하나님이 행하신 일을 지나고 나서 후에 보면,
그때 열심히 하나님 뜻을 이루며 행할 자를 키우고 계셨음을 알게 된다.
그래도 그때는 몰랐다.
일부러 숨기고 하셨다.
사람이 완성되면 그때야 알고 기뻐한다.
When you look back on the work that God has done after time has passed, you will come to know that at that time, He was raising the one who would diligently take action and fulfill His will.
However, they did not know back then.
[God] did it deliberately in secrecy.
Only when a person is completely [made] will they finally know at that time and rejoice.

하나님 일은 하면서도 모르는 것이 너무도 많다.
신과 사람은 언제나 그러하다.
Even while taking action on God’s work, there are so many things that [people] do not know.
It is always like this between the Divine Being and human beings.

하나님이 떳떳이 하셨어도 못 깨닫고 살았다.
하나님이 까놓고 하셔도
지능이 낮은 인간은 모르니 숨겼다고 한다.
너무나 크게 하시니 깨닫지 못했던 것이다.
아예 일획도 깨닫지 못했다.
Even when God did something openly, human beings lived without realizing it.
Even when God took action out in the open, laying it bare, they said God hid it because they had low intelligence and did not know.
They failed to realize because [God’s] work was being done on such a grand scale.
They could not realize even a single stroke [of what He did].

하나님의 대목적을 이루실 때에는 은밀히 숨기고 행하시다가,
같이한 자들에게는 때를 따라 점점 밝히시기도 한다.
지금도 하나님은 하나님의 목적을 위해서 행하고 계신다.
행하자.
그럼 후에 깨닫고 보람을 누리며 산다.
When God is fulfilling His great purpose, He works discreetly in secrecy, and at times, He reveals it gradually according to the time to those who have been with Him.
Even now, God is taking action for His purpose.
Let’s take action.
Then later, [you] will realize and live enjoying gratification.

지난날 우리는 희망하고 행하면서도
‘정말 조금이라도 잘될까?’ 하고 생각하며
실상은 오늘날 이같이 될 것을 생각도 못 했다.
앞으로도 그러하다.
그러니 희망으로 힘 있게 행하자.
In the past, even as we took action with hope, we wondered, “Will things really turn out well, even a little?”
In reality, we could not imagine that we would become like this today.
The same is true in the future.
Therefore, let’s take action with strength and with hope.
