12 God Has Brought His Glory to the East
God gave His glory to Israel and then took it away,
thereby bringing the Israelites to the East,
and all of humanity to the East.
God has brought them all to the light
so that they may be reunited with it,
and be in association with it,
and no longer have to search for it.
God will let all who are searching see the light again
and see the glory He had in Israel;
God will let them see that He has long ago come down upon a white cloud
into the midst of mankind,
let them see the countless clouds of white and fruits in their abundant clusters,
and, what is more, let them see Jehovah God of Israel.
God will let them look upon the Master of the Jews,
the longed-for Messiah,
and the full appearance of God who has been persecuted by kings
throughout the ages.
God will work upon the entire universe and He will perform great work,
revealing all His glory
and all His deeds to man in the last days.
God will show His glorious countenance in its fullness
to those who have waited many years for Him,
to those who have longed for Him to come upon a white cloud,
to Israel that has longed for Him to appear once again,
and to all mankind who persecute Him,
so that all will know that God has long ago taken away His glory
and brought it to the East, and it is no longer in Judea.
For the last days have already come!
