  • Almighty God is the second coming of the Lord Jesus.

  • His work of judgment is for sure the work of God in the last days.

  • This deserves our seeking, deserves our investigation.

  • In the past, we all blindly followed pastors, controlled by them,

  • and thought that faith must be based on the Bible,

  • and that God's word was only ever recorded in the Bible.

  • Some of the pastors' views are quite problematic.

  • We can no longer be controlled by these wrong views.

  • We need to seek the truth, not worship pastors.

  • We can't blindly trust their biblical knowledge.

  • I must seek it and not wait any longer.

  • That's good!

  • Let's all go to the Church of Almighty God tomorrow!

  • Oh, yes. Praise the Lord.

  • You're all early!

  • Hello. Hi! How are you? Good to see you.

  • Good evening. Hi, how are you?

  • Welcome. Hello. So good to see you. Thank you for coming. Please sit here.

  • What are you all so captivated by?

  • Ah, some videos from the Church of Almighty God.

  • From the Church of Almighty God?

  • Ah, is that so?

  • The songs are really fascinating.

  • Here, let's look. (Hmm. OK. Sure.)

  • Wow! This song is amazing!

  • We should watch another one!

  • Yeah, it's beautiful.

  • The Church of Almighty God's website has lots of other songs.

  • Yes, let's hear another. (Yeah, let's do that.)

  • Wow! These videos are really amazing!

  • I know. And aren't the songs wonderful?

  • The visuals are so relaxing,

  • and the words, such fresh lyrics.

  • Tell me, who wrote such practical words?

  • It's really an inspiring video.

  • It says the appearance of God is for God become flesh to save mankind.

  • It's so new to me.

  • Isn't this the same as the appearance and work of Lord Jesus?

  • It's not how we always thought the Lord would appear to us,

  • riding upon the clouds.

  • God's appearance is mysterious, and we should seek the truth.

  • It's worthy of our time!

  • You know, this is pretty different.

  • Could God have come to perform His work again? (Seems so.)

  • I won't hide this anymore.

  • Yes, this past year,

  • I've been reading a great deal about the words of Almighty God online.

  • I've been studying Almighty God's work.

  • The more I read of these words, the more enlightened I become.

  • This is the true way I know it in my heart. (The true way?)

  • I should look this up online too. Sounds good.

  • You should all watch the videos of the Church of Almighty God

  • and listen to His words.

  • Don't isolate yourself or risk being abandoned by the Lord for not listening.

  • Yes, I see.

  • All these years we've relied on our own imagination,

  • thinking the Lord would return with clouds.

  • So we keep waiting and waiting.

  • But all these years, we've never seen the Lord Jesus arrive upon the clouds.

  • Yet we never dared imagine

  • that the Lord would return as the Son of man and in China.

  • China?

  • He came to China to express the truth to mankind,

  • and to cleanse and save us all.

  • He came to perform His work of judgment beginning with the house of God,

  • and open up the mysteries of God's management plan, and show us the truth.

  • All truth we need, the truth we seek to understand

  • are found in the words of Almighty God.

  • My eyes have been opened.

  • It fulfills what Lord Jesus promised,

  • These words from Almighty God

  • are the very same words the Holy Spirit said to the churches

  • in the Book of Revelation.

  • Now the words of Almighty God and testimonies from God's chosen people

  • can all be found online free to be researched by anyone.

  • Almighty God's words truly do carry authority, power, and are truths.

  • No one dares to deny the words and expression of Almighty God.

  • Many people who have examined this online

  • have accepted the work of Almighty God in the last days.

  • Many people in the religious world are awakening.

  • This truly shows to me Almighty God is the second coming of the Lord Jesus.

  • His work of judgment is for sure the work of God in the last days.

  • This deserves our seeking, deserves our investigation.

  • Yes. Amen. He is right.

  • This is really surprising.

  • We've been waiting for the Lord's arrival for so long.

  • I should hurry and look into this.

  • Elder Lee, what he said makes a lot of sense to me.

  • Elder Im, seems this new way is worth looking into.

  • But you say Almighty God is the return of Lord Jesus,

  • and that He has spoken much truth to do the work of God's judgment.

  • But I don't know.

  • The Bible does not say it this way. (Amen.)

  • All of God's words and work can be found in the Bible.

  • God's salvation work is completed. (Amen.)

  • When the Lord returns, we will be taken into the kingdom of heaven.

  • How can there be more words and work of God outside of the Bible? (Amen.)

  • It's not possible.

  • Convince me, or I won't be able to fully accept it.

  • Elder Im, for so many years you've worked and preached with us here.

  • All of God's word is in the Bible.

  • You should know there can be no word of God outside the Bible.

  • Our preaching must be based in the Bible.

  • Our faith is with the Bible. (Amen.)

  • So why are you leading others

  • to instead read Almighty God's word on the Internet?

  • Is this not moving away from the word of the Lord?

  • Why shouldn't he share this with us?

  • One second. Please let me finish my thought.

  • Brothers and sisters, listen.

  • All of God's words are found in the Bible.

  • Our faith in the Lord must be based on the words in the Bible alone. (Amen.)

  • Departing from the Bible is resisting, betraying the Lord. (Amen.)

  • Amen!

  • You should confess, repent and ask for forgiveness.

  • Amen!

  • The Lord's words are all right in the Bible.

  • To depart from the Bible is to betray the Lord. (Amen.)

  • Elder Im, the prophecies for the Lord's return have been fulfilled.

  • The day of the Lord's coming has arrived.

  • At any time, the Lord could come back to receive us.

  • It's our job to lead believers to read and to hold onto the Bible.

  • What will satisfy the Lord is watching for His return. (Amen.)

  • Then we won't be abandoned when He comes.

  • So why would you follow a way outside of what the Bible tells us is the way?

  • You may think the Lord's word is all in the Bible,

  • and that there's no way the Lord would say anything outside of there.

  • Well, I have a question for you.

  • If the Lord Jesus returned to earth,

  • could what He said be recorded in the Bible?

  • How would you clarify that?

  • The Bible was compiled by man.

  • Remember, the New Testament wasn't done till about 300 years

  • after Lord Jesus ascended.

  • This is a fact you should know.

  • So would the words of the returned Lord Jesus automatically appear in the Bible?

  • Have you considered this before?

  • That does seem to make sense.

  • It's something I've never really thought much about before.

  • I too once accepted the false traditions of the religious world,

  • thinking all God's words were in the Bible,

  • and that there would be no more of the Lord's word when He returns to earth.

  • But then, after studying the Bible,

  • I realized that the Lord wouldn't possibly just be silent when He returns.

  • The Lord performs His work through His word.

  • If He says nothing, how can He perform the work of the last days?

  • How will this promise be fulfilled?

  • Therefore, it is undeniable when the Lord returns

  • that He will definitely speak to us.

  • But how could these new words He speaks

  • automatically appear in the pages of the Bible?

  • When God did His work in the Age of Law,

  • and the Lord Jesus did His work in the Age of Grace,

  • His words did not appear in the Bible automatically.

  • It was years after God completed His work

  • that the people used by God wrote them in the Bible.

  • Don't people realize this?

  • If man is this foolish, then they are beyond saving.

  • When Lord Jesus did His work,

  • He knew corrupt mankind had never seen God's appearance,

  • and that when they first truly came to see God in the flesh,

  • they would not be able to truly know God.

  • So Lord Jesus said to men,

  • The Lord Jesus clearly told man there are many things He hasn't said.

  • Because at that time He knew man could not bear them.

  • So Lord Jesus prophesied that He would come again in the last days,

  • and tell mankind all the truths and things to come.

  • If all of God's words are already in the Bible,

  • how could these words of Lord Jesus come true?

  • The Book of Revelation also says,

  • "He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit said to the churches,"

  • as well as "the hidden manna," the Lamb opening the book, and others.

  • Now we can be sure:

  • When the Lord returns, He would certainly express truth

  • and perform the work of judgment beginning at the house of God.

  • He spoke of the parables of the kingdom of heaven,

  • and of separating wheat and tares, sheep and goats and good and evil servants.

  • These prophecies are proof that God still has work for the last days.

  • He still must speak and do His work.

  • The judgment work of Almighty God

  • completely fulfills the prophecy of the return of the Lord.

  • This is undeniable fact.

  • If people think God's words and work are only in the Bible,

  • and there's no way God's words and work can exist outside of the Bible,

  • this is just heretical.

  • It disrupts God's work and deceives people.

  • Just an obstacle preventing people from accepting God's new work.

  • Don't you understand yet?

  • God's words and work are not just found in the Bible then. (Yeah.)

  • This must be true.

  • Elder Im, your fellowship makes me feel ashamed.

  • The Bible has many parts that say at the Lord's return,

  • He will surely speak more of His word.

  • Though we know the Bible so well, why would we ignore these passages?

  • We've been arrogant, judging with our imagination,

  • thinking all God's words and work are in the Bible,

  • and that there's no God's word or work outside the Bible.

  • If that were true, these prophecies could never come true.

  • We really are foolish and ignorant.

  • Elder Im, your fellowship today has brought out the light.

  • So you have accepted Almighty God long ago.

  • Why didn't you say anything to us then about investigating this work?

  • That's right! Oh, yeah. Right.

  • Now you know more than the rest of us. Why'd you leave us behind? (Yeah.)

  • Yeah, is that appropriate?

  • After this fellowship today, it seems the way of Almighty God is the true way.

  • Yes, it is.

  • You understand more of the truth than we do.

  • We have kept the return of the Lord in our imaginations.

  • What's worse is we've defined God in the Bible,

  • thinking God's work is only found there,

  • and that there's no way God could ever possibly come to perform His new work.

  • Now this view seems like a mistake in our thinking.

  • How could the word and work of the returned Lord Jesus in the last days

  • be recorded in the Bible?

  • We have been too foolish and ignorant not to realize this sooner.

  • Yes, yes.

  • I need to read more of Almighty God's word to learn

  • and to understand more of the truth,

  • and keep up with God's work. (Yeah.)

  • Yes.

  • What Elder Im is saying accords with the truth, and we should listen carefully.

  • Pastors often say that God's words and work are all recorded in the Bible,

  • and that our faith in God must be in the Bible alone.

  • But this is surely a fallacy.

  • How have we not seen this before?

  • What is the problem?

  • When Elder Im tells us of Almighty God's word,

  • we're able to understand it and see past religious errors.

  • This shows for certain that Almighty God's word is definitely the truth.

  • Only the truth makes us distinguish and understand clearly.

  • Amen.

  • Now we need to seek the truth, not worship pastors.

  • We can't blindly trust their biblical knowledge.

  • We should go learn more about the words of Almighty God online,

  • so that we all have hope of being raptured. (Amen!)

  • We should take a look at the website together.

  • I think so too.

  • If only we'd studied Almighty God's word earlier,

  • we could have seen through the fallacies long ago.

  • That's true. So it is.

  • We shouldn't waste time, don't you think?

  • We should hurry and read up on it right away.

  • Elder Im,

  • none of us knew you'd been studying Almighty God's word all this past year.

  • It's surprising.

  • I can see your fellowship today is full of light and in line with the truth.

  • So it seems the Eastern Lightning really does have the truth.

  • I'm not opposed to that.

  • But I just don't understand

  • why so many pastors resist and condemn Almighty God,

  • and stop believers from seeking out the truth

  • and learning about Almighty God's work.

  • If you really think about it,

  • pastors are serving God and knowing the Bible well,

  • they should have some knowledge of God.

  • So if this is the truth, and the Eastern Lightning is the true way,

  • then why would they condemn and resist them?

  • This problem troubles me. I'd like to hear your thoughts.

  • Yes, please tell us!

  • Elder Im, you found the courage on your own to seek God's work online

  • and not be held down by religious pastors,

  • which isn't easy.

  • Your faith and courage inspire us all. (Yes.)

  • Tell us, how did you first seek the work of Almighty God?

  • Oh, yes, please. Please tell us.

  • When I saw many pastors were condemning them,

  • I truly think this didn't feel like it was the Lord's will.

  • I saw their arrogance, condemning the Eastern Lightning

  • and growing more rampant every day in their criticism.

  • They had no basis, no facts to back up their exaggerations and stories.

  • Many also quoted the Bible but out of context.

  • I just felt this wasn't from the Holy Spirit at all.

  • Everyone saying these types of things seemed to have malice, ulterior motives.

  • I felt there was something wrong with them,

  • and that the Eastern Lightning might be the true way after all.

  • Otherwise,

  • why on earth would it attract so much condemnation from vicious people?

  • I read online

  • that even though pastors and the CCP

  • were all furiously resisting and condemning Almighty God,

  • more sincere believers were joining from other sects every day

  • and turning to Almighty God.

  • This reminded me: When Lord Jesus appeared to perform His work,

  • was He not also subjected to persecution of the Roman government and Jews?

  • And yet, no matter how hard they tried to resist the work of Lord Jesus,

  • the gospel still spread among the people.

  • Since ancient times, the true way has faced persecution.

  • But that which is from God will not be held down. (Amen.)

  • So I thought

  • Almighty God could very well be the second coming of the Lord Jesus.

  • Because only the appearance of the true God

  • could make the atheist CCP and religious world

  • be so cruel in their condemnation and persecution.

  • Where the true God appears, there will be persecution.

  • Yeah, it's true.

  • You know, the persecution of the Eastern Lightning by the CCP

  • is really extreme and cruel.

  • It's true. I've heard the same thing.

  • And so, I went to the Church of Almighty God website.

  • And then, I was shocked by what I saw:

  • Almighty God's wordThe Word Appears in the Flesh,

  • and more movies, musicals, music videos, everything.

  • It was amazing.

  • Enough to watch for months.

  • These truths could never be appreciated in religious circles.

  • The people of the Church of Almighty God

  • really are following the Lamb to the feast.

  • The truth expressed by Almighty God is rich and bountiful.

  • Not only does it show the mysteries of God's 6000-year plan,

  • but also tells how Satan corrupted mankind,

  • the origin and extent of man's corruption,

  • why man resists God and how God saves man, and how God truly completes man,

  • why God has become flesh in the last days to perform judgment,

  • what its purpose and meaning is,

  • how man's ending is divided,

  • which people will receive salvation and enter the kingdom of heaven,

  • which people will be eliminated,

  • and what man's true destination is,

  • how God will ultimately end the age,

  • how the kingdom of Christ will be realized, and so forth.

  • Everything is very clearly described in Almighty God's word.

  • The work of Almighty God in the last days

  • completely accomplishes all of the prophecies from Lord Jesus.

  • The word of Almighty God is the truth.

  • It conquers men's hearts and convinces them completely.

  • Anyone with spirit and heart who reads the word of Almighty God

  • knows for sure that this is God's voice

  • and will be raptured before God's throne.

  • It seems so amazing to me. Almighty God's word is bountiful. (Yes.)

  • We should look into it.

  • All of this has made me see clearly now:

  • So many religious pastors are closing the doors of their churches,

  • and as regards Almighty God's work of judgment,

  • they aren't seeking or studying.

  • They just condemn and believe the lies

  • spread on the internet by the atheist CCP government,

  • stopping believers from following the work of Almighty God in the last days.

  • Satan's evil intentions and plots are behind this.

  • They are afraid that people will hear the words of Almighty God

  • and know that they are the truth,

  • and end up turning toward Almighty God in the end.

  • After that, no one will be left to listen to their stale doctrines

  • and obsolete Bible knowledge.

  • Their careers and livelihood will be at risk when people turn to Almighty God.

  • This is why they furiously condemn and oppose Almighty God.

  • Aside from that, there's no basis whatsoever.

  • The pastors only care about their jobs and reputation.

  • God's work in the last days is far too revelatory for people.

  • It has revealed both the true believers and even those false believers.

  • Those who accept the work of Almighty God in the last days are wise virgins.

  • They will all be raptured before God's throne,

  • enjoying the supply of the river of life

  • and receiving God's personal salvation and perfection.

  • These people are overcomers made by God in the last days.

  • But those who reject the work of God in the last days will be abandoned by God.

  • Then if they still don't seek the true way,

  • when the great disasters happen,

  • they will be left weeping and gnashing their teeth.

  • We can't waste any more time.

  • So this is how God exposes each kind of people.

  • You're right. This is different than what we thought.

  • God truly has the wisdom.

  • Elder Im's fellowship is so insightful.

  • If Almighty God hadn't expressed so many truths,

  • how could Elder Im's fellowship have been so clear and so illuminating?

  • It seems Almighty God's way really is worth looking into.

  • How was I so foolish before?

  • He's gained much for seeking the true way for over a year, but I had no idea.

  • I really have been ignorant.

  • Could Almighty God be the return of Lord Jesus?

  • If it wasn't for God's word,

  • he wouldn't have been able to learn so much in such a short time.

  • I'm so far behind.

  • No, I must catch up to him.

  • Otherwise, I really will be abandoned by the Lord.

  • Elder Im, listening to your fellowship has filled me with excitement.

  • Almighty God has expressed so many truths.

  • So many have heard God's voice and returned to God's throne.

  • How did I have no idea?

  • In the past, I too saw the CCP and religious world

  • furiously condemning Almighty God,

  • using lies and rumors trying to frame,

  • and using other methods to smear the Church of Almighty God.

  • How did I not realize before that this might have been God's appearance?

  • Since ancient times, the true way has been persecuted.

  • Wherever God appears, there will be opposition of satanic forces

  • and the persecution of God's chosen ones.

  • I've been so numb and blind.

  • I can't believe I didn't notice this before.

  • For years we've listened to pastors,

  • never listening to or contacting the way of the Eastern Lightning,

  • or giving them a chance.

  • Being controlled by our religious leaders

  • is just the result of our foolishness and ignorance.

  • We just can't keep hiding behind closed doors anymore.

  • We must seek the way of Almighty God as soon as possible.

  • Amen! Yes, as soon as possible!

  • Well said, Elder Yang.

  • In the past, we all blindly followed pastors, controlled by them,

  • and thought that faith must be based on the Bible,

  • and that God's word was only ever recorded in the Bible.

  • But now this seems just problematic, incomplete.

  • If Lord Jesus came to speak His word, would that be recorded in the Bible?

  • If the Spirit of truth starts to speak words,

  • they wouldn't automatically appear in the Bible.

  • I used to be foolish and ignorant.

  • Some of the pastors' views are quite problematic.

  • We can no longer be controlled by these wrong views.

  • He's right.

  • Yes. We cannot deny God's actual words.

  • But aren't all the Bible God's words as well?

  • Is it so wrong for faith to be based on the Bible?

  • On this subject,

  • we'd love to know more. (Yes, I'd like to know too.)

  • Elder Lee,

  • I have only been reading Almighty God's words for a little over a year now.

  • So my understanding is still shallow.

  • There're many things I can't fellowship clearly.

  • I think it's best if we head to the Church of Almighty God,

  • and let the witnesses there fellowship to us in more detail.

  • Ah, great! That sounds wonderful!

  • Yes, that'd be great.

  • To be honest, I have a friend who believes in Almighty God.

  • Ah, really?

  • He once tried to tell me about Almighty God's work, but I didn't listen.

  • I really regret ignoring him then.

  • Elder Lee, you've heard it before?

  • We wish you had told us earlier.

  • We could have looked into it long ago.

  • Yeah, what a shame!

  • I'm ashamed to admit it.

  • If I started then, wouldn't I be further by now? (Yes.)

  • But hearing you commune about the word of Almighty God today,

  • I finally realize that His word is the truth.

  • I must seek it and not wait any longer.

  • That's good!

  • Let's all go to the Church of Almighty God tomorrow! (Oh, yes. Praise the Lord.)

Almighty God is the second coming of the Lord Jesus.
