I

In the beginning, man was of a simple and juvenile likeness,

and though they were ignorant, though they were ignorant,

their heart was pure and clean.

They didn’t have the assorted corrupt dispositions that man has now.

But in the end, when God encounters mankind again,

when God encounters mankind again,

man’s heart is filled with Satan’s corrupt disposition;

when they encounter God,

their face, their speech and acts are detestable to Him.

Man’s satanic dispositions of intransigence, arrogance, deceit, wickedness,

and being averse to the truth pour forth, undisguisedly and naturally.

Even when face to face with God, man’s corrupt, satanic disposition,

and their essence, which is corrupted by Satan,

pour forth in this way, undisguised.

II

God still feels they are too tragic to behold

as He sees instance after instance of mankind’s corruption.

Yet what is worthy of celebration is that God no longer needs to

engage in pointless patience and waiting on man’s behalf.

What He needs to do is to express His words, His disposition, and every truth.

This means that among this mankind that God has chosen,

there will arise the group of people that God has long awaited,

those who will be the stewards of all things

and become the masters of all things.

Mankind has been through the baptism of the law and God’s redemption;

finally, they have come to the final step of the work God will do:

the stage in which mankind is saved as the end result of their acceptance

of God’s chastisement and judgment and of His conquest.

To mankind, this is without a doubt great news,

this is without a doubt great news,

and to God, it is certainly a thing that has been a long time coming.

As seen from any angle, as seen from any angle,

this is the advent of all mankind’s greatest era.

III

As seen from any angle, be it that of mankind’s corruption,

or the trends of the world, or social structures, or mankind’s politics,

or the resources of the whole world, or that of the current disasters,

mankind’s outcome is near—this mankind has come to the end of the line.

Yet this is the most climactic time in the work of God

the time that most merits man’s remembrance and celebration;

of course, it’s also the advent of the most important and crucial time

when man’s fate is decided

in the work of God’s six-thousand-year management plan.

Therefore, whatever has happened to mankind,

and however long God has waited and exercised patience,

it has all been worth it.

Therefore, whatever has happened to mankind,

and however long God has waited and exercised patience,

it has all been worth it.
