I

The work being done now is to cause people

to rebel against Satan, their old ancestor.

All judgments by the word aim to expose humanity’s corrupt disposition

and to enable people to understand the essence of life.

These repeated judgments pierce people’s hearts, pierce people’s hearts.

Each judgment directly relates to their fate

and is meant to wound their hearts

so that they can let go of all those things,

so that they can let go of all those things

and thereby come to know life, know this filthy world,

know God’s wisdom and almightiness,

and also know mankind, corrupted by Satan.

The more chastisement and judgment is like this,

the more man’s heart can be wounded and the more his spirit can be awakened.

II

The goal of this kind of judgment

is to awaken the spirits of these extremely corrupted

and most deeply deceived of people.

Man has no spirit, that is, his spirit died long ago

and he knows not there is Heaven, or there is a God,

and certainly knows not he is struggling in the abyss of death;

how could he possibly know that he’s living in this evil hell on earth?

How could he possibly know that this putrid corpse of his,

through Satan’s corruption, has fallen into Hades of death?

How could he possibly know that everything on earth

has long been ruined beyond repair by mankind?

And how could he possibly know that the Creator has come to the earth today

and is searching for a group of corrupt people whom He can save?

III

Even after man experiences every possible refinement and judgment,

his dull consciousness still barely stirs

and indeed is virtually unresponsive.

How degenerate is mankind!

And though this kind of judgment

is like the cruel hail that falls from the sky,

it is of the greatest benefit to man.

If not for judging man like this, there would be no result

and it would be absolutely impossible to save man from the abyss of misery.

If not for this work, it would be very hard for man to emerge from Hades,

because their hearts long ago died

and their spirits long ago were trampled by Satan, trampled by Satan.

Saving you who have sunk to the deepest depths of degeneration

requires calling out to you strenuously, judging you strenuously;

only then will it be possible to awaken your frozen hearts.
