The Way of Differentiating Between the True Christ and False Christs
God’s Work Is Always New and Never Old, and God Does Not Repeat His Work
God says: “For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; so that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.” (Matthew 24:24)
“If, during the present day, there is to emerge a person who is able to display signs and wonders, cast out demons, heal the sick, and perform many miracles, and if this person claims that they are Jesus who has come, then this would be a counterfeit produced by evil spirits which imitate Jesus. Remember this! God does not repeat the same work. Jesus’ stage of work has already been completed, and God will never again undertake that stage of work. The work of God is irreconcilable with the notions of man; for example, the Old Testament foretold the coming of a Messiah, and the result of this prophecy was Jesus’ coming. This having already happened, it would be wrong for another Messiah to come again. Jesus has already come once, and it would be wrong if Jesus were to come again this time. There is one name for every age, and each name contains a characterization of that age. In the notions of man, God must always display signs and wonders, must always heal the sick and cast out demons, and must always be just like Jesus. Yet this time, God is not like that at all. If, during the last days, God still displayed signs and wonders, and still cast out demons and healed the sick — if He did exactly the same as Jesus — then God would be repeating the same work, and the work of Jesus would have no significance or value. Thus, God carries out one stage of work in every age. Once each stage of His work has been completed, it is soon imitated by evil spirits, and after Satan begins to follow on the heels of God, God changes to a different method. Once God has completed a stage of His work, it is imitated by evil spirits. You must be clear about this.”
God’s words tell us that God never does repetitive work, because He is a God who is always new and never old. Just like when the Lord Jesus came to work, he did not repeat the work of the Age of Law, but did a step work to redeem mankind upon the foundation of the work of the Age of Law, He ended the age of law and opened up the age of grace. Only God Himself can do all this work. And because false Christs do not have the essence of God, they cannot do God’s work, nor can they do the work of opening up a new age and ending the old age. They can only imitate the work done by the Lord Jesus and show some simple signs and wonders to confuse people. Such big miracles as the Lord Jesus did to raise the dead, to feed five thousand people with five loaves and two fish, false Christs and evil spirits can never do it. In other words, the returned Lord in the last days will never repeat the work done by the Lord Jesus. Therefore, anyone who imitates the work of God, shows simple signs and wonders, heals the sick, casts out demons, and deceives people must be an evil spirit. The counterfeit is a false Christ. In addition, God expresses the truth which false Christs are unable to imitate because the essence of the false Christs is evil spirits and demons. False Christs have no truth, they can only lie, deceive, and confuse people.
