Almighty God, Christ of the last days, expresses the truth and does His work of judgment to purify and save mankind, and yet He encounters the wild defiance and brutal crackdowns of both the religious world and the Chinese Communist government, where they even mobilize all their media and armed forces to condemn Christ, blaspheme against Him, capture and exterminate Him. When the Lord Jesus was born, King Herod heard that “the King of Israel” had been born and he had all male children killed that were in Bethlehem and under two years of age; he would rather wrongly kill ten thousand babies than let Christ live. God has incarnated to save mankind, so why do the religious world and the atheist government wildly condemn and blaspheme against the appearance and work of God? Why do they bend the power of the whole country and spare no effort to nail Christ to the cross? Why is mankind so evil, and why do they hate God so and set themselves against Him?

Answer:

This question you have raised really is so important and only very few in the whole of mankind can understand it thoroughly! Why mankind defies God so wildly has become headline news, and the historical tragedy of the incarnate Christ being nailed to the cross is being played out again; is this not a fact? Let us read some passages of the Scripture. The Lord Jesus said: “And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that does evil hates the light, neither comes to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved” (Jhn 3:19-20), “If the world hate you, you know that it hated me before it hated you” (Jhn 15:18), “This is an evil generation” (Luk 11:29). The Bible says, “The whole world lies in wickedness” (1Jn 5:19). We didn’t quite understand when we read these words in the Bible previously. Only when we see that both God’s incarnations have suffered the united condemnation, hunting and suppression of atheist governments and the world of religion, however, do we understand that these words within the Bible are indeed true. Mankind’s doings and the attitude they take in their approach to Christ are enough to prove that the entire world is completely under Satan’s control and in its power. Nowadays, most of us can see clearly that most pastors and elders of the world of religion are all people who defy, condemn and deny Christ, and that the world of religion long ago came under the control of these hypocritical Pharisees and antichrists. Therefore, when God incarnate manifests and works, the pastors and elders in the world of religion are the first to rise up and condemn and defy Him—this is inevitable. The CCP government is a satanic regime that most hates the truth and defies God, and it has always arrested and persecuted Christians. When Christ came in the last days to manifest and do His work in China, the CCP government unscrupulously and savagely tried to hunt, intercept and exterminate Christ, causing ripples throughout the entire world. This fact completely has fulfilled the prophecy of the Lord Jesus: “For as the lightning, that lightens out of the one part under heaven, shines to the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day. But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation” (Luk 17:24-25). God has been incarnated twice amongst man to speak and work, to redeem mankind and save mankind, both times suffering the united condemnation, blasphemy, hunting, and suppression carried out by religious leaders and the ruling party; this fact is enough to prove that this world is so dark and evil and that mankind has been corrupted so deeply! Mankind has been corrupted and degenerated to a stage where they have become sick of the truth, they hate the truth, they hold evil in high esteem and they set themselves against God, becoming Satan’s kind and becoming Satan’s progeny, simply unable to tolerate the existence of God. The manifestation and work of God incarnate must therefore inevitably suffer persecution and abandonment. Everyone can see this fact clearly, right? As to why mankind defies God, Almighty God has revealed this aspect of the truth, and we will be clear about this once we have read several passages of the words of Almighty God.
