Wise Virgins Should Not Believe the Rumors

In the last days, God incarnate has appeared in China and expressed the truth to do the work of judging and purifying man. This fulfills “For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God” (1 Peter 4:17). After hearing the words of Almighty God, Christ of the last days, people in all denominations who love the truth and truly thirst for God’s appearance have all recognized that Almighty God is the returned Lord Jesus, and returned to Him. But the CCP government fabricates various rumors to slander Almighty God and His church, saying, “The Church of Almighty God claims that China is under the ruling of the great red dragon (mentioned in the prophecy of Revelation in the Bible), and that the CCP is the great red dragon who comes out to persecute God’s chosen people in the last days, as prophesied in Revelation. It even predicts that the great red dragon will be destroyed by God. The rapid development of The Church of Almighty God is worrying the government, and we fear that it has the political motive of overthrowing the government.” After hearing these rumors, some people who are unaware of the facts dare not investigate the true way. In result, they have fallen into Satan’s schemes and missed the opportunity of being saved by God.

When I see the CCP trumps up various charges against The Church of Almighty God, I cannot help thinking: “How can the CCP, an atheist party, admit the church where the true God works? And who among those in power loves the truth and welcomes the coming of God?” At the time when the Lord Jesus came to do the work of redemption, He was persecuted by the ruling party and the religious world and even had nowhere to rest His head. He worked and spoke and spread the gospel of repentance while enduring the abandonment and resistance of mankind. He had never incited people to start any political movements or to overthrow the government. However, the religious world at that time colluded with the Roman government to crucify the Lord Jesus. Now the returned Lord Jesus Christ, Almighty God, has descended in China to work and speak to save mankind, and likewise, He is persecuted and hunted by the CCP. But despite that, God’s gospel of kingdom has never been hindered. More and more people have returned to Almighty God, and The churches of Almighty God have been built up throughout China and in many other countries. Seeing The Church of Almighty God developing so rapidly, the CCP began to suppress and persecute it on the accusation of having the political motive of overthrowing its ruling. Thus, the devilish substance of the atheist CCP—resisting and hating God—is even more exposed.

God says: “When God carries out His work, He comes not to engage in any building or movements, but to fulfill His ministry. Each time He becomes flesh, it is only to accomplish a stage of work and to launch a new age. Now the Age of Kingdom has arrived, as has the training for the kingdom. This stage of work is not the work of man, and it is not to work man to a particular degree, but is only to complete a portion of God’s work. What He does is not the work of man, it is not to achieve a certain result in working man before leaving earth; it is to fulfill His ministry and finish the work that He ought to do, which is to make proper arrangements for His work on earth, and thereby become glorified.” “The work of every age is initiated by God Himself, but you should know that, whatever the way in which God works, He does not come to start a movement, or to hold special conferences, or to establish any sort of organization on your behalf. He comes solely to carry out the work that He ought to do. His work does not suffer the constraint of any man. He does His work however He wishes; no matter what man thinks or knows of it, He is concerned only with carrying out His work. From the creation of the world to the present, there have already been three stages of work; from Jehovah to Jesus, and from the Age of Law to the Age of Grace, God has never convened a special conference for man, nor has He ever assembled all mankind together in order to convene a special global working conference and thereby extend the domain of His work. All He does is to carry out the initial work of an entire age at an appropriate time and in an appropriate place, thereby ushering in the age and leading the human race in how to live their lives. Special conferences are the congregations of man; assembling people together to celebrate holidays is the work of man. God does not observe holidays and, moreover, finds them abhorrent; He does not convene special conferences and, furthermore, He finds them abhorrent. Now you should understand exactly what is the work that is done by the incarnate God!(“The Mystery of the Incarnation (3)” in The Word Appears in the Flesh). God’s words have made it very plain that God incarnate comes only to perform His ministry and do the work that He ought to, expressing words to judge and purify man. God’s words have revealed to us humans the mysteries of His six-thousand-year management plan and the inside story of the three stages of His work, revealed to us how Satan corrupts man and how God saves man, His work of judgment in the last days, as well as the meaning of His work, what kind of people will be saved and what kind of people will be punished and destroyed, and so on. God demands that we pursue the truth and put the truth into practice, and not follow the evil worldly trends to do evil, so that we may ultimately achieve obedience to Him and a knowledge of Him. Never does He ask us to participate in politics. Since we, as Christians, have received God’s salvation, we are responsible and obliged to spread the gospel to testify Him, in order that all those who have not believed in God or known Him will come before Him to investigate the true way, accept the truth, and thus attain salvation. It is not only God’s commission but also our duty to carry out God’s will. Just as God says: “You must know I am the One who bestows life unto mankind, and it is you who receive life from Me and must bear witness for Me. This is your duty which I send down upon you and which you ought to do for Me(“What Do You Know of Faith?” in The Word Appears in the Flesh). We believers in God preach the gospel only for the sake of spreading the words expressed by God, and testifying and preaching about how God does His work, and how He saves man. And when those who love the truth see God’s words and hear His voice, they will all return to the Creator. The rapid growth of The Church of Almighty God is an irresistible trend, which is preordained by God.

Then why is the CCP so fearful when The Church of Almighty God expands rapidly? This is because Almighty God is carrying out the work of saving man during the last days, and once His words spread throughout mankind, all those who love the truth will return to Almighty God and worship Him, and no one will follow the CCP any longer. Therefore, the CCP is terribly frightened of all the truths that Almighty God expresses. During more than twenty years since Almighty God started to work, the CCP has confiscated innumerable books produced by The Church of Almighty God. But why does it never dare to make public the book The Word Appears in the Flesh, the words in which are expressed by Almighty God? Why does it not dare to let people all over the world read or listen to Almighty God’s words to see whether they are God’s personal utterances, and whether they are God’s voice? And why does it not dare to openly let the public listen to the testimony of the Christians of The Church of Almighty God and see what work God is doing in the last days and how He is saving man? The CCP simply doesn’t dare to do so, because it is afraid that if The Church of Almighty God continues testifying to the work of God incarnate and His words like this, and if the words in the book The Word Appears in the Flesh are spread and testified to the world, the whole of mankind will accept His work of the last days after hearing His voice, and then the CCP will be unable to deceive, fool, or corrupt people in the world any longer, and the evil world under its control will cease to exist. Therefore, in order to establish an eternal godless realm in the world so it can rule China throughout the ages, the CCP frantically suppresses, slanders, and discredits The Church of Almighty God, and cruelly persecutes the Christians. That totally exposes its devilish substance of hating the truth and resisting God.

Think back to over sixty years since the CCP was in power. It has been persecuting those who have religious beliefs. In 1950, the CCP government forcibly separated the Chinese Catholic Church from the Vatican, and left it under the management of the Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association. Besides, it established the Three-Self Church and put it under its control, the atheist CCP. Meanwhile, it closed down or banned all the other churches. Those who refused to join the Three-Self Church would be forbidden to have meetings, and whoever was caught having a meeting would be sentenced, and their life might even be in danger. And so, those who had religious beliefs were subject to the brutal suppression and persecution from the CCP, and millions of Christians were castigated and imprisoned. In 1983, when the revival of the church reached its peak, the CCP launched a new round of cruel suppression. Millions of Christians were snatched, put in prison, or reeducated through labor. In recent years, the CCP has condemned all the churches that believe in Christ as cults, openly labeled the Bible as a cult book, and even burned the Bibles they have confiscated or dumped them into the sea. Meanwhile, a large number of churches and crosses have been demolished, and a lot of preachers in every denomination were arrested and sentenced. Ever since Almighty God incarnate carried out His work in China in 1991, the CCP government has taken action to resist God and capture Christians throughout China, bringing to people a great sense of terror and shock. To abolish Almighty God’s work of the last days, the CCP has called numerous secret meetings and issued many secret documents, and embarked on a full-scale monitoring and arrest of Christians. Moreover, it has carried out various conspiracies and schemes: having advanced monitors installed on each street and each village to keep the Christians of The Church of Almighty God under close surveillance; using the media such as television, radio, newspapers, social networks, and so on, to wantonly fabricate rumors, to slander, frame, and smear The Church of Almighty God; forcibly carrying out brainwashing and indoctrinating people with evil teachings and fallacies; sending spies to investigate openly and inquire secretly, carrying out arbitrary searches of God’s chosen people’s houses, secretly arresting them, using torture to extort confessions from them, and killing some of them in secret, and even deploying a large number of policemen, including the armed police and the SWAT, to go about pursuing and persecuting God’s chosen people of The Church of Almighty God in every possible way, bloodily suppressing them for a long period of time. During more than 20 years since the beginning of God’s work of the last days, as many as millions of Christians have been arrested and detained by the CCP, and among them a dozen or so were tortured to death. Countless people have been displaced and lived a vagrant life because they are wanted or hunted, countless people have endured all kinds of insults and torture after being arrested, and lived a hell of a life in prison, suffering greater than death. For example, Zhang Zhaoqi (male, 45 years old), a Christian of The Church of Almighty God, was arrested by the police at a meeting place in Qinyuan County, Shanxi Province, and was later beaten to death by them with wooden sticks.

Within 6 days from Dec.11 to Dec.16 in 2012, nine police stations under Tonghua Municipal Bureau of Jilin Province, captured 34 Christians who preached the gospel, and exacted a ransom of about 38,500 RMB in total from them.

In December, 2012, the CCP government arrested 400 members of Eastern Lightning in central China and up to 1,000 in all the other provinces.

The CCP hates God and resists God to an extreme extent that it attempts to drive away and exterminate all the Christians of The Church of Almighty God. Its crimes of resisting God are too numerous to record. On the surface, it proclaims the freedom of religious belief, but in reality, its purpose is to deceive the people of the world and cover up the fact of its slaughtering and persecuting Christians under the banner of allowing religious freedom.

Many people have seen clearly that the CCP has committed countless sins, but never know why it hates the truth and hates God so much. In origin, the CCP demon is the embodiment of Satan, the devil and is hostile to God. In the mid-19th century, a specter—the specter of communism—appeared over Europe, and Marx established the communist fallacies and heresies, namely the Satanism, and advocated violent revolution. The foundation of the Communist Party in Europe brought great disaster to the whole of Europe, and hundreds of millions of people were harmed and slaughtered because of the appearance of this evil spirit. Later, it evolved into the Chinese Communist Party. Since the CCP began to rule China, it has been attempting to keep the whole of mankind under its control and drag them into hell. The CCP, a group of devils who frantically opposes God, not only slaughters and abuses people, but does its utmost to deceive people, deny God and the truth, seek to control all mankind and make them treat it as God, and eventually leads people to deny God to the extreme. Now people of the world have seen clearly the evil and reactionary essence of the CCP, a group of devils, and started to expose and criticize its crimes—the disasters it has brought to mankind. This is the irresistible trend, entirely ordained by God. God wants people to see through the substance of this devil who has devoured countless souls of men, and drunk the blood of numerous saints, so that they can abandon this devil, Satan.

As is known to all the brothers and sisters believing in the Lord Jesus, Revelation 12:9 says, “And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceives the whole world.” The CCP is the embodiment of the great red dragon, and is Satan in the spiritual realm. Today, if you still fail to see through the CCP’s true face and its rebellious and reactionary essence, and blindly believe its rumors and nonsense, then you will surely lose God’s last salvation, and so your years of expectation for the Lord’s return will also come to nothing. The work Almighty God does in the last days is the work of judgment and purification based on the Lord Jesus’ redemptive work, which is for the purpose that man may thoroughly break away from the dark influence of Satan so as to attain God’s salvation and enter the wonderful destination. It is also the last stage of work of God’s six-thousand-year management plan, which decides whether we can be saved and enter the kingdom of heaven. God’s word says: “The return of Jesus is a great salvation for those who are capable of accepting the truth, but for those who are unable to accept the truth it is a sign of condemnation. You should choose your own path, and should not blaspheme against the Holy Spirit and reject the truth. You should not be an ignorant and arrogant person, but someone who obeys the guidance of the Holy Spirit and longs for and seeks the truth; only in this way will you benefit(“By the Time You Behold the Spiritual Body of Jesus, God Will Have Made Heaven and Earth Anew” in The Word Appears in the Flesh). God’s sheep hear God’s voice. Do you want to be a wise virgin to hear God’s voice or a foolish virgin to believe Satan’s lies?
