In His first incarnation, God did not finish the work;

He only did one step that was necessary for Him to do in the flesh.

God’s returned to the flesh for the work of incarnation,

living out the normality and the flesh’s reality,

revealing God’s Word in ordinary flesh,

concluding the incarnate work.

The second incarnation is like the first in essence,

only more real and more normal.

It’s in the work of conquest

that God’s work in the flesh will be finished in full.

The work of redemption was just

the beginning of the incarnate work;

the flesh that performs the work of conquest

will complete the work of incarnation.

It was Jesus’s flesh used as a sin offering

when He was sacrificed by being crucified.

Through normal human flesh, He defeated Satan,

thus saving man from the cross.

It’s through a full flesh in God’s new incarnation

He does the work of conquest, and He wins against Satan.

Only normal, real flesh can complete this work,

with powerful testimony.

It’s in the work of conquest

that God’s work in the flesh will be finished in full.

The work of redemption was just

the beginning of the incarnate work;

the flesh that performs the work of conquest

will complete the work of incarnation.

In the ministry of this God incarnate,

the Spirit’s work is realized in the flesh.

The duty of the flesh is to speak,

and thus conquer, reveal, and perfect man,

and eliminate him completely.

It’s in the work of conquest

that God’s work in the flesh will be finished in full.

The work of redemption was just

the beginning of the incarnate work;

the flesh that performs the work of conquest

will complete the work of incarnation.
