I

Today God judges you, chastises you, and condemns you,

but you must know that the point of your condemnation

is for you to know yourself.

He condemns, curses, judges, and chastises so that you might know yourself,

so that your disposition might change, so that your disposition might change,

and, moreover, so that you might know your worth,

and see that all of God’s actions are righteous

and in accordance with His disposition and the requirements of His work,

that He works in accordance with His plan for man’s salvation,

and that He is the righteous God who loves, saves, judges, and chastises man.

II

If you only know that you are of lowly status,

that you are corrupt and rebellious,

but do not know that God wishes to make plain His salvation

through the judgment and chastisement that He does in you today,

then you have no way of gaining experience,

much less are you capable of continuing forward.

God has not come to kill or destroy,

but to judge, curse, chastise, and save.

Until His 6,000-year management plan comes to a close, comes to a close—

before He reveals the outcome of each category of man—

God’s work on earth will be for the sake of salvation.

It’s all to thoroughly make those who love Him complete

and bring them to surrender under His dominion, under His dominion.
