243 The Consequences of Rejecting Christ of the Last Days
I
Christ of the last days brings life,
and the enduring, everlasting way of truth.
This truth is the path where man gains life,
the only path to know and be approved by God.
If you do not seek the way of life
provided by Christ of the last days,
you shall never gain Jesus’ approval
or be fit to enter the gate of the kingdom of heaven,
for you’re both a puppet and prisoner of history.
Those who are controlled by regulations, by words,
and shackled by history
will never be able to gain life
nor gain the perpetual way of life.
This is because all they have
is turbid water that has been clung to
for thousands of years,
not the water of life that flows from the throne.
II
Those who are not supplied with the water of life
will forever remain corpses,
playthings of Satan, and sons of hell.
They will forever remain corpses,
playthings of Satan, and sons of hell.
How, then, can they behold God?
If you only try to hold on to the past,
to stand still and keep things as they are,
and do not try to change the status quo and discard history,
will you not always be against God?
III
The steps of God’s work are vast and mighty,
like surging waves and rolling thunders—
yet you sit passively awaiting destruction,
clinging to your folly and doing nothing.
In this way,
how can you be considered someone
who follows the footsteps of the Lamb?
How can you justify the God you hold on to
as a God who is always new, never old?
How can your yellowed books’ words bring you to a new age,
or lead you to seek the steps of God’s work and go to heaven?
What you hold in your hands are words
that can provide but temporary solace,
not truths that are capable of giving life,
much less the path that leads you to perfection.
Does this discrepancy not give you cause for reflection?
Does it not make you realize the mysteries contained within?
Can you deliver yourself to heaven to meet God on your own?
Look at who is doing the work,
the work of saving man in the last days.
If you don’t, you’ll never gain the truth,
and shall never gain life.
