Will God’s Name Never Change?

The New Testament records: “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever” (Hebrews 13:8). So, I thought that the Lord Jesus was the name of God, which would never change. But I recalled that the Old Testament says: “I, even I, am Jehovah; and beside me there is no savior” (Isaiah 43:11). “This is my name for ever, and this is my memorial to all generations” (Exodus 3:15). In the Age of Law, God personally told people that Jehovah was His name forever, and that apart from Him there was no Savior. However, why did God’s name become Jesus when He was incarnated to do the work of redemption in the Age of Grace? Which one is God’s name, Jehovah or Jesus? These questions puzzled me for a long time.

A New Exploration: In What Way Will the Second Coming of the Lord Happen?

After the Lord Jesus was resurrected and ascended to heaven, all Christians who sincerely believed in Him began to look forward to His second coming. In particular, we who have been born into the last days even more so look forward to His second coming when He shall raise us up into the heavenly kingdom. While we hold onto this hope, are we aware of the way in which the second coming of the Lord will appear to us? This question relates to the important matter of whether or not we are able to welcome the Lord’s coming, so it is essential that we discuss it in earnest.

Someone says that when the second coming of the Lord arrives, He will definitely come with clouds in great power and glory, for there are many such prophecies within the Bible. For example, “Behold, He comes with clouds; and every eye shall see Him, and they also which pierced Him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of Him” (Revelation 1:7). “And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory” (Matthew 24:30). Also, when the Lord Jesus was resurrected and He ascended to heaven, an angel said, “You men of Galilee, why stand you gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as you have seen Him go into heaven” (Acts 1:11). In light of these prophecies, some brothers and sisters believe that the second coming of the Lord in the last days will definitely be Him coming with clouds.

Why Did the Lord Jesus Call God in Heaven Father?

In the past, I saw the Bible recorded, “And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, see, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting on him: And see a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased” (Matthew 3:16-17). Additionally, the Lord Jesus usually said “God the Father” as He prayed. Therefore, I firmly believed that there was God the Father in heaven and the Lord Jesus was only the Son of God. But later, I read the words of the Lord Jesus, “I and My Father are one” (John 10:30). And it is written in the Scripture, “Philip said to him, Lord, show us the Father, and it suffices us. Jesus said to him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet have you not known me, Philip? he that has seen me has seen the Father; and how say you then, Show us the Father? Believe you not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me?” (John 14:8-10). Then I felt very confused in my heart: The God in heaven said that the Lord Jesus was His beloved Son.Also, the Lord Jesus called God in heaven Father in His prayers. Nevertheless, the Lord Jesus said, “He that has seen me has seen the Father; … I am in the Father, and the Father in me” (John 14:9-10). “I and my Father are one” (John 10:30). So, is the Lord Jesus really the Son or the Father? Ordinarily, the Son is the Son and the Father is the Father. How can they become one? With this confusion, I asked many brothers and sisters in the Lord, including pastors, elders and preachers. They all said that it was a huge mystery so that we man couldn’t explain it clearly by our mind. Consequently, this confusion was with me for many years.

The Significance of God’s Doing the Work of Judgment and Chastisement

On 14/06/2020 By Welcome the Lord Jesus Christ's ReturnIn God’s Words (Selections)Leave a comment

Relevant Words of God:

The work of the last days is to separate all according to their kind, to conclude the management plan of God, for the time is near and the day of God has come. God brings all who have entered His kingdom, that is, all those who have been loyal to Him to the end, into the age of God Himself. However, before the coming of the age of God Himself, the work that God desires to do is not to observe the deeds of man or to inquire about the lives of man, but to judge his rebellion, for God shall purify all those who come before His throne. All those who have followed the footsteps of God to this day are those who have come before the throne of God, hence all who accept the last of God’s work are those to be purified by God. In other words, all those who accept the last of God’s work are those who will be judged by God.

Are You Repeating Thomas’ Mistake?

On 13/06/202023/06/2021 By Welcome the Lord Jesus Christ's ReturnIn Second Coming of JesusLeave a comment

Two thousand years ago, when hearing the news of the Lord’s resurrection, Thomas did not believe it and said that he would only believe it after he saw the resurrected Lord personally. But when Thomas saw with his own eyes the nail marks of the Lord Jesus, it was late to believe and his faith was convicted by the Lord. Just as the Lord Jesus said, “Thomas, because you have seen me, you have believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed” (John 20:29). Today, two thousand years later, the prophecies of the Lord’s return have been basically fulfilled. When some people bear witness the gospel that the Lord has returned, will you believe it and humbly seek and investigate when you hear it, or will you, like Thomas, believe it unless you see the returned Lord standing in front of you? What is your choice? Please read this article below, and you will find the most correct way to practice.

The Days of Noah Have Come. Do You Hear God’s Voice in the Last Days?

On 12/06/202025/11/2020 By Welcome the Lord Jesus Christ's ReturnIn Second Coming of JesusLeave a comment

By Fanyu

Most people are familiar with the ark of Noah, because not only does the Bible record it, but because archaeologists also proved that it really does exist, as it was found in the valley of Mount Ararat in Turkey (which is the place Noah’s ark rests on).

Since Adam and Eve didn’t listen to God’s word, but listened to the enticements of the serpent and ate the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, various corrupt satanic dispositions were planted in humans’ hearts. Mankind became more and more deeply corrupted by Satan. When it got to the time of Noah, the earth was filled with violence, evil and licentiousness. Mankind abandoned themselves to hideous depravity, and incited the wrath of God. The meaning of God’s creation of man in the beginning was lost. So God intended to destroy the deeply corrupted mankind with a flood. But this was not God’s original intention. God hoped that when people heard His words, they could abandon the evil acts in their hands, come before Him, and repent and confess to receive His forgiveness, so that they could continue living. Therefore, God called upon Noah to build an ark and preach the gospel, giving people of that time a chance to repent.

These years, in order to rejuvenate the church, bolster her brothers’ and sisters’ faith as well as her own, Lin Ke has fasted and prayed so many times that she has lost count. Despite all this, all along, she has been unable to feel the Lord’s presence and guidance. She did not understand why God does not listen to her prayers. Could it be that her fasting and prayer was not devout enough?

Lin Ke was sitting in a pavilion by the river side staring blankly into space perplexed about this issue of fasting and prayer when her fellow worker Xiao Jing shouted at her twice before she could hear it.

Job used to offer burnt offerings according to the number of all His children

1 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil. 2 And there were born to him seven sons and three daughters. 3 His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east. 4 And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his day; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them. 5 And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.

Where then do we go to seek out what the Holy Spirit says to the churches? The truth is that the Lord returned long ago as Almighty God, the Christ of the last days. He has incarnated as the Son of man and appeared in China to perform His work. He has expressed all the truths to purify and save mankind, He has performed the work of judgment beginning in God’s house, and He has brought the Age of Grace to an end and begun the Age of Kingdom. Almighty God’s kingdom gospel has now reached the West, and Almighty God’s words have been translated into over 20 languages which are published online for all mankind to seek and investigate. This has fulfilled the prophecy in the Bible that says, “For as the lightning comes out of the east, and shines even to the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be” (Matthew 24:27). In the last days, Almighty God has unveiled the mystery of God’s six-thousand-year management work, revealed the sinful root of humans’ resistance to God, and showed us the path to be purified and saved. These truths are the true light that comes out of the East and shines even to the West. Let’s now read some passages of Almighty God’s words, and we will see for ourselves whether they are the truth, and whether they are the voice of God.
