Countries are in great chaos, because God's rod has begun to play its role. "The waters will roar, the mountains will topple, the great rivers will disintegrate," this is the rod's initial work on earth, with the result that "all households upon earth will be torn apart, and all nations on earth will be rent asunder; gone will be the days of reunions between husband and wife, no more will mother and son meet again, never again will there be the coming together of father and daughter. All that used to be on earth will be smashed by Me." Such will be the general state of families on earth. Naturally, it could not possibly be the state of all of them. Once the people of this stream have undergone the chastisement of words and the nonbelievers have been subjected to catastrophe, there will no longer be familial relations among the people on earth; they will all be the people of Sinim, and will all be loyal in God's kingdom. This will be the final work that God does in man.
