Now I understand why God is incarnated to do the work. I feel enlightened.

The Lord would return to do the work of judgment in the last days.

I have no objection to that.

However, I have one question.

Go ahead.

Why does God have to do the work of judgment

during the last days through incarnation?

Yes, why is He incarnated?

During the Age of Law, God used Moses to work.

Can't God also use man to do His judgment work in the last days? (Yes.)

I don't understand it, so please explain.

Will you please fellowship with us again?

Yes.

Brother Lin, that's quite important, your question.

I'd like to talk about it. Good question.

It's right. Yes. A good question indeed.

Keep this in mind! We shall not forget!

Jesus will take us into the kingdom of heaven! (That's right.)

He won't be incarnated to do the work of judgment! (Amen!)

Right! When Jesus returns, He can't become flesh! (Amen!)

You say it's impossible for God to become flesh. Is that for us to decide?

When the Lord Jesus came to earth, people didn't acknowledge Him or accept Him,

because He was not named Messiah. But the Lord Jesus was Messiah.

Isn't it a fact? How do you explain that?

God's incarnation is a mystery.

In it there is God's will, disposition, and His almightiness and wisdom.

Mm. Yes.

It is true that the Lord Jesus was nailed to the cross.

But think of this: What is the meaning of His death?

His crucifixion is what redeemed all of mankind.

And God gained glory. Wasn't it God's wisdom?

Can you fathom that?

Who can fathom God's work?

God's thoughts are always higher than mankind's.

All of God's ways are higher than man's ways.

God's wisdom can't be fathomed by man.

In everything God does there're mysteries, which is beyond mankind's thoughts.

Mm.

People think that by biblical letters and words, their notions and imaginations,

they are capable of perceiving God's mysteries and wisdom.

Aren't they too arrogant?

God created the heavens, earth, and all things. God rules over everything.

So as we all know, in God's first incarnation He was an ordinary man,

His name Jesus.

Was this in accord with man's conceptions?

Who thought of that? Who figured it out?

No one figured it out.

Yeah. (Yes.)

Before God does His work, no one can predict how He'll come,

or predict how He'll work. We just don't know.

People stubbornly try to define God's work with their own imaginations.

They're really reckless and ignorant.

All right, everyone, let's calm down.

Let's listen to the brothers from the Church of Almighty God.

Okay. You may continue. (Thank you.)

Brother, your question is quite practical. (Yes.)

About why God must be incarnated to do the work of judgment in the last days,

most believers who seek the truth and God's appearance care the most about it.

It also relates to whether man can be taken into the kingdom of heaven.

So it's very important to understand this truth.

Why must God do the work of judgment through incarnation

and not by the use of man?

It's determined by the nature of the work of judgment. (Mm.)

For the work of judgment is God expressing the truth

and His righteous disposition to conquer, purify, and save man.

Let's read Almighty God's words.

From Almighty God's words we know,

God's work of judgment in the last days is to express a variety of truths,

God's disposition, what God has and is, and to reveal all the mysteries.

It's to judge man's satanic nature of resisting and betraying God,

to reveal and dissect their words and deeds,

and illustrate to man His holy and righteous substance,

His intolerance of offense.

In the judgment of God's word,

God's chosen people are revealed and judged as if they're face to face with Him.

To judge mankind, God must make all of them see His righteous disposition,

which makes man seemingly see God's holy substance

and the great light that comes from heaven,

and mankind sees God's words pierce their hearts like a double edged sword,

and they suffer badly by that.

Only in this way can they know their corrupt substance and true situation.

They feel ashamed, disgraced to show their faces.

They fully fall down before God and repent to Him.

Then they can accept truth and be a man by God's word,

thus escaping from Satan's influence, and being saved and perfected by God.

To do the work of judging, and purifying, and saving all mankind,

God needs to do it in person through incarnation.

Yes. We've experienced the judgment of Almighty God's words

and tasted that His holy and righteous disposition

is intolerant of man's offense.

Every word of God is holy and majestic. It pierces our hearts.

Our satanic nature that resists and betrays God

and even our corrupt disposition deep within which we can't perceive

are revealed thoroughly.

We've come to realize

that our nature is full of arrogance and conceit.

We're full of contempt. We're selfish, crooked and crafty.

When we live according to these things, we're living like ghosts,

without any human likeness. We are hateful to God.

We're all ashamed and regretful

when we discover our evil and baseness.

We don't deserve to live in God's presence.

We fall before God, willing to accept His salvation.

It is when we experience the judgment of Almighty God's words

that we truly see God's appearance;

God's holiness cannot be defiled, righteousness not offended.

We understand God's kind intentions of saving man, His love for man.

We see our substance being corrupted by Satan.

We then have a sincere reverence for God.

We readily accept the truth, obey all God's arrangements.

Our corrupt disposition will gradually be cleansed.

We owe our change today

to the judgment work that is carried out by God incarnate.

Therefore, only if the God incarnate does His work of judgment

by expressing the truth, God's righteous disposition, and what God has and is,

can we see the appearance of the true light and appearance of God.

And thus people can gain a true knowledge of God

and can be purified and be saved.

No one except Christ can judge us and do the work of judgment in the last days.

Let's have a look at Almighty God's words.

These words are so practical.

Can't God judge people by using man?

From Almighty God's words, it's clear that

to do the work of judgment in the last days,

God must do it by expressing His truth, disposition,

almightiness and wisdom, so as to conquer, purify, and perfect man.

This work of judgment is the work God personally appears to do,

as well as the work of opening and ending an age.

All this work must be done by the God incarnate. No one else can do God's work.

Why is it that so many people believe

that God should use a man to do all the work, rather than through incarnation?

That's just ludicrous.

Does all of mankind truly and honestly welcome God's coming?

Why do so many people always want God to do the work by using man?

I think it's because man's work is compatible with the conceptions of man

that people easily adore, exalt, and follow man.

Meanwhile,

God's work is never in line with man's notions, nor palatable for them.

So it's quite hard to be compatible with God.

Yes. That's right.

God in substance is the truth, the way, and the life.

God's disposition is holy, intolerant of offense.

However, man is deeply corrupted by Satan, full of its disposition.

They're not compatible with God.

Therefore, people find it hard to accept the work of God incarnate.

They won't investigate.

They take the work of those they adore and blindly believe in them.

They believe that as God's work, and they accept it.

That causes a problem.

Obviously, people just don't know what it means

to believe in God or to experience God's work.

Therefore, during the last days God must become flesh to express the truth

and to solve all the problems of corrupt mankind.

Regarding the question why doesn't God use man to do the work of judgment,

isn't that obvious?

Man's substance is man. Man does not possess the divine substance.

Man can't express the truth, God's disposition, or what God has and is.

Man is incapable of saving mankind. (Yes.)

Besides, man is corrupted by Satan and has sinful nature.

How could he be qualified to judge others?

Man is totally corrupt. They can't cleanse or save themselves.

They don't know how.

How could they possibly cleanse and save others? (Yes.)

If man is the judge, no one would be convinced.

They'd bring disgrace to themselves.

Only God is holy and righteous, and only God is the truth, the way, the life.

So God's judgment in the last days must be done by the God incarnate.

No one else can do that. This is a fact.

Everyone, can't we understand that?

That's right. If God used corrupt man to do the work of judgment,

what would be the result? It would be a lot worse.

Exactly. If we can't accept that God's incarnated to do judgment work,

aren't we the blind ones who don't know God?

God's incarnation reveals people so much.

That's true. This is why God judges through incarnation.

God is so wise. (Exactly.)

Then why did God use man to do the work in the Age of Law?

Because the work was different from the work of judgment in the last days.

Those in the Age of Law were a newborn human race, shallowly corrupted by Satan.

So the work done by Jehovah was only to issue the commandments

to lead and guide the people living on earth.

The change of man's disposition didn't involve that stage of work.

God didn't need to express more truths.

He only needed to use man to convey the laws He issued to the Israelites.

What He wanted them to know was to abide by the laws and to worship Jehovah.

He wanted them to live a normal life. Then that work was completed.

So by using Moses, God could just get the work done at that time.

He didn't need to be incarnated to work personally. (Yes. Mm.)

However,

God's work of judgment in the last days is to save the corrupted mankind.

It can't be achieved by expressing just a few pieces or conveying some laws.

Yes.

God has to express many truths.

God has to fully express His inherent disposition and what He has and is,

and open up the truth, the way, and the life to man.

Man feels as if God appears to them face to face,

making them understand the truth and know God,

thereby purifying and perfecting humans thoroughly.

This requires God to be incarnated, do it personally. No one else can do it.

It's all right for God to use prophets to convey pieces of God's word.

But God won't allow prophets to express His disposition,

to express what He has and is, or to express all of His truths.

Man's not qualified.

If God used man to express all His dispositions and all His truths,

it would easily shame God.

Man has a corrupt disposition and will express human notions,

and has impurity in working.

That would easily bring shame to God and affect the results of His work.

Also man would easily take what man has and is as what God has and is.

They would take man's impurities as truth

and would then misunderstand and shame God. (Yes.)

Man has mixtures in working. Man cannot express the truth on God's behalf.

Yes. What shames God are impurities. (That's right.)

So then, if God used man to express His disposition and all His truths,

due to man's impurities, others would not be convinced but would even resist it.

Satan would find fault and accuse it,

stirring up man's hatred for God, and they'd establish their own kingdom.
