God’s Glory Shines From the East

I
Only when I pass into
the new heaven and earth
do I take the other part of My glory
and reveal it first in the land of Canaan,
causing a glimmer of light to shine forth
across the whole pitch-dark earth.
This is so that the whole earth
may come to the light.
It’s so that men all over the earth
may come to draw on the power of the light,
allowing My glory to increase further
and appear anew to each nation,
and that all humanity may realize
that I have long ago come to the human world
and long ago brought My glory
from Israel to the East,
for My glory shines from the East
and it was brought over
from the Age of Grace to this day.
But it was from Israel that I departed
and from there that I arrived in the East.
II
Only when the light of the East
gradually turns white
will the darkness across the earth
start to turn to light,
and only then will man find out
that I have long ago gone from Israel
and am rising anew in the East.
It could not be the case that I,
having once descended into Israel
and later departed from it,
would once again be born into Israel,
because My work leads all of the universe
and, what is more,
the lightning comes from the East
and flashes all the way to the West.
For this reason I have descended in the East
and brought Canaan
to My chosen people in the East.
III
I shall bring My chosen people
from all over the earth to the land of Canaan,
and so I continue to issue forth utterances
in the land of Canaan
to control the whole universe.
At this time, there’s no light in all the earth.
Apart from those in Canaan,
all men are imperiled by hunger and cold.
At this time, there’s no light in all the earth.
Apart from those in Canaan,
all men are imperiled by hunger and cold.
