Till His management work is finished,
God’s work has never ceased, He’s always been busy.
God has never halted, but mankind is different.
Having gained just a little of the Spirit’s work,
he treats it as if it will never change.
Having gained just a little knowledge,
he doesn’t follow God’s footsteps to the newer work.
Knowing a little of God’s work, man can’t help but believe
the way God’s been until now is how He’ll always be.
Having become certain about one stage of the work,
man can’t accept the new work no matter who proclaims it.
These people can’t accept new work.
They are too conservative.
They can’t accept new things.
They believe in God but reject Him.
Only those who follow the footsteps of the Lamb
until the very end can gain the final blessing,
while those who lose their way before they reach the end
yet think they’ve gained everything
are incapable of witnessing the appearance of God.
They cut God’s new work short, without any good reason,
still they’re sure that God will take them up to heaven.
They abide by the Bible, but their words and deeds are foul,
for they are deceitful and do evil, they fight the Spirit’s work.
They can’t keep up with the work of the Holy Spirit.
They cling just to the old work.
They’re not only disloyal, but become God’s opponents
and the ones who will be punished.
Are there any more pitiful than them?
Only those who follow the footsteps of the Lamb
until the very end can gain the final blessing,
while those who lose their way before they reach the end
yet think they’ve gained everything
are incapable of witnessing the appearance of God.
