My mercy is expressed toward those who love Me and forsake themselves. The punishment visited upon the evil, meanwhile, is precisely proof of My righteous disposition and, even more, testimony to My wrath. When disaster comes, all who oppose Me will weep as they fall victim to famine and plague. Those who have followed Me for many years, but who have committed all manner of evil deeds, will not escape paying for their sins; they too, will be plunged into disaster, the like of which has seldom been seen throughout millions of years, and they will live in a constant state of panic and fear. And those of My followers who have shown absolute loyalty to Me will rejoice and applaud, praising My might. They will experience an ineffable mood of carefree happiness and live amid joy such as I have never before bestowed upon mankind. For I treasure the good deeds of man and abhor his evil deeds. Since I first began to lead mankind, I have been eagerly hoping to gain a group of people who are of the same mind with Me. Those who are not of the same mind with Me, meanwhile, I never forget; I always hate them in My heart, awaiting the chance to make them answer for their evil deeds, which is something I shall relish to see. Now My day has finally come, and I need no longer wait!

My final work is not only for the sake of punishing man, but also for the sake of arranging the destination of man. Even more so, it is for the sake of getting all people to acknowledge My deeds and actions. I shall make each and every person see that all I have done is right and an expression of My disposition, that it is not man’s doing, and much less is it nature that brought forth mankind, and that it is instead I who nourish every living being among all things. Without My existence, mankind will only perish and suffer the scourge of calamity. No human being will ever again see the beauteous sun and moon, or the verdant world; mankind shall encounter only the dark, cold night and the inexorable valley of the shadow of death. I am mankind’s only redemption. I am mankind’s only hope and, even more, I am He on whom the existence of all mankind rests. Without Me, mankind will immediately come to a standstill, without Me, mankind will only suffer devastating catastrophe and be trampled underfoot by all manner of ghosts, though no one takes heed of Me. I have done work that can be done by no other, and hope only that man can repay Me with some good deeds. Though but a few have been able to repay Me, I will still conclude My journey in the human world and begin the next step of My work that is about to unfold, because all My rushing to and fro in man’s midst these many years has been fruitful, and I am very pleased. What I care about is not the number of people, but rather their good deeds. In any case, I hope that you prepare a sufficiency of good deeds for your own destination. Only then will I be satisfied; otherwise, none of you can escape the onslaught of disaster. The disaster originates with Me and is of course orchestrated by Me. If you cannot appear as good in My eyes, then you will not escape suffering the disaster. In the midst of tribulation, your actions and deeds were not considered entirely appropriate, for your faith and love were hollow, and you only showed yourselves to be either timid or strong. Regarding this, I will only make a judgment of good or bad. What concerns Me is still the actions and deeds, and all the manifestations, of each one of you, on the basis of which I shall determine your outcomes. However, I must make this clear: Toward those who showed Me not the slightest loyalty during times of tribulation, I shall be merciful no more, for My mercy only extends so far. I have no liking, furthermore, for anyone who has once betrayed Me, much less do I like to associate with those who sell out the interests of their friends. This is My disposition, regardless of who the person may be. I must tell you this: Anyone who thoroughly breaks My heart shall not receive clemency from Me a second time, and anyone who has been loyal to Me shall forever remain in My heart.
