  • The passages from Almighty God

  • tell all of us that God's two incarnations complete the meaning of incarnation.

  • Right. Yes.

  • These words are very profound, man can't grasp them easily.

  • Yes!

  • Very well! As for God's two incarnations completing the meaning of incarnation,

  • some just don't get it.

  • Because they lack the experience, when they hear it, they don't understand.

  • The truth of the incarnation is indeed profound,

  • it takes a few communions for us to understand.

  • Yes. That's right!

  • We humans truly cannot fathom the deep significance of God's two incarnations.

  • Yes!

  • So, to learn why God has been incarnated twice

  • and what the meaning of these two incarnations is,

  • let's turn to two passages from Almighty God to better understand this truth.

  • Alright!

  • Amen!

  • Now let's turn to page 1372. (Okay!)

  • Brother, may I read the next one? (Of course.)

  • Amen!

  • Good. Let's end our reading here.

  • The truth of the incarnation is profound.

  • If Almighty God didn't reveal it, then none of us would comprehend it.

  • Right! That's right!

  • Now it's clear if we just read the Bible and only listen to pastors,

  • we'll never understand the truths and mystery of the incarnation.

  • The passages from Almighty God

  • tell all of us that God's two incarnations complete the meaning of incarnation.

  • Right. Yes.

  • These words are very profound, man can't grasp them easily.

  • Yes!

  • Brother Lin,

  • it's said that God's two incarnations complete the incarnation's significance.

  • What exactly does this mean?

  • Please elaborate on this for us.

  • Yes, please commune some more! Tell us more!

  • Fine!

  • Almighty God's word

  • has revealed the full significance and mystery of the incarnation.

  • From our reading of Almighty God's word,

  • we already know that "incarnation" refers to God's Spirit becoming flesh,

  • becoming an ordinary and normal person to do the work of God Himself.

  • Right!

  • That means the incarnate God must have a normal humanity,

  • and has to work and speak within normal humanity.

  • Even when He performs miracles,

  • they must be done in normal humanity.

  • His outward appearance appears quite normal.

  • He goes about His work as a normal, average human.

  • If He didn't have normal humanity or work within a normal humanity,

  • He would not be the incarnation. (Yes.)

  • God's incarnation refers to God's Spirit being realized in flesh.

  • Within a normal humanity,

  • He delivers the truth and does the work of God Himself,

  • redeeming and saving man.

  • This is the significance of the incarnation.

  • It's all so clear to me now.

  • It's so clear. (Yes!)

  • Now what is the significance of two incarnations?

  • Yes!

  • It mainly means

  • that God's two incarnations complete the significance of incarnation,

  • accomplishing the work of the Word appearing in the flesh,

  • and completing God's management plan to save mankind.

  • This is the significance of God's two incarnations.

  • Amen!

  • Now I understand more clearly.

  • Thanks be to God.

  • We should be clear about this.

  • The purpose of the first incarnation was to fulfill God's work of redemption

  • to pave the way for God's judgment work in the last days.

  • And so, God's first incarnation alone

  • did not complete the meaning of the incarnation.

  • The purpose of God's second incarnation

  • is to do judgment work in the last days,

  • and thoroughly set mankind free from the domain of Satan and its influence

  • to relieve mankind of their satanic disposition

  • and resolve their sinful nature,

  • so they can fully return to God and be gained by Him. (Amen!)

  • Thanks be to God.

  • Almighty God, Christ of the last days

  • has expressed all the truth to purify and save mankind,

  • has completed all the work God ought to do in the flesh,

  • and expressed all the words God must express

  • while He is on earth in His incarnate flesh. (Amen!)

  • Through this, He has completed the work of the Word appearing in the flesh.

  • Amen!

  • Let's read more passages from Almighty God. (Alright! Okay!)

  • Amen!

  • Amen!

  • God's two incarnations together complete all the work of God in the flesh,

  • that is, God's work to complete the salvation of man.

  • That means God will never have to be incarnated again.

  • There won't have to be a third or a fourth incarnation.

  • Because God's work in the flesh will have been accomplished completely.

  • This is how God has been incarnated twice

  • to complete the significance of the incarnation. (Amen!)

  • God's two incarnations have completed the meaning of the incarnation.

  • For those who have yet to experience God's judgment in the last days,

  • this is difficult to understand. (Yes, it certainly is.)

  • Those who have only experienced God's work in the Age of Grace

  • know that the Lord Jesus is the incarnate God.

  • But very few of them can understand

  • that the work of Lord Jesus was limited to redemption alone,

  • and He did not accomplish the work of the Word appearing in the flesh.

  • Right!

  • And that means the Lord Jesus did not express the truth in its entirety

  • that can complete the incarnate God's salvation of mankind. (Amen!)

  • So the Lord Jesus then said,

  • Amen!

  • According to the prophecy,

  • there are many truths the returned Lord will express in the last days.

  • Their fellowship is in accord with what it says in the Bible!

  • And now the Lord Jesus has returned as the Son of man in the flesh,

  • He is Almighty God, Christ of the last days.

  • He's begun His judgment work from the house of God, (Yes.)

  • and expressed all the truth that will cleanse and save mankind

  • found in The Word Appears in the Flesh. (Amen!)

  • God incarnate speaks for the first time in God's identity,

  • proclaiming His word to the entire universe.

  • Yes, thanks be to God! Praise the Lord!

  • He explains God's management plan to save man,

  • expresses God's will, His demands toward all of mankind,

  • and man's destination in a detailed manner.

  • Amen! Thanks be to God!

  • Let's see how Almighty God explains this in His words. (Alright!)

  • Why don't we turn to page 253. (Okay!)

  • Amen! Thanks be to God!

  • Amen!

  • Thanks be to God!

  • Almighty God's word is very clear! (Yes, you're right!)

  • It seems that while He is fulfilling the work of judgment in the last days.

  • Almighty God has already expressed many truths.

  • But we have no idea! We've suffered a great loss!

  • Yes, if only we'd accepted Him earlier,

  • we could've known much more about the truth!

  • Yes!

  • Thank you, my brothers,

  • it's so important to know the significance of God's two incarnations!

  • Yes! Praise God!

  • Despite Almighty God's word being so clear,

  • this is our first time hearing some of it. (Yes.)

  • We have no experience with it.

  • We don't understand enough.

  • With regard to this aspect,

  • I was wondering if there was anything else you could tell us about!

  • Yes! Please do this.

  • In the past, we just simply knew too little.

  • So, my brothers, please continue to fellowship with us! (Yes!)

  • Very well!

  • As for God's two incarnations completing the meaning of incarnation,

  • some just don't get it.

  • Because they lack the experience, when they hear it, they don't understand.

  • The truth of the incarnation is indeed profound,

  • it takes a few communions for us to understand.

  • Yes. That's right!

  • Now let's go into the details of the work performed

  • during God's two incarnations.

  • Alright! Great!

  • During God's first incarnation,

  • He fulfilled His work of redemption performing many miracles.

  • Everyone knows this, right? (Yes, we know.)

  • Go ahead!

  • He fed five thousand with just five loaves of bread and two fish. (Right!)

  • He calmed the wind and the waves with just a word.

  • HeWho did He resurrect?

  • He resurrected Lazarus!

  • Also, He fasted and was tempted in the wilderness for forty days.

  • He walked on the water and so on.

  • Yes. Right. He did. He did all that.

  • Because the flesh of the Lord Jesus did miracles and could be transfigured,

  • in the eyes of us humans, though the Lord Jesus was God incarnate,

  • He still seemed supernatural.

  • He wasn't like a normal man and miracles occurred around Him.

  • Right!

  • Also, the Lord Jesus did only the work of mankind's redemption.

  • He only expressed the truth of redemptive work,

  • mainly manifesting God's disposition of love and compassion.

  • He didn't express the truths needed for the work of judgment and salvation.

  • Yeah.

  • And He did not express to man God's righteous, holy, unoffendable disposition.

  • So then we can't say

  • the first incarnation fulfilled the meaning of the incarnation.

  • It's just as Almighty God says,

  • Amen!

  • God's incarnation in the last days is different from His very first incarnation.

  • Because His second incarnation doesn't perform miracles at all.

  • He is not supernatural.

  • On the outside, He looks like a normal human being,

  • doing His work and speaking His word practically among men.

  • He has expressed the truth to judge, purify, and perfect man. (Amen! Yes!)

  • Almighty God has revealed all the mysteries of God's management plan,

  • manifested God's righteous, holy disposition,

  • all that God is and has, and God's will.

  • He has revealed to mankind His demands of them.

  • Amen!

  • Also, He's judged and exposed

  • man's satanic nature and dispositions that oppose God,

  • with which He conquers, perfects, and eliminates man, each unto his own kind.

  • Amen!

  • God's judgment in the last days is meaningful!

  • That's right! Only God's judgment can reveal every kind of man! (Yes!)

  • All of the truth that God bestows upon man in the last days

  • is expressed through the normal humanity of His flesh, (Yes.)

  • not through supernatural means.

  • All we see now is a normal man, speaking His word and doing His work.

  • Yes.

  • But the word that He has expressed is all the truth.

  • It has authority and power it can purify and save man. (Amen! Thanks be to God!)

  • From the word of Christ,

  • which judges and exposes the truth and substance of man's corruption,

  • we see how God looks into our hearts in His judgment

  • and see His thorough understanding of man.

  • We also see God's disposition is holy, righteous and unoffendable.

  • Amen! Thanks be to God!

  • Besides, from Christ's reminders and exhortations,

  • we have perceived God's compassion and concern for mankind. (Yes.)

  • From the many ways used by Christ to work and speak to us,

  • we come to appreciate God's almightiness and wisdom,

  • God's earnest intentions of saving and perfecting man,

  • God's true love and salvation for mankind.

  • Amen! Thanks be to God!

  • From the way that Christ treats every single person, matter, and thing,

  • we can understand how God's pleasure, anger, sorrow, joy

  • are the reality of positive things,

  • how they all express God's disposition

  • and naturally manifest the substance of God's life.

  • Amen!

  • We can see from Christ's word and work

  • just how God is great and supreme and how He is humble and hidden,

  • we gain a real understanding of God's inherent disposition,

  • and meanwhile we come to know His true face,

  • causing us to develop a thirst for the truth and a reverence,

  • to truly show love for God and obey Him.

  • This is the effect of God's second incarnation

  • and the effect that His word and work will achieve on us.

  • Amen! Thanks be to God!

  • The word and work of God's second incarnation

  • won't just allow man the chance to see God become flesh,

  • but also allow them to see the fact of God's word appearing in the flesh, (Amen!)

  • see that God's word accomplishes all. (Amen!)

  • This normal and average flesh is the embodiment of the Spirit of truth. (Amen!)

  • And God incarnate is the truth, the way, the life! (Amen!)

  • He's the appearance of the one true God! (Amen! Thanks be to God!)

  • With Almighty God's appearance and work,

  • the significance of incarnation is completed. (Amen!)

  • If we hadn't heard this communion today,

  • we never would have understood. (Yes. Thanks be to God!)

  • Brothers and sisters, let's read something from Almighty God's word, (Yes!)

  • so that our understanding of this truth can become even clearer.

  • Okay! Sure! Great!

  • Let's turn to page 1040. (Alright!)

  • Brother Lin, can I read it?

  • Of course.

  • Amen!

  • Amen! What a great passage!

  • Thanks be to God.

  • In all my years of faith,

  • I never had an understanding of the truth of the incarnation!

  • I knew that the Lord Jesus was God incarnate,

  • but if the Lord Jesus were living among us today,

  • I definitely wouldn't recognize Him.

  • I could even act like a Pharisee with resistance and denial.

  • Right.

  • Today you've told us just how Almighty God works

  • the same way the Lord Jesus did.

  • Men are truly incapable of recognizing Christ from appearance.

  • Yes, it's true. We are!

  • If you hadn't testified today about Almighty God's word and work,

  • how would we have ever heard God's voice or witnessed God's appearance?

  • Amen! Thanks be to God!

  • Now that we've heard your communion,

  • we can now see Almighty God is truly God's incarnation. (Amen!)

  • We know this for a fact! (Amen!)

  • Almighty God's word has honestly opened my eyes.

  • I have gained so much! (Amen!)

  • Thanks be to Almighty God! (Praise God!)

  • Since we've read parts of Almighty God's word,

  • I trust that everyone has an understanding

  • of how God's two incarnations complete the meaning of incarnation!

  • Yes!

  • Praise God! I feel like I've learned so much from this fellowship.

  • We are now aware of the fact

  • that God's work of salvation is ultimately accomplished

  • through the work of the incarnation.

  • Amen!

  • The work that Lord Jesus carried out was the work of redemption.

  • The truth He expressed was very limited,

  • so having only experienced the work of Lord Jesus,

  • our knowledge of God was limited.

  • Ah, true.

  • Almighty God has come to do the work of judgment in the last days,

  • expressed the truth in its entirety,

  • which God uses to perform His righteous judgment on corrupt mankind. (Amen.)

  • This allows man to see God's inherent disposition

  • and get to know His righteous and holy substance.

  • Amen! Thanks be to God!

  • So God incarnate in the last days

  • has thoroughly completed all of God's work in the flesh.

  • Amen! Praise God!

  • He has expressed the entire truth God should express

  • while He is in the flesh, (Amen!)

  • fulfilling the fact of the Word appearing in the flesh. (Amen!)

  • This is exactly

  • how God's two incarnations complete the meaning of the incarnation.

  • Amen! Yes. That's how it completed.

  • God's two incarnations are both essential and complementary.

  • So we can't say God can only be incarnated once,

  • or even suggest that He might be incarnated for the third or fourth time.

  • Right!

  • Because God's two incarnations have already finished God's work of saving man,

  • and They have expressed the entirety of the truth that God in the flesh

  • is meant to express for man's salvation.

  • Thanks be to God.

  • So, you see God's two incarnations complete the meaning of the incarnation.

  • Amen!

  • So now does everyone understand?

  • Yes. Thanks be to God! I see. I think I'm finally able to understand it!

  • God's two incarnations are so meaningful!

  • If we hadn't heard this fellowship,

  • then we never would have understood the truth of the incarnation.

  • Amen. Thanks be to Almighty God! (Yes, praise Him!)
