61 The Meaning of God’s Work of Judgment in the Last Days
Verse 1
Know that in the last days
Christ uses a number of truths to teach man,
He uses truths to expose the essence of man
and dissect their words and their deeds.
Verse 2
Christ’s words comprise various truths
about man’s duty, how to be loyal to God,
obey God, live out normal humanity,
God’s wisdom, disposition, and more.
Verse 3
These words are all directed
at man’s essence and corruption.
Those words that show how man rejects God,
they speak of man as Satan’s embodiment and God’s foe.
Chorus
The work of judgment
brings about man’s understanding
of the true face of God
and the truth about their own rebelliousness.
It allows man to learn God’s will,
purpose of His work,
mysteries they don’t understand,
know their corrupt substance and its roots,
and discover man’s ugliness.
Verse 4
God makes man’s nature clear
not with a few words but over much time,
by exposing, dealing and pruning
as He undertakes His work, all work of judgment.
Verse 5
Plain words can’t replace these ways;
only truth man does not have can do this.
These methods are judgment,
help man gain true knowledge of God,
and can subdue, convince man to submit to God.
Chorus
The work of judgment
brings about man’s understanding
of the true face of God
and the truth about their own rebelliousness.
It allows man to learn God’s will,
purpose of His work,
mysteries they don’t understand,
know their corrupt substance and its roots,
and discover man’s ugliness.
Outro
The work of judgment brings these effects,
for it opens the truth, way and life of God
to all who have faith in Him.
This is the work of judgment done by God.
