How to understandthe Biblical predetermine and anticipation
The author: Yao Lianghong
God created theearth and promised to put it in the hands of man, but Satan cheated Adam out ofthe control of the earth and became the king of the world. Satan knew that God's plan ofsalvation had been destined for human execution, and it was written metaphorically in theBible. So he did everything he could to seduce and deceive people, rejecting ormisinterpreting the Bible. The purpose is to make God's plan impossible tofulfill according to the Bible. In this way Satan will be the eternal king ofthe earth, an independent kingdom within the universe, worshiped by man as arival to the supreme authority of God. Such is Satan's fool's paradise, andsurely impossible!
Before thecreation of the world, God had arranged the whole of human history. It's like ascript, already written, just waiting for the characters to come on. It's justthat the roles in a movie script are set by the director, whereas the roles ina Bible script are chosen by humans themselves. God created man, but he gavehim free will to do whatever he chooses to do with his life. But how does Godmake people choose to do what they are destined to do? And how is it that inthese last ages a group of men should be willing to goand proclaim for God the judgmentof the living, to fulfill the words of revelation? That's what we're talkingabout today when we talk about "predetermine" and "anticipation"!
God is the beginning and the end, who has been, and is,and willbe. He said, “I declare the end from the beginning, and from ancienttimes the things were spoken that were not yet done. "My counsel shall stand, and Iwill do all that I desire. " (Isa 46:10).From the beginning Godknew the present (the last), and from ancient times he prophesied of things tocome.It means that God has foreseen the whole of human history, and that thefuture thingshave been foretold –frophesied. But he did not doomanyone to salvation or destruction.[Jn3:16]For God so loved the world that he gave his oneand only son , that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.This verse tells us that God does not doom everyone to salvation ordestruction, but is more than willing to save all. "To die" or"to live forever" is entirely a choice for each individual. Believeor not, how to believe, depends on each person's own understanding and choice.God will not abandon those who truly repent and long to be saved.
Why do most people whobelieve in God perish? It is a matter of choice, a matter of character.As in the case of Judas who betrayedJesus, God in the Old Testament predestined Jesus to be betrayed. And Godforesaw that Judas would betray Jesus if he became adisciple of Jesus. This is because Judas was of this character, and this wasdue to his own unrepentant nature. So God had the Lord Jesus choose Judas to bea disciple, and Judas actually betrayed Jesus. In the end, God hasdone what he set out to do.
How to understand Judas betraying Jesus? That is to say, according to God'splan of redemption, Jesus came to the world in the flesh and was bound toundergo the experience of being crucified. This is God's plan. But who putJesus on the cross? It's not that God specifically intended Judas to do this,but God knew Judas would do this in advance, because of Judas'character. God allows each of us to exercise our free will, to choose what wewant to do, and ultimately to separate the righteous from the wicked. Thepurpose is to show the creatures of the universe what each person is doing withhis free will. What would the world be like if, as Lucifer said, everyone werefree from the laws of God and did as he pleased?
Some might ask, why did God let Judasbetray Jesus instead of the other disciples? You know, it wasn't God tellingJudas to betray Jesus, it was Judas' choice. God just knew in advance. We have saidbefore that God created man, but gave him free will. Under the same conditionsand circumstances, and under the same teachings of Jesus, the disciples choseto obey fully.But Judas was unrepentant, disobedient, and thought himself clever. He had a lot of dissatisfaction with Jesus that wouldeventually come out. Judas thoughtthat the disciples were unlearned , stupid and silly.They werenot as clever as himself. They foolishly followed Jesus at hisword. It wasas if Jesus liked them enough to ignore himself. Judas thought that Since Jesuscould raise the dead and calm the waves, why not use his divine power tooverthrow the Roman government? Why live such a miserable life? Judas wanted toshow that he was superior to the disciples, so he reported Jesus and asked theSynagogue to arrest him, thinking that Jesus would use his magic power tooverthrow the existing government and that Jesus would be king and rule. Thenhe would be able to do his own work and surpass the other disciples. Then Judasgave vent to his own wisdom and his own dissatisfaction (unrepentance)– Judas betrayed Jesus. But it turned out tobe quite beyond his expectation.Insteadof achieving his goal, he became himself an instrument of Satan, a traitor inprophecy. This was more than he had expected. Feeling ashamed, he hangedhimself. Make the prophecy complete!
This is what the Bible oftensays, "the son of doom." It shows that some people's thoughts aredoomed to be the thoughts of the son of death, even if you give him anotherhundred years to live with Jesus every day, he will not repent. Similarly, inthe Last Revival church, there is a modern Judas whoshares Judas's character, Wolf Grandmother W. Hewas a kind of Judas clone who also followed Yao Sister,servants of God, for about three and a half years. Although the history of the Eleventh Hour Church has proceeded in accordance with the prophecies,and Shebna, Nadab Abihu, and the eggs of vipershave been revealed in the light of the Prophets. These are his own personalexperiences. But W was unrepentant and proud in heart. He wanted to sit in thehouse of God and call himself God, serving Satan and finally doing what Judasdid and becoming a sinner for all ages.
It shows that aperson's true nature (personality) is determined from the moment of birth (partof it is nurture ). Let him live for another few hundredyears, his mind(nature) will never change. Truth is only a toolto distinguish the righteous from the wicked, so that the universal beings canbe convinced of God's just judgment!
In the same way, the number of years andboundaries God has set for the human race on earth arealready predetermined.As[Ac17:26]From one man he made every nation of men,thatthey should inhabit the whole earth,and he determined the times set for themand the exact places where they should live. That is to say, the length of human life (the length oflife), the place of residence and the background of life, are alsopredetermined by God. In what era, what region (country), and whatrepresentative figures the five reformation movements took place, God hadforeseen and predicted them in the Bible.
Last religiousreform movement, for example, the Eleventh Hour movement happened in China, even the timingof the initiation was predetermined by God. (see "Ezekiel handouts). Whatimportant political figures have emerged in this era?What will happen to the world's conflicts?How to set up the beast image?, It’s all in God's foreknowledge. Especially that atheist China plays an important role in the end,that the remnant of God lives here,how they treat God’s people, and how they treat the information about the judgement of the living, how does everyone end up? the list of 144000, all these are well known to God. God has already know who choose to follow the truth,Whowill choose to obey the beast image (in fact, now those who refused ourtruth, have already in choosing the beast image). And it is not God’s predestination.It’s everyone’s own choice. Today everyone has to get the equalopportunity of truth.No one forces you to choose who to follow.But your choices willdetermine your own lifeand death, and no one can pass the buck to othersfor his own demise!
In several shakes of the Eleventh Hour movements, what is experienced is the lessonof choice. God has already known who will be shaken out, who will remain, andwho will choose to follow the truth of the Prophets taught by Yao Lianghongsister to the end. Every day, God's plan to gather 144,000 people moves forwardaccording to God's foresight and our choices. People justdon't realize it! Perhaps we understand that the ideas of Judas and hisdisciples were too abstract to make sense, but when we are in the real worldtoday, we are enlightened. At this point you dare to say that God is not fairto the salvation of man?
In the OldTestament, the prophet Balaam (Nu22:24), though aprophet, chose the wrong way. Why is that? Because of the lust for money. Whenthe Israelites were at war with the king of Moab,Balak of the king of Moab paid Balaam to curse theIsraelites. But Balaam knew God's law that God would not allow him to curse the Israelitesor accept Balak's money(bribery).But Balaam was greedy and asked God three timesto allow him to do wrong. So God let him go to the king of Moab and told Balaamto obey the evil thoughts of his heart and do what he wanted to do. So Balaamfinally went to the wall.
God cannot stopthose who are determined to do wrong . Leave them alone!
In 1 Samuel, Saulturned away from the way of God and persecuted and killedDavid, God's anointed, until he reached his goal. Later Saul himself said toDavid, "You aremore righteous than I am."You have treated me well, but I have treated you badly.dealt wickedly with thee (1Sa 24:17).Even though Saul knew his deeds were evil, he did not repent. Whenhis scar healed and forgot the pain.He slippedback into his old ways. Saul alwaystried to kill David. In the end, the evil went so far as to ask the witch thathe sinned so much against God that he and his four sons lost their lives.
And pharaoh of Egypt, whose heart was notrestored by the ten plagues of God. It means that some people are hard inforehead and hard in heart, and will never repent in any way. They are doomedto perish, which is irreversible. Pharaoh, under the terror of the tenth plaguethat God had struck upon the firstborn of Egypt, apparently allowed theIsraelites to leave, but this was not repentance (for he later pursued theIsraelites to the Red Sea), but fear for the consequences of sin (the death ofall the firstborn of Egypt), and not repentance for his own sin; Judas hangedhimself not as an expression of repentance, not as an expression of sorrow forhis SINS, but as a result of his missteps. Therefore, the Bible calls those whoare unrepentant and stand firm against God (the truth) to the end "doomedto perish"!
God is fair,just and right. He gives people free will, and let everyone, by choice, find his place. The truth isclearly set before every one, and your choice will determine your destiny. Itwill also show whether you are repentant or not! The Prophets, for example, isthe voice of Jesus at the end of time, and no matter how hard the Bible provesthat Yao sister is the spokesmen for God's last election, it iswidely believed that Yao Sister is proud and self-proclaimed Kings. They searchedfor evidence to denigrate and discredit her. Yesterday, some sister who justjoined our church told me (Yao) that the elder couple of their church heardthat she accepted our truth and visited her home. They kept finding evidencefrom the Works of Ellen G. White, from the Bible that was not based on the truthto deny Yao Sister, to slander Yao Sister, and kept saying how bad and proudYao sister is…It's weird, I've never known them, I've neverhad any dealings with them, I'm not a pastor of the church, I'm just a namelesslayman, I have no contact with you.How do you know I'm not good!
What does thatmean? It shows that they are too proud in their hearts to allow an ordinarybeliever to surpass them and to accept an ordinary believer to lead them. Infact, those in the Adventist church, the three apostate churches of the Eleventh Hour, who do not accept the truth of Yao sister, are in this arrogant,idolatry heart. Because everything about Yao sister doesn't fit their image (in their own mind )of God as a real servant. It means that they have already set inmind the rules of God's prophets, which is idolatry. With such anidol in their heart, how can they believe Yao sister?
Before Yao siste does the job, those who are close to Yao didn't say she was bad, even a lot of people are very happy to bewith her become close friends, and hope to be with her rural life, but when Yao sister usedby God, Yao sister in their eyes is the notorious badguys, like avoiding the plague away from her. This only shows that theiridolatry has been deeply rooted, and they are bound to be the victims of theiridol worship in the future. They are also doomed to perish! Therefore, God cando nothing for them!
In Ephesiansand Romans, Paul also told a group of Christians who love the Lord thatGod has chosen them in a preordained way to be the firstborn of Christ (thefirstfruits — 144,000). That God might beglorified, and they themselves might be glorified! As:
[ROM 8:29-30] for those whom he foreknew predestinated to beconformed to the image of his son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. Those who havebeen preordained call them, those who have been called justify them, and thosewho have been justified glorify them.
This is God's method andpurpose for choosing his own people. The way to choose is that God knows inadvance who will make the right choice and then presents the opportunity(truth) to them.For example, both the disciples and Judas had opportunities;Shebna, viper's egg, Grandmother Wolf, and the loyal people oftheLast Revival, all have anequal chance of reaching the truth, but God has already known their choice. God also used their choiceto gather his firstborn, the witnesses (144,000), to be justified andglorified. Thus the unbeliever is condemned. This is what God chose them for!
[Ephesians 1:4-9]Just as God chose us in Christ before thecreation of the world, that we might be holy and without blemish before him. In love he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through JesusChrist,in accordance with pleasure and will—to the praise of his gloriousgrace,which he has freely given us in the one he loves. This grace is given to us abundantly, in allwisdom , according to his own good pleasure, to make known to us the mystery ofhis will.Why did God choose us before the creation of theworld? It is because of God's foreknowledge that when we are born, we willchoose truth — choosing to be on God's side, and most of people are on Satan'sside. Therefore God richly rewards us in accordance with his preordained goodwill — "some have more, and those who have not will take away even theoriginal" (Matt. 13:12). Let us be watered down by the constant livingfountain of truth, which teaches us the mystery of God's will — the principlesof His salvation, and by obedience we are saved.
God foresees,but God has no predestination (who shall be saved andwho shall perish). The word "predestination" is used repeatedly inEphesians to emphasize that God has such a plan of redemption and that thisplan will not change. But everyone must come to know the truth, to cooperatewith God, to submit to the truth, to be saved. For example, if you have a carwith a driver in it, it's up to the driver to decide where the car is going,but there's one thing — there's a rule that the car can only be driven on theroad, and if it's driven somewhere else, it will cause an accident andeventually destroy the car. This road is the truth of the Bible!
God's great plan has been laid out, andthis spiritual blessing has been given to us. If we do not refuse and rebel, wewill be saved in his plan.If we do not, wewill be the children of death. Whyis called "doomed",it is because you adhere to the wrongroute, the wrong choice. Who can you blame for driving over a cliff and intoan abyss when you don't follow the traffic rules?
In fact, Godforesaw our character and the direction we had chosen, and with thisforeknowledge, God today gave us birth in China and brought us to the church of the Last Revival ,giving us different roles in the church.No matter what role we become, this iswhat God predestined us to become in anticipation. We should be grateful andobedient. Don't hold grudges. Let us, therefore, continue to repent, to seizethe fox, and to build up the character of God, that he may use us still more,and that we may come together in these last days to proclaim his message, thetruth of the judgment of the living, and hasten to accomplish all his good intentions .
Today, the signal of disaster is gettingstronger and stronger, and people are on the verge of emotional collapse. Noone can deny that mankind is approaching the end of the ages, the end of theBook of Revelation. And we are sure that God has chosen us to be his lastwitnesses — those whom he chose in Christ before the creation of theworld to accomplish his last will.At the peak of the world's descent, atthe peak of its pursuit of fame and fortune, there are those who stand up forthe dignity of God's laws, who prove that God's justice, his fair, his righteousness, who are against the world.
Today, it is noaccident that you find our truth in the online world, but God foresaw itand gave you the opportunity to meet us and make your choice. Whether youaccept or reject it, you will play a role in fulfilling God's purpose. The trueknowledge of God has been fully revealed to mankind.Life and death, evil and blessingare before your eyes. The last chance to choose is coming to an end. Can youtake your last chance, choose your last blessing, and be one of God's chosen inthe great event of the century? May you make the right decision to share thisimportant message with us as you wait for the glorious return of Christ! Amen!
