1237  The Consequence of Man Resisting God

I

In God’s eyes, there is a limit to His patience toward man’s corruption, toward the filthiness, violence, and rebelliousness of all flesh. So to what extent does God remain patient? To the extent that all people, whether believers in God or nonbelievers, are not walking the right path. To the extent that man is not just morally corrupt and full of evil, but where there is no one who believes in the existence of God, let alone anyone who believes that the world is ruled by God and that God can bring people light and the right path. To the extent that man despises the existence of God and doesn’t permit God to exist. Once man’s corruption reaches this point, God can stand it no longer. It will be replaced with the coming of God’s wrath and God’s punishment.

II

There is a limit to the patience of God. When He reaches that limit, He will no longer be patient and will instead begin His new management and new plan, start to do what He has to do, reveal His deeds. This action of His is not to demonstrate that He must never be offended by man or that He is full of authority and wrath, and it’s not to show that He can destroy humanity. It’s that His disposition and His holy essence can no longer allow or have the patience for this kind of humanity to live before Him, to live under His dominion. That’s to say, when all of mankind is against Him, when there is no one He can save, He will no longer have patience and will, without any misgiving, carry out His plan—to destroy this kind of humanity. Such an act by God is determined by His disposition. This is a necessary consequence, and a consequence that every created being under God’s dominion must bear.
