In the last days, it is our greatest hope to receive the return of the Lord Jesus Christ. To help all the people who yearn for God’s appearance to welcome the return of the Lord Jesus Christ soon, our blog will update the latest message on the return of the Lord.
Recently, I saw some believer asked in a post on Facebook, “Now is already the last days and the prophecies of the Lord’s return have basically all been fulfilled, but why haven’t we met the Lord yet? Is it that there is something wrong with our way of waiting?” Actually, most brothers and sisters are also confused about this. Regarding this question, I have some simple understanding and would like to share it with you now.
A magnitude 7.1 earthquake hit the waters off Jose Abad Santos town in Davao Occidental on Thursday, January 21. Although it didn’t cause much loss, it gave us food for thought: Pandemics, earthquakes, super typhoons, mudslides, floods, famines, and other disasters continue one after another—Why are there so many disasters now? What is God’s will? Let’s look at a passage of God’s words together and then we will understand.
Nowadays, the last days have arrived. I believe that the brothers and sisters from different denominations are all paying close attention to the return of the Lord Jesus. The Lord once promised us: “I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you to myself; that where I am, there you may be also” (John 14:2-3). For this reason, we are all eagerly expecting that the Lord will come again to bring us into the kingdom of heaven. However, with regard to the means of the Lord’s return, each denomination has a different understanding of it. There are mainly two points of view. Some denominations believe that as the Lord left in a spiritual body, then when coming to rapture us, He will certainly appear to us in a spiritual body. But, others hold a different idea. They believe that the Lord will reveal Himself to us in the form of flesh when coming back. Anyway, in what form the Lord will return is related to whether each of us Christians can be raptured. Therefore, we must make it clear, so as not to be abandoned by the Lord.
Lu Xunguang staggers to the window. The moonlight gently sprinkles on his body. At this time, he is in a whirlwind of thought, and the scenes of serving the Lord with Brother Liu constantly surface in his mind. Lu Xunguang thinks in his heart: When he and Brother Liu were young, they served the Lord with enthusiasm in the church, preaching everywhere and shepherding the churches. Until now, many years have passed. At that time, they suffered illegal arrest of the Chinese Communist Party police when preaching the gospel, being imprisoned forcibly for eight years. When they felt weak in their hearts, they encouraged each other to take up the cross to follow the Lord. And they all surely believed they could wear the crown of righteousness that the Lord bestowed upon. Many years have gone by in the blink of an eye, he doesn’t know how Brother Liu is doing now …
Disasters are growing in scale. Are you also yearning to welcome the Lord? Seeing that more and more people are testifying on the Internet that the Lord has returned, are you confused about how to welcome the Lord? These words of Almighty God will tell you the answer.
In the Age of Law, God took the name Yahweh; in the Age of Grace, He took the name Jesus, and the Book of Revelation prophesied that God would have yet another new name. Why does God change names? Many Christians are unclear on this aspect of the truth, causing them to miss the opportunity to welcome the Lord’s coming. As Christians, understanding truths related to the names of the Lord is critical for us welcoming the return of the Lord Jesus.
In the Lord Jesus’ prophecy about His return, He mentioned two types of people: the wise virgins and foolish virgins. The wise virgins will listen to the voice of God and welcome the Lord, while the foolish virgins will be forsaken by the Lord and be plunged into disasters and eliminated. A lot of people hope to be wise virgins to welcome the Lord’s return in the last days, then how can we achieve it? The Lord Jesus said, “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me” (John 10:27). The Book of Revelation predicts, “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me” (Revelation 3:20). So the Lord would speak utterances to knock on our doors upon His return. The wise virgins are those who seek and listen for the words of the Lord returned. They can recognize the voice of God from the words and put aside their notions to obey and accept the new work of the Holy Spirit. This is receiving the Lord and feasting with Him. Just as God’s words say, “Since we are searching for the footprints of God, it behooves us to search for God’s will, for the words of God, for His utterances—because wherever there are new words spoken by God, the voice of God is there, and wherever there are the footsteps of God, God’s deeds are there. Wherever there is the expression of God, there God appears, and wherever God appears, there the truth, the way, and the life exist” (“The Appearance of God Has Ushered in a New Age”). “All who are able to obey the present utterances of the Holy Spirit are blessed. It does not matter how they used to be, or how the Holy Spirit used to work within them—those who have gained the latest work of God are the most blessed, and those who are unable to follow the latest work today are eliminated. God wants those who are able to accept the new light, and He wants those who accept and know His latest work. Why is it said that you must be a chaste virgin? A chaste virgin is able to seek the work of the Holy Spirit and understand the new things, and moreover, able to put aside old notions, and obey the work of God today” (“Know God’s Newest Work and Follow His Footsteps”). Today, the Lord has returned and expressed millions of words. God is using His words to seek those who pay attention to His words and yearn for His return. Friends, would you like to be a wise virgin who listens to God’s voice and welcomes the Lord? Please contact us on Messenger.
We all know that the Lord Jesus had promised His disciples before He left: Surely I come quickly. Over thousands of years, countless Christians have held on to the promise of the Lord and expected His return all their life. They felt pity that they did not meet the return of the Lord Jesus before death. Many people are puzzled: The prophecy of the return of the Lord Jesus has already been fulfilled, but why is it that we haven’t seen the appearance of the Lord yet? In fact, the Lord Jesus has already returned to flesh as the Son of man and done the work in secret among people for many years. Christ of the last days—Almighty God is the return of the Lord Jesus!
Now the catastrophe has begun to come down. At the critical moment of welcoming the Lord’s return, only by being a wise virgin can we welcome the Lord and go to the feast with Him. So how can we be a wise virgin?
If we believers in God want to enter into the kingdom of heaven, we must walk the path of the cross since the Lord Jesus did this to set an example for us. However, in the last days some believers, when seeing or hearing that some Christians have been arrested and sent to jail, get extremely afraid and adopt a wrong state of mind. The author of the following article is one of them. Next, please read the article “Can Cowards Enter Into the Kingdom of Heaven?”
