Only those who receive God, no matter how He comes, can enter the kingdom of heaven. We must know how God appears so that we can receive Him. This means that those who claim to believe in God will fail to recognize and receive Him when He comes to this earth. The prophet Isaiah prophesied that God would be a stone that causes men to stumble and a rock that makes them fall and would also a trap and a snare for houses of Israel and for the people of Jerusalem, that is, for the people who believe in God. Many of them will stumble they will fall and be broken, they will be snared and captured.” Isa 8:13-15 ![]() And for the people of Jerusalem he will be a trap and a snare. “The Lord Almighty is the one you are to regard as holy, he is the one you are to fear, he is the one you are to dread, and he will be a sanctuary but for both houses of Israel he will be a stone that causes men to stumble and a rock that makes them fall.

Long time ago, when God spoke from Mount Sinai, the Israelites trembled for fear as they heard the voice of God, and asked Moses to speak to them himself and not have God speak to them. In the same way, God came to this earth as a man just like one of us, hiding His splendid glory and power in the flesh. But if he did so, the local officials would recognize him and act hypocritically, and it would be difficult to observe the realities of people’s lives. His social status was so high that he could ride in a royal carriage, accompanied by many guards. In order to detect whether officials were faithfully carrying out the will of the king or they were abusing and plundering the people, the secret royal inspector disguised himself in humble clothes, wearing a crumpled hat, a dirty robe and tattered shoes. Under the centralized system, a secret royal inspector was dispatched in secret by royal command to travel the countryside to check on local government officials and take appropriate administrative and judicial action to relieve the grievances of the people. ![]() God who comes in secretĭuring the Joseon Dynasty of Korea, there was the Secret Royal Inspector (called Amhaengosa) system. Then, how can we recognize God who appears in a totally different way than most people expect? Let’s take some time to understand God’s will for us by studying the history of the Bible.
