things that are happening now, and future things yet unknown to man. God is the only Judge who can pass judgment on the rightness and wrongness of all things, and this means the rightness and wrongness of all things can only be judged by God. He knows the criteria for all things. He can express truths at any time and place. God is the embodiment of truth, which means that He Himself is possessed of the essence of truth. … What exactly is the essence of the embodiment of truth? It is the source that provides the truth, the source of governance and sovereignty over all things, and it is also the sole criteria and standards by which all things and all events are judged. This is the embodiment of truth”

If someone cannot express the truth but can only talk about some prophecies, Bible knowledge, and theological theories, which makes people feel he is inscrutable, if he says that he is Christ, that is not right. This is a false Christ misleading people. No matter how high his language skills are, or how well he can explain mysteries, it is useless. As long as he cannot express the truth, he is a sham, and he is definitely not Christ. Antichrists always condemn Christ, resist Christ, and fabricate all kinds of lies to mislead people. Can they express the truth? If they cannot express the truth, then they are even more fake, right? (Yes.) To identify who is Christ depends on who can express the truth. Whoever can express the truth is the Christ, which is certain. If this Christ can express the truth, but some people say that He is an ordinary person and preach about His family situation and others, don’t worry about whether these things are true or false, but just see if what He expresses is the truth or not. If it is the truth, then He must be God. If He is God, regardless of whether the things others say are accurate or not, He is still God. If you don’t accept Him, then you should be abandoned and cast out by God and lose the opportunity to be saved and enter the kingdom of heaven. If you even follow those people to blaspheme and judge Christ, then you are resisting God, and you will be punished by God. 

If we wish to welcome the return of the Lord, and not be deceived by false Christs and false prophets, then we must understand how false Christs deceive people. Actually, the Lord Jesus has already told us about the deceitful practices of false Christs and false prophets. The Lord Jesus said: “For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; so that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect” (Matthew 24:24). 

The words of the Lord Jesus show us that false Christs and false prophets mainly rely on performing signs and wonders to deceive God’s chosen people. This is the primary manifestation of false Christs’ and false prophets’ deception of people. In this, we must understand why false Christs and false prophets use the signs and wonders to deceive people. Above all, it is because false Christs and false prophets are utterly devoid of the truth. In nature and substance, they are extremely wicked evil spirits. So they have to rely on signs and wonders to deceive people. If false Christs and false prophets were possessed of the truth, they wouldn’t use signs and wonders to deceive people. Looked at in this way, false Christs and false prophets perform signs and wonders because that’s all they can do. If we can’t see this, then it will be extremely easy for them to deceive us. Only Christ is the truth, the way, and the life. The One who can express the truth, and show people the way, and give them the life is the One who is Christ. Those who are incapable of doing these are surely false Christs, they’re fakes. This is the basic principle of identifying false Christs and false prophets. All those who seek and examine the true way should abide by this principle to seek and ascertain the voice of God, and in this they do no wrong.

“If, during the present day, there is to emerge a person who is able to display signs and wonders, and can cast out demons, and heal, and perform many miracles, and if this person claims that they are the coming of Jesus, then this would be the counterfeit of evil spirits, and their imitation of Jesus. Remember this! God does not repeat the same work. Jesus’ stage of work has already been completed, and God will never again undertake that stage of work. … In the conceptions of man, God must always display signs and wonders, must always heal and cast out demons, and must always be just like Jesus, yet this time God is not like that at all. If, during the last days, God still displayed signs and wonders, and still cast out demons and healed—if He did exactly the same as Jesus—then God would be repeating the same work, and the work of Jesus would have no significance or value. Thus, God carries out one stage of work in every age. Once each stage of His work has been completed, it is soon imitated by evil spirits, and after Satan begins to follow on the heels of God, God changes to a different method; once God has completed a stage of His work, it is imitated by evil spirits. You must be clear about these things” 

Not ever does the work of God conform to the conceptions of man, for His work is always new and never old. Not ever does He repeat work of old but rather forges ahead with work never before done” 

These words clearly tell us that God is always new and never old, and never repeats His work. In substance, false Christs are wicked, they are evil spirits and totally devoid of the truth. And so, they have to rely on signs and wonders to deceive people. Or else they deceive and admonish people by imitating the tone of God’s words and simple words once spoken by God. 

“Those who wish to gain life without relying on the truth spoken by Christ are the most ridiculous people on earth, and those who do not accept the way of life brought by Christ are lost in fantasy. And so I say that those who do not accept Christ of the last days shall forever be loathed by God. Christ is man’s gateway to the kingdom during the last days, and there are none who can go around Him. None may be perfected by God except through Christ. You believe in God, and so you must accept His words and obey His way. You cannot only think of gaining blessings while being incapable of receiving the truth and incapable of accepting the provision of life. Christ comes during the last days so that all those who truly believe in Him may be provided with life. His work is for the sake of concluding the old age and entering the new one, and His work is the path that must be taken by all those who would enter the new age. If you are incapable of acknowledging Him, and instead condemn, blaspheme, or even persecute Him, then you are bound to burn for eternity and shall never enter the kingdom of God. For this Christ is Himself the expression of the Holy Spirit, the expression of God, the One whom God has entrusted to do His work on earth. And so I say that if you cannot accept all that is done by Christ of the last days, then you blaspheme the Holy Spirit. The retribution to be had by those who blaspheme the Holy Spirit is self-evident to all. I also tell you that if you resist Christ of the last days, if you spurn Christ of the last days, there will be no one else to bear the consequences on your behalf. Furthermore, from this day onward you will not have another chance to gain the approval of God; even if you try to redeem yourself, you will never again behold the face of God. For what you resist is not a man, what you spurn is not some puny being, but Christ. Do you know what the consequences of this will be? You will not have made a small mistake, but committed a heinous crime. And so I advise everyone not to bare your fangs before the truth, or make careless criticisms, for only the truth can bring you life, and nothing except the truth can allow you to be reborn and behold the face of God again”.
