127 God’s Glory Shines From the East
I
Only when I pass into the new heaven and earth do I take the other part of My glory and reveal it first in the land of Canaan, causing a glimmer of light to shine forth across the whole pitch-dark earth. This is so that the whole earth may come to the light. It’s so that men all over the earth may come to draw on the power of the light, allowing My glory to increase further and appear anew to each nation, and that all humanity may realize that I have long ago come to the human world and long ago brought My glory from Israel to the East, for My glory shines from the East and it was brought over from the Age of Grace to this day. But it was from Israel that I departed and from there that I arrived in the East.
II
Only when the light of the East gradually turns white will the darkness across the earth start to turn to light, and only then will man find out that I have long ago gone from Israel and am rising anew in the East. It could not be the case that I, having once descended into Israel and later departed from it, would once again be born into Israel, because My work leads all of the universe and, what is more, the lightning comes from the East and flashes all the way to the West. For this reason I have descended in the East and brought Canaan to My chosen people in the East.
III
I shall bring My chosen people from all over the earth to the land of Canaan, and so I continue to issue forth utterances in the land of Canaan to control the whole universe. At this time, there’s no light in all the earth. Apart from those in Canaan, all men are imperiled by hunger and cold.
