A Hymn of God's Word "God Will Restore the Former State of Creation" | The Church of Almighty God

I

With His words going deep, God watches the universe.

All creations are made new based on the words of God.

Heaven’s changing, earth is too, man is showing what he really is.

When God created the world, all things were after their kind,

When God’s management is close to the end,

so was everything with a visible form. God will restore things to what they were at the creation.

God’s delighted because of this.

Little by little, step by step, men are sorted to their kind, return to “families” they belong to. There’s nothing that can disturb Him.

God’s great work ends before it’s known. Before all things are aware, they have all been changed. Little by little, step by step, men are sorted to their kind.

God is the Beginning and the End; God is the Sower and the Reaper. God becomes flesh expressly for the purpose of ushering in a new age, and, of course, when He ushers in a new age, He has concluded the former age at the same time.
