The Church of Almighty God | Can We Meet the Return of the Lord by Following Blindly?

The Church of Almighty God | Can We Meet the Return of the Lord by Following Blindly?



One day, I read a small story: An old man and a kid led a donkey to a fair. At first, the kid rode the donkey, while the old man walked. Then, passers-by saw them and said the kid was naive and that he should let the old man ride the donkey. So the kid dismounted and let the old man ride it. Later on, they encountered a person who said the old man was too selfish to ride the donkey alone. Thus they rode it together. After a while, some people met them and commented that they were cruel for they would exhaust the donkey. For this reason, they got off it and walked the donkey. Again, another passing person said they were silly for they didn’t ride the available donkey. They did not know whom they should listen to. Finally, they pushed the donkey into a well and had nothing left.

The Church of Almighty God | A Story About Thick Neck and Thin Neck

Jingyuan

 
A long time ago, there was a small island, where people’s necks were thick for lack of iodine. However, the residents weren’t aware and thought their necks were quite normal. Because all the people of the island were like this from generation to generation. One day, a geologist came to the island for an investigation. Seeing his neck so thin, the people of the island said he was sick and abnormal. The geologist told them the truth, “It is all of you that are sick for you are affected with severe iodine deficiency. You should eat more iodine-containing foods to solve the problem.” Yet no matter what the geologist said, they did not believe it and insisted that, “We’ve always been like this through the ages. You are abnormal! You are sick!” In order to help them free from the suffering caused by the illness, the geologist advised them to go out and take a look. After repeated exhortations by the geologist, two of them went along with him to a city outside the island. They came to a sudden realization when they saw all people’s thin necks and the laboratory report offered by the doctor. Then they admitted they were sick indeed and were willing to cooperate with the doctor.

Almighty God’s Love Melted My Long-frozen Heart

I am from Shenyang City, and was a leader of the True Jesus Church. In 1995, a flood brought our family business to the verge of breakdown, so I went to a Christian church to seek a tower of strength. In the second half of 1996, I entered the True Jesus Church. After I joined this Church where believers prayed in tongues, I felt sure it was the only Church which had the sealing of the Holy Spirit and the proof of entering the kingdom of heaven, and that it was the ark of the last days, into which all other denominations will be integrated in the future. In 1997, I returned to my hometown to preach the gospel and establish the church, and the number of believers rapidly increased to more than forty.

Over the centuries since the Lord Jesus resurrected and ascended to heaven, we believers have yearned eagerly for Jesus the Savior's return. Most people believe that it will be the spiritual body of the resurrected Jesus that will appear to us when the Lord returns. But why has God appeared to man incarnating as the Son of man in the last days? Almighty God says, "If God does not become flesh, He remains the Spirit both invisible and intangible to man. Man is a creature of flesh, and man and God belong to two different worlds and are different in nature. The Spirit of God is incompatible with man of flesh, and no relations can be established between them...." "Only through becoming flesh can He personally deliver His words to the ears of all so that all who have ears can hear His words and receive His work of judgment by the word. Only such is the result achieved by His word ..." (The Word Appears in the Flesh).

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival for Chinese people. There are no food and drinks for I need to pay more attention to my duties. Just remember what should I do. I know some western brothers and sisters have no idea about Mid-Autumn Festival, so I'd like to make a short introduction about it.

In my childhood, my father often took me out. When I was tired with walking, he would carry me on his back. At that time, I felt that my father was very tall, and from his back I could see far away.
Year after year passed. The young tree increased the number of its rings and was not tender and became tall and straight. The big tree became old and was stamped with the marks of time all over its body. Things changed as time went by. When we grew up, our hometown always seemed small to us, and we became curious about the outside world. So the kids once naive now loved traveling far away from home. My friends in my childhood left the hometown with their dreams. Some of them achieved great success; and some returned home gloriously. As a rash young man, I, of course, was unwilling to stay where I was.

Will the Lord Jesus Come as a Thief or Come Upon a Cloud?

Will the Lord Jesus Come as a Thief or Come Upon a Cloud?


Gospel of the Descent of Kingdom, Almighty God, Eastern Lightning, Returned Lord Jesus
Gospel of the Descent of Kingdom | The Way of Lord Jesus Second Coming Again
Jin Hua fetched Sister Zheng and Sister Yang (back from another province) from the railway station. After they three had lunch, she put them to bed. Jin Hua was about to lie down and take a nap when Sister Wang of her church came to tell her that ten more brothers and sisters had been arrested by the police of the CCP the day before, so she didn’t want to attend meetings and planned to go to another place to work. Hearing that, Jin Hua’s heart sank with the realization that the extent of the CCP’s persecution was becoming more and more grievous. But at that moment, she was too busy comforting Sister Wang to think more, “God uses it to test our faith in Him, and it also fulfills the sign of the Lord’s return. The Lord Jesus said, ‘Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and you shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. … But he that shall endure to the end, the same shall be saved’ (Matthew 24:9-13). Now the prophecies of the Lord’s return have already been fulfilled and the day of the Lord has already come. Wait till He descends with the clouds, and we’ll be raptured into the kingdom of heaven. Just as the Lord Jesus said, ‘And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draws near’ (Luke 21:27-28). At this crucial moment, we should keep our faith in Him even more—we must endure to the end, no matter how great the persecution and tribulation. Today, our light affliction, which is but for a moment, will work for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory in the future.”

Classic Examples of Punishment for Resisting Almighty God

Classic Examples of Punishment for Resisting Almighty God

Gospel of the Descent of Kingdom, Punishment
Gospel of the Descent of Kingdom | Punishment in the Hell
177. Zhao XX, male, aged 49, from Yangquan City, a deacon of the Three-Self sect. In April 1999, someone preached Almighty God’s end-time work to him, but he resisted it vehemently and uttered blasphemies against God. He also went everywhere to seal the meeting places and disturb the others from hearing the testimony. Moreover, in the co-workers’ meetings he condemned God’s end-time work as a heresy and the fellowship about it as an evil teaching, and also instigated the brothers and sisters to reject it. On October 3, 1999, while Zhao was preaching, he was attacked by a sudden illness. He foamed at the mouth and became unconscious on the spot. On October 9, 1999, he died. This completely fulfilled the word in the Bible: “A false witness will perish.”

II Questions and Answers About the Way in Which the Lord Returns

The Church of Almighty God, Almighty God, Almighty God's Words, Eastern Lightning
The Church of Almighty GodAlmighty God's Words

Question 1: The Lord said He will come back and take us to the kingdom of heaven. However, what you’re saying is that the Lord has become flesh to do the work of judgment in the last days. It is said right in the Bible that the Lord will come upon a cloud all in glory. But you’re saying that the Lord has become flesh in secret. That sounds a lot different.

Why Is God Called by Different Names in Different Ages?

Why Is God Called by Different Names in Different Ages?

The Church of Almighty God, words of Almighty God, Eastern Lightning
The Church of Almighty God | God's name has changed


Relevant Words of God:

In each age, God does new work and is called by a new name; how could He do the same work in different ages? How could He cling to the old? The name of Jesus was taken for the work of redemption, so would He still be called by the same name when He returns in the last days? Would He still do the work of redemption? Why is it that Jehovah and Jesus are one, yet They are called by different names in different ages? Is it not because Their work in these ages is different? Could a single name represent God in His entirety? In this way, God must be called by a different name in a different age, must use the name to change the age and represent the age, for no one name can fully represent God Himself. And each name can only represent God’s disposition during a certain age and needs only to represent His work. Therefore, God can choose whatever name befits His disposition to represent the entire age.

I, once a deacon and preacher in the True Jesus Church, did many things to resist Almighty God because of my foolishness and callousness. However, my evil doings didn’t hinder the step of God’s work, but instead brought upon me an unexpected punishment. Finally, after some setbacks, my family returned to God’s throne due to His call of love…
