The evidence of the last day

The evidence of the last day IN Taiwan, a girl knew God by accident. She was so fond of hearing God’s gospel that she often went to church to hear pastors’ sermons. By doing so, she hoped she could get much closer to God. A pastor once preached the sermon on “The Last Day” and it was all about a variety of prophecies, shown signs and how God had been admonishing people in this world that the last day is approaching. This girl could hardly come into understanding what the pastor said; even worse, she felt shocked and puzzled greatly because she just came to God for a short while and it was the first time for her to hear about the message regarding “The Last Day”. She wondered “Is that really true? Are human beings about to confront God’s judgment?” She was so eager to know about “The Last Day” that she got started to pray to God with all her heart, asking God to let her understand what “The Last Day” is all about and how the judgment mankind will confront is like. She firmly believed that God would tell her or reveal her. For several consecutive days, she kept praying to ask God to clarify the puzzlement in her mind. One midnight, while she was having dreams, all of a sudden a clear voice came to her: “68 for sure, 68 for sure, 68 for sure.” The words are spoken for three consecutive times and the girl knew it was God who imparted

this revelation to her; however, she was born from a poor family and she was not that educated so that she could not understand what “68 for sure” really meant. All she could do was to keep praying and ask God to let her understand the contents of this revelation more. Two more days passed away, while she was praying, in the air the exactly same voice came to her, clearly saying “Open your Bible.” No sooner had she heard such a clear revelation than she rushed to open her Bible to page 68 (the Chinese Bible). All she could see was that it is clearly written: (Some parts of the contents in page 68 of Chinese Bible go as follows.)

Get started from Mark 13:15 13:15 And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house: 13:16 And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment. 13:17 But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! 13:18 And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter. 13:19 For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be. 13:20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days. 13:21 And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:

13:22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect. 13:23 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things. 13:24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, 13:25 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken. 13:2 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. 13:27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven. 13:28 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near: 13:29 So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors. 13:30 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done. 13:31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. 13:32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. 13:33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. 13:34 For the Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. 13:35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house

cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: 13:36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. 13:37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

This girl felt much touched on account of the revelation God imparted to her. She knew this was God’s feedback to her; that is, God answered her plea. From then on, she was getting more devoted to God and she believed in God was more firmly. However, she didn’t know she should share this testimony with others to make more people hear the gospel and receive God’s salvation. She’d just been bearing it in her mind and on her guard all the time that she should trust in God and by no means leave God. Two years passed by, there was a Malaysian pastor coming to Taiwan to preach the gospel. This girl headed to listening to his sermons. As soon as the pastor saw her, he asked her: “How come you didn’t speak out God’s revelation for you to be God’s witness?” This girl could grasp what the pastor meant on the spot. After going home, she meditated on this for a long time and it suddenly dawned on her that what the pastor indicated was the revelation that she’d asked God about “The Last Day” and that God wanted her to delve into page 68 in the Bible. She’s just not known she should be God’s witness so that she never mentioned it. Later, this girl worked for Ploughman Association by chance. Ploughman Association is right specialized in studying about “The Last Day.” The girl came to understand this coincidence is God’s arrangement for her. Therefore, she began dedicating herself to all sorts of ministries in Ploughman Association and learning how

6


The evidence of the last day

to be God’s witness. Owing to her understanding about “The Last Day”, she kept spreading various information concerning “The Last Day”, hoping that through God’s revelation for her, people in this world could understand the last day is approaching, there’ll be a judgment after death, and people can receive God’s salvation through believing God. The girl’s testimony mentioned above testifies God’s revelation. 1. Through all Bible verses, only the verses of the phenomena and revelation about the last day written and illustrated in Make 13: 15~37; namely, page 68 were the most clear. There is no other clarifying chapters or verses like this. 2. While God was revealing to her, He said “68 for sure, 68 for sure, 68 for sure.” For three consecutive times. Why God didn’t say one time, two times, four times? Why he said three times instead? It’s because “three” is God’ s number for completion. There are a lot of illustrations of God’s three-time revelations written in the Bible. 3. Not until did the Malaysian pastor come to Taiwan to preach the gospel, saying “How come you didn’t mention what God revealed to you?” that it dawned on her after long meditation that what the pastor indicated was that God revealed “68 for sure” to her two years ago. She just didn’t know she should be God’s witness, so she didn’t mention it to people. Is that an coincidence? On no account is a coincidence. It’s God that imparted this revelation to this Malaysian pastor. Through him, people who have received God’s revelation are reminded to be God’s witnesses.

4. There are one hundred thousands of companies in Taiwan, but the girl just came to this group, Ploughman Association, which specializes in studying “The Last Day”, to work for. Dear readers, do you think it’s amazing? Not at all is this coincidence just a coincidence. It’s God’s arrangement! It’s God’s will. 5. Why didn’t so many pastors. Leaders and doctors receive God’s revelation like this? Instead, why did God impart this revelation to this ordinary girl? According to our tracing back and understanding, in order to believe in God, this sister can’t acquire her families’ recognition and consideration and she was even persecuted to give up this faith by her families. To be able to continue believing in God, she could but leave home temporarily so God rewarded her with this revelation, just as it is written in the Bible: “ The Last Day is revealed to the little and worthless, but is hidden from the wise and learned. 6. Why did God use her? To insist on the faith, this girl was forced to leave home, as it is written: “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for there is the kingdom of heaven.” * Only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven (Matthew 7:21~27) "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!' Dear friends, getting into the kingdom of
