The Origin and Development of the Church of Almighty God
How God Opens the Age of the Kingdom
In the Age of the Grace, the Lord Jesus once promised, I will come again. In the end time, eeping the Lord Jesus! promise I will come again, God is incarnated once again and decends in "hina, carr#ing out a wor of $udgment and chastisement and con%uering and sal&ation with the word. 'his has full# fulfilled the prophecies in the (i)le, Judgment )egins with God!s household, and *hoe&er has ears, let them hear what the +pirit sa#s to the churches. God!s end,time wor ends the Age of the Grace and opens the Age of the Kingdom. Almight# God!s end,time wor spreads %uicl# in "hina, so the "hurch of Almight# God comes into )eing. -acts pro&e that the "hurch of Almight# God comes into )eing completel# due to God!s end,time wor and it isn!t esta)lished )# an# person. God!s chosen people of the "hurch of Almight# God pra# in Almight# God!s name, accept all the truths e.pressed )# Almight# God, and o)e# Almight# God!s wor. 'herefore, the One that God!s chosen people of the "hurch of Almight# God )elie&e in is the "hrist who is incarnated in the end time, the practical God who is God!s +pirit reali/ed in the flesh, not a person. In 0110, the end,time "hrist2Almight# God, who is incarnated, )egan to formall# perform his ministr# in "hina. He has e.pressed millions of words and started the wor of $udgment )efore the great white throne in the end time. Just as Almight# God sa#s, The work of judgment is Gods own work. Of course it has to !e done !y God personally. This work cannot !e done !y man instead. "ecause judgment is to con#uer mankind with the truth it is un#uestiona!le that God still appears among men in his incarnate image to do this work. That is to say the end$time Christ will teach people of every place with the truth and speak all the truths to them. This is Gods work of judgment. 3from "hrist 4oes the *or of Judgment with the 'ruth in The Word Appears in the Flesh 5 God does the work of the word in the end time and this word is the word of the %oly &pirit. This is !ecause God is the %oly &pirit and God can also !e incarnated. &o the word of the %oly &pirit which was spoken of !efore is the word of the incarnated God of today. ' (or God to do his work !y speaking and uttering his voice he has to !e incarnated. Otherwise his work cannot achieve its purpose. 3from How "ould 'hose *ho "ircumscri)e God *ithin 'heir 67otions! 8ecei&e God!s 68e&elation!9 in The Word Appears in the Flesh5 (ecause the end,time "hrist appears and utters his &oice and speas, more and more people who thirst for and see the truth are con%uered and purified )# Almight# God!s word, seeing God!s appearing in God!s $udgment and chastisement and seeing the returning of the 8edeemer. 'he "hurch of Almight# God came into )eing )ecause of the returned Lord Jesus2the end,time "hrist, Almight# God!s appearing and wor, and also under Almight# God!s righteous $udgment and chastisement. It is constituted of all those who genuinel# accept Almight# God!s end,time wor and are con%uered and sa&ed )# God!s word. It is completel# esta)lished )# Almight# God personall# and shepherded and led )# Almight# God personall#, and it a)solutel# cannot )e set up )# an# man. 'his is a fact acnowledged )# all the chosen people in the "hurch of Almight# God. (ecause of the appearing and wor of God incarnate, all those who are con%uered )# Almight# God!s word )ecome su)$ect under Almight# God!s name. 'herefore, all the chosen people of the "hurch of Almight# God pra# to Almight# God, follow Almight# God, o)e# Almight# God, and worship Almight# God. 'he chosen people in "hina ha&e e.perienced God!s wor of $udgment and chastisement, tasted God!s righteous disposition, and seen God!s ma$est# and wrath, and the# ha&e )een completel# con%uered )# God!s word and fallen down )efore Almight# God, )eing willing to o)e# and accept the $udgment and chastisement of God!s word. 'he result of their )eing sa&ed )# God has )een achie&ed. Just )ecause the words e.pressed )# Almight# God disclose the m#steries of God!s management plan to sa&e manind, God!s chosen people, in the disclosing of God!s words, come to understand that God has a new name in each age, God!s new name is the s#m)ol of his doing a new wor and e&en more the s#m)ol of his ending the old age and opening a new age, and the meaning of God!s name is &er# great and &er# deep, which contains the meaning of God!s wor. 'he name of Almight# God in the Age of the Kingdom completel# fulfills the word in 8e&elation in the (i)le, Hol#, hol#, hol# is the Lord God Almight#, who was, and is, and is to come 38e&elation :;<5. God is the almight# God, God is the God who created all things and who rules o&er all things, and God is the -irst and the Last. *e thought it most appropriate to call God Almight# God. 'hence, people called the incarnated God Almight# God and also called the incarnated "hrist =ractical God. And thus the "hurch of Almight# God came into )eing. *hen the ingdom gospel was spread in >ainland "hina, God too )ac all the woring of the +pirit from the entire uni&erse and focused it on this group of people who accepted God!s end,time wor and on those who were predestined and chosen )# God and sincerel# sought the true wa#. (ecause the woring of the Hol# +pirit was transferred, all denominations and sects lost the woring of the Hol# +pirit and )ecame a wasteland, and people were forced to see the true wa#. 'his has e.actl# fulfilled the prophec# in the (i)le, 6'he da#s are coming,! declares the +o&ereign LO84, 6when I will send a famine through the land2not a famine of food or a thirst for water, )ut a famine of hearing the words of the LO84! 3Amos <;005. ?nder the guidance of the Hol# +pirit, those in &arious denominations and sects who pursued the truth and trul# )elie&ed in God )roe through the restriction and hindrance of the antichrists and the wiced ser&ants and finall# heard God!s &oice and recogni/ed God!s &oice, and more and more people returned )efore God!s throne. 'he pleasant scene of all denominations )eing reunited into one and all peoples streaming to this mountain has appeared in e&er# place. As those who trul# )elie&ed in God in all denominations and sects returned in large num)ers, most of the denominations and sects ha&e long disintegrated and e.isted in name onl#. *ho could stop the footsteps of God!s wor9 *ho could hinder God!s chosen people from returning to God9 'he entire religious world seemed to ha&e )een cleared up. 'he stream of returning was lie surging wa&es. God!s wor couldn!t )e hindered )# an# force@ +ince Almight# God appeared to wor, the ""= go&ernment has )egun to franticall# resist and cruell# persecute, attempting to a)olish God!s end, time wor, and the# ha&e ne&er stopped persecuting the "hurch of Almight# God. 'he# called emergenc# meetings man# times to discuss how to a)olish the "hurch of Almight# God. 'he# drew up and issued man# secret documents and carried out &arious inds of )ase and dia)olic conspiracies and schemes; putting up notices e&er#where, using the &illage )roadcast as means of ad&erse propaganda, and issuing announcementsA fa)ricating rumors to decei&e and slandering and framingA forci)l# instilling e&il teachings and fallacies and implementing )rainwash and assimilationA sending spies and in&estigating openl# and in%uiring secretl#A controlling through the grass roots, ordering the neigh)ors to watch, going into houses willfull# to search, and maing use of the 'hree,+elf sect to o&ersee and controlA arresting secretl#, interrogating )# cruel tortures, afflicting ph#sicall#, damaging )od# and mind, and )eating to death without )earing an# responsi)ilit#A and so on. It inhumanl# arrested and persecuted God!s chosen people, causing man# deaths. Its e&il doings are a)omina)le. 7ow, more than ten cases of the "hristians )eing persecuted to death are documented; Bie Cong$iang 3male, :D,#ear,old5, a "hristian of *ugou 'own, +ui.i "ount#, Anhui =ro&ince, was secretl# arrested )# the local police on April DEth, 011F and persecuted to death. On >a# Gnd, when Bie!s famil# saw his )od# at the crematorium, he was )lac and purple all o&er, stained with )lood, with se&eral fatal wounds on his head. Ce Ai/hong 3male, :G,#ear,old5, a "hristian of +hu#ang "ount#, Jiangsu =ro&ince, was arrested )# the ""= policemen while purchasing goods for the "hurch on >arch GHth, GE0G, and was )eaten to death on the third da#.

'he policemen set up an illegal court and interrogated her through cruel tortures. In the earl# morning on -e)ruar# 0Gth, Jiang was tortured to death )# themJ.

According to rough statistics, from GE00 to GE0D, within $ust two #ears, D<E,D<E of God!s chosen people were arrested and detained )# the ""= go&ernment in >ainland "hina.

'he statistics here are onl# the tip of the ice)erg of the ""= go&ernment!s arresting and persecuting the "hristians of the "hurch of Almight# God. In fact, since Almight# God )egan to wor, num)erless "hristians of the "hurch of Almight# God ha&e )een arrested, persecuted, shadowed, or monitored )# the ""= go&ernment. 'he ""= go&ernment uses e&er# possi)le cruel means to )loodil# suppress the "hurch of Almight# God, turning >ainland "hina into a world of terror. Additionall#, there were the slanders, condemnations, and attacs from all denominations and sects. -or a moment there was ali&e with rumors. A &ariet# of slanders, a)uses, and curses flew e&er#where. All inds of ad&erse pu)licit# filled the entire societ# and religious world. 'he corrupt manind has resisted the true God and persecuted the true wa# to the utmost e.tent. +ince manind was corrupted )# satan, God has ne&er stopped his management plan of sa&ing manind. Howe&er, )ecause manind doesn!t now the truth, much less now God, e&er# time when God is incarnated to start a new wor, he is re$ected and persecuted )# those in power and the religious world. 'wo thousand #ears ago, when Jesus was incarnated, he was persecuted and arrested )# the 8oman go&ernment and the Jewish religious world, and in the end he was crucified. In the end time, since God returned in the flesh in "hina to do the $udgment wor, God has )een undergoing the cruel persecution and hunting of the "hinese go&ernment, and also the curse, framing, condemnation, and re$ection of all denominations and sects of the "hristianit#. -rom them we can see clearl# man!s corruption and e&il. *e can imagine how hard it is for God to carr# out his wor in such a fortress of demons where )lac clouds weigh hea&il# and the de&ils rule. 7e&ertheless, God is almight#, and he has the supreme authorit# and power. 7o matter how sa&age and aggressi&e satan!s force is and how it resists and launches attacs, it!s in &ain. Just in a)out GE #ears, Almight# God!s ingdom gospel has )een spread to the entire >ainland "hina under se&ere oppression. A few hundred thousands of churches were )uilt in the whole countr# in succession, $ust lie the )am)oo shoots after a spring rain. +e&eral million people came under the name of Almight# God. And all denominations and sects turned desolate in a moment. 'his is )ecause God!s sheep heard God!s &oice, and the# ha&e long come )ac following the &oice, fallen down )efore God, and recei&ed God!s personal watering and shepherding. 'hose false )elie&ers who )elie&e in God $ust to eat the )read and )e filled and those &arious enemies who do e&il and resist and condemn Almight# God ha&e all )een eliminated )# God!s wor. 'he whole religious world has )een destro#ed and disintegrated )# God!s wor. Almight# God!s wor has finall# ended with glor#. In this period, although the ""= go&ernment resists franticall# and suppresses )loodil#, God!s ingdom gospel still spreads fast lie a thunder)olt. 'he ""=!s plot of eliminating and a)olishing God!s wor ends up with failure. All the e&il forces that resist God are destro#ed and )roen down in God!s ma$estic and wrathful $udgment. Just as Almight# God sa#s, All those ) love will surely e*ist forever and all those who resist me will surely !e chastised !y me forever !ecause ) am a jealous God and will not lightly let go any doings of anyone. ) will search the whole earth and will appear as righteousness majesty wrath and chastisement in the +ast of the world appearing to all men, 3from 'he 'went#,si.th =iece of *ord in God!s ?tterance to the Lntire ?ni&erse of The Word Appears in the Flesh5 -y kingdom takes shape in the entire universe and my throne occupies the hearts of hundreds of millions of people. "ecause of the cooperation of the angels my work will soon !e crowned with success.

'he last "hrist!s e.pression2God!s word has long )een spread to e&er# famil#, and it is accepted )# more and more people. God!s word has manifested supreme authorit# and power. 'his ironclad fact full# pro&es that The /ord Accomplishes +verything, )n the !eginning was the /ord and the /ord was with God and the /ord was God.

In the end time, God still accomplishes e&er#thing with the word. -or God!s chosen people to )e perfected and for "hrist!s ingdom to )e reali/ed, it will )oth )e achie&ed )# God!s word. 'herefore, without e.ception the "hurch of Almight# God originated from the woring of God!s word, de&eloped under the leading of Almight# God!s word, and e&en more grew under the ""= go&ernment!s )rutal persecution. In other words, without Almight# God!s appearing and woring, there isn!t the "hurch of Almight# GodA without the words e.pressed )# God, there isn!t the "hurch of Almight# God.
