I

The purpose of God’s management is to gain a group of people

who worship God and submit to Him.

Although these people have been corrupted by Satan,

they no longer see Satan as their father;

they recognize the repulsive face of Satan,

recognize the repulsive face of Satan and reject it,

and they come before God to accept God’s judgment and chastisement.

They come to know what’s ugly and how it contrasts with that which is holy,

and to recognize the greatness of God and the evil of Satan.

II

A mankind such as this will no longer work for Satan,

or worship Satan, or enshrine Satan.

This is because they are a group of people who have truly been gained by God.

This is the significance of God’s work of managing mankind, managing mankind.

During the work of God’s management of this time,

mankind is the object both of Satan’s corruption and God’s salvation,

and man is the product that God and Satan are fighting over.

As God performs His work,

He is gradually recovering man from the hands of Satan,

and so man comes ever closer to God,

man comes ever closer to God …
