  • The Lord is knocking at the door,

  • but how will He knock?

  • How is the Lord going to knock on the door?

  • Who is it?

  • Hello, Sister!

  • Hello! Sister.

  • Who are you?

  • We're people of faith.

  • We saw the couplet adorning your doorway,

  • so we knew you also believe in the Lord.

  • We knocked on your door, hoping to fellowship with you.

  • Yes.

  • I understand now. Please come in!

  • Good. Thank God!

  • Sister, Brother,

  • we have a question that we would like to discuss with you.

  • Oh, what is the question?

  • All of us who believe in the Lord are waiting for Him to return.

  • We've waited till today and haven't seen the Lord descend on a cloud.

  • There are worse disasters these days,

  • and nearly all of the prophecies concerning the Lord's return have come true.

  • Many people feel that the Lord should have already returned.

  • Why, then, have we still not welcomed the Lord back to us?

  • Could it be that the Lord has already appeared and is somehow working,

  • without our knowledge?

  • How do you feel about these things?

  • The Lord appeared somewhere and is at work?

  • But that's impossible!

  • The Lord in the last days will descend in great glory upon a cloud for all to see.

  • This is what Lord Jesus said.

  • Yes.

  • We haven't seen the Lord arrive on a cloud just yet,

  • so how can you say the Lord has returned?

  • I think that by taking His time to descend on a cloud,

  • the Lord is trying us and testing our confidence.

  • If we cling to the name of the Lord and hold fast to His way,

  • regardless of what adversity we meet, if we persist in spreading the gospel,

  • when the Lord does come,

  • He will take us up into the kingdom of heaven.

  • That is what we think.

  • Sister, now everyone expects the Lord to descend upon a cloud.

  • This agrees with the Lord's words.

  • But the Lord's prophecy of His return in the last days does not only refer to this aspect.

  • The Lord also prophesied:

  • Amen!

  • If the Lord returns in the last days, descending directly on a cloud,

  • how do you explain those prophecies, and how exactly do they come true?

  • There are many prophecies about the Lord's return.

  • We can't be certain about the method of the Lord's return

  • based on one utterance of the Lord.

  • Can you agree with that?

  • Yes, that makes sense.

  • In these passages of scripture,

  • the Lord Jesus mentioned "at midnight there was a cry made"

  • and also "as a thief."

  • From those passages we can conclude,

  • that during the darkest hour, when there is no sign,

  • the Lord will come quietly.

  • The Lord's coming isn't something everyone will know about.

  • Only a few people will know about His coming,

  • and announce the good news of the Lord's arrival to others "at midnight."

  • This explanation of yours is so clear.

  • I thank God!

  • When the churches are universally desolate, without the work of the Holy Spirit,

  • when believers are most bogged down,

  • someone may bear witness of the Lord's return.

  • Revelation also says:

  • Amen!

  • That means that everyone who welcomes the Lord should focus on hearing the voice of the Lord,

  • and seek out what the Holy Spirit is saying to the churches.

  • This is key.

  • If a particular church has the voice and words of the Holy Spirit,

  • could this be the appearance of God, the work of God?

  • If we see the utterances of the Holy Spirit,

  • is this not hearing the voice of God, is it not welcoming the Lord's arrival?

  • That's the only way we can sit with the Lord at the banquet!

  • Do you think the things that I've told you are correct?

  • Yes I do! This has been very enlightening,

  • I think you're right! (Great!)

  • Yes. We've read the word of the Lord many times before in fact,

  • but never saw the light in it.

  • Hearing this fellowship of yours today has really opened my heart.

  • Thank God!

  • In regard to welcoming the Lord's return,

  • we really must seek out the words of the Holy Spirit for the churches.

  • We've come today to share with you the words that the Holy Spirit has for the churches.

  • I invite you to listen.

  • If you're able to hear the voice of God in these words,

  • you ought to learn more about the true way.

  • Words spoken by the Holy Spirit? Please, go ahead. (Sure.)

  • Okay.

  • I'll start by reading a couple of passages to you.

  • Good.

  • These words are profound.

  • I feel they are inspired by the Holy Spirit.

  • Yes.

  • Thank God! I will read another passage to you, then.

  • Great!

  • The words explain so clearly how to look for God when He appears.

  • Yes, these words aren't the words of an ordinary person.

  • Surely they were inspired by the Holy Spirit.

  • Thank God! I will read another passage.

  • Good!

  • God has reappeared in the flesh? That's impossible!

  • The pastor often tells us

  • that anyone who preaches that the Lord has returned in human flesh is just lying.

  • The Lord Jesus said that He would return the same way He left.

  • He ascended to heaven on a cloud as a resurrected spiritual body.

  • The Lord will most certainly descend on a cloud in the same form.

  • Everyone will be able to see it, so there's no need for bearing witness.

  • I see it now! You're followers of Almighty God.

  • You're preaching Eastern Lightning!

  • I've heard enough. Please leave!

  • Sisters, this discussion was enlightening,

  • but, as the pastor often reminds us

  • anyone who testifies that God has appeared in human form is lying.

  • Welcoming the Lord is important.

  • We must consider this further,

  • if another chance comes, we'll talk more.

  • Sister Yang, Brother Zheng, we must base our belief on what the Lord says.

  • Why do you always believe what the pastor tells you?

  • Are you aware that the Pharisees once condemned the Lord Jesus?

  • Have you read the words that the Lord Jesus said, cursing the Pharisees?

  • The pastor may tell you that whoever preaches that God has returned in the flesh is a liar.

  • But that isn't in the Bible.

  • Did the Lord Jesus ever say that?

  • That the Lord would return as the Son of man in the last days,

  • does have a biblical foundation. (Yes.)

  • The Lord Jesus said,

  • In the last days, the Lord Jesus' spiritual body will come on a cloud.

  • To come in the flesh would be impossible!

  • Please leave, we have nothing more to discuss!

  • Sister, just let us read a few more passages to you.

  • When you hear it, you'll understand.

  • We have no way to know if these words are the Holy Spirit's words for the churches.

  • We've had enough of your preaching. Go away!

  • Perhaps we'll continue this discussion later.

  • All right. We'll drop by again some time.

  • Hello.

  • Hello, Aiguang. (I see you're keeping busy.)

  • Yes.

  • Pastor Jia.

  • Hey, it's Sister Yang.

  • Hi, Sister Yang.

  • Brother Wu is here, too.

  • You're watering the vegetables. (Yes, watering the vegetables.)

  • Have a seat.

  • Thank you.

  • Here you go, have some water.

  • Thank you so much.

  • Pastor Jia, (Yes.)

  • this morning some people came to my house preaching Eastern Lightning.

  • I sent them away.

  • But afterward, I was a little bothered by it.

  • Oh?

  • For years, we've taken precautions against Eastern Lightning,

  • but we hadn't had contact with their people until today.

  • Their testimony of the Lord's return is compatible with the Bible prophecy.

  • Much of what they said made sense.

  • Pastor Jia, shouldn't we also be trying to listen for the voice of the Lord?

  • I think, if the Holy Spirit is trying to speak to us,

  • it is wrong of us not to listen.

  • It is absolutely necessary to hear the words of the Holy Spirit.

  • If Eastern Lightning really is the work of the Lord,

  • and we refuse to listen,

  • won't we miss the Lord's return?

  • Pastor Jia, tell me, am I wrong?

  • Sister Yang,

  • you have been a preacher for the Lord for many years,

  • and you understand the Bible.

  • How can you be deceived by a few phrases spoken to you by these people?
