English Christian Song | "How to Know the Appearance and Work of Christ in the Last Days"

I
He who is God incarnate shall possess God's essence, and He who is God incarnate shall possess God's expression. Since God becomes flesh, He shall bring forth the work He intends to do, and since God becomes flesh, He shall express what He is, and shall be able to bring the truth to man, bestow life upon him, and point the way for him. Flesh that does not have the essence of God is decidedly not the incarnate God; of this there is absolutely no doubt.

II
If man intends to inquire into whether it is God's incarnate flesh, then he must corroborate this from the disposition He expresses and the words He speaks. To corroborate whether or not it's God's incarnate flesh, and whether or not it is the true way, one must discriminate on the basis of His essence. And so, in determining whether it is the flesh of God incarnate, the key lies in His essence (His work, His utterances, His disposition, and many other aspects), rather than external appearance.

III
If man scrutinizes only His external appearance, and as a result overlooks His essence, this shows that man is benighted and ignorant. External appearance cannot determine essence; what's more, the work of God can never conform to man's notions. Did not Jesus' outward appearance run counter to the notions of man? Were not His countenance and dress unable to provide any clues as to His true identity?

IV
The earliest Pharisees opposed Jesus precisely because they merely looked at His external appearance, and did not take to heart the words in His mouth. It's My hope that each and every brother and sister who seeks the appearance of God will not repeat the tragedy of history. You must not become the Pharisees of modern times and nail God to the cross again. You should carefully consider how to welcome the return of God, and you should have a clear mind regarding how to be someone who submits to the truth. This is the responsibility of everyone who is waiting for Jesus to return riding upon a cloud.
