A Hymn of God’s Words
The Significance of the Appearance of God
I
God’s appearance signifies
His arrival on earth to do His work.
With His own identity,
disposition, method,
He comes to initiate and end an age.
His appearance isn’t a ceremony,
or a sign, picture,
miracle or grand vision,
much less a religious process,
but it’s a real fact
to touch and behold.
It’s not just for following a process
or for a short-term undertaking,
but instead is for a stage of work
in His management plan.
This work starts a new age,
and ends the old one.
It’s an improved form of work
for man’s salvation.
It brings man into a whole new age.
This is the significance
of God’s appearance.
II
God’s appearance is always meaningful
and connected to His management plan.
It’s different from His appearance
when He guides,
and leads and enlightens man.
This work starts a new age,
and ends the old one.
It’s an improved form of work
for man’s salvation.
It brings man into a whole new age.
This is the significance
of God’s appearance.
III
God carries out a stage
of His great work
each time He reveals Himself.
It differs from His works in other ages.
It’s undreamed of,
a new experience for man.
This work starts a new age,
and ends the old one.
It’s an improved form of work
for man’s salvation.
It brings man into a whole new age.
This is the significance
of God’s appearance.
