From the signs such as frequent disasters around the world, many people see that the prophecies of the Lord’s return have basically been fulfilled, so it stands to reason that the Lord should return. Then how exactly will the Lord come again? Some people cling to the idea of the Lord coming with clouds, so they just keep waiting for the Lord to come upon clouds and bring His believers into the kingdom of heaven. In fact, the coming of the Lord in the last days happens in two ways, coming upon a cloud is not the only way, but there is another way of the Lord’s return—coming in secret in the flesh. Just as the Lord Jesus said: “Behold, I come as a thief” (Revelation 16:15). “Be you therefore ready also: for the Son of man comes at an hour when you think not” (Luke 12:40). “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). The Lord said “as a thief” here, which indicates that the Lord would come quietly and descend secretly and no one would recognize Him even when they saw Him. The “Son of man” refers to a man who is born to a human and has normal humanity. If the Lord first came with clouds and everyone could see Him, then He wouldn’t be likely to come as a thief, and there would be no need for Him to stand at the door and knock. From this we can see that first the Lord will become flesh and arrive in secret and then appear publicly to all mankind when He returns. If we only cling to the one way the Lord will come with clouds, we will surely fail to welcome the Lord.
Christ Does the Work of Judgment With the Truth
Now the entire religious world becomes more desolate day by day and evil deeds are more and more common in churches. The religious world has lost the Holy Spirit’s work and has degenerated into a religious place like Babylon the Great, cursed and reviled by the Lord. So, people’s only way out is to break through the bondage of antichrists in the religious world and escape from the religious Babylon to find the church that has the Holy Spirit’s work. Now God has become flesh and descended among man, and He has begun to do the judgment work in the last days. The work of the Holy Spirit has shifted to those who accept God’s work in the last days. So only those who accept Almighty God’s work in the last days can gain the life sustenance and can be truly saved.

Almighty God’s Work Has Caused Us to Walk the Same Path as Husband and Wife
Throughout all of history, Satan has never stopped its persecution of believers in God. Especially in China, where the Chinese Communist Party exercises control, every believer is persecuted by the CCP. Countless Christians, because of following the right path by believing in God, have been ordered to be arrested, seized, sentenced to prison, and subjected to torture, and some even have been tortured to death. So many have been forced into exile and wandered across the country, spilling their blood and tears. In the midst of oppression and calamity, however, they still prayed to God and called out to God, finally overcoming the savage torture and the fear of death under the guidance of God’s words. In the spiritual battles, they triumphed over Satan, and bore testimony to God.

How to Pray: Resolving 3 Issues Is Key
The Lord Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6). “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:32).
Almighty God says, “Whether the words spoken by God be plain or profound in outward appearance, they are all truths indispensable to man as he enters into life; they are the fount of living waters that enables man to survive in both spirit and flesh. They provide what man needs to stay alive; the principles and creed for conducting his daily life; the path, goal, and direction through which he must pass in order to receive salvation; every truth that he should possess as a created being before God; and every truth about how man obeys and worships God. They are the guarantee that ensures man’s survival, they are man’s daily bread, and they are also the sturdy support that enables man to be strong and stand up. They are rich in the reality of the truth of normal humanity as it is lived out by created mankind, rich in the truth by which mankind breaks free from corruption and eludes Satan’s snares, rich in the tireless teaching, exhortation, encouragement, and solace that the Creator gives to created humanity. They are the beacon that guides and enlightens men to understand all that is positive, the guarantee which ensures that men will live out and come into possession of all that is righteous and good, the criterion by which all people, events, and objects are measured, and also the navigation marker that leads men toward salvation and the path of light.”
The words of God tell us that God provides all the truths we need in life. If we can live by God’s words, all our problems can be solved.

The Biblical Prophecies Are Fulfilled: How Will the Lord Come?
Nowadays disasters such as earthquakes, plagues, and famines are occurring one after another and they are getting more and more severe. The signs of the Lord’s coming have appeared. Many godly believers have a feeling that the Lord should have returned, and many people are testifying that the Lord has already returned. But some people feel confused: “Why have we not yet seen the Lord come with clouds and rapture us into the kingdom of heaven?” Have you thought about whether you are making a mistake in welcoming the Lord? Is the Lord returning with clouds the only way by which He will come?”
Actually, the Bible not only contains prophecies about the Lord coming with clouds, but there are also prophecies that He will come secretly like a thief. It’s just that this has been ignored by us. Then how will the Lord return? How exactly are the prophecies of the two ways of the Lord’s coming fulfilled?

God’s Attitude Toward Sinners
The Lord Jesus said: “Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Matthew 4:17). Then what is true repentance?
Some people will say, “After believing in the Lord, I don’t swear or fight, and I can be consciously patient and restrained when encountering events that are not to my liking, and I no longer get angry as easily as before. So, this is true repentance.” Some say, “I used to have some bad habits, such as smoking, and playing games, but now I have changed these bad habits, so this is true repentance.” Do you also think that you have true repentance, and can be directly raptured into the kingdom of heaven when the Lord returns, because you have fewer bad behaviors, can do more good deeds and confess to the Lord after sinning?
But have you seen this fact? For 2000 years, many believers have confessed their sins after committing sins, but none of them has gotten rid of the bondage of sin. Although we have some good deeds on the outside, we can still lie and deceive, be jealous of people, and look down on people. We often commit these sins, so how could we say we have true repentance? The Lord Jesus said, “Whoever commits sin is the servant of sin. And the servant stays not in the house for ever: but the son stays ever” (John 8:34–35). According to the words of the Lord Jesus, sinners cannot enter the kingdom of God. So, what should we do to get rid of the bondage of sin and achieve true repentance?

Why Does God Allow Suffering?
Almighty God says, “What does this word, “faith,” refer to? Faith is the genuine belief and the sincere heart that humans should possess when they cannot see or touch something, when God’s work does not align with human notions, when it is beyond human reach. This is the faith that I speak of. People are in need of faith during times of hardship and refinement, and faith is something that is followed by refinement; refinement and faith cannot be separated. No matter how God works, and no matter your environment, you are able to pursue life and seek the truth, and seek knowledge of God’s work, and have an understanding of His actions, and you are able to act according to the truth. Doing so is what it is to have true faith, and doing so shows that you have not lost faith in God.” “Therefore, only when you have faith and you do not harbor doubts toward God, only when you have true faith in Him no matter what He does, will He enlighten and illuminate you through your experiences, and only then will you be able to see His actions. These things are all achieved through faith. Faith comes only through refinement, and in the absence of refinement, faith cannot develop.”

How Can Christians Defeat All Sorts of Temptations? (Audio Essay)
Almighty God says: “Now, does man live by bread alone? The Lord Jesus fasted for forty days and nights. Did He starve to death? (No.) He did not starve to death, so Satan approached Him, prompting Him to turn the stones into food by saying things such as: ‘If You turn the stones into food, won’t You then have things to eat? Won’t You then not have to fast, not have to go hungry?’ But the Lord Jesus said, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone,’ which means that, although man lives in a physical body, it is not food that allows his physical body to live and breathe, but each and every one of the words uttered from the mouth of God. On the one hand, these words are truth; they give people faith, making them feel that they can depend on God and that He is truth. On the other hand, is there a practical aspect to these words? Was the Lord Jesus not still standing, still alive after fasting for forty days and nights? Is this not a real example? He had not eaten any food for forty days and nights, and yet He was still alive. This is powerful evidence confirming the truth of His words. … This truth, these words—whether the content of His speech be long or short—can enable man to live and give man life; they can enable people to gain truth and clarity about the path of human life, and enable them to have faith in God.”
