全能神教会中文合唱第十一辑

耶和华，耶稣，全能神到底有什么关系呢？

 要想得知這個答案並不難，我們從歷史事實中就可以知道，耶和華作了舊約律法時代的工作，主耶穌作了釘十字架救贖的工作。神拯救人的工作是隨著時代的不同而向前發展的，而神的名也是在每一個時代根據神作工的需要而有的。正如全能神的話說：“ 每一個時代每一步作工，我的名都有代表意義，不是無根無據的，就是每一個名都代表一個時代。“耶和華”代表律法時代，是以色列人對他們所敬拜的神的尊稱；“耶穌”是代表恩典時代，是恩典時代所有的被救贖之人的神的名。”摘自《話在肉身顯現》

兩千年後的今天，神又重返肉身，作了新的工作，帶來了新的時代——國度時代，隨之神的名也根據時代的轉換、作工的需要而更換。全能神的話說：“ 人若在末世仍然盼望救主耶穌降臨，而且還是帶著他在猶太的形像降臨，那麼整個六千年的經營計劃就停留在耶和華，耶穌，全能神是什麽關係？救贖時代，再不能向前​​推移，而且永遠不會有末世來到，也不會結束時代。因為“耶穌救主”只是救贖人類、拯救人類的，我取“耶穌”這個名只是為了恩典時代所有的罪人而有的，並不是為了結束整個人類而有的名。雖然耶和華、耶穌、彌賽亞都是代表我的靈，但這幾個名只是代表我的經營計劃中的不同時代，並不代表我的全部。在地之人所稱呼的我的名，並不能把我的所有性情與所是盡都說透，只是在不同的時代對我有不同的稱呼。因此在末了的時代，就是最後的一個時代來到之時，我的名仍然要改變，不叫耶和華，也不叫耶穌，更不叫彌賽亞，而是稱為大有能力的全能的神自己，以這個名來結束整個時代。”“在律法時代耶和華是神的名；在恩典時代耶穌這個名代表神；在末世，他的名是全能的神，就是全能者，以他的能力來帶領人、征服人、得著人，到最終結束時代。”摘自《話在肉身顯現》

從全能神的話中我們可以看到，神按著他經營計劃的作工步驟，在每一個時代都更換一個名，而他所取的名都將本時代的性情代表出來，也將本時代的工作代表出來。雖然神作工的時代不同，所取的名也不同，卻都是一位神做的。就如一個人，在工廠裡上班時，他的稱呼是一名工人，某一天他到學校裡教書了，他的稱呼變成了一名老師，那你能說因他職業稱呼的不同就不是這個人了嗎？許多人都持守著“天下人間沒有賜下別的名，惟有耶穌是救主”而不顧一切地抵擋、定罪重返肉身的耶穌——全能神，如果是這樣我們不就重蹈恩典時代法利賽人抵擋耶穌的覆轍了嗎？面對今天道成肉身的神再次來在人中間作工，以“全能神”這個名來做征服、拯救、成全人的工作，我們要做謙卑尋求的人，不要隨意論斷神的新工作。正如全能神說：“ 耶穌的再來對於能接受真理的人是一個極大的拯救，對於不能接受真理的人就是被定罪的記號。你們當選擇自己的路，不要做褻瀆聖靈棄絕真理的事，不要做無知狂妄的人，當做順服聖靈引導、渴慕尋求真理的人，這樣對你們才有益處。我勸你們當小心謹慎地走信神的路，不要隨意下斷案，更不要隨隨便便、馬馬虎虎地信神，你們當知道信神的人最起碼具備的是謙和的心與敬畏神的心。那些聽了真理以鼻嗤之的人都是愚昧無知的人，那些聽了真理卻隨便下斷案或定罪的人都是狂妄之輩。作為每一個信耶穌的人都沒有資格咒詛定罪別人，你們都應該做有理智的接受真理的人。或許你聽了真理的道看了生命的言語之後，認為這些話僅僅有萬分之一合乎你的意思、合乎聖經，那你就在這萬分之一的言語中繼續尋求，我還要勸你做謙和的人，不要太自信，不要太自高。在你僅有的一點敬畏神的心之中將獲得更大的亮光，你仔細考察反复揣摩，你就會明白這一句句言語到底是不是真理、是不是生命。或許有的人沒有看幾句話就盲目定罪了，或者說“這無非是一些聖靈開啟罷了”，或者說“這是假基督來迷惑人來了”，能說出這樣話的人簡直是太無知了！你對神的作工、對神的智慧了解得太少了，我勸你還是重新開始吧！你們不要因著末世要有假基督出現而盲目地定罪於神所發表的言語，不要因著怕受迷惑而做褻瀆聖靈的人，這樣豈不太可惜了嗎？若你再三考察之後仍舊認為這些話不是真理、不是道路、不是神的發表，那你就是最終遭受懲罰之人，就是無福之人。這樣的真理說得這麼透亮、說得這麼明白你都接受不了，那你不就是不配蒙神拯救的人嗎？不就是沒有福氣歸回到神寶座之前的人嗎？好好想想吧！不要草率不要魯莽，別把信神的事當作兒戲，應該為自己的歸宿、為自己的前途、為自己的生命著想，不要玩弄自己，這些話你都能接受嗎？”摘自《話在肉身顯現》

The first Finnish entry was Opera Skaala with her hit popera song "*Heart of Light",* which finished in 13th place with 98 points. The second Finnish entry, performed in Sydney was sung by rock group Softengine, who came in 15th place, another midtable place for Finland. Jannika B was chosen to represent her country in the 3rd edition with her song *"Jääkausi",*bringing the Finnish language to the contest for the first time, and finishing in 19th place. However, in the 4th edition in Poland, Finland saw their first big success, with Krista, one of Finland's biggest stars, finishing in 7th place with 135 points: so far Finland's only time in the top 10. However, between the 5th and 8th editions, Finland's results have fallen as Finland became an automatic qualifier, only making the top 20 one time since then when Siru finished in 19th place. In the 9th edition Venior finished in 2nd place; giving Finland their best ever placing. Since then, Finland has placed in the top 10 twice more, with Saara Aalto finishing 10th in the 10th edition and Eini finishing 5th in the 12th edition.

In early editions, Finland usually sung in English, with Jannika B and Robin in editions 3 and 5 being the exceptions, however, since the 7th edition, Finland tends to sing in their own languages (Finnish in editions 7, and since 11) and Swedish in edition 8, with English only being heard in the 9th and 10th editions.

Since the 5th edition, Finnish broadcaster YLE, along with BBC, CBC, SBS and AVROTROS, has been a member of the Instaglobal Council, and because of this enjoys automatic qualification to the final. But this shall change with a change in head of delegation in 18 so Finland will return to the semi finals in 18.
