You should know that God's perfection, completion, and gaining of men

bring nothing but swords and smiting upon their flesh,

as well as endless suffering, conflagration,

as well as endless suffering, conflagration,

merciless judgment, chastisement, and curses,

and boundless trials, boundless trials.

Such is the inside story and truth of the work of managing man.

Such is the inside story and truth of the work of managing man.

However, all these things are directed at man's flesh,

and all of the arrows of hostility are mercilessly aimed toward man's flesh.

All of this is for the sake of God's glory and testimony,

and for His management, for His management.

This is because His work is not solely for the sake of mankind,

but also for the entire plan, for the entire plan,

as well as to fulfill His original intention when He created mankind,

when He created mankind.

Therefore, perhaps ninety percent of what man experiences

involves sufferings and trials of fire, trials of fire,

and there are very few, or even none,

of the sweet and happy days for which man's flesh has yearned.

Much less is man able to enjoy happy moments in the flesh,

spending beautiful times together with God.

The flesh is filthy,

so what man's flesh sees or enjoys is nothing but God's chastisement,

which man finds inconsiderate.

This is because God will manifest His righteous disposition,

which is "inconsiderate toward man,"

does not tolerate man's offenses, and loathes enemies.

God openly reveals His entire disposition

by any means, by any means necessary,

thereby concluding the work of His six-thousand-year battle with Satan—

the work of the salvation of all of mankind,

and the destruction of Satan of old!
