1. Guo XX, male, aged 54, from Neixiang County, an elder of the Praise Church. In July 1998, when the end-time work of Almighty God was spread to Neixiang County, he spared no effort to resist it, and he took away from a sister a book of God’s word. On October 16, when the sister went to ask him for the book, it happened that he was having a meeting with more than forty of his co-workers. On seeing the sister, he took up the book of God’s word and condemned recklessly, “The words in this book are all heresies and evil spirits.” While saying this, he opened the book and raised it to let the sister see. The sister saw that there were many circles marked in the book and on each circle there was a “×”, and in some places this word was written: “I bind these words in the name of Jesus.” Holding the book, he said, “Such a book will be destroyed once it falls into my hand. No believer in Jesus is allowed to read it.” After saying this, he forced the sister down on her knees and shouted, “In the name of Jesus, I bind the evil spirit, the heretic….” His blasphemous words were intolerable to the ear. He also burned the book before all the people, and confined the sister in a room. After that, he sent all the co-workers to different places to seal the churches. One month later, Guo’s tracheitis recurred, and he had great difficulty in breathing and could not take food. On December 7, he met his death. This devil was finally cursed and died.

2. Wang X, male, aged 67, from Dengzhou City, a junior leader of the Local Church. In April 2000, someone preached to him God’s end-time work. After he heard it, because God’s work did not fit his notions, he concluded, “This way is not true! If it is true, let me receive punishment within one year.” Three months later, Wang really received retribution. He suddenly had a stroke and became hemiplegic. Now he depends on a wheelchair to move around. The punishment has come upon him, and his oath has been fulfilled. Is this way true or not? We wonder if he has come to a conclusion and made a choice?

3. Feng XX, female, aged 53, from Panhe Township in Lushi County, a junior leader of the Justification by Faith Church. In June 1997, when her eldest sister preached God’s end-time salvation to her, she pretended to accept it and got a book of God’s word, and then she burned the book. At the beginning of 1998, her nephew’s wife went to fellowship with her in detail about God’s work, but she said recklessly, “I burned the book last July, but God has not done anything to me!” On the fifth day after she said this, when she was watering the cattle in the yard, she suddenly fell unconscious to the ground. She was hospitalized for 10 days, but did not get any better. After she was taken back home, the people of her church went to pray for her, but her condition still did not improve. On March 2, 1998, Feng’s condition suddenly worsened. She clawed and scratched at the bed madly, being in extreme agony, and then she vomited blood and died. When she died, her face was too horrible to look at.

4. Li X, female, aged 55, from Lingtou Township in Ruzhou City, a believer of the Catholic Church, whose family was a well-known host family. In November 1998, when she heard that two sisters of her church had accepted God’s end-time work, she went to disturb them and forced them to forsake the true way. Not long after that, Li got uterine cancer. But she did not realize the cause of her disease. On February 3, 2000, she learned that a priest of the Catholic Church had accepted God’s end-time work, so when the priest went back to her village with a brother to fetch his belongings, she confined them. Some brothers and sisters went to look for them, but some people, led by Li, guarded all the entrances to the village, not allowing the brothers and sisters to enter into it, and she asked them for the 13 nuns (who had accepted God’s end-time work) in exchange for the priest and the brother. Two days later, Li’s uterine cancer suddenly deteriorated, her vagina bleeding and discharging rotten flesh…. Later, all her hair fell out. She was hospitalized, but the treatment was ineffective and she died on July 21, 2001. When she died, her mouth was open, and her face looked ferocious. At the time when the people were putting her body into the coffin, a thunderbolt suddenly came from the sky, and it flashed around in front of the funeral shed like a fiery dragon. All the people there thought it strange and talked about it, saying that it was an unusual thing. This was enough to show that her evil deeds had offended God’s wrath.

5. Lü XX, female, aged 51, from Zhengzhou City, a worker of the Local Church. In 1998, someone preached God’s end-time work to her, but she refused to accept it. In August 1999, she said in a meeting, “Witness Lee is the true way, and ‘the Eastern Lightning’ is a false way. If Witness Lee is false, and ‘the Eastern Lightning’ is true, let me die within one year.” On January 2, 2000, Lü was thrown out of the vehicle on her way to the meeting, and she died that day. She really died within one year!

6. Zhao XX, male, aged 60, from Lankao County, a ringleader of the Hua Xuehe sect. When some brothers and sisters preached to him the end-time work of Almighty God, he not only refused to accept but even condemned and slandered it, and he also declared, “I would rather fall headlong and die than believe in the way of Almighty God.” Besides, he hindered the people under him from accepting the true way. On the early morning of January 15, 2001, when Zhao went to have his wheat ground in a three-wheeler, he accidentally fell headlong from it and never woke up again. He really fell headlong and died!

7. Sun XX, female, aged 38, from Dengfeng City, an ordinary believer of the Local Church. In 1998, the brothers and sisters preached God’s end-time work to her many times. However, she not only refused to accept it herself, but she even spread rumors everywhere to disturb and hinder others from accepting the true way. Later, when a sister preached God’s end-time work to her once again, she hurled abuse at her, “You are cheeky! I have believed in God, but you still preach to me. You come to disturb me everyday. Just see how God will punish you in the future! The one you believe in is an evil spirit, a false christ, satan, the devil, a heresy, and is a deceiver!” The sister said, “The One we believe in is the true God. You can’t speak recklessly.” “I have said it. I will see what your God can do to me!” she retorted. On the evening of December 26, 1999, Sun went home from Changge in a three-wheeler driven by her husband. When they passed through Yuzhou, Sun was caught away by a big oncoming vehicle. When her husband found her, he saw that her internal organs and the pieces of her flesh were scattered all over the ground. Truly, whoever blasphemes God will surely suffer retribution!

8. Fan XX, male, aged 57, from Shibali Township in Weishi County, a preacher of the Praise Church. In the winter of 1999, someone preached God’s end-time work to him, but he refused to accept it, and he also spoke many words of condemning and blaspheming God and insulted and slandered the gospel preacher. Later, someone else went to his house to fellowship with him about God’s end-time work again. But instead of listening to it, he threatened to go to the central government to report the gospel preachers, and he said that he would strike an egg against the stone and that he did not fear death. On November 7, 2000, Fan suddenly fell to the ground, and he had been bedridden ever since. On March 17, 2001, he breathed out his life.

9. Yuan XX, male, aged 47, from Zhangdian Township in Lushan County, a senior leader of the Local Church. From 1994 to 1999, he had been frenziedly disturbing and hindering the spread of God’s end-time gospel in the area of Lushan County. On January 11, 1999, Yuan twice went with some people to disturb a sister who had just accepted Almighty God, and he pointed at God’s word and blasphemed, “This is spoken by the devil satan!” In November 1999, a young sister who preached the gospel went to the home of a sister who had just accepted Almighty God. After he found that, he immediately took some people and rushed to the sister’s home. He ordered the people to lock the young sister in a room and not to give her food, and they also snatched away the young sister’s red woolen overcoat. After that, Yuan went to his relative who worked in the local police station and falsely accused the young sister of trading human beings, and then he forcibly took the young sister to the local police station. At Yuan’s instigation, the police tortured the young sister greatly. On January 18, 2000, when Yuan was having a co-workers’ meeting, he was attacked by an acute disease and collapsed on the floor. Before arriving at the hospital, he breathed out his life! This out-and-out antichrist was finally struck down by God.

10. Zhang XX, male, aged 59, from Songxian County, a leader of the Justification by Faith Church. In 1995, someone preached to him God’s end-time work and gave him a book of God’s word to read. After reading it, he refused to accept it and even condemned and blasphemed it, saying, “It is the word and experience of an insane person.” Not long after this, Zhang got throat cancer. He spent more than 20,000 yuan, but it was not cured. On August 22, 1997, he went to the netherworld.

11. Fan XX, male, aged 44, from Gushi County in Xinyang City, formerly a worker in the Local Church. In February 1995, someone preached to him the end-time gospel of Almighty God and gave him a book, but he did not accept and even drove the gospel preacher away. He told the brothers and sisters under him, “What the people of ‘the Eastern Lightning’ preach is a heresy, a cult. Don’t hear their message; once you hear, you will be deceived.” Being hindered by him, the brothers and sisters could not accept the true way all along. On July 12, 1996, Fan’s wife drank pesticide and died as a result of having a quarrel with her daughter-in-law. Fan himself had a slipped lumbar intervertebral disk. He suffered unbearable pain and had to rely on medicine to relieve the pain, and was unable to do any heavy work. In January 2002, when someone else preached to him the work of Almighty God again, he was very remorseful about his past resistance to God. After he accepted Almighty God, he preached Almighty God to more than ten brothers and sisters under him.

12. Wu X, female, aged 34, from Zhumadian City, a believer of the Local Church. In March 2001, the end-time salvation of Almighty God came to her, but instead of accepting it, she spoke many words of condemnation and resistance: “It is the deception of a false christ, a false prophet. You must not believe in it. Turn back quickly! Whoever does not turn back is one to be cast into the lake of fire…. Even if what you preach is the truth, I will not accept it!” Later, someone else preached the gospel to her again, but she said, “Don’t preach to me anymore. If it is the true way, how could I haven’t been punished for burning your book?” Not long after that, Wu always felt there were sounds of beating drums and striking gongs in her house, which continued day and night. She was afraid, so she went to live with her sister-in-law. She had her own home but did not dare to go back. In May of that year, she hanged herself. Because of resisting God, she was delivered into satan’s hand and came to such an end.

13. Zhao XX, female, aged 37, from Shangcai County, a believer of the True Jesus Church. In July 1999, God’s end-time salvation came to her, but instead of accepting it, she shouted madly at the gospel preacher, and she also spoke arrogantly, “Even if it is the true way, I will not accept it.” After that, she spread rumors everywhere to disturb and slander God’s work. Soon after, Zhao fell sick, and on November 15, she was hospitalized. During her hospitalization, Zhao was possessed by a demon. She stuck out her tongue and barked like a dog. She showed all sorts of strange behaviors. And one night she became unconscious nine times. On November 21, her short life ended. When she died, her eyes were wide open and her tongue lolled, which was bloodcurdling. This unreasonable shrew was cursed for resisting God!

14. Zeng XX, male, aged 57, from Shihe District in Xinyang City, a mid-level leader of the Praise Church. In April 1999, when someone testified to him the end-time work of Almighty God, he acknowledged that it was the true way, and was willing to accept it and read God’s word. But after he got home, he denied and forsook the true way because of being threatened by his wife and disturbed by the people of his Church. When the gospel preacher went to testify Almighty God to him again, he rebuked the gospel preacher, saying, “I was deceived into accepting Almighty God before. What you believe in is absolutely false and is a heresy, a cult. I would rather die than believe in your God.” Later, he was admonished many times, but he still refused to repent and even went to the meeting places everywhere to intimidate the brothers and sisters, saying, “You are not allowed to hear others’ preachings. If anyone does not listen, I will not come to shepherd you anymore.” In the fall of 2000, Zeng felt unwell. In March 2001, his condition became worse, and he was diagnosed as having stomach cancer. He was hospitalized and spent more than 7,000 yuan. During his hospitalization, someone else preached Almighty God to him once again, but he said, “I would rather die than believe in your God.” After that, his illness became more and more serious, and he vomited up anything that he ate and drank. His fat body was eventually reduced to mere skin and bones. On July 15, 2002, Zeng vomited blood and died. He finally fulfilled his oath—“I would rather die than believe.”

15. Li XX, female, aged 49, from Tanghe County, a junior leader of the Praise Church. In 1998, the brothers and sisters preached the end-time work of Almighty God to her many times, but because God’s work did not fit her imagination, she wantonly blasphemed and condemned it. In the end she even said, “If the one you preach is the true God, how could your God have not done anything to me for my resisting him so greatly?” In October 1998, Li got liver cancer, and she suffered unbearable pain in her abdomen. She received treatment, but it had no effect, and she died on November 28, 1998. She tested God with her life but never expected that she would forfeit it.

16. Liu XX, female, aged 48, from Dengzhou City, a believer of the Born Again Church. In February 1999, some people preached God’s end-time work to her, but she refused to accept it. In March, they preached to her again, but she said, “What you believe in is a false way, a cult. I only believe in Jesus. Even if I have to die, I would rather die in our church.” Two months later, Liu got uterine cancer. After chemotherapy, she lost all her hair. In the fall of 1999, some brothers and sisters preached God’s end-time salvation to her once again, but she still resisted and condemned it. After that, her internal organs began to ulcerate, and the pain was unbearable. She received treatment, but it had no effect. The people of her church prayed for her, but that was also useless. Liu was bedridden for four months and suffered extremely. On September 11, 2000, she died. She finally fulfilled her oath that she “would rather die than believe in Almighty God.”

17. Ding XX, male, aged 31, from Tongxu County in Kaifeng City, a believer of the Sabbath Church. In 2000, someone preached the end-time work of Almighty God to him many times, but he refused to accept it and even said, “God will never be incarnated the second time. I can by no means believe it.” In July 2001, when God’s end-time work was preached to him once again, he still rejected it, and he also said, “Unless I see God’s punishment with my own eyes, I will not believe in it even if you preach to me two hundred times.” In less than twenty days after he said this, when Ding and his wife drove out to sell watermelons, his wife fell from the vehicle. On the second day after she was sent to the hospital, she died. The punishment he had wished to see was fulfilled by God!

18. Li X, female, aged 52, from Yangzhuang Town in Baofeng County, a junior leader of the Justification by Faith Church. Since God’s end-time gospel spread to Baofeng County, the end-time work of Almighty God had been preached to her more than ten times altogether. But she always refused to accept it and even concluded arbitrarily, “God will never be incarnated.” In December 1998, when someone else went to preach to her once again, she said, “God has come back? I would rather die than believe it!” On that afternoon, Li bled from her nose and mouth. She was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, but failed to respond and died. This disbeliever was eliminated!

19. Li XX, male, aged 57, from Luyi County, a ringleader of the Hua Xuehe sect. In November 1999, someone preached to him the end-time work of Almighty God, but he said, “Even if this is the true way, I won’t accept it. Even if Hua Xuehe is false, I will still be willing to die with him.” He not only refused to accept the true way himself, but also sealed all the meeting places, not allowing others to accept Almighty God. On August 16, 2000, when Li was preaching in a meeting, he suddenly collapsed in the pulpit and could not speak. He was sent to the hospital, but no illness was found after an examination. On August 21, Li stepped upon the path to the netherworld.

20. Chen X, female, aged 60, from Zhongtou Township of Jiaxian County in Pingdingshan City, a junior leader of the Praise Church. In 1999, someone preached God’s end-time gospel to her, but she hurled abuse at the gospel preacher and had her two daughters drive the gospel preacher away. In early May of 2001, when someone else went to preach the gospel of Almighty God to her again, her attitude was even worse than before, and she violently condemned, blasphemed, and slandered. The gospel preacher admonished her, saying, “Sister, you can treat me in whatever way you like, but you should never resist God. You cannot bear the sin of resisting God.” She said, “I will fully bear the sin of resisting God!” Not long after she said this, Chen’s icterohepatitis recurred, and she also suffered unbearable pain in her lower back. Upon examination at the hospital, it was found that she also had cholecystitis and needed an operation. But after her abdomen was cut open, she was found to have liver cancer and lung cancer, which were already beyond cure. On May 25, 2001, Chen went to the netherworld. This devil was cut off!

21. Ding X, female, aged 53, from Wangping Township in Ruyang County, a junior leader of the Born Again Church. In 1992, she heard about the work of Almighty God. In the spring of 1993, someone testified Almighty God to her, but she refused to accept it. She even condemned in preaching, saying, “This is the little horn of the ten horns mentioned in Revelation. It is a sting. Once it touches you, you will be in serious trouble. Once it strikes you, you will hurt for five months. Don’t accept or believe in it. It is a heresy and an evil spirit. It is the spirit of an antichrist.” She also eavesdropped on the meetings of the Church of Almighty God, and framed and slandered the Church of Almighty God with words offensive to the ear. And she bitterly hated the believers in Almighty God. She not only sealed and controlled the people in her church but also threatened the people in the Three-Self sect, not allowing them to accept the end-time work of Almighty God. Because of her betrayal, the Three-Self sect reported those who had accepted Almighty God to the United Front Work Department. One afternoon of September, 1993, it rained heavily. For fear that her flat-roofed house would leak, Ding went up onto the roof to drain the rainwater. In the evening, her daughter could not find her, and finally she climbed up onto the roof and saw Ding lying face up, already dead there. The next day, Ding’s abdomen swelled, and her wrists and ankles turned black. By evening, her abdomen became swollen like a drum, and it also rumbled. Her son was so frightened that he ran outside and did not dare to approach her.

Ding’s husband, Zeng XX, aged 57, a leader of the Born Again Church. Before Ding died, Zeng blasphemed God and condemned God’s work together with Ding. He said, “It is an evil spirit, and is apostate and deceiving.” He also said, “This kind of spirit is very powerful. Once it enters into you, it cannot be dug out.” This made the people so terrified that they all did not dare to accept Almighty God. Besides, he cursed the Church of Almighty God in his prayer in every meeting. After his wife died, he not only did not wake up, but even became fiercer. In February 1995, someone went to preach the gospel to him again and gave him a book of God’s word, but he rejected the gospel and threw the book onto the roof of his house. After that, he went everywhere to seal every meeting place as before, and he blasphemed even more horribly. In May 1995, Zeng got high blood pressure. He was hospitalized but the treatment was ineffective, and his condition got worse and worse. Later, he could not think clearly and lost his mind, having no sense of shame. His genital ulcerated and oozed pus and fluid, which made his clothes very dirty and look revolting. One day in the winter of 1995, his son prepared some water for him to clean his genital. But just as the hot water was poured into the basin, he put his feet in, and had them scalded. Later, they festered and were unable to move. In January 1996, he went to meet his wife. As this couple died unusual deaths, the people of their church said that they died of great sins.

22. Zhu XX, male, aged 63, from Jiuxian Township of Yexian County in Pingdingshan City, a leader of the Local Church. In 1995, some brothers and sisters preached the end-time work of Almighty God to him, but because God’s work did not fit his notions, he condemned it and burned the book of God’s word. Soon after that, Zhu’s 22-year-old younger daughter died by drinking pesticide; a year later, his elder daughter who was over 30 years old also died by drinking poison; and Zhu’s chronic pulmonary emphysema worsened. However, he still remained unrepentant and continued slandering and blaspheming God’s work. In August 1997, Zhu’s condition deteriorated and died after failing to respond to treatment. On October 28, 1997, Zhu’s young son, who worked away from home, got an electric shock and died. Of his family members, only his wife is still alive. But now she has remarried, and she does not believe in God any more but starts to burn incense and worship false gods again. Because of condemning God’s work and burning the book of God’s word, Zhu was cursed and ended up with his family being ruined.

23. Zhang XX, female, aged 48, from Zhumadian City, a leader of the Local Church. In October 1998, when someone went to preach God’s end-time work to her, she said, “Have you accepted ‘the Eastern Lightning’? If I meet a believer in ‘the Eastern Lightning,’ I will ask him, ‘Since God has come, where is he?’ With each asking, I will make a cut in him with a knife.” Then she said, “A few days ago, someone came to our church to preach the belief in Almighty God. It was I who had some people take knives and clubs to chase her. We caught her and were going to send her to the police station. If the neighbors (unbelievers) around us had not come to her rescue, we would have beaten her to death!” Zhang resisted God’s end-time work fiercely. Whenever she heard that some people had accepted God’s end-time work, she would disturb them from house to house, saying, “You have gone astray. You are deceived and poisoned. …” Because Zhang resisted God’s end-time work so ferociously and viciously, she received her deserved punishment. In April 2000, Zhang had a heart attack, and she went to Shanghai to have a heart transplant operation. Because the operation failed, Zhang died on the operating table. This devil that resisted God was cut off!

24. Chen XX, male, aged 67, from Xinye County, a worker of the Local Church. On November 24, 1999, when Chen learned that several brothers and sisters in his church had accepted the end-time salvation of Almighty God, he vehemently sealed the church and condemned by saying, “They are absolute heretics. None of you shall contact them.” Besides, he went to the homes of the brothers and sisters who had accepted the true way and incited their family members to persecute them and hinder them from believing in Almighty God. One day in December 1999, Chen found his nephew’s wife reading God’s word at a sister’s home in a neighboring village. He then told his nephew about that. His nephew bound his wife’s hands and gave her a brutal beating. One day in February 2000, about 12 o’clock at night, Chen took some people of his church and went to the home of a sister who had just accepted God’s end-time work to make trouble. He shouted loudly at the sister who preached the gospel, “You are leading my lamb away; I’ll have to beat you!” As he spoke, he stepped forward to beat the sister. He also said to the people of his church present, “They are absolutely from a demon. If they give you any book, throw it into the toilet.” In September 2000, Chen got sick, and after a doctor’s examination, he was found to have cerebral thrombosis. From then on, he was hemiplegic. His tongue stiffened and his speech was inarticulate, and he could not take care of himself in daily life. In December 2000, he breathed his last. This wicked servant resisted the incarnated God, and he was a typical antichrist. So, how could he escape God’s punishment?!

25. Mo XX, female, aged 28, from Lushi County, a worker of the Justification by Faith Church. When someone went to preach God’s end-time work to her, she did not accept it. Instead, she went to her leader and discussed with him how to resist it, and she also burned the book of God’s word given to her. Not long afterward, when the gospel preacher fellowshipped with her again, she pretended that she was regretful about burning the book and said that she was willing to accept God’s end-time work. But later, she again discussed with the wicked servant and continued her resistance. He did so four times in succession. This woman was irredeemable! On July 26, 1999, in a traffic accident, Mo’s second aunt and her younger sister fell dead on the spot, and she herself broke her pelvis and buttocks, and no part of her body was left intact. During the treatment, she suffered extremely, and moreover, her husband abandoned her, leaving her alone and helpless. This fulfilled the words in the Bible: The crookedness of the treacherous will destroy them, and the house of the wicked will be overthrown.

26. Lü XX, male, aged 71, from Shangshui County, a preacher and an accountant of the Three-Self sect. At the end of September 2000, when someone preached to him the end-time work of Almighty God, he was very aggressive, and he wildly condemned and blasphemed God’s work. He also said, “Any belief that is not protected by the country is not genuine, and it is of the devil.” Not long after he said this, that is, on February 4, 2001 (during the Chinese New Year), Lü went to help build a meetinghouse, but unexpectedly, the meetinghouse collapsed, and he was crushed to death. Judging from Lü’s words, he was appointed by the Communist Party. Because his rice bowl was bestowed by the Communist Party, of course he had to work for the Communist Party. So, he was a genuine devil protected by the Communist Party.

27. Xing XX, female, aged 28, from Zhongyuan Oil Field in Puyang City, a leader of the Way of Life Church. In late February 1995, someone gave her two books of Almighty God’s word expressed in the Age of the Kingdom. After reading them, she said scornfully, “If the Holy Spirit inspires me, I also can write them.” She was warned not to speak so recklessly lest she offend God and be punished, but she said, “Let this sin come upon my head.” Not many days after Xing said this, she became mentally ill. Her husband gave her tranquillizers, but they had no effect. On March 7, she died on the way to the hospital. That sin really came upon her head.

28. Fan XX, male, aged 56, from Anyang County, a worker of the Old Local Church. In November 1994, someone gave him a book of God’s word spoken in the end time. Ten days later, the gospel preacher went to see him, but he said fiercely, “I have chopped the book. It is something that deceives and cheats people. Whoever comes to preach will never deceive a single person.” Then, he instigated the people of his church to destroy all the books given to them. In January 1999, with various rumors he stirred up the brothers and sisters who had just accepted God’s end-time work (about thirty people)and caused them to give up the true way. Later, some others accepted God’s end-time work, but he disturbed and dragged back every one of them whom he discovered. Fan’s sins were truly piled up to heaven! In August 2000, he became paralyzed, and he could not take care of himself in daily life. He spent more than 10,000 yuan on the treatment, but did not get any better. On October 4, 2000, he went to the netherworld.

29. Zhu XX, male, aged 45, from Shantoudian Township in Xiangcheng County, a leader of the Local Church. God’s end-time work was preached to him many times, but he always resisted it, and he also said, “‘The Eastern Lightning’ is a cult….” In April 2001, God’s end-time work was preached to him once again. In front of the gospel preacher, he read out the words of resistance and blasphemy against Almighty God and of the curses against the Church of Almighty God which were summarized by the people of the Local Church. He spared no effort to hinder the people from accepting the true way. On June 9 of the same year, when Zhu was fixing a power line, his body touched it, and he was struck a big hole in the back of his head by the electricity, the blood streaming down the wire pole. He died a really awful death!

30. Qi XX, female, aged 46, from Houji Township in Wuyang County, a worker of the Praise Church. In June 1998, someone preached God’s end-time work to her, but she refused to accept it. Not long after, when another person preached it to her again, she said, “If the Lord came, would the world still be like this?” And she also said, “This is an absolute evil spirit!” In March 1999, someone else preached God’s end-time work to her once again, but she still blasphemed, saying, “The false christ comes to deceive people. This is an antichrist.” Thereafter, whenever Qi learned that someone had accepted God’s end-time work, she would go and disturb him, saying, “You are all deceived. ‘The Eastern Lightning’ is false. You all mustn’t accept it.” And she personally disturbed and dragged back four people. On the afternoon of June 14, 2000, when Qi was gathering wheat on the roof of her flat-roofed house, she was suddenly seized with a severe illness. She was unable to speak and fiercely vomited blood until her tongue retracted too much to be seen and her face became purple…. All rescue measures failed, and she died the following night.

31. Yu XX, male, aged 63, from Xindian Township of Yexian County in Pingdingshan City, a worker of the Local Church. He refused to accept God’s end-time work and even intentionally disturbed others. Moreover, he specially formed a prayer group to blaspheme God’s flesh. He committed a heinous sin against heaven! In the fall of 1998, Yu got an unknown disease. He lost all sensation in his whole lower limbs. He received medical treatment, but it had no effect. Later, he had a lump on his back, and it grew bigger and bigger. In the end, he had a constant high fever, and his lips blistered and he was delirious and raved. In April 1999, he became dry-boned and died.

32. Yang XX, male, aged 65, from Xinhua District in Pingdingshan City, a junior leader of the Local Church. In July 1998, someone preached the end-time work of Almighty God to him, but he said, “God will not be incarnated again. Even if he is incarnated and stands before me, I will still not believe!” His words offended God! On March 27, 2000, Yang had a cerebral hemorrhage due to the rupture of a blood vessel in his brain. A doctor was called in and gave him oxygen therapy, but he was not cured and died on the fifth day. This kind of person was truly an antichrist, and deserved to be cut off!

33. Pei X, female, aged 39, from Yaoshan Town in Lushan County, a junior leader of the Local Church. In February 1997, some brothers and sisters preached the end-time work of Almighty God to her, but she condemned and slandered it. After that, whenever she heard that any preacher of Almighty God came, she would curse him in her prayer. She resisted God to the extent of being frenzied. In October 1997, Pei was found to have esophageal cancer. The people of her church often prayed for her, but the more they prayed, the worse her condition got. However, she thought that God was trying her. In May 1998, her condition became even more serious. Feeling hopeless, she showed her true colors and denied God, and she did not allow anyone to mention “the Lord Jesus” before her. On June 7, 1998, Pei went to the netherworld. It was God’s work that revealed this devil!

34. Li X, female, aged 33, from Zhifang Township in Ruzhou City, a junior leader of the Local Church. In June 1999, someone preached the end-time work of Almighty God to her, but she wildly blasphemed God and swore, “You believers of the evil cult, dirty dogs! Shame on you!” And she also said, “You take the open road, and I will cross the log bridge. I’d prefer to go to the lake of fire.” Then she drove the gospel preacher away. Afterward, she sealed the meeting place, not allowing anyone to accept Almighty God. In October of the same year, Li became mentally ill. She often talked to herself, “I have sinned! I have sinned!” On June 2, 2000, she went to Ruzhou to see a doctor. Hardly had she gotten off the bus in Ruzhou when her mental illness relapsed. She stood in the middle of the road and was injured by a vehicle. All rescue measures failed, and she died on June 9, 2000. This unreasonable shrew was punished for resisting God!

35. Li XX, female, aged 52, from Xin’an County, a leader of the Liberal Group. Since 1998, the brothers and sisters had preached the end-time work of Almighty God to her many times, but every time she condemned and blasphemed God. Once, after she fiercely drove a gospel preacher away, she went to the home of a sister who had just accepted the work of Almighty God and intimidated her, saying, “I tell you, if you accept Almighty God, when a disaster or anything bad happens to you in the future, don’t come to me for help.” In May 1999, a small lump on Li’s arm began to grow and turned into a big one. Upon examination, it was dignosed as cancer, which had already spread. Moreover, her legs became dead and unable to move, and she was bedridden. Later, her mouth ulcerated so badly that she could not even drink water. On July 31, 1999, Li died in agony. This time it was she who met disaster, and she could not even preserve her own life.

36. Guo XX, female, aged 35, from Deting Township in Songxian County, a junior leader of the Spiritual Church. During 1997 and 1998, the brothers and sisters testified to her the end-time work of Almighty God many times, but every time she wantonly blasphemed God and condemned God’s work. Despite her pregnancy, she rushed here and there to hinder others from returning to God. Her mother wanted to accept Almighty God, but she did not dare to after being disturbed by her. On January 20, 1999, after her delivery, Guo started vomiting and having diarrhea. Before arriving at the hospital, she breathed her last. Her death was awful. That was truly retribution to her!

37. Jiang X, male, aged 54, from Checun Town in Songxian County, a senior leader of the Justification by Faith Church. In September 1999, two people went to preach the end-time work of Almighty God to his neighbor. When he learned of that, he immediately rushed to his neighbor’s house to stop them. He pointed his finger at the gospel preachers and hurled a torrent of abuse at them, “I dare say the one you believe in is the devil, an evil spirit, a heresy, and a false christ. You all are the roaring lions prowling around…. Don’t try to drag my people….” This man was really malicious and arrogant! On December3, 1999, while Jiang was tearing down a house, a wall suddenly collapsed, and he was crushed into a meat pie and died miserably on the spot. In less than three months after he did evil, he died a miserable death. Truly, whoever resists will die!

38. Wang X, female, aged 34, from Minquan County in Shangqiu City, a preacher of the Justification by Faith Church. In February 1999, when God’s end-time salvation came to her, she not only refused to accept it, but she went to the meetinghouse and spread these words: “Anyone who leaves the Bible is a false christ who deceives people. If anyone comes to preach it to me again, I will go to the Religious Affairs Bureau to report him….” She also went everywhere to seal the meeting places, hindering others from accepting the true way. One night in November 1999, after Wang got home from a meeting, she was strangled by her husband with a V-belt, and her body was sawed into four pieces. She died without a full corpse. This devil was cursed for resisting God!

39. Zhou XX, female, aged 60, from Zhoukou City, a believer of the Praise Church, whose family was a host family. Since November 1995, the brothers and sisters had preached the end-time work of Almighty God to her many times, but every time she had her husband drive the gospel preachers away. In October 1998, her daughter also preached it to her, but she still refused to accept and drove her daughter out of her house. On January 19, 2000, at the funeral of her mother-in-law, Zhou met her daughter and son-in-law (both of them followed Almighty God), and she blasphemed and slandered, saying: “You surely have believed in an evil way. The one you believe in is a female Jesus, a human, an evil spirit….” The next day, Zhou went somewhere by van. On the way, the van bumped into a tree. At that time, there were more than ten people in it. All the others were slightly injured, but only she became unconscious outright. Before arriving at the hospital, she kicked the bucket.

40. Xia XX, male, aged 44, from Xiangcheng City, a deacon of the Way of Resurrection Church. In February 1999, when some people preached the end-time gospel of Almighty God to him, he rejected it and even slandered and blasphemed Almighty God, and he also frightened the brothers and sisters, saying, “What you believe in is a cult….” One day in early December, Xia went to the home of a brother who believed in Almighty God and hurled insults at the brother, and he also said threateningly, “Where is God? I just don’t believe it. I will send every one of you to the Public Security Bureau and let you all die without knowing why.” The very next morning, Xia was suddenly attacked by an acute disease. Upon examination, he was found to have pleurisy. On the night of the New Year’s Day of 2000, Xia’s condition suddenly worsened, and while the people of his church were praying for him, he went to the netherworld. He had never expected that he would suffer retribution for resisting Almighty God.

41. Liu XX, male, aged 57, from Xiangcheng City, a mid-level leader of the Local Church. In September 1997, two people went to preach God’s end-time work to him, but instead of listening, he drove the gospel preachers out of his house. In August 1998, some others preached Almighty God to the people of his church. When he learned of that, he took the administrative village cadres with him and stopped the gospel preachers on the way. He stood by and said gloatingly, “See, I have told you not to come to preach Almighty God, but you still do it. Now, you have to behave yourself, don’t you?” In July 2000, someone else went to preach God’s end-time work to him, but he still strongly resisted it, and he also blasphemed and condemned, saying, “God, God, God, where is God? What does God look like? What you believe in is a heresy, a cult. You people are all evil!” From then on, he often spoke something slandering and blaspheming God, and he also sealed the meeting places. On the afternoon of December 31, 2000, when Liu was riding his bicycle to a meeting, he fell headlong into the mud under the arch of a treacherous bridge beside the road and never woke up again. Even a bridge arch could devour a man’s life. A villain who resists God will suffer disaster at any place!

42. Wu XX, female, aged 45, from Zhengyang County, a county-level leader of the Born Again Church. In December 1995, after she learned that two sisters in her church had accepted God’s end-time work, she began to spread these words in every meeting place: “They two are directed by heretics. You mustn’t contact them. Once you do, you will be poisoned and can’t be cured.” Moreover, she condemned and blasphemed God’s flesh and called the believers in Almighty God the “Seven Spirits sect.” She also informed all the other born-again churches in her county and told them to reject Almighty God. In 1997, Wu received punishment. She got oral cancer, and spent over 10,000 yuan on the treatment in Henan Provincial Tumor Hospital. But she still did not wake up. In the end, her condition deteriorated progressively. The flesh of her gums and inside cheeks rotted and sloughed off and her face was deformed, and she could not eat and drink anything all day. She was racked with pain and had to depend on intravenous fluids to sustain her life. On September 5, 1998, Wu died in extreme agony. In less than one year after her death, her husband also died of liver cancer. This devil had showed her true colors and deserved to be cut off!

43. Gao X, female, aged 21, from Tanghe County, a preacher of the Praise Church. In December 1997, Gao accepted God’s end-time work, but later she was disturbed by the people of her church and turned back. After that, she went to every meeting place of her church and wildly spread rumors, speaking many words of condemning and blaspheming God’s flesh. She also handed in one of the two books of God’s word to her leader that had been given to her when she had accepted God’s end-time work, and burned the other together with the people of her church. In October 1999, when a gospel preacher went to preach the end-time work to her mother, Gao threatened the gospel preacher, “If you are a believer in ‘the Eastern Lightning,’ I will kill you!” And she said to her mother, “If you believe in it, I will disown you from now on!” She also spoke some words slandering God. In March 2000, Gao got tuberculosis and also a tooth fistula, which discharged blood and pus constantly. At the beginning of 2001, her condition worsened. On the evening of April 9, 2001, with her head hanging down, Gao bled from her nostril and mouth until all the blood drained away, and she died. Doing too much evil brought her disaster!

44. Yang XX, male, aged 60, from Dengzhou City, a preacher of the Three-Self sect. In early March 1999, someone preached the kingdom gospel to him, yet he not only refused to accept but viciously cursed the gospel preacher and blasphemed God’s flesh. He also restricted the people led by him, forbidding them to have contact with the believers in Almighty God. During the meeting on the afternoon of October 9, 1999, while Yang was shouting words of condemnation against God’s new work, he suddenly lost his consciousness and became completely paralyzed, unable to speak or look after himself. This wicked servant thus became a wreck!

45. Liu XX, male, aged 54, from Fangcheng County, a pastor of the Apostolic Church. In the spring of 1998, one of his co-workers accepted Almighty God’s end-time work, and then went to preach it to him, but he said, “I’d rather die than accept this way. It’s an evil spirit and a cult. It’s false.” He also went everywhere to seal the meeting places and to condemn and slander God’s work. Ever since he condemned God’s work, the inflammation of his esophagus had become increasingly severe, and he had to be hospitalized. During the treatment, when he heard that several other brothers and sisters in his church had accepted God’s end-time work, he sent for them to come to see him and tried to bully them into swearing to forsake God’s end-time work, but did not succeed. In August, after the hospital’s examination, his illness was found to have turned into esophageal cancer. On October 22, 1998, he went to Hades in agony. He believed in God but ended up being punished for resisting God!

46. Kong XX, male, aged 67, from Fangcheng County, a junior leader of the First Belief Church. In September 1998, someone preached God’s end-time work to him, but he refused to accept, and he even went to every meeting place to spread rumors, and the blasphemies were offensive to the ear. On December 22, 1999, Kong became sick suddenly and was diagnosed with high blood pressure. On December 25, while he was receiving treatment, he suddenly clenched his teeth and bled from his mouth, nose, eyes, and ears. His family hurriedly used something to pry his jaws, trying to take out the blood clot in his mouth. However, several of his teeth were broken off, but his jaws remained closed. Finally he choked to death. He blasphemed God with words offensive to the ear and was punished. He well deserved it!

47. Ding XX, male, aged 42, from Fangcheng County, a leader of the Praise Church. In April 1998, when a brother preached the kingdom gospel to Ding, he learned that in 1996 some other person had given Ding a book of words expressed by Almighty God, so he asked Ding what knowledge he got after reading the book. Ding spoke many words condemning and slandering God, and he also said that the book was written by man but not the word of God and could only be used for reference, that he had taken it to the meeting place and burned it. Soon after that, Ding had scrofula on his neck, which oozed pus and blood. On August 19, 2000, because his neck rotted through from the front to the back and the treatment failed, Ding died. It was never heard that anyone died of scrofula with his neck rotted through. It was really rare! It shows how great the sin he had committed was!

48. Wang XX, female, aged 57, from Yadi Township in Sanmenxia City, a leader of the Liberal Group. In September 1995, when some people preached God’s end-time gospel to her, she pretended to accept it and asked for some books. Later, she lied that many people were willing to accept God’s end-time gospel and dozens sets of books would be needed, and she asked the gospel preachers to send the books to them. But in secret, she planned to inform the Public Security Bureau, trying to have the gospel preachers arrested. The gospel preachers saw through her trick, and she flew into a rage and destroyed all the books she had. This woman was really sinister and malicious! One day in December 1998, while having a rehearsal for Christmas, Wang suddenly fell and lost consciousness. Having been treated for forty days, she got better. In May 1999, Wang’s old disease recurred and she became a vegetable. In October 2000, she kicked the bucket. It is true that the unfaithful have a craving for violence!

49. Gao XX, female, aged 55, from Xinye County, a worker of the Eternal Salvation Church. At the end of April 1999, she accepted Almighty God’s work, but later she was deceived by others and left the true way. When the brothers and sisters testified to her God’s end-time work again, she not only refused to accept, but also told the people of her church to curse the gospel preachers. Whenever she heard that anyone went to preach the end-time gospel to the people of her church, she would go to disturb and hinder them. She also said, “The evil forces within those people are too strong….” And she seriously blasphemed and slandered God’s flesh. One day in August 2001, on her way home from a meeting, a mad bull charged at her, and she was so frightened that she fainted right away. She was sent to the hospital, but all rescue measures failed, and at one o’clock the next morning, she went to Hades. When she died, her face was blue and her abdomen swollen, which looked horrible!

50. Wang XX, male, aged over 50, from Diaojia Township in Zhongmu County, a core member of the Three-Self sect. In April 1999, when two sisters went to a young sister’s home in Wang’s village to preach God’s end-time work, Wang happened to be there. After hearing the testimony about God’s end-time work, he blasphemed and condemned right away, and he also threatened the two sisters who preached the gospel, “If you don’t go, I’ll send you to the Public Security Bureau with just a phone call….” After that, he spread rumors everywhere and spoke many words slandering and blaspheming God, and he also intimidated the people in his meeting place, not allowing them to hear the true way. The young sister’s father was an unbeliever, and Wang often falsely spoke ill of his daughter before him. As a result, the young sister was often beaten up, and sometimes was confined at home and not allowed to have contact with the believers in Almighty God. One day in March 2000, when Wang and his village mates were cutting down a tree, the big tree fell on another tree and broke one of its branches (about 4 cm in diameter), and the falling branch struck right on Wang’s head. Wang’s skull was broken and he bled heavily. He was sent to the hospital, but all rescue measures failed, and he died that day. Truly, evil will be rewarded with evil!

51. Lin XX, female, aged 36, from Liangyuan District in Shangqiu City, a choir member of the Three-Self sect. On January 28, 2001, her husband’s elder sister went to preach God’s end-time gospel to her, but instead of listening, she condemned God’s work, saying, “What you believe in is a cult.” On June 22, someone else preached the end-time gospel to her, but she betrayed the gospel preacher and the host family, causing the betrayed ones to be persecuted by their families and unable to believe in God normally. In August 2001, Lin got nephritis. The brothers and sisters warned her many times not to offend God anymore, but she showed no sign of repentance. Thereafter, her condition deteriorated day by day. And her whole body swelled and she was unable to eat. On December 27, 2001, she died.

52. Kou XX, male, aged 56, from Guanyintang Township of Baofeng County in Pingdingshan City, a worker of the Local Church. In January 1995, a sister gave him a book of God’s word. A few days later, when she went to see him, his wife said, “That’s the devil’s word.” And with that she fiercely pushed the sister out of the door. The sister said, “If you don’t read the book, give it back to me.” But Kou said, “I’ve burned it. If God should curse, let him curse me!” After that, he went everywhere to seal the meeting places. In November 1997, when he learned that a sister had accepted God’s end-time work, he went to her. Pointing his finger at her, he scolded, “If you go on believing in it, you’ll surely go to the lake of fire and brimstone.” In March 2000, a tumor grew horizontally on Kou’s neck. After the surgery, his condition worsened, and another tumor grew vertically on his neck. The two tumors just intersected and formed a cross. On January 8, 2001, Kou went to the netherworld. Obviously, he was cursed!

53. Zhao XX, female, aged 37, from Miaozi Township in Luanchuan County, a worker of the Local Church. In October 1994, two sisters went to preach Almighty God’s end-time gospel to her, but she refused to accept. Moreover, she drove the two sisters out of her village by night and chased them until they were 1.5 kilometers away along the highway. Later, another gospel preacher gave her a book of God’s word. She said that to burn up the book was too good for it and to put it in the toilet might leave the chance for others to read it, so she tore up the book and threw it into a reservoir. She also spoke many words blaspheming God. On July 25, 2000, a little past five in the afternoon, a disaster came upon her! Zhao was swept by a flood into the reservoir where she had thrown the book, and went to the netherworld. She truly provoked God’s anger and was cursed!

54. Wang XX, male, aged 64, from Tiemen Town in Xin’an County, a core member of the Three-Self sect. In December 1998, the brothers and sisters preached God’s end-time work to him many times, but he refused to accept it, and he even wildly blasphemed God and condemned God’s work, and also hindered the believers from hearing the true way. One day in March 2001, when he drove out a sister who was preaching the gospel, the sister exhorted him not to resist, and said, “God’s disposition is not allowed to be offended. Aren’t you afraid of being punished?” “I’m not afraid!” he said. In July of the same year, Wang suffered a fall on his way to attending church service. After that, his limbs were out of control, and his speech was indistinct. He was sent to the hospital for treatment, but was not cured. In August, walking with a stick, he again drove a gospel preacher out of his village. A few days later, Wang got another acute disease, and after all rescue measures failed, he left the world. This servant of satan was cut off!

55. Zhao XX, female, aged 54, from Laodian Township in Huaxian County, a mid-level leader of the Praise Church. In 1998, some people preached God’s end-time gospel to her many times, but she refused to accept, and she even condemned and blasphemed, “You’re preaching a cult, a devil, and satan, and you’re laying another foundation!” Moreover, she sealed all the meeting places and told the people led by her that whenever anyone came to preach the end-time gospel, they should drive them out of the door. She also said, “I will never regret doing this. If I am wrong, I’m willing to be punished by God!” Then in September 2001, Zhao got a liver tumor, which could not be cured. And on February 4, 2002 (the 23rd of the twelfth month of the lunar year), she died. This wicked servant was punished for resisting God!

56. Wei XX, female, aged 52, from Deting Township in Songxian County, formerly a believer of the Holiness Church. The following is an account in her own words:

Zhang X, male, 55 years old, a mid-level leader of the Holiness Church. He was my husband. In May 1998, someone tried several times to preach God’s end-time work to us, but we always rejected it. We also spoke some words resisting God in the church, which caused over a dozen believers to be unable to turn to Almighty God. Soon after, my husband got sick. In October 1999, I accepted Almighty God, but later I was dragged back by my husband. In October 2000, three sisters accepted Almighty God, but were dragged back by my husband and me. From then on, my husband’s condition worsened day by day. He took medicine but to no avail. Upon examination, he was found to have colitis. In December 2001, someone else tried to preach the gospel to my husband. Despite his sickness, he drove the brother out of our house with a stick. On February 16, 2002 (the fifth day of the Chinese New Year), he was critically ill, even unable to speak, but when the brother tried to preach to him again, he kept shaking his head. After the brother left, he passed away. On February 22, 2002, a sister preached the gospel to me, and only then did I wake up from my dream and realized that my husband was punished by God. I used to resist the true God, but now I hate my evil deeds. I hope that brothers and sisters will not be as foolish as I was, lest it be too late to regret.

57. He XX, female, aged 40, from Zhengyang County, formerly a worker of the Praise Church. In April 2000, when God’s end-time work was preached to her, she not only rejected it but hindered her mother and younger brother from accepting it. She also fabricated rumors to slander the Church of Almighty God, so that her mother did not dare to attend the meetings. Soon after that, He XX fell from a vehicle. Upon examination, it was found that her spleen was loosened and her liver ruptured. Two sisters saw her in the hospital, and she looked very terrible! She had a 17-cm-long incision in her abdomen and a urinary catheter inserted, and was fed with oxygen, with dark blood oozing from her mouth; she was barely alive. After she was discharged from the hospital, He XX realized that she was cursed by God, and she bitterly regretted her resistance. In July 2000, she accepted Almighty God.

58. Wang XX, male, aged 69, from Luanchuan County, a mid-level leader of the Justification by Faith Church. In March 1996, someone went to preach God’s end-time work to him, but instead of listening, he condemned it. His wife wanted to make an investigation, but he tried desperately to stop her, not allowing her to accept. He also sealed the churches and spread rumors, so that many people were unable to turn to God. In August 1996, Wang got lung cancer, and on December 2, he died. His wife knew it was God’s punishment, so she accepted Almighty God resolutely. This fulfilled the word in the Bible: “Two people will be in one bed; one will be taken and the other left.”

59. Du XX, female, aged 56, from Guolian Township in Yuzhou City, a junior leader of the Pentecostal Church. In 1995, when the gospel of God’s end-time work was preached to her, she not only refused to accept, but she said, “You are evil spirits and heretics.” And she also hindered the brothers and sisters from accepting it. At the end of 1995, Du got intestinal cancer, and she passed blood. During her sickness, she was possessed by evil spirits and was tortured half dead. On August 25, 1996, she died.

60. Fu XX, male, aged 58, from Xinye County, a worker of the Local Church. Between 1998 and 1999, some people testified to him the work of Almighty God many times, but he always refused to accept. In April 1999, it was preached to him once again. After listening, he was bitterly remorseful and acknowledged that it was God’s work. But after he went back, he was deceived by his leader, and a week later he gave the book of God’s word to his elder brother (it was his elder brother who took another brother to preach to him), and said, “This way is not the true way. It is a false way.” After one month, Fu felt something stuck in his throat when he had meals. Upon examination, he was found to have esophageal cancer. His condition worsened day by day, and by November, he was almost unable to eat anything. During this period, he went to the home of his elder sister-in-law to borrow money for his treatment, and he said to her with tears in his eyes, “I’ve offended God’s disposition. I read God’s word but I didn’t accept it. I insulted and slandered God, and I am cursed by God.” In February 2000, Fu left the world.

61. Wang XX, male, aged 42, from Pingyu County, a leader of the Hua Xuehe sect. On November 26, 1998, the end-time work of Almighty God was preached to him, and he accepted it, but then he doubted it. He even spread rumors everywhere to disturb the brothers and sisters, saying, “We cannot break with Hua Xuehe. If the way of Almighty God fails in the future, we’ll still have someone to fall back on.” Soon after, Wang felt unwell. On December 3, he had an examination and was found to have terminal liver cancer. The treatment was ineffective and he died on February 15, 1999. Before his death, he took out the book of Almighty God’s end-time word and gave it to his wife, and said, “Do believe in Almighty God. This way is true. I am dying.” Only on his deathbed did he testify that Almighty God is the true God, but unfortunately, he himself could not receive this kingdom salvation.

62. Chen XX, female, aged 53, from Minquan County in Shangqiu City, a core member of the Three-Self sect. In February 2001, when she learned that a brother in her sect had accepted Almighty God’s end-time work, she began to seal the meeting places everywhere, hindering the others from accepting the true way. In April 2001, Chen got a strange disease—now-cold-and-then-hot syndrome. Only after spending over 7,000 yuan on the treatment did she get better. In September of the same year, Chen’s husband fractured his foot, which cost them another several hundred yuan. In less than one year, all their savings were used up. Later, Chen herself said that it was her retribution for offending God!

63. Liang XX, male, aged 60, from Chengguan Town in Mengjin County, a junior leader of the Liberal Group. In the fall of 1998, the end-time work of Almighty God was preached to him, but he refused to accept. In the winter of 1998, when it was preached to him again, he was sick and sat in the bed. After listening, he said, “You preached well, but I just don’t dare to accept. Except for the God I believe in who is the true God, there is no God in any other churches. This is false.” He not only rejected it himself, but he hindered others from accepting it. In 1999, Liang got hemiplegia. He sat in the street, and though he was unable to speak clearly, when he saw a brother who had accepted Almighty God, he pointed to him and yelled wildly, “He’s deceived. He’s a false christ.…” Thereafter, his illness became more and more serious, and his son did not get him a doctor. In July 1999, Liang became a vegetable, being bedridden and knowing nothing. His wife pitied him and tried to feed him something, but he could not swallow. So, she asked a doctor to insert a rubber tube into Liang’s stomach, and she injected milk in with a syringe every two hours. Liang was tortured like this for more than five months, and in early 2000, he died. After his death, many people in his church accepted Almighty God.

64. Liu XX, female, aged 48, from Pingle Town in Mengjin County, a leader of the Three Grades of Servants Church. In the winter of 1997, someone preached God’s end-time work to her, but she said, “You are believing in an evil way.” She also told the people led by her, “If anyone comes to preach to you, say the worst things and call them the worst names, and to drive them away is the goal. Whoever receives them will share in their wickedness.” In the summer of 2001, the gospel preacher went to preach to her again, but she shouted and cried and pushed the gospel preacher out of the door. Since Liu resisted Almighty God in 1997, her mother-in-law had been long bedridden with paralysis; in the winter of 1998, her husband got cerebral vascular disease and was hospitalized; in 1999, her 18-year-old daughter had a frequent stomachache, and was hospitalized and had an operation; and in the same year, her father-in-law got cancer, and then became bedridden in April 2001. Liu often said, “I don’t know what sin I’ve committed. Life is so difficult. It would be better for me to die than to be tormented like this!” Just as the Bible says: “A wicked man puts up a bold front.” She did all kinds of evil and was punished, but how could she not realize that? In January 2002, Liu’s parents-in-law died one by one. As they were not cremated, Liu was fined 800 yuan by the county government.

65. Guo XX, female, aged 47, from Liangyuan District in Shangqiu City, an accountant of the Three-Self sect. In April 1999, a sister preached the end-time work of Almighty God to her, but she refused to accept and condemned, “You must be deceived by a false christ. Don’t believe in it! I’d rather die and go to hell than listen to you!” On April 24, 1999, while quarreling with her neighbor, Guo suddenly could not speak and lost consciousness. She was sent to the hospital, but all rescue measures failed and she went to Hades the next day.
