  • Worship God In Spirit And In Truth

    Worship God In Spirit And In Truth

    Spiritual Act of Worship

    Worship God In Spirit And In Truth–Today there are so many people who believe in God and who worship God. And also there are so many different ways in worshiping God. It seems like everybody has his or her own way of worshiping God. In this situation, if you bring up the question of a right way of worshiping God, many will blame you for your narrow-mindedness and rigidity. People tend to believe everybody has freedom to choose his or her way of worshiping God. The way of worshiping God is a matter of personal choice which should not be constrained by anybody else.

    Proper Ways Of God-Worship

    Worship God In Spirit And In Truth–However, when we look at the bible, God does not seem to accept all the worships equally by blessing them all. Rather, God seems to be pleased more over a certain type of worship than others. We can see this example from the story of Cain and Abel.

    Genesis 4:2 Later she gave birth to his brother Abel. Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil. 3 In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the Lord. 4 And Abel also brought an offering—fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering, 5 but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast.

    Even though Cain and Abel both worshiped God, God accepted Abel’s offering but not Cain’s. This story reveals that God has preference for certain types of offerings. And also through this story we have to realize that we must worship God in the way God is pleased with to receive blessings from God.

    God-Worship In the Law Of Moses

    Worship God In Spirit And In Truth–We can find similar examples in the Law of Moses too. Even though many says that we can worship God in whatever way we choose to. This is completely wrong when we look at the laws and regulations God gave to His people. God could have simply commanded them to worship Him any way they want. Instead, God specified everything in an act of worship: time, place and manner.

    The Place of Worship

    In this worship of God, the bottom line was that people must not worship God with their own accord. Rather, they have to follow very strict regulations. First, God did not allow his people to worship him any place they want. Rather He appointed them a place of worship so they could go to worship Him.

    Deuteronomy 12:5 But you are to seek the place the Lord your God will choose from among all your tribes to put his Name there for his dwelling. To that place you must go

    The Time of Worship

    The place God has chosen for his people was the temple in Jerusalem which King Solomon established later. Also, God did not allow his people to come to him any time they want to meet him. If they did, God punished them for their lawlessness.

    Leviticus 16:2  The Lord said to Moses: “Tell your brother Aaron that he is not to come whenever he chooses into the Most Holy Place behind the curtain in front of the atonement cover on the ark, or else he will die.

    The Manner of Worship

    And third, God gave them a specific manner of worship: the choice of animal, the amount of wine and bread, etc. The whole Book of Leviticus itself contains all the regulations of worship. According to this regulations and laws, the priest of God worshiped God. They worshiped God in a tabernacle and later in a temple. And they worshiped God at God’s appointed times, that is, the festivals of God. Also they followed all the required regulations God set up for the worship. Most of their worships included shedding the blood of an animal for the forgiveness of sins.

    Worship God in spirit and in truth
    Worship God in spirit and in truth

    Worship God In Spirit And In Truth

    In our time, however, this is not the right way of worshiping God. Jesus said that we must worship God in spirit and in truth not in a physical temple, but in a spiritual temple. (John 4:23) Just as Paul said, the temple worship according to the Law of Moses was just a copy and shadow God gave us to teach us the reality of worship. (Hebrews 8:5) Again, he teaches us that we have a better tabernacle or temple to go to worship God.

    Hebrews 9:11  But when Christ came as high priest of the good things that are now already here, he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not made with human hands, that is to say, is not a part of this creation.

    He teaches us that there is another temple which does not belong to the physical world. The reality of the temple is in heaven. Then what is the true spiritual temple? This heavenly temple is very important to us because this the place that we must go to worship God.

    The Spiritual Heavenly Temple

    Worship God In Spirit And In Truth–Then what is the spiritual temple which we must go as God’s people to worship God and receive blessings?

    Revelation 21:22  I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.

    According to the Book of Revelation, God teaches us that in the heavenly Jerusalem city is not physical temple. Rather, there is the reality of temple in the city, that is, the Christ or the Lamb. In other words, the reality of the temple is the Christ himself. The temple is a place  where God dwells by putting his Spirit in it. On the other hand, when the Christ appeared, he put the Spirit of God in his body. For this reason Christ called his body as temple.

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

    What God wanted to teach us through the temple worship in the Law of Moses was the reality of the temple, Christ who we must find and go to worship God.

    God’s Appointed Time

    Worship God In Spirit And In Truth–2000 years ago the Reality of God’s temple, Christ came down to this earth. He was teaching his disciples to come to him, the true temple of God. Just as God gathered his people to the physical temple at the appointed time, Christ was gathering his people toward himself during the festivals of God.

    On the night of the Passover he gathered his people, and let them know that he was the reality of a sacrificial animal. He let them know that the true forgiveness can be attainable only through his flesh and blood, not with animal sacrifice. And on the last and greatest day of the Feast of Tabernacle, he was gathering his people to give them blessings of eternal life.

    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.”

    The True Temple We Must God To Worship God

    Worship God In Spirit And In Truth–According to the bible, the Christ would come again in the last day. Then how would he appear? The book of Revelation says that God would put his tabernacle among his people.

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

    The bible says that God would establish his dwelling place or the temple among his people again in the last day. Does this mean he would establish a physical temple in the city of Jerusalem in the land of Palestine. Definitely not. Paul said the temple we must seek now is not the physical temple, but spiritual temple the Christ.

    God Appears As Man In The Flesh

    Therefore, the only possible conclusion is the Christ would appear as man in the flesh for the second time as reality of temple by putting the Spirit of God in his body. The bible testifies about the Christ who appears in the last day like this:

    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.

    Jesus in his first coming gathered his people to him the reality of the temple so that they can worship God in spirit and in truth by following and obeying the teaching of God. In the same way, the Revelation teaches about the reality of the temple, the Spirit and Bride who give his people the water of life, eternal life.

    The Spirit represents the Lamb or the Second Coming Christ (Rev 19:7, 21 :9). This prophecy tells that Christ would come as man for the second time and gather his people to him the reality of the temple that they can worship God and receive the blessings of eternal life. However, this time he comes back with his bride of the Lamb, God the Mother who can give us the water of life.

    Come to the Spirit and the Bride

    Worship God In Spirit And In Truth–Through this teaching we can see that Christ would appear again in the flesh as the reality of the temple and gather his people to give them blessings of eternal life. Therefore, to worship God in spirit and in truth the very first thing we must do is to know the Spirit and the Bride or Father and Mother who appear as man in the flesh. Since they are the true temple of God we must come to them to worship God during the festivals of God. In that way, we can worship God in spirit and in truth and receive the blessing of forgiveness and eternal life.

  • The Fulfillment of Laws And Christ

    The Fulfillment of Laws And Christ

    The Mystery in the Bible

    When we study the bible, we should know the purpose of the bible. Most of the books contains the purpose and goals in them intended by writers of those books. In the same way, the bible was given to us by God and thus the bible contains the purpose God has intended to teach. Therefore, to understand the bible correctly we must know the reason why God allowed the bible to be recorded and gathered together in the present form. Through the bible ultimately we must understand the relationship between the fulfillment of laws and Christ.

    The Fulfillment of Laws and Christ

    Then why did God give us the bible? What is the bible for? The answers for these questions can be correctly answered only by God himself. Then let us take a look at the words of God in the bible because there is no other thing available to us except for the bible to know the teachings of God. Just as Peter said the bible is “something completely reliable” (2 Peter 1:19) to us. Therefore, we have to “pay attention to it,” to know the will of God.

    Then what is the purpose of the bible according to the teachings of God in the bible? Let us take a look at the words of Paul about the bible and its laws.

    Galatians 3:24  Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. (KJV)

    To give an answer for the question in Verse 19 of the same chapter, “Why, then, was the law given at all?” he says that the law exists to do the role of a teacher. In this case, the mission of the laws as a teacher is to lead people to Christ. In other words, all the laws of the old covenant were recorded as testimonies for the Christ who would appear to give salvation. Therefore, ultimately the one who we must recognize and meet through the Law of Moses is the Christ, or the Messiah who was to come to fulfill the laws.

    Jesus’ Testimonies About the Laws

    Matthew 5:17  Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.

    Jesus says that he came to fulfill the laws or the old covenant. All the laws of the old covenant was intended to lead us to all the fulfillment of the laws, that is, the Christ. Paul confirms about this when he said, “For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.” (Romans 10:4)

    At the end of the road of the old covenant, you will be able to find the Christ who would be waiting for you at the end. All these testimonies have the same message in it, that is, the laws of the old covenant was recorded to lead us to the Christ who would come to fulfill all the laws. Let us look at another testimony of Jesus about the relationship between himself and the laws.

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

    The Scriptures means the words of God in the bible or the laws of the old covenant. And Jesus teaches that the purpose of the Scriptures or the laws was to teach people about the Christ himself. In other words, all the Scriptures and the laws came into existence to teach us and lead us to the Christ who can give us the salvation of eternal life. 

    The Second Coming Christ And the Laws

    Then what about the Savior who would come in the last days? How can we recognize him? According to the bible he would appear for the second time for our salvation in the last day. (Hebrews 9:28) Then when he appears, will it be easy for us to know him and receive him? Probably not, because the bible teaches that the Christ is the Mystery.

    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.

    Paul says that Christ is the treasure which contains all the knowledge and wisdom for our salvation. If only the Jews of 2000 years ago accepted the Christ, they could have received the salvation of eternal life. In reality, however, they rejected him and crucified him. It was because the glory was hidden within him. For this reason, the bible calls the Christ “a mystery.” His glory and power were hidden from the eyes of men of the time.

    They could not see the Godhead hidden inside his physical appearance. Then how about the Christ who would appear for the second time? Would it be easy for people to know him? The bible says the Christ is a mystery, not only in his first coming, but also in his second coming. Then if this is the case, how can we know who the Christ is? It is the same. As the bible says, “These are the Scriptures that testify about me,” Christ is testified in the laws.

    Laws of the Bible and the Savior in the Last Day

    Unlike the Jews in the time of Jesus who were given only the laws of the old covenant, we have both the old and new covenant. And all the laws of the bible was recorded so that we may find the Christ who would come to fulfill all the laws  of the bible.

    Then what does the laws say about the Savior? The laws of the old and new covenant teaches the true Savior in the last day, that is, God the Mother or the Heavenly Jerusalem who comes to give us the water of 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.

    What is the water of life? It is the salvation of eternal life we expect from the Second Coming Christ. But the bible says the salvation is coming from the Spirit and the bride. The Spirit is, as we know, God himself, then who is the bride who comes in the last day? If we look at the same book in Chapter 21, the bible teaches the bride is the Jerusalem, not the physical Jerusalem City on this earth, but the Heavenly Jerusalem coming from heaven as the bride of the Christ. (Revelation 21:9-10)

    Heavenly Jerusalem in the Old Covenant

    About the Spiritual Jerusalem, the laws of the old covenant testify like this:

    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.

    Not only does this book testify about the living water or the water of life as in the Book of Revelation. But this book also confirms that the source of the living water is the Jerusalem. Since the living water does not speaks about the physical water, neither can the source be the physical Jerusalem, but the spiritual Heavenly Jerusalem. Through the laws of the bible, God teaches us that the true source of salvation that we must seek in the last day is the Heavenly Jerusalem who comes down to this earth in the last day to give us salvation. Then who is this heavenly Jerusalem.

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

    In the Book of Galatians, Paul testifies that in heaven there is another Jerusalem, that is, heavenly Jerusalem. But interestingly enough he says that she is “Our Mother.” In other words, in heaven, there are our Father and our Mother. 2000 years ago, as the fulfillment of the laws of the old covenant, Christ our Father appeared to give us eternal life. But the same bible says that at the last day to fulfill all the laws of the bible, both the old covenant and new covenant, our Mother would appear as Savior to give us salvation of eternal life.

    God the Mother and Salvation

    The bible teaches through many parables that God the Mother is the source of salvation we must seek in the last day. Paul said that the purpose of the laws of the bible was to guide us to Christ. In this sense, the whole purpose of God through the bible was ultimately to lead us to God the Mother, Heavenly Jerusalem who would come down to this earth to give eternal life.

    Therefore, those who want to eternal life must come to God the Mother because she is the true source of the water of life.

  • The Judgment With Stone

    Stoning or lapidation is a capital punishment carried out by throwing stones on a criminal to put him to death. This is one of the most ancient ways of the capital punishment and also we can see some laws and examples related to this type of execution in the bible.

    Stoning in the Old Testament

    The Law of Moses specifies about the crimes and the proportionate punishment for those crimes. In this law, the most common way of a capital punishment was stoning to death. In the Book of Deuteronomy, we can see various cases for the stoning such as adultery, blasphemy, disrespect for parents, selling a brother as slave, etc.

    Deuteronomy 13:6    If your very own brother, or your son or daughter, or the wife you love, or your closest friend secretly entices you, saying, “Let us go and worship other gods” (gods that neither you nor your ancestors have known, 7 gods of the peoples around you, whether near or far, from one end of the land to the other), 8 do not yield to them or listen to them. Show them no pity. Do not spare them or shield them. 9 You must certainly put them to death. Your hand must be the first in putting them to death, and then the hands of all the people. 10 Stone them to death, because they tried to turn you away from the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.

    Or the laws says of a disrespectful and rebellious son:

    Deuteronomy 21:18    If someone has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and will not listen to them when they discipline him, 19 his father and mother shall take hold of him and bring him to the elders at the gate of his town. 20 They shall say to the elders, “This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a glutton and a drunkard.” 21 Then all the men of his town are to stone him to death. You must purge the evil from among you. All Israel will hear of it and be afraid.

    The reason God commanded the Israelites to stone a person to death is because they could purge or get rid of evil in this way. For this reason, stoning was one of the most common ways of execution for the Jews and we can see examples in the story of Achan and his family being stoned and buried underneath in the Old Testament, and also of Stephen in the New Testament.

    stoning-of-achan
    Achan’s sin: Because of the sin of Achan, he and his family got stoned to die. Why is this story written in the bible? What is the lesson God wants to teach us?

    The Meaning behind the Parable of Stone

    Even though there are so many different ways of execution, why does the bible regulate the stoning as way of “purging evil and evil-doers” from among the people? Nothing can be written without any reason, and thus we can see there must be some providence of God behind this teaching too. Then what is the true meaning of this law? According to the bible, the Law of Moses was given to us to lead us to Christ.

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

    The law of Moses was just a copy and shadow and the reality could be found in Christ who fulfilled all the Law of Moses.

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

    Then what does God want to teach us through this law of stoning to death? He did not give us this law just to make us repulsive about the law. Nor did he give us this law to intimidate us. Everything in the past contains some teaching God wants to give us. To understand God’s teaching in this law we must first understand what the stone presents? According to the bible Jesus is the reality of stone.

    Acts 4:11    Jesus is

    “‘the stone you builders rejected,
    which has become the cornerstone.’
    12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”

    Or In the Book of Peter, the same apostle testifies:

    1 Peter 2:4   As you come to him (or Jesus), the living Stone—rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him— 5 you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house[a] to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6 For in Scripture it says:

    “See, I lay a stone in Zion,
    a chosen and precious cornerstone,
    and the one who trusts in him
    will never be put to shame.”

    Jesus, a Stone of Judgment

    Then why is Jesus called a stone parabolically? Let us first look the Law of Moses to find out why people used stone. In the law people used stones to purge evil from the people so that they could maintain social order, or more precisely keep the community pure and clean so that the blessing of God could be with them. In this sense, stone was a tool for judgment for the evil-doer, or people who practiced lawlessness.

    Through this laws of Moses we can see that Jesus as stone fulfills the same purpose for God’s people. He was the figuratively and in a sense literally LIVING STONE with the laws of God written in it. With the law given to him he was making judgment for people to purge the evil and lawlessness from people.

    monsanto-rock-village
    What is a rock to us? What does God want to remind us by giving so many and different rocks with so many different purposes?

    According to the bible, God is the WORD (John 1:1), and in the time of Moses the word of God was materialized in the form of two STONE tablets to judge people. The stone tablets were not just the words of God, but the representation of God to signify God’s power and authority. In this sense, Jesus was the spiritual stone tablets because he was the WORD of God corporealized in the form of man.

    John 1:1    In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. ….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.

    Just as the two stone tablets were kept in the physical temple, the spiritual tablets of words of God was kept inside the body of Christ, which is spiritually a temple. (John 2:21) With the immanent words of God inside him, Jesus could make a judgment for the lawlessness and destroy them with his words of God.

    John 12:47    “If anyone hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge that person. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. 48 There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; the very words I have spoken will condemn them at the last day.

    He appeared to us as Living Stone Tablets of words of God and through the words he taught he was making judgment to purge the evil and destroy the lawlessness 2000 years ago.

    Ahnsahnghong, the White Stone

    Then what about in the last days? What does the bible say about the judgment in the last day? How will God purge the evil among his people so that they can be kept pure and clean to receive the blessing of salvation? The prophecies of the bible says that in the last days the Second Coming Christ would appear as stone again by coming as man in the flesh and make judgment for the people who do not listen to his words.

    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.

    The one who speaks in the Book of Revelation is Christ and he teaches about the things that will happen in the last days. In the last days, he says he would give a white stone with a new name on it. What would be the meaning of it? This is a prophecy about his second coming and when he come comes he would appear again as stone or a living Stone in Peter’s word with the words of God written in him. Just like his first coming, he would appear as man again for the second time, but now he would appear with a new name or a different name, which cannot be Jesus this time.

    This prophecy can be confirmed by another prophecy in the Book of Daniel. In a prophecy of a statue of different metals, God foretold the human history which would be laid out for the next thousands of years even to the ends of age.

    Daniel 2:31    “Your Majesty looked, and there before you stood a large statue—an enormous, dazzling statue, awesome in appearance. 32 The head of the statue was made of pure gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze, 33 its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of baked clay. 34 While you were watching, a rock was cut out, but not by human hands. It struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and smashed them. 35 Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were all broken to pieces and became like chaff on a threshing floor in the summer. The wind swept them away without leaving a trace. But the rock that struck the statue became a huge mountain and filled the whole earth.

    As you may know, this is a prophecy about the kingdoms which would rise from the world after Babylon–Media/Persia, Greece, Rome, Ten Germanic Kingdoms and later even to the end of age. But according to this prophecy, at the end of age a rock, which was not established or originated from man, will destroy all the man’s kingdoms and establishments. Then what is this rock which would destroy the man-made institutions or systems? This is a prophecy about the Second Coming Christ who would appear at the end of age as stone or as a man in the flesh for the second time to make a judgment for people who do not listen to the words of God.

    Ahnsahnghong, The Words of God

    Through this prophecies we can see that Christ Ahnsahnghong is the WORD of God which became flesh and came down to us to teach us the true words of God. About the Christ’s appearance as man in the flesh, the Book of Revelation says:

    Revelation 19:11     I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and wages war. 12 His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. 13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God.

    The rider of a white horse, the Word of God, will make war against the beast (or the Anti-Christ) and kings allied with him (Revelation 19:20) and he would destroy them. Through this war all the evils would be purged and the judgment would be given to each of the evildoers. And they would be put into the fiery furnace of burning sulfur, being tormented forever and ever. This is the end of Satan and Sin.

    In this revelation, the Word of God must be God himself as we have seen in Jesus, who was the Word which appeared as man in the flesh. Then what does it mean the Word coming riding on a white horse? Parabolically, the horse means flesh, and the Word riding on a horse actually means the Word of God would appear as man in the flesh for the second time.

    Isaiah 31:3   But the Egyptians are mere mortals and not God;
    their horses are flesh and not spirit.
    When the Lord stretches out his hand,
    those who help will stumble,
    those who are helped will fall;
    all will perish together.

    According to the bible, a horse parabolically represents flesh, contrary to the spirit. Therefore, the WORD (God) coming on a horse means God’s coming as man in the flesh. All these prophecies have one thing in common: that is, God must appear as man and he must bring the words of God to make a judgment for the people.

    Conclusion

    In this dark world where there is not a single ray of light, God Ahnsahnghong brought the resplendent light to us to show the truth so brilliantly. Through this we can see that the Christ Ahnsahnghong is the Second Coming Christ who appeared as man in the flesh to judge the world with his words.

    Now let us obey his words so that we may be saved out of the Last Judgment and receive the salvation.

  • I Came In My Father’s Name

    What is the name of God that we must know to be saved? Many believes that it is through the name Jesus we can be saved and he is the true Savior. Then why do people believe like that? It is because the bible says that the name of Jesus is the name of Savior and we must accept and believe in.

    Jesus, the Name of God

    Apostle John and Peter testified that Jesus is the source of Salvation.

    Act 4:11     Jesus is “‘the stone you builders rejected,
    which has become the cornerstone.’
    12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”

    They testified to the Jews who are versed at the bible, and said that “no other name” except for the name of Jesus was given to them to be saved. It was a strange idea to the Jews of the time. It was because the name of Savior they had known and accepted was not Jesus to them. It was always God the Father Jehovah who could be called the name of Savior.

    Isaiah 42:8    “I am Yahweh (or Jehovah).
    That is my name.
    I will not give my glory to another.
    I will not let statues take the praise that should be mine. (ERV)

    And he proclaims that he alone is the Savior and none other.

    Isaiah 43:10     The Lord (or Jehovah) says, “You people are my witnesses and the servant I chose. I chose you so that you would help people believe me. I chose you so that you would understand that ‘I Am He’—I am the true God. There was no God before me, and there will be no God after me. 11 I myself am the Lord, and there is no other Savior.

    The name of God to the Jews who originally believed in the bible was God Jehovah. That is why when disciples started to preach that Jesus was the Savior and the true God, the Jews could not accept the teachings and dismissed them as cult. But then why did the disciples preach that Jesus is the name of Savior and Jesus is God Jehovah. Physically we cannot say that the name Jesus and Jehovah same because they have different spellings and pronounce differently. Despite these apparent difference between the two names, the disciples of Jesus preached Jesus was the true savior and accept the name of Jesus.

    the-names-of-jesus
    Today, everybody believes in the Name of Jesus, which was different 2000 years ago when he came down to this earth. He was rejected and He was crucified. Why do people now put their trust in the Name Jesus? 

    Romans 9:5     Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them is traced the human ancestry of the Messiah (or Christ Jesus), who is God over all, forever praised! Amen.

    Paul says that Christ Jesus is the true God and he is the true Savior.

    Romans 10:9    If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

    Acts 16:29      The jailer called for lights, rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas. 30 He then brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” 31 They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.”

    Apostles who preached Jesus as Savior were also Jews who had been taught throughout their life that Jehovah is the Savior. Then what made them change their mind and accept the name of Jesus as the name of Savior, rather than Jehovah?

    The Name of Savior Fulfilled through the Prophecies of the Bible

    Then was there any part or verse in the Old Testament that taught that the name of Savior would be changed into another name such as Jesus in the later time? No, there is not a single verse that mentions Jesus in the Old Testament. Considering that their faith was based on the Scriptures, it is strange that they started to call out the name Jesus as the name of Savior because the Scripture testifies over and over again that God the Father Jehovah is the only Savior and only God.

    To understand the reason we have to look at the teachings of Jesus Christ who testified about himself. What did he say about himself?

    John 5:43   I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not accept me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him.

    Jesus’ teaching sounds more strange. Jesus said that he (Jesus) came in the name of Father (Jehovah) and by saying this he is alluding that he (Jesus) is Father (Jehovah). However, as we can see the name and spelling, the two names are not the same, but completely different. Then why did he teach that he came in the Father’s name? If he did, he must be called “Jehovah,” rather than Jesus 2000 years ago.

    Here we can see that he is not teaching in the literal sense of the words, but he is teaching through a parable as usual. Therefore, to understand his teaching correctly, we have to read between the lines and find out the hidden meaning behind the words. Then how can we explain his teaching about the name of God.

    By looking at the previous verses we can grasp the meaning and understand what he wanted to teach the people about the name of Savior.

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

    He is speaking about the Scriptures (the bible) and says that through the Scriptures we can receive Salvation because through the Scriptures we can know who the Savior is and can come to him to receive Salvation. But the Scriptures he was speaking about the Old Testament because the New Testament was not recorded and compiled yet during Jesus’ lifetime. And he makes an unbecoming argument when he said that the Scriptures or the Old Testament was given to teach the people about himself who was to come as Savior to give them eternal life. However, none of his argument seems to be true because the Scriptures testifies that Jehovah is the Savior and come to Father Jehovah.

    Then on what ground could he say that he was God the Father Jehovah and he came in the Father’s name? We can understand this through the fulfillment of the prophecies of the bible. God gave many prophecies (rather than a name) so that we could recognize the true Savior by the fulfillment of the prophecies. For example, in one prophecy God said that he would come as shepherd to save his people:

    Ezekiel 34:11    “‘For this is what the Sovereign Lord (or Jehovah) says: I myself will search for my sheep and look after them. 12 As a shepherd looks after his scattered flock when he is with them, so will I look after my sheep. I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on a day of clouds and darkness. 13 I will bring them out from the nations and gather them from the countries, and I will bring them into their own land. I will pasture them on the mountains of Israel, in the ravines and in all the settlements in the land. 14 I will tend them in a good pasture, and the mountain heights of Israel will be their grazing land. There they will lie down in good grazing land, and there they will feed in a rich pasture on the mountains of Israel. 15 I myself will tend my sheep and have them lie down, declares the Sovereign Lord. 16 I will search for the lost and bring back the strays. I will bind up the injured and strengthen the weak, but the sleek and the strong I will destroy. I will shepherd the flock with justice.

    Since the shepherds did not take care of the sheep entrusted to them, God prophesied that he would be a shepherd for his people himself in the future by searching them, gathering them, healing them, comforting them with good pastures. Then who came and fulfill this prophecy of good shepherd? It was fulfilled through Jesus Christ:

    the-true-shepherd
    Who is the True Shepherd, Jehovah or Jesus? What is the true Name of Savior?

    John 10:11      “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12 The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. 13 The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. 14 “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me— 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.

    Through these teachings we can easily see that Jesus was the one who fulfilled the prophecy of the good shepherd made by Father Jehovah. If we believe that these two passages are related with each other through the prophecy and fulfillment, it is also easy for us to know who Jesus was. In the Book of Ezekiel, the one who would appear as shepherd is God the Father Jehovah himself. Therefore, we can say that Jesus, even though he came as man in the flesh like one of us and he had physically a different name from Jehovah, is God Jehovah because of the fulfillment of the prophecy.

    The Prophecy of a New Covenant

    Let us take a look at another prophecy:

    Jeremiah 31:31   “The days are coming,” declares the Lord (or Jehovah)),
    “when I (Jehovah) will make a new covenant
    with the people of Israel
    and with the people of Judah.
    32 It will not be like the covenant
    I made with their ancestors
    when I took them by the hand
    to lead them out of Egypt,
    because they broke my covenant,
    though I was a husband to them,”
    declares the Lord.
    33 “This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel
    after that time,” declares the Lord.
    “I will put my law in their minds
    and write it on their hearts.
    I will be their God,
    and they will be my people.
    34 No longer will they teach their neighbor,
    or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’
    because they will all know me,
    from the least of them to the greatest,”
    declares the Lord.
    “For I will forgive their wickedness
    and will remember their sins no more.”

    In this prophecy Jehovah said that he would make a new covenant to his people again to give them the forgiveness of sins. Even though he made an old covenant (the Law of Moses), his people disobeyed the covenant and got destroyed because of the sins they committed and the covenant came to be broken and forgotten by his people since it was written on the stone tablets. That is why he said that he would write the new covenant in the tablets of people’s heart so that they would never forget and keep the covenant forever so that they would receive the forgiveness of sins and salvation.

    Then who fulfill this prophecy by making the new covenant with the people of God?

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

    When Jesus kept the Passover with his disciples, he said that that was THE new covenant. What does it mean? What was the new covenant he had in mind when he established the new covenant with the bread and wine of the Passover? He was referring to a prophecy of the Scriptures and all throughout the Scriptures there is only one instance where God Jehovah said that he (Jehovah) would make A new covenant. And that prophecy was achieved by Jesus by establishing THE new covenant which was mentioned by Father Jehovah. Then in this prophecy who is Jesus? The prophecy said I (Jehovah) would make a new covenant and therefore Jesus must be Jehovah who appeared as man in the flesh and established the new covenant.

    I just mentioned two of the prophecies of the Scriptures for the sake of time. Actually, all the verses of the bible teaches us the savior who would appear and gives us the salvation and all those prophecies which were made by God Jehovah was fulfilled by Jesus. When the disciples of Jesus realized this, they could boldly proclaim that Jesus was Father Jehovah and Jesus thus was the true Savior and God.

    The Name of God in the Last Day

    Then why are all these important? It is because what happened in the past would happen again in the last day. Jesus Christ already prophesied about his coming and he says about the name of Savior which would be revealed in the last day.

    John 14:26      But the Advocate (Counselor), the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.

    Here he is speaking about the Holy Spirit who would come in the last day to teach the truth to people so that they would receive salvation. But then who is the Holy Spirit who would appear in the last days? Many say that the Holy Spirit is a invisible spiritual force as it was once manifested on the Day of Pentecost by descending upon people and giving the power of God. That is true. But in another aspect, the Holy Spirit is just a title given to God just like the Father and the Son. According to the bible, the Holy Spirit is the title given to the Second Coming Christ.

    names-of-god
    What would be the Name of God in our time? How would we be able to know it?

    Jesus Christ always called himself as “the Son of Man” or people called him as “the Son of God or David.” It was because the Christ must appear as son in the prophecy of Isaiah.

    Isaiah 9:6    For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called  Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

    This prophecy was fulfilled by Jesus and that is why Jesus himself and people called him as son. In reality, however, he was the Mighty God and Everlasting Father or God Jehovah himself. Especially, he appeared as Counselor or Advocate who “speaks to the Father in our defense.” (1 John 2:1)  According to the teachings of Jesus, he says that he would send another Counselor like him so that our sins would be forgiven through his supplication for us.

    John 14:15    “If you love me, you will obey what I command. And I will ask the Father , and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever–the Spirit of truth.

    And about this Counselor, he refers him as the Holy Spirit. It means that God would send Christ again and when he appears he would come with the title of the Holy Spirit. And when he appears he would teach us everything that we must know for our salvation and he would speak to the father for us so that our sins would be forgiven. In the Book of Revelation, we can see Jesus who would appears with the title “the Holy Spirit” and “a new name.”

    Revelation 3:11    I (or Jesus) am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown. 12 The one who is victorious I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will they leave it. I will write on them the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on them my new name. 13 Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

    The Jesus who would be coming in the future must be the Second Coming Christ. When he appears for the second time, however, he does not use the title “Son” anymore, rather he uses the title (Holy) Spirit instead as we can see in Verse 13 of the passage above and many other verses throughout the book, especially, Chapter 2, 3 and 22. Again and again he refers himself as “the Holy Spirit,” letting us know that these prophecies about his second coming. But when he comes, what is the name he would use? In the book of John, he already said that God would send the Holy Spirit in his name and therefore the Holy Spirit seems to have to appear in the name of Jesus if we try to understand this verse literally.

    However, through the example of Jesus who came in the Father’s name, now we must have the spiritual eyes to know the hidden meaning behind it. It means the Holy Spirit would not literally appear in the name of Jesus any more, but rather he would appear with a different name. About this, he said that he would appear with “his new name.” (Revelation 3:12) It means when he appears in the last days we would not be able to know who the Christ is through his name. Then how would we know the Second Coming Christ.

    Christ Ahnsahnghong Who Came in the Name of Jesus

    The only way for us to know the name of God is through the fulfillment of the prophecies of the bible. Just as the disciples could accept Jesus as Savior or God through the fulfillment of prophecies made by God Jehovah, the only way for us to know the true Second Coming Christ who would appear as the Holy Spirit with a new name is through the fulfillment of the prophecies of the bible.

    the-true-name-of-god-christ-ahnsahnghong
    Christ Ahnsahnghong is the True Name of God through which we can be saved because there is no other name given to us to be saved except for the Name Ahnasahnghong. He has come to fulfill the prophecies of the bible and established Zion, the Church of God for us to receive salvation.

    2000 years ago, Jesus made a lot of prophecies about his Second Coming in Matthew 24: the Son of man coming on the clouds of sky, the Son of Man coming along the blossoming of the fig tree, the Son of Man coming like lightning which shines from east to west, etc. Therefore, the one who fulfills all these prophecies made in the name of Jesus is the one who we must accept because he is Christ Jesus who would appear a second time. It does not matter where he is coming from, how he looks like, what language he speaks, what customs he follows. What is important is the prophecies of the Scriptures and the fulfillment of those prophecies.

    All the prophecies Jesus made 2000 years ago was fulfilled by Christ Ahnsahnghong by coming on the clouds of heaven in the time of fig tree giving out the leaves from the east bringing the words of God. Not only these, all other prophecies such as Melchizedek, David, Elijah, Moses, etc were fulfilled through his coming. Therefore, by looking at the fulfillment we should be able to see who Christ Ahnsahnghong is in spite of all the unbecoming outward appearances which seems to be contrary to the public expectation of Christ. Remember that only those who truly believed the words of God in the bible could accept the Christ testified in the bible. We must be the same and accept Christ Ahnsahnghong by trusting the words of God in the Scriptures because these are the Scriptures that testifies about Christ Ahnsahnghong.

  • The Savior In Each Age And His New Name

    As people who accepts God as our King and our Savior, the Bible says that at least we must know the name of the Savior.

    Isaiah 52:5   “And now what do I have here?” declares the Lord. “For my people have been taken away for nothing, and those who rule them mock,” declares the Lord. “And all day long my name is constantly blasphemed. 6 Therefore my people will know my name; therefore in that day they will know that it is I who foretold it. Yes, it is I.”

    God says that his people at least must know his name. Many people might think it absurd because they believe that they know the name of God perfectly well. And many say that they believe in the name of Jesus, who is their God and Savior. If that is that easy, God would not have warned that his people should know his name. Now let us find out the true name of the Savior so that we may know who the true God is and what his name is.

    Jesus, a New Name of Savior

    2000 years ago, when Jesus came down to this earth, God’s people in those days were Jews. They were the people who had been given the Scriptures or the bible and they studied the bible since the time of Moses. Based on the knowledge of the bible, they thought it was easy for them to know the true God and his name because the Scriptures already testified the God and his name Jehovah. It was no wonder that they had confidence on their knowledge of the bible since they studied the Scriptures or the bible day and night and they had thorough knowledge of the Law of Moses.

    New Name of Christ
    The Name of God in the Old Testament, YHWH

    But when the God they believed came down to this earth in human form in the name of Jesus, it was proven that their knowledge of God was wrong since they did not recognize the God with their knowledge of the bible. They knew that God was Father Jehovah or “יהוה” in Hebrew, which corresponds to “YHWH” in English alphabets. They worshiped him since the time of Abraham calling him “God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob” and “God of Israel.” Even though they were taught about their God for thousands of years generations after generations, they did not recognize the God they claimed to know and they even crucified him and killed him when He came to save them. How and why did this happen?

    Even though they thought they knew God, in actuality they did not know God. The main reason was because the God they had worshiped appeared to them with a completely different name from the one they had already know. They knew the name Jehovah, but they did not trust in the name Jesus because the new name was not recorded in the bible as the name of Savior or nobody-no prophets or teachers of laws-ever mentioned or taught about the name Jesus. According to their knowledge of the Scriptures, the Name of God was יהוה or Jehovah.

    Then why did this discrepancy happen even though they were taught with the same Scriptures as the one we have now as Christians? According to the Scriptures, Jesus was not God to the Jews; however, according to the same Scriptures Jesus was God to the Christians of the Jesus’ time. How come the Jews who lived in the same era and studied the same Scriptures had completely different opinions of Jesus? One Jew said Jesus was a man blaspheming the name of God by claiming himself as God and another said that Jesus was in the very nature God who appeared in the form of a man.

    It was because the Jews did not know or accept that God could appear as man and with a different name. They did not look at the prophecies of the bible and the fulfillment through Jesus. But the Christians accepted the prophecies of the bible and therefore they could accept Jesus even though he appeared to them in many ways contrary to their expectation. At least they knew that Jesus was the one who fulfilled the prophecies of the bible even though he was a man and he came from a ordinary family.

    When they accepted the name Jesus, from that time the name Jesus became the name of the Savior and God to them and they started to pray in the name of Jesus. They knew that by Jesus appearing to them the name of Father, Jehovah became obsolete even though once that was the name given to them for thousands of years. With this realization, disciples of Jesus, who once were praying in the name of Jehovah, started to call on the name of Jesus and became the witnesses of Jesus, preaching Jesus was God and Savior.

    The Name of the Savior in our Time

    Then what is the Name of God and Savior to us? To this question, many will confidently say that Jesus is my Lord and Savior. This is understandable because His name is recorded all through the New Testament. But let us go back to the time of Jesus. Jews’ faith in Jehovah was also reasonable because Jehovah was the name recorded all through the Scriptures of the Old Testament. Even though Jehovah was the name recorded in the Old Testament, a group of people started to believe in Jesus as their God because he fulfilled all the prophecies Jehovah made in the Old Testament. Therefore, logically, they concluded that Jesus-even though he came with a different name-was God the Father Jehovah.

    It is the same in our time. The standard of our faith should be based on the prophecies of God in the bible. If the bible says, we will have the same name Jesus as the name of Savior, then we must believe in the name of Jesus. But what if the bible says Jesus will come with a different name just as he had done 2000 years ago? If that is the case, we would make the same mistake as the Jews had made 2000 years ago by insisting the obsolete name of Savior as true name and rejecting the true name of Savior by holding on to his old without knowing that a new age has come when we have to know the new name of Savior.

    New Name of Christ
    Jesus, the Name of God in the Age of the Son

    Not to make this kind of mistake we must know the prophecies of the bible. Then what does the bible say about the Second Coming Christ and his name? Let us first find about some of the prophecies of the bible so that we can know the plan of God for our salvation.

    The Name of the Holy Spirit

    Matthew 28:18    Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.

    This verse contains a deep prophecy of our salvation. Through this verse Jesus is teaching us the plan of God’s salvation. Let us find out the secrets one by one so that we can understand the plan of God for our salvation. First, we have to know the word, “baptizing.” The reason we have to focus on this word is because baptism is a very essential ceremony for the salvation. Baptism is a ceremony through which we can receive the forgiveness of sins and the names we must be baptized in are the names of God we must know and accept for our salvation since God is the only one who can give the forgiveness of sins.

    This verse reveals to us that God divided his salvation work into three different stages or ages: the Age of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. And in each age he gave a name for the Savior. To the Jews before Jesus’ coming, the name of Savior was Jehovah and for this reason it was hard for them to accept the name Jesus since they had been taught that Jehovah was the Savior. But disciples who knew the plan of God could get rid of their own prejudice about God and could accept Jesus because he accomplished all the prophecies of the bible.

    Then what did Jesus teach about the last days? By saying that we must get baptized in the name of the Holy Spirit, he was teaching to us that first, there would be the age of the Holy Spirit in the last days, and second people who are living in the last days must know the name of the Holy Spirit for the baptism to be complete for their salvation. Therefore, we who are living not in the Age of Father, nor in the Age of Son, but in the Age of Holy Spirit must know two things, that is, who the Holy Spirit is and what His name is. First, who is the Holy Spirit? Since the bible already prophesied that Christ would appear a second time (Hebrews 9:28), we can guess the Holy Spirit must be the second coming Christ.

    The reason the age of first coming Christ is called the Age of Son was because of the title given to Jesus when he came for the first time. According to a prophecy of a bible in the Book of Isaiah, Christ would be coming as son. (Isaiah 9:6) But the bible says that the Christ who would appear second time in the last days would use a different title, “the Holy Spirit.” We can confirm this through the titles Jesus uses throughout the New Testament. When he came 2000 years, he called himself “Son” by using the title “the Son of Man.”

    Matthew 12:8    For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.

    Also people also called Jesus with the title “Son.”

    Luke 18:38  38 He called out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”

    But when Jesus appears in the last days, he does not use the title “Son” anymore; instead he uses the title “the Holy Spirit” to refer to himself.

    Revelation 2:17   Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

    This book of Revelation was based on the revelation John received from Jesus, which is concerned about things that “must soon take place.” (Revelation 1:1) Therefore, we can say, this book is a prophecy about the last days. In this revelation, Jesus keeps using the title “the Spirit” or the Holy Spirit to refer to himself. This reveals that he would use the title “the Spirit”, not “the Son” in the last days. Then we can call this age when he is using the title, the Holy Spirit as the Age of the Holy Spirit.

    And Jesus taught that he would have a name in this age too and we must know this name to get baptized for the forgiveness of sins. Then what would be the name of Jesus in the last days? Would it be the same Jesus? Or would it be different like 2000 years ago by coming with a completely different name to make it hard for people to recognize him? To give the correct answer we must look at the prophecies of the bible. Then what does the bible say about the name of the Holy Spirit?

    Revelation 3:11    I (Jesus) am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown. 12 The one who is victorious I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will they leave it. I will write on them the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on them my new name. 13 Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

    He is speaking about the future when he comes back in the last days and He says that he would come with a NEW name when he comes for the second time. Let us confirm again.

    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.

    New Name of Christ
    What is the name of the Holy Spirit that would be written on a white stone?

    According to the bible, the stone represents Christ himself (1 Peter 2:4), and the stone with a NEW name means Christ who is

    coming with another name. Through this we can see that the Christ would come with a completely different name when he comes in the Age of the Holy Spirit in the last days. How hard would it be for people to know the Christ and accept the new name of the Christ in the last days as we have already seen through the same event the Jews had 2000 years ago in his first coming.

    Conclusion

    In this situation, who would be like disciples of Jesus 2000 years ago and accept the second coming Christ? Many will act in the same way as the Jews had done and will reject the second coming Christ and will not be able to receive the salvation by refusing to be baptized in the name of the Holy Spirit. We who wants to receive salvation must be different and have spiritual eyes to recognize the Christ who is coming with a new name. The only ways is through the prophecies of the bible. Whoever fulfills the prophecies of the bible is the second coming Christ and his name is the new name which we must accept for our salvation.

    Then what is the name of the Holy Spirit? To know answer for this question, first we should ask these questions? How fulfill the prophecies of King David? Melchizedek? Moses? All these prophecies got fulfilled by one man who came as man in the flesh from a far off land in the east in 1948 to fulfill all the prophecies Christ gave 2000 years ago about his second coming. (Matthew 24) The man is Christ Ahnsahnghong. He came and fulfilled all the prophecies of the bible and through this we must know that the new name of the Holy Spirit is Ahnsahnghong and this is the name of Savior in the Age of the Holy Spirit.

    Come to Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother New Jerusalem and receive salvation.

  • Christ Coming As Melchizedek

    Christ Who is Coming as Melchizedek

    The bible teaches the Second Coming Christ in many ways. One of such ways is through the figures in the Old Testament. Christ in Greek or Messiah in Hebrew both originally means “an anointed one,” which means he comes to be anointed. Accordcing to the Law of Moses three types of people got anointed: High Priest, King, and Prophet. Through this title we can figure out that Christ comes as king, prophet, and high priest when he comes on this earth.

    Christ Ahnsahnghong coming as Melchizedek
    The Passover and Melchizedek

    First, he comes as a king like David, the second king of Israel to give laws of the new covenant and rules over the people of God. (Luke 1:31) Second, he should come as a prophet like Moses to lead his people out of the land of spiritual slavery and lead them to the land of Canaan, the heaven. (Act 3:22) Third, he also comes as high priest like Melchizedek (Hebrews 5:8) to mediate for the sins of God’s people so that they can receive the forgiveness of sins.

    How can we know the Christ who is coming as Melchizedek? What kind of blessings are given to the people who receive the spiritual Melchizedek? How can we receive the blessings of his priesthood? These are all essential questions we must ask and know the answers of to receive the Christ.

    In the following links you can find some of the essential information about the Christ who is coming as Melchizedek. I hope you read the contents carefully and accept the Christ who is coming as Melchizedek and receive the salvation.

  • The True Melchizedek: Christ Jesus

    In the previous post, we have seen the Melchizedek in the Old Testament. Then through this Melchizedek, what is it that God wanted to teach us? It is the Christ who was the true reality of the Melchizedek. Everything in the bible was given to us to teach us the Christ.

    The Bible and the Christ

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

    Jesus said that everything written in the bible was given to teach us the Christ. In this sense, the bible contains all the information about the Christ who was to come to save us. But the Jews did not accept the Christ even though he came to fulfill the prophecies of the bible and standing right in front of them, teaching them the way to the kingdom of heaven. They refused to accept the Christ and they rejected their salvation.

    If we look at the bible, the bible contains all the information of the coming of Christ: the place he was to be born, the place he would grow up, the place he would preach the gospel, the life he was to live. All these information was recorded in the bible as prophecies and when the prophecies are fulfilled at God’s appointed time by someone we can recognize him as the Christ who was to come.

    Isaiah 48:3   I foretold the former things long ago, my mouth announced them and I made them known; then suddenly I acted, and they came to pass.

    God foretold many things through the prophets of God through the bible and all the things recorded in the bible are supposed to “come to pass” when God acts at his appointed times. These are prophecies of God. Then what did God prophesied about through the prophets?

    1 Peter 1:10   Concerning this salvation, the prophets, who spoke of the grace that was to come to you, searched intently and with the greatest care, 11 trying to find out the time and circumstances to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing when he predicted the sufferings of the Messiah and the glories that would follow.

    The prophets of God received the prophecies through the Holy Spirit and they were showing “the Messiah” who is coming and all the information about his coming such as “the tiem and circumstances” so that we can correctly recognize the Messiah or Christ who comes fulfilling all the prophecies of God like Jesus 2000 years ago.

    Christ Appearing As Mechizedek

    One of the prophecies of the bible about the Christ was his coming as Mechizedek. Even though there were many important figures in the Old Testament, God chose Melchizedek, who was recorded briefly in a passing way to teach us about the Christ coming to fulfill the work of Melchizedek. As we have already examined before, Melchizedek in the Old Testament was given as type for Christ would come to do the work of Melchizedek.

    Let us think about the characteristics of Melchizedek one more time one by one. First, Melchizedek was the priest of God who blessed Abraham or God’s people with bread and wine, rather animal sacrifices performed by the priests of God following the Order of Aaron as it was written in the Law of Moses. Therefore, the most unique and important characteristic which distinguises Melchizedek from all other priests of God is this offering of “bread and wine.” And we can say that “bread and wine” is the symbol of the true Melchizedek. The priest who is appearing as Melchizedek must bring the bread and wine so that we can know who the spiritual Melchizedek is. In this way, we can know the Christ or Messiah who is coming as Melchizedek.

    Passover of the New Covenant
    The Signs of Melchizedek: Bread and Wind of Passover

    Then who came as Melchizedek and blessed God’s people to receive salvation? This prophecy of Melchizedek was fulfilled by Jesus Christ. Let us find out the reason why Jesus is the spiritual Melchizedek. 2000 years ago Jesus came as high priest to mediate between God and his people so that they can receive forgiveness of sins and eternal life. What we should look at in the ministry of Jesus as high priest is the offerings he was presenting to God for the blessing. He did not sacrifice animals according to the Law of Moses following the Order of Aaron. But he blessed his people with “bread and wine” of 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 (of 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 covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

    What was the offering he used to give the blessing of “the forgiveness of sins”? Bread and wine. Then who used bread and wine to give blessing to Abraham who represents God’s people? Mechizedek. Then who is the spiritual Melchizedek who fulfilled the prophecies of Melchizedek? Jesus. Therefore, we can say that Jesus is Melchizedek. The ceremony which Jesus and disciples were keeping was called the Passover. (Matthew 26:17)

    Through this Passover bread and wine he gave the forgiveness of sins and also granted eternal life, the true salvation we are waiting for.

    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 (bread) and drinks my blood (wine) has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.

    Through the bread and wine of the Passover which represent Jesus’ flesh and blood he gave the blessing of eternal life. That is why we can say that Jesus is the spiritual Melchizedek.

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

    Conclusion

    Through the prophecies of Melchizedek of the Old Testament, we can clearly know that Jesus who fulfilled the prophecies of the Melchizedek is the Messiah or Christ. The ceremony through which Jesus blessed his people was named as new covenant, showing us the time of old covenant was gone and the age of fulfillment came. When he established the new covenant, he was announcing that the new age had come to fulfill the prophecies of the bible. That is why the bible says that he is the high priest mediating with new covenant of bread and wine.

    Hebrews 9:15   For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant.

    Jesus Christ, The True Spiritual Melchizedek

    Just as Melchizedek, Jesus gave “bread and wine” for the blessings of the forgiveness of sins and eternal life with bread and wine, which represent his precious flesh and blood that he sacrificed for us. Jesus came and fulfilled all the prophecies as it was recorded in the bible, but people refused to accept him as Christ since he did not meet their expectation of Christ.

    In our time too, we are given chance to show our faith and belief toward the words of God. Christ came again for the second time bringing “bread and wine” of the Passover to grant us the forgiveness of sins and eternal life. Through this symbol of Melchizedek we must recognize Christ Ahnsahnghong as true Messiah who came to this earth to fulfill the prophecies of the bible. We should not make the same mistakes again the Jews made 2000 years ago. Jesus’ physical life and his physical appearance became stumbling blocks to them, hindering them from accepting the Christ who fulfilled the prophecies of the bible, which was true signs of Christ.

    In the same way, the bible which testifies about the Christ says Christ Ahnsahnghong is the Christ or Messiah who came to us as spiritual Melchizedek to give us salvation. But aren’t we focusing on the physical life and appearance of Christ Ahnsahnghong, rather than the fulfillment of prophecies of the bible? Let us accept Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother New Jerusalem by getting rid of our own opinion or expectations of Christ, but trusting the words of God in the bible.

  • Melchizedek In The Old Testament

    In this post I would like to show some verses about Melchizedek in the Old Testament which was given as shadow for the spiritual Melchizedek, which was to be fulfilled in the New Testament. To understand the reality of Melchizedek in the New Testament, first we have to look at Melchizedek of the Old Testament. By looking at the life and work of Melchizedek of the old covenant, we can know the one who would come as the reality of the Melchizedek by fulfilling the work in the spiritual way.

    Melchizedek in Genesis

    Genesis 14:17  After Abram returned from defeating Kedorlaomer and the kings allied with him, the king of Sodom came out to meet him in the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley). 18 Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High, 19 and he blessed Abram, saying, “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth. 20 And praise be to God Most High, who delivered your enemies into your hand.” Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything. 21 The king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the people and keep the goods for yourself.

    This is the almost only description of Mechizedek in the Old Testament. But here we can see all the important characteristics of Melchizedek we must know to understand the spiritual Melchizedek. The very first thing we should look at about Melchizedek is that he was a priest of God. A priest of God is the one who present offering to God.

    Hebrews 8:3   Every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices, and so it was necessary for this one also to have something to offer.

    A priest is a person chosen by God to give offerings to God so that he could mediate between God and God’s people when God’s people committed sins against God. According to this regulation the priesthood was given to Aaron and his descendants and they were to give offerings of animal sacrifice by shedding blood of animals so that people’s sins would be forgiven.

    melchizedek-and-abraham
    Who is Melchizedek?

    But the offerering Melchizedek was presenting is completely different. He is offering to God bread and wine which is mentioned nowhere else in the Old Testament and through this we can see his priesthood was not conventional to the laws of old covenant.

    Blessing Abraham?

    Another thing important in this description of Melchizedek is his blessing of Abraham with bread and wine and Abraham’s presenting “a tenth of everything” to Melchizedek. What is the meaning of all this? First, to understand this scene we have to understand who Abraham represents. Abraham is called a ancestor of Israelites as we can see the genealogy of Israelites. The genealogy starts with Abraham since he was the progenitor of this ancestry.

    Matthew 1:1  A record of the genealogy of Jesus Christ the son of David, the son of Abraham: Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers.

    Jacob the grandson of Abraham had 12 sons and those 12 sons of Jacob came to be called the 12 tribes of Israel. (Actually the name Israel was given to Jacob later and therefore 12 tribes of Israel means 12 tribes of Jacob.) In this sense Abraham represents the Israelites itself who was still in the body of Israelites. Therefore, Abraham’s presenting a tenth can represent Israelites’ presenting a tenth (or tithe) to Melchizedek.

    Hebrews 7:9   9 One might even say that Levi, who collects the tenth (or tithe), paid the tenth through Abraham, 10 because when Melchizedek met Abraham, Levi was still in the body of his ancestor.

    So in this scene Abraham represents Jews and then who does Melchizedek represent? To answer this question we need to know about “a tenth” mentioned above. A tenth means “tithes” God commanded His people to present to him.

    Leviticus 27:30   “‘A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the soil or fruit from the trees, belongs to the Lord; it is holy to the Lord. 31 Whoever would redeem any of their tithe must add a fifth of the value to it. 32 Every tithe of the herd and flock—every tenth animal that passes under the shepherd’s rod—will be holy to the Lord. 33 No one may pick out the good from the bad or make any substitution. If anyone does make a substitution, both the animal and its substitute become holy and cannot be redeemed.’”

    A tithe or a tenth belongs to God. Then who is Melchizedek who received a tenth or tithes from the Israelites through Abraham? He must be representing God himself. So the spiritual meaning of this scene is actually a illustration of God’s blessing God’s peoples with bread and wine. But in this priesthood a man is not set up as a meiator as in the priesthood of Aaron and his descendants, but God himself is acting as mediator to bless his people.

    abraham-and-melchizedek
    Why Bread and Wine?

    And also as I have mentioned before, the offerings or gift used for the minstry is also different. In the Order of Aaron, priests sacrificed animals such as cows, bulls, sheeps, and goats by shedding the blood for the forgiveness of sins. But in this Order of Melchizedek, “bread and wine” are presented as offerings instead of animals.

    Spiritual Melchizedek Who Was To Come

    Then why was this story of Melchizedek was recorded in the bible? Seemingly, this story is very short and mentioned in a passing way, so we might think that this is not that important. All the prophecies of the bible seem to be the same. They seem to be unimportant  and neglected by people. But when the time of fulfillment for those prophecies comes, the words of God suddenly stand up alive and do everything as it is recorded in the bible.

    The prophecy of Melchizedek is the same. This story was given as copy and shadow to teach us the one who was to come as spiritual Melchizedek to bless God’s people. Through the Melchizedek in Genesis, we can find out some characteristics of Melchizedek so that we can know the spiritual Melchizedek who would come and bless God’s people. The first one is that he is the priest of God and working as mediator to bless God’s people with the forgiveness of sins. Second, he is coming with bread and wine to bless us unlike the priests of the Old Testament who practiced animal sacrifices according to the Law of Moses. And third, most importantly he represents God himself since he received tithes from Abraham, which belongs only to God.

    To fulfill the prophecies of Melchizedek, the bible teaches “another priest like Melchizedek” would appear to bless God’s people.

    Prophecy of the Appearance of Spiritual Melchizedek

    Psalm 110:1   The Lord says to my lord: “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.” 2  The Lord will extend your mighty scepter from Zion, saying,    “Rule in the midst of your enemies!” 3 Your troops will be willing on your day of battle. Arrayed in holy splendor, your young men will come to you like dew from the morning’s womb. 4 The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind: “You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.” 5 The Lord is at your right hand; he will crush kings on the day of his wrath. 6 He will judge the nations, heaping up the dead and crushing the rulers of the whole earth. 7 He will drink from a brook along the way, and so he will lift his head high.

    This verses were written by King David who lived around 1000 BC and he is speaking about a one who would appear as a priest in the order of Melchizedek. He cannot be talking about Melchizedek in the time of Abraham because the time frame of Abraham was about 1800 BC which happened about 800 years before the Book of Psalm was written. So the Melchizedek who would appear is not the Melchizedek of old, but a spiritual or prophetical Melchizedek who would appear later.

    This prophecy was about Christ who would appear as Savior to God’s people. In the time of Jesus, there was an argument about who the Christ is and Jesus quoted from this verse of Psalm to teach us that Psalm 110 was concerned about the Christ who was to come. (Matthew 22:41)

    Conclusion

    Here we come to know about physical Melchizedek in the Old Testament. And this Mechizedek was given as type or pattern to teach us the one who would come as spiritual Melchizedek to fulfill the prophecies. According to this prophecies, he would come as priest of God to mediate, he would mediate by offering bread and wine as gift to God, and he would be God himself.

    Christ Appearing as Spiritual Melchizedek

    In the next post, I would like to show the fulfillment of this prophecy of the bible. Who is the spiritual Melchizedek? What would he do? How can we recognize him? All these things through the prophecies of the bible. This prophecy of Melchizedek was finally fulfilled by Christ Ahnsahnghong who came with bread and wine of Passover to mediate for our sins so that we can receive the forgiveness of sins.

  • Why Melchizedek?

    Why Melchizedek?

    Probably there are not many who have heard of Melchizedek in the bible. And there would be still fewer who have ever studied about Melchizedek. Then why is it necessary to know about Melchizedek or the Order of Mechizedek? Who is Melchizedek? To understand the meaning of Melchizedek in the bible, let us think about some of the figures of the Old Testament.

    Typological Figures in the Bible

    To understand the spiritual connotation of Melchizedek, first we must understand a key feature in the bible which God gave us to teach us the Christ: Typology. Typology is defined like this in the Webster’s Dictionary:

    typologies. 1 : a doctrine of theological types; especially : one holding that things in Christian belief are prefigured or symbolized by things in the Old Testament.

    In Theopedia, it says:

    Biblical Typology   Typology is a method of biblical interpretation whereby an element found in the Old Testament is seen to prefigure one found in the New Testament. The initial one is called the type and the fulfillment is designated the antitype. Either type or antitype may be a person, thing, or event, but often the type is messianic and frequently related to the idea of salvation.

    In Typology the bottom line is “a person, thing, or event in the Old Testament is working as type or copy to teach us the antitype or the reality which would be fulfilled in the New Testament.” This is a very important concept to understand the meaning of the bible. The Old and New Testament are related to each other. Otherwise there would be no need for us to study the Old Testament since it is over and finished.

    But according to this concept the Old Testament is the key factor in understanding the peoples, things, and events in the New Testament because the former is working as prophecies to let us know about the latter.

    In the moment of transfiguration, We can see Jesus along with Moses and Elijah. Moses and Elijah were prophets of God in the old days. However, they also have some prophetical aspects in them which were to be fulfilled by Christ.

    Typology Explained By God’s Words

    Even the bible teaches us the same thing and let us know the bible must be understood with the typological concept of the prophecies and fulfillments.

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

    “The law” means the Law of Moses in the Old Testament and it was given as copy and shadow to teach us the reality, or the New Testament.

    Colossians 2:15   Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. 17 These (or the Law of Moses) are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.

    We have to understand the meaning behind it. Does the bible says that we don’t have to know the Old Testament anymore since the reality that is the New Tesament in Christ is established? No. Let us think about the shadow and reality. They are inseparable like the head and tail of a coin. Where there is a shadow, there should be a reality; vice versa. And we can know the reality better by looking at the shadow. So when God gave the Old Testament, he intended to teach us what was to be fulfilled by Christ in the New Testament. Therefore, we can say in this providence of God the Old Testament is essential to understand the New Testament.

    Isaiah 46:8   “Remember this, keep it in mind, take it to heart, you rebels. 9 Remember the former things, those of long ago; I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me. 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.’

    God said that he already revealed what was to come through the things in the past. And therefore, if we want to know the end or the future, we must consult the beginning or the past. For example, if we want to know the Revelations the last book of the bible, we must look at the Genesis the first book of the bible. In this sense, we can say that the two books of the bible are like pieces of a puzzle that we must put together to see the whole picture of the puzzle.

    Isa 34:16  Look in the scroll of the Lord and read: None of these will be missing, not one will lack her mate. For it is his mouth that has given the order, and his Spirit will gather them together.

    All the words of God has a mated verse and those verses are scattered all throughout the bible in the Old Testament and the New Testament, and we must find out the right piece to understand the meaning of certain verses of the bible by putting the mated verses together. And then, only then can we understand the true meaning of the bible.

    Some Examples of Typology

    I would like to give some examples of typology through some characters of the bible. Some figures of the Old Testament are working as types or prophecies to teach us the realities or the fulfillments in the New Testament. First, in the book of Genesis there is one figure Adam and this Adam was given to us to teach us the Christ who was to come as Adam.

    Adam also works as type for Christ who would come at the last day or on the sixth day.

    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.

    This verse clearly shows us that the first Adam was given as pattern or type to prefigure the Christ who was to come in the future and fulfill the prophecies of Adam. For this reason, to know the Christ first we should know the first Adam in the Old Testament which was a copy or shadow of Christ. Moses was the same. Moses was a great prophet of God who set the Israelites free from the slavery of Egypt and led them to the Promised Land Canaan. And this Moses in the Old Testament was given as type too.

    Deuteronomy 18:17  17 The Lord said to me: “What they say is good. 18 I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their fellow Israelites, and I will put my words in his mouth. He will tell them everything I command him.

    God said that he would give “another prophet like Moses” in the future to teach God’s people. Through this verse we can see Moses also was working as type or pattern to teach us the one who was to come as spiritual Moses. And this was fulfilled by Christ by coming as another prophet like Moses and setting God’s people free from the slavery of sins and death and leading to the spiritual Promised Land, the kingdom of heaven.

    Acts 3:20   and that he may send the Messiah, who has been appointed for you—even Jesus. 21 Heaven must receive him until the time comes for God to restore everything, as he promised long ago through his holy prophets. 22 For Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own people; you must listen to everything he tells you.

    Apostle Peter clearly says Jesus came as the prophetical Moses to fulfill the prophecy of the Old Testament. We can find many other figures who are working as types: David, Elijah, Melchizedek, etc.

    Melchizedek as the Type of Christ

    As we have already seen in another post, Melchizedek is also working as type to prefigure the Christ who would come as spiritual Melchizedek to fulfill the prophecies of the Old Testament.

    Hebrews 7:15    And what we have said is even more clear if another priest like Melchizedek appears.

    Then who is this “another priest like Melchizedek” who would appear in the future? It was fulfilled by Jesus Christ by coming as spiritual Mechizedek.

    Hebrews 5:7   During the days of Jesus’ life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with fervent cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission. 8 Son though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered 9 and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him 10 and was designated by God to be high priest in the order of Melchizedek.

    Who is Melchizedek? Unlike other priests of God in the Old Testament, why did Melchizedek bless Abraham with bread and wine, rather than animal sacrifice?

    Jesus came as “another priest like Melchizedek” and thus to understand Jesus fist we have to understand the Melchizedek in the Old Testament. By studying physical Melchizedek in the Law of Moses, actually we can understand the life and work of Jesus better who came to fulfill the prophecies of Melchizede. In the following posts I would like to explain more about the meaning of Melchizedek?

    Conclusion

    Therefore, people who says that we don’t need to know the Old Testaments are misguided. We MUST know the Old Testament. Without understand the types in the Old Testament given as prefiguration or simply prophecies to teach us the fulfillment or realities in the New Testament, we cannot say we know the bible or we know the Christ who fulfilled all the Law of Moses. (Matthew 5:17)

    Christ Ahnsahnghong is the one who fulfilled all the prophecies of the bible and appeared to us for the second time to give us the salvation. And he let us know the source of the water of life, the last mystery of God in the bible, God the Mother (Heavenly Mother New Jerusalem). Let us accept Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother.

  • Another Priest Like Melchizedek

    Hebrews 7:15   And what we have said is even more clear if another priest like Melchizedek appears, 16 one who has become a priest not on the basis of a regulation as to his ancestry but on the basis of the power of an indestructible life.

    Priesthood of Aaron

    In the bible, the works of the priests are very important since they were working as mediator between God and his people for the forgiveness of sins of people. According to the Law of Moses, this priesthood was given to Aaron and his descendants.

    anointing-of-aaron

    Exodus 29:9   and fasten caps on them. Then tie sashes on Aaron and his sons. The priesthood is theirs by a lasting ordinance.

    According to these words of God the priesthood was given to Aaron and his descendants and they worked for the sanctuary, serving God and giving offerings to God through animal sacrifices.Since Aaron was the first one who was anointed to be the high priest, the priesthood was called “the Order of Aaron,” named after the first high priest. Their main work was sacrificing animals for the atonement for sins.

    Leviticus 9:7   Moses said to Aaron, “Come to the altar and sacrifice your sin offering and your burnt offering and make atonement for yourself and the people; sacrifice the offering that is for the people and make atonement for them, as the Lord has commanded.”

    Priesthood of Melchizedek

    However, the bible teaches that there is “another priest like Melchizedek.” And the Order of Melchizedek is completely different from the Order of Aaron. First, in the Old Testament, the priesthood was given to the tribe of Levi because Moses and Aaron came from that tribe, but the priesthood of Melchizedek came from the tribe of Judah, a tribe which had nothing to do with priesthood of Aaron.

    Hebrews 7:13   He of whom these things are said belonged to a different tribe, and no one from that tribe has ever served at the altar. 14 For it is clear that our Lord descended from Judah, and in regard to that tribe Moses said nothing about priests.

    So this another priesthood is not coming from the tribe of Levi, but from the tribe of Judah. And also the things offered are different too. In the Order of Aaron, they sacrificed animals, but in this priesthood of Melchizedek, the offerings are different.

    Heb 8:3   Every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices, and so it was necessary for this one also to have something to offer. 4 If he were on earth, he would not be a priest, for there are already priests who offer the gifts prescribed by the law.

    Because of these and many other reasons, the priesthood in the Order of Aaron and Melchizedek are different from each other. The Order of Aaron was the priesthood based on the Law of Moses , but the Order of Melchizedek is one based on the Law of Christ. Then what is the Order of Melchizedek?

    Let us find out more about the Order of Melchizedek one by one so that we can know how to receive the forgiveness of sins in the Law of Christ.
