CenSAMM Symposium The Millennium: A Mystery No More

CenSAMM Symposium The Millennium: A Mystery No More

From June 28-29, 2018, at the Panacea Museum Gardens in Bedford, UK, the Centre for the Critical Study of Apocalyptic and Millenarian Movements (CenSAMM) held a symposium about apocalyptic literature, the final disaster, and the Millennium. The event was attended by such renowned religious experts and scholars as Christopher Rowland, Dean Ireland’s Emeritus Professor of the Exegesis of Holy Scripture, University of Oxford, Massimo Introvigne, Managing Director of CESNUR, the Center for Studies on New Religions in Italy, and Matthew Askey, a priest serving at Southwell Minster Cathedra in Nottinghamshire. During the symposium, Professor Introvigne gave a lecture entitled “Filming the Age of Kingdom”. Partly based on The Church of Almighty God musical Human Beings Have Regained the Sanctity They Once Possessed, this stimulating and refreshing lecture provided a clear interpretation of the appearance of the Millennial Kingdom (the Millennium).

Recent years have seen increasingly severe disasters occurring across the globe. The world is becoming ever more chaotic, visions have appeared in the stars, and the prophecies of the Bible are all starting to come true. People have a sense of impending disaster, and some cannot help asking: Will the final disaster destroy the earth? Where will the Millennium appear? And who will be allowed to enter? During the symposium, internationally-renowned religious scholar Professor Introvigne communicated the mystery revealed by Christ of the last days, Almighty God: The Millennial Kingdom (the Kingdom of Christ prophesized in the Book of Revelation of the Bible) will appear on earth following the great catastrophe. For us, all mankind, this is great news!

The Relationship Between Each of the Three Stages of God’s Work

Relevant Words of God:

From the work of Jehovah to that of Jesus, and from the work of Jesus to that of this current stage, these three stages cover in a continuous thread the entire gamut of God’s management, and are all the work of one Spirit. Since the creation of the world, God has always been at work managing mankind. He is the Beginning and the End, He is the First and the Last, and He is the One who begins an age and the One who brings the age to an end. The three stages of work, in different ages and different locations, are unmistakably the work of one Spirit. All those who separate these three stages stand in opposition to God.

Chengxin, Brazil

By a chance opportunity in 2011, I came to Brazil from China. When I had just arrived, my eyes were overflowing with fresh and new experiences, curiosity, and I had a beautiful feeling about the future. But after a short time, this fresh and new feeling was quickly replaced by the loneliness and pain of finding myself in a far-off foreign land. Every day I went back home all alone, ate by myself, looking at the walls around me every day without anyone even to talk to, and I felt especially lonely in my heart, often crying all alone. When I felt the most pain and helpless, the Lord Jesus brought me into a gathering by means of a friend.

Gospel Movie "Break Through the Snare" - Why the Chinese Communist Party Persecutes The Church of Almighty God

Gospel Movie "Break Through the Snare" - Why the Chinese Communist Party Persecutes The Church of Almighty God

The Chinese Communist Party is a satanic regime that truly hates the truth and God. It knows that Almighty God is the only entity in the world that can express the truth. Almighty God is in the process of doing the salvation work of the last days. If the word of Almighty God is spread amongst the people, all those who love the truth will return to Almighty God. The devilish face of the Chinese Communist Party, its true face, which hates the truth and resists God will be exposed. Then the entire human race will forsake the Chinese Communist Party. It will no longer have a foothold in China. It will also no longer be able to corrupt and trap the world's citizens. This is why the Chinese Communist Party hates Almighty God and frantically persecutes The Church of Almighty God.

In May 1990, I accepted Jesus in the Three-Self sect because of illness. In 1993, I turned to the Church of Truth and later became a junior leader there.

In July 1999, our church leader told us at a meeting, “In recent years, a biggest ‘heresy,’ ‘cult,’ called ‘Eastern Lightning,’ has appeared in mainland China. They preach that God has come, and as a female. The spirit in them is very powerful. Once you talk with them, it will enter into you, and you will be controlled by them in spite of yourself and do whatever they say. … Co-workers, brothers, and sisters, none of you should come into contact with the people of ‘Eastern Lightning,’ nor receive them, lest you share in their sins….” Hearing the leader’s words, I firmly believed that “Eastern Lightning” was a “heresy,” a “cult.” And I thought, “This has fulfilled the words in the Bible. The end time has arrived, and false christs have appeared.” So, I made an inward resolution: I must be watchful and prepare myself, and even more, I must keep a good guard over the brothers and sisters so that no one will be taken captive by “Eastern Lightning.” Otherwise, I won’t be able to give an account to the Lord.

Are Paul’s words recorded in the Bible inspired by God? Do they represent God’s word? This film clip will solve your puzzles!

Storyline:

Fan Guoyi was an elder of a house church in China. In his over twenty years of service, he always emulated Paul, sacrificing for the Lord zealously and working hard. He firmly believed that he was doing the will of the heavenly Father by pursuing that way and he would surely be raptured to the kingdom of heaven at the return of the Lord. However, when Almighty God’s salvation of the last days came upon him, he clung to his notions, rejecting, resisting, and condemning it time and time again…. Later, after several debates with the preachers from the Church of Almighty God, Fan Guoyi finally woke up. He truly understood the meaning of doing the will of the heavenly Father and the way of pursuing to be saved and enter the kingdom of heaven….

I was formerly a co-worker of the Shouters. At a co-workers’ meeting in March 1996, our leader specially emphasized this: “A group of people are preaching ‘the queen of the south’ now. They go everywhere to steal the sheep from the churches. You must guard the church well and watch over the flock.” After I came back from the meeting, I immediately called together the local workers and told them of the “important” meeting content. From that time, I was on the alert, guarding against at every time the strangers who might come to steal the sheep.

I used to be a leader of the preaching group of the “Praise Church.” As I was good at preaching and singing, was equipped with a great deal of biblical knowledge, and had the gift of “healing the sick and driving out demons,” the brothers and sisters looked up to me very much. In February of 1997, at a co-workers’ meeting, the pastor told us, “Now, there has arisen a sect called the ‘Eastern Lightning.’ They claim that God has done a new work, believers needn’t read the Bible anymore, and the Lord Jesus’ name has changed to Almighty God. They are deluding the Lord’s lambs everywhere. If you join them, you cannot possibly get out.

—A Repentance Before the Coffin

I turned my face outward and saw that my coffin and shroud were there ready-made. When the moment I slipped my breath came, I would be put into them. Despair and loneliness welled up in me all at once. “I’m done! I’m done! I’m only in my forties. I’m very unwilling to die like this!” I looked out the window to the blue sky, tears wetting my pillow… Just at the moment I was at my last gasp and was dying, Almighty God stretched out His loving hands to me and conquered me by His powerful and authoritative words, so that I was revived in mind and body and gained a new life. Facing God’s great grace, I bitterly hated myself for grievous disobedience and great resistance. Thousands of words couldn’t express my great indebtedness to God. Thank Almighty God for giving me this opportunity to tell my personal experience of how I resisted God, suffered God’s punishment, and received God’s salvation. I hope all brothers and sisters will learn a lesson from it and not follow my footsteps…

I was formerly a co-worker of the “Justification by Faith Church.” In the spring of 1999, the elder warned us at a co-workers’ meeting, “Now there is a sect called the ‘Eastern Lightning.’ It preaches that the Lord has come to China to work. It’s impossible at all! Zechariah 14:4 says, ‘And his feet shall stand in that day on the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east.’ So it’s exactly a heresy, a deceptive, false way! It’s said that they will be paid 2,000 yuan for converting a co-worker and 300 yuan for a common believer. So, never receive them, or the consequences will be disastrous! …” After hearing what the elder said, I hated and also feared the “Eastern Lightning.” At the same time, I rejected it in my heart, “China is an atheistic country. God will absolutely not come to China to work!” So, I came back in a hurry and conveyed the elder’s words to the brothers and sisters. I also instructed them not to receive strangers lest they be deceived by the “Eastern Lightning” followers. From then on, I embarked on the evil way of resisting God.

I was formerly a co-worker in the “Praise Church.” After turning to the Lord Jesus in 1988, I pursued zealously. Whenever something happened in the church, I would run in front. Gradually I won a good reputation of being an “Old Faithful.” However, I, an “Old Faithful,” became a thorough antichrist when God’s salvation of the last days came upon me. Whenever I think of that, I feel extremely ashamed and remorseful…

In 1990, my wife and I found grace in the sight of the Lord and returned to Him. We both pursued hard, and a year later, I was selected as a co-worker in the Family Church of the Truth. Starting from April 2001, there were people preaching God’s work of the last days to me. In more than two years, those who preached the new work preached to me numerous times. But I rejected them all, for I had long heard from the leaders above that they believed in a “heresy,” a “cult,” and were a group of gangsters. I hated them to the bones, and resolutely refused to accept their way no matter what they said. And I went to the meeting places with other brothers to distribute adverse materials.

Ay … here is a sky,

oh … a sky that is so different!

An exquisite fragrance is suffused all over the land, and the air is clean.

Almighty God became flesh and lives amongst us,

expressing the truth and beginning the judgment of the last days.

God’s words lay bare the truth of our corruption,

we are cleansed and perfected by every kind of trial and refinement.

We say farewell to our degenerate life and change our old appearance for a new face.

We act and speak with principle and allow God’s words to hold sway.

The flames of our love for God are ignited in our hearts.

We spread God’s words, bear witness for Him, and transmit the kingdom gospel.

We dedicate our entire being to satisfy God and are willing to suffer any pain.

Thanks be to Almighty God for changing our fate.

We live a new life and welcome a brand new tomorrow!
