“God does the work of the word in the last days, and such words are that of the Holy Spirit, for God is the Holy Spirit and can also become flesh; therefore, the words of the Holy Spirit, as spoken of in the past, are the words of the incarnate God today. … For God to speak utterances to carry out work, He must become flesh, else His work cannot accomplish His goal” (from “How Can Man Who Has Defined God in His Conceptions Receive the Revelations of God?” in The Word Appears in the Flesh).
God’s authority is unique; it’s His special expression and essence, which no other beings possess, created or non-created. The Creator alone has such power, God the Unique has this substance. God created everything, He holds dominion over them all. He controls not just some planets, not only part of creation or all mankind. But He holds all in His mighty hands, great or small, visible or not, from the stars to the tiny cells, and all beings that exist in other forms. This is precisely what is meant by the “everything” that God controls.God’s authority seems hard to fathom, but it’s not abstract at all.
Almighty God says, "Because people do not recognize God’s orchestrations and God’s sovereignty, they always face fate defiantly, with a rebellious attitude, and always want to cast off God’s authority and sovereignty and the things fate has in store, hoping in vain to change their current circumstances and alter their fate. But they can never succeed; they are thwarted at every turn. This struggle, which takes place deep in one’s soul, is painful; the pain is unforgettable; and all the while one is frittering away one’s life. What is the cause of this pain? Is it because of God’s sovereignty, or because a person was born unlucky? Obviously neither is true. At bottom, it is because of the paths people take, the ways people choose to live their lives. Some people may not have realized these things. But when you truly know, when you truly come to recognize that God has sovereignty over human fate, when you truly understand that everything God has planned for and decided for you is a great benefit, and is a great protection, then you feel your pain gradually lighten, and the whole of you become relaxed, free, liberated" (The Word Appears in the Flesh).
1. O Zion, shout for joy! O Zion, sing! God has returned triumphant; God has returned victorious! O all peoples, line up quickly. Oh all things, stand still. For God’s original person faces the entire universe and appears in the East of the world! Who shall not kneel down to worship? Who shall not confess the true God with his tongue? Who shall not look up to Him with a heart of fearing? Who shall not praise? Who shall not praise? Who shall not shout for joy? God’s people will listen to God’s voice. Who shall not praise? Who shall not shout for joy? God’s people will listen to God’s voice.
1. Thousands of years passed by, humans still enjoy the light and the air bestowed by God. Humans still breathe in and out the breath exhaled by God Himself. Humans still enjoy things created by God, the fish, birds, flowers and insects. Humans enjoy all the things, all the things provided by God. Continually day and night still replace each other. As usual the four seasons alternate. Flying in the sky, the geese depart in winter and return in spring. Swimming in the water, the fish never leave the rivers and the lakes, their home.
