Foreword | The Church of Almighty God

Foreword

Two thousand years ago, the Jews raised an evil storm of persecuting Jesus. At that time, the entire Jewish nation, from the king to the common people, were condemning Jesus and arresting his disciples. Their persecution was rampant and fierce….

Today, two thousand years later, in Mainland China both the government and the religious world are condemning Christ and persecuting God’s chosen people too. Their means are extremely cruel, base, and malicious. Indeed the devil is reigning and committing bloody atrocities. The horrible atmosphere makes people shudder. Compared with what the Jews did to Jesus two thousand years ago, today’s persecution is even worse. How distressing! How provoking!

However, the word of Almighty God, like a sharp two-edged sword, has completely conquered, saved, and gained a group of people. These people were from various Christian sects and denominations. The majority of them were once deceived by antichrists and wicked servants, and once joined the antichrists in doing many evil things of resisting and condemning Christ. After they were conquered by God’s word, they saw a pleasant scene of God’s working in the church life and regretted that they had been deceived and cheated by the rumors of the antichrists and the evil ones. They bitterly hated the antichrists and eventually uttered remorseful words from their hearts, regretting all their former evil doings and shedding remorseful tears. They wrote down their experiences of being deceived by the antichrists and controlled by the wicked servants in the past as well as their many evil deeds of resisting God, their remorseful hearts self-evident. Now they are following Christ unswervingly and performing their duties faithfully in God’s family. From among many testimony articles by them, we first select several dozen for all those who thirst for God’s appearing to draw lessons from. These articles express their real thoughts. They are testifying Christ with blood and tears. These facts written in blood give people good food for thought: There are too many people who serve God but resist God. How then should we welcome God’s public appearing? When God appears publicly, what kind of people will be blessed and what kind of people will be condemned? These lessons paid for in blood also tell people what it will mean if a person, while ready to welcome God’s public appearing, crucifies Christ again who has come in a hidden way to do the work, what is the nature of those who condemn all the truth expressed by Christ, what kind of people those are who care only for enjoying grace and refuse the truth but still want to enter the kingdom by grace, why the leaders in all sects and denominations condemn and resist Christ so desperately, whether they do so for the sake of preserving their position and livelihood or out of their sincere care for others’ future and destiny, what are the consequences of being deceived by antichrists and wicked servants, who can save you, and what it shows that you believe in God but are controlled by wicked servants. All these things are worth examining and pondering. Besides, there is a crucial issue: In Revelation, it says: “Behold, he comes with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him.” Now, this word has been fulfilled. All those who condemn, attack, and blaspheme Almighty God today are those who pierced him, and they will all see Almighty God’s public appearing and thus weep and gnash their teeth. None of those who pierced him will escape. At that time, God will repay everyone according to what he has done. Do not forget: Woe to those who crucify Christ again! Now, many people still do not wake up but continue condemning Almighty God. They are really those who refuse to be convinced until faced with death!

We publish these several dozen testimony articles on men’s being conquered by the word of Almighty God, so that they can serve as references for all who thirst for God’s appearing but who wander helplessly and find no way to go. We believe that you will surely get the answers from them.
