Words of Almighty God of the Last Days

In the judgment beginning at the house of God spoken of in times past, the “judgment” of these words refers to the judgment that God today works on those who come before His throne in the last days. There are, perhaps, those who believe that when the last days come, God will erect a big table in the heavens, upon which a white tablecloth will be spread, and then, sitting upon a great throne with all people kneeling on the ground, He will expose the sins of each person and thereby determine whether they are to ascend to heaven or be sent down to the lake of fire and brimstone, among other such supernatural imaginings. No matter what man imagines, it cannot alter the essence of God’s work. The imaginings of man are nothing but the constructs of man’s thoughts; they come from the brain of man, summed up and pieced together from what man has seen and heard. Therefore I say, however wonderful people’s imaginings are, they are but cartoon drawings, and are incapable of substituting the plan of God’s work. Man, after all, has been corrupted by Satan, so how could he fathom the thoughts of God? Man conceives God’s work of judgment as something outlandish. He believes that since it is God Himself who does the work of judgment, then this work must be of the most tremendous scale, and incomprehensible to mortals, and must resound throughout the heavens and shake the earth; if not, how could it be the work of judgment by God? He believes that, as this is the work of judgment, then God must be particularly imposing and majestic as He works, and those being judged must be wailing with tears and on their knees begging for mercy. Such scenes would surely be spectacular, and deeply thrilling…. Everyone imagines God’s work of judgment to be miraculous. Do you know, however, that, at the time when God has long since begun His work of judgment among man, you remain nestled in lethargic slumber? That at the time when you think God’s work of judgment has formally begun, God will have already made heaven and earth anew? At that time, perhaps, you will have only just come to understand the meaning of life, but God’s merciless work of punishment shall bring you, still deep in sleep, into hell. Only then will you have a sudden realization, and understand that God’s work of judgment has already concluded.

—The Word, Vol. 1. The Appearance and Work of God. Christ Does the Work of Judgment With the Truth

At the mention of the word “judgment,” you are likely to think of the words that Jehovah spoke to instruct the people in every region and the words that Jesus spoke to rebuke the Pharisees. For all their severity, these words were not God’s judgment of man; they were but words spoken by God within different environments, that is, in different contexts. These words are unlike the words spoken by Christ of the last days as He judges man. Christ of the last days uses a variety of truths to teach man, to expose the substance of man, and to dissect the words and deeds of man. These words comprise various truths, such as man’s duty, how man should submit to God, how man should be loyal to God, how man ought to live out normal humanity, as well as the wisdom and the disposition of God. These words are all directed at the substance of man and his corrupt dispositions. In particular, the words that expose how man rejects God are even more so directed at how man is an embodiment of Satan, and an enemy force against God. In undertaking His work of judgment, God does not fully explain the nature of man in a few words; He exposes and prunes over the long term. All these different methods of exposure and pruning cannot be substituted with ordinary words; rather, the truth which man absolutely does not possess is used to carry out this work of exposure and pruning. Only methods such as these can be called judgment; only through judgment of this kind can man be subdued and thoroughly convinced about God, and moreover gain true knowledge of God. What the work of judgment brings about is man’s understanding of the true face of God and the truth about his own rebelliousness. The work of judgment has enabled man to gain much understanding of the intentions of God, of the purpose of God’s work, and of the mysteries that are incomprehensible to him. It has also enabled man to understand and know his corrupt essence and the root of his corruption, as well as to discover his ugly face. These effects are all brought about by the work of judgment, for the essence of this work is actually the work of opening up God’s truth, way, and life to all those who have faith in Him. This work is the work of judgment done by God.

—The Word, Vol. 1. The Appearance and Work of God. Christ Does the Work of Judgment With the Truth

Some believe that God may at some unknown time come to earth and appear to man, whereupon He shall personally judge the whole of mankind, testing them one by one without anyone being left out. Those who think in this way do not know this stage of work of the incarnation. God does not judge people one after another, nor are they made to pass a test one by one; to do thus would not be the work of judgment. Is not the corruption of all mankind the same? Is not the essence of all mankind the same? What is judged is mankind’s corrupt essence, man’s essence corrupted by Satan, and all the sins of man. God does not judge the trifling and insignificant faults of man. The work of judgment is representative, and it is not carried out especially for a certain person. Rather, it is work in which a group of people are judged in order to represent the judgment of all of mankind. By personally carrying out His work on a group of people, God in the flesh uses His work to represent the work of the whole of mankind, after which it is gradually spread. This is also how the work of judgment is. God does not judge a certain kind of person or a certain group of people, but instead judges the unrighteousness of the whole of mankind, such as man’s opposition to God, or man not fearing Him, or man’s disturbance of the work of God. What is judged is mankind’s essence of opposition to God, and this work of judgment is the work of conquest of the last days. The work and word of the incarnate God witnessed by man are the work of judgment before the great white throne during the last days, which man harbored in their notions during times past. The work that is currently being done by the incarnate God is exactly the judgment before the great white throne. The incarnate God of today is the God who judges the whole of mankind during the last days. This flesh and the work, word, and entire disposition of this flesh are the entirety of Him. Although the scope of the work of this flesh is limited, and does not directly involve the entire universe, the essence of the work of judgment is the direct judgment of all mankind—not only for the sake of the chosen people of China, nor for the sake of a small number of people. During the work of God in the flesh, although the scope of this work does not involve the entire universe, it represents the work of the entire universe, and after He concludes the work within the work scope of His flesh, He will immediately spread this work to every place within the universe, in the same way that the gospel of Jesus was spread following His resurrection and ascension. Regardless of whether it is the work of the Spirit or the work of the flesh, it is work that is carried out within a limited scope, but which represents the work of the entire universe. During the last days, God performs His work by appearing in His incarnate identity, and God in the flesh is the God who judges man before the great white throne. Regardless of whether He is the Spirit or the flesh, He who does the work of judgment is the God who judges mankind during the last days. This is defined based on His work, and it is not defined according to His external appearance or several other factors.

—The Word, Vol. 1. The Appearance and Work of God. Corrupt Mankind Is in Greater Need of the Salvation of the Incarnate God

Today’s work of conquest is intended to reveal what man’s outcome will be. Why is it said that today’s chastisement and judgment are judgment before the great white throne of the last days? Do you not see this? Why is the work of conquest the final stage? Is it not precisely to reveal what kind of outcome each class of man will meet? Is it not to allow everyone, in the course of the work of conquest of chastisement and judgment, to show their true colors and then afterward to be sorted according to their kind? Rather than saying this is conquering mankind, it might be better to say that this is revealing what kind of outcome there will be for each class of person. This is about judging people’s sins and then revealing the various classes of people, thereby deciding whether they are evil or righteous. After the work of conquest, then comes the work of rewarding good and punishing evil. People who submit completely—meaning the thoroughly conquered—will be placed in the next step of spreading God’s work to the entire universe; the unconquered will be placed in darkness and will meet with calamity. Thus will people be sorted according to their kind, the evil grouped with evil, to be without the light of the sun ever again, and the righteous grouped with good, to receive light and live forever in the light. The outcomes of all things are near; people’s outcomes have been clearly shown to their eyes, and all things will be sorted according to their kind. How, then, can people escape the anguish of each being sorted according to their kind? The outcome of every kind of person is revealed when the outcomes of all things are near, and this is done during the work of conquering the entire universe (including all the work of conquest, starting with the current work). The revelation of the outcomes of all people is done before the seat of judgment, in the course of the chastisement, and in the course of the work of conquest of the last days. … The conquest of the final stage is meant to save people, and also to reveal their outcomes. It is to expose people’s degeneration through judgment, thereby causing them to repent, to rise up, and to pursue life and the right path of human life. It is to wake up the hearts of the numb and obtuse people and to reveal, through judgment, their inner rebelliousness. However, if people are still unable to repent, still unable to pursue the right path of human life and unable to cast off these corruptions, then they will be the objects of Satan’s devouring, which are beyond salvation. Such is the significance of conquest: to save people, and also to reveal their outcomes. Good outcomes, bad outcomes—they are all revealed by the work of conquest. Whether people will be saved or cursed is all revealed during the work of conquest.

The last days are when all things will be sorted according to their kind through conquering. Conquering is the work of the last days; in other words, judging each person’s sins is the work of the last days. Otherwise, how could people be sorted according to their kind? The work of sorting each according to their kind that is done among you is the start of such work within the entire universe. After this, those of all lands and all peoples will also have to accept the work of conquest. This means every person in creation will have to be sorted according to their kind and surrender before the seat of judgment to be judged. No person and no thing can escape suffering this chastisement and judgment, nor is any person or thing not sorted according to its kind; every person will be classed, for the outcomes of all things draw near, and all heaven and earth has reached its conclusion. How could man escape the day when human existence comes to an end?
