How are you?

I've believed in the Lord for over a decade,

sincerely awaiting His return.

I heard that God had appeared, gospel from Eastern Lightning.

They testify that Almighty God is the Son of man descended

to express truth and judge man,

that He is the Bridegroom knocking at the door.

In no time at all,

it was known among every denomination, even overseas, it spread like wildfire.

But, I ask you,

is what they preach really the true way?

Should I bother to learn more?

This is a very difficult question.

Who would imagine that what I've believed for so long …

Ming, Ming.

Did you understand the fellowship today?

Today's meeting resolved a lot of confusion for me.

Now, I finally know

what the incarnation is and what the Christ is.

And now I understand how to discern the true Christ and false Christs.

This time,

my heart verifies that Almighty God's words are the truth and the voice of God.

Thanks be to God.

Telling the difference between false Christs and the true Christ is critical.

Do you realize

how many people lack this understanding of the truth

and are deceived by the lies of false Christs,

and how many people, because they don't know this truth,

mistake Christ's work in the last days as that of a false Christ,

they simultaneously believe in God, yet reject Him?

The consequences of that mistake are terrible.

Yeah.

How lucky that we can hear God's voice and understand these truths.

It's by God's grace.

Thanks be to God.

Thanks be to God.

Hey, Jiayin,

what worries me most right now is your brother.

Every time you testify the Lord's return to him,

he doesn't listen.

What should we do?

Ming, don't worry about it.

My brother is bounded by his old beliefs, and it will just take him some time.

Hey, in a little while,

I'll come visit your house and talk with him.

'K. Alright!

You explain everything; I'll help!

May God guide us!

I'll pop by this afternoon. ('K.)

Take care, Jiayin!

Alright.

Perfect!

Shouxin?

Hey!

You're back!

Yeah.

Hey, where did you go?

You weren't at the meeting?

It doesn't matter.

I know exactly what the pastor said.

You know what he said?

Really? Tell me.

Little something like this.

Everyone …

Hey, hey! You, don't sleep! Wake up! Wake up!

We are in the last days.

The Lord has one foot in the door and one outside it.

You all need to be very, very, very watchful.

And you all need to

be very cautious, guard against false Christs!

That's a good impression!

I should have stayed home and listened to you preach!

Hey, you know, I'd like you to listen to this.

Every day, all the pastor says

"The Lord is about to come.

He's almost here.

He has one foot in the door and one outside it."

Now we are so excited for the Lord's return,

but the pastor says,

"Any who preach the Lord's return are liars."

He's quite a strange pastor.

It seems like all he talks about is watching for false Christs.

Hey, why not something else?

Like how to be a wise virgin and welcome the Lord?

You do make a good point.

But there's nothing he can do about it.

There are so many testifying the Lord's return.

We don't know what's true or false.

What if we end up following a false Christ?

My faith of many years will be good for nothing.

Well, good-for-nothing …

I mean—(Hey!)

No, no, no, Shouxin …

I'm just thinking,

since people are testifying the Lord has returned,

we should be investigating it.

But what do you do?

Refuse to listen, read, or have any contact with it.

You're so stubborn.

You go ahead and listen.

I don't want to.

Alright. Go open the door.

Okay.

Ming, open the door! It's Jiayin!

Jiayin!

She's here to tell me the Lord is back!

I don't want to hear it!

I am not home.

Look at yourself!

Hiding from your own sister!

I … I …

Of course I'm hiding!

She testifies the Lord has returned.

That's impossible.

Get back here!

The Lord's return is important,

but you don't seek,

you don't investigate,

you blindly reject it.

You'll end up a foolish virgin.

We see things differently but why fight about it.

Jiayin, it's not locked!

Hey! Just listen …

Hey! Hi Ming.

Where is he?

Your brother said he's not home.

He left.

Hiding a …

Jiayin. (Yeah?)

Come here, sit down.

Oh wow!

Looks like my brother left in a big hurry!

He didn't even put his shoes on!

A very big hurry.

Jiayin, (Yeah?)

why did you want to see him?

I just wanted to tell him all about the Lord's coming.

Oh that.

Well, how about …

you go ahead and tell me all about it.

It's important.

That's right.

Jiayin, your brother's attitude about the Lord's return

reminds me of something that the Lord said,

Hey, he thinks that any testimony of the Lord's return is completely false,

so he refuses to listen.

Jiayin,

do you think that this understanding of the Lord's words is correct or not?

Okay, Ming, let me ask you this,

do you think the Lord Jesus is going to return or not?

Of course He will!

That's … that's something everyone knows.

The Lord said He will be here soon.

There are plenty of prophecies in the Bible to prove it.

No one would dare deny that. (Right.)

Jiayin,

the question you're asking is way too simple!

Simple?

Ming,

since we all admit the Lord Jesus will return,

how can we say,

"Any who preach the Lord's return are liars"?

Isn't that denying the Lord Jesus' return?

These theories are just part of Satan's evil plan.

Wow! You're absolutely right!

In the last days, not only do false Christs appear,

more important is that the Lord Himself must reappear! (Right!)

Ming, I have another question.

If the Lord were to return,

do you think some people would know about it?

Of course some people would know about it!

Well, but some people would say no one would know at all.

But if no one knew about the Lord's return,

wouldn't the Lord's promise to return for us be an empty one?

If the Lord were coming, but no one knew,

then why does it say in the Bible,

"And at midnight there was a cry made,

Behold, the bridegroom comes;

go you out to meet him" (Matthew 25:6),

and, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock:

if any man hear my voice, and open the door,

I will come in to him,

and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)?

So, when the Lord comes, people will cry out.

The Lord will also knock at the door.

Then of course those who cry out know first,

those who hear know later,

and those who don't hear

won't know at all!

Hmm? Right.

means someone was preaching the message.

If we believe any who preach the Lord's return are deceivers,

that … that really is truly denying the return of the Lord Jesus.

But …

But … but some people think,

no matter whether it's true or false, right or wrong,

we can't look into it any further.

They say believing this way makes more sense because it's safer,

because it protects us from false Christs.

Jiayin,

do you think it's appropriate to be practicing this way?

Ming,

is practicing like that in accord with God's will?

Isn't it misunderstanding the Lord's words?

There's also the parable of the ten virgins.

The parable says the wise virgins hear the cry "the bridegroom comes"

and go out to meet Him.

It's mentioned several times in Revelation,

Here the Lord mentions "asking," "seeking," "knocking,"

"hearing God's voice," and "going out to meet Him."

So when welcoming the Lord's return, we should focus on seeking the truths,

and we should also focus on seeking to hear the voice of God.

So?

He's listening!

Jiayin, sit on the couch.

Sit. Sit.

Ming, let me ask you,

if we don't seek and don't investigate testimony of the Lord's return at all,

how could we hear the voice of God and welcome the Lord's return?

I don't think it's possible.

"Asking," "seeking," "knocking,"

"hearing God's voice," and "going out to meet Him."

Hey, Jiayin. (Yeah?)

We have to seek the Lord's coming.

We have to seek to find Him.

We have to knock and hopefully He will open up the door!

Oh, hi there!

The window's dirty. I should clean it.

I cleaned it yesterday.

See? There. There's dust.

There's dust.

Enough, Shouxin. (Shouxin …)

Stop pretending.

Sit down and listen to her.

Come here.

Shouxin, Jiayin makes a lot of sense.

You should listen to her.

Shouxin,

when it comes to welcoming the Lord's return,

if you only guard against false Christs and prophets

and you don't focus on how to meet the Bridegroom and hear His voice,

you're foolish. You're starving yourself for the fear of choking.

No matter how we guard against false Christs and prophets,

if we do not meet the Lord when He comes back,

we cannot be raptured before God's throne

and sup with the Lamb at the wedding feast.

That makes us foolish virgins who will be forsaken and eliminated by God.

More seriously,

if we hear people testify to Christ or testify that the Bridegroom is here,

and we blindly condemn Him as a false Christ,

I'm afraid this is resisting God.

This is the most dangerous thing to do.

This is the most dangerous thing to do.

Shouxin,

why do you think the Lord asked us to wait alertly and pray watchfully?

To stop us from blindly condemning.

We need to take the time to look into whether it's the true appearance of Christ.

If we do nothing but reject,

we'll completely miss the Lord's return.
