17 God Is Upon the Throne
I
Almighty God has become flesh and utters His words;
He appears to work,
carrying out judgment of the last days
and bringing the Age of Kingdom.
God’s chosen people are raised up before God
and we prostrate in worship to God.
Almighty God is upon the glorious throne—how glorious and beautiful!
It is the utterances of God
that bestow the living water of life upon us.
Reading God’s words,
we are face-to-face with Him and at last we attend the feast.
God sets us apart from the corrupted world
and we become sanctified.
We rid ourselves of worldly entanglements
and enter the training of the kingdom.
II
Judgment has begun in the house of God,
revealing God’s holiness and righteousness.
The judgment and chastisement of His words turn us into new people.
O Almighty God! You personally work to save us.
We have a change in disposition and are made anew;
we serve God before His throne.
God is wise and almighty in His work,
He uses the great red dragon to render service.
In hardship, God leads us to stand firm in our witness
and overcome Satan.
God’s words show His almightiness,
and they conquer and make a group of overcomers.
God has utterly defeated Satan and has gained all glory.
The Almighty, the One who is and who was, has ruled as King on earth.
God’s words are the true light, illuminating the dark world.
All nations and all peoples come to the light
and surrender before God.
God is upon the glorious throne, enjoying His rest.
