I

Throughout the universe I am doing My work, and in the East, thunderous booming issues forth endlessly, shaking all nations and denominations. It is My utterances that have led all men to the present day. I cause all men to be conquered by My utterances, to fall into this stream, and to surrender before Me, for I have long since withdrawn My glory from all the earth and issued it forth anew in the East. Who does not long to see My glory? Who does not anxiously look forward to My return? Who does not thirst for My reappearance? Who does not pine for My loveliness? Who would not come to the light? Who would not behold the richness of Canaan? Who does not long for the return of the Redeemer? Who does not admire Him who possesses great power?

II

My utterances shall be propagated throughout the earth; I will utter and speak words more to My chosen people, like mighty thunder shaking the mountains and rivers. I speak My words to the whole universe and to mankind. Hence the words from My mouth have become man’s treasure, and all men cherish My words. The lightning flashes from the East all the way to the West. My words are such that man is loath to part with them, and they are also unfathomable to man, and even more so they cause man to feel joy. Like newborn infants, all men feel glad and joyful, and celebrate My coming. By means of My utterances, I shall bring all men before Me. Thenceforth, I shall formally enter into the midst of men, and make it so that they will come to pay homage to Me. With the glory that I radiate and the words from My mouth, I shall make it such that all men come before Me, and see that the lightning flashes from the East.

All men will see that I have descended unto the “Mount of Olives” of the East, and have long since come to earth, and that I am no longer the Son of Jews, but the Lightning of the East. For I have long since been resurrected, and have departed from mankind’s midst, and then reappeared with glory among men. I am He who was worshiped countless ages before now, and I am also the infant that was forsaken by the Israelites countless ages before now. Even more so, I am the all-glorious Almighty God of the present age! Let all come before My throne and see My glorious countenance, hear My utterances, and behold My deeds. This is the entirety of My intention; it is the end and the climax of My plan, as well as the purpose of My management: to have the myriad nations pay homage to Me, the myriad mouths acknowledge Me, the myriad people put their trust in Me, and the myriad of My chosen people surrender to Me!
