    The Mystery of God

    The bible is the book that contains the mystery of God, which is hidden in the bible as parables. Since it is written in the parables, it is not easy to recognize or understand the mystery of God in the bible. However, we have to know the mystery for at least two reasons. First, one does not hide what is not important. Likewise, the mystery of God is something important to God and us, and we have to know about it for our salvation. Second, everything hidden has an appointed time to be revealed. Likewise, the mystery of God has its own appointed time to be revealed.

    Luke 8:17 For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open.

    The Disclosure of The Mystery of God

    The fact that God hid something as mystery shows that it has its own appointed time to be revealed. Therefore, when the time comes we have to know the mystery of God.

    Revelation 10:7 But in the days when the seventh angel is about to sound his trumpet, the mystery of God will be accomplished, just as he announced to his servants the prophets.”

    The mystery of God is a prophecy given to the prophets and they are recorded in the bible as prophecies. When the appointed time for the fulfillment of the prophecy comes, the mystery of God will be accomplished or in other words “revealed”. And at that time we can know what the mystery of God is.

    What is the Mystery of God?

    Then what is the mystery of God hidden in the bible? What did God want to hide until the appointed time? Let us find out what the mystery of God is.

    Colossians 1:27 To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

    Colossians 2:2 My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, 3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

    The mystery of God is the Christ, that is, God who appeared as man in the flesh among his people. The Christ is the mystery of God. The Christ is described in many different ways. Sometimes, he was called a king, or a high priest, or a prophet. (John 19:37, Heb 5:8, Acts 3:22) However, in reality, he was God himself who appeared as man. Then why was it necessary for God to appear as man?

    When God appeared among his people on Mt. Sinai among the clouds and thunders in the time of Exodus, God’s people got terrified by his appearance. They thought they would die if they saw God and they heard from God directly. At that moment God used Prophet Moses (a man) as mediator between God and His people. In this way, God’s people could receive the words of God without having to face the glory of God that frightened them.

    Man Moses and Man Jesus

    Using Moses a man as mediator was just a copy and shadow. This was given to show Man Christ who would come as mediator between God and His people. Instead of sending a prophet, God decided to come down as man in person to lead them. That was Jesus Christ.

    Hebrews 3:5 “Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s house,” bearing witness to what would be spoken by God in the future. 6 But Christ is faithful as the Son over God’s house.

    Moses was used by God to show the appearance of the Christ the true mediator who can give eternal salvation to his people. According to this prophecy, Christ Jesus came down from heaven to us. Even though he was called in many different ways, he was God himself, who appeared as man to save his people. (Phil 2:6, Rom 9:5)

    The Christ, Mystery of God

    God himself appeared as man and dwelled among his people, but his people did not recognize him. To their eyes, he was a man just like one of them. They could not see the divinity of God hidden in the flesh of Jesus.

    John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God….. The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 11 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him….. 14 The Word (God) became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

    Who was this man? Was he a man? Or God who came as man?

    Behold, The Man

    Even though God came down to his people to teach them and lead them to salvation, they did not recognize him nor did they receive him. Rather, they rejected the Christ because they could see only his outward appearance without witnessing the glory of God hidden in the flesh. To their eyes Jesus as a mere man claiming to God. When Governor Pilate had Jesus stood in front of Jews, they shouted in one voice, “Crucify him!”. They rejected the Savior they had been waiting for because they saw only humanity in Jesus. Jews could only see physical aspects of Jesus

    John 19:5 5 So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, “Look! Here is the man!

    However, the disciples of Jesus correctly testify that he was God who appeared as man. And they could receive him and the salvation the Christ granted to his people at his first appearance 2000 years ago.

    John 1:14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

    1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all people.

    Both of the testimonies of John and Paul has an important message in it. Both of them saw Jesus as man in the flesh. At once, however, they could see the divinity hidden inside the man Christ. They recognized the man as the Christ or God who appeared as man in the flesh.

    Divinity Hidden in the Flesh

    Then how could they recognize the divinity hidden in the flesh of the Christ? Peter knew the truth of Jesus and he testifies about Jesus as such.

    Matthew 16:13 When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” 14 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” 16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”

    Unlike the Jews of the time Peter knew the identity of Jesus Christ even though he came as man. By testifying Jesus as the Son of God actually he was witnessing that Jesus as God himself who came as man to fulfill the prophecies of bible. (Isa 9:6) Then how could he know that Jesus was God?

    John 6:68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words that give eternal life. 69 And now we believe and know that you are the Holy One who has come from God.

    He could know Jesus was the one prophesied in the bible and he came from God to fulfill the prophecies of the bible through “the words that give eternal life”. Even though Jesus appeared as man, through the words and the teachings that give eternal life he knew that Jesus was God because it is only God who can give eternal life.

    Mystery of God in the Last Day

    2000 years ago, Christ was the mystery to the Jews because they did not know who he was. Only a small number of people chosen by God could see know the identity of the Christ. According to the bible, the same thing will happen in the last day when the Christ appears for the second time.

    Hebrews 9:28 so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.

    The bible prophesies that the Christ, the Mystery of God would appear for the second time as man in the flesh just as he appeared for the first time. And the bible says he is the one who comes to give salvation. Then what will happen when the man Christ comes again? Jesus already foretold that the same thing will happen at that time.

    The Second Coming Christ, Mystery of God

    Luke 17:25 But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

    About his appearance in the last days, Jesus told that he would suffer many things as his first coming and he would be rejected by the people of the generation as he did 2000 years ago by his own generation. In this situation what is the way for us to know the divinity of Christ hidden in the flesh? To the most people Christ would be a mystery because they would see only the physical appearance of the Second Coming Christ.

    But the people of God must be able to see the divinity hidden in the flesh and recognize him. The bible teaches we can know the Christ only through the words of eternal life.

    The Sign of The Man Christ

    Then what is the words of eternal life the Second Coming Christ brings to us?

    John 6:53 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.

    Christ comes to give us salvation and he brings the words of eternal life for our salvation. The words of eternal life are granting salvation of eternal life through his flesh and blood, that is, the bread and wine of the Passover. The one who brings the words of eternal life promised in the Passover is the man Christ or God who comes as man in the flesh.

    Today, a man appeared and restored the Passover of the new covenant which got abolished in 325 AD in the council of Nicaea. Even though he was man and lived as man in every way, through the words of eternal life we have to know who he is. Christ Ahnsahnghong brought back the Passover and opened the way to the tree of life through the bread and wine of the Passover.

    “Behold, the man!”

    Who is he to us? We have to ask this question to ourselves and should get the right answer for the question? Is he a man claiming to be God? Or a prophet? Or a bible scholar? Or even a heretic? Or the man Christ, who is God the Savior who came as man in the flesh for our salvation?

  • How to Receive the Holy Spirit

    How to Receive the Holy Spirit

    How to Receive the Holy Spirit–Today there are many churches claiming that they have received the Holy Spirit. To prove their argument, they perform miracles and wonders of healing people just like Jesus 2000 years ago. At this point, what we should think about is the authenticity of healing power as the sign of the Holy Spirit.

    Can we believe that healing is the sign of the Holy Spirit? Jesus said about the healing too:

    Matthew 24:24 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you ahead of time.

    Jesus said that even the false messiahs and prophets will perform the signs and wonders too. But their purpose is to deceive people into destruction, not to lead them to salvation. Then can we say that these false messiah and prophets who mislead people are filled with the Holy Spirit and they can do these amazing things through the power of the Holy Spirit? Definitely not.

    At least their power is not coming from God, but from Devil. That is why Christ called them “the sons of Devil”. Therefore, we cannot know the true church through the wonders and miracles. Then what is the true sign of the Holy Spirit and how can we receive the Holy Spirit?

    How to Receive the Holy Spirit
    The Baptism of Christ: Jesus received the Holy Spirit in the time of Baptism. Then how about us? How can we receive the Holy Spirit and what is the sign of the Holy Spirit in us?

    The True Sign of the Holy Spirit

    What is the Holy Spirit?

    How to Receive the Holy Spirit–Then what is the true sign of the Holy Spirit? To find out this first we have to know the reason God gives us the Holy Spirit? Jesus said that we must be born again through water and the Spirit (or the Holy Spirit). It means God gives us the Holy Spirit for our salvation, not for wonders and miracles.

    Ezekiel 37:14 I will put my Spirit (the Holy Spirit) in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land.

    The primary purpose of God’s giving the Holy Spirit to people is to give them life and salvation. The main purpose of the Holy Spirit is not in performing wonders and miracles. God gives the Spirit for our salvation. Therefore, to receive salvation, we must have the Spirit of God inside us. Then how can we receive the Holy Spirit?

    This is probably the most important questions we must ask as believers of God who want to receive the salvation from God. Then what should we do to receive the Holy Spirit?

    The Holy Spirit, the Words of God

    How to Receive the Holy Spirit–The bible says that the Holy Spirit works through the words of God.

    John 6:63 The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they (God’s words) are the Spirit and life.

    God is teaching us that the words of God are the Spirit or the Holy Spirit. Therefore, those who want to receive the Holy Spirit must know the true words of God and receive those words of God. In that way, the Spirit of God will work in us through the Holy Spirit. We can confirm this through another teaching of Christ.

    Christ teaches that we can be set free from the slavery of sin and death, and receive the salvation of eternal life through the truth.

    John 8:32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

    Then what is the truth that sets us free from the slavery of sin and death?

    John 17:17 Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.

    1 John 5:6 And it is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit (the Holy Spirit) is the truth.

    Through this we can understand is that the truth that set us free is actually the words of God, which is the Holy Spirit. Therefore, to have the Holy Spirit in us, we have to know the Words of God. The words of God are not just letters written in the pages of the bible. The bible says that the Words of God are active and living (Hebrews 4:12). And they work in us in the form of Holy Spirit to give us salvation.

    The True Sign of the Holy Spirit

    How to Receive the Holy Spirit–Then what is the true sign of the Holy Spirit? Can we know the Holy Spirit through wonders and miracles? No. Then how can we know that we have the Spirit of God or the Holy Spirit?

    Ezekiel 11:17 “Therefore say: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will gather you from the nations and bring you back from the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you back the land of Israel again.’ 18 “They will return to it and remove all its vile images and detestable idols. 19 I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them; I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh. 20 Then they will follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. They will be my people, and I will be their God.

    This is the prophecies of the last days when God gathers his people from the nations and lead them to the kingdom of heaven, the true Promised Land. At that time, God said that he would give his people “a new spirit”. Then what is this new spirit we must receive from God in the last days?

    The New Spirit, the Holy Spirit

    Ezekiel 36:24 “‘For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land. 25 I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols. 26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws.

    How to Receive the Holy Spirit–This is the same prophecy as the one we have already seen in Chapter 11. God prophesies that he would gather his people and cleanse them from the sins and impurities. In this way, they would be free from sin and death. And God will give them a new spirit, that is, the Spirit of God (the Holy Spirit).

    Just as the bible says that our body is the temple of God. However, God’s temple is desecrated by the idols and impurities. But God says that he will cleanse our body of temple and put His Spirit in us. According to the prophecies above, what is the most important characteristics of people who receive the Holy Spirit? Do they perform miracles and wonders? No.

    How to Receive the Holy Spirit
    The Descent of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost: On the Day of the Pentecost, the disciples of Jesus received the Holy Spirit. After receiving the Holy Spirit, what did they do to show that the Holy Spirit was in them? They obeyed the words of God preaching the gospel, that is, the words of God.

    Those who Received the Holy Spirit

    How to Receive the Holy Spirit–The bible teaches that the main character of God’s people who received the Holy Spirit is not in wonders and miracles, but in keeping the words of God.

    Ezekiel 11:19 19 I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them; …  20 Then they will follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. They will be my people, and I will be their God.

    Ezekiel 36:26 26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. 28 Then you will live in the land I gave your ancestors; you will be my people, and I will be your God.

    Those who receive the Spirit of God are those who keep the words of God. God give his words (the Holy Spirit) so that people who keep those words can be cleansed of their sins and impurities. And they would be called the people of God, who can inherit the Promised Land, the Kingdom of Heaven.

    Conclusion

    How to Receive the Holy Spirit–Today, there are many churches claiming to receive the Holy Spirit. However, they neither know the words of God nor keep them. Then how can we say that they have receive the Holy Spirit? Actually, the bible teaches that those who perform miracles could have received the spirit from the Devil, not from God. Therefore, we must beware when someone says that they receive the Holy Spirit.

    The only way we can know if they received the Holy Spirit is through their action. Those who received the Holy Spirit “follow God’s decree and be careful to the laws of God”. Through the Holy Spirit they received, God is dwelling in them and they can have the same mind and spirit as God. Therefore, they obey God completely and make efforts to keep all the commands and laws of God.

    Through the festivals God is granting us the Holy Spirit and tells us that we must be careful to keep the laws of God as people who receive the Spirit of God. Let us keep the Sabbath and the 7 festivals of Three Times. And Let us prove ourselves to God and people that we are the true people of God.

  • Jerusalem Temple and God the Mother

    Jerusalem Temple and God the Mother

    Jerusalem Temple and God the Mother–In the time of King Solomon, God allowed the Israelites to build a temple to put his name in. From that time on the temple in Jerusalem became the center of the worship for the Jews as God commanded them.

    Deuteronomy 12:4 You must not worship the Lord your God in their way. 5 But you are to seek the place the Lord your God will choose from among all your tribes to put his Name there for his dwelling. To that place you must go; 6 there bring your burnt offerings and sacrifices, your tithes and special gifts, what you have vowed to give and your freewill offerings, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks. 7 There, in the presence of the Lord your God, you and your families shall eat and shall rejoice in everything you have put your hand to, because the Lord your God has blessed you.

    Since the time of Solomon, Jerusalem became the most important place for the Jews in their worship of God.

    The Prophecies of the Appearance of the Reality of the Temple

    The Old Covenant and the New Covenant

    Jerusalem Temple and God the Mother–However, in many places of the bible God foretold that the reality of the temple would appear. God gave the Law of Moses and the Jerusalem Temple as copy and shadow for the reality which would be revealed the people of God who would live in the time of New Testament.

    Heb 10:1 The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming—not the realities themselves.

    For this reason, Paul says that the old covenant was given the role of school master to lead us to the reality, that is fulfilled through the Christ in the New Testament.

    Gal 3:2Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

    The Prophecies of the Appearance of the Reality of the Temple

    Jerusalem Temple and God the Mother–Then what is the reality of the temple in the new covenant? Just like all the Law of Moses, the temple worship was also a copy and shadow given to people until the time of the fulfillment by the Christ. The temple and worship was not the reality itself.

    For this reason, God teaches us through the bible that the reality of the temple would be revealed in the later days.

    Jeremiah 3:16 In those days, when your numbers have increased greatly in the land,” declares the Lord, “people will no longer say, ‘The ark of the covenant of the Lord.’ It will never enter their minds or be remembered; it will not be missed, nor will another one be made. 17 At that time they will call Jerusalem The Throne of the Lord, and all nations will gather in Jerusalem to honor the name of the Lord.

    In this prophecy, God foretold that people would not seek the Ark of the Covenant anymore. Then what is the ark of the covenant? The ark of the covenant which was also called “the Ark of the Testimony,” was a wooden chest for the two stone tablets of the Ten Commandments. God gave the two stone tablets and commanded Moses to build a sanctuary for the words of God.

    According to the commands of God, Moses built a sanctuary and he put the ark of the covenant in the Most Holy Place of the sanctuary. And he made a cover for the ark of the covenant with two cherubim on top facing each other, protecting the ark of the covenant. This cover had many different names such as the atonement cover or the mercy seat or the throne of God because God said that he would sit enthroned between the cherubim.

    The True Throne of God

    Jerusalem Temple and God the Mother–Along with the sanctuary or the temple, this Throne of God was the most important religious objects in the worship of God. Therefore, wherever they went, the Israelites carried the ark of the covenant with them. When the ark was with them, they were blessed and prosperous. However, when they lost the ark because of their sins, they were punished and had to go through many hardships and distress.

    Even though the ark of the covenant and the temple is so much important to them, God prophesied that the Israelites would not remember the ark of the covenant or they miss it even though they did not have one. How could it be possible? It is because the reality of the ark of the covenant and the temple would be given to them instead of the copy of it.

    Even Jesus also taught about this 2000 years ago. He taught the Samaritan woman at the well that people didn’t have to go to the Jerusalem Temple to worship God.

    John 4:21 “Woman,” Jesus replied, “believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.

    According to the command of God, God’s people built the Jerusalem Temple to honor the Name of God and to worship Him. But Jesus said that now people should not go to Jerusalem to worship God. This teaching of Jesus is rather strange considering the importance of the temple worship to the Jews of the time.

    The Reality of the Temple

    Jerusalem Temple and God the Mother–However, if we understand the reason Jesus gave the teaching for, we can see the point of his teaching. The temple was the place of the throne of God. And God said that he would dwell among his people sitting enthroned between the cherubim. This was fulfilled when God put His Spirit inside the temple after the completion of the temple.

    1 Kings 8:6 The priests then brought the ark of the Lord’s covenant to its place in the inner sanctuary of the temple, the Most Holy Place, and put it beneath the wings of the cherubim. 7 The cherubim spread their wings over the place of the ark and overshadowed the ark and its carrying poles. …10 When the priests withdrew from the Holy Place, the cloud filled the temple of the Lord. 11 And the priests could not perform their service because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord filled his temple.

    After the construction of the temple, people put the ark of the covenant or the throne of God into the Most Holy Place of the temple. From that time on, God started to dwell among his people by putting his Spirit in the Jerusalem Temple. In this sense, the temple is the place where God puts His Spirit to dwell among his people on this earth.

    Christ’s Body, the Spiritual Temple

    Jerusalem Temple and God the Mother–Then what is the reality of the temple which God would give his people instead of the physical temple? The answer can be found in the teaching of Christ.

    John 2:19 19 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.” 20 They replied, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?” 21 But the temple he had spoken of was his body.

    Through these verses we can understand that the body of Jesus was the spiritual temple or the reality of the temple. Instead of putting his Spirit inside a physical building, God put the Spirit of God in the body of Christ so that he would dwell among his people. Christ himself was the reality of the temple of God and God’s Spirit was inside the body of Jesus’ Christ.

    Matthew 1:18 This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit.

    The bible teaches that Jesus was born through the Spirit of God or the Holy Spirit. Jesus was God himself who had appeared as man by putting his Spirit in the body of Christ.

    The dwelling of God
    What is the heavenly Jerusalem in the Book of Revelation which is coming down from heaven? It is depicted as the Most Holy Place of the temple. What is the reality of the Most Holy Place and the Throne of God?

    The Reality of the Temple in the Last Days

    Jerusalem Temple and God the Mother–Therefore, we can conclude that the body of Christ was the reality of the temple of God. And the Spirit of God or the Holy Spirit was dwelling in his body. This is very important to us too. It is because the bible teaches that the temple of God would appear in the last days too to make His dwelling among His people.

    Revelation 21:2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.

    The bible says that the temple of God New Jerusalem would come down from heaven and make God’s dwelling among his people. Then what is the New Jerusalem that would come down from heaven as the dwelling of God? Does it mean the heavenly temple building would come down from heaven? Definitely not!! Jesus already foretold that people would not have to go to the physical temple to worship God.

    Then what is this heavenly Jerusalem which would appear as the dwelling of God?

    Galatians 4:26 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.

    Paul teaches the identity of the heavenly Jerusalem. The heavenly Jerusalem is our Mother or God the Mother. And it means God the Mother would appear as Christ or God in the flesh and she would put the Spirit of God in Her body so that She would dwell among Her people.

    Conclusion

    Jerusalem Temple and God the Mother–2000 years ago, God the Father appeared as man and dwelt among His people by putting His Spirit in the body of Christ. Jesus came as the reality of the temple for the salvation of the people of God. In the same way, the bible teaches that in the last days the heavenly New Jerusalem God the Mother would appear as man and would make Her dwelling among Her people by putting the Spirit of God in Her body.

    This prophecy got fulfilled by God the Mother coming down from heaven in the flesh. And she made her dwelling among the people of God for their salvation. Now she is calling Her people to come to her for the salvation of their souls.

    Revelation 22:17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.

    Now come to God the Father and God the Mother and receive the water of life.

  • Abraham’s Family History And God’s Salvation Work

    Abraham’s Family History And God’s Salvation Work

    Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob–The bible is a book that contains knowledge about the salvation of God’s people. Then why does the book which is concerned about the salvation of souls narrate the family history of Abraham in so much detail? The Book of Genesis starts from the creation of the light and continues to sketch the ancient human history briefly until the call of Abraham. From 4000BC when the creation work started to about 2000BC when God called Abraham, the history of 2000 years of the ancient human history is recounted in a brief manner until the story of the tower Babel in Chapter 11.

    From this point up to the end of Genesis, the rapid which travelled fast through a long distance of time suddenly becomes an Amazonian river meandering through the wide flat land making snake-like traces following the footsteps of Abraham and his descendants until the death of his great grandson Joseph. All the way from the twelfth chapter of Genesis to the final fiftieth chapter, those 39 chapters of Genesis give us thorough recounts of those four generations starting from Abraham.

    Some Stories Contained In The Genesis

    Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob–The story starts from the call of Abraham by God and his journey to the land of Canaan. The belated birth of Isaac is followed by the story of twins born to Isaac and their rivalry to win the right of the firstborn of their father Abraham. Later, it tells the exiled life of Jacob to his uncle’s house and the children born to him at the place. And Jacob leaves his uncle’s house to come back to his own hometown. Finally, the book ends with story of Jacob’s 12 sons, Joseph and his eleven brothers: how he and all his brothers came to live in Egypt. And the story ends with the death of Joseph.

    This book contains interesting stories of many generations, telling us how they lived and what their relationships to each other were like. We can learn about history, family, conflicts, love, etc… It contains all the aspects of human life and can give us a lot of teachings and lesson for our life. However, is it for this reason that the book was written? Did God want to teach us the proprieties and manners? Is it about the love and hatred between the members of a family? What is the message God tries to give us through this family history?

    Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob
    Call of Abraham: Even though he did not know where to go, Abraham left his hometown obeying the command of God.

    The Interpretation Of The Family History Of Abraham

    Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob–What God wants us to know through the family history of Abraham is, more importantly, about the people of God who would receive salvation and enter the kingdom of heaven. Then what is hidden in this story of Abraham and his descendants? To understand this, first we have to know the purpose of God giving us the Book of Genesis. What is the Book of Genesis for?

    Isaiah 46:10 I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.’

    According to this verse, we can come to know the purpose of Genesis. God gave Genesis the beginning as prophecies to teach us “what is still to come.” The book actually lets us know what is going to happen in the end time. In other words, Abraham’s family history contains a spiritual message behind it which God intended to give to His own people who would receive salvation. Then what is the spiritual meaning behind it?

    Who Does Abraham Represent?

    Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob–Let us first think of Abraham. Who is Abraham and what is the message of God in him? According to the bible, Abraham represent God the Father Jehovah and the Age of Father. In the parable of “A Rich Man and Lazarus,” Jesus teaches us the spiritual meaning of Abraham.

    Luke 16:22 “The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. 24 So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.’

    In this parable, the soul of Lazarus after his death was taken to Abraham. But actually, what does the bible says about the soul of a person after his death. The bible says it goes to God.

    Abraham and God

    Ecclesiastes 12:7 and the dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it

    Through the wisdom God gave him, Solomon who wrote Ecclesiastes tells us that our soul or spirit would go back to God after the death of our body. It perfectly makes sense. Since God is the creator and former of our spirit, after the separation from the body the spirit will go back to the origin, that is, God. However, in the parable above the spirit of Lazarus was taken to Abraham. It is because Abraham is a figure given to us to represent God. We can confirm this through the rich man in the parable. The rich man calls Abraham ‘Father’. In the spiritual realm there is only one who can be called ‘Father’ that is God because God is the only one who gave birth to the souls of people.

    Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob
    Abraham was willing to sacrifice his one and only son in obedience to the words of God. What is the meaning of this history?

    The Son of Abraham, Isaac

    Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob–Then how about the only son of Abraham, Isaac? Who does Isaac represent? According to the bible, Isaac represent the Only Son of God, Jesus.

    John 8:56 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad.

    To understand this word of Christ, we have to know the promise God gave to Abraham.

    Genesis 17:19 21 But my covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you by this time next year.” 22 When he had finished speaking with Abraham, God went up from him.

    Finally, to fulfill the promise, when Abraham was 100 years old, a son was born to him and his wife Sarah. At the birth of Isaac, they rejoiced and named the son “Isaac,” which means “laughter”.

    Genesis 21:5 5 Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him. 6 Sarah said, “God has brought me laughter, and everyone who hears about this will laugh with me.”

    In this story of the birth of Isaac, whose day did Abraham expect to see? It was the day of Isaac according to the promise of God. However, in the verse above, Jesus said what Abraham expected to see was His day, that is, the day of Jesus himself. Through this teaching of Christ, we can know the only son of Abraham was a prophecy to teach the coming of Jesus, the Only Son of God Himself. Therefore, Isaac, the son of Abraham actually represents Jesus, the Son of God and the Age of Son.

    The Meaning of Jacob or Israel

    Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob–Then who is Jacob spiritually? God divided his salvation work into three ages: the Age of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Since Abraham and Isaac represents Father and Son respectively, Jacob represents the Holy Spirit and the Age of the Holy Spirit. And the story of the 12 sons of Jacob means God’s people who are to be saved in the last days. Let us confirm this through the salvation work of God in the last days.

    Gathering Of the 12 Tribes Of Israel

    Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob–The very first work God achieves for the salvation in the last days is to gather all the 12 tribes of Israel, which represents 12 sons of Jacob. In the last day, spiritual Jacob would appear as Holy Spirit and gather all the 12 tribes of God’s people to give them salvation.

    Revelation 7:4 Then I heard the number of those who were sealed: 144,000 from all the tribes (or 12 tribes) of Israel (or Jacob).

    Before the great disaster comes on this earth to destroy everything on the face of the earth, spiritual Jacob appears to give the seal of God to the last remnants of God or the 12 tribes of Israel. Those who receive the seal can survive the disasters and go back to the kingdom of heaven. Then who is it that appears as prophetical Jacob to seal the people of God in the last days? It is the Second Coming Christ?

    The Signs of the Appearance of Jacob

    Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob–According to the bible, the angel who has the seal of God appears at the wake of a series of signs. Then what are the signs that foreshadows the coming of the angel?

    Revelation 6:12  I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, 13 and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind.

    Before the appearance of the angel, the bible teaches that there would be signs in the sun, moon and the stars. Then who is the angel that appears after all these signs? Let us look at another prophecy to find out who the angel is.

    Matthew 24:29 “‘the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’ 30 “Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven.

    In this teaching of Jesus we can see the same signs we saw in the Book of Revelation. In the Book of Revelations, after these signs an angel appears with the seal of God to give salvation by gathering all the 12 tribes of Israel and sealing them. However, in this Book of Matthew, whose appearance are these signs for? These are the signs of the appearance of the Son of Man, namely, the Second Coming Jesus Christ who would come in the last days. The bible teaches that the Second Coming Christ would appear to gather the elect from the four winds. (Matthew 24:31)

    Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob
    Jacob was named Israel or “overcomer” after his wrestle with God.

    Second Coming Christ Appearing As Jacob

    Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob–By comparing these two verses of the bible we can come to know that the angel in Revelation is none other than the Second Coming Christ himself who would come in the last day to give salvation to the chosen people of God. He would come as man in the flesh for the second time. And he would seal God’s people through the Passover of the new covenant so that they can escape from the last and greatest disaster.

    Then in this age of the Holy Spirit, who appeared to us and gave the seal of salvation through the Passover? It is Christ Ahnsahnghong. Therefore, he is the Savior in this Age of the Holy Spirit. He is the Spiritual Jacob who came to gather the 12 tribes of Israel. In the Book of Genesis Jacob held on to God for the blessings and he was named Israel. (Genesis 32:28) Israel means “overcomer” who overcame all the hardships and difficulties. In the same way, God teaches us that 144,000 the last remnant of God must overcome the world just like Jacob.

    Revelation 2:7 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.

    God wants us to overcome the world and sinful desires and finish the race for the imperishable crown of life in the kingdom of heaven. Let us become the overcomers.

  • [WMSCOG] Passover The Tree Of Life

    [WMSCOG] Passover The Tree Of Life

    Secrets Hidden In Parable

    Passover The Tree Of Life–The Book of Genesis contains many secrets and mysteries in it. People who do not know how to read the bible try to understand and interpret Genesis literally. And in the end they come to distort the words of God. Then how should we understand and interpret the Book of Genesis? The bible gives enough information for us to know the meaning of all the parables in the bible.

    2000 years ago, Jesus came down to us and taught how to understand the Book of Genesis. Therefore, to understand the book first we have look at the words of God in the bible.

    Jesus’ Teachings: The Key To Understand The Parable

    Matthew 13:34 Jesus spoke all these things to the crowd in parables; he did not say anything to them without using a parable. 35 So was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophet: “I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden since the creation of the world.”

    Passover The Tree Of Life–The bible says that all the words of God in the bible are composed of many parables. In this sense, the bible itself is a huge construction of figurative language. The problem of the figurative language is, however, that sometimes it can cause misunderstandings since it can be interpreted in many different ways. Therefore, to know the intended meaning of the parable, we must have knowledge about the intention of the maker of the parable. In the case of the bible we have to know the intention of God in the parable since God gave us the book. (Isaiah 34:16)

    Since it is impossible to know the thoughts of God with our human understanding (Isaiah 55:8), Jesus, who is God himself, came down to us. And He gave us the teachings of God directly that we may understand the meanings of the parable. And we can interpret the bible correctly.

    Passover the tree of life
    What is the tree of life? What should we eat to live forever?

    The Tree Of Life In Genesis

    The First Sin And the Death Through Sin

    Passover The Tree Of Life–Jesus taught us many things about the hidden secrets and mysteries of the bible. However, today let us study one teaching of Jesus, the tree of life. What is the tree of life? What is the hidden secret behind this parable?

    Let us first look at the parable of the tree of life in the Book of Genesis. In the Book of Romans, Paul says that sin entered the world through Adam and the death through sin. (Romans 5:12) Adam did not obey the words of God. He committed sin by practicing the lawlessness. (1John 3:4) God commanded him not to eat from “the tree of the knowledge of good and evil”. However, Adam and Eve practiced the lawlessness and ate from the tree.

    Because of this disobedience or sin, the death came to them. And they were destined to die. However, if we read the Book of Genesis, there was a way for them to have eternal life despite their sin and the death sentence in the wake.

    Eternal Life For The Sinners

    Genesis 3:22 And the Lord God said, “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.”

    Passover The Tree Of Life–Even though they were destined to die because of their sin, there was a way for the sinners to live forever. If only they could eat from the tree of life, they could have eternal life. However, God did not allow them to eat from the tree of life.

    Genesis 3:23 So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. 24 After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.

    God set a flaming sword and cherubim on guard to keep the sinners from eating the tree of life. Since they could not eat from the tree of life, the eternal life was taken away from them. And they lamented as Paul said, “What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?” (Romans 7:24)

    This story of sin and death is not just a story of Adam and Eve. Actually, this is the story of all the human beings on this earth who is living as slaves of sin and death. (Romans 5:12)

    The Interpretation On The Parable Of Tree Of Life

    The Figurative Language That Contains Secrets

    Passover The Tree Of Life–This is the story of the tree of life in the Book of Genesis. We cannot interpret the story literally. Can we pinpoint the physical location of the Garden of Eden somewhere on this earth? And is there the entrance of the garden guarded by a flaming sword and cherubim? And in the middle of the garden do you think we can see the tree of life that we may eat and live forever? Definitely not.

    The bible says there are “things hidden” or secrets in this story of the tree of life in the Book of Genesis. It means we cannot interpret Genesis in the literal sense. Rather, we have to know the hidden meaning behind this story. Then what is the tree of life? How can we eat it and live forever? To find the answer for these questions we should look at the teachings of Jesus Christ.

    The Tree Of Life In The Teachings Of Jesus

    Passover The Tree Of Life–2000 years ago, God himself came down to this earth in the name of Jesus. He wanted to reveal “things hidden since the creation of the world.” The very first thing he revealed through his teaching was the parable of the tree of life. He wanted to let us know the reality of the tree of life for our salvation of eternal life. Then what is the true tree of life we should eat to live forever?

    John 6:53 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.

    What should a sinner eat to live forever in the Garden of Eden? The tree of life. In this teaching of Jesus what should a sinner eat to live forever? Jesus’ flesh and blood. Then what is the reality of the tree of life? It is none other than the flesh and blood of Jesus. What God wanted to teach us through the parable of the tree of life in Genesis was that a sinner living on this earth must eat Jesus’ flesh and blood to live forever or to have eternal life.

    The Way To Eat Christ’s Flesh And Blood

    Passover The Tree Of Life–We come to know the reality of the tree of life, Christ’s flesh and blood. Then the next question is how to eat Christ’s flesh and blood. As I told you, we should not interpret the bible literally. Jesus’ flesh and blood must be a parable too.

    When he gave this teaching, those who understood his teaching literally rejected him and turned away from him. They could not receive the salvation through the tree of life.

    John 6:60-66  On hearing it, many of his disciples said, “This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?”…..66 From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him.

    However, Jesus’ disciples patiently waited for Jesus to teach them how to eat his flesh and blood. And they could eat the tree of life and live forever. Therefore, we should also open our spiritual eyes. Or we may make the same mistakes as Jews and lose our share of the tree of life. Then how can we eat the tree of life to live forever.

    Passover the tree of life
    Jesus and His Disciples Keeping Passover

    Passover the Reality of the Tree Of Life

    Passover The Tree Of Life–Then what is the way we can eat Jesus’ flesh and blood?

    Matthew 26:17 On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?” 18 He replied, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, ‘The Teacher says: My appointed time is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.’” 19 So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.

    On the night of the Passover, he gave his disciples a precious teaching. He taught them how to eat from the tree of life. Also he taught them what the way is they could eat his flesh and blood.

    Matthew 26:26 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.” 27 Then he took a cup (wine), and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 28 This is my blood of the[b] covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

    On the night of the Passover, Jesus taught his disciples of the way to eat his flesh and blood. He took the Passover bread and sealed it as his flesh with his own promise. In the same way, he sealed the Passover wine as his blood. Therefore, by keeping the Passover, we can eat his flesh and drink his blood. Consequently, through the Passover, we can eat the tree of life to live forever.

    Abolishment and Restoration Of The Passover

    Passover The Tree Of Life–The saints of the early church kept the Passover of the new covenant according to the teachings of Christ. (1Corinthians 5:7) However, Satan worked against the Passover and abolished it. It attempted to abolish the Passover many times in the history of Christianity, first in A.D. 155 and 197. Finally, in the Council of Nicaea in 325, the Passover was completely abolished and disappeared from the world.

    For this reason, the bible says that the Christ would come for the second time to give us salvation.

    Hebrews 9:28 so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.

    To fulfill this prophecy, Christ appeared to us for the second time in the name of Christ Ahnsahnghong. He restored the Passover of the new covenant for our salvation. Once the way to the tree of life was hidden, but now it is open to us again. Now let us keep the Passover of the new covenant with a joyful and thankful mind for the salvation Christ gave us for the second time.

  • Homeward Bound: The Story of Salmon

    Homeward Bound: The Story of Salmon

    A Story Of Salmon

    Journey to Heaven–A salmon is anadromous, which means it can adapt to both freshwater and saltwater environment. After spending a couple of years in the freshwater during the time of fry, they make their journey to the ocean to live the rest of their life in the saltwater. This process is called ‘smoltification’. During this period, they go through huge changes in the internal functions of their body. They regulate the amount of urination, intake of sodium, etc. In this way, they can adapt to their new environment as adolescent.

    After living about 1~7 years in the ocean, which varies according to species, they finally make their final journey back to home. This is the last and long journey fraught with many dangers. During this journey they have to face many obstacles and difficulties such as predators, rapids, fishers, etc. Even though it is a dangerous journey, they bravely travel sometimes thousands of miles to find their home. Also somehow they have an amazing sense of direction for an unknown reason and find the exact river they came from and follow back to the place where they were originally born.

    At the last stage of their life, they make this homeward journey to complete their mission. Now what they have to do is to change their body function back again to adapt to the freshwater. This time their body works reversely to take in more salt. The cells in their gills pump in more salt to match the salinity of their body. When this process is done, they can go all the way back to the original stream they came from. There they spawn to give new life to its young and die.

    Our Journey Back To Eternal Home In Heaven

    Our Life In This World Of Sea

    Journey to Heaven–This journey of salmon tells us a lot about our life in this earth. Even though forgotten, once we lived in heaven. Because of our sins, however, we came to this earth. The moment we left the heaven, everything changed. Our body had to go through many internal changes. We had to take off our glorious robes and had to put on this weak and inferior clothes to live on this earth.

    Just like the salmon, which continuously pumps salt out from its body to live in the ocean, we have to work hard to survive on this earth. It is because this is not a favorable place for us to live in. It is because this is not our true home. We did not know why we should go through many hardships and pains on this earth. We just accepted them because we thought life is always like that. Life is always full of pain. Instead of complaining, just accept it and try to adapt to it.

    Our Eternal Home

    Journey to Heaven–Through the bible, we come to know all the answers for all the ‘whys’ we used to have in our mind. We were once in heaven, the most beautiful place as angels. (Proverb 8:22, Job 381, :21) And the reason why we had to come down to this earth, the sea of sorrow and pain. (Isa 14:12, Eze 28:12) We left our home and living as “aliens and strangers” on this earth. (Heb 11:13, 1Pe 2:11) Also the bible let us know that we have to go back to our home. (Phil 3:20)

    We were once drinking the salt water which causes pains in us without knowing the reason. Now the bible teaches us that we do not belong to this earth. And now is the time for us to go back to our eternal home in heaven where there is no pain, no sorrow, no death.

    To go back home to the upstream in the river, first a salmon must change its body constitution. Its body has to go through huge changes in its physiological and hormonal functions. Now we are in a spiritual estuary where the homeward bound journey starts. To go upstream, first we have to change our body constitution to match the freshwater.

    Journey to Heaven
    Just like a salmon going upstream overcoming difficulties, we have to make our journey back to have overcoming any obstacles.

    The Journey To Eternal Home In Heaven

    Born Again Into A New Life

    Journey to Heaven–Just like a salmon in an estuary must adapt to the freshwater by making necessary changes in their body, we have to go through the same process. God’s people who received the words of God must now change themselves so that they can adapt to the words of God. Today, the freshwater which gives us a new life is flowing from the Spirit and the Bride.

    Revelation 22:17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.

    The water of life coming from the Heavenly Mother Jerusalem has power to give life to the dying souls.

    Ezekiel 47:8 He said to me, “This water flows toward the eastern region and goes down into the Arabah, where it enters the Dead Sea. When it empties into the sea, the salty water there becomes fresh. 9 Swarms of living creatures will live wherever the river flows. There will be large numbers of fish, because this water flows there and makes the salt water fresh; so where the river flows everything will live.

    All the creature living in the sea of pain, sorrow and death can live because of the living water that makes the salt water fresh. To fulfill this prophecy, the Heavenly Jerusalem God the Mother came down to this earth as the bride of Christ and pouring down on us the living water to give us life. Now we should accept the living water coming from God the Mother and change ourselves to adapt to the new environment.

    Homeward Bound Journey

    Journey to Heaven–The homeward bound journey of a salmon is not easy. During the time they face a lot of dangers and difficulties. And only those who overcome all these things finally can go back home and end their journey. In the same way, the bible teaches us that we will face a lot of hardships and difficulties on this earth to go back home.

    Act 14:22 strengthening the disciples and encouraging them to remain true to the faith. “We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God,” they said.

    Paul, who said the verse above, lived up to his word by going through many hardships and difficulties. Many obstacles were laid in front of him to make him stumble and fall. However, he overcame all the difficulties. Nothing could stop his journey to the heavenly home.

    2 Corinthians 11:23 I have worked much harder, been in prison more frequently, been flogged more severely, and been exposed to death again and again. 24 Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one. 25 Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was pelted with stones, three times I was shipwrecked, I spent a night and a day in the open sea, 26 I have been constantly on the move. I have been in danger from rivers, in danger from bandits, in danger from my fellow Jews, in danger from Gentiles; in danger in the city, in danger in the country, in danger at sea; and in danger from false believers. 27 I have labored and toiled and have often gone without sleep; I have known hunger and thirst and have often gone without food; I have been cold and naked.

    Journey to heaven
    Angels Flying in heaven above

    Conclusion

    Journey to Heaven–When we successfully go through all these process, then we can go to the eternal kingdom of heaven. And just as the bible says we will have eternal glory in heaven. Even though we once lived in this world without knowing any reason and having any proper sense of direction, Father and Mother came down to us and showed us the bright way to heaven.

    Just like the salmon, which goes upstream overcoming all the obstacles to go home, let us make every effort in our journey back to the kingdom of heaven. Don’t be troubled or dismayed. Don’t be let down or discouraged. God teaches us to overcome just like he overcame.

    John 19:32 “Do you now believe?” Jesus replied. 32 “A time is coming and in fact has come when you will be scattered, each to your own home. You will leave me all alone. Yet I am not alone, for my Father is with me. 33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

    [EVENT] The 100th Anniversary Of the Birth of Christ Ahnsahnghong

    2018 Commemoration Service Of Father’s Coming

    100th Year of Christ Ahnsahnghong’s Coming–On January 14, 2018, the Church of God held a ceremony to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Christ Ahnsahnghong. Christ Ahnsahnghong was born in 1918, and this year 2018 is exactly the 100th year after his birth. To celebrate this event we held a commemoration service in the presence of the Heavenly Mother and General Pastor at Go And Come Institute in Okcheon.

    100th Year of Christ Ahnsahnghong's Coming
    The city of Busan has changed since Father’s time. This is the picture of Haeundae where once Father lived during and after the Korean war. However, now we cannot find any trace of war or poverty in this outwardly prosperous city.

    Mother’s Teaching

    100th Year of Christ Ahnsahnghong’s Coming–In the ceremony, Mother mainly said that the gospel of 2017 was amazingly successful and we reached the goal we had set at the beginning of the year 2017. And she said that we could accomplish this result due to our unity and harmony, and our dedication for the gospel work.

    The bible says, “In its time I (God) will do this swiftly”. (Isa 60:22) As the prophecy says, Father is helping us so that this gospel work could be accomplished swiftly. Once there was a time when the accomplishment was slow, however, now is the time when it is going to be fulfilled swiftly. Every words of God has the time of fulfillment.

    She also said that many things on this earth is malfunctioning, signifying the imminent catastrophic disasters coming to us. As we can see signs in weather, climate, natural and manmade disasters, the earth has lost its power to regulate itself.

    The Meaning Of 2018: 100th Year of Christ Ahnsahnghong’s Coming

    100th Year of Christ Ahnsahnghong’s Coming–And she said that 2018 is the 100th year of Christ’s coming to this earth for the salvation of our souls. And she added, “Don’t you think that this would be a meaningful year?”

    Heavenly Mother explained some meaning behind the number 100. The highest score one could get is 100. Therefore, 100 represents “perfection” and “completion”. And also the water boils at the temperature of 100. At 99 degree Celsius (210 F) nothing happens to the water. When the water reaches 100 (or 212 F), however, the water starts to boil and becomes gas. This would be the same with the gospel of 2018. In 2018, the gospel of 7 billion would be completed and accomplished.

    Matthew 24:13 but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

    After the completion of the gospel, finally we would be able to go back to the kingdom of heaven. She said that we must also prepare ourselves to go back to heaven. We must prepare our oil 100 percent and we also must make our faith perfect. Everything must be made perfect: our faith, our love, our obedience, our patience, our unity, etc…

    100th Year of Christ Ahnsahnghong's Coming
    Recently, I saw a camellia blooming in a cold winter day. And I could remember the sacrifices of Father and Mother for us sinners. Thanks to Father and Mother forever and ever.

    History Movie

    100th Year of Christ Ahnsahnghong’s Coming–And also in the second part of the celebration we saw many movies. First, we saw the greeting for the 100th year of Christ’s coming from a lot of Zion members from all around the world. And we also watched a history movie of the church of God and Father Ahnsahnghong. It started from 1918 about a man who appeared according to the parable of the fig tree.

    Matthew 24:31  “Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 33 Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it[e] is near, right at the door.

    And it featured all the major events in the history of the Church of God: Father’s baptism in 1948, the establishment of the Church of God 1964, Father’s Ascension in 1985, and after. The movie gave me so many realizations about Father’s sacrifices during the colonial time of Korea (1918-1945), the Korean civil war (1950-1953), the economic hardship at the wake. I came to realize again how much Father sacrificed for the church and gospel during these turbulent times in Korean History.

    I enjoyed the part when General Pastor explained about the last Passover Christ Ahnsahnghonng kept in 1984. He explained the realizations of the event one by one. Even though he did not know the reason at that time, now he finally could understand seemingly inexplicable things Christ Ahnsahnghong commanded at that time.

    Conclusion

    100th Year of Christ Ahnsahnghong’s Coming–While explaining about the sacrifice of Father, Mother could not continue and had to stop several times because of the grief and sorry she felt for Father. At the end of the service Mother told us not to complain or grumble, but always give thanks to God. And she encouraged us to work for the gospel for the eternal glory in heaven. And General Pastor encouraged us to work together in unity and harmony to perfect the gospel work into 100 percent.

    In 2017, the gospel work for 7,000 regions came true under the grace of Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother. This year we have another mission of establishing 70,000 Zions in all the cities around the world. This gospel work will also be accomplished with the help of God Elohim. Now let us prepare ourselves with 100 percent faith and 100 percent unity. Then Father and Mother will help us to finish this last gospel work. And just as Mother told us not to complain or grumble. Instead let us always give thanks to God.

    Mother’s Street Movement

    Isaiah 40:3 A voice of one calling: “In the wilderness prepare the way for the Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God. 4 Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low; the rough ground shall become level, the rugged places a plain. 5 And the glory of the Lord will be revealed, and all people will see it together. For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”

    Mother’s Street Movement Around The World

    I read some interesting news articles about Mother’s Street, a world-wide cleanup campaign held by the churches of God around the world. While reading these news articles, I was reminded of one verse from the Book of Isaiah: “Prepare the way for the Lord.” Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother prepared this event for us so that we can take part in revealing the glory of God through this event. Let us join with a joyful and thankful mind so that we can share the love of God to our neighbors and people of the world. Let us take part in preparing the way for Jerusalem that she be the praise of the earth.

    Mother’s Street Movement–For the past two weeks, members of the Church of God in 175 countries have picked up trash along enough roads to circle the earth, in what it calls the “Mother’s Street” worldwide cleanup. It culminated Sunday….The name “Mother’s Street” stems from the church’s belief that God is the mother and the father, spokeswoman Nahely Molina said. “We want to be able to share the love of a mother,” Molina said. “We want to embody the love of Christ, and that’s why we’re here. We want to share the good deeds with members of the community.”

    [WMSCOG] Canaan And Passover

    Shadow and Reality

    Hebrews 10:1 The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming—not the realities themselves.

    CANAAN AND PASSOVER–The bible says that the Law of Moses in the Old Testament works as copy and shadow to teach us the reality which would come true in the Law of Christ in the New Testament. Among the many things in the old covenant, today let us look at the conquest of Canaan, the land of honey and milk. When God led the Israel people out from the slavery of Egypt, God promised them to give Canaan as their inheritance. When they obeyed the commands of God, they could receive the Promised Land in the end.

    This work of Moses and the physical Israel people works as copy and shadow to let us know the true meaning which would be accomplished in the new covenant through the work of Christ and the spiritual Israel people. Therefore, by looking at the inheritance of Canaan in the Old Testament, we can understand the inheritance of spiritual Canaan the Kingdom of Heaven by the people of God in the New Testament.

    What was particularly important in the conquest of Canaan was the keeping of Passover. Throughout their journey to the land of Canaan, the physical Israelites in the Old Testament kept the Passover three times. This was given as copy and shadow to teach the spiritual Israelites to understand the providence of God for the salvation of his people. By studying this subject we can also know the time frame we are living in so that we can get spiritually prepared for our salvation.

    The First Passover: Beginning Of the Journey

    The Time of Moses

    CANAAN AND PASSOVER–The people of Israel were under the slavery of Egypt for about 430 years when God sent Moses to rescue them from the slavery. Through Moses, God showed many miraculous signs to the Egyptians and Pharaoh, but they did not listen to the words of God. They were reluctant to set the Israelites free. Plagues hit the land one after another until the last plague, the plague of the firstborns.

    CANAAN AND PASSOVER
    The Plague of the firstborns in Egypt

    Before this plague, God told his people to keep the Passover by slaughtering lambs and putting the blood of lambs on the door frames. Finally, on the night of the Passover when the plague hit the land, only those who kept the Passover could receive the protection from the disasters. All others suffered from the plague and lost their firstborns. The very night of the Passover, Pharaoh called in Moses and told him to take all the Israelites and leave the land.

    Exodus 12:10 10 Do not leave any of it till morning; if some is left till morning, you must burn it. 11 This is how you are to eat it: with your cloak tucked into your belt, your sandals on your feet and your staff in your hand. Eat it in haste; it is the Lord’s Passover.

    The Time of Jesus

    CANAAN AND PASSOVER–This first Passover was the shadow for God’s people 2000 years ago. What God wanted to teach through the story of Israelites is the story of the true spiritual Israelites or God’s people who are living on this earth under the slavery of sin and death. The story of Jews in the Old Testament was the story of God’s people who would be rescued from the slavery of sin and death and led to the spiritual land of Canaan, the kingdom of heaven.

    When God started his salvation work for the spiritual Jews 2000 years ago, God came down to this earth in the name of Jesus. As the reality of the Passover lamb he sacrificed himself by shedding his blood to give us the forgiveness of sins and freedom from the slavery of sin and death. This was the reality of the first Passover which came true through the work of Christ in the new covenant. Through the sacrifice of Christ, people of God could receive the freedom from the slavery and start their spiritual journey to the land of Canaan.

    Matthew 26:26 26 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.” 27 Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 28 This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

    The Second Passover: In the Desert

    The Time of Moses

    CANAAN AND PASSOVER–After coming out from Egypt, Moses and Israel people started the journey in the desert for 40 years until they conquered Canaan long time later. During this journey in the desert, the people kept the Passover only two more times. The first one was the Passover they kept in the desert right after they came out of Egypt and the second was the one they kept just before entering Canaan. This two Passovers have also significant meanings behind it.

    After keeping the Passover for the first time in the land of Egypt, Moses and people kept Passover for the second time in the desert in the second year of their exodus.

    Numbers 9:1 The Lord spoke to Moses in the Desert of Sinai in the first month of the second year after they came out of Egypt. He said, 2 “Have the Israelites celebrate the Passover at the appointed time. 3 Celebrate it at the appointed time, at twilight on the fourteenth day of this month, in accordance with all its rules and regulations.” 4 So Moses told the Israelites to celebrate the Passover, 5 and they did so in the Desert of Sinai at twilight on the fourteenth day of the first month. The Israelites did everything just as the Lord commanded Moses.

    After this second Passover, people could not keep the Passover for almost 40 years until the end of their journey when they kept the third Passover at Gilgal on the plains of Jericho.

    CANAAN AND PASSOVER
    Jesus and His Disciples Keeping Passover

    The Time of Christ

    CANAAN AND PASSOVER–This Passover by Moses was also the copy for the Passover which God’s people would keep in the new covenant. After the first Passover of Jesus and his disciples in the upper room of Mark, finally God’s people received the freedom from slavery. After that, the members of the early churches kept the Passover to commemorate Christ’s sacrifice.

    1 Corinthians 11:23 For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.” 25 In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.” 26 For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

    This keeping of the Passover by the saints of the early church was the reality of the second Passover which people of Israel kept in the desert. Just like the Jews who could not keep the Passover for a long time for the rest of their journey in the desert, God’s people could not keep the Passover during the Dark Age. Even though early members of churches kept the Passover, after the abolishment of the Passover in 325 AD people could not keep the Passover for a long time.

    The Third Passover: Entering Canaan

    The Time of Moses

    CANAAN AND PASSOVER–After keeping the Passover in the second year of their journey, the Israelites could not keep the Passover for a long time. Finally, however, they could keep the Passover for the third time on the plain of Gilgal just before they conquered Canaan, the Promised Land.

    Joshua 5:10 On the evening of the fourteenth day of the month, while camped at Gilgal on the plains of Jericho, the Israelites celebrated the Passover. 11 The day after the Passover, that very day, they ate some of the produce of the land: unleavened bread and roasted grain.

    At the end of the journey people of Israel could keep the Passover just before the conquest of Canaan. After this Passover, they could conquer the land and receive their inheritance God promised to them. The Israelites settled into the Promised Land and they could end their journey.

    The Time of Christ

    CANAAN AND PASSOVER–This third Passover of the Israelites is also working as copy and shadow for the reality of the Passover which God’s people would keep at the end of their journey. Just like the Israelites who entered the land of Canaan after the third Passover, the spiritual Israelites God’s people would be able to enter the spiritual Canaan the Kingdom of Heaven after they keep the third Passover.

    After the abolishment of the Passover in the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD, people could not keep the Passover for a long time during the Dark Age. This happened to fulfill what the Israelites did during the long journey in the desert. The Israelites could not keep the Passover for a long time after the second Passover in the Desert of Sinai. In the same way, people could not keep the Passover for a long time since 325 AD.

    Church Of God Keeping Passover

    However, today all over the world the people of God are keeping the Passover. In the churches of God throughout the world saints are keeping the Passover on the 14th day of the first month in the sacred calendar. If we correctly recall what happened to the Israelites, they kept Passover only three times. After the third Passover they enter the Promised Land. Through this story of Israelites as copy and shadow, we must understand the time frame we are living.

    God’s people who could not keep the Passover for about 1600 years are keeping the Passover today as the fulfillment of the third Passover of the Old Testament. Then what does this signify? It means that God’s people are right at the entrance of the spiritual Canaan the Kingdom of Heaven. Very soon the time will be fulfilled when God’s chosen ones would enter the spiritual Canaan Heaven.

    CANAAN AND PASSOVER
    Fall Of Jericho and Passover

    Canaan And Passover

    CANAAN AND PASSOVER–All the saints of the churches of God all throughout the world are keeping the Passover in obedience to the teachings of Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother. This Passover we are keeping is the reality of the Passover which Israelites kept at Gilgal on the plain of Jericho right before their conquest of the Promised Land.

    This signifies that the spiritual Canaan is right in front of us. The Israelites could enter Canaan when they destroyed the wall of Jericho. In the same way, we are spiritually standing in front of the wall of Babylon which is stopping us from entering into the spiritual Canaan the kingdom of heaven. When the Israelites shouted, the wall of Jericho collapsed and they entered Canaan. Spiritually, we are standing in front of the wall of Babylon which is preventing us from enter the kingdom of heaven. But the bible says that it would fall. (Revelation 18:2)

    Now is the time for us to shout aloud to bring the wall of Babylon down. The time is near. Let us work diligently to shout the words of God to the people of the world so that they know the true identity of the Babylon.
