The Hymn of Almighty God's Word | The Significance of God’s Name


The Hymn of Almighty God's Word | The Significance of God's Name
In each and every age,
in each stage of His work,
God's name has carried weight.
God's name hasn't rung empty.
His every name reflects an age.
I
Jehovah, Jesus, and the Messiah
all represent the Spirit of God.
Yet these names just represent
the ages in God's management,
but not His entirety.
The names people on earth call God
can't express His entire disposition,
can't express all that He is.
They are just God's names
in different ages.
And so, when the final age—
the age of the last days—arrives,
God's name will change once more.
He won't be called Jehovah nor Jesus,
much less the Messiah.
He will be called
the powerful and almighty God.
And with this name
He will end the age.
II
God was once known as Jehovah.
He was also called the Messiah.
And out of love and respect,
people used to call Him
Jesus the Savior.
Today God is not Jehovah nor Jesus,
whom people knew in the past.
He is the God who's returned
in the last days,
the God who will end this age.
Replete with His entire disposition,
full of authority, honor and glory,
He is the God, the God Himself,
He is the God Himself
who rises up at the ends of the earth.
He is the God
who rises at the ends of the earth.
III
People have
never been in touch with God.
They have never really known Him,
or understood His disposition.
From the creation
of the world till now,
no one has ever seen God.
This is the God
who appears in the last days to man.
This is the God who's also hidden,
who is also hidden among man.
He resides among man,
living and real.
He is like the blazing Sun,
and the searing flame.
He is brimming with might
and authority.
He is brimming with might
and authority.
Not a single person or thing
will escape the judgment of His word.
Not a single person or thing
will evade being cleansed
in the flames.
IV
At last, all nations of the world
will be blessed by God's words,
and will be crushed by them as well.
So people of the last days will see
that God the Savior has returned.
He is the powerful Almighty God
that conquers all of mankind.
He'll make people see
He once was man's sin offering.
But in the last days,
He is the fire of the sun,
which burns all things.
And He is the sun of righteousness
that reveals all things.
This is the work of God
in the last days.
This is God's work.
V
The reason God took on this name,
on this name and disposition
is to make man see
that He is a righteous God,
that He is a righteous God.
He is the sun, the blazing sun.
He is the flame, the searing flame.
So all of mankind will worship Him,
the one true God.
And they, they will see His true face:
He is not only the Redeemer.
He is not only the God of
the Israelites.
But He is the God of all creations
on earth and in the heavens or seas.
