God’s Words to the Entire Universe—Chapter 26
Who has abided in My home? Who has stood up for My sake? Who has suffered on My behalf? Who has pledged his word before Me? Who has followed Me to the present and yet has not become indifferent? Why are all human beings cold and unfeeling? Why has mankind abandoned Me? Why does humanity feel averse toward Me? Why is there no warmth in the human world? While in Zion, I have tasted the warmth that is in heaven, and while in Zion I have enjoyed the blessing that is in heaven. Again, I have lived in mankind’s midst, I have tasted the bitterness of the human world, and I have seen with My own eyes all the different states that exist amongst men. Unawares, man has changed as I have “changed,” and only in this way has he arrived at the present day. I do not require that man be able to do anything for My sake, nor do I require that he make any increase on My account. I only want him to be able to act in accordance with My plan, and not to rebel against Me or be a mark of shame to Me, but to bear resounding witness unto Me. Among men, there have been those who have borne Me good witness and glorified My name, but how can man’s practices or conduct possibly satisfy My heart? How can he possibly align with My heart or satisfy My intentions? Of the mountains and waters on the earth, and of the flowers, grasses, and trees on the earth, all show the work of My hands, all exist for My name. Yet why can man not achieve the standard of My demand? Could this be due to his abject lowliness? Could it be due to My exaltation of him? Could it be that I am too cruel to him? Why is man always fearful of My demands? Today, among the multitudes in the kingdom, why is it you only listen to My voice but do not wish to see My face? Why do you look only at My words without matching them to My Spirit? Why do you separate Me so, to heaven and to earth? Could it be that I, when on earth, am not the same as I am in heaven? Could it be that I, when in heaven, cannot come down to the earth? Could it be that I, when on earth, am unworthy to be borne up to heaven? It is as though I, when on earth, am a lowly creature, as though I, when in heaven, am an exalted being, and as though there lies between heaven and earth an unbridgeable chasm. Yet in the world of man they seem to know nothing of the origins of these things, but have been running always against Me, as though My words have only sound and no meaning. All mankind spends effort on My words, undertaking investigations of their own into My outward semblance, but they all meet with failure, their efforts bearing no fruit, and instead are struck down by My words and dare not get up again.
When I try people’s faith, not one human being bears true witness, not one is capable of offering his all; rather, man continues to hide and refuses to open himself, as if I were going to ravish his heart. Even Job never truly stood firm during his trial, nor did he emanate sweetness in the midst of suffering. All people produce a faint hint of green in the warmth of springtime; they never stay green in the cold blasts of winter. With his bony and emaciated stature, man cannot meet My intentions. In all of humanity, there is no one who can serve as a model for others, because all men are basically alike and are no different from each other, with little to distinguish them one from another. For this reason, even today men are still unable to know My works fully. Only when My chastisement descends on all mankind will they, unbeknownst to themselves, become aware of My works, and without My doing anything or compelling anyone, man will come to know Me, and thereby witness My works. This is My plan, it is the aspect of My works that is made manifest, and it is what man should know. In the kingdom, the myriad things of creation begin to revive and regain their life force. Due to changes in the state of the earth, the boundaries between one land and another also begin to shift. I have prophesied that when land is divided from land, and land unites with land, this will be the time I will smash all nations to pieces. At this time, I will renew all of creation and repartition the entire universe, thereby putting the universe in order and transforming the old into the new—this is My plan and these are My works. When the nations and the peoples of the world all return before My throne, I will then take all the bounty of heaven and confer it upon the human world, so that, thanks to Me, that world will brim with matchless bounty. But while the old world exists, I will hurl forth My rage upon its nations, openly promulgate My administrative decrees throughout the universe, and visit chastisement upon whosoever 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 set themselves against My intentions, that is to say, who oppose Me with the deeds of man, will fall under My chastisement. I will take the multitudinous stars in the heavens and make them anew and, thanks to Me, the sun and the moon will be renewed—the skies will no longer be as they were and the myriad things on the earth will be renewed. All will become complete through My words. The many nations within the universe will be partitioned afresh and replaced by My kingdom, so that the nations upon the earth will disappear forever and all will become a kingdom that worships Me; all the nations of the earth will be destroyed and cease to exist. Of the human beings within the universe, all those belonging to the devil will be exterminated, and all who worship Satan will be laid low by My burning fire—that is, except for those now within the stream, all will be turned to ashes. When I chastise the many peoples, those in the religious world will, to varying extents, 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 people will be separated according to their own kind, and will receive various chastisements commensurate with their actions. All those who have stood against Me will perish; as for those whose deeds on 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, and with My own voice, I will sound forth upon the earth, proclaiming the completion of My great work for all mankind to see with their own eyes.
As My utterances grow more profound, I also observe the state of the universe. Through My words, all things are made new. Heaven changes, as does the earth. Humanity is exposed in its original form and, slowly, people are all separated according to their kind, and are unknowingly returned to their “families.” This pleases Me greatly. I am free from disturbance and, imperceptibly, My great work is accomplished, and all things are transformed. When I created the world, I separated all things according to their kind, categorizing all things that had form. When the end of My management plan draws near, I will restore the former state of creation; I will restore everything to the way it originally was, thoroughly changing everything, and make everything fall within My plan. The time has come! The last stage of My plan is about to be completed. Ah, unclean old world! It shall surely fall amid My words! It shall surely be reduced to nothingness by My plan! Ah, all things! They will all gain new life amid My words—they shall have their Sovereign! Ah, sanctified and unblemished new world! It shall surely revive amid My glory! Ah, Mount Zion! Be silent no more—I have returned in triumph! I observe the whole earth in the midst of all things. The people on earth have begun a new life and have new hopes. Ah, My people! How can you not come back to life amid My light? How can you not jump for joy under My guidance? The lands are shouting in jubilation, the waters are raucous with gleeful laughter! Ah, the resurrected Israel! How can you not feel pride on account of My predestination? Who has wept? Who has wailed? The Israel of old has ceased to be, and today’s Israel has risen up, erect and towering in the world, and has stood up in the hearts of all humanity. Today’s Israel shall surely attain the foundation for existence through My people! Ah, hateful Egypt! Surely you do not still resist Me? How can you take advantage of My mercy and try to escape My chastisement? How can you not live within My chastisement? All those I love will surely exist for eternity, and all those who resist Me will surely be chastised by Me for eternity. For I am a jealous God and will not lightly spare all men for everything that they have done. I will scrutinize the whole earth and, appearing in the East of the world with righteousness, majesty, wrath, and chastisement, I shall reveal Myself to the myriad people!
