The Prophecies of the Lord’s Return Have Been Basically Fulfilled, but Why Have You Not Welcomed the Lord?
At present, earthquakes, famines, plagues, and riots continue all over the world. The prophecies of the Lord’s return in Matthew 24 have been fulfilled. The Lord has already returned. At this news, will you be confused: If the Lord has returned, why have we not seen the Lord coming upon white clouds in the sky? Don’t worry. Read the following words of God, and your confusion will be resolved.
God says, “For several millennia, man has longed to be able to witness the arrival of the Savior. Man has longed to behold Jesus the Savior riding a white cloud as He descends, in person, among those who have pined and yearned for Him for thousands of years. Man has also longed for the Savior to return and be reunited with them; that is, longed for Jesus the Savior, who has been separated from people for thousands of years, to come back, and to once again carry out the work of redemption that He did among the Jews, to be compassionate and loving toward man, to forgive the sins of man and bear the sins of man, and even bear all of man’s transgressions and deliver man from sin. What man longs for is for Jesus the Savior to be the same as before — a Savior who is lovable, kind, and venerable, who is never wrathful toward man, and who never reproaches man, but who forgives and takes on all of man’s sins, and who will even, as before, die upon the cross for man. Since Jesus departed, the disciples who followed Him, as well as all of the saints who were saved in His name, have been desperately pining for Him and awaiting Him. All those who were saved by the grace of Jesus Christ during the Age of Grace have been longing for that exultant day in the end time when Jesus the Savior descends on a white cloud to appear before all people. Of course, this is also the collective wish of all those who accept the name of Jesus the Savior today. Everyone in the universe who knows of the salvation of Jesus the Savior has been desperately yearning for Jesus Christ to suddenly arrive to fulfill what Jesus said while on earth: ‘I shall arrive just as I departed.’ Man believes that, following the crucifixion and resurrection, Jesus went back to heaven upon a white cloud to take His place at the Most High’s right hand. In like manner, Jesus shall descend again upon a white cloud (this cloud refers to the cloud that Jesus rode upon when He returned to heaven), among those who have desperately yearned for Him for thousands of years, and He shall bear the image and wear the clothing of the Jews. After appearing to man, He shall bestow food upon them, and cause living water to gush forth for them, and shall live among man, full of grace and full of love, vivid and real. All such notions are what people believe. Yet Jesus the Savior did not do this; He did the opposite of what man conceived. He did not arrive among those who had yearned for His return, and He did not appear to all people while riding upon the white cloud. He has already arrived, but man does not know Him, and remains ignorant of Him. Man is merely awaiting Him aimlessly, unaware that He has already descended upon a ‘white cloud’ (the cloud which is His Spirit, His words, His entire disposition and all that He is), and is now among a group of overcomers that He will make during the last days.”
God’s words clearly tell us that the Lord Jesus’ return is not something as we imagine — coming among white clouds in the sky. Rather, He is incarnated, with His spirit, His words, His disposition, and all His possessions and beings realized in the flesh. Now God has come secretly before the great disasters, and He has expressed words and done a stage of work to completely save mankind. Many people who sincerely yearn for the Lord’s coming have welcomed the Lord by seeking and listening to God’s words. Some people, however, stubbornly insist that the Lord will descend upon white clouds in the sky, not knowing the true meaning of the Lord’s coming among “white clouds”. So they have been gazing at the sky and clouds, and refuse to seek or investigate God’s end-time words and work, consequently falling into darkness and being abandoned by God.
