GOSPEL OF THE DESCENT OF THE KINGDOM

Intro Since God has led you to this point,He has made arrangements that are fit.If He told you His plans and aims,would you honestly know these things? Verse 1 God is well acquainted with thoughts coming from man's mind,his heart's wish.Who has never looked for ways out? Who's never thought of their prospects? Yet though man's possessed of a rich and a dazzling intellect,who could predict,after the ages,the present would turn out like this? Is this fruit of your own efforts? Payment for your tireless strain? Is it the beautiful tableau that your mind has portrayed? Chorus Who of the whole of mankind is not cared for in the Almighty's eyes? Who doesn't live in the midst of what the Almighty destined? Whose birth,death come from their choice? Whose birth,death come from their choice? Does man control his own fate? Verse 2 Without God's leading,who'd have a way outside of what He has arranged? Is it man's imaginings and wishes that have brought him to today? Many live life,their hopes unmet.Is it due to faults in their thoughts? Many live with unforeseen joy.Is this from not wanting a lot? Many people cry out for death,yet it is far away from them.Many wish to be strong,fearing death,yet it draws near,consuming them.Chorus Who of the whole of mankind is not cared for in the Almighty's eyes? Who doesn't live in the midst of what the Almighty destined? Whose birth,death come from their choice? Whose birth,death come from their choice? Does man control his own fate? Bridge Many wail,sob,look to the skies.Many fall to what tempts,fail trials.God doesn't appear before man,but many fear to behold Him,afraid that He will strike them down.Does man truly know Him or not? Does man truly know? Chorus Who of the whole of mankind is not cared for in the Almighty's eyes? Who doesn't live in the midst of what the Almighty destined? Whose birth,death come from their choice? Whose birth,death come from their choice? Does man control his own fate? Adapted from The Word Appears in the Flesh

Verse 1 Though the outpouring of God's wrath is one side of His righteousness,He does consider His target and does always have principle.God is never quick to anger,nor rashly shows wrath,majesty.His wrath's controlled,and is measured,unlike man's flaring rage,anger.Chorus The wrath of God is a display and a genuine expression of His righteous disposition,revealing His holy substance.Verse 2 The release of the wrath of God doesn't express or vent His mood,not a full eruption of rage,as man is likely to assume.God doesn't release all His wrath 'cause He can't control His own mood,or 'cause His anger has reached boiling point,must be vented soon.Chorus The wrath of God is a display and a genuine expression of His righteous disposition,revealing His holy substance.Verse 3 God's wrath tolerates no offense,but His anger is principled,can distinguish among causes.But corrupt mankind cannot do this.Man flares in anger,vents emotions,all to defend sin's existence.These actions are the ways for man to express dissatisfaction.Bridge Man's actions brim with defilement.They brim with schemes and corruption,brim with intrigues and with evil,and wild desires,ambitions.Chorus The wrath of God is a display and a genuine expression of His righteous disposition,revealing His holy substance.Outro When wickedness contests justice,man won't get angry and defend justice.If justice has threats,is attacked,man will overlook,evade,flinch.But when facing evil forces,man will cater,will bow and scrape.So man's venting is an escape for evil forces,it shows man's evil is hard to contain.Adapted from The Word Appears in the Flesh

Verse 1 There is something in God's essence that's too easily overlooked,possessed only by God,and by no human being no matter how good or how great,nor by the God that they imagine.What is this thing? It is God's selflessness.Verse 2 You might think you're selfless for you don't haggle with your children,or you might think you're selfless when it comes to your parents.But man is just too selfish to be able to see God's selflessness among all people,all things,and the work of His hands.Chorus 1 Man's selflessness is for himself; God's selflessness is His own essence,it is His essence.Because of God's selflessness,He will always provide for man,provide for man.Verse 3 Man lives in a material world.You may follow God,but you never see how He provides for and loves,and how He cares for you.You see your blood family who love you devotedly,you care about the things and the people you love,and call this selflessness.Bridge Such selfless people aren't concerned about the God that gives them life,gives them life.In contrast to that of God's,man's selflessness is selfish and despicable,it is despicable.The selflessness man believes in is empty and impure.It is incompatible,it is unrelated to God.Chorus 1 Man's selflessness is for himself; God's selflessness is His own essence,it is His essence.Because of God's selflessness,He will always provide for man,provide for man.Verse 4 You might not fully grasp this,and you just nod your approval.But if you'd see God's heart,maybe you will learn among all that's in the world,only God's selflessness is real.Only God's love is pure and unconditional.Chorus 2 Man's selflessness is for himself; God's selflessness is His own essence,it is His essence.For anyone but God,all selflessness is false,with a purpose and a tradeoff.It is unable to stand a test.God's selflessness is His essence,it is His essence.Adapted from The Word Appears in the Flesh

Chorus God's love for mankind is mainly shown in His work done in the flesh,done in the flesh,in living and speaking facetoface,and personally saving them,with no distance nor pretense,while being true and real.Verse 1 God saves people to the extent He was able to become flesh and endure years of pain with humans in the world,all because of His love and mercy for mankind.Chorus God's love for mankind is mainly shown in His work done in the flesh,done in the flesh,in living and speaking facetoface,and personally saving them,with no distance nor pretense,while being true and real.Verse 2 God's love for man has no conditions and no demands.What does He get from them in return? People are cold to Him.Who is able to treat Him as God Himself? Bridge People give God no comfort at all; God has still not received true love from mankind.He just keeps selflessly giving and providing.Chorus God's love for mankind is mainly shown in His work done in the flesh,done in the flesh,in living and speaking facetoface,and personally saving them,with no distance nor pretense,while being true and real.Adapted from The Word Appears in the Flesh

Verse 1 Before mankind appeared in the world,God used His power to create all things.With His unique ways,He made man's habitat,for soon He'd give His breath to him.God's authority was shown in all creatures,in the great seas,heavens,lights,and the land,in animals and birds,microbes and insects.Chorus When God,when God began the creation of all things,His power began to be revealed.God used His words to create and maintain all things.Yes,this is His unique authority.Verse 2 Each was given life and multiplied,living under God's sovereignty because of His words.God's power gives life to static things,so they'll never disappear,gives living beings the instinct to multiply,so they'll pass on their laws of survival.Chorus When God,when God began the creation of all things,His power began to be revealed.God used His words to create and maintain all things.Yes,this is His unique authority.Bridge God's power is not fixed to forms,nor macro or micro views.He commands the universe and rules over life and death.God moves all things to serve Him,rules the water and the mountains.He governs all within them,providing for creation's needs.This shows God's unique authority amongst all besides mankind.Not just for a lifetime,it will not cease.No one,nothing can change or ruin it,nor reduce or add to it.For none can replace the Creator's identity.Chorus When God,when God began the creation of all things,His power began to be revealed.God used His words to create and maintain all things.Yes,this is His unique authority.Adapted from The Word Appears in the Flesh

Verse 1 Many feel uneasy and restless,for they've committed great sins.Many are ashamed of themselves,for they have never done a good deed.Yet many feel no remorse,going from bad to worse,revealing all their evil to test God's disposition.Chorus God won't spare the wicked who remain in His house.For man's day of punishment is coming near.God does not cast out these evil souls in haste,for He has a plan of His own,for He has a plan of His own.Verse 2 God does not care or pay attention to actions of one person.Instead,He does the work He should,doing things He pleases.His work proceeds at key times,not a second too late or too soon; He proceeds as planned,with dispatch and ease.Chorus God won't spare the wicked who remain in His house.For man's day of punishment is coming near.God does not cast out these evil souls in haste,for He has a plan of His own,for He has a plan of His own.Bridge With every step of God's work,some are cast aside,for He despises flatterers who fake their servitude.God will surely forsake the loathsome ones,wanting all who He despises to stay away.Chorus God won't spare the wicked who remain in His house.For man's day of punishment is coming near.God does not cast out these evil souls in haste,for He has a plan of His own,for He has a plan of His own.Adapted from The Word Appears in the Flesh

Verse 1 Although God is possessed of great authority,He's principled,rigorous,stays true to words He speaks.This shows the Creator is unoffendable and His authority is insurmountable.Verse 2 Though His power is supreme and all is under His hand,though He rules over all,He's never harmed His plan.When He exerts power,His principles are aligned,He follows what He says and His plan stride by stride.Chorus Heaven and earth may change,God's authority stays.All things may pass away,still it won't dissipate.That's the real essence of God's authority.It takes zero offense and it is unchanging.Verse 3 All the things ruled by God,they obey the precepts by which God's power is used.So no one is exempt from the Creator's plans.No man or thing can change the principles by which His authority reigns.Chorus Heaven and earth may change,God's authority stays.All things may pass away,still it won't dissipate.That's the real essence of God's authority.It takes zero offense and it is unchanging.Bridge By God's authority,fortune befalls the blessed.That's brought about by God.The cursed are doomed,punished.From God's authority,no one is free or exempt,nor can they change the laws by which it's wielded.Authority of God is not altered by change.Rules of its exertion,nothing can make them change.Chorus Heaven and earth may change,God's authority stays.All things may pass away,still it won't dissipate.That's the real essence of God's authority.It takes zero offense and it is unchanging.Outro That is how unique the Creator is.Adapted from The Word Appears in the Flesh

Intro In the stage of work in the last days,man has seen God's love,His judgment and chastisement.God supplies,supports,enlightens and guides man,so man will come to see His intentions and to see the truth He bestows on mankind.Verse 1 God does not always discipline and chasten,nor does He always show tolerance and patience.Instead,He provides for each person in different ways,at their own stages,according to statures and qualities.He does many things for man at a great cost man can't see.Verse 2 God's love is real: Through the grace of God,man skirts disaster time after time and again.And through all of this God tolerates man's weakness.He'll judge and chastise,so people will realize man's corruption.Man will come to understand his essence is satanic.Chorus 1 That which God provides and His guidance show man truth's essence,so they will know what people need,the road that they should take,the worth and meaning of life,and how to walk the road.Verse 3 God's ways of working are a ceaseless effort to help man's heart awaken,so that man can realize who guides and supports him,where mankind came from,who's kept him living,who's the Creator and who to worship.So man will know what road to walk and know how to come to God.Chorus 2 It's all to help man's heart revive,so man can know what's in God's heart,so human beings can comprehend the care and thought behind the work that God performs to save humankind.Verse 4 When man's heart awakens,man no longer wishes to keep on living with corrupt disposition,but instead seek truth to satisfy God.Then he'll be able to break free from Satan and be harmed no longer.Satan will lose all control,man will be deceived no more.Outro Instead man will cooperate in God's work and His words to satisfy God's heart,thus will attain fear of God,shunning evil.This is why God began His work.This is why God began His work.Adapted from The Word Appears in the Flesh

Chorus God's righteous disposition is vivid and vital.Intro He changes His thoughts and attitudes according to how things develop.The change in His attitude towards the Ninevites tells man God's ideas are His own.Verse 1 God is not a robot or statue,but the living God Himself.He could seethe at the people of Nineveh,as He could forgive their pasts because of their attitudes.He could choose to destroy the Ninevites or forgive them if they repent.Verse 2 God's thoughts are always transforming with the way situations change.While these thoughts continue evolving,the many different aspects of the substance of God are shown.The moment God's heart reconsiders,He shows man His life's real existence.Chorus God's righteous disposition is vivid and vital.Bridge 1 God's true revelations give proof to mankind of the existence of His wrath and His mercy,His lovingkindness and His tolerance.Verse 3 God reveals parts of His substance according to how things progress.God retains the wrath of a lion and a mother's mercy and tolerance.His righteous disposition can't be questioned or violated,or twisted or changed by anyone.Verse 4 God's righteous disposition,that is,God's wrath and mercy,can be shown at any time or setting among all things and matters.He gives these vital expressions at all corners of creation with every passing moment.Chorus God's righteous disposition is vivid and vital.Bridge 2 God's righteous disposition is not constrained by time or by space,but rather it is expressed with perfect ease in all times and places.Outro When God has a change of heart and ceases to show His wrath and allows Nineveh to live,can you say that God is just loving and merciful? Can you say God's wrath is nothing but empty words? When God rages with wrath,and when He takes mercy back,can you say He feels no true love for man? Adapted from The Word Appears in the Flesh

Verse 1 God created all things,and so He makes all creation come under His rule,and submit to His dominion.He commands all things,controlling them in His hands.Living things,mountains,rivers and man must all come under His rule.Chorus Things in the skies and on the earth must all come under His dominion.All must submit,without any choice.This is God's decree and His authority.Verse 2 God created all things,and so He makes all creation come under His rule,and submit to His dominion.Everything is commanded by God.He orders and ranks all things,each classed according to kind and by God's will allotted their positioning.Chorus Things in the skies and on the earth must all come under His dominion.All must submit,without any choice.This is God's decree and His authority.Bridge No matter how great a thing is,it will never be able to surpass God.All things serve Godcreated mankind,none dare defy or make demands of God.Outro Man,a creature of God,must also keep his duty.Whether the master or caretaker of all things,however high his status,a small human under God's rule he still is,an insignificant human being,a creature of God.Never will he be above God.Adapted from The Word Appears in the Flesh

Verse 1 Of all the wicked deeds committed by the people living in Sodom,the fact they were harming God's servants was only the tip of the iceberg,only hinting at their wicked nature,no more than a drop in the ocean.Therefore,God chose to destroy them with fire.Yes,God destroyed them with fire.Chorus The destruction of Sodom hobbled Satan's ambition to corrupt and devour men and thereby to oppose God.It's a mark of shame of when man shunned God,abandoning himself to vice.It's a true revelation of God's righteous disposition.Verse 2 God did not use a flood or a hurricane,nor earthquake,nor tsunami: He chose fire to ensure the city's total destruction.It would vanish from the earth and existence,and not simply its form or its structure,also the souls of all the people inside.Everything would be eradicated,all within the city would cease to exist.Prechorus All the things to do with Sodom,everything would be destroyed,no next life for its people,and no reincarnation.They would be cut off from the humanity of His creation— for all eternity.Chorus The destruction of Sodom hobbled Satan's ambition to corrupt and devour men and thereby to oppose God.It's a mark of shame of when man shunned God,abandoning himself to vice.It's a true revelation of God's righteous disposition.Bridge The use of fire was a signifier of an end to the sin in this place.It was curbed,would not spread,would cease to exist.Satan's evil lost its nurturing soil and its graveyard— a place to stay and live.In the war between God and Satan,God's use of fire is the brand of His vict'ry,it's the brand with which Satan is marked.Chorus The destruction of Sodom hobbled Satan's ambition to corrupt and devour men and thereby to oppose God.It's a mark of shame of when man shunned God,abandoning himself to vice.It's a true revelation of God's righteous disposition.Adapted from The Word Appears in the Flesh

I Though the work of conquest is reached by God's purging of man's prospects, man will be ultimately led to the proper place God prepared. Because it is God who works man, their destination is assured. Since God created man, He leads them. Since He saves, He'll thoroughly save them. Man He'll completely gain. Since He created man and manages them, He must be responsible for their fate. He'll bring them to their proper destination. And this is the work done by the Creator. II That which man hopes for and pursues are the yearnings of their pursuit of the fleshly lavish desires, and not the destination due. After creation God prepared blessings due, as well as His pledge. It's for man once they've been made pure, free from man's choice, notions or flesh. Because it is God who works man, their destination is assured. Since God created man, He leads them. Since He saves, He'll thoroughly save them. Man He'll completely gain. Since He created man and manages them, He must be responsible for their fate. He'll bring them to their proper destination. And this is the work done by the Creator. III This destination is not prepared with a specific person in mind, but it's a place of rest for the whole of mankind, well suited resting place for the whole of mankind. Since God created man, He leads them. Since He saves, He'll thoroughly save them. Man He'll completely gain. Since He created man and manages them, He must be responsible for their fate. He'll bring them to their proper destination.

Intro When you comprehend the holiness of God, you can truly believe in Him; when you comprehend the holiness of God, you'll know the meaning of “God Himself, the Unique.” Verse 1 You'll no longer imagine you can walk other roads, no longer willing to betray God's plans.

Verse 1 With regard to the evil nature of Satan and to the corrupt disposition of mankind, God never argues or bickers with anyone, or makes a fuss when people do ignorant things. God's own views are never similar to man's. You won't see Him use man's viewpoints or their knowledge; He won't use their science or philosophy or even their imagination to handle things. Chorus Every single thing that God does and everything that He reveals is connected to truth. Every word He has ever said, every action He has taken, they all concern the truth. Verse 2 This truth and these words are not some baseless fantasy; they're expressed by God from His essence and His life. Because the essence of everything God has done as well as the words He has said are truth, we can say that God's substance is holy. All God says and does brings man vitality and light, allowing them to see positive things, pointing the way so they may walk the correct path. Pre-chorus These things are determined because of God's essence and due to the essence of His holiness. Chorus Every single thing that God does and everything that He reveals is connected to truth.

Spoken: Then said Jehovah, You have had pity on the gourd, for the which you have not labored, neither made it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night: And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than six score thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle? Verse 1 “The Creator's mercy” is not an empty phrase, nor a hollow promise. It has principles and objectives, true and real with no disguise. His mercy, bestowed on mankind, endless through time. But the Creator's words with Jonah remains His exclusive statement of why He is merciful, and how He shows mercy, how tolerant He is of humanity, and His true feelings for them. Chorus God's wrath often befalls man, but His mercy never ceases. With mercy, He guides and leads, supplies, nourishes man, generation to generation, one age to the next. His love for man never changes, His love will never change! His love for man never changes, His love will never change! Verse 2 Jehovah God's conversation shows His full thoughts on humanity, an expression of His heart and proof of rich mercy for man, not just bestowed on elders, but granted to the young, as it has been and will be one generation to next.

Verse 1 God does not control you during work of conquest through your destination, prospects and fate. His work is to make man worship Him. His work is to make him do a creature's duty. Then he'll enter a good destination. Chorus However God chastises man, it's for his salvation. If He strips his fleshly hopes, it's for purification. This purification is for man's existence. His judgment is all for man's sake. So how could man control himself if the Creator holds his fate? So how could man control himself if the Creator holds his fate? Verse 2 The fate of man is controlled by the hands of God. You can't control yourself, though you rush and haste. If you knew your prospects, could control your fate, would you still be a being whom God creates? Chorus However God chastises man, it's for his salvation. If He strips his fleshly hopes, it's for purification. This purification is for man's existence. His judgment is all for man's sake. So how could man control himself if the Creator holds his fate? So how could man control himself if the Creator holds his fate? Verse 3 No matter how God works, it's all for man's sake. Creation, the heavens, the earth, all serve man. The seasons, moon, sun, and stars, the creatures and the plants are for the sake of man's life, they are all for man. Chorus However God chastises man, it's for his salvation.

Verse 1 Often I have called man with My Spirit, yet man acts as if he's been stabbed by Me. He tends to regard Me from a distance, in fear I'll lead him to another world. Often I have inquired in man's spirit, yet he remains utterly oblivious, scared that I'll strip him of all that he owns. Thus he shuts Me outside a cold tight door. Chorus I do not compel man, I merely do My work. One day he'll swim to Me through the mighty sea, so that he might enjoy all the riches on earth, no possibility of being drowned in the sea. Bridge Often when man has fallen, I have saved him, yet after waking he at once leaves Me; untouched by My love, he shoots guarded looks. So never have I warmed the heart of man. Chorus I do not compel man, I merely do My work. One day he'll swim to Me through the mighty sea, so that he might enjoy all the riches on earth, no possibility of being drowned in the sea. Verse 2 Man is an emotionless creature, he is a cold-blooded animal. Even though he is warmed by My embrace, he has never deeply been moved by it. Man is just like a mountain savage, never valued the way I've cherished him. He'd rather dwell in hills, endure wild beasts; he's unwilling to take refuge in Me. Chorus I do not compel man, I merely do My work. One day he'll swim to Me through the mighty sea, so that he might enjoy all the riches on earth, no possibility of being drowned in the sea.

Chorus If I did not descend into mankind in My own person, they'd have been permeated long ago by their own notions, becoming Satan's possessions, for what you believe in is just the image of Satan; it has nothing at all to do with God Himself. Is this not My salvation? Verse 1 Day by day, I live with men and act together with men. I'm in the midst of mankind, but none have noticed this. Were it not for My Spirit guiding the whole human race, which of them would still exist in the present age? Pre-chorus 1 In the past, I said “I have created humanity, guided the whole of humanity, commanded all of humanity”; was this not actually so? Verse 2 Could it be your experience of these things isn't enough? The mere phrase “service-doer” should be enough for you to spend a lifetime's effort explaining in detail. With no real experience, people won't come to know Me through My words. Pre-chorus 2 But today I've come, yes, I have come into your midst: Won't this let you get to know Me? Could it be My incarnation isn't also salvation for you? Chorus If I did not descend into mankind in My own person, they'd have been permeated long ago by their own notions, becoming Satan's possessions, for what you believe in is just the image of Satan; it has nothing at all to do with God Himself.

Verse 1 Although God is possessed of power and authority, His authority is real and true, not empty. The authenticity and reality of His power's revealed gradually, and embodied in His creation and control of all that is, and the process by which man He leads and manages. Chorus God's power and authority are revealed in all things constantly. These revelations show His authority exists, for He uses His power and His authority to continue His work and to command and rule over all things. His power can't be replaced by His messengers or angels. He's the only One who exerts power and authority. This brooks no doubt from all humanity. Verse 2 Every method, perspective and detail of God's reign over mankind, the universe and all things therein, all the work He's carried out and His knowledge of all serve as proof that's doubtless and literal of the fact that God's power and authority are real and true things, and not words ringing emptily. Chorus God's power and authority are revealed in all things constantly. These revelations show His authority exists, for He uses His power and His authority to continue His work and to command and rule over all things. His power can't be replaced by His messengers or angels. He's the only One who exerts power and authority. This brooks no doubt from all humanity. Bridge Messengers and angels seem to have great power. They might have made miracles happen or done things entrusted by God, but in the end, they just completed God's commission. Their acts were not proof that they possessed an authority like God's. For nothing else has power like His that creates and rules all that was, will be, and is. Nothing can exert or show forth God's power. Chorus God's power and authority are revealed in all things constantly. These revelations show His authority exists, for He uses His power and His authority to continue His work and to command and rule over all things. His power can't be replaced by His messengers or angels. He's the only One who exerts power and authority. This brooks no doubt from all humanity. Adapted from The Word Appears in the Flesh

Verse 1 God allows man to manage all things and to have lordship over them. But man cannot keep things as God has created. He's done the opposite, he's destroyed it. Man has moved the mountains, reclaimed land from the seas. He's turned plains into deserts, where none can live. And in place of the beauty of God's creation, man has placed industry, ruining everything. Pre-chorus 1 Now rivers are no longer rivers, and the sea is no longer the sea. Chorus Man's attitude to all things should be: to treasure them, to protect them, to make efficient use of them. Man cannot exist separately from the rest of creation. That's not what man's attitude should be. Verse 2 So once man has broken the balance of what God has created, the natural environment and its rules. Not far is his day of death and disaster. That day is coming and it's inevitable. When that day comes, man will have realized the value of all God made for him and see its importance. Living in a land of timely winds and rains is just like paradise. But man doesn't recognize this blessing. But when lost, they'll see in that moment just how rare and how precious it is. Chorus Man's attitude to all things should be: to treasure them, to protect them, to make efficient use of them. Man cannot exist separately from the rest of creation. That's not what man's attitude should be. Verse 3 Once it is gone, how would one ever get it back, if God doesn't wish to intervene? Man's only solution? Stop the destruction! Then the environment may rebalance itself. Putting an end to all this destruction will stop the plunder and the devastation. Doing so would bring recovery of all the things that God has created. But failure will make it even worse for the environment of all life on the earth whose destruction would quicken over time. Chorus Man's attitude to all things should be: to treasure them, to protect them, to make efficient use of them. Man cannot exist separately from the rest of creation. That's not what man's attitude should be. That's not what man's attitude should be. Adapted from The Word Appears in the Flesh

The following is recorded in the Book of Jonah 4:10-11: “Then said Jehovah, You have had pity on the gourd, for the which you have not labored, neither made it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night: And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than six score thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle?” These are the actual words of Jehovah God, a conversation between Him and Jonah. While this exchange is a brief one, it is brimming with the Creator's care for mankind and His reluctance to give him up. These words express the true attitude and feelings that God holds within His heart for His creation, and with these clear-cut words, the likes of which are rarely heard by man, God states His true intentions for humanity. 1 The Creator is among man at all times. He is always in conversation with man and the entirety of all creation. And He is performing new deeds every day. His essence and disposition are expressed, they are conveyed in His dialogue with man. His thoughts and ideas are revealed completely. Yes, they are shown completely in His deeds. He accompanies and observes mankind at all times, speaks quietly to mankind and all of creation with His silent words. God is in the heavens, amongst His creation. He is keeping watch, and He is waiting. He is at your side. His hands are warm and strong, His footsteps, they are light, His voice graceful and soft, His form passes and turns, embracing all mankind. Beautiful and gentle, that's what His countenance is. He has never ever left, nor has He ever vanished. Day and night, He's with man. He is mankind's constant companion. 2 His devoted care and special affection that He spends on all of humanity, as well as His true concern and love for man, all came to light in a gradual way when He saved the city of Nineveh. In particular, the exchange between Jehovah God and Jonah laid yet barer the degree of pity the Creator felt for the mankind that He Himself had created. You'll learn of God's sincere feelings for humanity through their dialogue. God is in the heavens, amongst His creation. He is keeping watch, and He is waiting. He is at your side. His hands are warm and strong, His footsteps, they are light, His voice graceful and soft, His form passes and turns, embracing all mankind. Beautiful and gentle, that's what His countenance is. He has never ever left, nor has He ever vanished. Day and night, He's with man. He is mankind's constant companion. from The Word Appears in the Flesh

Verse 1 God has come to work in a filthy land, He has come to reveal His holiness. To do His work and save people in this place, He endures great humiliation. Verse 2 This He does for a witness and for all mankind. Through God's work, all see His righteousness, supremacy. By saving a group of the lowly, His greatness is shown, and His uprightness now is fully known. Chorus Though born in a land filthy, yet God is not lowly. This is how His greatness and love show. The more He works in this way, the more man comes to know God's pure and flawless love for all humanity. Verse 3 God is holy, righteous, though born in a foul land, living with the filthy as Jesus lived with sinners. Is not all His work for mankind's survival? Isn't it all for mankind's great salvation? Chorus Though born in a land filthy, yet God is not lowly. This is how His greatness and love show. The more He works in this way, the more man comes to know God's pure and flawless love for all humanity. Though born in a land filthy, yet God is not lowly. This is how His greatness and love show.

Verse 1 God sends forth His wrath because unjust, negative, and evil things disturb and destroy the growth of just things and what's positive. Verse 2 God's anger is not to shield His own status and identity, but to safeguard all just things that are good and positive. Pre-chorus 1 The root of His wrath is to safeguard order and law for man's normal life. This is the root cause of God's wrath. Chorus Since the creation of man, God has sustained man's normal life with His righteous disposition, which has majesty and ire. All that are evil, disruptive, that damage man's normal life are punished, controlled, and wiped because of His wrath; they are destroyed, they are destroyed. Verse 3 If there were not the wrath of God, then humanity would simply descend to abnormal ways of life, just good things would be ruined. Verse 4 Over the past millennia, through God's righteousness, He aborts the evil spirits that aid Satan and oppose Him in His work. Pre-chorus 2 Without God's wrath, all creatures' law and order would be broken or even annihilated. Chorus Since the creation of man, God has sustained man's normal life with His righteous disposition, which has majesty and ire. All that are evil, disruptive, that damage man's normal life are punished, controlled, and wiped because of His wrath; they are destroyed. Bridge Thus, God's work of the salvation of man has always advanced as He had planned. And so it's because of the existence of God's wrath, the most righteous cause among men still stands. Chorus Since the creation of man, God has sustained man's normal life with His righteous disposition, which has majesty and ire. All that are evil, disruptive, that damage man's normal life are punished, controlled, and wiped because of His wrath; they are destroyed, they are destroyed.

I Greatness, holiness, sovereignty and love, details of God's essence and disposition are revealed every time He implements His work, seen in His will toward man, fulfilled in the lives of all people. II Regardless of whether you have felt it in your life, God cares for each person in every way. With sincerity, wisdom, in so many ways, He warms the heart, stirs the soul. This is true today and forever. III Greatness, holiness, sovereignty and love, details of God's essence and disposition are revealed every time He implements His work, seen in His will toward man, fulfilled in the lives of all people.

God gives His best, His best side He gives. The best things, very best things, He gives. I Never disclosing or showing His suffering. God, He endures, waiting in silence. Not cold or numb, not a sign of weakness. God's essence and His love are always selfless. God gives His best, His best side He gives. The best things, very best things, He gives. For all mankind, He suffers; He suffers, bearing quietly. Quietly He gives, He gives His best. II Never disclosing or showing His suffering. God, He endures, waiting in silence. This is the expression of His essence and disposition, of who He really is: the Creator of all things. God gives His best, His best side He gives. The best things, very best things, He gives. For all mankind, He suffers; He suffers, bearing quietly. Quietly He gives, He gives His best. He gives His best, He gives His best. God gives His best, His best side He gives.

I The words of God are full of life, offering us the path we should walk, the comprehension of what the truth is. We begin to be drawn to His words; we begin to focus on the tone and manner of His speaking, and be intentional to care about this ordinary person's inner voice. II For us, God works His heart out; for us, He can't sleep or eat; for us, He weeps and sighs; for us, He groans in sickness. He suffers shame for the sake of our destination and salvation, and His heart sheds tears and bleeds for our rebelliousness and numbness. III Ordinary people don't have such being and possessions of His. Also, any of the corrupted men can't possess or attain them. His tolerance and patience are beyond ordinary people, and His love is not possessed by any created being. from "Beholding the Appearance of God in His Judgment and Chastisement" in The Word Appears in the Flesh

I The Spirit of God has done such great work ever since the world was created. He has done different works in different nations, and across different ages. The people of each age see His different dispositions naturally revealed for all people to see and shown through works that are different. He is God, filled with mercy, filled with loving kindness. He's man's sin offering and shepherd. Yet He gives judgment, curse, and chastisement. A curse on man. II He could lead man on earth for 2,000 years or more and redeem corrupt man from sin. He can conquer all men, who Him, do not know. He is able to make them subject, so that all submit. In the end, He will burn away the filth and unrighteousness in men around the world. So men will see clearly He is holy and wondrous, He is filled with wisdom. He is God, filled with mercy, filled with loving kindness. He's man's sin offering and shepherd. Yet He gives judgment, curse, and chastisement. A curse on man. III To the evil of mankind, He is a burning fire, He is judgment, to judge man's sins, and can dole out punishment. To those to be perfected, He is tribulation and trial, dealing and pruning, also comfort, sustenance, and provider of the word. To those eliminated, He is punishment as well as retribution. He is God, filled with mercy, filled with loving kindness. He's man's sin offering and shepherd. Yet He gives judgment, curse, and chastisement. A curse on man. from "The Two Incarnations Complete the Significance of the Incarnation" in The Word Appears in the Flesh

I God's incarnation shall embody God's substance and expression. And when He's made flesh He'll bring forth the work He's been given to express what He is, bring truth to all men, give them life and show them the way. Any flesh that doesn't embed His substance surely is not God incarnate. II Confirm God's flesh and the true way by His disposition, words and works. Focus on His substance instead of His appearance. It is ignorant and naive to focus on God's external appearance. The outward doesn't determine the inward, and God's work does not conform to man's conceptions. III Didn't Jesus' appearance differ from what the people expected? Didn't His image and dress disguise His identity? Wasn't that why the Pharisees opposed Him? They focused on how He looked and paid no attention to what He said. IV God hopes the brothers and sisters seeking His appearance won't repeat history. Don't follow the Pharisees and nail God to the cross once more. So carefully consider how you will welcome His return. Have a clear idea of how you'll submit to truth. It's the duty of everyone who's waiting for Jesus' return. from Preface to The Word Appears in the Flesh

God's Essence Truly Exists 1 God's realness and His loveliness are brought out by the things so small, the things that man doesn't think He'd do, for they think they're unremarkable. In His essence and disposition there is no pride or disguise, and arrogance, pretense and boastfulness, they aren't there for man to find. God's loveliness is real. God's essence, like His loveliness, is not fake. It's real and truly exists. God's essence, it isn't given by others. It is unchanged by time or by place. 2 God never boasts about what He does, He always loves, cares for and leads His creation, all the human beings, with all His faithfulness and sincerity. Regardless of how much you believe, how much you can touch, feel or see, He is indeed doing all these things, genuinely and sincerely. God's loveliness is real. God's essence, like His loveliness, is not fake. It's real and truly exists. God's essence, it isn't given by others. It is unchanged by time or by place. God's essence, like His loveliness, is not fake. It's real and truly exists. God's essence, it isn't given by others. It is unchanged by time or by place. from The Word Appears in the Flesh

I Christ's substance is determined by His work and expressions. With a heart that is true, He completes what's entrusted, worships God in heaven and seeks His Father's will. This is all determined by His substance, and so too are His natural revelations. So called because His expressions aren't imitations, or from years of man's cultivation or education. They are not learned or self-adorned, but inherent. Ah … They are not learned or self-adorned, but inherent. Ah … II Man may deny His work, His expressions and humanity, they may even deny His life of normal humanity, but not His true heart when worshiping God in heaven. No one can deny that He's here to fulfill the will of the heavenly Father. And no one can deny the sincerity with which He seeks God the Father. His image may not be pleasing to the senses, His discourse may not possess an air of sensation, His work may not be as earth-or heaven-shattering, as what is believed in man's imagination. But He's indeed Christ, who fulfills His Father's will, with a true heart, and total submission and deathly obedience. Ah … It's because His substance is that of the Christ. A truth that's hard to believe but is indeed in existence. A truth that's hard, hard to believe but is indeed in existence. A truth that's hard, it's hard to believe but is indeed in existence. Ah … from "The Substance of Christ Is Obedience to the Will of the Heavenly Father" in The Word Appears in the Flesh

I God came to work on earth to save corrupted humanity. Past salvation was exhausting His compassion and mercy, giving Himself to Satan in exchange for all of mankind. God's salvation is now at the end, separating all according to their kind. He is thoroughly saving humanity through judgment and chastisement. All you shall receive will be His judgment and His chastisement, as well as His merciless smites. II But there is something you should know: There's not a single shred of punishment among all of these merciless smites, all of these merciless smites. He is thoroughly saving humanity through judgment and chastisement. All you shall receive will be His judgment and His chastisement. III No matter how harsh His words, no matter how great His fury, what befalls you are words of teaching; harming you is not His intention. God does not want to doom you; His righteous judgment is to cleanse, and so too are His merciless trials; harsh words or smites are all to save. IV God's method of saving mankind is no longer the same as before. Today, His righteous judgment is your salvation forevermore, evermore. What do you have to say in the face of this judgment and chastisement? Isn't salvation what you've always enjoyed from beginning to the end? He is thoroughly saving humanity through judgment and chastisement. All you shall receive will be His judgment and His chastisement. V You have seen God in the flesh, felt His wisdom and omnipotence, experienced His smites and discipline, but also received His extreme grace. Your blessings are greater than all others, richer than Solomon's wealth and splendor. But would your days have lasted this long, if God did not come to be your Savior, your Savior? If all God wants is to punish you, there would be no need to incarnate. Punishing you takes just a word. You would not have lasted until today. Do you still not believe what God says? He is thoroughly saving humanity. His righteous judgment is your salvation, your salvation forevermore, evermore. from "You Should Put Aside the Blessings of Status and Understand God's Will for the Salvation of Man" in The Word Appears in the Flesh

Almighty God, the Most Lovely One I Almighty God, practical One, most lovely, came from heaven to earth, born into flesh. Live among men yet no one knows who You are. Humbly hidden in flesh, You come to speak. Pain and humiliation, You endure. Life poured out to save us; You are lovely. Almighty God, Almighty God, most lovely One! Who is like You, O God? Who is like You, O God? Most lovely One! You are the fairest of all. No one like You on earth. Most lovely One! Altogether lovely One! II Almighty God, practical One, most lovely! Your heart and love transcend this finite world. Our rebellion and sin show in Your presence. Yet You only refine to cleanse and save. Through Your judgment, through suffering we are cleansed. All You've done brings to us eternal life. Almighty God, Almighty God, most lovely One! Who is like You, O God? Who is like You, O God? Most lovely One! You are the fairest of all. No one like You on earth. Most lovely One! Altogether lovely One! III Your work and words reveal Your great righteousness. They've brought us the greatest salvation. And Your judgment and love have conquered our hearts. We've experienced ourselves Your love and power, known Your righteousness, wisdom, holiness. Who can not ponder all of Your loveliness? Almighty God, Almighty God, most lovely One! Who is like You, O God? Who is like You, O God? Most lovely One! You are the fairest of all. No one like You on earth. Most lovely One! Altogether lovely One!

I When God incarnate comes to do His work on earth, man's faulty notion of Him will forever be laid bare, because the normality and reality of God incarnate is the opposite of man's vague, mythical idea of Him. It's only through this contrast that man's old concept of God is revealed. Only God can do this work. No matter how rich man's words, they cannot articulate the normality, nor the reality of God Himself. When God becomes the flesh and works among mankind, they will see Him more clearly and know Him more practically. When God becomes the flesh and works among mankind, they can be saved from the influence of Satan. Only God incarnate can thoroughly save mankind. II Man knows God more practically and sees Him much more clearly, when God works among them to show His image and being. This effect cannot be achieved by any fleshly man, nor can it be achieved by God's Spirit on His own. Through His incarnation or the flesh His Spirit wears, God achieves His purpose of saving man from Satan. The flesh is both man and God, possessed of humanity and also full divinity; flesh is not Spirit. When God becomes the flesh and works among mankind, they will see Him more clearly and know Him more practically. When God becomes the flesh and works among mankind, they can be saved from the influence of Satan. Only God incarnate can thoroughly save mankind. III The flesh differs from the Spirit, but it is still incarnate God who does the saving work of man, and is Spirit and flesh in one. No matter how He is called, it is ultimately God Himself who saves mankind, for the work of the Spirit cannot be separated from the work of the flesh. It's just the work isn't done by the Spirit but done in the flesh. The work of the Spirit needs no incarnation. But the work of the flesh can't be done by the Spirit. Only through incarnation can God do His work on earth, and fulfill His mission to save corrupt mankind. When God becomes the flesh and works among mankind, they will see Him more clearly and know Him more practically. When God becomes the flesh and works among mankind, they can be saved from the influence of Satan. Only God incarnate can thoroughly save mankind. Only God incarnate can thoroughly save mankind. Only God incarnate can thoroughly save mankind, only God incarnate. from "Corrupt Mankind Is More in Need of the Salvation of God Become Flesh" in The Word Appears in the Flesh

I If it's a question of how you seek God, or how you like to treat God, it's your attitude that matters the most. God can't be neglected or left in the back of your mind. No rather, God is living and ever-present, you'll find. He's not up in third heaven, with nothing to do. He is always there watching; He sees what everyone does, He sees everyone's heart, each word, each deed, how they each play their part and treat God. Whether or not you give yourself to God, your thoughts and actions are known to Him. God is righteous towards everyone. Man's conquest and salvation, it's something that matters to Him. He's serious towards everyone, never treats them as pets or a game to be won. II God's love is not the spoiling kind. His mercy is not indulgent, you'll find. He cherishes and respects all life. His mercy and tolerance carry expectation. They are what humanity needs to survive. God is alive, God truly exists. His attitude towards man is principled. It's flexible towards man's change. His heart transforms with time, circumstance and attitude of each person. God is righteous towards everyone. Man's conquest and salvation, it's something that matters to Him. He's serious towards everyone, never treats them as pets or a game to be won. III Listen, don't be the baby held by God so tenderly. If you feel He will dote on you as if He could never leave you regardless of your attitude, then you should quit dreaming and soon. You should be crystal clear that God's substance, it won't change. But His disposition issues forth at different times, and in different contexts. No rather, God is living and ever-present, you'll find. Through your behaviors, through your attitude towards God, His opinion and attitude to you keep on changing. God is righteous towards everyone. Man's conquest and salvation, it's something that matters to Him. He's serious towards everyone, never treats them as pets or a game to be won. from "How to Know God's Disposition and the Result of His Work" in The Word Appears in the Flesh

I God looks over creation, watching, day after day, observing. Humbly He hides Himself, tasting this human life, watching man's every deed. Who has truly offered themselves to God? Who has ever pursued the truth? Who has taken God earnestly, kept promises made, and followed their duty to God? Who has ever let God dwell inside them? Who has valued God as they would their own life? Who has ever seen His full divine being, or been willing to touch God Himself? When people sink in the waters, God saves them. When they cannot face life, God lifts them and gives them the courage to live again, and gives them a second chance. So they will take Him as their foundation. When they disobey, God takes this chance to let them know Him. II God sees people's old nature, and in mercy allows them a chance to repent and receive a new start. So long as they have one breath left, God will save them from death. How many times have people seen His reaching hands? How often the kindness in His eyes? And have felt all the while the smile on His face? And how many times have they witnessed His wrath or majesty? When people sink in the waters, God saves them. When they cannot face life, God lifts them (that's when God lifts them) and gives them the courage to live again, and gives them a second chance. So they will take Him as their foundation. When they disobey, God takes this chance to let them know Him. Though men have never known Him, God never abuses their weaknesses; considers their hardships with sympathy, chastises them only when they turn away. When people sink in the waters, God saves them. When they cannot face life, God lifts them and gives them the courage to live again, and gives them a second chance. So they will take Him as their foundation. When they disobey, God takes this chance to let them know Him. from "The Fourteenth Utterance" of God's Utterances to the Entire Universe in The Word Appears in the Flesh

I To follow the path of God, don't let go of anything near you, or what happens around you, even if tiny and small. As long as it happens whether you feel it deserves your attention or not, do not let it go. See it as a test from our God. And should you have this attitude, then it proves one thing: Your heart reveres God and wants to shun all evil. If you have a wish to make God happy, then you are not very far from living in the reverence of God and shunning all evil. II Matters that are big or small, when following the path of God, there's no difference at all, there's no difference at all. Things you don't care or talk about, or what's far from the truth in your eyes, you just let them go without thinking too much when they happen to you. You just let them go without thinking too much. If you have a wish to make God happy, then you are not very far from living in the reverence of God and shunning all evil. III One thing you should be clear about: Whatever happens to you, you should see it as a chance to learn how to fear God and shun all evil. And you should know what God is doing then. He is by your side, watching all your words and deeds, and the change in your heart. This is the work God does. This is the work God does. If you have a wish to make God happy, then you are not very far from living in the reverence of God and shunning all evil, and shunning all evil. from "How to Know God's Disposition and the Result of His Work" in The Word Appears in the Flesh

God's love and mercy permeates His work of management from the first to the last detail. I Whether man feels His kind will or not, He is tireless in pursuing the work He needs to do. Whether man comprehends His management or not, God's work brings help and supply that can be felt by all. God's love and mercy permeates His work of management from the first to the last detail. II Perhaps you don't feel today the love and the life God gives, but so long as you don't leave His side, nor forgo your will to seek after truth, one day, surely, you'll see God's smile. For God's purpose in His work of management is to wrest mankind from out of Satan's domain, and not forsake them who're corrupted by Satan, and oppose His will. God's love and mercy permeates His work of management from the first to the last detail. from "Man Can Only Be Saved Amidst the Management of God" in The Word Appears in the Flesh

I If you remain in the Age of Grace, you will never know God's own disposition, or be free from corrupt disposition. And if you live in abundance of grace, but don't know how to know and please God, pitifully believe Him but never gain Him. After you read God's word, and you've experienced all His works in the Age of Kingdom, the dreams you held for many years will all come true. You'll feel you've finally seen God, face to face. II And as you gaze, hear Him speak, appreciate His works and wisdom, and sense how real, almighty He is, you'll know you've seen and gained more than those before you. You'll know truly what it means to believe and follow His heart all the way. III If you cling to the past and reject or deny God's second incarnation, you will remain empty-handed, have nothing, and be guilty of opposing Him. Obey the truth, submit to His work, and come under God's second incarnation, the Almighty, be offered His personal guidance. You will have more, see a higher truth, and receive the real human life, behold visions never seen before. IV When God becomes flesh, He shows His disposition through chastisement and judgment. With this foundation, He brings more truth, shows more ways to practice. And this conquers man, saves him from his corrupt disposition. This is what lies behind the work of God in the Age of Kingdom. You'll feel you've finally seen God, face to face. from Preface to The Word Appears in the Flesh

All Things Are a Manifestation of the Creator's Authority 1 In this new world, before mankind, the Creator prepared the morning and prepared the night. He prepared the firmament, the land, and the seas, the grass, the herbs, He prepared all the trees. He prepared the lights, the seasons, the years, and the days for the new life He would soon create. The authority and power of the Creator were expressed with each new thing that He created. Every one of His thoughts, every one of His utterances, every revelation of His power is a masterpiece among all things, it is a great undertaking most worthy of mankind's deep knowledge and understanding. 2 His words and accomplishments occurred simultaneously, without the slightest interval or discrepancy. The appearance and birth of all the new things were proof of the Creator's authority. He is as good as His word, His word shall be accomplished. What's accomplished shall last for all eternity. This fact has never changed, in the past or the present. And so, it will be for all eternity. Every one of His thoughts, every one of His utterances, every revelation of His power is a masterpiece among all things, it is a great undertaking most worthy of mankind's deep knowledge and understanding. 3 The Creator's power, the Creator's authority produce miracle after miracle, unceasingly. He attracts man's attention, they are transfixed at His deeds, which are astounding and born from the exertion of His authority. His phenomenal power brings delight after delight. Man is dazzled, overjoyed, man gasps in delight. Man is moved, man is awestruck, man cheers. Inside of man, respect and reverence appear. Every one of His thoughts, every one of His utterances, every revelation of His power is a masterpiece among all things, it is a great undertaking most worthy of mankind's deep knowledge and understanding. The authority and deeds of the Creator stir the spirit of man. The authority and deeds of the Creator cleanse the spirit of man. The authority and deeds of the Creator sate the spirit of man. from The Word Appears in the Flesh

I God is resolute in His actions. God's purposes and principles, they're always clear and transparent. They are all pure and flawless, with absolutely no ruses or schemes intermingled within. In other words, the substance of God contains no darkness, contains no evilness. II When people's wicked acts offend God, He will bring His anger down upon them, unless they truly repent before Him. When people continue to oppose God, His wrath will never cease, till they are destroyed. This is God's disposition. In other words, God's mercy or wrath is based on man's deeds and his attitude towards God. III If God continues to subject one person to His wrath, this person's heart doubtlessly opposes God, because he has never truly repented, bowed down his head before God, or possessed true belief in God. He has never obtained God's mercy and tolerance. IV If one often receives God's care and obtains His mercy and tolerance, then this person doubtlessly has true belief in God in his heart. And his heart is not opposed to God. He often repents to God. Even if God's discipline descends upon this person, His wrath shall not. In other words, God's mercy or wrath is based on man's deeds and his attitude towards God. from "God Himself, the Unique II" in The Word Appears in the Flesh

I God's Spirit holds authority over every single thing. His flesh with His substance, the power is still the same. God in flesh can still perform His many works to do. He simply does His Father's will. And God is Spirit, He can save all mankind, and so can God in flesh. God does His own work. II It's something that could never be dreamed or achieved by any man. God is, He is authority, but His flesh can submit to it. This is the real meaning of "Christ obeys the will of the Father." And God is Spirit, He can save all mankind, and so can God in flesh. God does His own work. III God won't disturb His own work, nor will He conflict with it. Work of the Spirit and the flesh are alike. They fulfill the same will and the same work. Despite different qualities, their substances are identical. Both have the essence and identity of God. And God is Spirit, He can save all mankind, and so can God in flesh. God does His own work. And God is Spirit, He can save all mankind, and so can God in flesh. God does His own work. from "The Substance of Christ Is Obedience to the Will of the Heavenly Father" in The Word Appears in the Flesh

All Under the Creator's Authority Is Utterly Perfect 1 All the things that God has made, everything that can move and everything that can't, like birds and fish, flowers and trees, livestock, insects and wild animals, they were all good with God, and in the eyes of God, in accordance with His plan, were at the height of perfection, achieving all the things God wished they would achieve. 2 Step by step He did the work, all the work that He meant to do toward His plan. And one after another, the things He intended to create appeared. Each of them is a reflection and result of His authority. And because of these, all creatures couldn't help but be so thankful for the grace of the Creator, so thankful for the provision of the Creator. 3 As the amazing deeds of God began to manifest themselves, this world, it swelled piece by piece with all of the many things created by God. And it changed from chaos, and it changed from darkness to clarity and brightness, from stillness to liveliness, deathly stillness to endless vitality. 4 Among all things of creation, from amongst the greatest to the very small, from the small to the microscopic, there was none not created by the Creator's authority, by the Creator's power. There was unique, inherent necessity and value to the existence of each and every creature. No matter what shape and structure they have, they all exist under His authority. 5 Under the Creator's authority, all creatures shall play a new symphony for His reign, commence a prelude for His work of the new day. And it is at that moment, the Creator also shall open up a new page in the work of His management. Yes, the Creator shall open up a new page. 6 Yes, according to the law of the shoots of spring, the ripening of summer, autumn's harvest, winter's storage, all of which assigned by the Creator, all things shall echo with God's own management plan, shall welcome their own new day, new beginning, new life course. They shall soon reproduce in endless succession, so they may welcome in each new day, under the reign of His authority. All is utterly perfect. from The Word Appears in the Flesh

I Your knowledge of God's authority, His power, identity and substance cannot be achieved or gained from your imagination. Don't imagine, doesn't mean do nothing, or just sit and await destruction. It means don't infer using logic, nor study through knowledge or science. In eating, drinking, experiencing God's words and fellowship, you'll experience and verify God's authority, and gain a gradual understanding and knowledge of it. This is the only way, there are no shortcuts. II Through His words, truth, all you face in life, appreciate, verify, confirm the God you believe has authority and sovereignty over your fate, know that His power does at all times prove Him to be the true God Himself. It's the only way to understand God, the only way to understand God. In eating, drinking, experiencing God's words and fellowship, you'll experience and verify God's authority, and gain a gradual understanding and knowledge of it. This is the only way, there are no shortcuts. This is the only way, there are no shortcuts.

I God is life, the source of all living beings. God's authority makes all things obey His words. God's word makes them come into being. When God commands, they will live and reproduce. God rules all living beings, and there'll be no deviation forever and ever. The power of God can create things of any form that have life and vitality. And this is determined by the life of God. II This power, no person nor object holds. The Creator is the only one who has it. It's a symbol of His unique identity, substance, status, and it's called authority. God rules all living beings, and there'll be no deviation forever and ever. The power of God can create things of any form that have life and vitality. And this is determined by the life of God. III Remember, apart from Him, no man or thing has anything to do with the word "authority" or its essence. God rules all living beings, and there'll be no deviation forever and ever. The power of God can create things of any form that have life and vitality. And this is determined by the life of God. from "God Himself, the Unique I" in The Word Appears in the Flesh
