I

Only when God enters the new heaven and earth

does He reveal the other part of His glory first in Canaan,

causing a glimmer of light to shine forth in the whole earth,

sunk in the pitchy darkness of night.

So the whole earth may come to the light,

men may come to draw strength from the power of the light,

allowing God’s glory to increase

and appear anew to every nation, every nation.

So all humanity may realize that

God has long ago come to the human world

and brought His glory from Israel to the East,

brought His glory from Israel to the East, to the East.

For His glory shines from the East,

brought over from the Age of Grace to this day.

But it was from Israel that He departed

and from there that He arrived in the East.

From there that He arrived in the East.

II

Only when the light of the East slowly turns white

will the darkness on earth begin to turn to light;

only then will man discover

God has long ago gone from Israel and is rising anew in the East.

Having once descended into Israel and later departed from it,

God cannot again be born into Israel,

because His work leads all of the universe

and lightning flashes straight from East to West.

For this reason He Has descended in the East

and brought Canaan to the people of the East.

God shall bring people from all over the earth

to the land of Canaan, to the land of Canaan.

So in the land of Canaan

God continues to issue forth utterances to control the universe.

At this time, there is no light in all the earth apart from the land of Canaan.

All men are imperiled by hunger and cold.
