Words of Almighty God of the Last Days

Nowadays, those who pursue and those who do not are two types of people, whose destinations are different. Those who pursue knowing the truth and practicing the truth are the ones to whom God will bring salvation. Those who do not know the true way are demons and enemies; they are the descendants of the archangel and will be objects of destruction. Even those who are pious believers of a vague God—are they not also demons? People who possess good consciences but do not accept the true way are demons; their essence is one of resistance to God. Those who do not accept the true way are those who resist God, and even if such people endure much suffering, they will still be destroyed. All those who are unwilling to forsake the world, who cannot bear to part with their parents, and who cannot bear to rid themselves of their own enjoyments of the flesh are rebellious against God, and all will be objects of destruction. Anyone who does not believe in God incarnate is a demon and, moreover, will be destroyed. Those who believe but do not practice the truth, those who do not believe in the incarnation of God, and those who do not at all believe in God’s existence will all be objects of destruction. All those who can remain are people who have undergone the suffering of refinement and stood firm; these are people who have truly gone through trials. Anyone who does not recognize God is an enemy; that is, anyone who does not recognize God’s incarnation—whether or not they are inside or outside this stream—is an antichrist! Who are Satans, who are demons, and who are God’s enemies if not resisters who do not believe in God? Are they not those people who are rebellious against God? Are they not those who claim to have faith, yet who have no truth? Are they not those who merely seek to obtain blessings while being unable to bear witness for God? You still mingle with those demons today and treat them with conscience and love, but doesn’t this amount to extending kindness toward Satan? Are you not in league with demons? If people have made it to this point and are still unable to distinguish between good and evil, and continue to blindly be loving and merciful without any desire to seek God’s heart or being able in any way to take God’s heart as their own, then their outcomes will be all the more wretched. Anyone who does not believe in the God in the flesh is an enemy of God. If you can treat God’s enemies with conscience and love, are you not devoid of a sense of justice? If you are compatible with those which I detest and which I oppose, and still treat them with love or show them personal feelings, then are you not rebellious? Are you not intentionally resisting God? Does such a person actually possess the truth? If people treat God’s enemies with conscience, demons with love, and Satan with mercy, then are they not intentionally disrupting God’s work? Those people who believe only in Jesus and do not believe in God incarnate during the last days, as well as those who verbally claim to believe in God incarnate but do evil, are all antichrists, without even mentioning those who do not even believe in God. All these people will be objects of destruction.

—The Word, Vol. 1. The Appearance and Work of God. God and Man Will Enter Into Rest Together

God saves those who can come to life, who can see God’s salvation, who can be loyal to God and who are willing to seek God. He saves those who believe in God’s incarnation and in His appearance. Some people can come to life, and some people cannot; this depends on whether their nature can be saved or not. Many people have heard a lot of God’s words yet do not understand God’s intentions, and are still incapable of putting them into practice. Such people are incapable of living out any truth and also deliberately disturb God’s work. They are incapable of doing any work for God, they cannot expend themselves for Him, and they also secretly spend the church’s money and eat in the house of God for free. These people are dead and they will not be saved. God saves all those who are amid His work, but there is a portion of people who cannot receive His salvation; only a small number can receive His salvation. This is because most people have been corrupted too deeply and have become the dead, and they are beyond salvation; they have been totally exploited by Satan, and they are too malicious in their nature. That minority of people is also unable to submit to God fully. They are not those who have been absolutely loyal to God since the beginning, or who have had the utmost love for God since the beginning; rather, they have become submissive to God because of His work of conquest, they see God because of His supreme love, there are changes in their disposition because of God’s righteous disposition, and they come to know God because of His work, His work which is both practical and normal. Without this work of God, no matter how good these people are, they would still be of Satan, they would still be of death, and they would still be dead. The fact that these people can today receive God’s salvation is purely because they are willing to cooperate with God.

—The Word, Vol. 1. The Appearance and Work of God. Are You Someone Who Has Come to Life?

God’s salvation of mankind is a salvation of those who love the truth, a salvation of the part of them with will and resolve, and the part of them that yearns for truth and justice in their hearts. A person’s resolve is the part of them in their heart that yearns for justice, goodness, and truth, and is possessed of conscience. God saves this part of people, and through it, He changes their corrupt disposition, so that they may understand and gain the truth, so that their corruption may be cleansed, and their life disposition may be transformed. If you do not have these things within you, you cannot be saved. If, within you, there is no love for the truth or aspiration for justice and light; if, whenever you encounter evil things, you have neither the will to cast them off nor the resolve to suffer hardship; if, moreover, your conscience is numb; if your faculty for receiving truth is also benumbed, and you are not perceptive of the truth or of events that arise; and if you are undiscerning in all matters, and in the face of whatever befalls you, you are unable to seek the truth to resolve problems and are constantly negative, then there is no way for you to be saved. Such a person has nothing to recommend them, nothing that is worth God working on. Their conscience is numb, their mind is muddied, and they do not love the truth, nor yearn for justice deep in their heart, and, no matter how clearly or transparently God speaks of the truth, they have not the slightest reaction; it is as if their heart is already dead. Are things not over for them? A person with a breath left in them may be saved by artificial respiration, but, if they have already died and their soul has left, artificial respiration will do nothing. If, when confronted with problems and difficulties, a person shrinks back and avoids them, they do not seek the truth at all, and they choose to be negative and slack in their work, then they are revealed for what they really are. Such people have no experiential testimony at all. They are just freeloaders, dead weight, they are useless in God’s house, and they are utterly doomed.

—The Word, Vol. 3. The Discourses of Christ of the Last Days. Part Three

While doing His work of salvation, God saves every single person who can be saved to the greatest extent possible, and does not discard any of them, for the purpose of God’s work is to save man. All those who, during the time of God’s salvation of man, are unable to achieve changes in their dispositions—as well as all those who are unable to submit to God completely—will become objects for punishment. This stage of work—the work of words—unlocks for people all of the Word that they do not understand, as well as all of the mysteries that are not understood by them. This allows them to understand the intentions of God and God’s requirements of them, and to have the prerequisites to put God’s words into practice and achieve changes in their dispositions. God uses only words to do His work and does not punish people for being a little rebellious. This is because now is the time of the work of salvation, and if people were punished whenever they were rebellious, no one would have the opportunity to be saved, and everyone would be punished and fall into Hades. The purpose of using words to judge man is to allow him to know himself and submit to God; it is not to punish him with such judgment. During the time of the work of words, many people will expose their rebelliousness and defiance, as well as their lack of submission toward the incarnate God. Nevertheless, He will not punish all these people as a result, but instead will only cast aside those who are corrupt to the core and who cannot be saved. He will give their flesh to Satan, and, in a few cases, terminate their flesh. Those remaining will continue to follow and experience being pruned. If, while following, these people still are unable to accept being pruned, and become more and more degenerate, then they will have lost their chance for salvation. Each person who has accepted being conquered by God’s words will have several opportunities for salvation; in God’s salvation of each person He will give them slack to the greatest extent possible. In other words, they will be shown the utmost leniency. As long as people turn back from the wrong path, and as long as they can repent, God will give them opportunities to obtain His salvation. When humans first rebel against God, He has no desire to strike them down; rather, He does all He can to save them. If someone really has no room for salvation, then God will forsake them. The reason God is slow to punish someone is that He wants to save everyone who can be saved. He just uses words to judge, enlighten, and guide people; He does not use a rod to strike them down. Using words to bring humans salvation is the purpose and significance of the final stage of work.

—The Word, Vol. 1. The Appearance and Work of God. You Should Put Aside the Blessings of Status and Understand God’s Intention to Bring Salvation to Man

You ought to know that God likes those who are honest. God has an essence of faithfulness, and so His words can always be trusted; His actions, furthermore, are faultless and unquestionable. This is why God likes those who are absolutely honest with Him. Honesty means giving your heart to God, not being false toward God in anything, being open with Him in all things, never hiding the facts, not trying to deceive those above you and hide things from those below you, and not doing things that are merely attempts to curry favor with God. In short, to be honest is to be pure in your actions and words, and to deceive neither God nor man. What I say is very simple, but to you it is doubly arduous. Many people would rather be cast down to hell than speak and act honestly. Little wonder that I have other treatment in store for those who are dishonest. Of course, I know full well how difficult it is for you to be honest people. Because you are all so “clever,” so good at measuring the hearts of noble people based on your own mean mindset, this makes My work much simpler. And since you each hug your secrets to your bosom, well then, I shall send you, one by one, into disaster to be “schooled” by fire, so that thereafter you may become dead set on your belief in My words. Ultimately, I shall wrest from your mouth the words “God is a faithful God,” whereupon you shall beat upon your breast and lament, “The heart of man is so deceitful!” What will be your state of mind at this time? Surely you won’t be as carried away with pride as you are now! And much less will you be as “profound and abstruse” as you are now. In the presence of God, some people are all prim and proper, and especially “well-behaved,” yet they bare their fangs and brandish their claws in the presence of the Spirit. Would you number such people among the ranks of the honest? If you are a hypocrite, someone who is skilled in “interpersonal relations,” then I say that you are definitely someone who tries to trifle with God. If your words are riddled with excuses and valueless justifications, then I say that you are someone who is loath to put the truth into practice. If you have many private matters that are difficult to speak of, if you are highly averse to laying bare your secrets—your difficulties—before others to seek the way of the light, then I say that you are someone who will have great difficulty attaining salvation, and who will have difficulty emerging from the darkness. If you really enjoy seeking the way of the truth, then you are someone who dwells always in the light. If you are very glad to be a service-doer in the house of God, working diligently and conscientiously in obscurity, always giving and never taking, then I say that you are a loyal saint, because you seek no reward and are simply being an honest person. If you are willing to be candid, if you are willing to expend your all, if you are able to sacrifice your life for God and stand firm in your testimony, if you are honest to the point where you know only to satisfy God and not to consider yourself or take for yourself, then I say that such people are those who are nourished in the light and who shall live forever in the kingdom. You should know whether there is true faith and true loyalty within you, whether you have a record of suffering for God, and whether you have absolute submission to God. If you do not possess these, then there remains within you rebelliousness, deceit, greed, and complaint. As your heart is not honest, you have never been appreciated by God and never lived in the light. How one’s fate will work out in the end hinges upon whether they have an honest and blood-red heart, and whether they have a pure soul. If you are someone who is very dishonest, someone with a heart of great malice, someone with an unclean soul, then you are sure to end up in the place where man is punished, as is written in the record of your fate.

—The Word, Vol. 1. The Appearance and Work of God. Three Admonitions

God saves people who have been corrupted by Satan and have corrupt dispositions, not perfect people without flaws or those who live in a vacuum. Some people, upon revealing a little corruption, think, “I have resisted God again. I have believed in God for many years and still haven’t changed. Surely God doesn’t want me anymore!” They then resign themselves to hopelessness and become unwilling to pursue the truth. What do you think of this attitude? They themselves have given up on the truth, and believe that God no longer wants them. Isn’t this a misunderstanding of God? Such negativity is the easiest way to be exploited by Satan. Satan mocks them, saying, “You fool! God wants to save you, but you are still suffering like this! So, just give up! If you give up, God will eliminate you, which is just like Him handing you over to me. I will torment you to death!” Once Satan succeeds, the consequences will be unthinkable. Consequently, no matter what difficulties or negativity a person faces, they must not give up. They should seek the truth for solutions, and they must not passively wait. During the process of life’s growth and the course of human salvation, people may sometimes take the wrong path, deviate, or have times where they exhibit states and behaviors of immaturity in life. They may have times of weakness and negativity, times when they say the wrong things, stumble, or experience failure. All of this is normal in the eyes of God. He does not hold it against them. Some people think their corruption is too deep, and that they can never satisfy God, so they feel sorrowful and hate themselves. Those who have a repentant heart like this are precisely the ones that God saves. On the other hand, those who believe they do not need God’s salvation, who think they are good people and there is nothing wrong with them, usually are not the ones God saves. What is it that I’m conveying to you here? Whoever understands, speak up. (We have to properly handle our revelations of corruption and focus on practicing the truth, and then we will receive God’s salvation. If we consistently misunderstand God, we will easily resign ourselves to hopelessness.) You must have faith and say, “Though I am weak now, and I have stumbled and failed. I will grow, and one day I will understand the truth, satisfy God, and achieve salvation.” You must have this resolve. No matter what setbacks, difficulties, failures, or trip-ups you encounter, you must not be negative. You must know what kind of people God saves. Moreover, if you feel that you are not yet qualified to be saved by God, or if there are occasions where you are in states which God loathes or is displeased with, or if there was a period of time when you behaved very poorly, and God didn’t accept you, or God spurned you, it doesn’t matter. Now you know, and it is not too late. As long as you repent, God will give you a chance.

—The Word, Vol. 3. The Discourses of Christ of the Last Days. In Believing in God, What Is Most Important Is to Practice and Experience His Words

Now do you truly know why you believe in Me? Do you truly know the purpose and significance of My work? Do you truly know your duty? Do you truly know what My testimony is? If you merely believe in Me, yet there is no sign of My glory or testimony in you, then I have long ago eliminated you. As for those who understand everything, they are even more thorns in My eye, and in My house, they are nothing more than obstacles in My way, they are tares to be completely winnowed out in My work, they have no use whatsoever, hold no weight at all, and I have long detested them. Often does My wrath befall all who are bereft of testimony, and never does My rod stray from them. I have long since turned them over to the hands of the evil one; they are utterly bereft of My blessings. When the day comes, their chastisement will be more grievous even than that of foolish, obstinate women. Today, I only do the work that is My duty to do, binding all the wheat into bundles, together along with those tares. This is My work today. Those tares shall all be winnowed out in the time of My winnowing, then the grains of wheat shall be gathered into the storehouse, and those tares that have been winnowed out shall be placed in the fire to be burned to ashes. My work now is merely to bind all men into bundles; that is, to utterly conquer them. Then shall I begin winnowing to reveal the outcomes of all men.

—The Word, Vol. 1. The Appearance and Work of God. What Do You Know of Faith?

People who genuinely believe in God are those who are willing to put God’s word into practice and are willing to practice the truth. People who are truly able to stand firm in their testimony to God are also those who are willing to put His word into practice and can genuinely stand on the side of the truth. People who engage in crooked and unjust practices are all devoid of the truth, and they all bring shame to God. Those who cause disputes in the church are Satan’s servants, they are the embodiment of Satan. Such people are so malicious. Those who have no discernment and are incapable of standing on the side of the truth are all people who harbor evil intentions and tarnish the truth. They are more archetypal representatives of Satan. They are beyond redemption, and shall naturally be eliminated. God’s family does not allow those who do not practice the truth to remain, nor does it allow to remain those who deliberately dismantle the church. However, now is not the time to do the work of expulsion; such people will simply be revealed and eliminated in the end. No more useless work is to be expended on these people; those who are Satans cannot stand on the side of the truth, whereas those who seek the truth can. People who do not practice the truth are unworthy of hearing the Word of the truth and unworthy of bearing witness to the truth. The truth is simply not for their ears; rather, it is directed at those who practice it. Before every person’s outcome is revealed, those who disturb the church and disrupt God’s work will first be left aside for now, to be dealt with later. Once the work is complete, these people will each be revealed, and then they will be eliminated. For the time being, while the truth is being provided, they will be ignored. When the whole truth is revealed to humanity, those people should be eliminated; that will be the time when all people will be sorted according to their kind. The petty tricks of those without discernment will lead to their destruction at the hands of the evil, they will be lured away by them, never to return. And such treatment is what they deserve, because they do not love the truth, because they are incapable of standing on the side of the truth, because they follow evil people and stand on the side of evil people, and because they collude with evil people and resist God. They know perfectly well that what those evil people reveal is evil, yet they harden their hearts and turn their backs on the truth to follow them. Are these people who do not practice the truth but who do destructive and abominable things not all committing evil? Although there are those among them who style themselves as kings and others who follow them, is their nature of resisting God not the same? What excuse can they have to claim that God does not save them? What excuse can they have to claim that God is not righteous? Is it not their own evil that is destroying them? Is it not their own rebelliousness that is dragging them down into hell? People who practice the truth will, in the end, be saved and made perfect because of the truth. Those who do not practice the truth will, in the end, bring destruction upon themselves because of the truth. These are the outcomes that await those who practice the truth and those who do not.

—The Word, Vol. 1. The Appearance and Work of God. A Warning to Those Who Do Not Practice the Truth

All those who do not seek submission to God in their faith are people who oppose God. God asks that people seek the truth, that they thirst for His words, eat and drink His words, and put them into practice, all so that they may achieve submission to God. If that is your true intention, then God will surely exalt you, and will surely be gracious toward you. This is undoubtable and unchangeable. If your intention is not to submit to God, and you have other aims, then all that you say and do—even your prayers before God, and going even further, your every move—will be in opposition to Him. Even if your words are gentle and you are mild-mannered, even if your every move and expression seem proper to others, as if you were a submissive person, when it comes to your intentions and your views about faith in God, every one of your actions is in opposition to God, it is doing evil. People who appear as obedient as sheep, but whose hearts harbor evil intentions, are wolves in sheep’s clothing. They directly offend God, and God will not spare a single one of them. The Holy Spirit will reveal each and every one of them and show everybody that all those who are hypocrites will, with certainty, be spurned by the Holy Spirit. Worry not: God will reckon with and dispose of every last one of them in turn.

If you are unable to accept the new light from God, and cannot understand all that God does today and you do not seek it, or else you doubt it, pass judgment on it, or scrutinize and analyze it, then you have no mind to submit to God. If, when the present light appears, you still treasure the light of yesterday and oppose God’s new work, then you are nothing more than an absurd one—you are one of those who deliberately oppose God. The key to submitting to God is accepting the new light, and being able to accept it and put it into practice. This alone is true submission. Those who don’t have the resolve to yearn for God are incapable of intentionally submitting to Him, and can only oppose God as a result of their satisfaction with the status quo. That man cannot submit to God is because he is possessed by what came before. The things that came before have produced all manner of notions and various imaginings about God in man, and these have become the image of god in his mind. Thus, what he believes in is his own notions, and the standards of his own imagination. If you measure the God who does practical work today against the god of your own imagination, then your faith comes from Satan, and is tainted by your own preferences—God does not want this kind of faith. Regardless of how lofty their credentials, and regardless of their dedication—even if they have devoted a lifetime of efforts to His work, and have martyred themselves—God does not approve of anyone with faith such as this. He merely bestows upon them a little grace and allows them to enjoy it for a time. People such as this are incapable of putting the truth into practice. The Holy Spirit does not work within them, and God will eliminate each of them in turn. Young and old alike, those who do not submit to God in their faith and have the wrong intentions are those who oppose and disrupt, and such people will unquestionably be eliminated by God. Those who are without the slightest submission to God, who merely acknowledge His name, and have some sense of God’s kindness and loveliness, yet do not keep pace with the steps of the Holy Spirit, and do not submit to the present work and words of the Holy Spirit—such people live amid the grace of God, and will not be gained or made perfect by Him.

—The Word, Vol. 1. The Appearance and Work of God. In Your Faith in God You Should Submit to God

You must know what kind of people I desire; those who are filthy are not permitted to enter into the kingdom, those who are filthy are not permitted to defile the holy ground. Though you may have done much work, and worked for many years, in the end if you are still deplorably filthy, then it will be intolerable to the law of Heaven that you wish to enter My kingdom! From the creation of the world until today, never have I offered such easy access to My kingdom to those who curry favor with Me. This is a heavenly rule, and no one can break it! You must pursue life. Today, those who will be made perfect are the same kind as Peter: They are those who pursue changes in their own disposition, and who are willing to bear testimony to God and fulfill their duty as a created being. Only people such as this will be made perfect. If you only look to rewards, and do not pursue changing your own life disposition, then all your efforts will be in vain—this is an unalterable truth!

—The Word, Vol. 1. The Appearance and Work of God. Success or Failure Depends on the Path One Walks

Man will be fully made complete in the Age of Kingdom. After the work of conquest, man will be subjected to refinement and tribulation. Those who can overcome and stand firm in their testimony during this tribulation are the ones who will ultimately be made complete; they are the overcomers. During this tribulation, man is required to accept this refinement, and this refinement is the last instance of God’s work. It is the last time that man will be refined prior to the conclusion of all the work of God’s management, and all those who follow God must accept this final test, and they must accept this last refinement. Those who are in the midst of the tribulation are without the work of the Holy Spirit and the guidance of God, but those who have been truly conquered and who truly pursue God will ultimately stand fast; they are the ones who are possessed of humanity, and who truly love God. No matter what God does, these victorious ones will not be bereft of the visions and will still put the truth into practice without losing their testimony. They are the ones who will finally emerge from the great tribulation. Even if those who just muddle along can still freeload today, no one is able to escape the final tribulation, and no one can escape the final test. For those who overcome, such tribulation is a tremendous refinement; but for those who just muddle along, it is the work of utter elimination. No matter how they are tried, the allegiance of those who have God in their hearts remains unchanged; but for those who do not have God in their hearts, once the work of God is not advantageous to their flesh, they change their view of God, and even depart from God. Such are those who will not stand fast in the end, who only seek God’s blessings and have no desire whatsoever to expend themselves for God and dedicate themselves to Him. Such base people will all be “driven out” when God’s work comes to an end, and no mercy will be shown to them at all. Those without humanity absolutely do not possess true love for God. When the environment is comfortable, or they have something to gain, they are totally obedient toward God, but once their desires are compromised or eventually dashed, they immediately rise up in revolt. Even in the space of just one night, they go from a smiling, “kind-hearted” person to a savage-looking executioner, unexpectedly treating their benefactor of yesterday as their mortal enemy, without rhyme or reason. If these evil demons who kill without batting an eye are not cast out, will they not become a serious underlying threat? It is not the case that once the work of conquest is concluded, the work of saving man comes to its full completion. Although the work of conquest has come to an end, the work of purifying man has not; only once man has been wholly purified, once those who truly submit to God have been made complete, and once those disguisers who are without God in their hearts have been cleared out, will the work be finished. Those who do not satisfy God in the final stage of His work will be completely eliminated, and those who are eliminated are of devils. As they are incapable of satisfying God, they are rebellious against God, and even though these people follow God today, this does not prove that they are those who will finally remain. In the words that “those who follow God to the end will receive salvation,” the meaning of “follow” is to stand firm in the midst of tribulation. Today, many believe that following God is easy, but when God’s work is about to end, you will know the true meaning of “follow.” Just because you are still able to follow God today after being conquered, this does not prove that you are one of those who will be made perfect. Those who are unable to endure the trials, who are incapable of being victorious amid tribulation will, ultimately, be incapable of standing fast, and so will be unable to follow God to the very end. Those who truly follow God are able to withstand their work being tested, whereas those who do not truly follow God are incapable of withstanding any of God’s trials. Sooner or later they will be expelled, while the overcomers will remain in the kingdom. Whether or not man truly seeks God can only be determined by testing his work, that is, by God’s trials, and has nothing to do with what man himself concludes. God does not reject any person lightly; all that He does can utterly convince man. He does not do anything that is invisible to man, or any work that cannot convince man. Whether man’s belief is true or not is proved by the facts and cannot be determined by man. That “wheat cannot be made into tares, and tares cannot be made into wheat” is without doubt. All those who truly love God will ultimately remain in the kingdom, and God will not treat anyone who truly loves Him poorly.

—The Word, Vol. 1. The Appearance and Work of God. God’s Work and Man’s Practice

Now, whether or not your pursuit has been effective is measured by what you currently possess. This is what is used to determine your outcome; this is to say, your outcome is revealed in the sacrifices you have made and the things you have done. Your outcome will be made known by your pursuit, your faith, and what you have done. Among all of you, there are many who are already beyond salvation, for today is the day of revealing people’s outcomes, and I will not be muddleheaded in My work; I will not lead those who are entirely beyond salvation into the next age. There will be a time when My work is finished. I shall not work on those stinking, spiritless corpses that cannot be saved at all; now are the last days of man’s salvation, and I will not do useless work. Do not rail against Heaven and earth—the end of the world is coming. It is inevitable. Things have come to this point, and there is nothing you as a human being can do to stop them; you cannot change things as you wish. Yesterday, you did not pay a price to pursue the truth and you were not devoted; today, the time has come, you are beyond salvation; and tomorrow, you will be eliminated, and there will be no leeway for your salvation. Even though My heart is mild and I am doing My utmost to save you, if you do not strive on your own behalf or give any thought for yourself, what does this have to do with Me? Those who think only of their flesh and who enjoy comfort; those who seem to believe but who do not really believe; those who engage in evil medicine and sorcery; those who are promiscuous and broken-down; those who steal sacrifices to Jehovah and His possessions; those who love bribes; those who dream idly of ascending to heaven; those who are haughty and conceited, who strive only for personal fame and gain; those who spread impertinent words; those who blaspheme God Himself; those who do nothing but make judgments against and slander God Himself; those who form cliques and seek independence; those who exalt themselves above God; those frivolous young, middle-aged and older men and women who are ensnared in licentiousness; those men and women who enjoy personal fame and gain and pursue personal status among others; those unrepentant people who are trapped in sin—are they not, all of them, beyond salvation? Licentiousness, sinfulness, evil medicine, sorcery, profanity, and impertinent words all run riot among you; the truth and the words of life are trampled in your midst, and the holy words are defiled among you. You Gentiles, bloated with filth and rebelliousness! What will your final outcome be? How can those who love the flesh, who commit sorcery of the flesh, and who are ensnared in licentious sin have the audacity to continue living! Do you not know that people such as you are maggots beyond salvation? What entitles you to demand this and that? To date, there has not been the slightest change in those who do not love the truth and only love the flesh—how can such people be saved? Those who do not love the way of life, who do not exalt God and bear testimony to Him, who scheme for the sake of their own status, who extol themselves—are they not still the same, even today? What is the value in saving them? Whether you can be saved does not depend on how great your seniority or how many years you have been working, and much less does it depend on how many credentials you have built up. Rather, it depends on whether your pursuit has borne fruit. You ought to know that those who are saved are the “trees” that bear fruit, not the trees with lush foliage and abundant flowers that yet yield no fruit. Even if you have spent many years wandering the streets, what does that matter? Where is your testimony? You have far less of a God-fearing heart than you do of a heart that loves yourself and is infatuated with your lustful desires—is this kind of person not a degenerate? How could they be a specimen and model for salvation? Your nature is incorrigible, you are possessed of too much rebelliousness, you are beyond salvation! Are such people not those that will be eliminated? Is the time when My work is finished not the time of the arrival of your last day? I have done so much work and spoken so many words among you—how much of it has truly entered your ears? How much of it have you ever submitted to? When My work ends, that will be the time when you stop opposing Me, when you stop standing against Me. As I work, you act against Me constantly; you never comply with My words. I do My work, and you do your own “work,” making your own little kingdom. You are nothing but a pack of foxes and dogs, doing everything in opposition to Me! You are constantly trying to bring those who offer you their undivided love into your embrace—where are your fearful hearts? Everything you do is deceitful! You have no submission or fear, and everything you do is deceitful and blasphemous! Can such people be saved? Men who are sexually immoral and lascivious always want to draw coquettish harlots to them for their own enjoyment. I absolutely will not save such sexually immoral demons. I hate you filthy demons, and your lasciviousness and coquettishness will plunge you into hell. What have you to say for yourselves? You filthy demons and evil spirits are repulsive! You are disgusting! How could such trash be saved? Can they who are ensnared in sin still be saved? Today, your hearts are not drawn to this truth, this way, and this life. Rather, they are drawn to sinfulness, and to money, status, fame, gain, the enjoyments of the flesh, and the beauty of men and the allure of women. How does that make you qualified to enter My kingdom? Your images are even greater than God’s, your status even higher than God’s, to say nothing of your prestige among men—you have actually become idols that people worship. Have each of you not become the archangel? When people’s outcomes are revealed, which is also when the work of salvation will draw near its end, many of those among you will be corpses beyond salvation and must be eliminated.

Every church has people who cause disturbance for the church or disrupt the work of God. They are all Satans who have infiltrated the house of God in disguise. Such people are good at acting: They come before Me with great reverence, bowing and scraping, living like mangy dogs, and devoting their “all” to achieve their own objectives—but in front of the brothers and sisters, they show their ugly side. When they see people who practice the truth, they strike out at them and shove them aside; when they see people more formidable than themselves, they flatter and fawn upon them. They run wild in the church. It can be said that such “local bullies,” such “lapdogs,” exist in the majority of churches. They act devilishly together, sending each other winks and secret signals, and none of them practices the truth. Whoever has the most venom is the “head demon,” and whoever has the highest prestige leads them, bearing their flag aloft. These people rampage through the church, spreading their negativity, venting death, doing as they please, saying what they please, and no one dares to stop them. They brim with the disposition of Satan. No sooner do they cause a disturbance than an air of death enters the church. Those within the church who practice the truth are rejected, unable to give their all, while those who disturb the church and spread death run rampage within—and, what’s more, most people follow them. Such churches are ruled by Satan, plain and simple; the devil is their king. If people in such churches do not rise up and reject the head demons, then they, too, will sooner or later come to ruin. From now on, measures must be taken against such churches. If those who are capable of practicing a little of the truth do not seek to, then that church will be expunged. If a church contains no one who is willing to practice the truth and no one who can stand firm in their testimony to God, then that church should be completely isolated, and its connections with other churches must be severed. This is called “burying death”; this is what it means to reject Satan. If a church contains several local bullies, and they are followed by “little flies” that entirely lack discernment, and if people in such a church, even after having seen the truth, are still incapable of rejecting the binds and manipulation of these bullies, then all those fools will be eliminated in the end. These little flies might not have done anything terrible, but they are even more deceitful, even more slick, and everyone like this will be eliminated. Not a single one shall remain! Those who are of Satan will be returned to Satan, while those who are chosen by God will surely seek the truth; this is decided by their natures. Let all those who follow Satan perish! No pity will be shown to such people. Let those who seek the truth be provided for, and may they take pleasure in God’s word to their hearts’ content. God is righteous; He would not show favoritism to anyone. If you are a devil, then you are incapable of practicing the truth; if you are someone who seeks the truth, then it is certain that you will not be taken captive by Satan. This is beyond all doubt.

—The Word, Vol. 1. The Appearance and Work of God. A Warning to Those Who Do Not Practice the Truth

God does not turn a blind eye or a deaf ear to people who blaspheme or resist Him, or even those who malign Him, to people who intentionally attack, malign, and curse Him, but rather He has a clear attitude toward them. He hates these people, and He condemns them in His heart. He even openly declares what their outcome will be, so that people know that He has a clear attitude toward those who blaspheme Him, and so that they know how He will determine their outcome. However, after God said these things, people could rarely see the truth of how God would handle those people, and they could not understand the principles behind the outcome and verdict that God issued to them. That is to say, people cannot see the particular approach and methods God has for handling them. This has to do with God’s principles for doing things. God uses the occurrence of facts to deal with the evil deeds of some people. That is, He does not announce their sin and does not determine their outcome, but rather directly uses the occurrence of facts to dole out their punishment and due retribution. When these facts happen, it is people’s flesh that suffers punishment, and people can see this with their own eyes. When dealing with some people’s evil deeds, God just curses them with words and His anger also comes upon them, but the punishment they receive may be something that isn’t visible to human eyes. Nonetheless, the nature of this type of outcome may be even more serious than those of the outcomes of being punished or struck down which people can see. This is because under the circumstances that God has determined not to save this type of person, to no longer show mercy or have tolerance for them and to provide them with no more opportunities, then the attitude that He takes toward them is one of putting them aside. … when people resist God and malign and blaspheme Him, if they provoke His disposition, or if they come up against God’s bottom line, then the consequences do not bear thinking about. The most severe consequence is that God hands their lives and everything about them over to Satan once and for all. They will not be forgiven for all of eternity. This means that this person has become food in Satan’s mouth, a toy in its hand, and from then on God has nothing more to do with them.

All evildoers and all those who perform righteous deeds are, after all, created beings. Created beings that commit evil will ultimately be destroyed, and created beings who perform righteous deeds will survive. This is the most suitable arrangement for these two kinds of created beings. Evildoers cannot, because of their rebelliousness, deny that they are God’s created beings and yet have been seized by Satan and thus can not be saved. Created beings that perform righteous deeds cannot, based on the fact that they will survive, deny that they have been created by God and yet have received salvation after having been corrupted by Satan. Evildoers are created beings who are rebellious against God; they are created beings that cannot be saved and have already been thoroughly captured by Satan. People who commit evil are also people; they are humans who have been corrupted to the extreme, and who cannot be saved. Just as they are also created beings, people who perform righteous deeds have also been corrupted, but they are humans who are willing to cast off their corrupt dispositions and have become capable of submitting to God. People who perform righteous deeds do not brim with righteousness; rather, they have received salvation and cast off their corrupt dispositions; they can submit to God. They will stand fast in the end, though that is not to say that they have never been corrupted by Satan. After God’s work ends, among all created beings, there will be those who will be destroyed and those who will survive. This is an inevitable trend of His management work; no one can deny it. Evildoers will not be allowed to survive; those who submit and follow God to the end are certain to survive. As this work is that of humanity’s management, there will be those who remain and those who are eliminated. These are different outcomes for different types of people, and they are the most suitable arrangements for created beings.

—The Word, Vol. 1. The Appearance and Work of God. God and Man Will Enter Into Rest Together

Do you understand now what judgment is and what the truth is? If you do, then I advise you to submit obediently to being judged, otherwise you shall never have the opportunity to be approved of by God or to be brought by Him into His kingdom. Those who only accept judgment but can never be purified, that is, those who flee amidst the work of judgment, shall forever be spurned by God. Their sins are more grievous, and more numerous, than those of the Pharisees, for they have betrayed God and are rebels against God. These people who are not worthy even to labor shall receive a more severe punishment, a punishment that is, moreover, everlasting. God shall not spare any traitor who once evinced loyalty with words but then betrayed Him. Such people shall receive retribution through punishment of the spirit, soul, and body. Is this not precisely a revelation of the righteous disposition of God? Is this not precisely God’s purpose in judging and revealing man? God consigns those who perform all kinds of evil deeds during the time of judgment to a place infested with evil spirits, and lets those evil spirits destroy their fleshly bodies as they wish, and those people’s bodies emit the stench of corpses. Such is their due retribution. God writes each and every one of the sins of those disloyal false believers, false apostles, and false workers in their record books, and when the time is right, He casts them amidst the unclean spirits, letting those unclean spirits defile their entire bodies at will, and makes it so that they can never be reincarnated and never again see the light. God lists among the evil those hypocrites who do service for a time but do not remain loyal to the end, allowing them to wallow in the mire with the evil people and form with them a gang of motley miscreants, and in the end, God shall annihilate them. God casts aside and takes no notice of those who have never been loyal to Christ or have never contributed any of their strength, and at the changing of the age He shall annihilate them all. They shall no longer exist on earth, much less gain passage into the kingdom of God. God lists among those who render service for His people anyone who has never been sincere to God, but has no other choice but to deal with Him perfunctorily. Only a small number of such people will survive, while the majority shall be destroyed along with those whose labor is not even up to standard. In the end, God shall bring into His kingdom all those who are of the same heart and mind as God, the people and the sons of God, and those predestined by God to be priests. They are the crystallization of God’s work. As for those who cannot be classed into any of the categories demarcated by God, they shall be listed among the ranks of the nonbelievers, and you can surely imagine what their outcome shall be. I have already said to you all that I should say; the path that you select is your choice alone. What you should understand is this: The work of God never waits for any person that cannot keep pace with Him, and the righteous disposition of God shows no mercy to any man.
