Now disasters are growing in scale and the situation of the world is in turbulence. The prophecies of the Lord’s coming have been fulfilled. Therefore, our top priority is to seek how to welcome the Lord’s return. Some friends think: As long as we watchfully wait and keep praying, we will welcome the Lord when seeing Him descending among white clouds and appearing in the sky. We believe that many friends have such thoughts. However, if we continue to pray and wait like this, we will miss the opportunity of welcoming the Lord and being taken into the heavenly kingdom by the Lord. Why do we say this? Let us take a look at a passage of God’s words.
God says, “Since we are searching for the footprints of God, it behooves us to search for God’s will, for the words of God, for His utterances—because wherever there are new words spoken by God, the voice of God is there, and wherever there are the footsteps of God, God’s deeds are there. Wherever there is the expression of God, there God appears, and wherever God appears, there the truth, the way, and the life exist. In seeking God’s footprints, you have ignored the words ‘God is the truth, the way, and the life.’ And so, many people, even when they receive the truth, do not believe that they have found God’s footprints, and still less do they acknowledge the appearance of God. What a grave mistake! The appearance of God cannot be reconciled with man’s notions, still less can God appear at the behest of man. God makes His own choices and His own plans when He does His work; moreover, He has His own objectives and His own methods. Whatever work He does, He has no need to discuss it with man or seek his advice, much less to notify each and every person of His work. This is the disposition of God, which should, moreover, be recognized by everyone. If you desire to witness the appearance of God, to follow God’s footsteps, then you must first walk away from your own notions. You must not demand that God do this or that, much less should you place Him within your own confines and limit Him to your own notions. Instead, you should ask how you are to seek God’s footprints, how you are to accept God’s appearance, and how you are to submit to the new work of God: This is what man should do. Since man is not the truth, and is not possessed of the truth, he should seek, accept, and obey.”
We can see from God’s words that we cannot determine how God will appear in the last days because it is God’s own work. If we want to see God’s appearance to welcome the Lord, the key is looking for God’s end-time utterances. As long as we hear the voice of God, we will be seeing the appearance of God. Just as the Lord Jesus said, “What I tell you in darkness, that speak you in light: and what you hear in the ear, that preach you on the housetops.” (John 10:27). Also, Revelation 3:20 says, “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). Herein, it is apparent that the correct path to welcoming the Lord’s return is to look for the voice of God. After hearing the words of the returned Lord, if we can confirm in our hearts that they are the voice of God, and then accept and obey, this is what it means to welcome the Lord and go to the feast with Him.
