Chapter 35
Seven thunders come forth from the throne, shake the universe, overturn heaven and earth, and resound through the skies! The sound pierces the ear, and the people cannot escape it, nor can they hide from it. Thunder and lightning burst forth, and in an instant, heaven and earth undergo tremendous changes, and the people are on their last gasps of breath. Then, at lightning speed, the entire universe is swept up by a violent rainstorm, falling from heaven! In every corner of the ends of the earth, as thoroughly as a shower, it brooks no stain, with everything being washed by it head to toe; nothing can be hidden from it, nor can any person be shut away from it. Peals of thunder, like flashes of lightning, gleam with chill light and make people tremble with fear! The sharp double-edged sword strikes down the sons of rebellion. The enemies face disaster, with nowhere to hide; they become dazed in the rush of wind and rain, feel woozy from the blow, and drop dead at once into the flowing waters and are washed away. There is only death, and no way for them to survive. The seven thunders issue from Me, bearing My intention, and strike down the firstborn sons of Egypt, punish the evil, and cleanse My churches, so that all may have affinity with each other, act truly to themselves, and be of one heart with Me, and so that all the churches in the universe can be built into one. This is My purpose.
The thunder sounds, and the sounds of wailing roll in its wake. Some are awakened from their slumber, and, greatly alarmed, they engage in profound self-reflection and rush back before the throne. They cease their rampant trickery and outrageous acts; it is not too late for such people to be awakened. I watch from the throne. I scrutinize the depths of people’s hearts. I save those who desire Me earnestly and fervently, and I show them mercy. Those who love Me in their hearts more than all else, those who understand My intentions and follow Me to the very end of the road, I will save into eternity. My hand will hold them safely, so that they will not encounter this scene and will come to no harm. Some, when they see this sight of flashing lightning, have inexpressible misery in their hearts and are regretful in the extreme. If they persist in behaving in this way, it is too late for them. Oh, all and every thing! It will all be done. This, too, is one of My means of salvation. I save those who love Me and strike down the evil, making My kingdom steady and stable on earth, and letting the myriad nations and peoples, and every person in the universe and at the ends of the earth, know that I am majesty, I am consuming fire, I am the God who scrutinizes the innermost heart of every man. From this time forward, the judgment of the great white throne is openly disclosed to the masses, and to the myriad peoples, it is announced that judgment has commenced! It is beyond doubt that all who say one thing but think another, those who doubt and dare not be certain, those who waste away their time and who understand My intentions but are unwilling to practice—they all must be judged. You must take care to examine your own intentions and motives, and assume your proper place; practice My words in earnest, focus on your life experience, and do not act with enthusiasm for external affairs, but make your lives grown, mature, stable, and experienced—only then will you be in accordance with My intentions.
Do not provide any opportunities for exploitation to Satan’s servants or to evil spirits’ deeds of disrupting and demolishing that which I build. They must be limited severely and stopped; they can only be dealt with by means of a sharp sword. Severe cases must be rooted out immediately, to prevent future trouble. And the church will be perfected, free of all deformity, and it will be healthy, full of vitality and energy. Following the flashing lightning, thunderclaps ring out. You must not be negligent, and you must not give up, but do your utmost to catch up, and you will surely be able to see what My hand does, what I mean to gain, what I mean to discard, what I mean to perfect, what I mean to root out, what I mean to strike down—all this will unfold before your eyes, allowing you to clearly see My almightiness.
From the throne to the universe and the ends of the earth, the seven thunders echo. A large group of people will be saved and will surrender themselves before My throne. Following this light of life, people seek for a way to survive and cannot help but come to Me, kneel down in worship, and with their mouths call out the name of the almighty true God and voice their pleas. But those who resist Me, those who harden their hearts, the thunder resounds in their ears, and without a doubt they must die. This is simply their outcome. My beloved sons who are triumphant will surely stay in Zion, and the myriad peoples will see what they will obtain, and immense glory will appear before you. Truly, this is an extraordinarily great blessing, and it is a sweetness that is difficult to relate.
The clap of the seven thunders coming forth is the salvation of those who love Me, who desire Me with true hearts. Those who belong to Me and whom I have predestined and chosen are all able to come under My name. They can hear My voice. This is God calling to them. Let those at the ends of the earth see that I am righteous, I am faithful, I am lovingkindness, I am mercy, I am majesty, I am consuming fire, and, ultimately, I am merciless judgment.
Let all in the world see that I am the veritable and complete God Himself. All people are fully convinced, and none dare to resist Me again, nor to judge Me or slander Me again. Otherwise, curses come at once upon them, and disaster befalls them. They can only weep and gnash their teeth, having brought on their own destruction.
Let the myriad peoples know, let it be known through the universe and at the ends of the earth, in every household and by all people: Almighty God is the one true God. All, one after another, will fall to their knees and worship Me, and even children who have just learned to speak will call out “Almighty God”! Those officials who wield power will also see with their own eyes the true God appearing before them, and they will also prostrate themselves in worship, begging for mercy and His pardon, but this is indeed too late, for the time of their demise has come. They can only be brought to their end and sentenced to the fathomless abyss. I will bring the entire age to an end, and strengthen My kingdom all the more. The myriad nations and peoples will yield before Me for all of eternity!
