Do those who have seen My words truly accept them? Do you truly know Me? Have you truly learned to submit? Do you sincerely expend yourselves for Me? Have you truly borne strong and powerful witness for Me in the face of the great red dragon? Does your loyalty truly shame the great red dragon? Only through the trial of My words can I achieve My goal of purifying the church and choosing those who sincerely love Me. If I did not work in this way, would anyone be able to know Me? Who could come to know My majesty, My wrath, and My wisdom through My words? Having started My work, I will surely finish it, but still it is I who plumb people’s hearts to their depths. To tell the truth, there is no one among people who fully knows Me, so I use words to guide all people, to lead them all into a new era. In the end I will use words to accomplish all of My work, causing all those who sincerely love Me to surrender to My kingdom, to live before My throne. The situation now is not what it once was, and My work has entered a new starting point. That being so, there will be a new approach: All those who see My word and accept it as their very life are people in My kingdom, and being in My kingdom, they are people of My kingdom. Because they accept the guidance of My words, even though they are referred to as My people, this title is in no way secondary to being called My “sons.” Having been made into God’s people, all must show loyalty in My kingdom and perform their duties in My kingdom. Whosoever violates My administrative decrees must receive My punishment. This is My advice to all.

A new way has now been entered into, and the past is no longer fitting to mention again. But I have said this before: I mean what I say, and what I mean shall be done, and no one can change this—it is absolute. Whether they are words I have said in the past or words I will say in the future, they will all come true, one by one, and I will allow all of mankind to see this. This is the principle behind My words and work. Since the building of the church has already been achieved, it is now no longer the time of church building, but rather the time in which the kingdom is successfully built. However, as you are still on earth, the assemblies of people on earth will remain known as “the church.” Nevertheless, the substance of the church is not the same as it once was—it is a church that has been successfully built. Therefore, I say My kingdom has already descended to earth. None can grasp the root of My words, nor do they know My purpose in speaking them. Once I have spoken to you today, you will experience an epiphany. Some may burst out in loud and bitter weeping; some may feel afraid that this is the way I speak; some may cling to their old views as they watch My each and every move; some may regret having expressed their grievances or resisted Me at that time; some may secretly rejoice that, having never veered aside from My name, today they are revived. There may be some who, long since “tormented” by My words to the point of being half dead, dispirited and downcast, no longer have the heart to heed the words I speak, even though I have changed the way in which I speak; or others who, having been loyal to Me up to a certain point, never complaining, never doubting, are today fortunate enough to gain release and feel a gratitude beyond words toward Me in their hearts. All of the above circumstances apply, to varying degrees, to every human being. But, after all, the past is the past. Given that the present is already here, there is therefore no need to cling to yesterday anymore, or to take thought for the future anymore. Being human, whoever goes against reality and does not do things according to My guidance will not come to a good end, but will only bring trouble upon themselves. Of everything in the universe, there is nothing in which I do not have the final say. Is there anything that is not in My hands? As I say something is to be done, it is done thus, and who among human beings can change My resolve? Could it be the covenant I made on the earth? Nothing can hinder My plan from going forward. At all times, I am doing My work, and at all times, I am planning out My management. Who among human beings can involve themselves? Is it not I who have personally orchestrated everything? Entering into this realm today still does not stray outside My plan or what I have foreseen; it was predestined by Me long ago. Who among you can fathom this step? My people will assuredly listen to My voice, and each and every one of those who sincerely love Me shall assuredly return before My throne.
