199 The Meaning of the Incarnation Is Completed by Incarnation in the Last Days
Verse 1
The stage of work which Jesus performed
only fulfilled the substance of
“the Word was with God.”
That is, the truth of God was with God,
God’s Spirit was with the flesh,
inseparable from Him.
The flesh of God was with the Spirit,
which is yet greater proof that
Jesus was first God in flesh.
Pre-chorus 1
The work of the last days precisely fulfills
the inner meaning of “the Word becomes flesh.”
And it also lends a deeper meaning
to “the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
And it allows you to firmly believe
the words “In the beginning was the Word.”
Chorus
This is the work of the second incarnation,
and this is the last time that God becomes flesh,
completing the meaning of the incarnation.
It thoroughly carries out and issues forth
all of God’s work in the flesh,
brings an end to the era of God’s being in the flesh.
Verse 2
At the time of the world’s creation,
God was possessed of words.
Yes, His words were with Him.
He was inseparable from them.
The final age makes clearer
their power and command.
It allows man to see all of His ways
and to hear all of His words.
It’s the final age’s work.
Pre-chorus 2
You must understand these things through and through.
It’s not a question of knowing the flesh,
but of how you come to understand,
come to understand the flesh and the Word.
This is that to which you must bear witness,
and also that which everyone must know.
Chorus
This is the work of the second incarnation,
and this is the last time that God becomes flesh,
completing the meaning of the incarnation.
It thoroughly carries out and issues forth
all of God’s work in the flesh,
brings an end to the era of God’s being in the flesh.
