Mom!
Look what's happening!
The plague is ravaging the earth, and it's only getting worse.
There's flooding spanning across China
and famines are sure to follow.
Yeah.
Everyone's filled with fear.
Is it the start of the great disasters?
It certainly looks like it.
Mom,
if the great disasters have started but we haven't welcomed the Lord,
wouldn't that mean He's cast us into the disasters?
Oh, don't say that. That would be terrible.
Then our faith all these years would have been for nothing!
What should we do now?
We can't just resign ourselves to that.
Revelation prophesies that the Lord Jesus will come before the disasters.
If the great disasters have come, the Lord should be here already.
We have to go look for Him.
Look for Him?
Look where?
It's such a big world, and we don't even know where to look.
Dad,
how can you say that?
I've already told you so many times but you never listen.
Eastern Lightning has been saying that the Lord Jesus has returned,
that Almighty God is doing the work of judgment in the last days
and He's expressed lots of truths.
You just refuse to look into it.
Now disasters are upon us and you fear being cast out,
so it feels urgent.
But whose fault is that?
That's the result of ignorance and foolishness.
Xiangming,
you're always telling us to look into Eastern Lightning,
but I've told you so many times,
the pastors and elders all say it's heresy,
and the CCP defines it as a cult.
It's terribly oppressed and condemned by the Party.
It can't possibly be the true way.
That's true.
Why are you so obsessed with Eastern Lightning?
Xiangming,
your dad is right.
As believers, we should listen to the elders
and we'll be raptured eventually.
We can't look into Eastern Lightning.
Raptured eventually?
The disasters are already upon us, but you still haven't woken up.
You're just being foolish!
Why do you always listen to pastors and elders?
Why don't you listen to the Lord Jesus?
The Lord Jesus?
The Eastern Lightning people welcomed the Lord a long time ago
and they're bearing witness to Almighty God's work.
We're doomed if we don't look into it.
Yeah.
Dad, Mom, Xiangming is right.
We have to go by the Lord Jesus' words to welcome the Lord.
The clergy keep saying that the Lord is going to come back,
but no one in the entire religious world has welcomed Him.
Only Eastern Lightning testifies that He's returned.
If we don't even look into it,
then we're sure to fall into the disasters and die.
Then not even the clergy will be able to save us.
That's right.
Eastern Lightning has been testifying that the Lord has returned.
They've suffered decades of Communist Party suppression and arrests
but they keep sharing the gospel,
and as the kingdom gospel spreads across the world,
it's becoming more vibrant.
This has to be the work of God!
Dad, Mom,
we can't keep being misled and held back by the clergy.
We have to break through their net and investigate Eastern Lightning.
That's the only way.
He's right.
Shoudao, I think that Xiangming is right.
How about we just check it out?
Check it out?
We can't just wait around to die.
There's no need for that.
Think about it.
If Eastern Lightning were the true way,
why wouldn't most of the clergy follow it?
If Almighty God were the Lord Jesus returned,
why wouldn't He just wipe out the Communist Party?
Instead, He's being oppressed and chased all over by the Party.
Dad, you have got it all wrong.
And how is that?
When the Lord Jesus appeared and worked,
wasn't He persecuted and arrested by the government and the Pharisees?
His disciples and followers also had to go on the run,
but they still spread His gospel to the ends of the earth.
Would you really say the Lord's appearance and work wasn't the true way?
Of course not.
The Communist Party and the religious world, the largest forces in the world right now,
are also the most evil forces against God,
but they haven't defeated Eastern Lightning.
What does that mean?
Anything from God will thrive and no force can ever topple it.
Exactly.
I think Eastern Lightning is the work of God,
otherwise it wouldn't be so vibrant.
Yes, that's true!
Xiangming, the clergy have been telling us
that anyone who accepts Eastern Lightning will be kicked out.
I don't think we should look into it.
The Party and the religious world condemn it,
and everyone believes what they have to say.
Even if Eastern Lightning is the true way,
to walk that path would be too difficult for us.
We'd definitely be condemned and spurned by the clergy.
Dad,
our path following the Lord Jesus is the path of the cross.
Can we follow Him if we fear death?
If Almighty God is the Lord returned, we have to accept Him.
Even if we're condemned and expelled by the religious world,
we can't be rejected by the Lord.
These words are so true.
Those who accept and follow Christ
but lack courage and are afraid of death don't pass muster.
It was prophesied in Revelation that the fearful can't enter the kingdom of heaven.
So, can't you see
that the words "Eastern Lightning"
are actually from one of the Lord Jesus' prophecies?
What prophecy is that?
So doesn't Eastern Lightning fulfill exactly what the Lord prophesied?
So there are mysteries within Eastern Lightning.
Definitely.
It looks like we really should investigate it.
Hey, how about we read some of Almighty God's words online?
There's a lot online.
I'll play you guys a video I found.
It's a reading of Almighty God's words.
You'll love it.
Okay!
Come on.
Shoudao, let's just listen and see what this Eastern Lightning is all about.
You don't already know what the clergy have been saying about them?
Do you know the Bible better than the pastor?
If you're not interested, no problem.
I'll listen!
You …
Mom, here you go.
Have a seat.
Mom, don't you think this is the voice of God?
Yeah, this is wonderful.
It's really not bad.
It seems to bear testimony to God.
We really should look into it.
You're right.
I honestly feel the same way.
And lately, I've been reading lots of Almighty God's words online,
and I've seen how powerful and authoritative they are.
They open up so many mysteries of the Bible.
I feel like this is God's voice,
that Almighty God is the Lord Jesus returned.
Xiangming,
Almighty God's words are special,
but to say that He's the Lord Jesus returned,
that's just not possible.
I haven't seen the Lord Jesus come down on a cloud,
so I can't believe any testimony to Almighty God.
Dad—
The pastors and elders say that they believe in a human being.
Xiangming, Almighty God's words are great,
but He's a person.
How can you say He's the Lord returned?
Mom, could a person speak with such power and authority?
Could a person express the truth?
Of course not.
Only God is the truth.
So many truths are expressed, this has to be the Lord's appearance.
Seeing Him as a person and not hearing God's voice is the easiest way to go wrong.
When the Lord Jesus appeared and worked,
didn't the Jewish Pharisees condemn Him as just a human being?
They crucified Him, nailed him to the cross,
and were ultimately cursed by God.
True.
We should all try to learn from their lesson.
Yeah.
Dad, Mom,
let's read some of Almighty God's words.
We'll be able to tell if He really is the Lord returned.
Yeah. We really should try reading Almighty God's words.
Yeah.
Dad, let's read some of Almighty God's words—
Xiangming, the pastors and elders have said that …
- Hi, Xinjing. - Hi Auntie.
- Come on in! - Hi there, everybody.
Hi, Huizhen.
- It's been ages. - Yeah, it really has.
Huizhen,
you must've learned a lot these past months when you've been out sharing the gospel.
I've learned so much.
It was a wonderful trip!
You learned a lot?
Yeah.
You have to tell us about it.
Alright.
- Here, have a seat. - Yeah, sit down.
Thank you.
Yeah, sit down and tell us all about it.
Well, I have the most exciting news!
I've welcomed the Lord!
The Lord Jesus really has returned!
Have you joined Eastern Lightning?
Yes.
Eastern Lightning is the Lord Jesus' appearance and work.
Aunt Huizhen,
you know, we've been looking into Eastern Lightning.
Really?
Yes.
Well, what do you think?
Huizhen,
how can you be sure Almighty God is the appearance of the Lord Jesus?
I've been in contact with their church members
and we've read lots of Almighty God's words.
I could tell that Almighty God's words really were all the truth.
Every word went straight to my heart
and got rid of some of my notions and imaginations.
They also shared some testimony that was utterly convincing for me.
I eventually became completely sure that Almighty God is the Lord Jesus returned.
Read His words to see for yourself.
That will prove it to you beyond a shadow of a doubt!
The Bible prophesies
that the Lord will come on a cloud,
that He'll come back the way He left.
When the Lord returns it should be descending on a cloud.
But Eastern Lightning says
that Almighty God is the Lord Jesus returned.
That is different from what the Bible prophesies.
It is.
Almighty God is clearly just a person.
How could you say He's the Lord Jesus returned?
I can't accept that.
Yeah, Huizhen,
Almighty God is a regular person.
How could you say He's the Lord returned?
That's right.
Shoudao, Shufen,
there's a mystery deep within this.
Why did the Lord Jesus say that God's sheep hear His voice?
That's how you can tell the wise virgins from the foolish virgins.
What do you mean?
Without reading Almighty God's words, how could you hope to hear God's voice?
The religious clergy, those Pharisees,
say a few things to condemn God's appearance and work,
and you're taken in?
When looking into the true way,
should we go by the clergy's words or by the Lord Jesus' words?
The Lord Jesus' words, of course.
That's right.
Yeah,
and didn't the Lord Jesus look like a regular person?
The incarnation is such a mystery.
Without the Holy Spirit's enlightenment, no one could recognize God in the flesh.
Yes.
When the Lord Jesus appeared and worked,
He asked His disciples,
They all said that He was a prophet.
Only Peter said
The Lord Jesus said that was the Holy Spirit's enlightenment.
Without that happening,
no one could have recognized God in the flesh.
That's right.
When the Pharisees heard the Lord Jesus speak,
they acknowledged its power and authority,
but they couldn't hear God's voice.
So the Lord forsook them.
That's why we have to learn to hear God's voice.
We cannot be misled by the clergy, the Pharisees.
Exactly.
But how could the pastors and elders be Pharisees?
It is in line with the Bible to listen to the clergy.
On what basis can you claim that the Lord has returned in the flesh in the last days?
The Bible prophesied that the Lord would come incarnate in the last days.
It was prophesied?
Yes.
And in Luke 17:24-25 it says,
And can you tell me what's stated in these prophecies?
The Son of man coming.
It's the Son of man!
That's right.
What does "the Son of man" refer to?
God becoming flesh incarnate.
His spiritual body couldn't be called the Son of man, right?
So the prophecies of the Son of man were about the incarnation.
Yes.
From the outside,
He looks just like a regular person since God incarnates as the Son of man,
which is why people resist and condemn Him based on their notions.
In the last days, Almighty God incarnate does the work of judgment.
He expresses all truths that save and cleanse mankind.
The Communist Party and religious world's mad resistance,
condemnation and oppression of Him
fulfill the Lord Jesus' prophecy:
Amen!
Yeah. This fellowship is entirely in line with the facts, with the Bible.
Hey, Shoudao, it looks like the Lord really will return in the flesh.
The Lord Jesus is the only God incarnate.
All Christians know that simple fact.
Huizhen, I just can't accept that Almighty God is God incarnate.
All the church clergy say that Almighty God is a regular person,
that He couldn't possibly be the incarnation.
The fellowship has been so clear. How can you not understand?
We must base our exploration of the true way on the Lord Jesus's words,
and stop listening to the pastors' and elders' misleading drivel.
She's right, Dad.
Hey, tell us, Huizhen,
how did you become certain that Almighty God is the appearance of God incarnate?
Yes, Shufen, this is a really important question.
Let's read some of Almighty God's words on that.
Great.
Shoudao.
Fine, go ahead.
Here, I'd like to read it.
Start here.
Yeah! That's really well put.
The Lord Jesus also said,
Amen!
This is the path to recognizing God incarnate.
Yes.
Then what's written here is the key.
Exactly.
God incarnate's work and appearance in the last days
is mainly to express truths for the work of judgment.
Christ looks like a person
but His essence is divine and He can express the truth.
That's why Christ is the way, the truth, and the life.
He can express the truth, so He has to be God's appearance.
He's just the same as the Lord Jesus.
He is God in the flesh without a doubt.
So no matter how average Christ may physically appear,
as long as He can express the truth, judge, cleanse and save mankind,
then that is Christ; that is the Savior.
Anyone who can't express the truth to save mankind is not Christ.
Let's think about it.
When the Lord Jesus appeared and worked,
He was in the flesh, not in His spiritual body.
Yes.
So why then did we refer to Him as Christ, as God in the flesh?
He was crucified for mankind, doing the work of redemption.
He also revealed mysteries of the kingdom of heaven
and gave us the way of confession and repentance.
Yes.
We can tell that the Lord Jesus really was God incarnate
based on the evidence of His work and His words.
No one could say that we have faith in a person.
You're right about that.
Huizhen,
on what do you base your testimony that Almighty God is God in the flesh?
On Almighty God's work and words, of course.
Almighty God is doing the work of judging and cleansing mankind in the last days,
building on the Lord Jesus' redemption work.
He expresses all truths that fully save mankind
and He's told us about the mysteries of God's management plan,
God's will, God's disposition, and His requirements for mankind.
He's judged and exposed the root of darkness and evil in the world
and the truth of man's corruption.
He's also given us the path to be freed from sin
so that we can be cleansed and ultimately saved.
These are all things we'd never heard before.
That's true!
These truths expressed by Almighty God
are all things God never said in the Age of Law or the Age of Grace.
This fulfills the Lord Jesus' prophecy:
Amen!
And in 1 Peter 4:17 it says,
Amen!
That's why I'm totally certain
that Almighty God truly is God incarnate,
He is the Lord Jesus returned.
Thanks be to the Lord!
Yeah, Shoudao,
Almighty God has expressed all these truths.
He probably is the Lord Jesus returned.
I don't know if Almighty God is or isn't the Lord Jesus returned
and I won't accept it unless the religious world acknowledges Him as such.
Without most of the clergy agreeing to that,
I will not accept it.
- You … - Dad!
Do you believe in God or in the clergy?
Are they the ones who can take us into God's kingdom?
We can't even be sure if they'll get in—
That's enough!
I'm going to go along with them.
I simply don't believe that God would come and reject the entire religious community.
Shoudao.
No. You …
- Dad! - Shoudao!
Why are you still insisting on clinging to the clergy?
Is the pastor your Lord, then?
Dad!
What an old fogey!
My goodness, he sure is stubborn!
He just blindly believes the Pharisees, the clergy.
It fulfills the Lord Jesus' words:
Those who follow the Lord Jesus on the path of the cross are few!
Indeed.
I saw his true face today.
He's no believer in the Lord Jesus.
He's a believer in the clergy.
Huizhen,
let's just forget about him and go back to fellowshiping.
Huizhen,
you were just saying Almighty God does the work of judging and cleansing people.
Tell us more about that.
Yes, tell me this.
If our sins are forgiven through our faith in the Lord,
shouldn't God take us straight into His kingdom when He returns in the last days?
Why would He need to do another step to judge and cleanse us?
Yeah.
Almighty God's words are really quite clear on this.
Look.
Here.
Let me read it.
Huizhen,
so this means that we've been redeemed through faith,
but we haven't been freed from sin or cleansed,
so we can't get into heaven?
Exactly.
Let's keep reading now.
- I'll read this time. - Sure.
Yeah! This makes it so clear.
So the Lord Jesus just did the work of redemption
while Almighty God has come to judge and cleanse mankind.
That's right.
No wonder I'm always praying and confessing but can never change after all these years.
I just keep lying and sinning.
- Now I finally understand why. - That's just it.
The Lord Jesus' work of redemption only forgave us of our sins
but it didn't resolve our sinful satanic nature that's against God.
Satanic nature?
Yes.
That means things like arrogance, deceit, evil, and detesting the truth.
We're all controlled by these things
and we can't help but lie, sin, rebel against and resist God all the time.
No wonder we're always sinning and confessing, confessing and sinning,
and we can't escape from sin.
This is the root of it!
Yes.
Almighty God expresses the truth and does the work of judgment
to resolve our satanic nature
and help us escape the bonds of sin so we can truly obey and worship God.
Then we can be fully gained by God and enter His kingdom.
So the issue of sinning can be resolved by accepting Almighty God's judgment.
That's wonderful!
It is.
Everyone in The Church of Almighty God has some real experience of this.
They can bear witness that after they're judged and chastised by God's words,
they can see the truth of how Satan's corrupted them
and they gain understanding of God's righteous disposition.
They develop reverence for God
and can truly detest themselves and truly repent.
You'll see if you read some of their testimonies online.
What kinds of testimonies are there?
Shufen, there are so many.
There are ones about truly repenting after the judgment and chastisement of God's words,
about practicing the truth and being an honest person,
about obeying God through trials and refinement,
about gaining true self-knowledge through being pruned and dealt with,
about standing firm through the great red dragon's persecution,
shaming Satan and being an overcomer,
about knowing God's righteous disposition and coming to truly love God,
and so much more.
Seeing all of them completely convinced me.
How could there be so many wonderful testimonies if this weren't the work of God?
Yes.
They have accepted Almighty God's judgment, been cleansed and changed,
becoming overcomers!
That's so blessed!
Yes.
People who accept Eastern Lightning are made into overcomers,
but in the midst of the disasters we've been blindly fumbling along.
It's such a shame!
Almighty God is the Lord Jesus returned and if we don't accept Him right away,
then we're just waiting to die!
- Absolutely. - Yeah.
Almighty God's words contain all the truths that cleanse and save mankind.
It's like a ray of light rising up from the East that has now shone into the West.
More and more people who long for God's appearance
are seeking and investigating Almighty God's work and words,
which fulfills what the Lord Jesus said:
Amen!
Yeah. Almighty God's work and words are the lightning from the East!
God's work is so practical!
It is.
We'll miss our chance to be raptured if we don't decide to look into this.
You're right.
The clergy really have done a number on us!
Believing them really is foolish and blind.
They're just leading us right into the disasters!
I can't listen to them anymore.
I have to accept Almighty God right away!
Thanks be to God!
How about we read more of Almighty God's words?
Alright.
Let's have a seat then.
Okay.
