I

Among My people, I have once again begun new work. I am not only enabling My people to know the incarnate God, but also cleansing them. Due to the severity of My administrative decrees, a great majority of people are still in danger of being eliminated by Me. Unless you make every effort to prune yourself, to subdue your own body—unless you do this, you'll assuredly become an object that I spurn, to be cast down into hell. I will keep cleansing the church, I will continue to purify the people I need, because I am God Himself, who is all-holy and immaculate.

I will make My temple not just iridescent with the colors of the rainbow, but also spotlessly clean, with an interior to match its exterior. In My presence, you, one and all, should think back on what you have done in the past, and decide whether today you can resolve to give Me perfect satisfaction in My heart. Has not all I have done been for the sake of humanity's survival? Many times have I come into the world of men, but men did not pay Me any regard despite My coming in My own person into the world; instead, each acted as he saw fit and sought a way out for himself. Little do they know that every single road below the heavens comes from My hands! Little do they know that every single thing below the heavens is subject to My ordination!

Which one of you dares to harbor resentment in their heart? Which one of you dares lightly to come to a settlement? I have just been quietly going about My work in humanity's midst—that is all. If, during the period of My incarnation, I had not sympathized with man's weakness, then all of humanity would, solely on account of My incarnation, have been frightened out of their wits and, as a result, fallen into Hades. It is only because I humbled Myself and hid Myself away that humanity has escaped catastrophe, met deliverance from My chastisement, and, in this way, arrived at today. Mindful of how difficult it was to arrive at today, should you not cherish all the more the tomorrow that is still to come?
