📚What will the outcome of the CCP government and the religious world be after they madly condemn and resist God?

Bible Verses for Reference:

from Utterances and Testimonies of Christ in the Beginning

Christ comes during the last days so that all those who truly believe in Him may be provided with life. … If you are incapable of acknowledging Him, and instead condemn, blaspheme or even persecute Him, then you are bound to burn for eternity, and shall never enter the kingdom of God. For this Christ is Himself the expression of the Holy Spirit, the expression of God, the One whom God has entrusted to do His work on earth. And so I say that if you cannot accept all that is done by Christ of the last days, then you blaspheme the Holy Spirit. The retribution that should be suffered by those who blaspheme the Holy Spirit is self-evident to all. … For what you oppose is not a man, what you deny is not some puny being, but Christ. Are you aware of this consequence? You have not made a small mistake, but committed a heinous crime.

                                         from “Only Christ of the Last Days Can Give Man the Way of Eternal Life” in The Word Appears in the Flesh

Recall what followed after the Jews nailed Jesus to the cross 2,000 years ago. The Jews were expelled from Israel and fled to countries around the world. Many were killed, and the entire Jewish nation was subjected to unprecedented destruction. They had nailed God to the cross—committed a heinous crime—and provoked the disposition of God. They were made to pay for what they did, were made to bear the consequences of their actions. They condemned God, rejected God, and so they had but one fate: to be punished by God. This is the bitter consequence and disaster that their rulers brought upon their country and nation.

… We trust that no country or power can stand in the way of what God wishes to achieve. Those that obstruct God’s work, resist the word of God, disturb and impair the plan of God shall ultimately be punished by God. He who defies the work of God shall be sent to hell; any country that defies the work of God shall be destroyed; any nation that rises up to oppose the work of God shall be wiped from this earth, and shall cease to exist.

from “God Presides Over the Fate of All Mankind” in The Word Appears in the Flesh

When the people have all been made complete and all the nations of earth become Christ’s kingdom, then will be the time when the seven thunders peal. The current day is a stride forth in the direction of that stage, the charge has been unleashed on the coming time. This is God’s plan—in the near future it will be realized. However, God has already accomplished all which He has said. Thus, it is clear that the nations of earth are but castles in the sand trembling as high tide nears: The last day is imminent and the great red dragon will topple under God’s word. To ensure that God’s plan is carried out successfully, the angels of heaven have descended upon earth, doing their utmost to satisfy God. The incarnate God Himself has deployed to the field of battle to wage war on the enemy. Wherever the incarnation appears, so the enemy is destroyed from that place. China is the first to be annihilated, to be laid to waste by the hand of God. God gives absolutely no quarter to China.

from “Interpretation of the Tenth Utterance” in The Word Appears in the Flesh

But so long as the old world continues to exist, I will hurl forth My rage upon its nations, openly promulgating My administrative decrees throughout the universe, and visit chastisement on whomever violates them:

As I turn My face to the universe to speak, all mankind hears My voice, and thereupon sees all the works I have wrought throughout the universe. Those who go contrary to My will, that is to say, who oppose Me with the deeds of man, will fall down under My chastisement. … The many nations within the universe will be partitioned afresh and replaced by My nation, so that the nations upon the earth will disappear forever and become a nation that worships Me; all the nations of the earth will be destroyed, and will cease to exist. Of the human beings within the universe, all those belonging to the devil will be exterminated; all who worship Satan will be laid low by My burning fire—that is, except for those now within the stream, the rest will be turned to ashes. When I chastise the many peoples, those in the religious world will, in differing degrees, return to My kingdom, conquered by My works, because they will have seen the advent of the Holy One riding on a white cloud. All of humanity will follow their own kind, and will receive chastisements varying with what they have done. Those who have stood against Me will all perish; as for those whose deeds on the earth have not involved Me, they will, because of how they have acquitted themselves, continue to exist on the earth under the governance of My sons and My people. I will reveal Myself to the myriad peoples and the myriad nations, sounding forth with My own voice upon the earth to proclaim the completion of My great work for all mankind to see with their own eyes.

                                    from “The Twenty-sixth Utterance” of God’s Utterances to the Entire Universe in The Word Appears in the Flesh

The world is falling! Babylon is in paralysis! The religious world—how could it not be destroyed by My authority on earth? Who still dares to disobey and oppose Me? The scribes? All religious officials? The rulers and authorities on earth? The angels? Who does not celebrate the perfection and fullness of My body? Among all peoples, who does not sing My praises without cease, who is not unfailingly happy? … How could the countries on earth not perish? How could the countries on earth not fall? How could My people not cheer? How could they not sing with joy?

                                                 from “The Twenty-second Utterance” of God’s Utterances to the Entire Universe in The Word Appears in the Flesh

A humanity had become corrupt to the extreme. They did not know who God was or where they had come from. If you mentioned God, these people would attack, slander and blaspheme. Even when God’s servants had come to spread His warning, these corrupt people not only showed no signs of repentance; they did not abandon their wicked conduct. To the contrary, they brazenly harmed God’s servants. What they expressed and revealed was their nature and substance of extreme enmity toward God. We can see that these corrupt people’s resistance against God was more than a revelation of their corrupt disposition, just as it was more than an instance of slandering or mocking stemming from a lack of understanding of the truth. Neither stupidity nor ignorance caused their wicked conduct; it was not because these people had been deceived, and it was certainly not because they had been misled. Their conduct had reached the level of flagrantly brazen antagonism, opposition and uproar against God. Without a doubt, this kind of human behavior would enrage God, and it would enrage His disposition—a disposition that must not be offended. Therefore, God directly and openly released His wrath and His majesty; this is a true revelation of His righteous disposition. Faced with a city overflowing with sin, God desired to destroy it in the swiftest manner possible; He wished to eradicate the people within it and the entirety of their sins in the most complete way, to make this city’s people cease to exist and to stop the sin within this place from multiplying. The swiftest and most complete way of doing so was to burn it down with fire. God’s attitude toward the people of Sodom was not one of abandonment or disregard; rather, He used His wrath, majesty and authority to punish, strike down and utterly destroy these people. His attitude toward them was one not only of physical destruction but also of destruction of the soul, an eternal eradication. This is the true implication of God’s desire for them to “cease to exist.”

from “God Himself, the Unique II” in Continuation of The Word Appears in the Flesh

When people blaspheme God, when they anger Him, He issues a verdict, and this verdict is His final outcome. It is described this way in the Bible: “Why I say to you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven to men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven to men” (Mat 12:31), and “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!” (Mat 23:13). However, is it recorded in the Bible what the outcome was with those scribes and Pharisees, as well as those people who said He was mad after the Lord Jesus said these things? Is it recorded if they suffered any punishment? It is certain that there wasn’t. Saying here that there “wasn’t” isn’t that it wasn’t recorded, but in fact there was no outcome that could be seen with human eyes. This “wasn’t” elucidates an issue, that is, God’s attitude and principles for handling certain things. God’s treatment of people who blaspheme or resist Him, or even those who malign Him—people who intentionally attack, malign, and curse Him—He does not turn a blind eye or a deaf ear. He has a clear attitude toward them. He despises these people, and in His heart He condemns them. He even openly declares the outcome for them, so that people know that He has a clear attitude toward those who blaspheme Him, and so that they know how He will determine their outcome. However, after God said these things, people still could rarely see the truth of how God would handle those people, and they could not understand the principles behind God’s outcome, His verdict for them. That is to say, mankind cannot see the particular attitude and methods God has for handling them. This has to do with God’s principles for doing things. God uses the advent of facts to deal with the evil behavior of some people. That is, He does not announce their sin and does not determine their outcome, but He directly uses the advent of facts to allow them to be punished, to get their due retribution. When these facts happen, it is people’s flesh that suffers punishment; it is all something that can be seen with human eyes. When dealing with some people’s evil behavior, God just curses them with words, but at the same time, God’s anger comes upon them, and the punishment they receive may be something people cannot see, but this type of outcome may be even more serious than the outcomes that people can see of being punished or being killed. This is because under the circumstances that God has determined not to save this type of person, to no longer show mercy or have tolerance for them, to provide them with no more opportunities, the attitude that He takes toward them is to put them aside. What is the meaning of “put aside”? The meaning of this term on its own is to put something to one side, to no longer pay attention to it. Here, when God “puts aside,” there are two different explanations of its meaning: The first explanation is that He has given that person’s life, that person’s everything over to Satan to deal with. God would no longer be responsible and He would no longer manage it. Whether that person were mad, or stupid, and whether in life or in death, or if they descended into hell for their punishment, it would have nothing to do with God. That would mean that that creature would have no relation to the Creator. The second explanation is that God has determined that He Himself wants to do something with this person, with His own hands. It is possible that He will utilize this kind of person’s service, or that He will utilize this kind of person as a foil. It’s possible that He will have a special way of dealing with this type of person, a special way of treating them—just like Paul. This is the principle and attitude in God’s heart of how He has determined to deal with this kind of person. So when people resist God, and malign and blaspheme Him, if they aggravate His disposition, or if they reach God’s bottom line, the consequences are unthinkable. The most severe consequence is that God hands their lives and their everything over to Satan, once and for all. They will not be forgiven for all of eternity. This means that this person has become food in Satan’s mouth, a toy in its hand, and from then on God has nothing to do with them. Can you imagine what kind of misery it was when Satan tempted Job? Under the condition that Satan was not permitted to harm Job’s life, Job still suffered greatly. And isn’t it even more difficult to imagine the ravages of Satan a person would be subjected to who has been completely handed over to Satan, who is completely within Satan’s grasp, who has completely lost God’s care and mercy, who is no longer under the Creator’s rule, who has been stripped of the right to worship Him, and the right to be a creature under God’s rule, whose relationship with the Lord of creation has been completely cut off? Satan’s persecution of Job was something that could be seen with human eyes, but if God hands over a person’s life to Satan, its consequence will be something that no one can imagine. It’s just like some people being reborn as a cow, or a donkey, or some people being taken over, possessed by unclean, evil spirits, and so on. This is the outcome, the end of some people who are handed over to Satan by God. From the outside, it looks like those people who ridiculed, maligned, condemned, and blasphemed the Lord Jesus did not suffer any consequences. However, the truth is that God has an attitude for dealing with everything. He may not use clear language to tell people the outcome of how He deals with every type of person. Sometimes He does not speak directly, but He does things directly. That He does not speak about it doesn’t mean there isn’t an outcome—it is possible that the outcome is even more serious. From appearances, it seems God does not speak to some people to reveal His attitude; in fact, God has not wanted to pay them any mind for a long time. He does not want to see them anymore. Because of the things they have done, their behavior, because of their nature and their essence, God only wants them to disappear from His sight, wants to hand them over directly to Satan, to give their spirit, soul, and body to Satan, to allow Satan to do whatever it wants. It is clear to what extent God hates them, to what extent He is disgusted by them. If a person angers God to the point that God doesn’t even want to see them again, that He will completely give up on them, to the point that God doesn’t even want to deal with them Himself—if it gets to the point that He will hand them over to Satan for it to do as it will, to allow Satan to control, consume, and treat them in any way—this person is thoroughly finished. Their right to be a human has been permanently revoked, and their right as a creature has come to an end. Isn’t this the most serious punishment?

The Man’s Fellowship:

The consequence of condemning God is annihilation and eternal perdition in hell, your soul being burnt in the lake of fire and brimstone for millennia. Look at the Israelites. What divine retribution befell them for crucifying the Lord Jesus? More than forty years later, a Roman general by the name of Tito led an army of one hundred thousand and destroyed Israel. The Israelites were forced into exile across the world for refuge! Then the Israelites beseeched God, “Why are we reduced to slaves in other nations? Why did our race face such unprecedented plight? Why didn’t You rescue us when our infants and children were being slaughtered? Why did You hide Your face from us?” By then, they were still trying to argue with God. “You deserve it!” God said that this is a well-deserved retribution for crucifying God! For your sin of convicting and crucifying the incarnate God, the kingdom of Israel would be destroyed for two thousand years. The people of Israel would be enslaved, slaughtered and subject to endless suffering, eternal suffering. Isn’t it divine retribution? Isn’t it the disposition of God? Nowadays, both the religious circle and the great red dragon are condemning Almighty God. When studying the true way and seeking the truth, many people stop and give up all when they hear the negative propaganda of the great red dragon and the confusing words of the religious circle. In the end, who will be accountable for the annihilation of these people’s souls? The culprits are the great red dragon and the religious circle. Therefore, God said the great red dragon and the religious pastors and elders are demons that devour human souls, and fiends that obstruct people’s investigation and pursuit of the true way! Why doesn’t God save these people then? God lets these people be ruined in order to convict the great red dragon, convict this age, and settle the score with the people of this age. Finally God said, I want to nail people of the whole world to the cross upside down. Since you crucified Christ, I will crucify you all! This is the disposition of God. Therefore, no matter how you resist God, He will not respond to you. Overtly, God does not seem angry. There is no visible sign or perceptible rumbling. You just wait. God never rushes at work. After the Israelites crucified the Lord Jesus, divine retribution didn’t come for another forty years. Wasn’t it so? Just as many evil people you see today. God simply ignores them initially, as if He doesn’t see or pay attention to them. God has His own arrangement and timing. When their sins mount to a breaking point, like straws being piled on a camel’s back, divine retribution will deal them a crushing blow. Isn’t divine retribution starting to take a toll on the great red dragon? Infighting is emerging within the Communist Party. The more crackdown leveled against corrupt officials, the more intense and explosive the infighting will become, and chaos will follow. Isn’t it so? Chaos will reign when divine retribution comes. As the sayings go, “What goes around comes around. You reap what you sow. Sin makes its own hell, and goodness its own heaven. It is only a matter of time.” The words of Revelation will be fulfilled when divine retribution comes: “My reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be” (Rev 22:12). Is there any divine retribution going on today? Do you see it clearly? Divine retribution is the evidence of God’s dominance and righteousness. Do you agree?

from Sermons and Fellowship on Entry Into Life, Volume 142

When the great catastrophe comes, China will be the first to be destroyed, and destroyed by the hand of God. No sooner was this said than it was confirmed as an accomplished fact, something already completely certain. What proof is there? There is a mountain in Guizhou, China where a landslide revealed a large rock with Chinese characters carved on it. What characters? Scientists went to investigate it, took photos, and published them in the newspapers, six large characters reading: The Chinese Communist Party will perish! These six characters were carved high up on the rocks of the mountain. According to the geologists who went there to investigate, the characters were not carved by humans, and the rock was formed several hundred million years ago. So when were these characters created? We can’t say whether it was several thousand years ago, or tens of thousands of years, or possibly several hundred thousand years ago. So some have said, “That’s not right. If you’re saying the characters were formed thousands or tens of thousands of years ago, the Communist Party didn’t yet exist then, it hadn’t been formed. How could there be the characters for ‘the Chinese Communist Party will perish’ when it had not yet been formed? How many years altogether has the Chinese Communist Party been in existence?” The Chinese Communist Party was formed in Shanghai in 1921. That’s over ninety years ago. So what about that rock? Several hundred million years old. And the characters? Perhaps several hundred thousand years old. So if there was no Communist Party then how could the characters have been formed? Is something like that possible? Is there a basis for it in God’s words? God has such power. All is orchestrated by God, arranged by God, and destined by God. Therefore, hundreds of thousands of years ago, tens of millions of years ago, long before this thing appeared, God had already preordained that in the last days He would make a group of people who would be in accord with God; He had preordained that the Communist Party would be selected as a foil; He had preordained where the group in accord with Him would be born, and when they would come before God. He had preordained how much we would have to suffer while experiencing His work, whether it be eighty-one tribulations or one hundred and eighty tribulations. He preordained all of these. Everything was preordained. Therefore, because God preordained them, and because God is almighty, the prophecies of the Book of Revelation and the prophetic books of the Bible were created. The prophecies in the prophetic books were uttered several thousand years before the events happened, right? Those things in the Book of Revelation were spoken of two thousand years ago. They are the revelations written by John the Apostle after he saw visions on the island of Patmos. These things were uttered two thousand years ago, so God long ago arranged the events of the last days, isn’t that so? As for the Communist Party, God has decided that the Communist Party will do this service of acting as a foil in the last days. When it has completed its mission serving as a foil God will then destroy it. Why has God exposed those characters on the rock in Guizhou in advance and let people see them? This rock was exposed just at the high tide of the Communist Party defying God, condemning God, and persecuting God’s chosen people. He has used this rock to reveal a secret, which is that God has already preordained that the Communist Party is ultimately to be destroyed, and so God’s chosen people will have faith in Him, right? Isn’t it by means of this rock that God has spoken to people, to give them revelation? If I put it this way is it easy for people to understand? Now let’s take another look at this sentence of God’s: “More than this,it is a symbol of Him who cannot be overcome or invaded by the darkness and any enemy force” (“It Is Very Important to Understand God’s Disposition” in The Word Appears in the Flesh). Is that true? Everyone says yes. God preordained things long ago, before there was a Communist Party. Before there was this evil world, God had already preordained things and these are some of the things that God has preordained. Can we recognize God’s disposition in all this: “More than this, it is a symbol of Him who cannot be overcome or invaded by the darkness and any enemy force”? (“It Is Very Important to Understand God’s Disposition” in The Word Appears in the Flesh). Is it easy to recognize? So if some new believers ask whether or not God can destroy the great red dragon, this is fitting testimony. How else can you bear witness? You can say that the Roman Empire persecuted Christians even worse in the age of the apostles. The Roman government killed and beheaded who knows how many. In the end how was it destroyed? It was also destroyed by God, destroyed with plague. When the great plague struck, the corpses covered the territory of the Roman Empire. God finished it off with the plague. Some nations He has finished off with popular rebellions. Some nations He has finished off with warfare. There have been all sorts of ways to finish them off. So how will God finish off the Chinese Communist Party? God will destroy it with His own hand! After God has returned to Zion He will instantly bring catastrophic destruction down on the Communist Party, this we must understand. These things are enough to demonstrate that God’s disposition “More than this, it is a symbol of Him who cannot be overcome or invaded by the darkness and any enemy force” (“It Is Very Important to Understand God’s Disposition” in The Word Appears in the Flesh).

from Sermons and Fellowship on Entry Into Life, Volume 144

The religious community’s history of resistance to God goes back at least to the end of the Age of Law. When God was incarnated and did His work for the first time during the Age of Grace, the religious community had already been taken over by the Pharisees and antichrists a long time ago. It became the main opposition force to the Lord Jesus’ work of redemption. When Almighty God, Christ of the last days, appears and does His work, those in the religious community still stand as enemy force to God’s judgment work in the last days. Not only do they fanatically condemn and blaspheme against Almighty God, they collaborate with the CCP satanic regime to capture and persecute those who bear witness to Almighty God. They have committed the heinous sin of crucifying God on the cross again! Not only did the Lord Jesus curse the Pharisees that they were evil in essence, revealing the darkness of the religious community, but when Almighty God does His work of judgment in the last days, He also exposes the pastors and elders’ true essence: their resistance to God. In addition, He curses the antichrists that once again crucify God on the cross. This really is thought-provoking! Both times God was incarnated, He condemned and cursed the religious community. What does this show? God’s elect finally understand that the religious community, Babylon the great, is destined to fall. The religious pastors and leaders believe in God in name only, but never really exalt God or bear witness to Him. They definitely do not follow His will. They cannot bring God’s elect before Him. They certainly cannot lead them down the right track of faith in God, so that they understand the truth and know God by practicing and experiencing His words. The religious leaders completely go against God’s will. They do not practice the Lord’s words themselves, but preach biblical knowledge and theological theory to show off and make people look up to them and worship them. They lead the believers on the God-resisting path of the Pharisees. They hurt and ruin many of God’s elect. This is enough to prove that the religious leaders have all become Satan’s tools, genuine antichrists. During the three stages of His work to save mankind, God has been incarnated twice to redeem humanity and save humanity. The entire religious community are enemies of Christ; they have become stumbling blocks to God’s work of salvation. They have crucified God twice and have broken God’s heart; they have offended God’s disposition. How could they not be cursed and punished by Him? It is just as the prophecies in Revelation say, “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit …” (Rev 18:2), “Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication” (Rev 14:8), “Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is your judgment come” (Rev 18:10).

They completely display God’s holy, righteous and unoffendable disposition. Those that resist God, interrupt and disturb God’s work will definitely receive punishment and retribution from God. This is determined by God’s righteous disposition. As is known to all, in the Age of Law, the citizens of Sodom publicly denied God and resisted Him. They enraged His disposition and were all destroyed by God; they were burned to nothing by the fire from heaven. During the Age of Grace, the Jewish chief priests, scribes and Pharisees publicly resisted and condemned the Lord Jesus. Eventually, they colluded with the Roman government to crucify the Lord Jesus on the cross. They committed a grave sin that provoked God’s disposition. The entire Jewish nation was subjected to unprecedented destruction. In the last days, the religious leaders wantonly judge, resist and condemn Almighty God. They even cooperate and collude with the CCP devil to suppress, arrest and persecute those brothers and sisters who spread the gospel of the kingdom. They committed the heinous sins of blaspheming against the Holy Spirit and recrucifying God on the cross long ago. Isn’t their evil behavior even worse than that of the men of Sodom? Isn’t it incomparably worse than that of the Jewish Pharisees? They are the antichrists exposed by God’s work during the last days. They are the religious evil force that has resisted God more severely and fanatically than any other force in history! The religious community is composed entirely of evil forces that resist God. It is a nest of antichrist demons. It is a staunch bastion which tries to stand with the kingdom of Christ as an equal. They are a satanic camp of sworn enemies to God that stubbornly rebel against Him! God’s righteous disposition cannot be offended. God’s holiness cannot be besmirched! God’s work in the last days is the dawning of a new age and the end of the old one. The religious community that is controlled by all manner of antichrist demons as well as this evil world will be destroyed soon by God’s disaster in the last days. God’s righteous punishment has already arrived! It’s just as Almighty God says, “The world is falling! Babylon is in paralysis! The religious world—how could it not be destroyed by My authority on earth?” (“The Twenty-second Utterance ” of God’s Utterances to the Entire Universe in The Word Appears in the Flesh).

📚What wisdom and omnipotence of God is revealed in His using the service of the CCP government and the religious world? (1)

Relevant Words of God:

My entire management plan, which spans six thousand years, consists of three phases, or three ages: first, the Age of Law; second, the Age of Grace (which is also the Age of Redemption); and finally, the Age of Kingdom. My work in these three ages differs according to the nature of each age, but at each stage it accords with man’s needs—or rather, it varies according to the tricks that Satan employs in My war against it. The purpose of My work is to defeat Satan, to make manifest My wisdom and omnipotence, to expose all Satan’s tricks and thereby to save all of humanity, which lives under its domain. It is to show My wisdom and omnipotence while at the same time revealing the hideousness of Satan. Moreover, it is to teach My creations to discriminate between good and evil, to recognize that I am the Ruler of all things, to see clearly that Satan is humanity’s foe, the lowest of the low, the evil one, and to make the difference between good and evil, truth and falsehood, holiness and filth, greatness and baseness, as clear as day. This way, ignorant humanity may bear witness to Me that it is not I who corrupt humanity, and only I—the Creator—can save humanity, can bestow upon them things for enjoyment; and they may come to know that I am the Ruler of all things and Satan is merely one of My creations, which later turned against Me.

                                               from “The Truth Concerning the Work in the Age of Redemption” in The Word Appears in the Flesh

Now you should notice that God does not eliminate Satan right away, so that man is able to see how Satan has corrupted people, and how God has saved people. Only after man is able to see the extent of Satan’s corruption of man, how Satan’s list of crimes reaches the heavens does God ultimately eliminate Satan, so that people can see that therein is God’s righteousness and His disposition.

from “How to Understand the Righteous Disposition of God” in Records of Christ’s Talks

In My plan, Satan has ever snapped at the heels of every step, and, as the foil of My wisdom, has always tried to find ways and means to disrupt My original plan. But could I succumb to its deceitful schemes? All in heaven and on earth serves Me—could the deceitful schemes of Satan be any different? This is precisely the intersection of My wisdom, it is precisely that which is wondrous about My deeds, and it is the principle by which My entire management plan is carried out. During the time of the building of the kingdom, still I do not avoid the deceitful schemes of Satan, but continue to do the work I must do. Among all things in the universe, I have chosen the deeds of Satan as My foil. Is this not My wisdom? Is this not precisely that which is wondrous about My work?

                                        from “The Eight Utterance” of God’s Utterances to the Entire Universe in The Word Appears in the Flesh

When I formally begin My work, all people move as I move, such that people throughout the universe occupy themselves in step with Me, there is “jubilation” across the universe, and man is spurred onward by Me. In consequence, the great red dragon itself is whipped into a state of frenzy and bewilderment by Me, and serves My work, and, despite being unwilling, is unable to follow its own desires, leaving it no choice but to submit to My control. In all of My plans, the great red dragon is My foil, My enemy, and also My servant; as such, I have never relaxed My “requirements” of it. Therefore, the final stage of the work of My incarnation is completed in its household. In this way, the great red dragon is more able to do service for Me properly, through which I will conquer it and complete My plan.

                                  from “The Twenty-ninth Utterance” of God’s Utterances to the Entire Universe in The Word Appears in the Flesh

In the nation of the great red dragon, I have carried out a stage of work unfathomable to human beings, causing them to sway in the wind, after which many quietly drift away with the blowing of the wind. Truly, this is the “threshing floor” I am about to clear; it is what I yearn for and it is also My plan. For many wicked ones have crept in while I am at work, but I am in no hurry to drive them away. Rather, I shall disperse them when the time is right. Only after that shall I be the fountain of life, allowing those who truly love Me to receive from Me the fruit of the fig tree and the fragrance of the lily. In the land where Satan sojourns, the land of dust, there remains no pure gold, only sand, and so, meeting with these circumstances, I do such a stage of work. You should know that what I gain is pure, refined gold, not sand. How can the wicked remain in My house? How can I allow foxes to be parasites in My paradise? I employ every conceivable method to drive these things away. Before My will is revealed, no one is aware of what I am about to do. Taking this opportunity, I drive away those wicked ones, and they are forced to leave My presence. This is what I do to the wicked, but there will still be a day for them to do service for Me.

       from “The Seven Thunders Peal—Prophesying That the Gospel of the Kingdom Shall Spread Throughout the Universe” in The Word Appears in the Flesh

According to human imagining, the seven bowls of plagues are directed to all the countries and peoples of the world, but in fact this is not the case. These seven bowls of plagues refer to the influence of Satan the devil and to the conspiracy of the great red dragon (the object which I use to render service for Me). At that time I will release Satan and the great red dragon to chastise the sons and the people, which will reveal who are the sons and who are the people. Those who are deceived are those who are not predestined by Me. But My firstborn sons will at this time be reigning with Me, and by this is made complete the sons and the people.

from Utterances and Testimonies of Christ in the Beginning

God intends to use a portion of evil spirits’ work to perfect a portion of man, so that these people can completely see through demons’ deeds, and allow everyone to truly understand their ancestors. Only then can humans completely break free, not only forsaking the posterity of the demons, but even more so their ancestors. This is the original intent of God completely defeating the great red dragon, to make it so that all of man knows the great red dragon’s true form, completely tearing off its mask, and seeing its true form. This is what God wants to achieve, and it is His final goal on earth for which He has done so much work; He aims to accomplish this in all of man. This is known as the maneuver of all things for God’s purpose.

from “Interpretation of the Forty-first Utterance” in The Word Appears in the Flesh

Perhaps you all remember these words: “For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, works for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.” In the past, you have all heard this saying, yet none understood the true meaning of the words. Today, you know well the real significance they hold. These words are what God will accomplish in the last days. And they will be accomplished upon those cruelly afflicted by the great red dragon in the land where it lies. The great red dragon persecutes God and is the enemy of God, so in this land, those who believe in God are subjected to humiliation and persecution. That is why these words will become reality in you group of people. As the work is carried out in a land that opposes God, all of His work is met with inordinate hindrance, and many of His words cannot be accomplished in good time; hence, people are refined because of the words of God. This too is an element of suffering. It is greatly arduous for God to carry out His work in the land of the great red dragon, but it is through such difficulty that God does a stage of His work to make manifest His wisdom and wondrous deeds. God takes this opportunity to make this group of people complete. Because of people’s suffering, their caliber, and all the satanic disposition of people in this unclean land, God does His work of purification and conquest so that, from this, He may gain glory and gain those who stand witness to His deeds. This is the full significance of all the sacrifices that God has made for this group of people. That is to say, God does the work of conquest just through those who oppose Him. Therefore, only doing so can manifest the great power of God. In other words, only those in the unclean land are worthy to inherit the glory of God, and only this can give prominence to the great power of God.

from “Is the Work of God So Simple as Man Imagines?” in The Word Appears in the Flesh

Regardless of what God does or the means by which He does it, regardless of the cost, or His objective, the purpose of His actions does not change. His purpose is to work into man God’s words, God’s requirements, and God’s will for man; in other words, it is to work into man all that God believes to be positive in accordance with His steps, enabling man to understand God’s heart and comprehend God’s substance, and allowing him to obey God’s sovereignty and arrangements, and thus allowing man to attain the fear of God and shunning of evil—all of which is one aspect of God’s purpose in all He does. The other aspect is that, because Satan is the foil and serving object in God’s work, man is often given to Satan; this is the means God uses to allow people to see the wickedness, ugliness, and contemptibility of Satan amid Satan’s temptations and attacks, thus causing people to hate Satan and be able to know and recognize that which is negative. This process allows them to gradually free themselves from Satan’s control, and from Satan’s accusations, interference, and attacks—until, thanks to God’s words, their knowledge and obedience of God, and their faith in God and fear of Him, they triumph over the attacks of Satan, and triumph over the accusations of Satan; only then will they have been completely delivered from the domain of Satan. People’s deliverance means that Satan has been defeated, it means that they are no longer the food in Satan’s mouth—that instead of swallowing them, Satan has relinquished them. This is because such people are upright, because they have faith, obedience, and fear toward God, and because they completely break with Satan. They bring shame upon Satan, they make a coward of Satan, and they utterly defeat Satan. Their conviction in following God, and obedience to and fear of God defeat Satan, and make Satan completely give them up. Only people such as this have truly been gained by God, and it is this which is God’s ultimate objective in saving man. If they wish to be saved, and wish to be completely gained by God, then all those who follow God must face temptations and attacks both great and small from Satan. Those who emerge from these temptations and attacks and are able to fully defeat Satan are those who have been saved by God. Which is to say, those who have been saved unto God are those who have undergone God’s trials, and who have been tempted and attacked by Satan an untold number of times. Those who have been saved unto God understand God’s will and requirements, and are able to acquiesce to God’s sovereignty and arrangements, and they do not forsake the way of fearing God and shunning evil amid Satan’s temptations. Those who are saved unto God possess honesty, they are kindhearted, they differentiate between love and hate, they have a sense of justice and are rational, and they are able to care for God and treasure all that is of God. Such people are not bound, spied upon, accused, or abused by Satan, they are completely free, they have been completely liberated and released. Job was just such a man of freedom, and this is precisely the significance of why God handed him over to Satan.

…………

During the work of His abiding provision and support of man, God tells the entirety of His will and requirements to man, and shows His deeds, disposition, and what He has and is to man. The objective is to equip man with stature, and to allow man to gain various truths from God while following Him—truths that are the weapons given to man by God with which to fight Satan. Thus equipped, man must face God’s tests. God has many means and avenues for testing man, but every one of them requires the “cooperation” of God’s enemy: Satan. Which is to say, having given man the weapons with which to do battle with Satan, God hands man over to Satan and allows Satan to “test” man’s stature. If man can break out from Satan’s battle formations, if he can escape Satan’s encirclement and still live, then man will have passed the test. But if man fails to leave Satan’s battle formations, and submits to Satan, then he will not have passed the test. Whatever aspect of man God examines, the criteria for His examination are whether or not man stands firm in his testimony when attacked by Satan, and whether or not he has forsaken God and surrendered and submitted to Satan while ensnared by Satan. It may be said that whether or not man can be saved depends on whether he can overcome and defeat Satan, and whether or not he can gain freedom depends on whether he is able to lift up, on his own, the weapons given to him by God to overcome Satan’s bondage, making Satan completely abandon hope and leave him alone. If Satan abandons hope and relinquishes someone, this means that Satan will never again try to take this person from God, will never again accuse and interfere with this person, will never again wantonly torture or attack them; only someone such as this will truly have been gained by God. This is the entire process by which God gains people.

Eastern Lightning｜The Church of Almighty God was founded personally by Almighty God, Christ of the last days. Almighty God has expressed all the truths of purifying and saving man and done the work of judgment beginning with the house of God. It completely fulfills the Bible prophecy, "Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches." (Rev 2:7). Because of the appearance and speaking of Christ of the last days, more and more people who long for and seek the truth have seen God's appearance, welcomed the Lord Jesus' coming back and been taken before God. The Kingdom's Gate has been opened to every person who is seeking God's appearance. God's sheep hear God's voice. As long as you read Almighty God's word, you'll see God has appeared. All the people who sincerely long for God's appearance are welcome to seek and investigate!

Bible Verses for Reference:

And the serpent said to the woman, You shall not surely die: For God does know that in the day you eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and you shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also to her husband with her; and he did eat. … Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from from where he was taken (Gen 3:4-6, 23).

Relevant Words of God:

Those that do not belong to Me are against Me; those that belong to Me are those that are compatible with Me. This is completely without question, and this is the principle of My judgment of Satan. This principle should be known to everybody so that they can see My righteousness and justness—all those who come from Satan will be judged and burned and be turned into ashes. This is also My wrath, and one can further see My disposition.

from Utterances and Testimonies of Christ in the Beginning

And I, the entirety of the flesh, am even more so the complete manifestation of God. Whosoever dares not revere Me, whosoever dares show defiance in their eyes, whosoever dares speak words of defiance against Me will surely die from My curses and wrath (there will be cursing because of My wrath). And whosoever dares not be loyal or filial to Me, whosoever dares try to trick Me will surely die in My hatred.

from Utterances and Testimonies of Christ in the Beginning

Those who belong to Satan will be returned to Satan, while those who belong to God will surely go in search of the truth; this is determined by their natures. Let all those who follow Satan perish! No pity will be shown to these people. Let those who search for the truth attain provision and allow them to take pleasure in God’s word to their hearts’ content. God is righteous; He does not treat people unjustly.

…………

Because of their petty cleverness, those without discernment will come to ruin in the hands of evil people and they will be led astray by evil people and will be unable to return. These people should be handled in this way, as they do not love the truth, because they are incapable of standing on the side of the truth, because they follow evil people, they stand on the side of evil people, and because they collude with evil people and defy God. They know perfectly well that those evil people radiate evil but they harden their hearts and follow them, moving contrary to the truth. Are these people who do not practice the truth but who do destructive and abominable things not all doing evil? Although there are those among them who style themselves as kings and those who trail along behind, are their God-defying natures not all the same? What excuse can they have to say that God does not save them? What excuse can they have to say that God is not righteous? Is it not their own evil that will destroy them? Is it not their own rebelliousness that will drag them down into hell? Those who practice the truth will in the end be saved and made perfect through the truth. Those who do not practice the truth will in the end invite ruination through the truth. These are the ends that await those who practice the truth and those who do not.

from “A Warning to Those Who Do Not Practice the Truth” in The Word Appears in the Flesh

My concern continues to be the way in which each of you acts and expresses himself, on the basis of which I shall determine your end. However, I must make this clear: I will give no more mercy to those who gave Me no jot of loyalty in times of tribulation, for My mercy only extends so far. Furthermore, I have no liking for anyone who has once betrayed Me, much less do I like to associate with those who sell out the interests of their friends. This is My disposition, regardless of who the person may be. I must tell you this: Anyone who breaks My heart shall not receive clemency from Me a second time, and anyone who has been faithful to Me shall forever remain in My heart.

God’s Attitude Toward Those Who Run Away During His Work

You’ll find this kind of person everywhere: After they have been certain about God’s way, for various reasons, they depart silently and without a parting word to go off and do whatever their heart desires. For the time being, we won’t get into why this person leaves. First we’ll take a look at what God’s attitude is toward this kind of person. It’s very clear! From the moment this person leaves, in God’s eyes, the span of their belief is over. It’s not this person that ended it, but God. That this person left God means that they have already rejected God, that they already don’t want God. It means that they already don’t accept God’s salvation. Since this person doesn’t want God, can God still want them? Moreover, when this person has this attitude, this view, and is determined to leave God, they have already aggravated God’s disposition. Even though they didn’t fly into a rage and curse God, even though they didn’t engage in any vile or excessive behavior, and even though this person is thinking: If there comes a day when I’ve had my fill of fun on the outside, or when I still need God for something, I will come back. Or if God calls on me, I will come back. Or they say: When I am hurt on the outside, when I see that the outside world is too dark and too wicked and I no longer want to go with the flow, I will come back to God. Even though this person has calculated in their mind at what point they’re coming back, even though they leave the door open for their return, they don’t realize that no matter how they think and how they plan, this is all just wishful thinking. Their biggest mistake is being unclear about how God feels when they want to leave. Starting from that moment when this person determines to leave God, God has completely abandoned them; God has already established their outcome in His heart. What outcome is that? That this person is one of the hamsters, and will perish along with them. Thus, people often see this kind of situation: Someone abandons God, but they don’t receive a punishment. God operates according to His own principles. People are able to see some things, and some things are only concluded in God’s heart, so people cannot see the result. That which people see isn’t necessarily the true side of things; but the other side, the side you do not see—this is the true thoughts and conclusions of God’s heart.

People Who Run Away During God’s Work Are Those Who Abandon the True Way

So why can God give this kind of person such a serious punishment? Why is God so enraged toward them? First of all we know that God’s disposition is majesty, is wrath. He is not a sheep to be slaughtered by anyone; even more, He is not a puppet to be controlled by people however they want. He is also not empty air to be bossed around by people. If you really believe that God exists, you should have a heart that fears God, and you should know that God’s essence is not to be angered. This anger may be caused by a word; perhaps a thought; perhaps some kind of vile behavior; perhaps mild behavior, behavior that’s passable in the eyes and ethics of man; or perhaps it is caused by a doctrine, a theory. However, once you anger God, your opportunity is lost and your end days have arrived. This is a terrible thing! If you don’t understand that God cannot be offended, then maybe you aren’t afraid of God, and maybe you offend Him all the time. If you don’t know how to fear God, then you’re unable to fear God, and you don’t know how to put yourself on the path of walking in God’s way—fearing God and shunning evil. Once you become aware, you can be conscious that God cannot be offended, then you will know what it is to fear God and shun evil.

Walking in the way of fearing God and shunning evil isn’t necessarily about how much truth you know, how many trials you have experienced, or how much you have been disciplined. Rather, it depends on what the essence of your heart is with regard to God, and what your attitude toward God is. People’s essence and their subjective attitudes—these are very important, very key. With regard to those people who have renounced and left God, their contemptible attitude toward God and their hearts that despise the truth have aggravated God’s disposition, thus so far as God is concerned they will never be forgiven. They have known about God’s existence, they have had the information that God has already arrived, they have even experienced God’s new work. Their departure isn’t a case of being deluded, nor is it that they’re hazy about it. It’s even less a case of them being forced into it. Rather they have consciously, and with a clear mind, chosen to leave God. Their departure isn’t losing their way; it’s not their being cast off. Therefore, in God’s eyes, they are not a lamb who has strayed from the flock, let alone a prodigal son who lost his way. They departed with impunity, and such a condition, such a situation, aggravates God’s disposition, and it is out of this aggravation that He gives them a hopeless outcome. Is this kind of outcome not frightful? So if people don’t know God, they can offend God. This is no small matter! If someone doesn’t take God’s attitude seriously, and still believes that God is looking forward to their return—because they are one of God’s lost lambs and God is still waiting for them to have a change of heart—then this person is not that far removed from their day of punishment. God won’t just refuse to admit them. This is their second time aggravating His disposition; it’s an even more terrible matter! This person’s irreverent attitude has already offended God’s administrative decree. Will God still admit them? God’s principles regarding this matter are: If someone has been certain about the true way yet can still consciously and with a clear mind reject God, and distance themselves from God, then God will block off the road to their salvation, and the gate into the kingdom will henceforth be closed to them. When this person comes knocking once more, God will not open the door for them again. This person will be shut out forever. Perhaps some of you have read the story of Moses in the Bible. After Moses was anointed by God, the 250 leaders were dissatisfied with Moses because of his actions and other various reasons. Who did they refuse to obey? It wasn’t Moses. They refused to obey God’s arrangements; they refused to obey God’s work on this matter. They said the following: “You take too much on you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them….” In man’s eyes, are these words very serious? They’re not serious! At least the literal meaning of the words is not serious. In a legal sense, they don’t break any laws, because on their very surface it’s not hostile language, or vocabulary, much less has any blasphemous meaning. A common sentence is all there is, nothing more. Yet why is it that these words can trigger such rage from God? It’s because they are not spoken to people, but to God. The attitude and disposition expressed by them is precisely what aggravates God’s disposition, especially that of God’s disposition which cannot be offended. We all know what their outcome was in the end. Regarding those who abandoned God, what is their viewpoint? What is their attitude? And why does their viewpoint and attitude lead to God dealing with them in such a manner? The reason is that they clearly know He is God yet they still choose to betray Him. That is why they are totally stripped of their chance for salvation. Just like the Bible says: “For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins.” Are you clear on this matter now?

                      from “How to Know God’s Disposition and the Result of His Work” in Continuation of The Word Appears in the Flesh

The Man’s Fellowship:

Some people cannot accept the true way, they are always giving rise to notions, so much so that they are capable of betrayal. These kinds of people really do not have love for the truth. If these people want to walk away, then let them. Do not try to stop them. These are not people who love the truth. Today they are able to accept, but once they walk away, they will walk straight into hell. They are betrayers. They will be revealed, and nobody can stop them. The entrance to the house of God is open wide, come in and you will have to go through rigorous examining, and you will have to fill out an application. You are free to leave, to walk out on your own accord. But you will have to register, and afterward you will not be able to return. It’s easy to go out, but it’s difficult to come in. If you do return, since you have already committed a betrayal once before, whether or not you are admitted again will have to be based on the manner of God, it must be based on the word of God. In the future it will become more and more difficult to enter. Each and every person who comes in has to undergo rigorous examining. Going out becomes more and more easy. You can leave as you please. Regardless of who it is, regardless of how many years they’ve believed, all they need to say is “I don’t believe,” and it’s done, they need not say anything else, they can leave without delay, and afterward they will not be allowed to return. It will be very difficult to return. This is the kind of institution that the house of God is.

from Sermons and Fellowship on Entry Into Life, Volume 140

Some people come across rumors after they accept the work of God in the last days and then they stop believing, they retreat. For them, it is easy to believe, and it is easy to not believe. The entrance to the house of God is wide open. If you stop believing then you can leave at any time, but just the same, if you stop believing after you started, then this is the same as betraying God. If you betray God then a mark will be left upon your body, a mark showing that you have betrayed God. If you listen to a lot of Satan’s words and fully believe them, and you judge and condemn God, then another mark will be left upon your body showing that you believe the rumors of Satan and that you betrayed God, judged God and offended God’s disposition. After this, once the great catastrophe comes and you see that Almighty God is real and so you want to believe again, God will say I don’t want you and He will cast you aside. So, if anyone accepts the work of the Almighty God for a period of time but then goes on to forsake Him only to then write another application letter to try to re-join the church, it will not be endorsed by God’s family.

from Sermons and Fellowship on Entry Into Life, Volume 143

If man accepts and internalizes Satan’s fallacies, rumors, and lies, then what is the problem? What will the consequences be? People who accept Satan’s fallacies and lies accept Satan’s false words, and they have been corrupted by Satan again. The point when man can accept Satan’s lies is the point when he belongs to Satan. In God’s eyes he already belongs to Satan. Then, he develops notions, viewpoints, actions, and behaviors of resisting God. Look at Adam and Eve. After being seduced by Satan and eating the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, what happened immediately afterward? They betrayed God. Then what did God say to Adam and Eve? They were driven out of the Garden of Eden, and God was no longer with them. Right? Then why was God so severe to Adam and Eve? Because they offended God’s disposition. They didn’t listen to God; it wasn’t that God did not inform them. God told them not to eat the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, “For in the day that you eat thereof you shall surely die.” They defied God’s words and did not stay true to God’s words, so they were driven out of the Garden of Eden. That was how severe the consequence was. Is accepting Satan’s suggestions a game? You all know that it’s not. To God, it was already a betrayal, and so they did not have God with them after that. God hated them. That was how severe things were. So, now that you have accepted Almighty God, if you still believe in Satan’s lies and accept its rumors, then although you have not yet left God’s church, from God’s perspective you have already betrayed Him and He is already no longer with you. If you come across these rumors and fallacies of Satan, you should pray immediately: “God, You enlighten me and illuminate me. You protect me so I can refuse and abandon Satan, and deny it forever. I do not accept Satan’s lies and fallacies. Let it be gone!” This is fine. It proves you have stood witness, and were not defeated by Satan’s temptation. You see that some people accept Satan’s rumors and errors, and in their hearts they begin to suspect God. As soon as they suspect, from God’s perspective, they have already betrayed Him. “I don’t want them, I don’t have them, I won’t save them.” Isn’t the problem so severe? Do you believe that this is truth? You all believe this is the truth.

from Sermons and Fellowship on Entry Into Life, Volume 142

Some people are accustomed to listening to Satan’s words. What happens when they listen to Satan? When the true God comes, you miss Him. When the true God comes, you do not accept. What is the consequence for not accepting? The consequence of not believing in God is annihilation and death! What is the work of God in the last days? First of all, God will make perfect a group of people, then save another group of people, and finally destroy mankind. There are only three things. The first thing is to make perfect a group of people before the catastrophe. The second thing is to refine some people and save some people. The third thing is to destroy all the species of Satan with the catastrophe. What does it mean by destroying all the species of Satan? How large is the scope of Satan’s species? God says, “… except for those now within the stream, the rest will be turned to ashes” (“The Twenty-sixth Utterance” of God’s Utterances to the Entire Universe in The Word Appears in the Flesh). That is, in the last phase of the catastrophe, all those who have not accepted the work of Almighty God will all die. Understand? Now that we can clearly see, if man listens to Satan’s rumors and nonsense, denies God’s work and refuses God’s work, what will be his outcome? He will be destroyed and turned to ashes! Now we can also be certain about a word: Those who listen to the rumors of the great red dragon and rumors of the religious circle will be destroyed by God in the end. Why will these people be destroyed? They have not accepted the work of Almighty God. What is the reason for not accepting? They are confused and trussed up by Satan. They haven’t accepted the true way, haven’t come to God, so they are destroyed by God in the end. So, outwardly, this matter appears to be very simple. “This person accepted. That person didn’t accept.” “Why did he not accept?” “He listened to negative propaganda, and so didn’t accept.” Can he still be alive without accepting? What is the consequence of not accepting? It is death and annihilation. So someone told me, “Some people fell for Satan’s rumors and tricks. They don’t believe any more.” I said, “Oh, they will perish. It is called ‘good advice cannot turn around the hell-bound fools.’” So, the consequence of listening to Satan’s rumors and nonsense is death. Isn’t it what this is all about?

from Sermons and Fellowship on Entry Into Life, Volume 142

If one day you are suspicious about God because of one of Satan’s lies, then in the very end, you will be sent to hell. In hell, you will be burned forever. Insects will bite you continuously. At that moment, you will say, “God, save me. God, save me!” God will say, “Do you believe in Me? You never believed me before. Why should I save you? My words have already been spoken. Those who do not believe in Me will be wiped out in hell. All who do not believe in Me must perish. What qualifies you to shout at Me to save you if you did not believe in Me? Did I tell you not to believe?” Why do you not believe? Do you not believe because of one of Satan’s lies? Go look for Satan. Why did you listen to Satan’s words? Do you believe what it says? Why do you not believe in God? You are the cause of your own narrowmindedness. You have tricked yourself. Did Satan bind your hands and feet? It told you one lie and you listened? You deserve to be punished for your sins. Who can you blame if you do not know God? Isn’t this the case? All those who listen to Satan’s lies, doubt God and abandon God will meet with retribution in the very end. At that time, would you still dare call out to God for salvation? Would God answer you? Whatever you say to God would be useless. God is God. The truth is the truth. Nobody can change the fact that God has accomplished.

from Sermons and Fellowship on Entry Into Life, Volume 142

The great red dragon is over there making up rumors about God and saying blasphemous words, and some people believe these words. After they believe, they develop notions about God. Tell me, what does God think of such people? God says, “You are also a devil. You are not a person to be saved. You will be destroyed like the great red dragon.” So it can be said that in such matters, you do not have a God-revering heart at all and you still want to have a hold on God. You are seeking death! You always find fault with this or that about God’s work. You go find fault then. You will be dead before you’ve finished. When you are finding faults, you are doomed and the Holy Spirit will give up on you. God says, “I hate you. I detest you” and you are done! Needless to say if you find fault for several years more, as soon as you find fault there, your heart will be condemned by God. This is God’s disposition which cannot be offended! So what are those rumors and lies of the great red dragon? I will tell you the truth. That is to put a clip or electrified power netting on some people, and as soon as they touch it, as soon as they believe, they will die. If you dare offend God then that is courting death! That’s how it is.
