What does the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus Tell Us
Author: Yao Lianghong
After telling theparable of "the unjust steward", Jesus then told the parable of"the rich man and Lazarus". In this parable, Jesus uses the contrastbetween a rich man and the eternal fates of a poor beggar to show that the fateof mankind is determined by how he uses the opportunities of the time ofgrace.The purpose of this parable is to tell us that Jesus is not talking aboutthe state after death or the time of retribution, but clearly portrays that theJewish nation, and the United States, which enjoys the same superior privilegeas the Jewish nation, has made a fatal mistake and ended up in a tragicend.Begging "lazarus" is on behalf of enduring impoverishmentand long-standing debility,deep distress.Inparticular, the last atheist China after thousands of years of the tolerancefor humiliation, has slept on brushwood and tasted gall.The Chinese have been humble, asked advice, rose to a newprominence, turned defeat into victory, obtained the highest privilege, – From here camethe great light of the glory of God. Those who live in theland of the shadow of death, on whom the light shines.(Isa9:2) China, always despised by the United States, will become thefrontier of the last human Gospel, replace the superiority of the UnitedStates, and lead the world to walk through the last course of human history!
To interpret this metaphor as someone’s immediate retribution at the moment of deathis clearly a violation of the teaching of Jesus’words: "When the son of man shall come in his father's glory with his angels, he will repay each personevery man according to his behavior (Mt 16:27)".Itis only at the time of Christ's comingthat God will reward every one according to hisbehavior.Thisdoes not mean that when one dies, one immediately goes to heaven or hell. Therefore, the metaphor of "the rich man and Lazarus" isclearly a "prop" designed to clarify the truth.One may ask, "Whydid Jesus not express the truth clearly in his own concrete words, but often inparables?" The answer lies in the fact that, on the one hand, Jesus wastrying to fit his audience and on the other hand, he was trying to keep theBible alive until the one who deserved it cameand I gave it to him (Eze21:27).When the "deserving men" of the ages, the true servantsof God (prophets), were born, the parable would be a solution to the mysteryfor all to believe.Now, God's spokesman, the last Elijah has come,let us to the age-old mystery – "the rich man and Lazarus parable" tofind out the truth!
【 16:19 】 There was a rich man who was clothedin purple and fine linen and feasted lavishly every day.
"There is a rich man," and thisrich man is the opposite of the rich man in "Unrighteous Steward."The"rich man" in "Unrighteous Steward" represents God, thereal God; In this verse, "the rich man, clothed in purple and fine linen,who feasted luxuriantly every day," is clearly a false god with a goodexterior and a bad interior.So, who does this rich man represent?
"Clothed in purple and fine linen",the "purple robe" being the mark of royalty and honourable men (Est 8:15;Pro31:22;Rev. 18:12);"Linen clothes" are expensive clothes made of finelinen cloth, and only royal and noble people are entitled to wear them.This costumewas a symbol of Israel's high priest (Lev. 6:10;16:23), and therefore, in thiscase, the rich are undoubtedly God's chosen people — the Jewish nation.
"Every day luxury feast","luxury feast" in the original contains "not only eat mountainsand delicacies, and pay attention to luxuriant ostentation, the utmost pleasureof the ability to do" meaning, whichisderogatory.This refers to the spiritual feasts that the Jewish people haveenjoyed since the time of Abraham, and their pride in their nationalsuperiority has led them to despise Gentiles and treat Gentiles like dogs (Mt.15:26-27).In the last age, when God's chosen people were transformed from the fleshof Israel into the land of Glory (the beast with two horns like a lamb),America inherited the arrogance of the Jewish chief priests of that time. Asthe only hegemonist in the world, the United States has interpreted racialdiscrimination, exclusion of dissent and domineering politics to theextreme.Especially in the middle and early 19th century, when the AdventistMovement arose in the United States, God's grace and blessing came to this newcountry. The United States developed rapidly, with its industry, economy andscience and technology advancing by leaps and leaps. The causeof religion is flourishing and itscomprehensive national strength greatly enhanced, and it leapt to become theworld's super hegemon.Since then Americans have been "living in luxuryevery day," both spiritually and on earth.So how do ancient Jews, whoenjoy God's superior privilege, and modern America treat strange alien?
[Luke 16:20-21] There was also a beggar namedLazarus, who was covered with sores, and he was set at the rich man's gate toeat what fell from his table.And the dog came and licked his sores.
"There was another beggar, whose namewas Lazarus." The word "another" appears here, indicating the oppositesituation of the above rich and prosperous rich man — the situation of Lazarusthe beggar.Not only was there a beggar Lazarus in the time ofChrist, but there will be a beggar Lazarus incident later."Lazarus"means "with the help of God." This Lazarus was not necessarily thesame Lazarus whom Jesus raised from the dead (John 11:43-44).Because in many ofthe parables that Jesus told, he never gave names to any of the people, and here hementioned not only Lazarus's name, but also realpeople like Abraham and Moses. These names are necessary because of the needfor dialogue in metaphors. So who was Lazarus the beggar God was trying tohelp? What are the characteristics of Lazarus? Today we can recognize who he isby his features!
Lazarus, it is said here, was "coveredwith sores", in sharp contrast to the rich man "dressed in purple andfine linen".Since the rich men dressed in purple and linen representedancient Jews and modern America, the Gentiles living in the region of spiritualdeprivation were Lazarus, the beggars whom ancient Jews and Americans regardedas canines, struggling to survive by begging some food from the Jews and theUnited States.Every country in the world today should follow the lead of theUnited States. They have toact according to the eyes of the United States.They are afraid ofAmerican sanctions in politics, economy, trade, science and technology and so on. This is justLazarus begging at the door of the rich people. Withregard to the Jews, who see Gentiles asdogs, we can see this in a conversation between Jesus and a Canaanite woman whoasks him to heal her demonized daughter.
[Mt 15:22-28]Anda Canaanite woman came out of the same place, and cried, saying, Have mercy onme, O Lord, the son of David!My daughter is suffering greatlyfrom demon-possession." But Jesus gave him no answer. And his disciplescame to him, and besought him, saying, Send her away, for she has cried after us.Jesus replied, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel." Thenshe came and worshipped him. "Lord, help me," she said. He answered,"It is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to thedogs." "Yes, Lord," she said. But dogs also eat the crumbs thatfall from their masters' table." "Woman," Jesus said, "yourfaith is great; it shall be done to you as you ask." And her daughter washealed from that very hour.
At that time, the Jews enjoyed the supremeprivilege of God's chosen people. They were arrogant and haughty. They regardedthe Gentiles as unclean things and called the Gentiles dogs.Today's Americansare replaying the spirit of Jewish arrogance. Before the middle and early partof the last century, China was often discriminated against and bullied by theBritish and American imperialists. The Chinese were treated as dogs by theforeign powers. There were even insulting signs at the door of some foreignhotels that read: "No Chinese or Dogs Admissible". Damn modern Israelis(so called chosen people), -the USimperialists even equate Chinese with dogs,which shows how serioustheir racial discrimination is.. The UnitedStates repeated the evil deeds of the Jewish people's sense of nationalsuperiority, which doomed their downfall.
Jesus responded to the Canaanite woman in theway Jews often discriminate against Gentiles, not that Jesus despised theGentiles, but that by showing kindness to a Gentile woman who was despised,Jesus was leaving an example for his disciples to lead them to get rid ofJewish xenophobia and to be willing to serve the Gentiles.It isalso to show the order of Jesus' ministry: He came first to bring salvation tothe Jews, then to the Gentiles.Salvation came to the Gentiles when the Jewsrejected Jesus. Finally, when the Adventist Church refused further light,salvation came to the Gentile Chinese. The ultimate true light will be revealedto the world through the Chinese people. Through his dialogue with theCanaanite women, Jesus suggests that the order of his work and the direction ofhis future salvation will be revealed among the Gentiles.
The Canaanite woman's desireto eat the crumbs that fall from her master's table, and Ruth's desire toglean, are the same as Lazarus the beggar's desire to eat the crumbs that fallfrom the rich man's table.The charactersdescribed here are all related to Gentiles, which shows how strong God's willwas at the end of human history to carry out the final deliverance throughGentile women!
How can the Gentiles be saved by grace? It is to eat"bits and pieces" to meet the body needs,.Let the bodygradually become strong. In learning to "five loaves of bread twofish", we have said before, whenJesus did signs andwonders to feed five thousand people, therest of the bits and pieces fill twelve baskets, and these bits and pieces are the truth, which shows the truth of Jesus’ salvation is constantlyenriched and addedto formthe last perfect truth, to provide enough nourishment for 144000 people alive to ascend to heaven.SoLazarus the beggar eating the crumb that fell from the rich man's table is asign of salvation for the Gentiles in the last days.
Here Lazarus is said to be "covered withsores", indicating that Lazarus was poor, backward, suffering, riddledwith holes and scarred eyes.This is the state of China in the late 18th – mid20th century.At this time, the United States began its history of rising tohegemony, while China was poor and weak, suffering from internal and externaldifficulties and bloody wars. From the Qing and Burma War in the 18th century,the chaos of Tianli Education, to the Opium War, the First Sino-Japanese War,the 1898 Reform Movement, the Eight-Power Allied Aggression against China, theRevolution of 1911, the May 4th Movement, the National Revolution, theKuomintang and the Communist Civil War, the Cultural Revolution,…The nearly200-year history of China is a history of humiliation and suffering from manyvicissitudes of life.It is typical beggar – Lazarus's appearance!
"They were put at the door of the richman to feed themselves on the bits and pieces that fell from the rich man'stable", because the Jews looked down upon the Gentiles as cheap dogs.Their national superiority and spiritual pride made them disdain to contactwith the Gentiles and unwilling to tell the truth to the Gentiles. The gentilescould only beggarly get a little knowledge of the truth from the Jews.As a Jew,the rich man knew God's command well, but he forgot that he had to pay for theuse of God's goods. God had given him great blessings, but he selfishly usedthem to honor himself, and was unkind to foreigners. He did not use theprivilege God had given him to honor the creator, and was thus abandoned byGod.
Similarly, the late United States became thechosen sons of the king of Kings. God separated them from the worldin order to give them a divine commission of "Judgment, the return ofJesus" (Adventist movement). It was God’spurpose to use them to make the light of heavenmight shine over the world overcast by darkness, so that all nations, tribes,languages andpeoples might hear the call to turn them away from their idols and serve theliving God. If the Jews of that time and the Americans of the end were faithfulto their mandates, they would have been the great powers of the world, and Godwould have been their shield and exalted them above all nations.Through themthe true light and truth of God must be revealed. And they are to be anexample, under God's wise and holy rule, of the superiority of men who worshipGod over all men who worship idols.But the rich Jews and Americans did notproperly use their privileges to serve God, but used their privileges andadvantages to exploit the foreigners, despise them, oppress them, and mistreatthem. In particular, the spirit that the United States is showing to the worldis not the spirit of the Lamb (Christ) at all, but is so hegemonic in its facethat the Bible calls the United States a "beast(false prophet)with two horns like a lamb and speech like a dragon(hegemony)".They are constantlythrowing the vicioustomahawk at allthe dissident forces, making the wholeworld nervous and trembling.In this way, itsends out the wrong message to the world, thinking that Christianity is thespirit of hegemonism and domination, and aggravates the hatred of the Gentilesagainst Christianity. The UnitedStates is showing a false Christ (Jesus) to the world. Therefore, God has totake back the privileges of the rich people — the Jews and the Americans. Towhom does God give the privilege taken away? Undoubtedly a foreigner likeLazarus the Beggar – China! Therefore, in the Prophets, it says:
[Isa 9:1-2] He had despised the land ofZebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the end he had glorified the land ofGalilee of the Gentiles, by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan,and a great light for the people who walked in darkness.Those who live in theland of the shadow of death, on whom the light shines.
[Isa 11:10] In that day the Root of Jesse will stand as abanner for the peoples; the nations will rally to him, and his place of rest will be glorious.
In the end, as a foreigner, the Chinese peoplehave accidentally stepped into the vision of God's salvation. Today, theprophecies in the books of the Prophets aboutthe blessing of theGentiles and the great light in the land of the dark shade are exactly fulfilled in the land of China. Godis going to give the suffering Chinese people the privileges they have takenback from the rich Americans, so that the Chinese people can hold their headshigh! Now it is!
When Jesus was crucified, the period of gracefor the Jews as God's chosen people was over, and grace came to the Gentiles.Similarly, with the opening of the truths of All Prophets, when the AdventistChurch rejected the great light, America's history as God's chosen peopleended.America has become God's forsaken son and has no advantages today.America, after the departure of the Holy Spirit, is today in a state ofcomplete madness under the control of Satan. The American society has beencompletely torn apart, the domestic situation is turbulent, beating, smashingand looting are rampant, people are living in hot water, and the evil of humannature is vividly displayed.
So what was Lazarus's life as abeggar under the roof of the rich man?"And the dogs came and licked hissores." It might be said that the miserable life of this poor man hadreached a tragic climax.The sores bleed; When a dog laps up a sore, it laps up blood, which is a curse, and the Aramaicmantra of the time is: "May the dogs tear the corpse that cannot be buriedto pieces." The end of those who do not diewell is to be licked and torn by dogs.As:[1Ki 21:19]For this is what the Lord says: In the place where dogs licked upthe blood of Naboth, shall dogs lick up your blood also.Those who die withoutGod's approval are licked and torn by dogs. Therefore, "and the dog cameto lick his sores", which represents the 19th century — early 20thcentury semi-feudal and semi-colonial China was carved up by the great powersand bullied almost to the state of death.Lazarus on the verge of death — theold China arrived at the time of the most critical national crisis. So how willhe end up?
[Luke 16:22] And it came to pass, that thebeggar died, and was carried away by the angels into the bosom of Abraham;Therich man also died and was buried.
Here it says, "Then the beggardied…The rich man is dead, "and both men are dead.What does thatmean?First came the death of Lazarus the beggar, whose death represented theGentile's death in his original faith (self-death) – This means that China governedby Marxist-atheist ideology, will abandon atheism and embrace Christianity. When he waswilling to do so, he began to be reborn. This means that China began to comeback from the dead after the reform and opening up and the freedom of religiousbelief was allowed. Although China has not yet officially acceptedChristianity, but since the 1979 years since the reform and opening, countriesannounced release religion (a degree of release, the establishment of threeself churches, is managed by the government), the church then have sprung up,it is to be the beginning of the beggar lazarus died.This death is meant towelcome a new life, to be taken into the arms (protected and saved) of Abraham(who represents God).
"Lazarus the beggar died, and the angelscarried him to Abraham's bosom." Why did Lazarus die and be placed inAbraham's bosom? This means that because of the opening of religious belief inChina, God not only wants to make the foreign atheist countries accept theChristian faith here, but also wants to make the final judgment work here –the work of sin elimination and redemption. It is through the selection of Yao Lianghongsister in China that the work of living justice is done. Those who are willing toaccept Yao's All the Prophets message about living judgment will be placed inAbraham's arms!
"Abraham" is the father of thosewho are justified by faith (Rom. 4:11-12), an example of a man of faithapproved by God.The word "bosom" is based on the situation when theJews go to the feast, each of them lying on his elbow as if he were in thebosom of those behind him.As in: [John13:23] One of the disciples, whom Jesus loved, was leaning against the bosom ofJesus.So "to thebosom" implies to go to dinner with that person and to be loved by him. Beingplaced in Abraham's arms meant being loved and redeemed by God.
"Beg lazarus died, he was carried awayby the angels into Abraham's bosom ", the beggar lazarus, why Chinesepeople to enjoy such a extremely well, this is because the remnant people from atheismcountryinthe last also have thesame faith as Abraham.They havethe same difficulty acceptingthe theory of an unknown woman (YaoLianghong) as Abraham accepting only son as a sacrifice.But the remnantpeople from China did. Why do they do it? Becausethey are the model for Lazarus the beggar — they are self-dead — completelydead in terms of atheism and false theism, and only by self-death can we bereborn. Although they ate crumbs- from Christianity, especially AdventistChurch sometruth, but with thislimited food (truth) nourishment, they can quickly grow into towering trees,stand out from the crowd, and become the highest mountain of God, and becertified by God, so that all the nations may climb a unique mountain (Isa 2:2-3).Thus theirgreat faith will give them the blessing of being in Abraham'sparadise.
So what happened to the rich man?"Therich man also died and was buried." Did you notice?The rich man was notplaced in Abraham's arms when he died, as Lazarus was, but was buried. That theend of the rich man is sad! Burial means entering the grave(the grave –meaning that he cannot be saved), indicating that the rich man could notenjoy the same blessing as Abraham to enter the kingdom of heaven. This meantthat neither the Jews nor the Americans, who had been spiritually pampered,would receive God's final confirmation. Neither the Jews who are satisfied withthe Pentateuch nor the modern rich people (who think they are rich) who aresatisfied with the finite truth of the Christian era and the Adventistera are to besaved by God. And they shall all be buried, to show that they shall not enterthe kingdom of heaven. Today, universal Christianity, if it does not feed onthe crumbs of the spirit of the spiritual beggar Lazarus and accept the truthspoken by Yao Lianghong, the servant of God from China, will suffer the samefate as the rich people of ancient and modern times, who will never be taken byangels and placed in the arms of Abraham!It's as simple and as absolute asthat!
What is the state of the rich man who cannotbe saved?
[Luke 16:23] In hell wherehe was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, withLazarus by his side.
The idea that "In hell wherehe was in torment, "and that people go to a place to "suffer" immediately after death, is contrary to the Bible.The Bible says, "Thedead know nothing" (Ecc 9:5);Whenhis breath dies, he returns to his dust; And that very day his plan perished(Ps. 146:4).Jesuscompared death to sleep (John 11:11-14).But to infer from this parable thatJesus was teaching people that evil people were taken to a place of"pain" immediately after death is completely contrary to Jesus' clearteaching on this subject on other occasions and to the teaching of the Bible asa whole.It is clear that Jesus' words are symbolic, and to interpret themliterally is groundless and wrong!
What is the meaning of "He is tormentedin the grave"? "The grave," which means death, indicates asituation — the situation of death, not hell, but a miserable situation inwhich the wicked are punished. This is when the life of the rich man is alreadyin a state of death after being judged, indicating that his time of grace haspassed and his judgment is over — he is spiritually dead.The rich without theconstraint of the Holy Spirit showed a restless, desperate side. That's what'shappening in America today — plague, riots, looting, riots, economic collapse,anarchism… which are symptoms of the rich man suffering andbeing roasted by fire(all kinds ofdisasters). The period oftheir grace soon came to an end soon after the Jewscrucified Christ and beat to deathStephen , then came the bloody slaughter of Jerusalem by the Romanarmy, such was the fate of the rich men who were burned.
In fact, in the early 2000s, when ReverendJiang was expelled from the Adventist Church of America;When the U.S. Courtawarded Reverend Jiang $XX in damages to the Adventist Church for infringement,it marked the end of the last grace period for the Adventist Church of Americaand the U.S. government.They regard good as evil and evil as good; Take lightfor darkness, and darkness for light; If you pervert what is right and what iswrong, you are against the righteous God, which means God'sgrace will depart from them. Especially when China began to preach theinformation of living judgment — the truth of All the Prophets, the UnitedStates used Jesuit spies to infiltrate the true church of God to sabotage thework and persecute the servants of God's truth, which accelerated the arrivalof the time of American defeat. This is the true meaning of "the richsuffer in the grave"!
"I looked up and saw Abraham in thedistance, and Lazarus was in his arms." This does not mean thatthe rich man in the lake of fire really saw Abraham and Lazarus in heaven, butit means that the Jews and Americans who were sentenced to death were enviousand envious when they saw God's kindness and protection of the Gentiles.Forexample, when the plagues(COVID-19) broke out, China's successful experience infighting the epidemic made the world sit up and take notice. At a time ofglobal plague and economic slowdown, the United States has mixed feelings ofenvy and envy about China's economic success. They can not believethat America, who claimed to be God's chosen people, has been sufferingso many disasters!
How would the rich man behave when he sawLazarus, the beggar, in Abraham's arms?
[Luke 16:24] So he(therich man)called to him,“Father Abraham, havemercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and coolmy tongue;because I am inagony in this fire."
It is a symbolic expression of the desperate needof the American people to bring water (truth) to relieve their burning pain of the fallacy.This is precisely because American Christendom misunderstands the Bible.They understood the last spiritualIsrael – God’s realremnant as the flesh of Israel.So theyhumoured the flesh of Israelites – the sins ofZionists, and they were in cahoots withthe Catholics. They intend to control the world by means of hegemonism and create a world of Pandemonium, thus gettingburned and suffering. Now the richman (America) craves a cool drop of water (truth) just as Lazarus originallycraved a little scrap from the rich man's table. This is to say that the illsof American society today cannot be solved by any political power or militarymeans. The only way to solve America's ills is to import clean water fromLazarus, China. Only the great physician, Christ's medicine, the modern truth,All the Prophets, is the only cure for cancer in America.So when Jesus rebukedthe Laodicean church in Revelation 3, he made a special point of asking them tobuy eye medicine to cure their blindness.The idea that the rich people (theAmerican-led Adventist Church) think they are rich, but they are poor, blind,miserable creatures who can do nothing about America's incurable disease! Butthe humble and obedient Lazarus, the remaining people of China, the LastRevival feltinadequate and poor, so they were willing to learn and receive training, andthey accumulated grain, barley, oil, wine and fruit, and were rich enough togive to others in large quantities. So the fortunes of the rich and the beggarsare reversed. This fulfilled the words of James:[Jas4:6] God resiststhe proud, but gives grace to the humble.The innate humility and kindness of theChinese people have given them anunprecedented blessing — glory!
"My father Abraham," Abrahamrepresents God here. For God is the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and theGod of Jacob (Ex 3:6).
"Pity me, send Lazarus", referringto the betrayal of the Adventist Church that led to the ruin of the UnitedStates, which now badly needs the healing of modern truth from China.
"Dip the tip of your finger in the waterand cool my tongue." The tongue is for speech, but it is also fire, and kindlesthe flames of hell (Jas 3:6).Why is the tongue of the rich man (USA) burning sopainfully? Because they are preaching false things and misleading the world. As:[Rev 16:13]And I saw three unclean spirits like frogscoming out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, andout of the mouth of the false prophet.Thesethree foul frog-like spirits are the voices of America's false prophets.Toomuch noise, dry mouth, ignited the fire of hell. So now they need cleanwater, the truth of All the Prophets, to quench our thirst. As:[Eze36:25]And I will sprinkle clean water upon you,and you shall be clean.I will cleanse you from allyour filthiness and from all your idols.Only the truthspoken by Yao Lianghong from modern Lazarus, the clear water of China, is theonly remedy to relieve the pain of the fire of the rich man's tongue. Otherwise,the bitterness of the rich man's mouth and the fire of all the believers ofthe Adventist church and the One-DayMeeting willnever go away!
What will bethe response to the rich man's distress call to Abraham?
[Luke 16:25-26] But Abraham replied, "Son,remember that during your lifetime you enjoyed your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he iscomforted here, and you are in agony. And besidesall this, between us andyou a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone crossover from there to us. "
This is God's answer to the distress signalof the rich and the comedown.It shows that God, after his judgment, hasmade a final and irrevocable judgment on the fate of the United States.America's door of grace has been closed, butChina is at the height of its blessing. This is an immutable reality!
"Remember that during your lifetime you enjoyedyour good things. “Remember” means to investigate thecase trial, – to examine a file.“In yourlifetime you received your good things.” “In your lifetime”means before the grace doorcloses. “You received your good things,”means all the thingsthat had been done before the grace door was closedwere brought to trial.This means that God has rendered a just judgment bylooking at the records of the Adventist Church in the United States and theChurch of the Eleventh Hour of China. Theend of the grace period in the United States was due to the collusion of theAdventist Church in the United States and the U.S. government, which wronglyjudged the case of Reverend Jiang, the spokesman of God, and convicted him,which led to the end of the grace period in the United States. China's graceperiod lasts because the Chinese government refused tolisten to the false accusations of the Jesuit spies, the leaders of theAmerican-run Chinese Adventists, and liberated Yao Lianghong sister, servantsof God. In this way, the Chinese government has won itself a preciousopportunity to obtain an extended period of grace. Therefore, China is stillunder the protection of God's grace until the issuance of the beast image (thatis, when the Chinese government forces the LastRevival led byYao Lianghong, when the nation's grace period ends).It isimpossible for the burning (disaster)Americato cross fromthe rich man's(America) side to Lazarus's (China)side today. Inother words, the United States will never get China's blessing. When a nationand an individual are put on trial, it is impossible to change their fate. Itis too late to repent. The final fate of the United States, the final defeat ofthe nation, is set in stone.
The period ofpersonal grace is the final judgment upon hearing the truth preached by Yao Lianghong of the church of the Last Revival.In general, Godgives a man several chances, and if he hears the truth so repeatedly and sofirmly rejects that he will not accept the truth even if helives for another hundred years, then the period of his grace will cometo an early end. Especially the believers of the church, who were thefirst to receive the truth, cannot be brought back to repentance if they turnaway from the truth.For they havecrucified the Son of God again, and put him to open shame.It is like a fieldthat feeds on the rain that often falls and grows plants suitable for those whocultivate them, and receives good from God.But that which beareth thorns andthistles is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing, whose end is to be burned (Heb.6:6-8).For example, Shebna who died in a glorious chariot, Nadab Abihu whooffered fire, the serpent egg who set up a "memorial" to outsiders,and later the false prophet Giang and the Grandmother Wolf, and so on, the fate of the sinners who were named in theBible was also settled and irreversible, and all of them were final judgments.God's word"yes is yes, no is no", once the verdict is made,there will never be another chance. In fact, in today's world, many people havebeen sentenced to death, the living is not really alive, but a walking corpse. Satan's spiritis moving in him.
"A great chasmhas been fixed," this shows that an insurmountable gaphas been drawn between the people of God and the people of Satan along with thetruth of Yao Lianghong. In today's world, two paths are clear: either you candrink the endless waters of truth told by the beggar Lazarus, the Chinese Yao Lianghong;or you can keeplistening to the dull whine of a dead rich man, theAdventist Church of America, or the One- Day Meeting, sothat yourears get calloused, your tongue catches fire, and you burn yourself to ashes.There is no middle way.
[Luke 16:27-28] Then he said, "Father,please send Lazarus to my father's house, for I have five brothers.Let him warn them, so thatthey will not also come to this place of torment."
These are all symbolic expressions, notreally rich souls crying in hell.Here we are using the experience of the rich menwho have been tried, that is, the Jews and the American, as a warning tothoseGentileswho are or are about to be tried.Don't follow theancient Jews and today's American crime – don't followthe United States that a set of false prophets, whether it is a politicaldemocracy, or religious dogmatism, don't follow the USin everything. If we still take the American spirit as ourexample today, we will fall into the lake of fire, suffer pain, and finally perishlike the rich man! This is the story of a loser, using his own experience towarn people around the world to stay away from the American way of life, and toreconstruct his own proper template of faith and way of life.And this newtemplate is undoubtedly the beggar Lazarus, the flag of truth from Chinese YaoLianghong!
What appealdoes the condemned rich man make to his family? "Send Lazarus to myfather's house, for I have five other brothers." Who are these fivebrothers?From a Jewish standpoint, the five brothers are the five churches ofGod during the Five Reformation in Matthew; Standing on the ground of theAdventist Church in America, these five brothers are those who camefrom the five cities of Egypt and spoke the Canaanitedialect inIsaiah 19,that is, five of them came out of the Elventh Hour (Light of Life,Committee of Cultureand Works, SmallGroup of Men, The Last Revival, and the Path of LateRain).Only one of the five sons is confirmed by God. Of the five reformation, the lastreformation,namely the Eleventh Hour Reformation, is the finalcertification. The five sons of the five cities of Egypttake Yao Lianghong (4th generation church) from Zhongshan, Guangdong Provinceas God's certification!(See the All Prophets handout for more information.)
What would therich man say to the five brothers? Let him bearwitness against them, lest they also come into this place of torment. The richmanasked God to send Lazarus as a witness to his five brothers, to remind them notto follow his own disobedience and arrogance, so that they would not come tothe same tragic end as himself. "He will bear witness against them,"and "He" is Lazarus.
How did Abrahamanswer the rich man's request?
[Luke 16:29] Abraham replied, ‘They have Mosesand the Prophets; let them obey them.
" The words of Moses and the Prophets," Mosesmeans the "five books of Moses," plus the "All the Prophets,"that's the whole Bible.That is, if yourfive brothers don't end up in the same situation as you, they can go and studythe Pentateuch and the Prophets, which is to say, the entire Bible. For it isthis biblethattestifies of Jesus (John 5:39).In other words, if you want to avoidthe failures of the Jews and the Americans, you only need to study the entireBible to know what to do. The whole truth of the Bible is evidence of Jesus'testimony and an instrument of salvation. Today Yao Lianghong sisterfrom China has fully interpreted the words of Moses and theProphets, sotoday you will be listening to Moses and the Prophets as long as youbelieveand accept the full truth that Yao Lianghong explained– the words of All the Prophets andother messages, then you will not fall into a painful placelike the rich people!
It is clear from Abraham's words that the endof the rich man and Lazarus was decided not by the difference between the richand the poor, nor by whether they did good or not, but by whether they listenedto Moses and the Prophets, believing the perfect truth.This is"justification by faith"!
How did the rich man respond when Abraham'sprophesied God showed that the difference in the fates of the rich man andLazarus was determined by their acceptance of Moses and the Prophets?
[Luke 16:30-31] “‘ No, father Abraham’he said, ‘but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’”“Abraham said to him, , ‘If they do notlisten to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’"
"No, my father Abraham," suggeststhat the rich man is so conceited that he does not even agree with Abraham(God), as if he were more understanding and wise than God.This is thefundamental cause of the death of the rich man.Themeaning of the rich man is that myfive brothers may not believe in the five books of Moses and the Prophets, but ifyou warn them of their fate by a man who has risen from the dead, they(five brothers)will repent and believe.
But what did Abraham(a prefiguration of God,also Jesus) say? "If they do not listen to Mosesand the Prophets, they will not be persuaded even if one rises from thedead." These are the words Jesus had spoken to the Jews.Jesus said tothem, "If you do not believe the words of Moses and the Prophets, no onewho has been raised from the dead can make them believe.In fact, less than afew weeks after telling this parable, Jesus actually raised a man named Lazarusfrom the dead, in response to the Jewish leaders' challenge for a miracle.Inorder for them to see the depth of their inner rebellion, Jesus actually raiseda dead man (Lazarus) at their request. What happened? That was the extraordinarymiracle, not only didnot make the Jews repent, believe in Jesus, but made themnegotiated to get rid of Lazarus.It even led Jewish leaders to step up theirattempts to kill Jesus (Jn. 11:47-54) in order to shore up their shakyposition.Afterthat the Lord Jesus himself rose from the dead, but the Jews still did notbelieve him (Matt. 28:11- 15;Acts 13:30 — 40,44 — 45).Thus, if men have God'srevelation, that is,the words of Moses and the Prophets, and still rejectthe words of the explicit truth, they are just as impassively and unflinchingly refusing toreceive any supernatural revelation, nomatter how much it is.Those who are not moved by the simple wordsof the eternal truth of the Bible will not repent for any amount ofsupernatural revelation;No miracle can move them.Henceforth God will nevermeasure the true church by signs and wonders, for he will never do a thanklessthing to feed the arrogance of the wicked, to satisfy their vanity and pride(for that is the mind of the rich). Therefore, in the end, all the churches inthe pursuit of miracles and wonders are not from God, but from the ghosts ofthe rich!
Since it was impossible to make peoplebelieve in Jesus through signs and wonders in the age of Christ, it is evenmore impossible for God to make people believe in the greater light in such afoolish way in the end of the age of the flood of signs. If a person's heart isclosed and rejects the word of God, no evidence — not even theresurrection of the dead — can change him. Christ, the Head of those who haverisen from the dead (Col. 1:18), calls his flock with His voice today.If anyonedoes not believe in Christ, the resurrection from the dead is a myth to him; Ifa man does not believe today that Christ is speaking to his people through theBook of the Prophets, no miracle can be of any benefit to his salvation.
Thus, from beginning to end, God's method ofsalvation has been based on Moses and the Prophets, and any miracle or miraclebeyond that is not the principle of God's salvation, but the sugar-coating ofSatan for the deceit of the unrepentant modern rich.If the parable of "therich man and Lazarus" does not wake up the rich man today, then you willsurely follow the rich man!
Those who today disdainfully dismiss thesolemn message of the Old Testament should also consider the fate of the richman in this parable;Today, those who reject the truth of All the Prophets andregard Yao sister as their enemy should also ask a final question about theirfate — what can I do to be saved?
The words of Moses and the Prophets – theperfect truth explained by Yao Lianghong – provide enough evidence for thosewhose motives are pure to believe. And those who are stubborn and proud will gofrom the former darkness into the deeper darkness as they rebel against theLight!
