I

The six-thousand-year management plan is divided into three stages of work.

No one stage alone can represent the work of the three ages,

but only one part of a whole, only one part of a whole.

Each age represents one part of the disposition of God.

Only when all three stages have been integrated into one whole

can they reveal the entirety of God’s disposition.

Only when man has come to know all three stages can he understand it fully.

None of the three stages can be omitted.

You will only see God’s disposition in its entirety

after coming to know these three stages of work.

II

The fact that God completed His work in the Age of Law

does not prove that He is only the God under the law,

and the fact that He completed His work of redemption

does not mean that God will forever redeem mankind.

These are all conclusions drawn by man.

The Age of Grace having come to an end,

you cannot say that God belongs only to the cross

and that the cross alone represents God’s salvation.

To do so would be to define God.

In the present stage, God is mainly doing the work of the word,

but you cannot say God has never been merciful to man

and that all He’s brought is chastisement and judgment.

III

The work in the last days lays bare the work of Jehovah and Jesus

and all of the mysteries that man does not understand,

so as to reveal the destination and the outcome of mankind

and end all the work of salvation among mankind.

This stage of work in the last days brings everything to a close.

All mysteries not understood by man need to be unveiled

to allow man to plumb them to their depths

and have a completely clear understanding in his heart.

Only then can man be classed according to kind.

Only after the six-thousand-year management plan is done

will man come to understand God’s entire disposition,

for His management will then have come to an end,

His management will then have come to an end.
