Introduction

The victorious church ceaselessly propels human history forward. Each triumph of the church advances human history by a step. In God's plan, the victories of the church are of paramount importance. The victorious church will be marked with God's seal in the end times, for the world will endure immense calamities that will be difficult for us to bear.

The victorious church being marked with God's seal in the end times is something we must contemplate and ponder. This revelation is clearly articulated in Paul's epistles, where being sealed with the Holy Spirit is of utmost importance. This matter must be considered in conjunction with the events of receiving the Holy Spirit in the Book of Acts.

We will examine this from several perspectives: first, the sealing, which is connected to the victorious church receiving the Holy Spirit; second, overcoming worldly things; and third, the victorious church must be a praying church.

Horses and the Worldly Logical System are Closely Linked

Let us begin with Revelation chapter 4:

And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. (Revelation 6:1-8)

I have conducted extensive research on these four horses because during an exorcism, a demon identified itself as Old Horse. I wondered where this Old Horse came from.

After my mother developed Alzheimer's, she would often play with feces, handling dirty things. Initially, she was bedridden and unable to manage her personal hygiene. However, as we continued to cast out demons every day, my mother gradually began to recover, and the demons frequently spoke. During this process, my mother also saw the spirits of dung beetles, small crabs, and many strange, wriggling spirits.

One day, as I was leading my mother in prayer for deliverance, the demon manifested, and I asked it: Who are you? Where did you come from? When I asked where they came from, they said that Old Horse sent them. I did not understand what this Old Horse was. It seemed that the Bible did not write much about it.

So, I did a very detailed study. This horse thing is very interesting, what did the Book of Revelation say when the first four seals were opened? It talks about the four horses. This horse is also very interesting. When the Israelites left Egypt, Moses forbade them to buy horses from Egypt in the Bible.

This is very strange, why must it be said that you can't buy horses? It is okay not to buy cattle, donkeys, or camels, but it must be that you cannot buy horses. Gradually, I discovered that this horse represents the worldly value system!

There are many such verses in the Bible:

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God. (Psalm 20:7)

Not relying on chariots or horses, but solely relying on the Spirit of the Lord, can accomplish things. Horses are closely related to the worldly logical system. In our Chinese culture, horses appear in too many places, the spirit of the dragon and horse, dragons and horses are linked together. The white horse ridden by Tang Seng in Journey to the West was transformed from the third prince of the Dragon King. The horse thing is very interesting, we say that the victorious church should overcome the old horse, and the horse is the thing of the world.

Over time, I discovered that the Bible records many things related to horses. When I first read the Book of Revelation, I saw at first a white horse, and in the past when I read the Book of Revelation, I never knew what this thing was, and it also talked about continuous victory and gave him a crown. We always thought this was a good thing.

In fact, these four horses are not good things. There are black horses, gray horses, white horses, and red horses. These four horses are definitely the worldly system. Everyone should know that in our generation today, gray horses are prevailing. Gray horses represent plagues and diseases. I gradually learned that the spiritual essence of disease is very clear, and that is why our church has put a lot of effort into combating the evil spirits behind diseases.

The Victorious Church Must Overcome the Worldly System

I can boldly say that the victorious church overcomes this gray horse, that is to say, the plague and the power of the underworld cannot overcome the victorious church. As we gradually move in this direction, we begin to recognize the corruption of this world.

Worldly things, marrying and giving in marriage, buying and selling, farming and building, people think these things are too normal. In fact, a Christian can easily be corrupted by these things of marrying and giving in marriage, farming and building, buying and selling. If you do it right, you will forget what life is all about, and then people will get stuck in it.

None of the Christians I have served do not want to live a good life, including me. However, it is very difficult for us to live a good life in this world. Today they sent me a picture of a famous pastor lying in bed with cancer, asking many people to pray for him, and many people pray about whether to have surgery.

In fact, there is no such prayer in the Bible: God, do I want to do chemotherapy? God, do I want to have surgery? Because our God is a victorious God. So why do so many people not win? Don't think that I am talking about an individual case. I am talking about a general and universal principle.

If the church does not win, it cannot overcome the gray horse. Disease is a very bad thing, and getting cancer is very hard. Why do people get cancer? Because you can't win. So today our church must be victorious. We must overcome all these white horses, black horses, gray horses, and red horses. The church cannot follow the worldly value system, the church must follow God's value system.

Now the church runs with worldly systems is too common, and no one dares to stand up, but I dare to stand up and say that, I know I will become the target of public criticism, but I don't care, I care what it does. Therefore, if you want to serve God, just please God, and if you want to please people, don't be a servant of Jesus Christ. Today, I am determined to serve God and I will only please God!

It is not easy for us to overcome the worldly system. For example, in the face of money, does people value money or God? This confuses many people. Some people say they don't love money, but they love money in their hearts. So the question is, can being poor represent not valuing money? Many people think that being poor is spiritual, but everyone should know that being poor is not a good thing. Not valuing money cannot be equated with being poor, and being poor cannot be equated with being spiritual.

In the face of disease, do I see a doctor or not? Do I trust doctors, trust health care, or trust God? This is a difficult decision, I can understand. But as for me personally, I know very well what the health care system is. The health care system is an old horse's worldly system. That is to say, we need to know how easily we fall into this worldly system.

The victorious church has opened a chapter in human history. The white horse came out, the red horse came out, the black horse came out, the gray horse came out, I tell you, we are already in the end times today, and many things in the Book of Revelation have been fulfilled, and human history is developing. If you want to live a good life, then I will pour a bucket of cold water on everyone, I think you don’t have much of this good life, and in the end everyone will not be able to achieve it.

If you want to live a good life, love each other as husband and wife, have children and grandchildren, and have four generations living under the same roof, and want to live a prosperous life, then forget it, because in these end times, disasters will come one after another. Let's not talk about anything else, let's just talk about the disease. When I went to the hospital to see a doctor when I was a child, the hospital was deserted. Now, the hospital is like a vegetable market. I took a picture and there were more people than the busiest time in the Beijing subway station.

Have the brothers and sisters ever thought about it? Although science is developed, medicine is also developed, and there should be fewer diseases, but why are there more patients instead? It should not work, if it does not work, then we will observe and think a little, and we will know that there is a problem with this medical system. Don’t you find it strange? Life is better and nutrition is richer, but there are more and more diseases, just because you cannot win in the spirit!

I have good news for you. A victorious church can save you time in the hospital and save you the medical expenses. Everyone wants to live a good life, but you have to win, if you don't win, this gray horse will give you a hard time. I saw this with my own eyes. It was originally a minor illness. He went to the hospital and asked people to give him the best treatment. After three months, he was lying in bed and couldn't get out of bed.

Many years ago, I went back to see my dad. I couldn't win in those years, so there was no way. The vice president of the hospital was my classmate, and the hospital’s various relationships were actually pretty good. If we wanted to ask someone, we could do it. But the doctor said to me, We will do our best. I said, Thank you very much. He said, Actually, my dad had the same disease as your dad two years ago. I said, What happened to your dad later? He said, My dad was not cured. He tried his best, but in the end my dad was not cured. He walked into the hospital leisurely, and then lay in bed, and then my dad passed away.

Opening the first four seals and the four horses coming out is no joke. Those who can win among these four horses are called the victorious church.

Disaster Comes from God

And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? (Revelation 6:9-10)

Whether it is the souls of those who were killed unjustly or us, we are all eager for the day of God's judgment to come soon, so that we can rest from all the labor in this world. This is such a good thing, I can't wait for the day of victory to come soon. But I must say today that being killed is much better than dying of cancer.

And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? (Revelation 6:12-17)

At this time, everyone may have a confusion. Often some people think that the earthquake is not from God, and think it is a natural disaster. In fact, the English is better, and the English is called The work of God is the act of God. Insurance does not include the act of God. Acts of God are outside insurance.

We are beginning to see that all the disasters in this world come from God. Sodom and Gomorrah were burned by fire from heaven, Noah's flood came from God, and in these last days, a series of disasters came from God. But the question arises, what should we people do on earth since our God has prepared these disasters? Do you say that God can save us from these disasters that he has brought? This is absolutely true!

Let us put it this way, as it was in the days of Noah and Sodom, so will it be in the last days. Noah was a man who pleased God, and the flood washed away everyone, but Noah's family was saved. The people of Sodom were destroyed, but Lot was not destroyed.

So we need to know that the victorious church is an ark! If you enter this ark, the disasters in this world have nothing to do with us. These disasters of God are not prepared for us, but for this world. But if you are not a victorious Christian, then things will be different. Some people still love this world, so love it slowly, what will happen when disaster comes? This world does not have many years left.

Rejecting a Small Life

In chapter 6, people can still bear those disasters, including plagues. But I think we must know that before God brings greater disasters on this earth, God is going to do one thing, God wants to put a seal on his servants, that is, the victorious Christians. This is not what I said, this is in Revelation chapter 7:

And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. (Revelation 7:1-3)

The people on this earth are suffering these disasters, but those who are sealed are fine. This is not difficult to understand. When the Israelites suffered a natural disaster, something happened and Elijah was fine. I have a deep hope inside, why do I want to build a victorious church even if I die? Why do I have to receive God's seal even if I die? Why do I have to live a victorious life even if I die? The key lies in this. Because no one can bear the disasters that are about to come. That is really no joke.

Why is the number of those who are sealed small? One hundred and forty-four thousand people, twelve thousand from one tribe. But some churches have as many as one million people. Someone went to Africa to preach the gospel and held meetings with one million or two million people. Being a Christian is easy, but being a victorious Christian is not easy! Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is a narrow gate, and only those who work hard can obtain it. What are you working hard for? It is to work hard to overcome the worldly system.

I tell you, the worldly system is not murder and arson. The worldly system is living a small life. Farming and building, marrying and giving in marriage, and having blind dates. Now blind dates have blind date websites, which are very efficient. You can sit at home and video chat. One hour you have a blind date with this person, and the next hour you have a blind date with another person. The speed of blind date is very fast. This worldly system, marrying and giving in marriage, farming and building, buying and selling, doesn’t it sound like there’s nothing wrong? But the problem is, these things are called living a small life.

Our God does not want us to live a small life. Our God actually likes to toss us around. I didn't want to toss around at all before. I just wanted to live a comfortable life, but I can't live it. I am a good man who lives well. I do a good job in housework and don't touch anything about eating, drinking and having fun. I only have one hobby, which is serving God. I can do all the housework. I iron clothes better than a maid. Cleaning, sweeping the toilet, I can do these things quickly and well.

But if you don’t toss it, it will toss you. This worldly thing is too bad and has tossed me badly. Later I said let’s forget it, you toss me, I’ll go all out, I’ll toss myself on my own initiative. Later I discovered that tossing requires faith. Abraham had just set up his tent, which was so difficult. Thousands of people ate, drank, and slept, and there were so many things to do. As soon as it’s set up, it has to be dismantled, move house, walk twenty kilometers to the east, walk again, walk across the land, and then set up tents everywhere and build altars everywhere.

Isn’t this looking for trouble for nothing? Can’t you just stay there? God just likes to toss Abraham around. After a while, he ran to Egypt again. It’s no joke to bring so many people with him. That tossing is really scary. Jacob also tossed, Joseph also tossed. When Israel was destroyed, many people were captured to Babylon, and they came back to build the temple again. Anyway, it was very tortuous.

Later I gradually learned that living a small life is not what God wants. It is very important to give oneself to God and start being a victorious Christian. What does this have to do with God's seal? Because God's seal is receiving the Holy Spirit, and whoever is led by the Holy Spirit will receive eternal life, and whoever is led by the flesh will be corrupted.

People follow the pleasures of the flesh, that is, living life, and following the Holy Spirit is tossing. You say that this God is too bad, why does he toss people so much? Abraham tossed all day long, and he didn't know what tomorrow would be like. The Israelites were also tossed when they left Egypt, and they were tossed in the wilderness, but how could they live in faith if they were not tossed?

Overcoming Worldly Logic Through the Holy Spirit

To be victorious, we must overcome the worldly system of logic. How do we achieve this victory? Through the Holy Spirit. Ephesians states that we are sealed with the Holy Spirit as a mark. Our church is one where praying in tongues is prevalent, and our volume of prayer is significant. I encourage everyone not to fall into the mystique of praying in tongues, as the misconceptions it brings can be profound.

What is praying in tongues all about? Praying in tongues is a gift bestowed by the descent of the Holy Spirit. It means the Holy Spirit is praying within us. The more one prays in tongues, the more one is sealed. Some might ask, How do you know it's praying in tongues? I tell you, I didn't use to be fond of praying in tongues. On my first day at church, I was dragged into a class to learn how to pray in tongues, struggling from morning until after 3 PM.

Having skipped breakfast and lunch, my stomach was growling with hunger. I looked around and thought, Forget it, I can't endure this. So, I decided to say a few phrases—imitating how others were praying. The Christians in the church were delighted; they rejoiced at my attempts. Later, after leaving the church, something happened: although I had only learned a few phrases, I was filled with joy, which was remarkable.

Since then, I had been trying to avoid it, feeling somewhat resistant to praying in tongues. I found it rather dull, but I read the Bible for several hours every night. Peter and John both emphasized: Have you received the Holy Spirit? Receiving the Holy Spirit is of utmost importance. You can check this in the Bible. There is a course I specifically taught called The Mystique of Praying in Tongues on the website, which you can also listen to.

Peter and John, who had followed Jesus, upon hearing that some had believed, did not ask, Have you been baptized? or Have you repented? but Have you received the Holy Spirit? If they hadn't received the Holy Spirit, they urged them to do so quickly. Later, Paul, who hadn't followed Jesus but to whom Jesus had appeared, also asked wherever he went, Have you received the Holy Spirit? If not, he would have them receive the Holy Spirit immediately.

Today, Christians often get one thing wrong: they believe, repent, are baptized, and then stop there, omitting the crucial step of receiving the Holy Spirit. It is quite common now not to follow the Bible's instructions. Why are Christians so weak today? Because they lack the Holy Spirit. The Bible clearly states this; if you doubt it, read Acts chapters 8 and 19. That's what they did, but today we skip a step. Can that work?

When a camera is manufactured, it follows steps one, two, three, four, and five. If you skip a few steps, will the camera still function? Something will surely go wrong. I once had an employee who liked to skip steps. My manager told me, Boss, this employee doesn't follow the rules. I said, Call him over. The employee was a Christian, and I had introduced him to the job.

I asked him, Why do you only do steps one, three, and five, but not two, four, and six? He replied, Why should I? I was about to lose it: What kind of employee asks me why? This is your job! Asking you to do one, two, three, four, five, and six, and you only do one, two, three, or one, three, five—is that doing work?

Believing in the Lord is the same; you cannot omit steps, especially the crucial ones. Therefore, brothers and sisters, return to the Bible. If you want to be a truly victorious Christian, do exactly as the Bible instructs. Later, I prayed in tongues extensively every day. I thank God that after a year of prayer, miracles and wonders followed like bamboo shoots after rain. Prayer became effective, even recordings of my prayers proved useful. God is truly amazing!

I enjoy sharing about reading Revelation and researching various materials. I find many interpretations unreliable. Being a person of prayer, I lead Bible studies, preparing well in advance and seeking God's understanding. I believe my interpretation of Revelation is clear. My Bible study book on Revelation, The Revelation of the Overcoming Church, is divided into two volumes, covering the twenty-plus chapters of Revelation in about 400 pages.

Calamities come from God, not from the devil. God seals His people to protect them from impending disasters. In Jesus' time, it was revealed: Pray always and be vigilant to escape the coming disasters. Therefore, do not treat prayer casually.

The Church Must Be a Praying Church

Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise! (Revelation 5:12)

Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple; and he who sits on the throne will shelter them with his presence. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any scorching heat. (Revelation 7:15-16)

This is from Revelation chapter 7, which speaks of people being sealed by God to reveal the seventh seal. In Revelation chapter 8, the scripture says:

And another angel came and stood at the altar with a golden censer, and he was given much incense to offer with the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar before the throne, and the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, rose before God from the hand of the angel. Then the angel took the censer and filled it with fire from the altar and threw it on the earth, and there were peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake. (Revelation 8:3-5)

We must understand that the church must be a praying church. When I first started the church, it was not a praying church, but it has now become one. A praying church is crucial. Many brothers and sisters become skilled listeners, but the pastor's message doesn't reach God's throne. It is the prayers of all the saints that rise together to the golden altar before the throne.

Should we not be asking for world peace today? I often see Christians praying for economic prosperity, but I find it strange, as I don't see anything about praying for the economy in the Bible. Some even pray for world peace, but is world peace God's intention? I don't see it.

If ordinary people saw this, how could they believe in God? But their disbelief does not matter; God will act accordingly. After prayer, there is thunder, lightning, and earthquakes. Earthquakes can cause death, which is a common occurrence. Sometimes my words may seem unkind, but it's essential to be kind to God, not just to people, because only being kind to people is futile. Brothers and sisters, know that natural and man-made disasters begin in this way!

For anything else, I must find a basis in the Bible before praying, otherwise, I dislike acting blindly. Acting blindly without a basis in the Bible is useless! When the seventh seal begins to be opened, seven trumpets will be blown. If the seven trumpets are sounded, it will be the Third World War.

Some say the First World War involved guns and cannons, the Second World War had tanks, airplanes, and other modern weapons, and the Third World War will be even more advanced. After the First World War, the global economy was reshuffled. After the Second World War, the United States became the most powerful nation in the world. After the Third World War, everyone will return to the Stone Age.

The Bible clearly describes what will happen when the seventh trumpet is blown: the rapture of the church. The Third World War is no joke; no one on earth can escape suffering in such a war. However, if it is a victorious church, then it will be well. The effects of a victorious church are extraordinary.

The opening of the seven seals includes the seven trumpets in the seventh seal, and the seventh trumpet includes the seven bowls. The pace is accelerating.

The Victorious Church Drives Human History Forward

The first angel blew his trumpet, and there followed hail and fire, mixed with blood, and these were thrown upon the earth. And a third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.The second angel blew his trumpet, and something like a great mountain, burning with fire, was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood. A third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed. The third angel blew his trumpet, and a great star fell from heaven, blazing like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water.’ (The name of the star is Wormwood.) A third of the waters became wormwood, and many people died from the water, because it had been made bitter.The fourth angel blew his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of their light might be darkened, and a third of the day might be kept from shining, and likewise a third of the night. Then I looked, and I heard an eagle crying with a loud voice as it flew directly overhead, Woe, woe, woe to those who dwell on the earth, because of the trumpet blasts of the three angels who are about to sound!’ (Revelation 8:7-13)

This is no joke. When these days arrive, what will you use to resist them? If you don't have God's seal on you, how will you survive? Let me explain; contemplate this carefully. What else could that ball of fire be if not an atomic bomb? A mountain burning with fire, a star blazing with fire – aren't those missiles? What is a burning mountain thrown into the sea if not a nuclear bomb? It all looks frightening, and then the water becomes bitter, and many people die.

Some might ask, If you are sealed by God, can you escape? If an atomic bomb falls where you are, what good is any seal? It's not about that. It is about God sending calamities upon the earth, but God has eyes and will never allow these things to befall His beloved people, because these calamities come from God.

Then the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star fallen from heaven to earth, and he was given the key to the shaft of the bottomless pit. He opened the shaft of the bottomless pit, and from the shaft rose smoke like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke from the shaft. Then from the smoke came locusts on the earth, and they were granted power like the power of scorpions of the earth. They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any green plant or any tree, but only those people who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. (Revelation 9:1-4)

If you don't have God's seal on you, how will you survive? The disaster harms those without the seal. Do you want to live a good life? Live it well, with loving spouses and good children, but how will you survive the days of disaster?

They were allowed to torment them for five months, but not to kill them, and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it stings someone. And in those days people will seek death and will not find it. They will long to die, but death will flee from them. The locusts had the appearance of horses prepared for battle: on their heads were what looked like crowns of gold; their faces were like human faces, their hair like women's hair, and their teeth like lions' teeth; they had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the sound of many chariots charging into battle. They have tails like scorpions, and their stings are in their tails, and with their sting they can hurt people for five months. They have as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek he is called Apollyon. (Revelation 9:5-11)

This is unbelievable! This passage speaks of an army of two hundred million horses. The earth is full of armies of old horses. It might seem strange, but these old horses cannot harm those who belong to God; they are specifically meant to harm those who love the world. Can you understand this? It turns out that even the old horses are governed by God.

And this is how I saw the horses in my vision and those who rode them: they wore breastplates the color of fire and of sapphire and of sulfur, and the heads of the horses were like lions heads, and fire and smoke and sulfur came out of their mouths. By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed, by the fire and smoke and sulfur coming out of their mouths. For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails, for their tails are like serpents with heads, and by means of them they wound. (Revelation 9:17-19)

Brothers and sisters, we must know that these days are getting closer and closer, and there are powder kegs being ignited everywhere. The events of world war are beyond human control, but a victorious church will continually drive human history forward, preparing the way for the return of Jesus Christ. These events must happen, and the result will be the sounding of the seventh trumpet.

Before the seventh angel blows his trumpet, in chapter 11 of Revelation, there are two evangelists, God's anointed ones, who preach for 42 months and are then killed. When they are killed, the Third World War is already over or about to end. After the war ends, the two evangelists are killed, and their bodies are placed in the street. The whole world rejoices, celebrating their deaths. Why are these two evangelists killed? What have they been doing all day?

These two evangelists have been making people miserable, constantly proclaiming God's judgment. It seems that I am constantly doing this as well; as soon as I speak, I declare a lot of calamities. I rarely talk about world peace, nor do I pray for it, and I don't pray for economic development either. I only pray for one thing: to build God's victorious and glorious church.

Later, after the two evangelists are killed, their bodies are left in the street. After three and a half days, they are resurrected and ascend to heaven on a cloud. If you see such things, you will know that the day of the rapture of the church is very near.

saying, ‘We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty, who is and who was, for you have taken your great power and begun to reign. The nations raged, but your wrath has come, and the time for judging the dead, and for rewarding your servants, the prophets and saints, and those who fear your name, both small and great, and for destroying the destroyers of the earth. Then God's temple in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant was seen within his temple. There were flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, an earthquake, and heavy hail. (Revelation 11:17-19)

Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever.’ (Revelation 11:15)

We must know what the resurrection of the two evangelists means before the seventh angel blows his trumpet. If you are a victorious Christian, reading this is enough; what comes after that is irrelevant to us. If you are still on this earth at that time, it will be terrible. If you still want to be a Christian, there is only one way: to be martyred for Jesus Christ, because at that time, the kingdom on earth will be ruled by the Antichrist.

Establishing a Correct, God-Centered View of the Church

Therefore, when the last trumpet sounds, the dead will be resurrected. I am carefully guiding you through Revelation in the hope that you will know that these days are very near. If you do not know that these days are very near, it is a tragedy. In any case, we must come out of our mundane lives, learn to overcome the worldly system of logic, and not love the world. If you love the world, the love of God is not in you.

Reading to Revelation chapter 11 essentially leads to the rapture of the victorious church. Our sharing on the revelation of building a victorious church could not be clearer. Whether we can uphold our Mingding Destiny on this earth is at the core of our Chinese Mingding Destiny.

It is not enough to be an ordinary Christian; each person must overcome the carnal passions and desires of the flesh, as well as the worldly system and the old horses. Who are the old horses? The old horses are those who control this worldly system of values. Reading Revelation to this point, brothers and sisters, know that the seven bowls that follow are not meant for us to endure.

I encourage everyone to know clearly how important it is to establish a victorious church with a correct, God-centered view of the church! Establishing a victorious church is due to having a church concept, because the church is the body of Jesus Christ. This is of utmost importance!

Therefore, we need to rethink one thing: are you someone who is building a victorious church? This is the most crucial question. You may be someone who runs around to different churches or attends special meetings, but can you achieve victory by running to special meetings? No, you cannot. Can you achieve victory by running to different churches? No, you cannot. Overcoming this worldly system and overcoming the carnal passions and desires of the flesh will prevent these last disasters from harming us.

We need to begin to know definitively that we are in a generation similar to the days of Sodom and Gomorrah, like the days of Noah. Regardless of whether you are rich or poor, you must begin to know definitively that the earth and everything in it will pass away, but the word of God will endure forever!

May God bless you all!
