I shall fill the empyrean with the manifestations of My actions and make everything on earth fall prostrate under My power, thus implementing My plan for “global unity” and bringing this one wish of Mine to fruition, so that humanity will no longer “roam about” on the face of the earth, but find a suitable destination without delay. I take thought for the human race in every way, making it so that all mankind will soon come to live in a land of peace and happiness, so that the days of their lives will no longer be sad and desolate, and so that My plan will not come to naught upon the earth. Because man exists there, I shall build My nation upon the earth, for a part of the manifestation of My glory is upon the earth. In heaven above, I shall set My city aright and so make everything new above and below. I shall render all that exists above and below heaven into one unity, so that all things on earth will be united with all that is in heaven. This is My plan; it is what I shall accomplish in the final age—let no one interfere with this part of My work! Spreading My work among the Gentile nations is the last part of My work on earth. No one is able to fathom the work I shall do, and because of this, people are quite befuddled. And because I am busily occupied by My work on earth, people take the opportunity to “play around.” To keep them from being too unruly, I have first placed them under My chastisement to endure the discipline of the lake of fire. This is one step in My work, and I shall use the might of the lake of fire to accomplish this step of My work; otherwise, it would be impossible to carry out My work. I shall have human beings throughout the universe submit before My throne, dividing them into different categories according to My judgment, classifying them according to these categories, and further sorting them into their families, so that the whole of humanity will cease to disobey Me, falling instead into a neat and orderly arrangement according to the categories that I have named—let no one move about at random! Throughout the universe, I have wrought new work; throughout the universe, all humanity is dazed and dumbstruck by My sudden appearance, their horizons greatly expanded by My appearance in the open. Is today not just so?

I

God will fill the empyrean realm with many signs of His work, so that under His supreme power falls everything on this earth. His plan to unify all the world will be achieved, and no longer in the world will people roam, but soon they’ll find the right place to go. As above so below, God has wrought His new work; all the people are dazed, shocked by His sudden appearance. As above so below, their horizons growing, wide like never before. This is surely what today is like.

II

God thinks of man in every way, so all people will come to live soon in a land of peace and happiness, where they no longer will feel gloom. His plan will be fulfilled upon the earth. It’s there that man exists, and God will build His nation across the world, for there, in part, His glory is revealed. As above so below, God has wrought His new work; all the people are dazed, shocked by His sudden appearance. As above so below, their horizons growing, wide like never before. This is surely what today is like.

III

He’ll set heavenly cities to rights, He’ll make everything new everywhere, and unite all above and below, all things on earth and heaven. This is His (this is God’s ultimate plan to accomplish in the final age). Let no one interfere with this part of His work! God will cause man in the universe to submit before His throne. He will judge and classify, sort them into families of their own. This way all will cease disobeying Him, and then they’ll be perfectly arranged in His order, where none will move randomly. As above so below, God has wrought His new work; all the people are dazed, shocked by His sudden appearance. As above so below, their horizons growing, wide like never before. This is surely what today is like.
