    [WMSCOG] Jerusalem Mother

    Mother In The Creation Of God

    The core teaching of God in the bible is the eternal life we will have in heaven. Therefore, we must have the eternal life promised in the bible. Many people says that they could receive eternal life by the faith in Christ, or through the baptism they received. Many people give many different answers. Then how can we know how to receive the eternal life to go to the kingdom of heaven? The Bible teaches that there is God the Mother, Heavenly Jerusalem who would come to give us eternal life. God said that the physical and visible world on this earth was created to teach the spiritual and invisible world in heaven. Therefore, to understand the spiritual world which we cannot see, first we must look at the physical world we see.

    Revelation 4:11   You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.

    The bible says that this physical world and everything in it were created according to the will of God. Then what is the will of God in creating a mother? In this physical world how is the life given to a child? It is always given through a mother who is the true life-giver in this physical world. Birds, fish, animals, and human beings, even insects give life to its young through mother. And this world was created to show us the invisible world and as in the physical world, in the spiritual world also the spiritual life should be given through the spiritual Mother or God the Mother.

    The source of life on this earth is in a mother. Through this God is teaching about the spiritual Mother who gives us eternal life, that is, God the Mother.

    Then can we find the existence of God the Mother in the bible? Even though it seems to be logical to have a spiritual Mother to give us the spiritual life, it would be absurd and blasphemous to believe in God the Mother if the bible does not testifies about the spiritual Mother. If it does, however, we must believe God the Mother even though we might think differently, right? Then does the bible say that we have God the Mother who can give us the spiritual life? We are so accustomed to the notion of God the Father and we might think it is wrong even to think about God the Mother. But the bible testified about God the Mother even from the beginning just as it testified about the Christ even from the beginning as prophecies. Just as Christ who would come to this earth according to the prophecies, God the Mother would appear to us at the appointed time of God.

    God The Mother In The Creation Of Man

    2000 years ago when Christ appeared, those who did not know or believe the prophecies of the bible rejected Christ and rejected their own salvation because they could not accept the notion of God coming as man, which was against common sense of the time. In the same way, many people who do not know the prophecies would reject God the Mother because the notion of God who exists as female image is contrary to the common sense of today and people might reject God the Mother who appears on this earth to give us salvation. Therefore, we must know God the Mother and accept her if she is testified in the bible. Then what does the bible says about God the Mother? Let us take a look at the beginning, the Book of Genesis to find some testimonies about God the Mother.

    Genesis 1:26   26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

    This verse in the Book of Genesis was a riddle to many biblical scholars because the referents of God, “us” and “our” is contrary to the common sense of God. People says that God is one and then why does the bible use the plural form (us and our) to refer to God? Simply the answer is God is not one (singular), but two (plural). Let us confirm this through the creation of God in Genesis. Even though we cannot see God to find out the images of God because God is spiritual and invisible, God created one physical and visible thing on this earth to teach his invisible image. God created man (or mankind) in the image of God and therefore, to know the image of God we can look at the image of man because man was given God’s image. Then let us look at the creation of man to find out the image of God.

    Genesis 1:27    So God created mankind in his own image,
    in the image of God he created them;
    male and female he created them.

    Mankind who was created in the image of God was created as male and female. Male (Adam) and Female (Eve) were created according to the image of God. Therefore, we can be sure that there should be a male image of God who gave male (Adam) his image and also there must be a female image of God who gave her image to female (Eve). The male image of God has been called God the Father for thousands years by the people who had knowledge of God and then what should the female image of God called? She must be called God the Mother.

    How can we expect life without a mother?

    God The Mother In The Creation Of Adam And Eve

    This can be confirmed through the teachings of Christ too. According to the bible Adam was created to resemble the male image of God and therefore he was created to teach us God the Father who was his original image in heaven. Therefore, Adam represents God the Father. Let us confirm.

    Romans 5:14   Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who is a pattern of the one to come.

    Paul teaches that Adam in Genesis was created to teach us “the one to come” in the future. Then who is the one who was to come in the future? Isn’t it the Christ, who is God coming in the flesh? Since Adam was created as a pattern of Christ, to know Christ we must look at Adam. Through this we can know that God created Adam, a physical man on this earth to teach us the Christ, God the Father who is spiritual and invisible. If then, what is the will of God creating Eve, the wife of Adam? Just as God created Adam to teach us God the Father who would come down to this earth to give us eternal life, God created Eve to show us God the Mother who would come down to this earth as man in the flesh to give us eternal life.

    In this physical world to give life to the children we need father and mother and in the same way, to give eternal life God has been teaching even from the beginning that we need God the Father and God the Mother. And especially, God the Mother is the one who will give life to the children just as physical mother who gives physical life to her children. A father is the one who gives seeds for the life in this physical world and mother is the one who transforms the seed into a life. 2000 years ago Jesus Christ gave the spiritual seeds (the words of God) which will be created into life only through God the Mother at the last day.

    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.

    This is the seeds or the words of God for the eternal life given by God the Father, which will sprout into a new life through God the Mother at the last day. Christ said that the life is given through his flesh and blood. Then what is his flesh and blood? On the night of the Passover, Jesus said that the bread and wine of the Passover represent his flesh and blood and through the Passover we can take part in his flesh and blood to receive the forgiveness and eternal life. But this words of God were given until the time of fulfillment when the true reality of Christ’s flesh and blood revealed to give eternal life.
    According to the bible Adam was created as pattern for God the Father coming as man in the flesh. That was fulfilled by Jesus Christ by coming as spiritual Adam to give us eternal life.

    1 Corinthians 15:45    So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit.

    Jesus came as Adam to give us life and he gave us his flesh and blood for the eternal life. Then what is his flesh and blood that gives us eternal life at the last day? What is the meaning of the Passover? To understand these things, we must look at Adam who was given as pattern for the Christ. Therefore, to find out the meaning of Christ’s flesh and blood we must look at Adam’s flesh and blood. Then what is the secret that is hidden in Adam? What is his flesh and blood?

    Adam and Eve were created according to the invisible image of God. Even though God is invisible, through Adam and Eve God is teaching us that there are two images of God, male and female, that is, God the Father and God the Mother.

    Genesis 2:21     21 So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and then closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. 23 The man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.”

    God created Eve with bones and flesh of Adam. Since a bone represents blood it produces in its marrow, Adam’s bones and flesh mean Adam’s flesh and blood (bone). Then what is the reality of Adam’s flesh and blood? It is Eve. Then what was the will of God in creating Eve?

    Genesis 3:20    Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become the mother of all the living.

    Eve means “life” or “living” and she was created to be the mother who would give life to all the living, or all those who would receive the eternal life. When God said, “I am the God of Abraham, God of Isaac, God of Jacob. I am not the God of the dead, but the God of the living,” the living are not the ones who have physical life on this earth, but the spiritual life in heaven. According to Genesis, however, Eve (Adam’s flesh and blood) was created to give the eternal life. As we have already examined, this story of Adam and Eve was actually a prophecy about Christ or God who was to come as man in the flesh to give us eternal life at the last day.

    God The Mother In The Book Of Revelation

    2000 years ago when Jesus came down to this earth it was not the time for God the Mother to be revealed. That is why he gave the promise of eternal life through the seeds, the words of God until the time when the true reality of his flesh and blood, that is, the last Eve be revealed at the last day. Then when would Eve be revealed who is the Mother of all the living and who can give eternal life to her spiritual children? If we look at the Book of Genesis, the last day of the creation is the sixth day because on the seventh day God finished his creation work and took rest so the last day of the creation is the sixth day. What did God do on the sixth day? First, he created animals and then as the last thing of his creation he created man, Adam and Eve. This six day creation actually represents 6000 years of God’s salvation work. (2 Peter 3:8) And the fact that God created Adam and Eve on the sixth day means that God would come down as spiritual Adam and Eve at the end of his salvation work to give eternal life to God’s people. And this was recorded as the Spirit and the Bride in the Book of Revelation.
    The Book of Revelation shows the things that would happen at the last day and in the last day the second coming Christ (the Last Adam) would come with his bride (the Last Eve) to give eternal life. In other words finally at the last day the reality of the Passover (Christ’s flesh and blood), that is, God the Mother would be revealed so that God’s people would receive eternal life from her.

    Revelation 19:7   Let us rejoice and be glad
    and give him glory!
    For the wedding of the Lamb has come,
    and his bride has made herself ready.
    8 Fine linen, bright and clean,
    was given her to wear.”

    Who is the Lamb? It is the second coming Christ who was to come at the last day, or we can called him the last Adam who is coming to give us eternal life. But when he is coming at the last day, he is not coming by himself, but he is coming with his bride (Adam’s bride or the Last Eve). Many people says that this bride of Christ is God’s people, but this is not true in this context even though it might be true in some other places. Let us confirm by looking at Chapter 21.

    Revelation 21:9    One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.” 10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God.

    The wife of the Christ is the Heavenly Jerusalem who is coming down from heaven at the last day. Jesus said that he came down from heaven 2000 years ago, which meant he came down to this earth as man in the flesh. In the same way, this Heavenly Jerusalem is coming down from heaven at the last day. Then what is the heavenly Jerusalem and how would this come down from heaven?

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

    the Jerusalem above (or in heaven) represents our mother. Just as we have our Father, one spiritual Father in heaven, we have our Mother or one spiritual Mother in heaven. Once God the Father came down to his earth as man in the flesh and also God the Mother (Heavenly Jerusalem) would come down to this earth as man–or more specifically as woman–in the flesh at the last day to give us life. So the Lamb and the Bride in the book of Revelation are actually God the Father and God the Mother who would appear at the end of 6000 years of God’s salvation work to give eternal life. And the bible testifies them as the Spirit and the Bride who is coming to give eternal life.
    “Adam named his wife Eve because she would become the Mother of all the living.” God is God of the living and the living receives life through Eve who represents God the Mother.

    God The Mother Giving Eternal Life

    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 Spirit is the Lamb or God the Father who is coming as the Last Adam to give life. Then who was the Bride? The Bride of Christ is the Heavenly Jerusalem our Mother or the Last Eve who is the true reality of the flesh and blood of Adam and who was to come as the mother of all the living. 2000 years ago, Adam came and he tore his flesh and shed his blood and gave the Passover as promise for the eternal life and finally Christ Ahnsahnghong came down to this earth for the second time to reveal us the reality of his flesh and blood, God the Mother who can give us the eternal life. Through this we must realize the time frame we are living in. We are truly live at the last day on which Jesus promised eternal life 2000 years ago. And now we must accept the Last Adam and Eve, God the Father and Mother who came to us as man in the flesh to give us eternal life. This is the will of God that we should follow: Life is given through a mother physically and spiritually. God the Mother is calling the children to come to receive the eternal life.
    Come to the Spirit and the Bride to receive the water of life!!
  • [WMSCOG] Feet-Washing Ceremony and Temple

    [WMSCOG] Feet-Washing Ceremony and Temple

    Many of the teachings of God are sometimes beyond our comprehension. To destroy the wall of Jericho, God commanded his people to turn around the wall for seven days. To defeat the Median Army, God chose his army by observing how they drink water and gave them trumpets and torches to fight in a war. All these things does not make sense in the human understanding, but when God’s people obeyed him completely, they could see the work done according to the pleasing will of God. Then what about the feet-washing ceremony?

    One of the similar commands of God is the feet-washing ceremony which Jesus practiced with his disciples just before the night of the Passover. It was so much incomprehensible even to the disciples and one of them even almost disobeyed Jesus’ teaching by refusing to have his feet washed during the ceremony. And receiving a warning from Jesus, immediately he let go of his thought and obeyed his teacher. Let us take a look at what happened at that time.

    John 13:1    It was just before the Passover Festival. Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. 2 The evening meal was in progress, and the devil had already prompted Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus. 3 Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; 4 so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. 5 After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.

    Just before the Passover mean with bread and wine, Jesus poured water in a basin and started to wash the feet of the disciples. At that time, Apostle Peter refused to have his feet washed by Christ, thinking that it would be dishonorable for God to wash a sinner’s feet. He had a very respectful and reverent mind toward Jesus Christ and out of humility he did not want his teacher to wash his feet. However, when he realized that his opinion was different from the will of God, he changed his thought on the spot, following God’s commands.

    John 13:6     He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?” 7 Jesus replied, “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.” 8 “No,” said Peter, “you shall never wash my feet.” Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.” 9 “Then, Lord,” Simon Peter replied, “not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!” 10 Jesus answered, “Those who have had a bath need only to wash their feet; their whole body is clean. And you are clean, though not every one of you.”

    Christ washing the feet of the disciples before eating the Passover. What is the meaning of this ceremony?

    When Jesus said that he could not have any part with Christ unless he let Christ wash his feet. He was alarmed because his only wish was to have everything with Christ. That is why he changed his mind as soon as Che knew that he was not acting according to the teachings of God. To teach that it was necessary for him to wash their feet, Jesus said, “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.” This teaching is true to all the incomprehensible teachings of God found in the bible. God was teaching his people the same lesson over and over again, “Even though you don’t understand now, later you would know. Therefore, just for now, obey what I command.” He was asking the first virtue as God’s people, the complete obedience to the words of God.

    Since Peter also realized the fact through the teachings of Christ, he could obey the teachings even though he could not fully understand the meaning of the ceremony at that time. Then what was the meaning of the feet washing ceremony? Why was it so important? Why should it be performed before the Passover? It would be graceful if we obey and have our feet washed before keeping the Passover even though we do not know the meaning of it. And also it would be even more graceful if we know and keep the ceremony. Therefore, now let us know the meaning behind it so that we may completely understand the ceremony and keep the ceremony with firm faith in God.

    Just like all other laws and regulations of God, there was a regulation of feet washing in the Old Testament as copy and shadow which would be fulfilled by Christ in the New Testament.

    Colossians 2:16   Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. 17 These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.

    Paul teaches that all the regulations of the Old Testament was only a copy and shadow and the reality was fulfilled by Christ. Therefore, let us take a look at the regulation of feet-washing in the past as copy and shadow and then find out how it was fulfilled by Christ. If we look at the model of sanctuary in the time of Moses, just before enter into the tabernacle God commanded to put a water basin so that the priest who entered the tabernacle could wash their hands and feet.

    Exodus 30:17   17 Then the Lord said to Moses, 18 “Make a bronze basin, with its bronze stand, for washing. Place it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it. 19 Aaron and his sons are to wash their hands and feet with water from it. 20 Whenever they enter the tent of meeting, they shall wash with water so that they will not die. Also, when they approach the altar to minister by presenting a food offering to the Lord, 21 they shall wash their hands and feet so that they will not die. This is to be a lasting ordinance for Aaron and his descendants for the generations to come.”

    God commanded to set up a water basin on the courtyard of the temple and he commanded the priests to wash their hands and feet before entering the temple.
    God commanded that the priests, before entering the tent to serve God, must wash their hand and feet and otherwise they could be put to death. Therefore, it was a life-or-death regulation to the priests who had to constantly enter the tent day and night to serve God according to the law of God. And the bible says that this regulation in the Past was just a copy and shadow given to us to teach us the reality which can be found in Christ. Then what is the reality of all these? Let us first find out who the priests of God are.

    1 Peter 2:4     As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him— 5 you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. …….9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. 10 Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.

    The bible says that in the New Testament all the people of God are considered as priests of God who must serve God in the tabernacle. And therefore, just as priests must wash their hands and feet before entering the Holy Place and the Most Holy Place, we as priests must enter the Holy Place to serve God and before entering the tent we must also perform the ceremony of feet-washing.

    Then what is the sanctuary at which we can serve God? Since we do not have a physical sanctuary or temple anymore, we must understand this spiritually. Then what is the spiritual temple or the reality of temple? Jesus let us know what the reality of temple is.

    John 2:18    The Jews then responded to him, “What sign can you show us to prove your authority to do all this?” 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?” 21But the temple he had spoken of was his body.

    During the baptism ceremony, Christ Jesus received the Holy Spirit which descended upon his body of temple. For this reason, we can say that the body of Christ worked as the temple of God where the Spirit of God dwells.
    The temple is the place where the Spirit of God dwells. But when Jesus came down 2000 years ago, he put the Spirit of God in his body. Therefore, he called his body a temple because the Spirit of God was dwelling in his body. Through this we can understand the reality of the temple, the body of Christ. Then how can we enter the spiritual temple, the body of Christ to serve God? God gave us one regulation so that we could enter the spiritual temple, his body.

    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. 55 For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. 56 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them.

    What does it mean, “We remain in God and God remain in us”? It means God’s people who ate the flesh and blood of God can spiritually enter into the temple of God to remain in it. Through this we can understand that eating Christ’s flesh and drinking his blood is the ceremony through which we can enter the body of Christ to remain in it. Then how can we eat his flesh and drink his blood? Through the Passover of the new covenant. Therefore, the Passover is the ceremony given to us to enter the spiritual temple the body of Christ to serve God. Then in the Old Testament what should the priests do before entering the temple of God? They should wash their hands and feet. In the same way, since we can enter the spiritual temple of God through the Passover, before the Passover what should we do? We must wash our hands and feet. But Jesus said those who washed already need to wash only their feet.

    John 13:10    Jesus answered, “Those who have had a bath need only to wash their feet; their whole body is clean.

    Then what is the meaning of bath? It is the baptism they should receive before keeping the Passover. In the Old Testament, to keep the Passover all the males must be circumcised in advance. And Paul teaches that the spiritual circumcision is the baptism. Therefore, before the Passover, we must spiritually get circumcised by receiving the baptism. Figuratively Jesus compared the baptism to bath. Since we already took bath through the baptism, we need to wash only our feet.
    Spiritually, the Passover is the ceremony through which we enter into Christ’s body of temple to remain in Christ. That is why Christ taught the disciples to wash their feet before eating the Passover.
    We must now realize the mind of Peter when he said, “not just my feet, but my hands head, too.” How much eagerly he wanted to have a relationship with Christ. God commanded us to have our feet washed and enter his body of temple to be blessed with forgiveness and eternal life. Now we must listen to the teachings of God by getting rid of our own thoughts just like Peter. Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother gave their flesh and blood to lead us into the Most Holy Place of the temple for salvation. Now let us keep the Passover with a thankful mind. It is not late.

  • [WMSCOG] The Will Or Covenant Of God

    [WMSCOG] The Will Or Covenant Of God

    Will of God

    Even though there was a very disobedient son, he would listen to the last words of his dying parents and try to accomplish them. Also, even though there was a person who was seldom listened to while he was living, people would pay attention to his last words. The last words left by a person are considered as something important or even sacred that we should listen to even though the person who are giving those words might be a complete stranger to us. And the bible says that we also might have been a very disobedient son to our spiritual parents, but we must listen to the will or the last words of our spiritual parents to fulfill them.

    Then what is the will of God that we must listen to?

    Hebrews 9:16 In the case of a will (or a covenant), it is necessary to prove the death of the one who made it, 17 because a will is in force only when somebody has died; it never takes effect while the one who made it is living.

    The Old Covenant and the New Covenant

    Old Covenant Made with the Blood of a Lamb

    Here Paul explains about the meaning of a will and shows that it takes effect after the death of the testator. Another word for “will” is a testament and thus the bible itself can be considered as a will since it is called a testament, an Old Testament and New Testament whose testator is God himself. Just as Paul explains, a will or testament can take effect only when the testator died. In the same way, God gave his will with his blood or death to enforce the terms of his will.

    Hebrews 9:18   This is why even the first covenant was not put into effect without blood.

    God proclaimed his will or the covenant for his people to bless them and give them the Promised Land as inheritance. And to make his will set in force the one who made the will or the covenant, that is, God himself must die and to symbolize his death he ordered his people to shed the blood of animals, especially a lamb calling the blood as his own blood to represent his own sacrifice and death.

    Even today the Jews keep the Passover with the sacrifice of a lamb to keep the covenant God gave them through Moses.

    Exodus 34:25    “You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with anything leavened, or let the sacrifice of the Feast of the Passover remain until the morning.

    To the blood of the Passover lamb, God said that it is not just the blood of a lamb, but his own blood he shed to put into effect his will or the covenant he made with his people so that they could receive the full blessings promised in the covenant. Therefore, we can say that the bible is a promissory note God wrote with his own blood and everything in it would take effect according to the terms recorded in it to his people who receives this promise. The Old Testament was the will given to the physical Israelites with the blood of animals to make it effective. But this will was not the reality, but a shadow to teach the reality, that is, the New Testament or the new covenant which would be established with his own blood, not through the blood of animals.

    New Covenant Made with the Blood of Christ, the Lamb of God

    Relation Between the New Covenant and Old Covenant

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

    And also it is written:
     

    Colossians 2:16     Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. 17 These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.

    The old covenant which was made with the blood of animals was only a shadow given to us to teach us the reality, that is, the new covenant which would be put into full effect through the death of Christ by shedding his own blood. The blood of the lamb in the past was given until the time when the Christ who is the reality of the lamb would appear and make a covenant with his people through his own blood. Therefore, the Old Testament was given as shadow to lead us to Christ who would come and give us a New Testament or the new will to give us the true blessings of the forgiveness of sins and eternal life.
    Since the bible itself is the will of God, how much more we should listen to the words of God in the bible. Even when a man makes a will, people listens to it. Then how about the will of God? We must listen to his will and make every effort to make his will come true. That is the way we can also remain in the terms of the covenant to receive the blessings contained in the terms.

    What is the New Covenant by Jesus?

    Then what is the will of God that we should listen to and keep? As we have already seen above, another word which can represent “the will” is the covenant. The covenant and the will means the same in this context. The original Greek word for “will” in Hebrews 9:16 is “διαθήκη diathēkē,” which means covenant or will (or testament). Therefore, by looking at the covenant Jesus made we can know the will of God, his last wish that we must listen to and obey. Then what was the covenant he made with his own blood?
    On the night of the Passover he made a covenant with his disciples and gave his words of promise so that they could receive blessings of the eternal inheritance in heaven. And to make his covenant or will come true, he sacrificed himself by his death on the cross.
     

    Luke 22:15      And he said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.

    And also he says about the Passover they were eating on the night:
     

    Luke 22:19      And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.” 20 In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.

    Jesus came as Lamb of God and sacrificed himself by shedding his own blood and gave us the new covenant or will that we have to keep.

    Passover, the Will of God

    Therefore, the covenant or the will Jesus made with his people was the new covenant of the Passover. After making his will, he died on the cross to put his will in force so that his people who kept the terms of the will would receive blessings promised in the terms. That is why Paul says that Christ was sacrificed as the Passover lamb to fulfill the covenant promised in the Passover.

    1 Corinthians 5:7   Get rid of the old yeast, so that you may be a new unleavened batch—as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.

    Through all these things we can confirm that the will Jesus made with his people 2000 years ago is the words he promised in the Passover. The Passover was the last will of God he wanted us to keep so that we can be blessed by him. Let us confirm that the new covenant of the Passover was the will of God and through the Passover God’s people can receive the eternal inheritance of the heaven as heir of God.
    The will is given to an heir in this world and the heir can inherit the estate in accordance with the terms of the will of the testator. It is the same with the will given by Jesus and confirmed through his death on the cross. His people were cast out from heaven to this earth because of their sins and were destined to die because of the wages of the sins. Their inheritance in heaven was taken away including all the positions given to them as heirs of God and the eternal life they could enjoy in heaven. On this earth, they were living a life of pain and sufferings and they were under the agony of death until the sentence would be carried out. And in this miserable life they had no hope for the eternal life.

    The Last Wish of God, Keeping the New Covenant

    To this gloomy and dark world, Christ came and he took up all our sins. And through his death on the cross he cancelled all our sins and gave us the forgiveness of sins and freedom from the slavery of death granting us eternal life through the new covenant of the Passover. And he opened the way for the heavenly kingdom again so that we could go back to our eternal inheritance as heir of God. All these blessings are promised in the new covenant of the Passover. Therefore, we can conclude that the new covenant of the Passover is the true will of God that we must keep. We must listen to his earnest voice for our salvation.

    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.

    Again and again he is teaching us to keep the new covenant of the Passover and after giving us these words of covenant, he died on the cross right the day after the Passover to put the words of promise in effect. Therefore, the most precious truth that we must keep is the new covenant of the Passover.
    Passover the law of life
    Jesus and His Disciples Keeping Passover

    Restoration of the New Covenant

    Even though Jesus gave his will through his death, the will of God was forgotten by his people by the deceptive works of Satan. Instead of keeping the Passover, Satan deceived people to follow the Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, and all other man-made festivals which contain no promise of God for the blessings. What blessings can we find in Christmas? Is there any promise of the forgiveness of sins or eternal life? No. But people’s eyes and minds are covered up and they do not realize that they are nothing but useless things made by man.
    Now God is teaching us again to open our spiritual eyes and know the truth of the new covenant. To this dark and gloomy world, Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother came to us and now they are teaching us to listen to the terms of the covenant of God so that we can be blessed by God. Even at this moment they are shedding their own blood again to give us the forgiveness of sins and calling us to come back to God leaving the way of sins behind. Now we must gather again on Mount Zion and renew our covenant with God by keeping the new covenant of the Passover which God made with his own blood.

    Psalm 50:1    1 The Mighty One, God, the Lord,
    speaks and summons the earth    from the rising of the sun to where it sets.2 From Zion, perfect in beauty,
    God shines forth.
    3 Our God comes
    and will not be silent;
    a fire devours before him,
    and around him a tempest rages.
    4 He summons the heavens above,
    and the earth, that he may judge his people:
    5 “Gather to me this consecrated people,    who made a covenant with me by sacrifice.”

    Keep the New Covenant

    Those who want to be under the terms of covenant of God must gather together in Zion, the city of God’s festivals and must keep the festivals of God. This is the time of harvest when all the good seeds are gathered together into the heavenly barn. Only those who made covenant with God through the blood of Christ in the Passover can be considered as sons of heaven and they can go back to heaven. Come to Zion, to World Mission Society Church of God (WMSCOG), to the Heavenly Jerusalem, to the City of Living God, to the firstborns of the heaven, to the place where God Elohim grants eternal life to their children.
  • A Story Of A Tree Frog

    In Korea there is a old story of a tree frog.

    The frog was very disobedient to the words of his mother when he was young. When his mother told him to do some work, he would go out and play around doing nothing. He did everything in the opposite way as he had been taught by his mother. If his mother said to go right, he would go left. And if his mother said to do work in the barley field, he would go up a mountain for hunting. He was so much disobedient, and his mother gave up on him.

     

    And when the time came for her to end her life on this earth, she was worried about her tomb. If she told her son to prepare her tomb in the high mountain where there was no danger of flooding, she knew that he would make her tomb near the river and when a heavy rain came, her tomb would have been washed away. After thinking for a long time, she called her son and said to him, “My son, it is time for me to leave now. And I have a wish for you to do after my death. My will is to make my tomb next to the river right behind our home. Then I would be happy.”

    She made this will just before her death, thinking that he would do it in the opposite way making her tomb on the mountain where she wanted him to do. After his mother’s death, the son finally felt sorry for what he had done while his mother was living and he repented of his old ways. And he wanted to make the will of his mother come true by making a tomb next a river where she told him to do. And he buried his mother next to the river and set up a tomb stone.

    But that evening it started to rain. Even the heaven seemed to be sad for the death of the mother frog. It continued to rain several days and the son was alarmed about his mother’s tomb. He was afraid that it might be washed away by the rain. And he started to cry, “Ribbit, Rabbit.” From that time on, when it rains, the frogs cries for the fear that their mother’s tomb might be washed away in the rain: “What should I do, ribbit? My mother’s tomb would be washed away, ribbit?”

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    When I think of this story, I feel sorry for my mother and father and also my spiritual Father and Mother. It seems that the story was given to me to show me how disobedient son I must have been to my parents. I would like to repent when I still have some time.

  • [WMSCOG] Once Your Obedience Is Complete

    God gave his words out of love for the mankind so that they could be protected from the deceiving and evil words of Satan. That is why God teaches complete obedience to the words of God. When we obey the words of God, we can be protected and blessed. But when we disobey his words, we could be easily influenced by the evil scheme of Satan and put into a dangerous situation spiritually. Therefore, we must completely obey the words of God. Then let us find out why we should obey to the words of God through the bible.

    Hebrews 5:8   Son though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered 9 and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him 10 and was designated by God to be high priest in the order of Melchizedek.

    Jesus Christ gave us the perfect example to follow. Even though he was God himself who came as man in the flesh, he showed us the example of obeying to the words of God even to the point of death on the cross. And the bible says that he could be made perfect through the obedience to the words of God. God wants us to be perfect in every way because only those who are perfect can enter the kingdom of heaven. That is why the bible says that we must be created into the image of God. Since God is perfect, thus we must be perfect too to be considered as God’s people.
     
    Matthew 5:48   Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
    Then how can we be made perfect? The bible says that Christ was made perfect through the obedience. Obedience turns us to be a perfect creation who can enter into the kingdom of heaven. Also when we obey the words of God, we can be blessed, but we can be cursed and punished when we disobey the words of God.
     

    Romans 5:19    For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.

    God is creating his people into a new creation and in this creation everybody must be perfect and complete. If one person disobeys the words of God, the disobedience of one man cause pains and sufferings for everyone. And if one man completely obeys the words, through the obedience of one man many can be blessed and receive salvation. Let us think about the disobedience of one man Achan. When God’s people are entering the land of Canaan, the promised land, God commanded his people not to take for himself “devoted things to God” such as silver, gold, bronze articles, or iron.
     
    Joshua 6:17    The city and all that is in it are to be devoted to the Lord. Only Rahab the prostitute and all who are with her in her house shall be spared, because she hid the spies we sent. 18 But keep away from the devoted things, so that you will not bring about your own destruction by taking any of them. Otherwise you will make the camp of Israel liable to destruction and bring trouble on it. 19 All the silver and gold and the articles of bronze and iron are sacred to the Lord and must go into his treasury.”

    But Achan took some devoted things for himself and because of this sin of one man all the Israelites were defeated in a war and suffered a heavy loss. Just because of the disobedience of one man, all the people were put in danger and they could not enter and conquer the Promised Land. Finally when the sin of the one man was punished, they could conquer the city.

    Jonah’s Preaching by Leonaert Bramer

    But also we can see the obedience of one man could bring salvation to everyone in the city. When Jonah was sent to the city of Nineveh, which was a enemy city of Israel, so Jonah became frightened and ran away to another place to save himself. But later he repented and obeyed the words of God and preached his words, to his surprise people of the city–whom he once thought as enemy of Israel–listened to his words and they could be saved from the impending disasters which were proclaimed by God.

    Jonah 3:3 Jonah obeyed the word of the Lord and went to Nineveh. Now Nineveh was a very large city; it took three days to go through it. 4 Jonah began by going a day’s journey into the city, proclaiming, “Forty more days and Nineveh will be overthrown.” 5 The Ninevites believed God. A fast was proclaimed, and all of them, from the greatest to the least, put on sackcloth….10 When God saw what they did and how they turned from their evil ways, he relented and did not bring on them the destruction he had threatened.

    When Jonah completely obeyed the words of God, he could save 120,000 Ninevites from the destruction. One man’s disobedience can bring calamity to everyone, but also one man’s obedience can bring salvation to many. And the bible says all these things are recorded to teach us a lesson. (Romans 15:4) Then what is the lesson that we should learn from the bible? Just like the Israelites who were conquering the land of Canaan to possess it by fighting against the enemies living in there, in the same way the spiritual Israelites or God’s people are waging a war against the enemy Satan to enter into the Promised Land Canaan, the kingdom of heaven. In this spiritual war, one man’s disobedience can bring disasters to everybody just like Achan who stole devoted things from God and punished for his disobedience. Because of the sins of one man all the nation suffered a heavy loss and defeated from the war.

    And also many of the Israelites could not enter the land of Canaan because of their disobedience. Even though 600,000 started journey to the Promised Land, only Joshua and Caleb could enter the land and all other people from the first generation died in the desert as punishment for their disobedience.

    Hebrews 3:16    Who were they who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt? 17 And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies perished in the wilderness? 18 And to whom did God swear that they would never enter his rest if not to those who disobeyed? 19 So we see that they were not able to enter, because of their unbelief.

    Those who disobeyed could not enter the rest in the Promised Land and died in the desert. In the same way, we are also in the middle of journey to the Promised Land for eternal rest in heaven, and when we completely obey the words of God, we can enter the rest prepared by God. When one man disobeys the words of God, the disobedience does not cause sufferings only to the person who committed sin, but it also affect all others who are making the same journey. Because of one man’s disobedience everyone could be punished and the journey could be delayed for everyone. That is why everyone chosen by God into this journey toward the heaven must obey the words of God with one mind as the 144,000 who are prophesied in the bible.
     

    Revelation 14:1    Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads. …….They follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They were purchased from among mankind and offered as firstfruits to God and the Lamb. 5 No lie was found in their mouths; they are blameless.

    According to the bible the main characteristic of the last remnants of God 144,000 is their complete obedience to the words of God: they follow the Lamb (the second coming Christ) wherever he goes. When the obedience of all the people of God becomes complete as it was prophesied in the bible, then they can enter into the land of Canaan, the heaven for the eternal rest promised by God.
     
    We are in the middle of the spiritual war, and we can defeat the enemy Satan and enter the heaven when our obedience becomes complete.
     

    2 Corinthians 10:3     For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 6 And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete.

    When we are not perfect, how can we judge the imperfection of others? God is waiting patiently until our obedience becomes complete. When we completely obey the words of God, He will punish all the people who disobey the words of God, even the Satan. And those who are made perfect through the obedience will be blessed to enter the heaven. We are still in the middle of our journey, and it is not because the enemy is too strong, but because our obedience is not complete. From now on we should completely obey the words of God Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother who are waiting patiently sacrificing themselves for our sins until our obedience is made complete. On that day, we would be able to punish all the lawlessness in this world in the flames of fire, and will enter the eternal rest with our Father and Mother.
     
    Thanks to Heavenly Father Christ Ahnsahnhong and Heavenly Mother New Jerusalem for your patience for these sinners. We know we could be a new creation because of your love for us. We Love You!!
  • [WMSCOG] The One Who We Should Wait For

    The bible is the book which testifies about the Savior who was to come and give us salvation. And the bible teaches us that we should wait for the Christ who is coming in the last days 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.

    The bible says that he would appear again and we must wait for him because he is bringing salvation in the last days. Then who is the Christ who was to appear and give us salvation? How can we recognize him? To answer these questions we have to take a look at the prophecies of the bible and then we can know who the second coming Christ is. Today many people says they are Christians, but they do not have any clue about the Christ who was to come in the last days. Therefore, as people of God who are waiting for his coming let us find out how we can know the Christ who is coming bringing salvation.
     
    To teach us the Christ coming in the last days, God gave one prophecy through the prophet Isaiah.
     

    Isaiah 25:9   In that day they will say,“Surely this is our God;    we trusted in him, and he saved us.This is the Lord, we trusted in him;    let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation.”

    This prophecy is about the last days when God appears to give us salvation. We can confirm this by looking at the time frame of this prophecy. Actually this prophecy is related to the prophecy of Hebrews 9:28. In the King James Version or many other versions of the bible let us know more clearly the meanings of Isaiah 25. Instead of the word “trusted” in the New International Version many other versions replace it with another word, that is, “waited.” Let us take a look at the Easy-To-Read Version.
     

    Isaiah 25:9 At that time people will say,
    “Here is our God!
    He is the one we have been waiting for.
    He has come to save us.
    We have been waiting for our Lord.
    So we will rejoice and be happy when he saves us.”

    In the book of Hebrews it says that we must wait for the Christ who would appear for the second time to bring salvation. That Christ that we were waiting was already prophesied in the book of Isaiah too as the one we have to wait for because he is coming to save us or in other words he is coming to bring salvation. The first coming Christ came to give us the forgiveness of sins and he will appear for the second time not for the sins again but for salvation. Therefore, the prophecies of Hebrews 9:28 and Isaiah 25:9 are actually the same prophecies and we can confirm this by looking more closely at the prophecy of Isaiah 25 which describes more about the characteristics of the Christ who is coming to bring salvation. Let us examine some verses that comes just before the verse 9.
     

    Isaiah 25:6  On this mountain the Lord Almighty will prepare    a feast of rich food for all peoples,a banquet of aged wine—    the best of meats and the finest of wines.

    In this verse we can see where the Christ is coming and what he is doing for the salvation. He is appearing on a certain mountain. Then what is this mountain? If we goes back a little more, in Chapter 24:23 we can see the mountain represents Mount Zion. Then what is Zion? In the Book of Isaiah Chapter 33:20, we can see the Zion is the place where God’s festivals are kept. Therefore, actually Isaiah 25:6 describes about Christ who is preparing a festival of God on the holy mountain of God, Zion. Then what kind of things are used for this festivals of God? Meats and wines. According to the bible there is only one festivals of God which is kept with wine, that is, the Passover. On the Passover night, Jesus gave bread and wine to his disciples which represents his flesh (meats) and his blood (wine). Except the Passover there is no other festivals of God in the bible which is kept with wine. Therefore, this prophecies is about Second Coming Christ’s keeping the Passover with his people with bread and wine. We can confirm this through the next verse.
     
    The verse 7 teaches us the purpose of the festival which is kept with wine. Then why does God give meats and wines in the festivals?
     

    7 On this mountain he will destroy
    the shroud that enfolds all peoples,
    the sheet that covers all nations;
    8     he will swallow up death forever.The Sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears
    from all faces;
    he will remove his people’s disgrace
    from all the earth.
    The Lord has spoken.

    The reason he prepares this festival is to “destroy the shroud and sheet” which cover all the peoples and nations of the world. Then what is this sheet or shroud that covers all the people and thus nobody is free from? It is “death” which nobody can escape from and that influences everybody on this earth. But what happens to “death” when God holds this festival on Mount Zion? It is swallowed up, which means that the power of death is destroyed and it has no influence on people anymore. Since there is no death, those who keep this festival can have eternal life. So ultimately the reason Christ holds this festival is to give eternal life.
     
    We can confirm that this festival is the Passover by looking at a teaching of Christ which he gave 2000 years ago. On the night of the Passover, he gave his flesh and blood through the bread and wine of the Passover. And he taught the reason which his disciples should receive the bread and wine of the Passover. All the people on this earth are under the pain and agony of death without exception because of their sins they committed in heaven. But through his flesh and blood Christ gave “the forgiveness of sins.”
     

    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, 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 reason he gave the Passover wine was to give the sinners the forgiveness of their sins. Since their sins are forgiven, the wage of the sin, death penalty is cancelled too. Since there is no death anymore for the one who received the blood of Christ through the Passover bread and wine, they can have eternal life, the salvation of soul.
     

    John 6:54   Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.

    By keeping the Passover, we can participate in the flesh and blood of the Christ and through the flesh and blood of the Christ we can receive eternal life. Therefore, we can confirm that the festival of God in the Book of Isaiah Chapter 25 which has the power to destroy the death forever is actually the Passover.
     
     
     
    And finally now we must know about the time frame of this prophecy. According to the bible, Christ would appear twice. Then is this prophecy about the first coming Christ or the second? The clue is in the verse 6 which describes the things Christ bring to give us salvation. According to this verse, what kind of characteristic does the wine have? The bible says Christ is preparing the feast with “aged” wine. Aged wine is the wine which should be stored for a long time so that it could be fermented to have good flavor. Then was the wine of the Passover Christ gave to this disciple “an aged wine”? No, we cannot consider it as an aged wine. Until the Christ time, Jews kept the Passover with the blood of lambs in the Old Testament. When Christ came 2000 years, he changed the Passover regulation by keeping with wine which represents the blood of Christ, the true Passover Lamb. Christ kept the Passover with wine for the first time and therefore we can say that wine of the Passover which Christ used 2000 years ago was a new wine.
     
    But what happened to the Passover? In the early church the Passover was kept until 325 AD, but it was abolished through the order of Emperor Constantine in 325 AD in the Council of Nicaea. Since then nobody could keep the Passover and nobody could receive the forgiveness of sins and eternal life. The Passover wine was hidden from people until Christ Ahnsahnghong started to preach the new covenant of the Passover from 1948 after he started his ministry. From 325 to 1948, for about 1600 years the wine of the Passover was stored in a secret place until it was opened again by Christ Ahnsahnghong. Then can we call this wine of the Passover which was given by Christ Ahnsahnghong “an aged wine”? Yes, 1600 year old wine is a truly aged wine. So the prophecy is about the Passover which would be kept in the last days by the second coming Christ and his disciples.
     
    Through this Chapter in Isaiah God already let us know everything about Christ: Where he was to appear, what he would do to bring salvation, and what is the sign he would bring. And finally, the verse 9 tells us the true identity of the one who was to come bringing the Passover to give us salvation.
     

    Isaiah 25:Isaiah 25:9   In that day they will say,
    Surely this is our God;    we trusted in him, and he saved us.
    This is the Lord, we trusted in him;
    let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation.”

    The one who is bringing the new covenant of the Passover is actually God himself who comes to save us in the last days by restoring and bringing back the bread and wine of the Passover which had been taken away by the work of Satan. And this is the one who we have to wait for for our salvation. Through this prophecy we can know that he must establish Zion, the city of festivals, and he must bringing the new covenant of the Passover to destroy the power of death and give us eternal life. Then who fulfilled this prophecy by restoring the new covenant which had been long abolished by Satan? It was Christ Ahnsahnghong. He established Zion, the city of David and gave us all the festivals of God including the Passover. And through his precious flesh and blood, he opened the way to the eternal life again, so that we can receive salvation. Then who is Christ Ahnsahnghong? He is the God that we had to wait for.
     
    Once we were under the agony of death because of our sins, but Christ Ahnsahnghong restored the Passover and gave us eternal life again by swallowing up death forever. Therefore, now as the Scripture says, “Let us rejoice and be glad” for the salvation he brought us and keep the Passover until the end. And also let us teach the Passover to those who are waiting for the Christ so that they can receive salvation too.
     

    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.

    Let us proclaim the salvation of Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother Jerusalem till the end!!
  • [WMSCOG] Six Day Creation: Introduction

    [WMSCOG] Six Day Creation: Introduction

    Meaning of Six Day Creation
    Creation of Adam

    The Meaning  Of Six Day Creation–The first chapter of the Book of Genesis speaks about the creation work of God and many people dismiss this chapter because scientifically or realistically many parts of the chapter do not match one another and do not make sense even in terms of the common senses.

    Figurative and Parabolic Meaning In Genesis

    Then what causes problems in understanding this Book of Genesis? God is perfect, and thus his words must be perfect. But why are there so many misunderstandings about the book? The problem is that the book just like all other books of the bible cannot be understood with common sense of man because it is intrinsically written in a figurative language.

    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.”

    The Meaning  Of Six Day Creation–What Jesus did 2000 years ago was to reveal the hidden things since the creation of the world. But since the creation of the world is recorded in the Book of Genesis, it means the Book of Genesis contains hidden things that must be revealed. It means the book cannot be understood in the literal sense, but must be understood in a figurative sense. In other words, just like all other words of God in the bible the book itself is a parable. Then how should we understand the book?

    Some Obvious Contradictions in the Book of Genesis

    Creation of Light

    First, let us think about some of the contradicting parts in the book when it was interpreted literally. The most conflicting part is the day one and the day four when God is creating the light. In the Day One, God created light:

    Genesis 1:3   And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.”

    The Meaning  Of Six Day Creation–What is the light that gives light to day? It is the sun. Therefore, if we understand this Day one literally, we must say God created the sun on the first day. But in Day Four, God created another sun which does not make sens at all in the physical term.

    Genesis 1:16    God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars.

    The Meaning  Of Six Day Creation–Logically, what would be “the greater light to govern the day” which was created by God on the fourth day? Isn’t it the sun? Then are there two suns in our solar system? Scientifically, it is false to say there are two suns in the solar system. That is why people say that the creation in Genesis does not make sense at all.

    The True Meaning of Light

    Then how should we understand this? We must interpret the book figuratively. Then what is the light which was created on the first day? About this Paul let us know the figurative meaning behind it.

    2 Corinthians 4:6    For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.

    The Meaning  Of Six Day Creation–Paul quotes from the verse 3 of Genesis Chapter 1 and explains the meaning of the light. The light created on the first day is the light of the knowledge of God or the light of gospel that shone on the heart of people who accepted the gospel. Before the creation the world was in the complete darkness and there was no knowledge of God at that moment.
    But for the first time in human history, to Adam and Eve God revealed himself and let them know the true God who could give salvation through the knowledge of God. That knowledge of God that gives salvation appeared for the first time to human being and it was described as light figuratively. Also the light which was created on Day Four is also figurative lights. Then what are the lights that was created on the fourth day?

    Psalm 119:105   Your word is a lamp for my feet,
    a light on my path.

    What is the light in a figurative sense? It is the words of God. So on the fourth day, what was created God were actually two words of God: the Old Testament in the time of Moses and the New Testament in the time of Jesus.

    Creation of Mankind

    The Meaning  Of Six Day Creation–Let us take a look at another example which cannot be understood in the worldly viewpoint. The first man created by God were Adam and Eve and later they had sons, Cain and Abel. Out of hatred Cain killed Abel and at that moment, logically how many people should exist on the earth? Three, Adam, Eve and Cain. But right after Cain killed Abel, he was banished from the place he was living. But he was afraid of PEOPLE that might kill him when he left his hometown.

    Genesis 4:13     Cain said to the Lord, “My punishment is more than I can bear. 14 Today you are driving me from the land, and I will be hidden from your presence; I will be a restless wanderer on the earth, andwhoever finds me will kill me.”

    There should be only three of them at that moment, but surprisingly there are many living around them and after this verse Cain surprises us again by marrying a woman that should never be there at that moment.

    Genesis 4:17    Cain made love to his wife, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch.

    The Meaning  Of Six Day Creation–Where is his wife from? Through all these things what we can understand is there were people living around the three of them already. The earth was not empty of people at the moment, but the bible itself shows that there were many people living around Adam and Eve. Then who were their contemporaries? Why are they not included the creation work of God? Why does the bible describe only Adam and his family as man, not others?

     How to Correctly Understand Genesis

    Figurative Meaning Of Mankind

    To understand this mystery we must understand the figurative meaning behind the word ‘man’ in the bible. Biologically many people were living on this earth at the time, but spiritually only three of them were considered as man in the eyes of God. Then who are man spiritually? Man are those who have the knowledge of God. When God shone his light, it was shone to Adam and his family and they came to have the knowledge of God. And they were considered as man spiritually.
    Then what about other people who did not have the knowledge of God who did not receive the light of gospel at the moment? They were not man in the spiritual sense? Then what were they? Jesus compares them to a pig or dog. In other words they are considered as animals in God’s eyes. When Peter saw a sheet that contained a lot of different unclean animals in a vision, he interpreted the meaning like this:

    Acts 11:18    When they heard this, they had no further objections and praised God, saying, “So then, even to Gentiles God has granted repentance that leads to life.”

    Man and Animal

    The Meaning  Of Six Day Creation–Those unclean animals or Gentiles also could receive the words of God and came to have the knowledge of God as Jews. When they have the light of knowledge of God, the animals could be changed into man and accepted as man. So those people who were living along with Adam and Eve could not be categorized as man in those days since they were not allowed to have the knowledge of God like Adam and Eve. These are just a few examples from the book, and actually all the contents of the book must be understood figuratively. Then how can we understand the book?

     Figurative Explanation About Six Day Creation

    The Six-Day Creation in the book is 6000 years of God’s salvation work in the spiritual sense. The bible teaches a day can be calculated as a 1000 years so according to this system 6 days are actually 6000 years. Then when was the starting point? It was the moment when God revealed himself to Adam and Eve. When he revealed his identity to man for the first time in human history, that was the moment he started his salvation work. So according to this creation work, the sixth day is the last day when God finished his work.
    The spiritual meaning is that God will work for the salvation for 6000 years from the time of Adam and he will finish his work of salvation after 6000 years. Therefore, we can say that Chapter 1 of Genesis is actually the blueprint for God’s salvation work and he was fulfilling all the creation work according to this plan.

    Six Day Creation as Contents of the Bible

    We can confirm this through the words of Prophet Isaiah.

    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.’

    The Meaning  Of Six Day Creation–He already foretold the end even from the beginning and therefore if we want to know about the end of God’s salvation work we must take a look at the beginning. Then what book is concerned with the beginning? It is the Book of Genesis. The book was a plan for God’s salvation and God is working according to his plan in the book of Genesis. Then let us find out the meanings of each day one by one so that we can understand the true meaning behind the book. And we can be sure that the Spirit and the Bride are actually our Savior who is coming in the last day of the creation, Our Father and Our Mother.
    All these teachings are coming from God Ahnsahnhong and Our Mother Heavenly Jerusalem. Let us give thanks to God Elohim for giving us the light of the knowledge of God to us Gentiles who were like animals and and making us man who can receive salvation.
  • [WMSCOG] When Would God The Mother Appear?

    [WMSCOG] When Would God The Mother Appear?

    Who is our Savior in our time? The bible prophesies that God the Mother would appear to give salvation. Let us first look at the teaching of Christ. Jesus said that the bible is the book given to us to teach us the Christ or Savior who was to come to give us salvation. Therefore, we must realize the Savior through the bible.

    John 5:39 You study] the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me, 40 yet you refuse to come to me to have life.

    Jesus Christ and Bible Prophecies

    The bible is the book that testifies about the Christ. It let us know when he would come, in what form he would come, what kind of sign he would bring so that we can recognize him, where he would come… All these things are already recorded in the bible as prophecies and they have been accomplished at God’s appointed times exactly as it was recorded in the bible. If we take a look at Christ’s coming 2000 years, He appeared fulfilling all the prophecies of the bible such as his coming as Adam, Moses, David.

    He was born at Bethlehem according to the prophecy and he was raised at Galilee according to the prophecy. Even from the beginning to the end his life itself was the fulfillment of all the prophecies of the bible. Even his sacrifice itself was done according to the bible. When God came down to this earth in a human form, he could have been feared and worshiped by people. But in reality he was rejected, hated, and crucified and all these happened to fulfill the prophecies of the bible.

    Prophecies of the Appearance of God the Mother

    Then how about our Mother’s appearance on this earth? Our Mother’s appearance is also recorded in the bible. God the Mother who was to come as Christ in a female form is also recorded in the bible and it would be fulfilled at God’s appointed time. Therefore, we must understand the prophecies of the bible to recognize our Savior who is coming as woman on this earth.

    Those who did not understand the prophecies of the bible rejected Christ Jesus and they could not receive salvation. It is the same with Christ Ahnsahnghong and our Mother who would appears as Christ as male and female in the last days. If we do not recognize them just because they appeared as man in the flesh, we would not receive salvation. Then let us take a look at one prophecy about Mother and find out when she was to appear according to the prophecies of the bible.

    Secrets Hidden in Genesis

    The Book of Genesis speaks about the creation work of God. But if we tried to interpret the six-day creation literally, many of the things does not make sense. Many scientist says that the modern human first appeared about 200,000 years ago, but the bible says the first man Adam appeared 6000 years ago. How about the animals? Animals were created far earlier than human beings. Scientifically even some dinosaur appeared around 200 million years ago. That is why people says the bible is not true and has many errors. All these misunderstanding arise because people failed to understand that the bible is written in figurative language and thus it cannot be understand in a literal sense. If the six-day creation is not describing a fact, then what is the meaning behind it? How can we understand the true meaning?

    How to Understand Genesis

    Since the bible is composed by its own inherent characteristics, we must use the bible itself to understand its meaning. Since symbolic meaning of a certain object varies depending on the literary work it is used, it must be understood by studying the work itself and we cannot get the true meaning of the symbol if we try to find the meaning from outside the work. It is the same with the bible. The bible has its own symbolic system and thus it could be understood correctly when we try to find the answer from inside the bible.

    Meaning of the Six-Day Creation

    Therefore, the six-day creation must be understood by comparing other verses of the bible, not through sources from outside. Then what is the six-day creation? How should we understand this? First, we must understand that the concept of time is different from everyday concept of time in the bible. For example, one day in the bible could be understood as one year according to a context.

    Ezekiel 4:6   “After you have finished this, lie down again, this time on your right side, and bear the sin of the people of Judah. I have assigned you 40 days, a day for each year.

    Numbers 14:34   For forty years—one year for each of the forty days you explored the land—you will suffer for your sins and know what it is like to have me against you.

    Through this we can understand that a day can be considered as one year in the prophecies of the bible. Also one day can be calculated as one thousand years in the bible.

    2 Peter 3:8    But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.

    God’s Plan for Salvation in Genesis

    The bible says that a day can be considered as 1000 years in the eyes of God. Then what is the six-day creation? It can be thought as 6 year creation work or 6000 years of creation work. Then which is correct? After the creation work is over, God took rest on the 7th day. If it is just 6 year creation work, then all of us must be in the eternal rest in heaven. But we are still hear on this earth.

    Through this we can understand the six-day creation, actually represent six thousand years of God’s creation work. Then when did the creation work start? It started from the Book of Genesis which goes back to the time of Adam about six thousand years ago. Then when does the creation work end? It is on the sixth day when God created Adam and Eve. Adam and Eve was the last creation of God and he finished all the work he had been doing and took rest on the seventh day.

    Meaning of the Creation of Adam

    Then who does Adam represent?

    Romans 5:14    Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who is a pattern of the one to come.

    Prophetically, Adam was created to teach us “the one to come” or Christ who was to come. That was partly fulfilled by Christ who came as Adam to give us life.

    1 Corinthians 15:45   So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit.

    Jesus came as opposite pattern of first Adam to give us life. And he gave us his flesh and blood to give us ‘life’ through the Passover of the new covenant.

    Second Coming Christ Appearing as Last Adam

    But according to the prophecies of the bible the same Jesus who appeared as Adam 2000 years ago must appear as Adam at the end of the creation work of God because God created Adam on the six-day or in other words the last day of the creation work. Then why should Adam appear for the second time in the last days? It was because some of the prophecies of the bible about Adam was not fulfilled completely 2000 years ago. Then what prophecy was not fulfilled? It can be found in another creation work of God on the sixth day, that is, Eve. Eve was also created on the sixth day.

    Genesis 2:22   Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.

    Creation of Eve

    How was Eve created? She was created with Adam’s rib bone and some flesh around the bone. That is why Adam said about Eve that she is his bone and flesh. In other words, Eve was Adam’s flesh and blood. (Since blood is produced by the marrow inside bones, bones can signify the blood.) So the reality of Adam’s flesh and blood was Eve. But when Jesus came as Adam 2000 years ago, he did not reveal Eve.

    What is the meaning of the creation of Eve?

    It was not the appointed time of God for Eve to be revealed and that is why Jesus simply gave his disciples bread and wine of the Passover which represented his flesh and blood which was given as temporary measure for the salvation until the day when the true reality of Adam’s flesh and blood be revealed to give life to the children. Eve, Adam’s true flesh and blood means life semantically. A Latin word Eve which was originated from a Hebrew word Hawwah originally means living being or life. So the reality of life Jesus wanted to reveal through the Passover was the Last Eve who could give eternal life to the children.

    Last Adam and Last Eve

    In the last days, when Adam is coming again, he must come with his true flesh and blood, that is, his wife Eve. The Book of Revelation which speaks about the end of the creation work of God teaches us that the second coming Christ is coming with his wife. That is, Adam and his wife Eve are appearing together in the last days.

    Revelation 19:7   Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory!
    For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready. 8 Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear.”

    The Lamb is Christ who is coming as Adam in the last days, and finally his bride is also coming together. Then what is the purpose of their coming together? To give us eternal life.

    Revelations 22:17  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.

    Eternal Life through God the Mother

    They are coming together to give the water of life or eternal life. According to this prophecy or all other prophecies, our Mother must appear as the wife of the Lamb our Father and She will give us the eternal life just as physical mother gives life to children. That is why Hawwah or life must appear in the last days to fulfill the prophecies of the bible.

    Now as fulfillment of all the prophecies of the bible Christ Ahnsahnghong our Father came as the Last Adam and He revealed to us his true flesh and blood, the Last Eve our Mother who can give us eternal life. She is the last mystery in the bible that we must know to receive salvation. Jesus said these are the Scriptures that testifies about me. The bible is the book that teaches us the Christ or God coming as man in the flesh. But the same bible teaches that in the last days God will appear as both man and woman, as Father and Mother to give us life. Let us accept Adam and Eve who came to give us life. Amen.

  • [WMSCOG] The Tree Of Life And Ten Commandments

    In Genesis, God created the Garden of Eden and planted the Tree of Life in the middle and He gave free access to the tree to Adam and Eve so that they could eat from the tree and have eternal life. But when they ate from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, disobeying the words of God, they could not eat from the Tree of Life and they could not live forever. This is how death enter into the human being.

    The Tree of Life

    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.” 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.

    Because of their sin, Adam and Eve was driven out from the Garden and they were not allowed to eat from the Tree of Life. To stop the sinner from eating the tree of life, God place angels and a flaming sword to guard the way. After this they were destined to die since they could not eat from the tree of life. And the bible says that this story is not just a story of Adam and Eve, but it tells what happened to all human beings on this earth who were destined to die just like Adam and Eve. Therefore, if we could eat somehow from the tree of life, we can live forever. Then how can we find the tree of life and how can we disarm the angels and flaming sword to enter into the garden to eat from the tree of life?

    First, we must understand that this story of the Garden of Eden is just a parable. No where on this earth can we find a actual place which is called the Garden of Eden. Therefore, first we must understand this figuratively. Then in reality what is the tree of life that we must eat to live forever? It is the words of God, the Ten Commandments. God gave the Ten Commandments as the reality of the tree of life so that people can eat and live forever.

    Tree of life
    Moses’ Ten Commandments

    The Reality of the Tree of Life

    Jesus said that the true bread is the words of God.

    Matthew 4:4   Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”

    God gave his words so that people could eat and they could live forever when they kept the words.

    Ezekiel 20:11   I gave them my decrees and made known to them my laws, by which the person who obeys them will live.

    We can confirm this through the sanctuary in the Old Testament. God gave the Israelites the Ten Commandments or the words of God so that people who obeyed them could live by them. And He commanded Moses to put the two stone tablets of the Ten Commandments in the Most Holy Place of the Temple in the Ark of the Covenant under the Wings of the two cherubim.

    Exodus 25:17   “Make an atonement cover of pure gold—two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide. 18 And make two cherubim out of hammered gold at the ends of the cover. 19 Make one cherub on one end and the second cherub on the other; make the cherubim of one piece with the cover, at the two ends. 20 The cherubim are to have their wings spread upward, overshadowing the cover with them. The cherubim are to face each other, looking toward the cover. 21 Place the cover on top of the ark and put in the ark the tablets of the covenant law that I will give you. 22 There, above the cover between the two cherubim that are over the ark of the covenant law, I will meet with you and give you all my commands for the Israelites.

    God commanded Moses to make an atonement cover to put on the ark of the covenant which contained the Ten Commandments. And he said he would sit enthroned on the cover between the cherubim and that is why this cover was once called “a mercy seat” or “the throne of God.” Moses made this atonement cover in accordance with the commands of God and put the ark and cover in the Most Holy Place with the two stone tablets in the ark of covenant.

    Then why did God command Moses to make a two cherubim on either side of the atonement cover? What were the cherubim doing? God gave the Ten Commandments as the reality of the tree of life so that people could eat and live forever. But not everybody could enter into the Most Holy Place behind the curtain and get near to the tree of life, the Ten Commandments. If sinners tried to enter into the Most Holy Place and eat from the words of God, they could be killed as we can see in many places in the bible. (1 Samuel 6:19, 2 Samuel 6:6)

    Leviticus 10:1   Aaron’s sons Nadab and Abihu took their censers, put fire in them and added incense; and they offered unauthorized fire before the Lord, contrary to his command. 2 So fire came out from the presence of the Lord and consumed them, and they died before the Lord.

    When the two sons of Aaron the high priest tried to enter into the Most Holy Place which was contrary to the command of God, they were immediately put to death by fire. Why did this happen? It was because the two cherubim and the flaming sword was guarding the way to the ark of the covenant in the Most Holy Place. Through this God was teaching us that the reality of the tree of life is actually the Ten Commandments and the cherubim on the ark of the covenant was the same cherubim guarding the way of the tree of life in the garden of Eden. Therefore, we can confirm that the Ten Commandments or the words of God was given as the tree of life so that we can eat and live forever.

    Tree of Life
    Why did God command Moses to fashion Cherubim on either end of the atonement cover?

    How To Eat From The Tree of Life

    However, the tree of life was guarded by cherubim and a flaming sword and a sinner could be put to death if he tried to enter into the garden to eat from the tree. Therefore, the tree of life was useless to them since they could not eat from it. In the same way, the Ten Commandments was given as tree of life, but it is useless to a sinner because he could be killed as soon as he tries to enter the Most Holy Place. Then why did God give something that is meaningless to a sinner? Did the work of God for the salvation fail because no sinner can eat from the tree of life and everybody is a sinner and nobody can eat from the tree of life? In conclusion, the work of God is not meaningless. Every single thing in God is important and given to us for our salvation. If then, how can we enter into the Most Holy Place and receive eternal life promised in the Ten Commandments? The answer is the law of God given along with the Ten Commandments. A sinner cannot enter into the Most Holy Place to eat from the tree of life, but when the sinner was forgiven of his sins, then he could enter and eat from the tree of life.

    When Aaron’s two sons tried to enter into the Most Holy Place by their own opinions, they got killed, but God allowed the access to the inner room when a priest was purified of their sins through the blood of animals on the Day of Atonement.

    Leviticus 16:1   The Lord spoke to Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron who died when they approached the Lord. 2 The Lord said to Moses: “Tell your brother Aaron that he is not to come whenever he chooses into the Most Holy Place behind the curtain in front of the atonement cover on the ark, or else he will die. For I will appear in the cloud over the atonement cover. …3 “This is how Aaron is to enter the Most Holy Place: He must first bring a young bull for a sin offering[a] and a ram for a burnt offering. ….6 “Aaron is to offer the bull for his own sin offering to make atonement for himself and his household. …..11 “Aaron shall bring the bull for his own sin offering to make atonement for himself and his household, and he is to slaughter the bull for his own sin offering. 12 He is to take a censer full of burning coals from the altar before the Lord and two handfuls of finely ground fragrant incense and take them behind the curtain. 13 He is to put the incense on the fire before the Lord, and the smoke of the incense will conceal the atonement cover above the tablets of the covenant law, so that he will not die.

    God allowed a sinner to enter into the Most Holy Place to eat from the tree of life only when his sins were forgiven through the blood of animals. And also God said not to enter whenever he wanted to enter, but he must enter according to the laws and regulations of God. When God gave the Ten Commandments, God also gave them a guideline to let them know how and when to enter into the Most Holy Place to eat from the tree of life.

    Deuteronomy 31:24   After Moses finished writing in a book the words of this law from beginning to end, 25 he gave this command to the Levites who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord: 26 “Take this Book of the Law and place it beside the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God.

    Right next to the ark which had the Ten Commandments or the tree of life was placed the Book of the Law. What was this book of the law and why was it place along with the ark? It was because this Book of Law was given to teach them how to enter into the Most Holy Place and eat from the Tree of Life so that they could live forever. Then what was recorded in the book? What was the law given along with the Ten Commandments?

    Exodus 34:27   27 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write down these words, for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.” 28 Moses was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights without eating bread or drinking water. And he wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant—the Ten Commandments.

    The covenant or the Ten Commandments was given according to “these words.” Then what are these words? If we read some verses right before verse 27, we can see the festivals of God. From verse 18 of the same chapter up to verse 26 God is speaking about the festivals such as Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Tabernacles. And he said in accordance with the law of feasts, he made the covenant with his people and as the sign of covenant he gave the two stone tablets. Therefore, the law which was given along with the Ten Commandments or the tree of life was actually festivals of God. In the Old Testament all the festivals of God was kept with animal sacrifices by shedding the blood of animals for the purification of sins. In short, a sinner cannot enter into the Most Holy Place for the tree of life, but when the sinner was forgiven of his sins through the blood of animals according to the regulations of the festivals, they could enter and eat from the tree of life.

    Spiritual Fulfillment

    It is the same with us who are living in the New Testament. We also can enter into the Most Holy Place and eat from the tree of life through the blood of Christ who is the reality of the animal sacrifice.

    Heb 10:19   Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body

    Through the sacrifice of Christ our sins can be purified and we can enter into the inner room and eat from the tree of life. Then how and when can we be purified of our sins? Through God’s appointed times, the Festivals of God. Once the festivals of God was abolished by the work of Satan and no sinner could eat from the tree of life, but now Christ Ahnsahnghong brought back all the festivals of God and opened the way to the Most Holy Place through his blood. And he also let us know the true reality of the Most Holy Place and the ark of covenant, that is, Our Mother who is the true source of water of life. We must come to Zion, the city of festivals and keep all the festivals and then we can eat from the tree of life. The World Mission Society Church of God is the only place which was established by Christ Ahnsahnghong. Come to Zion and Father and Mother will forgive our sins and give us eternal life. Amen.
