The work I have planned keeps pressing forward without a moment’s surcease. Having moved into the Age of Kingdom, and having carried you into My kingdom as My people, I will have other demands to make of you; that is to say, I will begin to promulgate before you the constitution with which I will govern this era:
Since you are called My people, you should be able to glorify My name, that is, stand testimony in the midst of trial. If anyone attempts to deceive Me and conceal the truth from Me, or engage in disreputable dealings behind My back, they will without exception be chased out, removed from My house to await summary action. Those who have been unfaithful and disobedient to Me in the past, and today rise up again to judge Me openly, they too will be chased out from My house. Those who are My people must constantly care for My burdens as well as seek to know My words. Only people like this will I enlighten, and they will surely live under My guidance and enlightenment, never meeting with chastisement. Those who, failing to care for My burdens, concentrate on planning for their own futures, that is, those who do not aim with their doings to satisfy My heart but rather to cadge a handout, these beggar-like creatures I absolutely refuse to use, because from the time they were born they know nothing of what it means to care for My burdens. They are people with abnormal sense; people like this are suffering from “malnutrition” of the brain, and need to go home for some “nourishment.” I have no use for people of this kind. Among My people, everyone will be required to regard knowing Me as an obligatory duty to be fulfilled to the end, like eating, dressing, and sleeping, something that one never forgets about for a moment, so that in the end knowing Me will become a familiar skill like eating, something you do effortlessly, with a practiced hand. As for the words I speak, every single one must be taken with the utmost certainty and fully assimilated; there can be no perfunctory half-measures. Anyone who does not pay attention to My words will be regarded as directly opposing Me; anyone who does not eat My words, or does not seek to know them, will be regarded as not giving Me attention, and will directly be swept out the door of My house. For, as I have said in the past, what I desire is not a great many people, but a select few. Out of a hundred people, if only one is able to know Me through My words, then I would willingly throw away all the others to focus on enlightening and illuminating this single one. From this you can see, it is not necessarily true that greater numbers alone can manifest Me, live out Me. What I want is wheat (even though the kernels may not be full) and not tares (even when the kernels are full enough to call for admiration). As for those who give no regard to seeking but instead behave in a slack manner, they should leave of their own accord; I don’t wish to see them anymore, lest they go on bringing disgrace to My name. On what I require of My people, I will stop at these precepts for now, and will wait to make further sanctions depending on how circumstances change.
In days past, the great majority of people thought I was the God Himself of wisdom, that I was the very God who saw deep into the hearts of men; but it was all superficial talk. If man had truly known Me, he would not have presumed to leap to conclusions, but would have kept on trying to know Me through My words. Only when he had arrived at a stage where he truly saw My deeds, would he have been worthy to say that I was Wise, that I was Wonderful. Your knowledge of Me is too shallow. Throughout the ages, how many people have served Me for how many years and, having seen My deeds, really came to know something of Me; and so they always had a submissive heart toward Me, not daring to harbor the least intention of opposing Me, because how difficult it is to seek out My footprints. Among these people were those who, absent My guidance, dared not act rashly, and so, after living through many years’ experience, they eventually generalized a portion of knowledge about Me, saying that I am Wise, Wonderful and Counselor, that My words are like a double-edged sword, that My deeds are great, astounding, and wondrous, that I am robed in majesty, that My wisdom reaches higher than the firmament, and other insights. But today you are only knowing Me on the foundation they have laid, so the great majority of you, like parrots, are just mouthing the words that they have spoken. It is only because I take into account how shallow is the way in which you know Me and how poor your “education” is that I have spared you so much chastisement. But even so, the great majority of you still do not know yourselves, or think you have already reached My will in your deeds, and for this reason have escaped judgment. Or you think that, after becoming flesh, I have completely lost track of man’s doings, and for this reason you have also escaped chastisement. Or you think that the God you believe in does not exist in the wide spaces of the universe, and so you have relegated knowing God to a chore to be done in your spare time rather than holding it in your hearts as a duty that must be fulfilled, using belief in God as a way of beguiling the time that otherwise would be spent in idleness. If I did not take pity on your lack of qualifications, reason, and insights, then all of you would perish in the midst of My chastisement, wiped out from existence. But until My work on earth is finished, I will remain lenient to mankind. This is something you must all know. Stop getting good and bad muddled up.
