Goodness, Hu Chuang!

Can't you slow down a little?

Sorry, sorry.

Pastor Zhuang,

I know we're going to see Brother Yang,

but why are you going so fast? I can't keep up!

Because I'm worried!

Brother Yang has prestige from years of sermons,

being jailed and suffering. (That's true.)

But now, he believes in Eastern Lightning,

and he's leading dozens of believers to learn about it.

My poor heart! (Oh yes, it's breaking!)

The pain!

I know!

If they all believe Eastern Lightning …

Then whose pastor will you be? (Exactly!)

I …

What'd you say?

Huh?

I'm trying to be a responsible pastor.

Oh, yes, yes, yes, you have good intentions.

Good intentions!

Today, no matter what, we must bring Brother Yang back.

But Brother Yang is headstrong.

Can we get through to him?

Yeah. Don't worry. I have ways.

You have ways?

Now listen, his son …

See how I react in a moment.

Right, how I react.

Huh?

Oh, no, no, no, I mean how you react!

Let's go.

Yeah!

Who's there?

Brother Yang, it's me.

Pastor Zhuang.

Brother Yang! Hello! (Oh, Brother Hu!)

We've come to see you!

Hey, hey, calm down.

OK!

Oh, Pastor Zhuang! Come in, come in. It's been a while!

Yes.

Come in, please. (Thanks.)

I've had a lot of work at the church,

and not much time. (I see.)

I even wake up early to write sermons.

You've been busy. Have a seat.

Here, sit.

Writing is useless! Good sheep still ran away!

Here, have some water.

Thanks.

So, Brother Yang,

we finally have some time, so let's catch up properly.

Alright. (Yes, exactly.)

Brother Yang, you might not know.

Hearing you believe in—

Brother Yang,

tell us how Tao and Min's wedding planning is coming along. (Yes, how?)

Ah yes, it's almost done.

Thank the Lord! (Wonderful.)

Yeah.

And, both families of belief, perfect!

Yes.

Pastor Zhuang has prayed quite a lot for their wedding!

It's true, you've certainly worked hard on Tao's wedding.

We're brothers and sisters,

so we should care for each other, shouldn't we?

Exactly!

Here, have some water.

Brother Yang,

since I saw you last,

I'm told you accept Eastern Lightning.

Is this true?

Yes, and I've been meaning to talk about it.

What about the Lord!

Brother Yang, I mean …

We are on the verge of the Lord rapturing us to the kingdom of heaven,

at this crucial moment, why believe in Eastern Lightning?

Yeah!

Pastor Zhuang, we've condemned Eastern Lightning for many years,

never actually reading Almighty God's words.

Is that the Lord's will?

Eastern Lightning publishes Almighty God's truth for all to see.

Isn't that worth investigating?

Recently, I've read much of Almighty God's word,

I know Almighty God is the returned Lord Jesus.

Impossible.

If the Lord Jesus returned, He'd still be called Lord Jesus. (Right!)

It says in the Bible,

Amen!

Brother Yang,

the Lord Jesus' name will never change. (Yes.)

Pastor Zhuang, this verse of scripture is about God's essence never changing,

not His name never changing.

Oh?

I've never heard of it being interpreted like that!

That's right.

I only understood this mystery after reading Almighty God's word.

I'll tell you what it says:

Alright, Brother Yang,

you say God's name changes with each age,

with no biblical basis. (Right.)

It's not true.

You see,

in the Age of Law, God was Jehovah,

in the Age of Grace, He was Jesus.

Hasn't God's name changed before?

Pastor Zhuang, he's right, it changed!

Be quiet!

Pastor Zhuang,

do you remember what it says in Revelation 3:12?

Pastor Zhuang, the Bible does say God's name will change!

Yes!

Based on the Bible,

God will have a new name in the last days.

God's new name is Almighty God.

Even if the Bible prophesies a new name,

saying that it's Almighty God,

is there any biblical basis? (Right.)

Of course. (Of course?)

Yes, in Revelation 1:8, Revelation 4:8,

Revelation 11:17,

and other places in the Bible,

it's prophesied God's name in the last days is "the Almighty,"

that's Almighty God.

Pastor Zhuang, there are prophecies.

And Almighty God's word is even clearer.

Pastor Zhuang, I'll read some of Almighty God's word.

Here, let's sit down. Sit.

God's name was Jehovah in the Old Testament,

Jesus in the New Testament,

and the last days—Almighty God?

Calm down.

No matter what, as believers, we must keep the Lord Jesus' name,

otherwise, we betray the Lord!

Pastor Zhuang, Almighty God is the returned Lord Jesus,

He is using a different name for a different age.

If the Lord returns, and we don't welcome Him,

that is truly betraying Him!

If that's true, we're betraying the Lord? Aren't we?

What are you saying? Hold your position!

Brother Yang,

we've spent a lot of time together working to spread the gospel.

I have known you for over twenty years.

And even though we weren't born from the same mother,

I really believe we are spiritual brothers.

Yeah, that's right.

When we serve the Lord together, wonderful things happen.

Pastor Zhuang, if you could— (If you stop believing in Eastern Lightning,)

I'll make you an elder.

But …

Know what? I'll even give you extra subsidies every month.

What do you think?

Pastor Zhuang—

If there's anything else you need, you just have to ask, okay?

Hey, Brother Yang,

if you become an elder, wherever you go,

people will make a big deal! You'll be celebrated!

Everyone will be—

Brother Hu, how can you say such words? Huh?

Do we believe in the Lord just to become elders? (But …)

Do we work for the Lord just so we can demand status in the church?

In your eyes,

it seems wealth and status are more important than God's salvation in the last days.

Why can't you understand my good intentions?

I'm just trying to help you!

If you want to help me,

you shouldn't try to stop me from investigating the true way!

Brother Yang,

Pastor Zhuang and I are afraid that you've been deceived!

Let's sit down and talk peacefully.

I'll refill the water.

Sounds good.

It looks to me like he is absolutely determined to believe in Almighty God.

We'll see, if he doesn't want the money,

I bet he'll at least consider his son.

Hey, Tao! (Hey, Tao is back!)

You're back!

Pastor Zhuang, Brother Hu.

Tao, why are you back?

Dad, we need to talk.

Oh, I'll take it. (Have some water.)

Okay, you go ahead.

OK.

Tao, what's the matter?

Dad, Pastor Zhuang told me that you believe in Eastern Lightning?

Pastor Zhuang?

Tao, listen to me,

Eastern Lightning is the appearance and work of the Lord—

Dad, Pastor Zhuang said

anyone who believes in Eastern Lightning will be expelled from the church.

My son, it doesn't matter if they expel me.

The Lord has returned. If we don't welcome Him,

He will reject us,

and we will forever lose our chance to be lifted into the kingdom of heaven.

But …

Min's family has found out you accepted Eastern Lightning,

they're … cancelling the marriage.

Cancelling?

Yes, Brother Yang,

it's important to think about your son.

That's right. Min is a wonderful girl!

She is.

Dad, you need to stop believing in Almighty God, alright?

Tao, don't worry.

In a few days, I'll go talk to them.

Once they know Almighty God is the returned Lord Jesus,

they will understand.

So, you …

Dad, I …

It's Min.

Get it.

Hello, Min?

What?

Excuse me?

Let me explain, Min …

Min? Min? Min …

What does she say?

She said, if I want to marry her, I have to …

break with you.

Break with me? That's …

Dad, what can I …

Brother Yang, your wife is no longer with us,

and he's your only son.

You need to do your best to look out for him, right?

God, what should I do? I beg your guidance.

So, Tao, you're an adult now,

and it's time you had your own life.

I don't need you to take care of me.

I'll be fine as long as you're happy.

Dad, don't say that.

I've spent my life believing in God and waiting for the Lord to come.

I've been waiting for this for decades,

and now, the Lord has finally come.

I ask for nothing but to be face-to-face with God.

I just want to read God's word and follow God.

My son, I hope you can understand.

Dad, I understand.

If you believe in Almighty God, I won't stop you.

I'll go talk to Min.

Do your best to convince her.

'K.

Tao? Tao? Hey … (Tao! Tao!)

Tao, wait!

Don't go.

Yang Xiangming! You … you're so heartless!

You don't even care about your son's marriage!

Pastor Zhuang asked Tao to come back to talk to you,

and gave Min an idea to help,

and now it's …

Be quiet! Can't you do anything right? (You gave Min an idea to help?)

Pastor Zhuang, you …

you actually used my son's wedding to threaten me?

Brother Yang, Pastor Zhuang only did this to help you and make you change your mind.

He had good intentions! You have to believe me.

Good intentions? I can't believe this.

How could you use such a cruel way to try to get me to abandon the true way?

I can't …

Brother Yang, you can't misunderstand Pastor Zhuang's good intentions, please!

Yang Xiangming, I'm warning you,

I built this church completely on my own.

I won't allow you to take any more sheep from my flock!

Otherwise …

You can't blame me for being harsh with you.

Pastor Zhuang, how can you say you built this church by yourself?
