An Extract From “Working and Entering in (6)”

When God returned to the third heaven in the Age of the Grace, his work of redeeming all mankind had actually drawn to an end. There was only left behind on earth the cross Jesus had carried, the fine cloth Jesus had been wrapped in, and the crown of thorns and the red robe Jesus had worn (which were the things the Jews used to mock him). That is, Jesus’ work of crucifixion quieted down after it created a great sensation. Thenceforth, Jesus’ disciples began to continue his work and shepherd and water the churches everywhere. Such were the works they did: They asked all people to repent, confess their sins, and be baptized; all the apostles spread the inside story and the real situation of Jesus’ crucifixion, so that all people could not help but fall down before “Jesus” and confess their sins; and they went everywhere to preach the words Jesus spoke and the laws and the commandments he set down. Thereafter, the church building in the Age of the Grace started. At that age, the work Jesus did was also to speak about man’s life and the heavenly Father’s intention. But as the age was different, many sayings and practices were greatly different from those of today. However, they are essentially the same and are exactly the works done by God’s Spirit in his flesh. Those works and words have remained until today, so the religious people today still “share” such things without any change. When Jesus’ work ended, people on earth had entered the right track of “Jesus Christ.” However, God started his plan for another stage of his work, that is, his being incarnated in the end time. In people’s eyes, when God was crucified, he had finished his work of incarnation and had redeemed all mankind, and he had taken the keys of Hades. And they all thought that God’s work had been fully completed. Actually, in God’s eyes, only a small part of his work had been completed. He had only redeemed mankind, but had not conquered mankind, much less changed man’s ugly satanic image. So God said, “Although my incarnated flesh has passed through the pain of death, it is not the only purpose of my incarnation. Jesus is my beloved Son and he was crucified for me, yet he had not completely finished my work but only a part of it.” Thus, God started the second plan to continue his work of incarnation. God’s ultimate intention is to perfect and gain all those who have been saved from satan’s hand, so God was ready to come into the flesh at a risk again. “God’s incarnation” means that he bears no glory (because he has not completed his work, he bears no glory), but he appears as the beloved Son, who is Christ and with whom he is well pleased. That is why I say that he comes at a risk. Because his flesh has little and limited power, which cannot at all compare with the authority of the heavenly Father, and he comes only to fulfill the ministry of his flesh and accomplish the work and commission of God the Father, not to do any other work but only to accomplish a part of his work, God is called “Christ” when he comes to earth. This is its meaning. Why I say that she is faced with temptations when she comes is because she has only come to accomplish one item of the work. God the Father only calls her “Christ” and “beloved Son” but has not given her all the glory, because the incarnated flesh of God has only come to do one item of the work, has not come to represent the heavenly Father, but has come to perform the ministry of the “beloved Son.” When the “beloved Son” has accomplished all that is committed to her, the Father will give her all the glory and his status. It can be said that this is a “heavenly rule.” When she comes into the flesh, she and the heavenly Father are in two different realms and they can only look at each other in spirit, and the Son cannot see the Father from afar though the Father is taking care of the beloved Son, and because the flesh has too little power and she may be killed at any time. So she has come at a great risk, which means that God once again puts his beloved Son into the tiger’s mouth, at the risk of her life, putting her in the place where most satans dwell. At the time of such danger and difficulty, God gives his “beloved Son” to the people in the filthy and licentious place to “bring up.” This is because only if God’s work is done this way will it be reasonable, and will it fulfill all the wishes of God the Father and accomplish the final part of his work among mankind. Jesus only accomplished one stage of the work of God the Father. Because Jesus’ incarnated flesh had limitations and the work for him to accomplish was different, he did not know that he would return in the flesh the second time. Therefore, all those who read the historical records about Jesus have never discovered that he ever prophesied that God would be incarnated the second time to conclude all his work in the flesh. Because even Jesus did not know that, the great prophets or Bible expositors did not know that God would return in the flesh again, that is, that he would come into the flesh to do the second part of his work in the flesh. Thus, no one has discovered that God has long since been hidden in the flesh. This is not surprising, because Jesus began to receive the commission only after he was resurrected and ascended to heaven. So, God’s second incarnation is baseless and groundless, which is hard for people to figure out like sourceless water. Moreover, they can hardly find any basis for it in the famous Bible. Not a single word in so many verses of the Bible has ever talked about that. But it had long since been prophesied that Jesus would come to the world and would come through the conception of the Holy Spirit. Even so, God says that he came at the risk of his life. Won’t this even more be so today? It is no wonder that God says that he is incarnated this time at a risk that is thousands of times greater than the risk at which he was incarnated in the Age of the Grace. In many places in the Bible, God prophesied that he would gain a group of overcomers in the land of Sinim and he would gain them in the East of the world. So, without a doubt, when God is incarnated the second time, he descends into the land of Sinim, the very place where the great red dragon dwells, and he will gain the offspring of the great red dragon and cause it to be completely defeated and shamed. God will arouse these people in deep misery and awaken them completely, so that they may come out of the dense fog, forsake the great red dragon, wake up from their dream, know the essence of the great red dragon, turn their whole heart to God, rise up against the oppression from the forces of darkness, stand in the East of the world, and be the evidence of God’s triumph. Then God will be glorified. For this reason, God continues the work he has concluded in Israel in the dwelling place of the great red dragon. Nearly two thousand years later after he left, he once again comes into the flesh to continue the work of the Age of the Grace. In man’s fleshly eyes, God has started a new work in the flesh. Yet in God’s eyes, he is continuing the work of the Age of the Grace, but he is only doing it after thousands of years, doing it in a different place and doing a different item of the work. Although the image God’s flesh takes when he does his work today is totally different from Jesus’, their substance and origin are the same and from one source. Although they may have many differences in their appearances, the inside story of their works is totally the same. After all, the ages are completely different. How could God’s works repeat each other or contradict each other?

Jesus took the appearance of a Jew, dressed himself as the Jews, and grew up on the food of the Jews. This was the aspect of his being a normal man. But the incarnated flesh of God today takes the form of an Asian and grows up on the food of the country of the great red dragon. These do not contradict the purpose of God’s incarnation. Rather, they complement each other for a better result, and they better complete the actual significance of God’s incarnation. As the incarnated flesh of God is called “Son of Man” or “Christ,” the form of the “Christ” of today cannot be the same as the form of “Jesus Christ.” This is because the flesh is called “Son of Man,” who is in the image of the flesh. Each stage of God’s work has a very deep significance. Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit, because he came to redeem sinners and had to be sinless. However, he was in the end forced to become the likeness of sinful flesh and bear the sins of sinners. Only in this way had he redeemed the sinners from the cross which was cursed and which God used to chastise man. (The cross was a tool through which God cursed and chastised man. Cursing and chastising meant to curse and chastise sinners.) His purpose was to cause all sinners to repent and cause men to confess their sins through his “crucifixion.” That is to say, in order to redeem all mankind, God was incarnated into a flesh who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and bore the sins of all mankind. To put it simply, he bought all sinners back with a holy flesh. It meant that Jesus was the “sin offering” and was given to satan and “beseeched” it to return to God the whole innocent mankind who was trampled by it. So, to accomplish the redemptive work, God had to be conceived by the Holy Spirit. That was a necessary condition and a “treaty” between God the Father and satan when they began to war. So Jesus was delivered over to satan. Only after that was that stage of the work ended. Today God’s redemptive work has reached an unparalleled stage, and satan has no more reason to make any requirements. So when God is incarnated this time, he does not have to be conceived by the Holy Spirit, as God is holy and innocent. Therefore, when God is incarnated this time, he is no longer the Jesus of the Age of the Grace, but he is still incarnated for God the Father’s will and for fulfilling God the Father’s wish. Is it unreasonable to say this? Does God have to be incarnated according to any regulations?
