The Scroll that the Lamb Opened

Have you seen what work God will accomplish in you group of people? Previously, God said that in the Millennial Kingdom people will still go forward by his utterance and that in the future it will still be his utterance that will directly lead people to live in the good land of Canaan. When Moses was in the wilderness, God directly instructed him by speaking, and sent food, water, and manna from heaven for people to enjoy. The same is true of today. God personally sends food and drink for people to enjoy and sends curses to chastise people. So every stage of the work is done by God personally. Now, some people hope to see some facts accomplished and hope to see signs and wonders. All such people will possibly be cast away, because God does his work in a more and more practical way. God has come down from heaven, yet no one knows it. God sends food and nutriment from heaven, yet they still do not know it. However, God is actually present. The lively scene of the Millennial Kingdom, which people imagine, will still be that God utters his voice. This will be the fact, and this is what it means for people to reign and rule with God on earth. People can only reign and rule with God on earth only if they are in their body. If they were not in their body, they could not be on earth. So, all those who hope to go to the third heaven will fail. One day, when the entire universe turns to God, God will do the work of the entire universe mainly through uttering his voice. And people from all the other places will receive God’s utterance by phone, by air, by ship, or by means of laser. Everyone will adore God, and everyone will long for God. All will draw close to God, all will gather to God, and all will worship God. All this will be accomplished by God. Remember this! God will never make another start in other places in the future. God will accomplish this fact: People in the entire universe will come to meet God and worship the God on earth. God will stop his work in all the other places, and all people will have to search for the true way. It will be like the time of Joseph when everyone went to him for food and bowed down to him because he had food. In order to survive the famine, all people will have to seek the true way. The entire religious world will be in a severe famine. Only the God of today will be the spring of living water and have ever-flowing spring for people to enjoy. All people will turn to him. That will be the time for God to manifest his doings and the time for God to be glorified. People in the entire universe will worship this ordinary “person.” Won’t it be the day God is glorified? One day, even pastors of old age will seek for the water from the spring of living water by telegram. Though they are of advanced age, they will have to worship this person they despised, confessing him with their mouth and believing in him with their heart. Won’t it be a miracle? When the whole kingdom rejoices, it will be the day God is glorified. All those who receive the good news of God from you will be blessed by God. Such nations and people will be blessed by God and cared for by God. The future trend will be that those who receive the utterance of God’s mouth will have the way to go forward on earth, but those who receive no utterance of God’s mouth won’t be able to take a step and will have to seek the true way, no matter whether they work in business, science, education, or industry. That will be “Having the truth, one may go anywhere; having no truth, he cannot take a step.” This will be the fact. God will use the “Way” (the “Way” is all God’s words) to control the entire universe and to govern and conquer mankind. People always hope that God will work in a greatly different way. Honestly speaking, God will control people just by speaking. Willing or unwilling, you have to obey. This is an objective fact. Everyone has to be convinced. This will be the trend of the work, which should be known to all.

The Holy Spirit gives people a feeling that they feel gratified and peaceful in their heart after they read God’s word, but feel empty if they do not gain God’s word. This is the power of God’s word, and all people will have to read God’s word. They are nourished after reading it, and they cannot live without reading it. This is like people eating opium. They feel energetic after eating it. They are desperate for it and have no strength at all if they do not eat it. People now are like this. They feel strong after reading God’s word but feel weak all over if they do not read it. They get out of their sickbed right away after reading God’s word. This is God (Word) reigning on earth. Some people want to leave or get tired of God’s work. In any case, they cannot live without God’s word. No matter how weak they are, they have to live by God’s word. No matter how disobedient they are, they dare not stay away from God’s word. When God’s word truly manifests its power, it will be the time God reigns and rules. God works just like this. In a word, he works just in such a way. No one can live without God’s word. God’s word will be spread to numerous households and made known to every family. Only then will it mean that God’s work has been spread to the entire universe. That is to say, for God’s work to be spread to the entire universe, God’s word has to be spread. The day God is glorified will be the time God’s word manifests its authority and power. Every word God has spoken from before the ages until today will be realized and fulfilled. Then God will be glorified on earth; that is, God’s word will rule on earth. All wicked men will be chastised by the word of God’s mouth. All righteous men will be blessed by the word of God’s mouth. All things will be established and accomplished by the word of God’s mouth. God will not perform any signs or wonders but will accomplish everything by his word and accomplish the facts by his word. Everyone on earth will spread God’s word. All people, child or adult, male or female, young or old, will become subject to the word of God. The word of God appears in the flesh, and it is also on earth and thus people see that it is true and real. This is the Word becoming flesh. God comes to earth mainly to accomplish the fact that the “Word becomes flesh,” that is, he issues forth his words through his flesh (which is not like the times of Moses in the Old Testament when he uttered his voice directly from heaven), and in the age of the Millennial Kingdom he will fulfill all of them and make them visible facts so that people will see with their own eyes that they are the exact fulfillment of his words. This is the great significance of God’s incarnation. That is, God accomplishes the work of his Spirit through his flesh and through his word. This is the true meaning of “the Word becoming flesh and the Word appearing in the flesh.” Only God can tell the mind of the Spirit, and only the God in the flesh can utter the voice of the Spirit on his behalf. God’s word is only revealed through the incarnated God, and everyone else is guided by this. No one can live outside this, but all have to live within this. Only from this utterance can people know. Except from this, they can never receive the utterance from heaven. This is the authority God manifests when incarnated, and everyone will be convinced. Even the top experts or the religious pastors cannot speak this word. All will become subject to this word, and no one will be able to make another start. God will conquer the entire universe with his word, conquering people in the entire universe not through his incarnated flesh but through the utterance from the mouth of the incarnated God. This is the “Way” becoming flesh and the “Word” appearing in the flesh. Perhaps in people’s eyes, God has not done a great work. But when his word is spoken, everyone will be utterly convinced and will be struck dumb. People all talk wildly because of seeing no fact, but they will all cover their mouth because of God’s word. God will accomplish this fact, for it is the plan God has long since made, accomplishing the fact that the Word comes to earth. Actually, needless for me to say clearly, for the Millennial Kingdom to be on earth means that the word of God comes to earth, and for the New Jerusalem to come down out of heaven means that the word of God comes among people and lives with them, directing their every act and every thought. This is the fact God will accomplish and is the beautiful prospect of the Millennial Kingdom. This is the plan God has made—the Word will appear on earth for a thousand years, manifesting all God’s doings and completing all God’s earthly work. Thenceforth, mankind will come to the end of a stage.
