    The Mystery of God

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

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

    The Disclosure of The Mystery of God

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

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

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

    What is the Mystery of God?

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

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

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

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

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

    Man Moses and Man Jesus

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

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

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

    The Christ, Mystery of God

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

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

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

    Behold, The Man

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Divinity Hidden in the Flesh

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

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

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

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

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

    Mystery of God in the Last Day

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

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

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

    The Second Coming Christ, Mystery of God

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

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

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

    The Sign of The Man Christ

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

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

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

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

    “Behold, the man!”

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

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

    Abraham’s Family History And God’s Salvation Work

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

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

    Some Stories Contained In The Genesis

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

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

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

    The Interpretation Of The Family History Of Abraham

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

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

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

    Who Does Abraham Represent?

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

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

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

    Abraham and God

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

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

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

    The Son of Abraham, Isaac

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    The Meaning of Jacob or Israel

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

    Gathering Of the 12 Tribes Of Israel

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

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

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

    The Signs of the Appearance of Jacob

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Second Coming Christ Appearing As Jacob

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

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

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

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

  • [WMSCOG] Passover The Tree Of Life

    [WMSCOG] Passover The Tree Of Life

    Secrets Hidden In Parable

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

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

    Jesus’ Teachings: The Key To Understand The Parable

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

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

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

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

    The Tree Of Life In Genesis

    The First Sin And the Death Through Sin

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

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

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

    Eternal Life For The Sinners

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

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

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

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

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

    The Interpretation On The Parable Of Tree Of Life

    The Figurative Language That Contains Secrets

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

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

    The Tree Of Life In The Teachings Of Jesus

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

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

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

    The Way To Eat Christ’s Flesh And Blood

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

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

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

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

    Passover the tree of life
    Jesus and His Disciples Keeping Passover

    Passover the Reality of the Tree Of Life

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

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

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

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

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

    Abolishment and Restoration Of The Passover

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

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

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

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

  • Hidden Manna and Salvation

    Hidden Manna and Salvation

    Hidden Manna And Salvation–The bible says that people of God who are living in the life of agony and death will receive salvation and go to the heavenly country. For this reason, as people of God we have to know who our God the Savior is and how does He give us salvation.

    To understand the work of salvation of God we have to have the knowledge of the bible. And the bible says God gives his people salvation through the manna, the bread from heaven.

    Manna, Bread From Heaven

    Hidden Manna And Salvation–When the Israelites were walking in the desert for 40 years, they were lacking nothing. It is unbelievable considering the number of people who were walking in the desert. Since patriarchs were 600,000, the number of people including all other family members could have been easily over 2 million. How could they survive in the desert?

    At the beginning of the journey, when the Israelites cried out to God for the lack of water and food, God promised them that He would “rain down bread from heaven” that they may live on it. They named the bread “manna.” (Ex 16:4, 31)

    Nehemiah 9:15  In their hunger you gave them bread from heaven and in their thirst you brought them water from the rock; you told them to go in and take possession of the land you had sworn with uplifted hand to give them.

    Manna means “bread from heaven” which God gave the Israelites in the desert so that they can feed on it. Through this bread they could gain life in the desert. God called this manna as “glory of the Lord,” (Ex 16:7) because God was giving them life or salvation in the desert.

    Spiritual Manna, True Bread From Heaven

    Hidden Manna And Salvation–The bible says that what was done in the Old Testament was a copy and shadow which foreshadowed what would be done in the New Testament. Just as there are physical Israelites, there are also the spiritual Israelites. (Rom 2:28) The physical Jews walked in the physical desert. Their life was hard and difficult because many things were lacking. In the same way, as spiritual Jews we are living in the spiritual desert of faith where we face hardships and difficulties all the time.

    In the life of desert, God gave Israelites manna, bread from heaven for their life. And the bible teaches that God would give spiritual manna to us who are living in the life of faith in the spiritual desert. Then what is the spiritual bread that we must eat to receive salvation? And who is the one who can give the spiritual manna for our salvation? In the desert, manna was the representation of the glory of God. Also God said that he would not yield his glory to anyone. (Isa 42:8) Therefore, the only one who can show the glory of God is only God himself. This means that it is only God who can give manna (the glory of God) to people.

    Jesus Giving Spiritual Manna

    Hidden Manna And Salvation–Then who gave the spiritual manna to the people of God? 2000 years ago, Jesus came down to the people of God and gave them manna for their salvation. In the Book of John, Jesus taught his disciples that he is the bread from heaven or manna that they must eat to receive life. Jews of the time sought a sign from Jesus so that they could know that he was the Messiah or Savior. As the sign of Savior, specifically, they asked him to give them “the bread from heaven” that could give them life.

    In answer to their request, Jesus taught them that he could give them manna the true bread from heaven that would give them eternal life.

    John 6:32 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”…..35 Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. … 49 Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died. 50 But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which anyone may eat and not die. 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”

    Hidden Manna And Salvation
    Jesus’ flesh and blood, Spiritual Manna

    Bread From Heaven For Eternal Life

    Hidden Manna And Salvation–Jesus said that he is the bread from heaven and whoever ate the bread would live forever. And also he taught them how to eat the bread from heaven, the spiritual manna.

    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.

    Through these teachings of Jesus Christ, we can know that he was the spiritual manna the bread from heaven. And by eating his flesh and blood, we can eat manna for the spiritual life. As we have seen in many other different places, the only way we can eat his flesh and drink his blood is the Passover bread and wine. The Passover is actually the ceremony of eating spiritual manna for the eternal life in heaven. And Jesus was God himself who came down to this earth to shine the glory of salvation through the spiritual manna. (Isa 42:8)

    Hidden Manna And Salvation

    Hidden Manna And Salvation–Even though Jesus shone the glory of God through the Passover 2000 years ago, the light of glory of God was taken away from people in 325 AD. At the Council of Nicaea, Emperor Constantine abolished the Passover and replaced the Passover with a pagan custom of Easter in the excuse of commemorating Jesus’ resurrection. Because of this event, the manna became hidden and people could not eat the manna or the bread from heaven to receive eternal life.

    However, the bible says that this hidden manna would be revealed in the last day to give us salvation again. Then who would bring this manna? It is Christ only who can bring the manna. It has always been God who could bring the light of salvation just like Jehovah in the Old Testament and Jesus 2000 years ago. And it would be the same in the last days. The Jesus would come back the second time to bring salvation. (Heb 9:28) Then how would he bring salvation? By restoring the manna or the Passover so that we can receive eternal life.

    Revelation 2:17  Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who is victorious, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give that person a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to the one who receives it.

    Christ teaches us that in the last day he would come back again with a new name. And also he would bring the manna back and give it to the people of God who are victorious.

    Hidden Manna and Christ Ahnsahnghong

    Hidden Manna And Salvation–Then according to the prophecies of the bible who brought back this manna again to us. If we look at the history of the church, there were some churches that restored a certain part of the truth. After the reformation, the baptism and the Sabbath got restored. But nobody could restore the lost truth of the new covenant Passover and other festivals of God. The reason is obvious. It is because this can be done by Christ or God who is coming as man in the flesh can do according to the prophecies of the bible.

    The glory of God’s salvation can be revealed by God himself only. Finally, in 1964 people started to keep the Passover in the “World Mission Society Church Of God” or aka, “WMSCOG,” “Church Of God”. Then how could they keep the Passover? It was because one man restored the Passover of the new covenant. He was Christ Ahnsahnghong. Then who would Christ Ahnsahnghong be who revealed the glory of God through the hidden manna? He is none other than God himself. Even though he appeared as man for the second time, he is God who came to bring us salvation. (Isa 25:6-9)

    Now let us keep the Passover by accepting the teachings of Christ Ahnsahnghong. The Passover is the ceremony through which we can eat the hidden manna, the flesh of Christ which God gave for the life of his people. And also let us realize that God the Mother is the reality of the manna, Christ’s flesh and blood. And she is the spiritual Eve who is the Mother of all the living who can give us eternal life.

    Magic Word to open the hidden treasure room: Open Sesame!

    Treasure Hidden In The Bible

    Treasure of Kingdom of Heaven–Then how about the treasure hidden in the bible? The bible compares the kingdom of heaven to precious hidden treasure.

    Matthew 13:44 “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.

    According to this parable, the kingdom of heaven is treasure. Thus, if you get the treasure, you can get the kingdom of heaven. But the problem is the treasure is hidden underneath the dirt. You cannot know where it is hidden and you cannot reach the treasure. Then how can we get to the treasure? Where should we go and find? All the mysteries and treasure of God is hidden in the words of God of the bible.

    Words Of God, Treasure

    Treasure of Kingdom of Heaven–The bible teaches us that the true words of God are treasure like silver or gold.

    Psalm 19:7  The law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul. The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple. 8 The precepts of the Lord are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the Lord are radiant, giving light to the eyes. 9 The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever. The decrees of the Lord are firm, and all of them are righteous. 10 They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the honeycomb.

    In this verse, we can see that the words of God are compared to pure gold. Therefore, the words of God are the treasure. In the Book of Proverbs, King Solomon says the same thing:

    Proverbs 8:8 All the words of my mouth are just; none of them is crooked or perverse. 9 To the discerning all of them are right; they are upright to those who have found knowledge. 10 Choose my instruction instead of silver, knowledge rather than choice gold, 11 for wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire can compare with her.

    King Solomon also compares the words of God to treasures like gold, silver, and rubies.

    Treasure of Kingdom of Heaven
    What is the Password for the treasure of kingdom of heaven?

    Hidden Treasure Of Kingdom Of Heaven

    Treasure of Kingdom of Heaven–Then why did the bible says that the words of God are hidden treasure? The words of God are in the bible. And if we open the bible, we can read the words of God and get the treasure. Therefore, claiming the words of God as hidden treasure seems to be absurd since they are not hidden. The words of God are accessible anytime we want.

    This is true. But what is important is not the reading activity, but the understanding we get from the words of God. For example, if there is a book explaining about the principle of how the nuclear power plant generate electricity. Even though you might be able to open the book and read. But you might not understand the meaning of the text. In this case we can say the meaning is hidden for me.

    In the same way, when we read the bible without understanding the meaning, we can say that the meaning is hidden to us. And if you cannot get anything from that reading activity, then can you say that you got the riches hidden in the book. Probably not!

    Isaiah 29:11 For you this whole vision is nothing but words sealed in a scroll. And if you give the scroll to someone who can read, and say, “Read this, please,” they will answer, “I can’t; it is sealed.” 12 Or if you give the scroll to someone who cannot read, and say, “Read this, please,” they will answer, “I don’t know how to read.”

    According to the bible, the words of God are hidden to all the people whether educated or not. Nobody can understand the words of God without having the spiritual eyes to read them.

    Magic Word To Open The Seal Of The Bible

    Treasure of Kingdom of Heaven–Then how about us? Is there anybody who can say, “I opened the seal of the bible? Now I can explain all the mysteries of the bible for the kingdom of heaven. Come to me and listen I will let you find the treasure hidden in the bible?” No, definitely nobody can open the seal of the bible.

    Revelation 5:1 Then I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne a scroll with writing on both sides and sealed with seven seals. 2 And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?” 3 But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or even look inside it.

    According to the bible, in the last day, there is nobody who can open the seven seals of the bible. The bible is completely sealed up. As God said in the Book of Isaiah, whether educated or not, nobody can read the words of God in the bible. With that being said, if someone still insists that he can understand the words of God, he must check whether or not he is saying what he does not know out of ignorance and insolence.

    The True Magic Word Leading To Treasure, God

    Treasure of Kingdom of Heaven–Then how can we tap into the treasure hidden in the bible? It is only through God who can open the seals and explain the meaning to us who are spiritually blind.

    Job 22:23 If you return to the Almighty, you will be restored: If you remove wickedness far from your tent 24 and assign your nuggets to the dust, your gold of Ophir to the rocks in the ravines, 25 then the Almighty will be your gold, the choicest silver for you.

    When we get rid of all our precious things in this world and return to God with an obedient mind, we can get the treasure. In this sense, we can see God is the true treasure who can open the door to the secret room of the hidden treasure stashed away for the people of God who would inherit the kingdom of heaven.

    Treasure of kingdom of heaven
    Hidden Treasure in the field: Christ is the hidden treasure in the field.

    Hidden Treasure In The Field, Christ

    Treasure of Kingdom of Heaven–Then who is the Savior we must meet in our time who would open the door for the treasure? It is Christ, God coming as man in the flesh.

    1 Corinthian 4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of the heart. At that time each will receive their praise from God.

    Paul says that we do not have any authority to judge anything if something is true or not. It is only Christ who can reveal all the hidden things and mysteries to us. And therefore, we must wait for his coming and follow his instructions. Then we will come to know how to open the door for the treasure room and get all the treasure for our salvation.

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

    Christ is the true treasure we must find. If we recognize the Christ, we can receive all the treasures and riches from him. However, the problem is that it is not easy to recognize the Christ. As we have seen in the parable of treasure hidden in the field, the treasure is underground covered by dirt. If you look at the surface of the field, you cannot see the treasure hidden underground. What you can see would be just a plot of land covered with dirt and weeds like any other parts of the field.

    Christ Coming As Man In The Flesh

    Treasure of Kingdom of Heaven–In the same way, Christ was treasure hidden underground covered with dirt. It was because he came as man in the flesh. Outwardly, there was no difference between Christ and other men. He seemed to be the same as one of us. That is why most people did not recognize the treasure hidden in the flesh and rejected Christ. Because of that, they could not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

    The bible says that Christ would come back again as man in the flesh for the second time. (Heb 9:28) Even though he is hiding all the treasures and riches in him, it would be hard for people to know the treasure hidden in Christ. However, once they accept the Christ, all the treasure hidden in Christ will become theirs.

    Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother New Jerusalem came to us as man in the flesh. He revealed all the secrets and hidden mysteries of the bible. He gave us the treasure for the kingdom of heaven. Since he hid the treasure in his body of flesh, however, it is hard for people to know the treasure hidden in him.

    Even though they hid their glory in the body of flesh, they are our God and Savior who can lead us back to heaven. Let us dig out the dirt covering their glory and find treasure for kingdom of heaven hidden in them by studying the prophecies of the bible. Let us call out the Password for Heaven, “Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother!” And the door for heaven will open for us to enter.

    Conclusion

    Treasure of Kingdom of Heaven–In the story of Alibaba and 40 Thieves, it becomes easy to open the stone gate only if you have the password. It might be so absurd and simple, but if you don’t have the password there is no other way for you to open the door. No other words, however it might sounds fancy, can make the rock move. However simple may it sound, “Open Sesame!” is the right word. If you know the word, the door will yield to your command. Weak and tiny as you may be, it will obey you. However, if you do not know the word, it would not budge an inch no matter how many people and horses you might bring.

    It is the same with the treasure for the kingdom of heaven. It does not matter how much knowledge, power, or authority you might have. What is important is the right password, “Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother.” With this password, you can open the door for heaven even as kid weak and small. The bible teaches us that we should get rid of our gold and silver. We must get rid of our own wisdom and knowledge, understanding and thought. Then God would be our treasure. Therefore, let us get rid of our own thought and seek God through the wisdom of God in the bible.

  • What is “LIFE” in the bible?

    What is “LIFE” in the bible?

    Eve, Reality of LIfe–Just as life is important for each of us physically, the spiritual life is the same. Especially, the spiritual life or the eternal life is essential for our salvation. What we do not realize is how to receive the spiritual life? And who is the source of life? Let us find out what “life” is in the bible.

    Our Spiritual Status

    Eve, Reality of LIfe–The reason life is important to us is because we do not have life in us. The bible teaches everyone on this earth is destined to die because of our sins. Nobody is free from this fate of sin and death.

    Romans 5:12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned—

    Because of the sin of Adam, death entered into the world to all men. Through this we can understand that the sin of Adam was written to us to teach us the sins we committed in heaven. And because of our sins we got banished from heaven (the garden of Eden) and came to this earth.

    Jesus’ Teaching About The Spiritually Dead

    Eve, Reality of LIfe–Jesus teaches us that we do not have eternal life in us too.

    Matthew 8:21 21 Another disciple said to him, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.” 22 But Jesus told him, “Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead.” (NIV)

    Matthew 8:21 21 Another of his disciples said, “Lord, first let me return home and bury my father.” 22 But Jesus told him, “Follow me now. Let the spiritually dead bury their own dead. (NLT)

    In this verse, Jesus teaches that people living in this world are actually ‘the dead’ in the spiritual sense.  The dead mean they do not have ‘LIFE’ in them. That is, they do not have ‘eternal life’ in them. Then how can we have life in us? How can we be the living in the spiritual sense?

    The Way To Have “LIFE” in Us

    Eve, Reality of LIfe–Then how can we have life in us? Christ teaches that we must eat his flesh and drink his blood to have life.

    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.

    Jesus says that without his flesh and blood in us we cannot have “LIFE” in us. Therefore, through this words of God, we can see that the only way to have “LIFE” in us is by eating his flesh and drinking his blood. “Unless” means that there is no other way. Consequently, to have “LIFE” in us we must eat his flesh and drink his blood. His flesh and blood is “LIFE” itself.

    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 eating his flesh and drinking his blood we can have “life” in us.

    The Reality Of Jesus’ Flesh and Blood

    Eve, Reality of LIfe–Then what is the way we participate in the flesh and blood of Jesus? To get the answer for this question is to know the reality of his flesh and blood? According to the bible, Jesus is spiritual Adam. Unlike Adam, who brought the death into the world, however, Jesus is an anti-type of Adam, who can bring “LIFE” into the world.

    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 (Christ).

    Spiritually, Adam signifies the one to come or the Christ who would come to bring “LIFE” to us. The spiritual Adam, Jesus said that we must eat his flesh and blood to have life. Since Jesus is the spiritual Adam, to know the reality of Jesus’ flesh and blood first we have know Adam’s flesh and blood.

    Adam's Flesh and Blood Eve
    Orvieto, Exterior of the Duomo: Creation of Eve

    Adam’s Flesh and Blood

    Eve, Reality of LIfe–Then what is Adam’s flesh and blood? In the Book of Genesis, God already foretold the flesh and blood of Adam. By studying the physical Adam in the book, we can know the Christ, who is the spiritual Adam. And also we can know the reality of Christ’s flesh and blood. Then what is Adam’s flesh and blood? And how is it related to “LIFE” that Jesus would give?

    Genesis 2:20 But for Adam no suitable helper was found. 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.”

    This is the creation of EVE. When Eve was created, Adam testified that Eve is his flesh and blood. “Bone of my Bones” means that Eve was Adam’s blood. The bone contains marrow which produces blood. Therefore, Adam’s rib bone represents Adam’s blood God used in creating Eve. Also God used Adam’s flesh in creating Eve.

    Eve, The Reality of Adam’s Flesh and Blood

    Eve, Reality of LIfe–Through these verses, we can see the reality of Adam’s flesh and blood, Eve. Then why did God created Eve? We can know the purpose of God in creating Eve through the name Eve itself. Eve means “LIFE”.

    Definition of Eve: The verb חיה (haya) means to live or have life, or to give or restore life; quickening or revive, nourish or refresh. This very important root-verb obviously occurs all over the Bible. (From Abarim Publications)

    Adam’s flesh and blood, Eve means “LIFE”. Through this story of Adam, God is teaching us the reality of LIFE we must know to have eternal life. Jesus said that his flesh and blood is life. Then what is the reality of Jesus’ flesh and blood? It represents “the spiritual Eve” who would appear to give us life.

    Christ’s Wife: Spiritual Eve

    Eve, Reality of LIfe–According to the bible, the spiritual Eve would appear along with spiritual Adam (Christ) in the last days to give us 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.

    Just as God created Eve (LIFE) to give life to children, the spiritual Eve (Christ’s wife) would appear to give the water of life or simply LIFE. Then who is this wife of Christ we must meet for life in the last day?

    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.

    Heavenly Jerusalem: God the Mother

    Eve, Reality of LIfe–John said that the wife of Christ the spiritual Adam is the heavenly Jerusalem that come from heaven to this earth as the bride of Christ. So we can see the Heavenly Jerusalem is the spiritual Eve or LIFE we must meet to have life in the last days. Then who is this heavenly Jerusalem?

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

    The bible teaches that the heavenly Jerusalem is Our Mother, in other words, God the Mother who appears as the reality of LIFE in the last days.

    Conclusion

    Eve, Reality of LIfe–As the spiritually dead, people on this earth do not have LIFE in us. 2000 years ago, Jesus said that his flesh and blood is the LIFE we must have in us to receive eternal life. Actually, that teaching was given to us to reveal God the Mother, the reality of Jesus’ flesh and blood who would come to this earth as the reality of LIFE in the last day.

    Now to fulfill the prophecies of the bible the spiritual Eve God the Mother appeared to us. She is the reality of LIFE we must receive to have eternal life. Jesus said “Unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood, you have no LIFE in you.” This means unless we receive the reality of Jesus’s flesh and blood, God the Mother, we cannot have LIFE in us.” It is because God the Mother is the LIFE itself who came to give us life.

  • Christ Ahnsahnghong, The True Melchizedek

    Christ Ahnsahnghong, The True Melchizedek

    Melchizedek Ahnsanghong–We have already seen that Jesus fulfilled the prophecies of Melchizedek by bringing the bread and wine of the Passover which were the symbols of Melchizedek and giving us the blessings of forgiveness of sins and eternal life. But the bible says the complete fulfillment of the prophecies about Melchizedek would be fulfilled in the last days when Christ is coming for the second time to give us the salvation. Just like other prophecies of the bible, the prophecies of Melchizedek must be carried out by the Second Coming Christ.

    More Prophecies of Melchizedek

    Even though Jesus fulfilled the Order of Melchizedek by coming as high priest in the Order of Melchizedek and granting eternal life through the bread and wine of the Passover which represent his flesh and blood, the bible says this was not the complete fulfillment.

    Hebrews 5:11 We have much to say about this, but it is hard to make it clear to you because you no longer try to understand. 12 In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food!

    “this” in this context means “Mechizedek” because he was explaining about Jesus fulfilling the prophecies of Melchizedek from Verse 1 to 10. But he says he cannot explain everything about Melchizedek 2000 years ago because the prophecies of Melchizedek contains some hard things that could not be properly explained at that time. So he says the time would come that saints of God must learn the prophecy from the beginning again as baby who eat milk, not the solid food. Then what prophecies were hard to understand at that time and remain unfulfilled? Then when would those prophecies be fulfilled?

    melchizedek-blessing-abraham Who is True Melchizedek?
    Hebrews 7:1 This Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High. He met Abraham returning from the defeat of the kings and blessed him, 2 and Abraham gave him a tenth of everything. First, the name Melchizedek means “king of righteousness”; then also, “king of Salem” means “king of peace.” 3 Without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, resembling the Son of God, he remains a priest forever.

    And finally, in Chapter 7 of the same book he reveals more characteristics of Melchizedek which were hard to explain at that time. We have already seen that Melchizedek was the priest of God who blessed Abraham with the offerings of “bread and wine.” And we can see that he is actually God himself since it is only God who can be told to be “without beginning of days or end of life.” But still there are two more characteristics about Melchizedek which have not been fully explained until this time: that is, “without father or mother” and “without genealogy.” Therefore, let us think about these characteristics a little bit more.

    Without Father or Mother

    First, what is the meaning of “without father or mother”? Nobody on this earth can be born without father or mother. According to the providence of God everything on this earth such as animals, birds, fish, plants, including human beings must be given life through father and mother. That is why Jesus was born through a family system when he came down to this earth even though he was God himself who could have appeared without going through those cumbersome processes.

    Therefore, “without father or mother” must have some hidden meaning like all the words of God in the bible. Then what is the meaning of the phrase?

    Matthew 12:46 While Jesus was still talking to the crowd, his mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to him. 47 Someone told him, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to you.” 48 He replied to him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” 49 Pointing to his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers. 50 For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.”

    At this scene the physical family members of Jesus was waiting outside, but he pointed his disciples and said, “These are my family because they are the ones who are doing the will of God.” Through this he was teaching us the true family are the spiritual family, not the physical family. So the true father, mother, brothers, or sisters are the ones who believe in God and follow God’s commands. In this sense, a physical father, mother, brothers or sisters who do not do the will of God are not considered as the true family members.
    Through this we can understand the meaning of “without father or mother.” It means that this Melchizedek must come from a family who do not believe in God or do the will of God. In other words he must come from a non-believing family members who do not believe in God.

    Without Genealogy

    The second characteristic of Melchizedek which has not been understood until now is “without genealogy.” In the bible, the genealogy or family ancestry is always that of Jews because the bible records the history of physical Jews. Therefore, without genealogy means, the true Melchizedek must come from outside the Jewish ancestry, which means he must come from a Gentile country.
    But if we look at Jesus with these two conditions of Melchizedek, things do not make sense. First, Jesus did not come from the family of non-believers; on the other hand, the bible describes the physical father and mother of Jesus was believers of God and considered as “righteous” in the eyes of God. (Matthew 1:19, Luke 1:28) Both of Jesus’ parents were believers of God. If not, how can they be deemed righteous by God and gained favors of God.

    And also the second condition of Melchizedek, “without genealogy” does not match with Jesus Christ because he is clearly recorded as one from the Jewish genealogy and he did not come from a Gentile nation.

    Matthew 1:1 This is the genealog of Jesus the Messiah the son of David, the son of Abraham: 2 Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers, …. 16 and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, and Mary was the mother of Jesus who is called the Messiah.

    Through this genealogy, we can absolutely know that Jesus came from the Jewish ancestry and he HAD his part in the genealogy of the Jews.

    The True Melchizedek Ahnsahnghong

    Because of these reasons, Paul said that he wanted to teach more things about Melchizedek, but he could not because some things were hard to understand because those characteristics of Melchizedek did not match with Jesus. Even though he was the priest of God who blessed God’s people with “bread and wine,” the symbols of Melchizedek and he was God in the flesh, he could not completely fulfill the prophecies of Melchizedek because there were some prophecies which could not be explained through Jesus Christ.
    That is why to fulfill all the prophecies of the bible Christ must come again for the second time so that we know the complete truth and become grown-ups who can digest even solid foods too. The knowledge of the Melchizedek was not complete 2000 years ago, but it would be made perfect when he comes to fulfill the remaining prophecies.

    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.

    Then when Christ appears a second time, how can we know who the Christ is? Let us take a look at all the requirements of Christ when he comes to fulfill the prophecies of the spiritual Melchizedek. First, he must come from a family of non-believers of God to fulfill the prophecy of “without father or mother.” And second, he must come from a Gentile nation which has nothing to do with the Jewish genealogy to fulfill the prophecy of “without genealogy.” And third, he must bring the bread and wine of the Passover to prove that he is the true Melchizedek. Then who fulfilled all these prophecies and appeared to us for the second time to give us salvation? It is Christ Ahnsahnghong.

    He came from parents who did not believe in God and did not do the will of God. Therefore, they could not be considered as father or mother since they did not belong to the spiritual family of believers of God. Also, he came from the land of Korea, which has nothing to do with a Jewish genealogy to fulfill the prophecy of “without genealogy.” And most importantly, he brought back the bread and wine of the Passover, the true signs of Melchizedek, which was abolished 325 AD by the work of Satan. Therefore, we can surely say that Christ Ahnsahnghong is the true high priest in the Order of Melchizedek whose ministry is eternal and thus whose blessings are everlasting because he is God.

    Passover and Second Coming Christ

    The bible teaches that the one who restores the Passover is God who can give us eternal life.

    Isaiah 25:6 On this mountain (Zion) 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. 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 Mountain of God is Zion (Isaiah 24:23). Since Zion is the place where God’s festivals are kept, the feast or banquet described in this prophecy must be one of the festivals of God. Then what is this festival? The thing prepared for this banquet reveals the nature of this festival. It is about the Passover since this festival is kept with “wine” and among all the festivals of God it is only the Passover which uses wine as main offering. And also the work of wine also tells us this must be the Passover. Because it is only the Passover wine which has power to destroy death and give us eternal life just as Jesus said, “Whoever eats my flesh (bread) and drinks my blood (wine) has eternal life and I will raise him up at the last day.”

    Then what is this Passover? According to the bible Christ is the Melchizedek who would bring bread and wine of Passover. And therefore, the Passover must be kept two times first in the time of the first coming and second in his second coming. Then is this prophecy concerned about his first coming or second coming. We can get the answer from the characteristic of this wine used in the festivals: “Aged wine.” Aged wine is the wine which was kept hidden or stored in a secret place for a long time. So this is about the Passover which would be kept in the last day when it was brought back after long abolishment.

    Jesus and Disciples kept the Passover with bread and wine according to the command of Christ and they could receive the forgiveness of sins and eternal life by the ministry of Jesus who fulfilled the Order of Melchizedek. But in 325 AD, the Passover was abolished by the Roman Emperor Constantine in the council of Nicaea. Since then nobody could receive the blessings of the forgiveness of sins and eternal life. The wine of Passover has become kept hidden and stored for a long time until the Second Coming Christ Ahnsahnghong restored the Passover though his ministry of the Order of Melchizedek.

    Therefore, this prophecy is concerned about the Passover wine which would be restored in the last day after long abolishment. That is why this Passover wine is called “aged wine,” not just wine or new wine. Then who is the one who has the authroity and power to restore the Passover wine again in the last days?

    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.”

    In the book of Isaiah, God teaches us that it is God himself who restores the Passover and bringing salvation to his people. “Surely” or without any doubt, this is our God. Then who is Christ

    Ahnsahnghong who restored the Passover of the New Covenant by giving us his flesh and blood through the bread and wine of Passover so that we can receive the blessings of the forgiveness and eternal life? Surely without any doubt he is our God “without the beginning of days or end of life.”

    Conclusion

    Through all these fulfillments of the prophecies we can surely say that Christ Ahnsahnghong is the true Melchizedek who came to this earth for the second time to complete the mission of Melchizedek so that we can be blessed in this last day. He gave us his flesh and blood for us so that we sinners could be forgiven our sins and recieve eternal life. The bible says about the people in the last days who will come to know the complete fulfillment of the prophecies of Melchizedek:

    Hebrews 5:13 Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. 14 But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.

    God wants us to know the truth by studying the complete fulfillment of the prophecies of the bible and to have complete knowledge to distinguish good from evil. All the prophecies of Melchizedek, David, Moses, etc were completely fulfilled by Christ Ahnsahnghong and now we must grow mature to know the true identity of Christ Ahnsahnghong even though he came as man in the flesh. With this knowledge we must say, “Surely Christ Ahnsahnghong is our God” as it is written in the bible.

    And he let us know the true reality of flesh and blood of Christ, Heavenly Mother New Jerusalem. We should receive God the Father and God the Mother for our salvation. Amen.

  • Mother, The Source of Living Water

    Mother, The Source of Living Water

    Christ And Living Water

    The bible teaches about the salvation in many ways. And the most common way used to express salvation is the parable of living water. Just as water is an essential thing in physical life, God teaches us that we must drink the spiritual water to have a spiritual life, eternal life.  Then what is the spiritual water we must take in and what is the source of the spiritual water? Let us find out God the Mother, the source of living water.

    Mother, the source of living water
    Drink living water

    Spiritual Water, Words of God

    First, let us think about the spiritual water itself? What is the water spiritually that we must drink to have eternal life? Without water there would be famine and thirst leading us to death in the end. In the same way, the lack of spiritual water also causes the spiritual famine and thirst which lead us to spiritual doom.

    Amos 8:11 “The days are coming,” declares the Sovereign Lord, “when I will send a famine through the land—not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the Lord. 12 People will stagger from sea to sea and wander from north to east, searching for the word of the Lord, but they will not find it. 13 “In that day “the lovely young women and strong young men will faint because of thirst. 14 Those who swear by the sin of Samaria—who say, ‘As surely as your god lives, Dan,’ or, ‘As surely as the god of Beersheba lives’— they will fall, never to rise again.”

    According to this prophecy, God gives us a warning about a time coming when there would be famine all throughout the land because of the lack of water. And also He says many will die due to this famine and thirst. And He says that the cause of this spiritual famine is the lack of “the words of God”. At that time people wander about to search for the words of God. But they would not be able to find them.

    The Reason For the Lack Of the Words Of God

    The Lack Of Understanding

    Then what causes the lack of the words of God? As the bible says the words of God is always with us. The bible which contains words of God is called an all-time bestseller. Most people, whether he believes God or not, know the existence of the bible. And many have quite good knowledge of the bible. Even though the words of God are around us all the time, why is there a lack of the words of God? We can understand the cause by several things? The first thing that causes the famine is the lack of the knowledge of the words of God.

    Jeremiah 5:4 I thought, “These are only the poor; they are foolish, for they do not know the way of the Lord, the requirements of their God. 5 So I will go to the leaders and speak to them; surely they know the way of the Lord, the requirements of their God.”

    God says that both people and religious leaders are all foolish, which means that have no wisdom and knowledge. Then what is the knowledge they are lacking? They do not know “the way of the Lord, the requirements of their God”. In other words they do not know the words of God. Even though the words of God is around them, God’s people have no understanding of the words of God. Therefore, the words of God they have around them have no use for their salvation.

    The Rejection Of the Words of God

    The second reason for the famine is the rejection of the words of God. Even though God gave them the words of God, people do not accept the words of God. And they do not follow and obey the words of God.

    Hosea 8:12  Even if I wrote 10,000 laws for Ephraim, he would treat them as if they were for some stranger.

    God gave many words to God’s people so that they would receive salvation. However, people did not accept and obey the words. They rejected the words of God and they lost their chances for salvation.

    Hosea 4:6 my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. “Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children.

    Because of these things, the words of God they have are no use to them. Even though people read the words of God in the bible, they don’t understand. In another case, they simply ignore and reject the words of God as something useless. In either way, the words of God is meaningless to them since they cannot receive salvation.

    Lessons We Must Learn

    Then what about us? Are we better than the Israelites? Not at all. In our time, we can see the same things. Even though there are many teachers of laws, they don’t have understanding on the words of God. Since the religious leaders have no understanding, nor are the people who they teach. Therefore, everyone in our time is in famine and thirst for the words of God. What they are drinking is not the living water. Rather, they are drinking salt water causing more thirst. Everybody tries to teach them with some words, but those words have nothing to do with the teachings of God.

    Jeremiah lamented that everyone worshiped God with his or her opinions.

    Jeremiah 2:28 Where then are the gods you made for yourselves? Let them come if they can save you when you are in trouble! For you, Judah, have as many gods as you have towns.

    In those days, God’s people did not the way of God and the requirements of God. They were worshiping God in whatever way they desired. They deserted God and the words of God. Because of these sins of people, God deserted them and they got destroyed. We are practicing the same thing now. Everybody has different opinions of God. Each worships God in their own way. The truth has disappeared. Through this we can clearly say that we also are living in the age of spiritual famine.

    Mother, the source of living water

    The Source of Living Water

    In this state of spiritual famine and thirst, the very first thing we must do is to find the source of the living water. God divided salvation into three different ages and in each age he allowed His people a well of living water from which they could draw out the water of salvation? Then what was the source of living water in each age? Let us first look at the age of Father.

    Jeremiah 2:13 “My people have committed two sins: They have forsaken me, the spring of living water, and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water.

    In the age of Father, the source of living water was God the Father Jehovah. Rather than listening and obeying to the words of God from Father Jehovah, however, God’s people tried to establish their own doctrine which could not give salvation. It was the same with the age of the Son. In the sage of the Son, God the Son Jesus was the source of living water.

    John 7:37 On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. 38 Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.

    To drink from the well of living water, God’s people must come to Jesus. However, they rejected him and did not obey his words. Rather, they relied on their own doctrine and tradition deserting the words of God.

    Mother, the source of living water

    The Source of Living Water in the Last Days: Spirit And Bride

    How about then in our age? Who is the source of living water? The bible says the living water is coming from the Spirit and the Bride, that is, God the Father and God the Mother.

    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.

    Mother, The Source of Living Water

    The bible teaches that in the last day to receive the water of life or the living water of salvation, we must come to the Spirit and the Bride. The Spirit represents God the Father. Then who does the bride signify? If we follow the mated verses, the bride of the Lamb is the Heavenly Jerusalem (Rev 21:9) and the Heavenly Jerusalem is our Mother. (Gal 4:26) In conclusion, the source of the living water in our time is God the Mother. We can confirm this through other prophecies of the bible.

    Zechariah 14:8 On that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem, half of it east to the Dead Sea and half of it west to the Mediterranean Sea, in summer and in winter.

    Micah 4:1 In the last days the mountain of the Lord’s temple will be established as the highest of the mountains; it will be exalted above the hills, and peoples will stream to it. 2 Many nations will come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the temple of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths.” The law will go out from Zion, the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

    Conclusion

    Through all these prophecies we can be sure that the true source of living water according to the bible is Heavenly Jerusalem in our time. Therefore, those who want to drink from the well of living water through the true words of God must come to Heavenly Jerusalem.

    Mother the source of living water
    Drink Living Water from Heavenly Mother

    There are many in this world, who desert the source of living water. And they try to establish their own way of salvation with their own doctrine and tradition. However, as God said through Prophet jeremiah, they are only broken cisterns that cannot hold water. Therefore, we must come to Jerusalem Our Mother to receive the living water.

    Revelation 7:17 ‘Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat down on them,’ nor any scorching heat. 7 For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; ‘he will lead them to springs of living water.’ ‘And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’”

    Only those who listen to the words of God coming from Heavenly Jerusalem Our Mother can receive complete salvation.

  • Spiritual Cyrus Christ Ahnsahnghong

    Spiritual Cyrus Christ Ahnsahnghong

    Appearance of Spiritual Cyrus

    Spiritual Cyrus Christ Ahnsahnghong–We have seen about Cyrus the Great who freed God’s people from the Babylonian slavery. Even though he was a Gentile king, he acknowledged God. He did everything God commanded through the prophecies of Isaiah. Then why did God allow this history of Cyrus to be recorded in the bible, the book for God’s salvation work?

    The bible says that the Old Testament works as copy and shadow to show the reality of what was to happen in the New Testament. In other words, the Old Testament was working as prophecies for the things that would happen in the New Testament. (Hebrews 10:1)

    Slavery of Babylon and King Cyrus

    Spiritual Cyrus Christ Ahnsahnghong–The bible says that God summoned Cyrus the Great for the sake of God’s people. In the time of Cyrus God’s people were under the Babylonian slavery. When the appointed time came, God raised up Cyrus to fulfill the prophecy of Isaiah.

    Isaiah 45:13  I will raise up Cyrus in my righteousness: I will make all his ways straight. He will rebuild my city and set my exiles free, but not for a price or reward, says the Lord Almighty.”

    This prophecy was made about 160 years before the king Cyrus by Prophet Isaiah. In this prophecy, God already prophesied that God’s people would be in Babylonian slavery. And to set them free, he will raise up Cyrus, King of Persia. Finally, 160 year later, Cyrus was born and became a king of Persia. When he came to know the prophecies of Isaiah, he understood that it was God who gave him life. God made him to be a king and conquer many nations. After realizing this, he wanted to do the will of God.

    As it says in the Book of Ezra, the king set the Israelites free from the Babylonian slavery. He let them go and rebuild the ruined temple of God. Furthermore, he provided all the materials for the construction of the temple. All these happened to fulfill the prophecies of the bible.

    Spiritual Fulfillment of the Prophecy

    Spiritual Cyrus Christ Ahnsahnghong–Then what is the purpose of the history of Israel? Is it just a history of one nation? No, it is more than that.

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

    The bible teaches that the law or the Law of Moses in the Old Testament was a shadow to teach us the realities for the New Testament. The story of Cyrus in the Old Testament also works as shadow. The true meaning of this story can be found in the New Testament. Then let us find out the meaning one by one.

    Spiritual Slavery of Babylon By God’s People

    Spiritual Cyrus Christ Ahnsahnghong–The Book of Revelation teaches that God’s people would be under the slavery of Babylon in the last days.

    Spiritual Cyrus Christ Ahnsahnghong
    Illustration of Babylon the Great

    Revelation 17:1 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits by many waters. 2 With her the kings of the earth committed adultery, and the inhabitants of the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her adulteries.” 3 Then the angel carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns. 4 The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls. She held a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries. 5 The name written on her forehead was a mystery: Babylon the great the mother of prostitutes and of the abominations of the earth. 6 I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of God’s holy people, the blood of those who bore testimony to Jesus.

    This is a prophecy about a church which will put God’s people under the slavery of sin and death by making them commit adultery. Let us find out the meanings of the prophecy one by one.

    Spiritual Meaning In the Prophecy

    Spiritual Cyrus Christ Ahnsahnghong–First, what is the woman sitting on many waters? Waters represent human society as we can see in Verse 15. And a woman in the bible signifies a church as in 1 Peter 5:13. Therefore, this prophecy is about a false church (a great prostitute) which will control and rule over the whole human society in the last days. In Verse 5, God named the false church as “Babylon.” And in Verse 6, he shows God’s people under persecution of this false church.

    Once the Israelites were under the control and slavery of Babylon around 600 BC. They were in pain and suffering under onerous burden of Babylon slavery. This history was actually working as prophecy for God’s people who would be under the slavery of spiritual Babylon. And the bible says God’s people are under the slavery of Babylon the Great in the last days. In this hopeless state, God sent Cyrus to conquer Babylon. And finally, Cyrus set the Israelites free.

    This also shows the appearance of spiritual Cyrus in the last days who will set God’s people free.

    Emancipation From the Slavery Of Babylon

    Spiritual Cyrus Christ Ahnsahnghong–Then who is the spiritual Cyrus? How can we recognize him who would come to set us free? To understand this we have to first understand the kind of slavery we are in. We are not physically a slave to anyone today. Therefore, we have to know the figurative meaning behind it. Then what is slavery in the spiritual sense?

    John 8:31  To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” 33 They answered him, “We are Abraham’s descendants and have never been slaves of anyone. How can you say that we shall be set free?” 34 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin.

    Spiritually, slavery means the slavery of sin and death. As we have seen in the prophecy of Revelation, in the last day everybody is committing adultery because of Babylon the Great. In this state, nobody is free from sin. And because of the sin, everyone is under the destiny of death since the wages of sin is death. (Roman 6:23)

    Appearance of Cyrus and Freedom From Sin and Death

    Spiritual Cyrus Christ Ahnsahnghong–However, in this miserable state the bible prophesies that one would appear to set God’s people free from the slavery of sin and death.

    Revelation 18:1  After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven. He had great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his splendor. 2 With a mighty voice he shouted: “‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!’ She has become a dwelling for demons and a haunt for every impure spirit,     a haunt for every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detestable animal.

    This is the prophecy of the appearance of Cyrus and the fall of Babylon the Great. When this angel appears the world covered in the complete darkness is brightened up by the great light he brings into the world. At that moment people will be able to see clearly the true identity of Babylon the false church. Once people have been deceived by Babylon and followed its sinful ways. But now people can see that it is filled with falsehood, impurities, and uncleanness.

    Then who is this angel? And what is the light that reveals the identity of Babylon?

    Light Of Truth, Passover

    Spiritual Cyrus Christ Ahnsahnghong–What is light that brightens up the dark world with its great splendor?

    spiritual cyrus christ ahnsahnghong
    The Light of truth that reveals the identity of Babylon the great

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

    In the bible, the light means the words of God or the truth. Then what is the truth that would be revealed in the last days? We can know the truth through the work it is supposed to do in the last days. According to the bible, this is the truth that gives freedom from the slavery of sin and death. In other words, this is the truth that gives the forgiveness of sins, the freedom from sin. And also this truth must give us eternal life, the freedom from death. Then what is the truth that gives us “forgiveness” and “eternal life.” It is the truth of the Passover new covenant.

    Forgiveness And Eternal Life Through The Passover

    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.

    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.

    Spiritual Cyrus Christ Ahnsahnghong–2000 years ago Jesus established the Passover with his flesh and blood. By participating in the bread and wine of the Passover we can receive the promise of Christ, the forgiveness of sins and eternal life. So the light of truth that would be revealed in the last day is the Passover of the new covenant.

    Abolishment Of The Passover

    Spiritual Cyrus Christ Ahnsahnghong–The Passover Jesus established with his flesh and blood was abolished and came to be lost through the Council of Nicaea in 325 BC. Since then people could not keep the Passover. They could not receive the promise of forgiveness and eternal life. Everybody has fallen into the slavery of sin and death. Why all these things happened in the history of Christianity? It was all because of Babylon the Great.

    Then what is Babylon the Great that put God’s people under the slavery of sin and death? To find answer to this question, we must find out the one who abolished the Passover. In the history of Christianity the one who abolished the words of God and introduced falsehood into the church was the Roman Catholic Church. (Daniel 7:25, Revelation 13:1-8) The Roman Catholic changed the truth into falsehood. They changed the Sabbath (Saturday) into Sunday worship. Also it changed Passover into Christmas (December 25).

    During the reign of Babylon the Great, all the truth of the new covenant was taken away from the world. In the figurative sense, the world fell into the darkness since there was no truth or light. Without the truth of the Passover, everyone became enslaved by sin and death.

    Spiritual Cyrus Christ Ahnsahnghong

    Spiritual Cyrus Christ Ahnsahnghong–This is the spiritual state in the last days. The whole world is under the complete darkness because of the lack of light or the truth. But according to the bible, in the last day one angel would appear with great light that would reveal the identity of Babylon. At that moment, people will come to know the truth, and the falsehood of Babylon would be laid bare. And God’s people who once were under the slavery of Babylon would be emancipated through the truth. Then who is the angel who would bring the truth and set us free from sin and death?

    John 8:32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” ……36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

    Through these verses we can know that it is only the son Jesus who can gives us the truth that set us free from the slavery of sin and death. In other words, Christ must come back again in the last days. He must teach us the truth of the new covenant Passover. Through this truth, we can be set free.

    Conclusion

    Then in our time, who restored the Passover, the light of the truth? Who gave us freedom from sin and death? Who allowed the forgiveness and eternal life? Who revealed the identity of Babylon with the light of truth? It was Christ Ahnsahnghong. Cyrus the Great the king of Persia destroyed the kingdom of Babylon. And he gave freedom to the Israelites. This was a prophecy for the last day.

    In the last day, God’s people became slaves to spiritual Babylon, the false church which changed the words of truth. Christ Ahnsahnghong appeared to us as spiritual Cyrus the Great. And he gave us freedom from the slavery of Babylon through the new covenant Passover. Just as Cyrus gave the Israelites a mission to rebuild the Jerusalem temple, Christ Ahnsahnghong gave us a mission of establishing spiritual Jerusalem temple. He commanded us to go and find all the building materials of the spiritual temple, that is, our brothers and sisters.

    Physical Israelites went through many difficulties while rebuilding the Jerusalem Temple. However, they endured and overcame all the hardships and completed the temple in the end. (Ezra 7:14) In the same way, we might have some difficulties and hardship in the completion of this mission. However, we must overcome and complete the work entrusted to us with a willing mind.

  • Cyrus the Great And the Prophecy

    Cyrus the Great And the Prophecy

    King Cyrus the Great

    “….  I am Cyrus, king of the universe, the great king, the powerful king, the king of Babylon…..As for the population of Babylon who as if without divine intention had endured a yoke not decreed for them, I soothed their weariness, I freed them from their bonds.” From Cyrus Cylinder

    Prophecy of Cyrus the Great
    Cyrus Cylinder in British Museum

    This is the record inscribed in the Cyrus cylinder which was written in a cuneiform to celebrate the conquest of Babylon in 539 BC. Cyrus the Great was the king of Persia, who later conquered the kingdom of Babylon in 539 BC. After completing the conquest of Babylon, the very first thing he did was to free the exiles and let the expatriated peoples return to their own land and nations. In this time of Cyrus, Jews were among those who repatriated from Babylon to the land of Israel. What is more amazing in this part of history is that this event was also recorded in the bible.

    Biblical Description Of The Emancipation By Cyrus the Great

    Ezra 1:2  The Lord, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth and he has appointed me to build a temple for him at Jerusalem in Judah. 3 Any of his people among you may go up to Jerusalem in Judah and build the temple of the Lord, the God of Israel, the God who is in Jerusalem, and may their God be with them. 4 And in any locality where survivors may now be living, the people are to provide them with silver and gold, with goods and livestock, and with freewill offerings for the temple of God in Jerusalem.

    This is the declaration made by Cyrus the Great to the Jews who had been expatriated around 605 BC by Nebuchadnezzar the King of Babylon when he conquered the city of Jerusalem. In this declaration, he basically set all the Jews free from the exile. And he let them go back to their own land. What is unusual in this decree is that he allowed them to rebuild the Jerusalem temple, which once was burnt down by the Babylonians. Moreover, he commanded his people living with Jews to provide them the materials the Jews asked for the reconstruction of the temple.

    Enigmatic Messages In the Decree

    Due to the decree of the king, the Jews could gather many valuable offerings among the Babylonians and could come back to their own land. This was one of the most important events in the history of the Jews. What is interesting about this event is the reason why Cyrus the Great made this seemingly improbable decree. He could simply make the exiles stay in the places where they were at the moment and use them for various purposes as the Babylonians did. More than anything else, what is inexplicable in this decree is the reason he allowed the Jews to build the temple for God and even provided materials for the purpose.

    Originally, the state religion of the kingdom of Persia was the Mithraism. And the people of Persia worshiped the sun-god Mitra. And this was true to Cyrus the Great. Even though he was a sun-god worshiper who did not believe in the God in the bible, he praises God for the authority given to him. He attributes his power and authority to God Jehovah, not Mitra and in return for the favor of God Jehovah, he allowed the Jews to go back to their land and build God’s temple in Jerusalem. Then how could this happen? There was one thing that moved the heart of King Cyrus.

    The Prophecy Of Cyrus the Great

    After he conquered the kingdom of Babylon, he could know a prophecy through God’s people who had been living in the land as exiles. The prophecy was precisely concerned about him. Let us take look at the prophecy of Cyrus in the bible.

    Isaiah 45:1  “This is what the Lord says to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I take hold of to subdue nations before him and to strip kings of their armor, to open doors before him so that gates will not be shut: 2 I will go before you and will level the mountain; I will break down gates of bronze and cut through bars of iron. 3 I will give you hidden treasures, riches stored in secret places, so that you may know that I am the Lord, the God of Israel, who summons you by name. 4 For the sake of Jacob my servant, of Israel my chosen, I summon you by name and bestow on you a title of honor, though you do not acknowledge me.

    This prophecy was from Prophet Isaiah about 700 BC, which means this prophecy was recorded about 170 years before Cyrus actually became the king and conquered Babylon in 539 BC. After the conquest of Babylon, he became acquainted in this prophecy and he was moved in his heart. He realized that the God of Israel is the true God. God was the one who named him even before his birth and gave him all the power and authority to establish his vast kingdom.

    God’s Will For Cyrus

    In realizing this Cyrus wanted to do the will of God. He eagerly wanted to obey the mission entrusted to him by God by faithfully fulfilling the will of God. Then what was the will of God He had prepared for Cyrus?

    Isaiah 45:13  I will raise up Cyrus in my righteousness: I will make all his ways straight. He will rebuild my city and set my exiles free, but not for a price or reward, says the Lord Almighty.”

    According to this prophecy, God reveals the reason he has chosen Cyrus as his prophet. The mission given to Cyrus was first, to set God’s people free from the Babylon exile. Second, He had chosen Cyrus to entrust the work of rebuilding the temple of God which had been burnt down by the Babylonians. When Cyrus realized the mission God gave him, he had done everything according to the words of God obediently.

    The Message Hidden In the Prophecy Of Cyrus

    Then what kind of message is hidden in the story of Cyrus? Is the account of Cyrus just a part of the history of Israel? Definitely not. The bible says God bring up the past to teach the future.

    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.’

    Roman 15:4  For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.

    The words of God in the bible is not just a record of what had happened in the past. But rather through the things of the past, God teaches about what is going to happen in the future. In other words, the history of the past is actually working as the prophecy about the future. In this sense, the story of Cyrus is not just a history of Israel, but it contains a prophecy which would be completed by the appearance of a spiritual Cyrus, a man summoned by God to fulfill the prophecy in the bible.

    Then who is the spiritual Cyrus and what is the work that God entrusted him to complete?
