In the previous two ages, one stage of my work was done in Israel and the other in Judea. In short, both stages stayed in Israel, and they occurred with those that were my chosen people from the beginning. So, the Israelites regarded Yahweh God as only being the God of Israel. And also, because Jesus did his work in Judea, completing the work of crucifixion, the Jews all thought that Jesus was only the redeemer of the Jews. They thought that he was only the king of the Jews and not of any other people. In their opinion, he was not the Lord that redeemed the English and the Americans, but rather, he was the Lord that redeemed the Israelites, and the Jews living in Israel. Actually, God is the ruler of everything. He is the God of all creation. He is not only the God of the Israelites, and he is not only the God of the Jews; he is the God of all creation. As I did the previous two stages of my work in Israel, the idea formed in man’s mind that since Yahweh did his work in Israel, and Jesus personally started his work in Judea, the Word became flesh to personally work in Judea, then no matter what, his work would not go outside the limits of Israel; he did not work among the Egyptians or Indians, but only among the people of Israel. So then, man not only formed these ideas in his mind but he also set limits around God’s work, saying that as the work God wanted to do had to be done among his chosen people, this work had to be done in Israel and that God would not work among any other people apart from the Israelites, nor have any other scope for his work. Especially with respect to God’s Word that became flesh they impose an even sterner "discipline" by not allowing him to go outside the limits of Israel. But, aren’t these all the ideas of man? As God created all things in heaven and on earth, indeed the whole creation, could he really only limit his work to Israel? If he did so, what use was it for him to have made all creation? However, he did create the whole world, and he has not only carried out his six-thousand year management plan in Israel, but also among everyone in the entire universe. Today, regardless of whether it is in China, America, England or Russia, all mankind is the offspring of Adam. All are God’s creation and none can go beyond the limits imposed upon the creation. None can escape being called the descendants of Adam. All are creatures; all are Adam’s offspring, and also, all are the descendants of Adam and Eve that were corrupted. It is not only the Israelites that are creatures; everyone else is likewise also a creature. Only, some creatures suffer curses and others receive blessings. The Israelites had many positive aspects, and the reason God worked with them first was that they were only superficially corrupted. Compared to them, the Chinese are much worse off and greatly deficient. So, I worked among the people of Israel at first, and the second stage of my work was with the Jews only. And, because of this, people have come up with many of their own ideas and former ways of doing things. Actually, if God did his work according to man’s ideas, he would only be the God of the Israelites. And then, he would not be able to extend his work among the nations. Because he would only be the God of Israel, he would not be the God of all creation. It is written in the books of the prophets that Yahweh’s name will be magnified among the nations and that his name will be preached among the nations. Why does it say this? If God were only the God of the Israelites, he would only work in Israel, and he would not extend his work further and he would not have said this. Since he did say this then, he must be going to extend his work to every nation, country and place. If he said that he would do this, it must be his plan. As he originally was the creator of heaven and earth and everything in them, he is the God of the whole creation. Regardless of whether he worked among the Israelites, or in the whole land of Judea, he is working in all the universe and among all mankind. Today, he is doing his work in the land of the great red dragon, and among the nations, and he is still doing his work in all mankind. Israel was the part of the earth that was occupied by his work, and likewise, China can also become the part of the earth occupied by his work among all nations and peoples. Won’t the word now be fulfilled that said: "Yahweh’s name will be magnified among the nations"? The first stage of his work among the nations pointed to his work in the land of the great red dragon. That the Word that became flesh would work in this part of the earth, and that he would do his work among these cursed people does not conform to man’s ideas. These are the most debased of people, and without personal value. They were people that were all forsaken by Yahweh in the beginning. It is one thing if you are forsaken by man, but if you are forsaken by God, you will have absolutely no status at all, and your personal value will be the very lowest. As a creature, you have been invaded and occupied by Satan. If you are forsaken by man, it is a matter of human suffering, but if a creature is forsaken by the creator, this means that you have the very lowest status. The offspring of Moab are cursed, and they live in a very backward country. There is no doubt that Moab’s offspring are under the power and influence of darkness and that they are a type of person with the lowest status. Because the former status of these people was very low, I have been working in them to break up their human misconceptions. This has been the most beneficial work that I have done in my entire six-thousand year management plan. In my work among these people, I have been able to completely break up their human misconceptions. Because of this I have started the age. I have broken up the misconceptions of all mankind, and I have concluded the work of the Age of Grace. When I first worked among the Jews, I worked within the limits of Israel and it was not a work of developing the age among the nations. The last stage of my work is not only being done among the nations, but it is even being done among those that are cursed, and it is conclusive proof of Satan’s humiliation. Thus God has "become" the God of all creation throughout the universe, the creator of all, and the One that is worshipped by all that have life.

There are some of you today that still do not understand what the new work that God has started actually is. He has started his work among the nations; in addition, he has started the age; and further, he has started his work and is working among the offspring of Moab; so, isn’t this his newest work? In past ages and generations, no one had ever lived through this work; they had never heard of it nor experienced it. God’s wisdom, God’s wonderfulness, God’s unfathomableness, God’s greatness, and God’s holiness have all been revealed through this stage of my work in the end times. Isn’t this his newest work in which he breaks down man’s misconceptions? There are still some that think that since God cursed Moab, he should forsake the descendants of Moab. But then, how will he now save them? They were Gentiles that had been cursed by God’s curse and the Israelites called them dogs. Everyone thought that they were not only Gentile dogs, but they were even sons of destruction, so this meant that they could not become God’s chosen ones. Although they originally lived within the boundaries of Israel, they did not belong to the people of Israel, but were banished to live among the nations, and they were the most debased people there were. It is precisely because they were the most debased of people that God started his work in this age among them. Because they represented corrupt mankind, God’s work among them was not without choice nor was it without an objective. The work God is doing among them today is also being done throughout the whole creation. Noah was created and his offspring were also created. All those that are of flesh and blood on earth are created. The work God does is directed at all creation; it is not only directed at the people that were or were not cursed after they were created. His management work is directed at all creation, and not only at the chosen ones that weren’t cursed. Since he wanted to do his work in his creation, he had no choice but to do his work in those that would be useful to his work. Therefore, it was to break up their old ways that he came to work in them, and as far as he was concerned, he had nothing to say about such things as cursing, punishing or blessing! The Jews were very good and the chosen people of Israel were fairly good too. They had good inner qualities and their human natures were also good. At first, Yahweh started his work in them, and he did his very first work in them. But up to the present, there has been no point in taking them as the object in which to do his work of conquering; because, although they were creatures, they had many positive things in them. There would be no point in doing this stage of his work in them, as they could not conquer others or convince all the creation. This was the significance of his work being transferred to the land of the great red dragon to be done in these people. The most profound significance of this was the starting of the age and the breaking up of all their old ways and human ideas. It was also the conclusion of the work of the Age of Grace. If my present day work was still being done among the Israelites, then at the end of my six-thousand year management plan, everyone would think that God was only the God of the Israelites, that only the Israelites were God’s chosen people, and that only the Israelites deserved to inherit God’s blessings and promises. God’s Word became flesh in the end times in the nation of the land of the great red dragon, and is completing his work of being the God of all creation, as well as his entire work of management. He will conclude the center of his entire management work in the land of the great red dragon. The core of the third stage of his work is the salvation of man, namely, that all creation will worship the creator. So, each stage of his work has great significance. God definitely does nothing that is without significance and value. One aspect of this stage of his work is to start the age, as the previous two ages have been concluded. Another aspect is to break up all man’s ideas as well as his outdated ways of belief and knowledge. The work of the previous two ages was done in accordance with man’s different ideas, but this stage is to completely get rid of his ideas and thereby completely conquer him. Through his conquest of Moab’s offspring and through his work in Moab’s offspring he will conquer everyone throughout the universe. This is the most profound significance of this stage of his work, and the most precious thing about it. At the present time, even if you know that you have a low status and personal value, but you still feel that you received such great blessings, obtained such great promises, were able to accomplish such a great work for God, saw God’s original features, knew God’s original nature and were able to carry out his will, then you are truly blessed. The previous two stages of my work were both done in Israel. If the stage of my work in the end times were still being done in the Israelites, all the creation would not only think that the Israelites were the only ones that were God’s chosen people, but also that the entire management plan would not achieve any results. At the time when I was doing the two stages of my work in Israel, I had never done a new work among the nations, or the work of starting an age among them. My work in this stage of starting the age is the first to be done among the nations, and it is first being done in Moab’s offspring; this is how this whole age has started. God is breaking up everything that you believe in your mind so that none of those things will exist anymore. Your ideas and former outdated ways of belief are all being broken up by my work of conquering. So, you will see that in God there are no old and outdated ways, but that the work he is doing in you will completely liberate and free you, as whatever he does is right. As long as he is working in his creation and you continue to completely obey him, everything he does will have significance as he is working in accordance with his intention and wisdom and not according to what you choose nor according to your ideas. He does whatever is of benefit to his work, and if it does not benefit it, then no matter how good it is, it will not do! He does his work according to its significance and his objectives. He chooses those in whom he will work as well as where he will work. He does not work in accordance with the old ways of the past, nor does he use the formulas of the past. He plans what he does according to the significance of his work and finally, he will achieve the true results and aims he has been expecting. If you do not know this now, his work in you has not achieved anything yet.

There is an extremely big secret in your heart that you have never yet discovered because you are living in a world without light shining. Your heart and spirit have been snatched away by the evil one; both your eyes have been covered by the darkness and cannot see the sun in the heavens, nor the flickering star in the nighttime sky; both your ears have been blocked by deceptive speech and cannot hear Yahweh’s thunderous voice, nor the sound of many waters flowing from above the throne. You have lost everything that you originally had. You have lost everything that Almighty God has given you and have entered a boundless sea of woe without any strength to save yourself and without any hope of returning alive. You only struggle and rush around…. From that moment, you were doomed to suffer at the hands of the evil one, being far removed from the blessings and the provision of Almighty God and going along a road of no return. Millions of voices are calling out to you, but it is hard to arouse your heart and your spirit. You are fast asleep in the hand of the evil one. The evil one has lured you into a boundless region. You have lost your direction; there are no landmarks. From then on, you lost the innocence and guilelessness you had at first, and began to shun the care of Almighty God. That evil one is in your heart. He has directed your everything, and has become your life. You no longer fear, shun or doubt him. Rather, you regard him as God in your heart and you have begun to revere and worship him. You are both inseparable and have promised to be together in life and in death. When all is said and done, you absolutely do not know where you come from, what you are living for, and what you will "die" for. You regard Almighty God as a stranger. You do not know where he came from; neither do you know all that he has done for you. Everything that has come from him, you have regarded with hatred. You do not treasure it and you are not aware of the value that pertains to it. You have been a colleague of the evil one, starting from the day that Almighty God began to provide for you. Through several thousand years of trials and hardships, you went your way, in the company of the evil one, and together you "resisted" the God that once was the source of your life. You don’t know that you should repent, and even less do you know that you have already got to the point of being destroyed. You have forgotten that the evil one has seduced you and caused you harm. You have forgotten how you were at first, and in this way, the evil one has progressively treated you cruelly until this day. Your heart and your spirit have been apathetic and decadent. You no longer complain about the troubles of this world, and no longer think about the injustices of this world, and do not even care whether Almighty God exists or not. Because you have long considered that evil one as your natural father, you have not yet been able to leave him – this is the "secret" you hold in your heart.

When the day dawns, a morning star starts to light up the east. This star has never been there before. It lights up the quiet starlit sky and it kindles the lights that have gone out in men’s hearts. The lights make man not feel lonely any more. They are lighting you up, and also lighting up others. But only you are still deeply sleeping in the darkness. You do not hear the voice and you do not see the light. You do not perceive that the new heaven and new earth and the new age have come, because your father has told you: "Do not get up, son, it is still early. The weather is cold. Do not go outside, lest your eyes be pierced with sword or spear." You only believe in your father’s urgings because you believe that only your father is right and because he is older than you and loves you dearly. Such urgings and strong love cause you to no longer believe it when they say that the light is on the earth, and no longer take notice of whether or not the truth exists in the world, and no longer hope for the help of Almighty God. But you merely feel content with the current situation and no longer eagerly hope for the arrival of the light and no longer keep a lookout for the arrival of Almighty God. It seems to you that every beautiful thing cannot come to life again and exist. In your eyes, mankind’s tomorrow and his future have disappeared and been destroyed. You have tightly pulled at your father’s coat, being willing to undergo suffering with him, for deep fear of losing your companion and losing your "direction" for your distant journey. The perplexed human world has trained you, one by one, to dauntlessly fill different roles in this world with an attitude of "rather die than submit." It has also trained you, one by one, to be "warriors" who are basically not afraid of death. It has even trained you, group by group, to be apathetic, paralyzed people who do not know why they were created. When the eyes of Almighty God are in every place observing every deeply suffering human being, and he listens to them wailing on account of their anguish, what he sees is their shameless attitude, and what he feels is the helplessness and terror of their loss of salvation. Mankind refuses his care and wants to go his own way. They shun it when his eyes inspect them. Along with the enemy, they would rather fully savor the bitter taste of the deep ocean. People can no longer hear Almighty God’s sighs, and Almighty God’s two hands no longer wish to gently caress and stroke this miserable human race. Retaken time and time again, and lost time and time again; his work has been repeated like that. Right from that moment, he feels tiredness and loathing. Then he stops what he is doing and does not roam among mankind any more…. Basically, people do not feel this change, and they do not feel Almighty God’s comings and goings, nor his disappointment and regret.

In Almighty God’s sight, all things in the world are fast being changed by his thoughts. Things man has never heard about, come suddenly. Things man has had for a long time can disappear without his knowing it. No one can fully measure the ways of Almighty God, and even less can anyone feel the transcendence and greatness of the power of Almighty God’s life. His transcendence lies in the things that he can feel but that man cannot perceive. His greatness lies in his being forsaken by man yet still being the One that saves mankind. He knows the meaning of life and death. He even knows what rules for living, created beings should have. He is the foundation of man’s life and is also the redeemer for man’s coming to life again. He changes the joyful heart into mourning and the mourning heart into joy for the sake of his work and his plan.

Man has deserted Almighty God’s provision for his life. He doesn’t know why he is alive, while at the same time, he fears death. He has no one he can rely upon, and no one to help him, yet he is still unwilling to close both his eyes. He has lost his spiritual perception, bracing himself to lead an unworthy existence in this world. You live so hopelessly and others also lead such an aimless existence. Only the Holy One, they say, will save those who expect his coming while moaning in their sufferings. This belief still can’t be fulfilled in unperceptive man even after a delay of a long time; however, they are still expecting it to be so. Almighty God pities man in his extreme suffering, while at the same time, he is tired of this basically unperceptive human race, because he has to wait for such a long time before getting any answers from it. He has to seek: seek your heart and seek your spirit, give you water and give you food so that you will regain consciousness and no longer be thirsty and hungry. When you feel exhausted, and feel a bit of the desolation of this world, do not be perplexed, nor weep. Almighty God – the watchman – will embrace you whenever you arrive. He abides by your side, waiting for you to turn back and waiting for the day on which you suddenly recover your memory: Then you will know that you came from him, and at some moment you lost your way, becoming unconscious on the road and finding your "father." You will also know that Almighty God has always been there, for a very, very long time, waiting for you to return. He is eagerly looking forward to, and waiting for, a reply with no answer. His waiting and watching for man is beyond price; it is for man’s heart and for his spirit. Perhaps he will watch and wait for you for unlimited time, perhaps he has watched and waited to the end, but you should know, when all is said and done, where your heart and your spirit actually are.

11 February 2004

The question that I am most concerned is to whom your hearts are actually loyal. And I hope that each of you will put your own thoughts in order and ask yourself to whom you are actually loyal and for whom you are actually living. Perhaps you have never seriously considered such a question. In that case, let me help you unlock the answer to this question!

All those who have memory will acknowledge this fact: People are all living for themselves, and people are all loyal to themselves. I don’t think that your answer is totally correct. Because each of you is living in your own life and is struggling in your own sufferings, what you are loyal to are the people whom you love and the things that you like, and you are not ones who are totally loyal to yourselves. Because each of you is influenced by the people, matters, and things that are close to you, you are not ones who are really loyal to yourselves. The reason why I say these words is not that I am approving of you all being loyal to yourselves, but that I am exposing your loyalty by which to be loyal to anything. For, over so many years, I have never received the "loyalty" of any one of you. You, who have followed me for so many years, have not had the slightest "loyalty" to me. Rather, you have been centering around the people and things that you love, even to the point where you firmly attach them to heart at any time and any place and, moreover, have never discarded them. You crave any kind of thing that you love and ardently love any kind of thing that you are keen on at the same time as you are following me, and even at the same time as you are listening to my word. So, I say that you are all taking advantage of the loyalty I require of you, to be loyal to your pets and to treasure your pets. Although you have also contributed a little bit to me, this does not represent everything that you have or represent that the one to whom you are truly loyal is me. You invest yourselves in the cause that you ardently love. Some are loyal to their children, some are loyal to their husbands, some are loyal to their wives, some are loyal to money, some are loyal to their work, some are loyal to their direct superiors, some are loyal to position, and some are loyal to women. For the sake of the things to which you are loyal, you have never felt tired and have never felt vexed but have been increasingly desiring that you can more and better possess the things to which you are loyal, and moreover, you have never given up. With respect to me and to the words I have spoken, you have always put them last, behind all the things that you crave and, moreover, have no choice but to put them in the last place. Some people even reserve the last place for the things that they have not yet discovered and that they are going to be loyal to. There has never been the slightest trace of me in their hearts. Perhaps you will think that I am making excessive demands of you and that I am wronging you. But, have you ever thought about this: When your whole families are happy together, have you thought that you have not been loyal to me even once? At this time, don’t you feel distressed about this? When you are overflowing with joy at receiving your hard-earned stipend, don’t you feel depressed because you have not been equipped with enough truth? When have you wept bitterly because you have not received my commendation? You rack your brains and spare no effort for the sake of your children. Even so, you are still not satisfied and still feel that you have not been conscientious with your children and have not dedicated all your strength. But with me, you have always been careless, and I am only in your memory but do not exist forever in your hearts. As for the painstaking care and attention I have expended on you, you have never appreciated and have never been considerate of it, but you have only done a little thinking about it and then think that is enough. This kind of "loyalty" is not what I have been expecting for a long time but is what I have hated for a long time. However, no matter what I say, you still only acknowledge a little bit and cannot accept all of it, because you are all very self-confident and as for my words, you always accept them by picking and choosing. If you are still like this now, then I certainly have the methods to deal with your self-confidence; moreover, I will cause you all to acknowledge that everything I have spoken is true and is not a distortion of the facts.

Now if some money were put before each of you and you were allowed to choose freely, and moreover, you would not be condemned, then most of you would all choose the money and give up the truth; the better ones would painfully give up the money and reluctantly choose the truth; those in the middle would grab the money with one hand and grab the truth with the other. In this way, wouldn’t your true features be self-evident? Between anything to which you are "loyal" and the truth, you will choose likewise, and your attitude will still be like this. Isn’t this so? Haven’t many people among you all wavered between right and wrong? Family and God, children and God, harmony and break, affluence and poverty, status and commonness, being supported and being rejected, and so on, in all these struggles between right and wrong, black and white, what have you chosen? It is most unlikely that you are unclear about this! Between a harmonious family and a broken family, you have chosen the former and, moreover, without the slightest hesitation; between money and duty, you have also chosen the former even without having any resolution to return to shore; between luxury and poverty, you have chosen the former; between your children, wife, or husband and me, you have chosen the former; between notions and the truth, you have still chosen the former. Facing your various kinds of evil deeds, I simply lose my confidence in you, and I am simply shocked; your hearts even stay so hardened. What I gain by many years of painstaking care turns out to be your desertion of me and your resignedness. However, my expectations for you have increased with each passing day, because my day has already been completely revealed before everyone. But, now you are still pursuing after dark and evil things and are unwilling to let go. In this case, what will your final outcomes be? Have you ever seriously thought about this? If you are allowed to choose once again, what kind of attitude will you have? Could it be the former? Will what you repay me still be disappointment and distressed grief? Will there still only be a little bit of warmth in your hearts? Do you still not know what to do to console my heart? What are you choosing right now? Obedience to my word or boredom with it? My day has already been laid before your eyes, and what you are confronted with is a new life and a new starting point. But, I want to tell you that this starting point is not a start of a new work as in the past but is the end of the old work, that is, the final act. I think all of you can understand how unusual this starting point is! However, on a day soon to come, you will understand the real implication of this starting point. So, let’s pass this starting point together and meet the next end! However, concerning you, what I still feel anxious about is: When facing unrighteousness and righteousness, you have always chosen the former. However, all that is your past. I also wish to forget all the things in your past, one after the other, but this is very difficult to do. Nevertheless, I have a very good method. That is: replacing the past with the future and letting the shadow of your past disappear, in exchange for your true features of today. Thus, there is no choice but to bother you to choose once again; let’s see: to whom are you actually loyal?
