Prophecies related to Father Ahnsahnghong

  • A Stone In Zion

    To the people of God who trust in the words of God in the bible and who wait for the Savior to come to save them, how important is the coming of the Christ? It is the fulfillment of all the prophecies of the bible, and it is the true goal of their faith to find the Christ. But 2000 years ago when the Christ came to fulfill the prophecies of the bible, people rejected him and lost their chance for salvation. They mocked him, persecuted him, and crucified him in the end. How could this happen? How could people waiting for their Savior rejected him when he actually came?

    Christ’s Coming As Stone in Zion

    The reason they could not accept the Christ was because they could not recognize his true identity. When he came, the Christ hid his spiritual glory behind his body of flesh so throroughly that people only could see a man just like them, not the God or Christ.

    John 10:30  I and the Father are one.” 31 Again his Jewish opponents picked up stones to stone him, 32 but Jesus said to them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?” 33 “We are not stoning you for any good work,” they replied, “but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.”

    For this reason the Christ in the bible is describe as stone and his coming in the flesh is prophesied as coming as stone in Zion. Apostle Peter who correctly understood the true identity of the Christ testified that Christ came as stone in Zion to fulfill the prophecies.

    1 Peter 2:4  As you come to him (Christ), the living Stone—rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him—

    Why is Peter calling Christ as stone? It was because of the prophecies of the bible. There are many prophecies of the bible which described Christ’s coming as coming as stone in Zion.

    Isaiah 8:14  He will be a holy place;
    for both Israel and Judah he will be
    a stone that causes people to stumble
    and a rock that makes them fall.
    And for the people of Jerusalem he will be
    a trap and a snare.
    15 Many of them will stumble;
    they will fall and be broken,
    they will be snared and captured.”

    When Christ came to fulfill this prophecy of the bible, he became a stumbling block to many of the Jews who fell down and destroyed because they stumbled and captured and snared by him. But to those who accepted him he became a foundation stone for their faith so that they would not fall even in the time of hardship and extreme persecutions.

    Isaiah 28:16  So this is what the Sovereign Lord says:
    “See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone,
    a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation;
    the one who relies on it
    will never be stricken with panic.

    The Meaning of the Parable

    Then why is Christ’s coming compared to a stone? The Christ–who cannot be compared to any gemstone because he is more precious than any silver or gold, diamond or sapphire–is coming as stone which is most common objects which we do not consider as something precious or valuable. We have to understand the meaning behind it. Then why is his coming compared to a stone?

    Christ Stone in Zion

    Even though he was a Christ or the God of heaven who appeared as man in the flesh, when he came, he looked exactly like one of us, a common man or a stone. Just as a stone is no more precious than the other, when he came as man, he was no better than any of us in his appearance. His glory and power, his authority and divinity was completely hidden in the body of flesh. Therefore, people only could see a man standing in front of them: a man who gets hungry, thirsty, weak and tired, a man who was silent and seemingly powerless when persecuted, a man who could not save even himself and died on the cross.

    That is why to the Jews he was a mere or common man just like a stone that lay around them but was not cherished by anybody. His appearance as man in the flesh was represented as stone. Just as a stone is not much different from another, in the same way his appearance as man was not different from another who lived around him. Just as the bible says, when he came, God made him to be “like his brothers in every way.” (Hebrews 3:17) About his appearance, Prophet Isaiah wrote:

    Isaiah 53:2  He grew up before him like a tender shoot,
    and like a root out of dry ground.
    He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,
    nothing in his appearance that we should desire him    .
    3 He was despised and rejected by mankind,
    a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.
    Like one from whom people hide their faces
    he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.
    4 Surely he took up our pain
    and bore our suffering,
    yet we considered him punished by God,
    stricken by him, and afflicted.
    5 But he was pierced for our transgressions,
    he was crushed for our iniquities    ;
    the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
    and by his wounds we are healed.
    6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
    each of us has turned to our own way;
    and the Lord has laid on him
    the iniquity of us all.

    According to this prophecy, Christ should be rejected and persecuted by his people because he did not have anything beautiful or majestic in his appearance. Even though he was coming to take up their sins and transgression to give them the forgiveness of sins, people did not recognize his true identity because of his outward appearance. He came exactly like one of them as stone.

    Those who Accepted Christ

    Because of his appearance, he became a stumbling block, trap, and snare just as the prophecies said. And people fell, captured, snared, and destroyed because they thought that he was just a man in the flesh like one of them. But there were also a group of people–even though small in number, –who accpeted Jesus and could receive the salvation.

    John 1:9  The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 11 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— 13 children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.

    Even though many people rejected him and persecuted him, there were others who accepted him as their Savior and followed him even to the point of death. How could be possible? What was the difference between them? Those who rejected did not accept him because they saw the physical appearance of Jesus. Physically he came as stone and he was not different from any of them and therefore Jesus was just a man in their eyes. Whatever he did was a stone that made them stumble and fall. How could he feel thirsty and hungry? How could he be mocked and be silent? How could he be crucified and did not do anything to save him? With this in mind, they could say: “Prophesy who hit you! Come down from the cross if you are the Christ! Let his blood be upon our head and our children’s head.” They were so sure that he was not Christ.

    But how could the disciples accept Jesus as their savior and followed him even to the end? It was because they knew the true identity of Christ that he was God who came down to this earth as man in the flesh. And even though his divinity was veiled by his flesh, they could see the hidden divinity of Jesus.

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

    Peter knew that Jesus was Messiah. Even though people understood Jesus as man just like one of the prophets before him, but Peter said correctly that he was the Messiah, the Christ. Then how could he know the true identity of Christ?

    John 6:66 From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him. 67 “You do not want to leave too, do you?” Jesus asked the Twelve. 68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. 69 We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God.”

    At this moment all the people who had followed Jesus about 5000 of them deserted Jesus and fell away from him. Only the twelve disciples left behind. They believed him to be Christ even though he looked like a man, a stone. Even though many got stumbled because of his appearance, they could stand firm and testify that he was the Christ, the Son of God. Where did their faith come from? The difference was in the faith in the words of God. Even though 5000 people looked at Jesus and judged him with his outward appearance, the disciples held on to the words of God fulfilled through Jesus. Through the fulfillment of the words of God they could confidently say that he was the Christ, God who came as man in the flesh.

    Conclusion

    According to the same words of God in the bible, it already prophesied that the Christ would come again as man in the flesh.

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

    The bible already prophesies that he would appear for the second time. Then how? As a man in the flesh just as he appeared for the first time. He would come as stone in Zion and as a result he would become a stumbling block and trap to many. They would fall, be captured and snared and ultimately get destroyed. But only those who trust in the words of God in the bible would correctly recognize him and remain faithful to him.

    Christ Stone in Zion
    Who is this man to you?
    Who is this man to you?

    To fulfill the prophecies of the bible God came down as man in the flesh again for the second time for our salvation. He came in the name of Christ Ahnsahnghong just like one of us. As the bible says he has no beauty or majesty to attract us to him. But he is the Messiah testified in the bible. What should we do? Should we look at his physical appearance and reject him? Or should we look at the words of God? We must not look at the outward appearance of Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother New Jerusalem. We must accept them by looking at and believing in the prophecies of the bible, calling them, “You are the Christ. You are the ones who have the words of the bible.”

  • [WMSCOG] Christ Coming With Hidden Manna

    Christ gave all the information of his coming so that we would correctly recognize the one who is to come and receive salvation. Through the prophecies of the bible he let us know how, when, and where he would come. And also he let us know the true sign of Christ so that we can be sure who the true Christ is even though he would appear as ordinary man in the flesh as he appeared 2000 years ago. However, the disciples could correctly recognize him through the sign he brought, the Passover. In the same way, the Second Coming Christ would bring “the hidden manna” as his sign. Then what is the hidden manna?

    Undercover Prosecutor In Chosun Dynasty

    In the Korean history when people’s complaint reached the king, the king would sent his messenger to the place to inspect the governor of the town. And the messenger would enter into the town in the appearance of beggar or passerby in worn and patched clothes to hide his identity. If the rumor was true and people are mistreated and exploited by the governor, the messenger was given authority to depose the corrupt official. At that time, one undeniable sign was given to him by the king so that everyone could recognize the true identity of the messenger despite his unlikely outward appearance: that is, Ma-Pae, which allowed him to mobilize soldiers and people to punish the corrupt governor.

     This medallion was the sure sign of King’s messenger; therefore, when people see the medallion, they must listen to the person who carried it. However poor or pathetic may a person look, he must be obeyed as soon as he showed this medallion because he was the one who was sent by the king.

    The Sign of the Second Coming Christ

    Then in the same way, the bible says that when Christ is coming for the second time in the last days, he is to bring a sure sign that people can easily recognize him no matter what his appearance look like. Whether he is tall or short, rich or poor, handsome or not, all these things do not matter. What is important is the sure sign he is showing to reveal his identity. Then what is the sign of the Second Coming Christ so that we can recognize him? Without knowing the sign we might miss him when he comes and lost our chance for the salvation. Therefore, let us see one prophecy of his coming to find out the sign he is bringing to let us know his true identity.

    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.

    What is the stone with a new name? According to the bible, Christ is called stone because he would appear as ordinary man (stone) who are so common like stones and cannot be recognized with outward appearance. (1 Peter 2:4) Just like one stone is not different from another, outwardly Christ would not be different from any of us. So the meaning of this prophecy is Christ who is coming as man in the flesh with a new name.

    So according to this prophecy there is no way for us to recognize the second coming Christ because he would not have any physical signs in his appearance to reveal his divinity or we cannot know him even through his name Jesus because he is not coming with the name Jesus anymore. Rather, he is coming with a completely different name, hence the new name. In this situation, how can we know who the Christ is and accept him for the salvation. For that purpose, he brings one sign, that is, “Hidden Manna” as sure sign so that we may distinguish Christ from the ordinary men and also from many false christs and prophets.

    Manna, the Bread from Heaven

    Then what is “hidden manna”? To understand this first we should know what manna is and then think about the meaning “hidden.” Then what is manna? Originally, manna was the bread from heaven given to the Israelites while they were travelling in the desert for 40 years after they came out of Egypt. The bread was given as sign of salvation so that people of Israel could provide themselves in the desert and survive.

     Exodus 16:4   Then the Lord said to Moses, “I will rain down bread from heaven for you. The people are to go out each day and gather enough for that day. In this way I will test them and see whether they will follow my instructions.

    When people of Israel complained for the lack of food or water, God gave them bread from heaven so that they could eat and live in the desert. And people called this bread “manna.”

    Exodus 16: 31   The people of Israel called the bread manna. It was white like coriander seed and tasted like wafers made with honey. 32 Moses said, “This is what the Lord has commanded: ‘Take an omer of manna and keep it for the generations to come, so they can see the bread I gave you to eat in the wilderness when I brought you out of Egypt.

    This was the origin of manna in the bible. Then in the last days will God rain down bread from heaven so that we can support ourselves for our physical life? Probably not.

    True Bread From Heaven

    Then what is the true manna? Let us find out through the teachings of Jesus. To the Israelites of the time who was asking for the sign of Christ by giving them bread from heaven, Jesus teaches them the true manna that gives life for the soul (eternal life).

    John 6:30   So they asked him, “What sign then will you give that we may see it and believe you? What will you do? 31 Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written: ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’” 32 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”

    The Israelites were demanding a sign to prove that he is the Christ, God who came as man in the flesh to give them salvation. And they told Jesus to give them bread from heaven as sign just like what God had done in the time of Moses to save his people. To the people Jesus taught the true bread of God which gives eternal life to the people.

     John 6:34   “Sir,” they said, “always give us this bread.” 35 Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.

    To the people who asked bread from heaven which could sustain their physical life, Jesus taught the true bread of God which can sustain the spiritual life by giving them eternal life. And he said that he was the bread from heaven, that is, he is spiritual manna.

     John 6:48   I am the bread of life. 49 Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died. 50 But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which anyone may eat and not die. 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”

    He taught them he was the spiritual manna from heaven that could give eternal life to them.

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

    He taught them how to eat the spiritual manna to receive eternal life: you must eat my flesh and drink my blood. In other words, his flesh and blood was the spiritual manna that gives salvation to people.

    Hidden Manna
    The Hidden Manna, the Passover of the New Covenant

     Passover, the Spiritual Manna

    Then how can we eat his flesh and blood, the true manna? It is through the Passover. On the night of the Passover, Jesus took bread and wine which represents his flesh and blood and gave the blessings of forgiveness of sins and eternal life.

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

    Through these teachings Jesus was teaching people that the true manna is Christ himself and the way we can eat the manna is to eat the bread and wine of the Passover which symbolize his flesh and blood. Therefore, the bread from heaven or manna is the Passover that gives us the forgiveness of sins and eternal life. Just as God gave manna to the physical Israelites to sustain them their physical life in the desert, Christ (God) gave us the spiritual manna to the spiritual Israel people so that we can sustain our spiritual life in the spiritual desert of faith. 2000 years ago, Jesus himself taught this precious lesson that he is the bread from heaven which gives eternal life, but people deserted him and could not eat the true manna that could give them salvation. Only the twelve disciples took part in the Passover and ate the spiritual manna.

    John 6:66   From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him. 67 “You do not want to leave too, do you?” Jesus asked the Twelve. 68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. 69 We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God.”

    Hidden Manna

    After receiving the spiritual manna from the Christ, the disciples of Jesus kept this Passover until 325 AD. However, in 325 in the council of Nicaea, Emperor Constantine abolished the Passover and since then the manna became hidden from the sight of man and nobody could eat the bread from heaven to receive the eternal life. But in the Book of Revelation, Christ already prophesied that he would come bringing the hidden manna back again. Therefore, the undeniable sign of Christ is the manna, the Passover of the new covenant which is going to be restored in the last days. Only through this Passover we can know the Christ who is appearing as stone without any outward distinguishable characteristics.

    To fulfill this prophecy, Christ Ahnsahnghong restored the Passover of the new covenant which was abolished for about 1600 years since 325 AD. Finally, in our time he restored the hidden manna to give us eternal life through his flesh and blood. Then who is Christ Ahnsahnghong? Even though he came as stone by hiding his glory, through this sure sign of Christ we should know and recognize him as the true Christ who is coming with a new name. Even though he came from the small land of Korea, even though he worked as stone mason breaking stones, even though there was no beauty or majesty in his outward appearance, even though he lived an ordinary life without any significant title or authority, we must be able to see his divinity through the sign, “hidden manna” which only the Christ could bring to us according to the prophecy.

     God Coming as Man

    People during the Chosun Dynasty in Korea could know the Messenger from King through the medallion with horses on it and they did need to have any more signs. In the same way, God gave the sure sign of Christ through which we can recognize the true Second Coming Christ. We can finally eat the bread from heaven that gives us eternal life. We should not lose this chance just like the Israelites who rejected Jesus Christ because of his outward appearance. We should not be deceived by the appearance of Christ Ahnsahnghong, but must look at the fulfillment of the prophecies of the bible. And we should be able to say like Peter, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God.”

    Give thanks and praise to God Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother New Jerusalem.

  • [WMSCOG] Christ’s Coming From The East

    [WMSCOG] Christ’s Coming From The East

    The Bible prophesies that the Christ would come from the East when he comes for the second time. Where is the East in the prophecy? Let us first take a look at the prophecy of Jesus Christ. The first coming Christ came to the land of Israel and he was born in Bethlehem. Then was this just a coincidence? No, this happened to fulfill the prophecies of the bible.

    Micah 5:2   “But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient times.”

    According to this prophecy, the ruler or the king of Jews must come from Bethlehem and to fulfill this prophecy Christ came from the land of Bethlehem. Therefore, the work and life of Christ was the fulfillment of all the prophecies. In the same way, the bible already prophesied that he would come for the second time and the bible also teaches us the place where he is coming from.

    Lightning From the East

    Matthew 24:27   27 For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

    2000 years ago, Jesus compared his second coming to a lightning that comes from the east. What is the meaning of this phrase? Lightning is bright light and according to the bible light represents words of God or gospel. So the lightning from the east means that he would come from the east with words of God and shine the glory of God in the gospel from the east.

    About this Christ’s coming from the east, Apostle John also prophesied that Christ would come from the east, bringing the true words of God for salvation.

    Revelation 7:1   After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth to prevent any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree. 2 Then I saw another angel coming up from the east, having the seal of the living God. He called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea: 3 “Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God.” 4 Then I heard the number of those who were sealed: 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel.

    Just before the destruction of the world with four winds, an angel is coming from the east with the seal of God to give protection from the disasters to God’s people. In the original Greek version of the bible, it says that the angel is coming from the rising of the sun, which means he must come from the east where the sun rises from to shine the land. Then who is this angel bringing the seal of God? To teach us who will bring this seal of protection, God gave us certain signs so that we can know who is it bringing this seal. This work of God’s putting his seal is happening after a certain event (After this). Then what is this event. In just previous chapter, we can see what the event is.

    Revelation 6:12   I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, 13 and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind. 14 The heavens receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.

    To let us know the time of his putting the seal, he gave a series of signs: the darkening of sun and moon and the fall of stars and figs. After the sun and moon lose their light, another angel is coming from the east to start to give the seal of salvation to protect the people of God from the disasters. To find out the time frame let us take a look at a mated verse because each verse of the bible has its own mate. (Isaiah 34:16)

    Matthew 24:29     “Immediately after the distress of those days  “‘the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’

    2000 years ago Jesus also taught the same thing to let us know the time of his coming. We can see the same series of signs such as the darkening of the sun and moon, and the fall of stars as we have already seen in Revelation 16. And in Revelation after these signs, an angel is coming from the east with the seal of God to save them from the four winds. But in this book of Matthew Jesus teaches that it is he who comes at this time frame.

    Matthew 24:30    “Then (or After this) will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. 31 And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.

    In the Book of Matthew Jesus says that the Son of Man (Jesus) is coming after these signs to gather his elect (his people) from the four winds (disasters). Therefore, the angel who is coming with seal of God in Revelation is actually Jesus who is coming for the second time as man in the flesh (or coming on the clouds) to give salvation to his people. And where is the place he is coming from? From the EAST. When Jesus is coming he is coming from the east bringing the seal of God.

    More Prophecies Of Christ’s Coming From the East

    In the Old Testament, too, God let us know the Christ would come from the land of East.

    Isaiah 46:11   From the east I summon a bird of prey; from a far-off land, a man to fulfill my purpose. What I have said, that I will bring about; what I have planned, that I will do. 12 Listen to me, you stubborn-hearted, you who are now far from my righteousness. 13 I am bringing my righteousness near,     it is not far away; and my salvation will not be delayed. I will grant salvation to Zion, my splendor to Israel.

    As we can see in the verse 13, this is a prophecy about God’s bringing salvation to his people in Zion and Israel. To fulfill this purpose of God’s salvation, he is summon a bird of prey or an eagle. But even though an eagle is very brave and strong, it cannot bring salvation to God’s people. Then what does eagle represent? Parabolically Eagle represent God himself. (Exodus 19:4, Deuteronomy 32:11) It means God himself is coming, but right in the next sentence he is summon a man. Therefore, we can conclude that to bring his salvation God is coming as man in the flesh, namely, as Christ.

    The bible prophecies that Christ would appear two times, first for the forgiveness of sins and second for salvation. (Hebrews 9:28) And in this prophecy Christ is bringing salvation to Zion and we can say this is a prophecy about the Second Coming Christ. The Second Coming Christ must come to bring salvation. But where is he coming from?  He is coming from the east and from the far-off land. Since this book was recorded by Prophet Isaiah who lived in the land of Israel, we can say that the Second Coming Christ must come from the one of the countries from the east of Israel, and also not from the near-eastern country but from the far-off eastern country.

    Savior From the East Bringing the Living Water

    In the Book of Isaiah 41 we can see the same prophecy of Christ’s coming from the east.

    Isaiah 41:2    “Who has stirred up one (a man)from the east, calling him in righteousness to his service? He hands nations over to him and subdues kings before him. He turns them to dust with his sword, to windblown chaff with his bow. 3 He pursues them and moves on unscathed, by a path his feet have not traveled before.

    Who is this man summoned by God and what is the purpose of his coming? If we look at verse 17 and 18 of the chapter, we can see he is coming to bring the living water. He brings water as source of living water to give life to the dried and parched land. But according to the bible who is the only one who can bring the living water to give life to the soul of man? It is Christ. (John 4:14) Then is this prophecy about the First Coming Christ? No, as we have already seen, Jesus Christ came from the land of Israel, but according to this prophecy Christ must come from the east of the land of Israel. And also He must come from a completely different place where he had never set his feet before.

    Far-off Land of East, Korea

    Then what is the land which is located in the east? To find out this we must have a standing point. Since the earth is round, without a certain standard point we cannot tell the direction.

    First, the book of Revelation was written by Apostle John and when he wrote this book, he was staying at the Patmos Island, sent as prisoner. And he said that Christ is coming with the seal of God from the rising of the sun. and the book of Isaiah was written by Prophet Isaiah from the land of Israel. And he said that Christ is coming from the east from a far-off land. Then what is this land of east where Christ is coming from? It is the land of South Korea.

    If we look from the Patmos Island and the land of Israel where the prophecies were written, Korea is the land of the east they saw the Christ is coming from. Some might say there are many countries in the east of Israel. That is true. Even though there are many countries in the east of Patmos and Israel, Korea should be the land where Christ came from. We can find the reason from the purpose of his coming: He must bring the seal of God, the Passover of the New Covenant to give us protection from the last disasters and salvation. Then where did the seal of God, the Passover start from? From Korea, the far-off land from the east.

    Christ Ahnsahnghong, the Angel from the East

    Christ Ahnsahnghong fulfilled the prophecies of the bible and he came from the far-off land of East Korea as angel with seal of God. He started his ministry along with blossoming of fig tree (the idenpendence of Israel) in 1948 and preached the seal of God, the Passover until he ascended back to heaven in 1985 after fulfilling the prophecy of David.

    According to the prophecies of the bible, when the work of putting the seal is over, the four wind would be released to destroy everything on this earth. Only those who received the seal of God the Passover will be able to escape the disasters and receive the salvation and enter into the new heaven and earth. Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother Jerusalem are calling us to receive the seal of God. Whoever listens to the words of God in the bible must come to the Spirit and the bride who can give us the living water of salvation.

  • [WMSCOG] The Parable Of The Fig Tree

    [WMSCOG] The Parable Of The Fig Tree

    Parable of Fig Tree– To let us know his coming as man in the flesh, Jesus gave one parable of his coming on the clouds of heaven. And also to teach us the time of his coming, he gave us another parable: the parable of a figtree. Through this parable of the figtree we can understand the time frame of his second coming; therefore, we must take a look at this parable and understand the true meaning behind it. Unless we understand the meaning of this parable, we cannot know the time of his coming, and we will not be able to know or receive him even though he is the one who can give us salvation.

    Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and the its leaves come out, you know that the summer is near. When is the harvest time of God when he gather together all the good crops? We must learn this lesson from the fig tree.

     The Blossoming of Fig Tree

     

    Parable of Fig Tree– Then what is the parable Jesus taught to let us know the time of his coming?

    Matthew 24:32   “Now learn this lesson from the figtree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 33 Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door.

    In this parable we can see a figtree which was dead once is blossoming again by giving out the new leaves and branches. And when this figtree blossoms, it is the sign for the summer, which is the harvest season in Israel. At this time of harvest, what we should know is someone is coming for the harvest and he is standing right at the door. If we take a look at another version of the bible, the meaning of “it” becomes clear.

    Matthew 24:33   so, you too, when you see all these things, recognize that He is near, right at the door. (NASB)

    “He” in Matthew 24 is the Second Coming Christ because this chapter was given to explain about the signs of his second coming and the end of age. Therefore, the summer or the harvest time actually represents the spiritual harvest time at the end of age, and the one who is coming as harvester is Jesus himself who is coming for the second time. Then what is the lesson we should learn in this parable? It is that He will appear for the second time when the figtree is blossoming. Then what does the figtree represent? Should we understand this in a physical sense? No, it is a parable, which means it contains some hidden meaning behind it. If it is a physical figtree, the Christ must coming every year. He must appear once, twice, three times, etc. Since it has passed 2000 years since he gave this teaching, he must have come for about 2000 times.

    But since the bible says he would appear for the second time and there is no third or fourth appearance, we must know the figtree must not be understood in a physical sense. Then spiritually or prophetically what does a figtree represent?

    Spiritual Meaning of a Fig Tree

     

    To make a long story short, a fig tree represents the nation of Israel. Throughout the Old Testament and New Testament we can find examples that a fig tree means Israel. Let us confirm this through the couple of teachings of Christ himself.

    Luke 13:6   Then he told this parable: “A man had a fig tree growing in his vineyard, and he went to look for fruit on it but did not find any. 7 So he said to the man who took care of the vineyard, ‘For three years now I’ve been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any. Cut it down! Why should it use up the soil?’

    What is the meaning of this parable of fig tree? This parable was given as explanation of his ministry. According to the bible the vineyard represents the land of Israel (Isaiah 5:7) and also a fig tree means the nation of Israel. He came to the land of Israel and he was taking care of his people by preaching the gospel of the kingdom, but people did not accept him and his teaching. The fig tree did not bear fruits, which means there was no one in the nation who accepted him. For that reason, he made up his mind to destroy the nation completely.

     Cursing of the Fig Tree

     

    Parable of Fig Tree– His decision is made more clear in another parable he gave.

    Mark 11:12   The next day as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry. 13 Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs. 14 Then he said to the tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard him say it.

    In this parable, we can see Jesus cursing a fig tree for not having fruits in it. The reason there was no fruit in the fig tree was obvious for everyone. According to Mark’s word, he said simply it was because “it was not the season for figs.” Without doubts, Jesus must have known the time of figs. It was the most common tree in the land of Israel and everybody knows when it produces fruits, let alone Jesus is the God who made the fig tree. If he wanted to curse a fig tree for not having fruits in it, he should have cursed all the fig trees in the land of Israel, not just one.

    Then what is the true meaning behind this cursing of a fig tree for not having fruit? We can now understand that this was given as parable too. It contains spiritual meanings in it. Then what is the meaning of the cursing? By cursing the fig tree, symbolically Jesus was cursing the nation of Israel and people in it for not bearing the fruits of repentance. Even though God himself came down to this earth and preached the gospel to teach them the words of God and give them salvation, no one was willing to accept his teaching. For that reason he cursed the nation of Israel and that was parabolically manifested as cursing of the fig tree.

    Mark 11:20   In the morning, as they went along, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots. 21 Peter remembered and said to Jesus, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has withered!”

    What happened to the fig tree which was cursed by Jesus? It withered from the roots, which means it withered completely without any sign of life in it. This dead fig tree was given as sign of the destruction of the nation. Actually, he gave a direct teaching about the fall of Israel without using any parable in it.

    The Fall of Jerusalem Prophesied

    Luke 21:20    “When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near. 21 Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those in the city get out, and let those in the country not enter the city. 22 For this is the time of punishment in fulfillment of all that has been written. 23 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! There will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people.

    Parable of Fig Tree– In this prophecy Jesus foretold the fall of Jerusalem by the siege of armies, which actually took place in AD 70 when Jerusalem was surrounded by Roman armies led by General Titus. This is a short historical description about the fall of Jerusalem:

    Lesson from the fig tree

    Just as prophesied by Jesus Christ, the cursed fig tree got destroyed by the Roman army led by Titus in AD 70. The nation of Israel disappeared from the world history.

     While the Jews were making their preparations, the Romans were busy too. Vespasian, their outstanding general, commander of the Second Legion in the conquest of Britain, was sent out to restore Roman rule. By the year 68, after having to fight every inch of the way on his march southwards through Palestine, he had virtually isolated Jerusalem and was ready to put it under siege. As chance would have it, Rome at this time was rocked by political upheaval, and Vespasian decided to await its outcome. Meanwhile, he suspended his campaign. The political upshot was the proclamation of Vespasian as emperor in 69. He appointed his son, Titus, commander of the armies in Judea, entrusting him with the direction of the final operations against the Jews of Jerusalem. The Jews had been given a breathing space, but they squandered it on bitter and bloody internal conflict. Lack of unity had sapped their strength, and they revived and sought to compose their differences only when, in the spring of 70, Titus with his vast forces descended upon the city.

    From The Great Revolt AD 66-70, Teddy Kollek and Moshe Pearlman, Jerusalem: Sacred City of Mankind, Steimatzky Ltd., Jerusalem, 1991.

    During this six months’ siege, people suffered diseases and hunger and many died. Finally, the wall of Jerusalem was broken through and the city was completely destroyed by the army, resulting in the death of 1.1 million and captivity of 97,000 people of Israel. This was the fulfillment of the parable of a fig tree. The cursed fig tree finally got dried and dead even from the root without having any life in it. But according to the prophecy, Jesus already foretold that this fig tree which seemed to be dead completely will blossom again.

    Luke 21:24    They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

    The nation of Israel will not be in ruin forever; but rather he said that it would be restored when the time of Gentiles comes to an end. According to this prophecy, finally in 1948 the nation of Israel was restored back again. The fig tree cursed and dead even from the root started to revive again. Historians considered this event as miracle which was unprecedented before. No nation in human history could be restored back to its own land like Israel 1900 years after its fall.

    The Lesson from the Fig Tree

    Parable of Fig Tree– Then how could this happen? This miraculous thing happened as part of fulfillment of prophecies. Through this fulfillment of something inconceivable God wants to teach us a lesson. God made the impossible possible to teach us a lesson which will surely be fulfilled.

    Matthew 24:32   “Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 33 Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door.

    Blossoming of fig tree
    Declaration of the Independence of the Nation of Israel. The fig tree which had been dead for about 2000 years revived again in 1948 according to the prophecies of the bible. Then what is the lesson that we should learn from the restoration of the nation of Israel?

    The blossoming of the dead fig tree or the restoration of once stateless people of Israel was given as sign of his coming. When the proclamation of the independence of Israel was made by Ben Gurion the Prime Minister in 1948, spiritually God was making the proclamation of his coming to preach the gospel to give us salvation.

    According to the prophecy of the fig tree, Christ Ahnsahnghong started to preach the gospel as it says, “He is near, right at the door.” As spiritual King David he got baptized at the age of 30, and he started to preach the gospel from 1948 also to fulfill the prophecy of the fig tree. Ahnsahnghong is the true Christ because he is the one who fulfilled all the prophecies of the bible. Let us learn this lesson of the fig tree and we must realize that we are living in the time of his coming and earnestly seek him to receive salvation.

  • [WMSCOG] The Signs For Christ’s Second Coming

    [WMSCOG] The Signs For Christ’s Second Coming

    When Christ came 2000 years ago, his coming and all his works were the fulfillments of prophecies. His coming as man in the flesh, his birth in Bethlehem, his preaching from Galilee and his death on the cross, all these were done to accomplish what was written in the bible. That is why to Peter who tried to stop the men from the high priest arresting him he said:

    Matthew 26:52   “Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him, “for all who draw the sword will die by the sword. 53 Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels? 54 But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen in this way?”

    He wanted to fulfill the prophecies of the bible and finish all the works assigned to them so that people can trust in him. Then how about his second coming? He already taught us that he would come on the clouds of heaven, which means that he would come back as man in the flesh, hiding his spiritual glory in the flesh. And also he let us know the time of his coming too so that we can know and receive him when he comes to fulfill the prophecies.

    Noah’s Flood and the Destruction with water

    Noah’s Time

    Let us take a look at the prophecy concerning the time of his coming so that we can know the time of his coming. Many people says the time and date cannot be known because Jesus himself taught us that only God knows the time and date. Then let us read carefully to understand the true meaning so that we would not misunderstand the meaning.

    Matthew 24:36    “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 40 Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.

     

    His coming is compared to the time of Noah. Therefore, to understand his coming we must understand the time of Noah. In the time of Noah men grew wicked in the eyes of God and God decided to destory mankind completely with flood. And finally the flood came and destroyed everybody: Except for Noah. Nobody knew the time and date of coming disasters, but Noah and his family was warned in advance and they could get prepared by building a huge ark.

    Genesis 7:4   4 Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made.” 5 And Noah did all that the Lord commanded him.

     

    God let Noah know the coming disaster long time before so he could build the ark and also 7 days before the flood God let Noah know that he would send rain for 40 days to destroy all the living things from the earth. In the world of wickedness Noah was considered as righteous man and he was given the time of disasters and he could save himself. Then can we say that nobody should know the time and date? It is not true. To those who are to be destroyed the time and date are not known, but to those who are to be saved God already let them know the time and date. Let us confirm this through Lot’s story.

    Noah knew the time of the flood and he prepared for the disaster by building the ark God commanded him to make.

    Lot’s Time

    Luke 17:28   “It was the same in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. 29 But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.

     

    Again Jesus compared his coming to the time of Lot. At the moment people were not aware of any coming disasters and living their daily lives in peace, the disasters came and completely destroyed them. People were taken by surprise when they were not prepared. But is it the complete story? No. As you can already guess, Noah and his family could save themselves. Then why? Because they were warned in advance and they could escape the disaster to save themselves.

    Genesis 19:12   12 The two men said to Lot, “Do you have anyone else here—sons-in-law, sons or daughters, or anyone else in the city who belongs to you? Get them out of here, 13 because we are going to destroy this place. The outcry to the Lord against its people is so great that he has sent us to destroy it.” 14 So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry his daughters. He said, “Hurry and get out of this place, because the Lord is about to destroy the city!” But his sons-in-law thought he was joking. 15 With the coming of dawn, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Hurry! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away when the city is punished.” 16 When he hesitated, the men grasped his hand and the hands of his wife and of his two daughters and led them safely out of the city, for the Lord was merciful to them. 17 As soon as they had brought them out, one of them said, “Flee for your lives! Don’t look back, and don’t stop anywhere in the plain! Flee to the mountains or you will be swept away!”

     

    In the time of Lot, God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah along with all the people in them becuase of their wickedness, but Lot was considered as righteous in the eyes of God and he could save himself because he was warned in advance so that he and his family would escape from the disasters. Then what do these stories tell us? Through these we can know God already warns his people in advance so that they can get prapred before the coming disasters. Therefore, there are two types of people and two types of stories: first, those who do not know the time and date and are to be destroyed by the disasters, and second those who know and are to be saved.

    The Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah

    Apotles’ Understanding

    1 Thessalonians 5:1   Now, brothers and sisters, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, 2 for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3 While people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. 4 But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief. 5 You are all children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness.

    There is a group of people who will face the day of God unexpectedly and they will not be able to escape the coming disasters. But there is another group of people who will meet the day of the Lord prepared and save themselves out of disasters. Then how would it be possible for them to escape the disasters? It is because they would be warned beforehand so that they could get prepared.

    2 Peter 3:10   10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare. 11 Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives 12 as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. 13 But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.

     

    Here Apostle Peter teaches the same thing. For those who do not know the time the day of the Lord will come like thief when they are not prepared, and will destroy them. But for those who know the day, the day is the day of redemption and salvation and the day is the day when they will go to the kingdom of heaven.

    Jesus gave us a lot of prophecies about his second coming. Now we should learn his teaching from the bible that we can prepare for his second coming. The bible already teaches about his coming and provide all the information we need to find out who he is.

    Conclusion

    Therefore, when Jesus gave his teachings of the day of his coming, he was separating two types of people: People like Noah and Lot and People who were destroyed. In short, the bible teaches that there are two groups of peoples: those who are to be saved and those who are to be destroyed. To those who are to be destroyed the time and date will not be known and they will get destroyed unprepared. But those who know the time and date will be given time to get prepared so that they would receive salvation.

    Then in what group would like to be in? Those who know or those who do not know? Through the prophecies of the bible we must know the time and date and get prepared so that we can receive salvation. World Mission Society Church of God invites you to come and have knowledge about Christ’s Coming so that you can save yourself. Even though Satan works hard to cover the glory of God in the gospel, now the true gospel of the new covenant of Passover is being preached throughout the world.

    Give glory to Heavenly Father Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother New Jerusalem!

    [WMSCOG] Figurative Meaning Of Clouds In The Bible

    Formation of Clouds

    Figurative Meaning of Clouds in the Bible--Christ’s coming as man in the flesh is figuratively represented as “coming on the clouds.” Then why does the bible relate a man in the flesh to clouds? It can be understood through the formation of the physical clouds. How are the clouds formed in the sky? It is formed through a process called “the water cycle.”

    As you can see in this diagram, the water on the surface of the earth evaporates because of the heat from the sun and the evaporated water drops condense and form the clouds in the sky. So literally clouds are a body of water above separated from the original water below because of the sun. Through this formation of physical clouds, actually God teaches us the spiritual meaning of clouds in the bible. In the formation of clouds, we can see two different things are involved, that is, first water on the surface of the earth such as oceans, rivers, and lakes, and second heat from the sun.

    Biblical Meaning of Cloud
    Formation of Clouds

    Hidden Meaning in the Water Cycle

    Figurative Meaning of Clouds in the Bible-Then what is the spiritual meaning hidden behind this formation of clouds? First, we must know the reality of the water below. What does the water below represent?

    Revelation 17:1  One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits by many waters. 2 With her the kings of the earth committed adultery, and the inhabitants of the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her adulteries.

    We can see a image of a woman who is sitting on many waters. In this context, the woman represent a church as we can see in the Book of 1 Peter.

    1 Peter 5:13  She (or a woman) who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you her greetings, and so does my son Mark. 14 Greet one another with a kiss of love.

    Who is this woman? In another translation of this verse, it is written like this: “13 The church in Babylon sends you greetings.” (ERV) Through this we can see that a church is sitting on the waters, which symbolically mean controlling the waters by ruling over the waters. Then what does the waters represent? Does it mean there is a church which has control over the oceans of the earth, making a lot of money? Just as the woman is a church, the water also means something else. In Verse 15 of the Chapter, God let us know the spiritual meaning of the waters:

    Revelation 17:15  Then the angel said to me, “The waters you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages.

    It means that the waters represents all the human society of the worlds, including all the nations, languages, peoples, and races. Simply we can call the waters “Human Society” in general. So a woman sitting on many waters can mean “a church controlling the whole human society.” Through this we can see the spiritual meaning of the waters below, which means all the human beings living on the surface of the earth. Then what is the next requirement in the formation of the clouds? It is the Sun. Then what is the sun that provide the heat to make the waters evaporate to form the clouds?

    About the Christ coming down to this earth, the bible prophesies that:

    Luke 1:78  because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the rising sun (Jesus) will come to us (waters) from heaven.

    John 1:8  He (John the Baptist) was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. The true light (Jesus) that gives light to every man (waters) was coming into the world.

     Through this we can see the sun represents Jesus, who is coming as sunlight to shine his light of glory to waters or every man on the surface of the earth. Even though the sun shines its lights all over the waters, not all the waters evaporate to forms the clouds. Likewise, even though Jesus the true light shone his light of glory to all the peoples of the world or the waters, not all the peoples could accept the light of glory of God. Only a few accepted the light of glory from the Christ and spiritually they purified themselves and separated themselves from the original body of waters (the human societies) and could form clouds. In this sense, spiritually clouds are men who are spiritually born again by accepting the light of glory from the Christ. Simply you can say that the clouds represent God’s people. That is why Christ’s coming is represented as coming on the clouds or coming as man in the flesh.

    Biblical Meaning of Cloud

    Clouds Covering the Sunlight

    Figurative Meaning of Clouds in the Bible-Not only that, coming on the clouds has more meanings behind it. First, what do clouds do in the sky? It covers the light of the sun, right? Spiritually, it means Christ’s coming as man in the flesh, covering the spiritual glory of God in the flesh so that it would be hard for people to recognize the true identity of the Christ. Since he covers his glory completely in the flesh, people could not see the glory of God in Christ and they rejected him and the salvation he brought to them.

    John 1:3-9  3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not understood it. …… 9 The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 11 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.

    Even though he was God who was shining the glory of God to the peoples of the world, but they did not see the glory of God in Christ and they rejected him.

    2 Corinthians 4:3  3 And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. 4 The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

    Even though the Apostles could see the glory of God in Christ, others could not see the glory and they could not receive salvation. Then why did this happen? It was because Christ hid his glory or his light completely with cloud or his flesh.

    Coming On the Clouds
    What is it you are seeming in this picture? Is it just a man in the flesh or God who came to fulfill the prophecies of the bible? Even though he appeared as man, he was our Savior. Even though he was rejected by man, he was God who appeared as man.

    Cloud and Rain

    Figurative Meaning of Clouds in the Bible-Let us think about another meaning of clouds in the bible. Why is Christ’s coming compared to clouds? What are clouds made up of? Water drops or rain, right? In the same way, when Christ comes, he is bringing the rain or water. Then what is the spiritual water he is bringing to the world?

    Amos 8:11  “The days are coming,” declares the Sovereign Lord, “when I will send a famine through the land—not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the Lord.

    Spiritually, food and water mean the words of God. So when Christ comes, he must bring the words of God to the thirsty souls so that they can receive life for the soul. That is why when Christ came 2000 years ago, he brought us the new words of God or the new covenant so that we can receive the forgiveness of sins and eternal life through the water.

    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.

    Conclusion

    Figurative Meaning of Clouds in the Bible-For all these reasons, Christ’s coming is prophesied as coming on the clouds. Then should we still think that he will come on the clouds of heaven with visible glory and power? No. Just like everything else in the bible, clouds are also figurative and parabolic. When Jesus prophesied that he would come on the clouds of heaven in the last days in his second coming, what he actually meant was that he would come as man in the flesh hiding his glory and power and bringing the words of God (water) to give us salvation. That is why he must come as man in the flesh for the second time and he must restored the words of God which were abolished by the work of Satan during the Dark Ages and gives us the back the true words of God to give us salvation.

    Now even though other people do not know the light of glory of God since their eyes are veiled, we as God’s people in Zion can see the glory of God, which gives us salvation. The glory of God shining from the Second Coming Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother Jerusalem. God is shining the true light at this moment, calling us to come so that we can receive the water of life, the true words of God that give us eternal life. Come to Zion, the World Mission Society Church of God.

  • [WMSCOG] Second Coming Christ Coming On The Clouds

    [WMSCOG] Second Coming Christ Coming On The Clouds

    The bible is written in parable. That is why we must be careful in interpreting the words of God in the bible. If we misunderstand the meaning, then we cannot know the plan of God’s salvation for us and we might miss the salvation he has prepared for us. Now let us understand how would the Christ appear in the last days. The Bible teaches that he would come on the clouds of heaven. What is the meaning of this parable of clouds?

    Coming on the Clouds

    In Matthew 24, Jesus Christ already let us know everything about his coming in the last days. If you read from the first verse to the third verse we are given the information about this chapter. And this chapter concerns mainly about three questions of the disciples: first, the time of the fall of Jerusalem, second, the sign of his coming or his second coming, and third the sign of the end of the age. To give answers for these three questions of the disciples, Jesus gave this chapter so this chapter contains information about his second coming. Then let us take a look at one of the prophecies of his second coming to find out how he would appear in the last days.

    Matthew 24:30 Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man (Jesus) in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory.

    Christ's Coming on the Clouds
    The bible prophesies that the Christ would come again on the clouds of heaven? Will he come on the physical clouds of heaven? Or is it a parable?

    Jesus foretold that he would come on the clouds of heaven, with power and glory. Because of this many people says that he would descend from heaven on cloud with the glory of God to make a judgment on the peoples of the world. This interpretation, however, can be misleading because just like everything else in the bible “clouds” does not necessarily means the physical clouds of sky, but it could have some figurative meanings. That is why first we should know what is the meaning of clouds in this context.

    Then to understand the meaning of the clouds what should we do? Should we go to the library and search the books on the bible or clouds? Or should we ask the opinions of scholarly men? No, all these are useless because it is only God who can give the answer for the question and the words of God is recorded in the bible. Therefore, to know the meaning of “clouds” we must search the bible for the answer.

    First Coming Christ and Clouds

    To understand the meaning of the clouds we must first look at the prophecy of the first coming Christ and find out any related point for his coming again on the clouds. One of the prophecies of the first coming Christ is directed related to this prophecy of his coming on the clouds.

    Daniel 7:13  13 “In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. 14 He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all nations and peoples of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.

    Then who is this son of man who received authority, glory and sovereign power (or kingdom) for the Ancient Days (or God)? Let us see the fulfillment of this prophecy.

    Matthew 28:28 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

    We can see it was Jesus who was given authority from God. Then how about glory?

    John 17:22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one

    Jesus was the one who received glory from God. And about kingdom the bible says;

    Luke 22:29 And I confer on you a kingdom, just as my Father conferred one (a kingdom) on me, 30 so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

    It was Jesus who was given “authority, glory and sovereign power (kingdom)” from God, and therefore, we can say it was Jesus who fulfilled the prophecy of Daniel 7. Then let us think about Jesus coming 2000 years ago. Did he come with physical authority, glory and kingdom? Did he really come down from heaven on clouds? No, he was born as man in the flesh and the authority, glory and kingdom he was given was all spiritual, not physical. That is why people rejected Jesus even though he was Christ or Savior they had been waiting. In the eyes of people of the time Christ was just a man in the flesh like one of them.

    Clouds, Man in the flesh

    Therefore, we can see the clouds means a man in the flesh living on this earth. We can confirm this through many testimonies of the bible. The bible describes man in the flesh as clouds. According to the bible, a false prophet who does not have the true words of God is called “cloud without rain.”

    Proverbs 25:14  Like clouds and wind without rain is one (a false prophet) who boasts of gifts never given.

    Jude 1:12   These people are blemishes at your love feasts, eating with you without the slightest qualm—shepherds who feed only themselves. They (false prophets) are clouds without rain, blown along by the wind; autumn trees, without fruit and uprooted—twice dead.

    “Rain or water” in the bible means “words of God.” Therefore, clouds without rain means a man with no words of God in him or a false prophet. In this sense what should then we call the true prophets of God, those who have the words of God in them? They are simply called clouds because clouds always contains water in them.

    Hebrews 12:1  Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles.

    In Chapter 11, he was speaking about the true prophets of God such as Abel, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, etc. And in Chapter 12, he called them “cloud” because they were “men in the flesh who had true words of God in them.”

    Coming on the Clouds
    When Jesus came as man in the flesh 2000 years ago, he hid all his glory in the clouds of his body. Because of that, people did not recognize the identity of Jesus and rejected him, saying, “You are a mere man claiming to be God.”

    Conclusion

    Therefore, in the bible clouds have symbolic meaning and it is used as metaphor to mean “a man in the flesh.” Then what does it mean when Jesus said that he would come on the clouds of heaven in the last days? Should we still interpret that he would fly down from heaven on clouds? No, now we must understand the figurative meaning of clouds in the bible. It means He would come back again as man in the flesh in the last days with spiritual glory and power to save his people.

    If this is true meaning of cloud, then what would happen to the people who are waiting for the Christ who comes on physical clouds of heaven. Just like the Jews who were waiting for their Messiah coming on the physical clouds in heaven with visible glory and power could not receive salvation because they rejected Christ who came as man in the flesh without recognizing the true identity of Jesus, in the same way Christians who are waiting for Jesus coming on the physical clouds of heaven with visible glory and power will miss the Christ who silently comes down to this earth as man in the flesh by being born as baby as in his first coming and they will lose their chance for salvation.

    Now we must have spiritual eyes like apostles 2000 years ago to know the glory of the second coming Christ who came as man in the flesh to save us in this last days. It is Christ Ahnsahnghong who fulfilled this prophecy by coming as man in the flesh with rain (the true words of God) to save us. He restored the truth of the new covenant: Sabbath, Passover, Veil, and all other festivals of God.

  • [WMSCOG] Prophecies Of Christ Coming For The Second Time

    [WMSCOG] Prophecies Of Christ Coming For The Second Time

    Christ in Greek and Messiah in Hebrew means the same thing, that is, “the Anointed One.” If you look at the history of Israel, three types of people could be anointed with holy oil, namely, the king, the high priest, and the prophet.

    Anointing Ceremony and its Meaning

    Exodus 29:7 Take the anointing oil and anoint him by pouring it on his head.

    Aaron was anointed in this way to be the high priest. When a person was anointed, the anointing oil was poured on his head during the ceremony. After this ceremony, he could do the work assigned to him as king, or high priest, or a prophet. This anointing ceremony has a significant meaning behind it. Since the person was chosen by God, when the chosen one was anointed, God gave his Spirit to the person so that he can have power to fulfill the mission given to him.

    1 Samuel 10:1 Then Samuel took a flask of oil and poured it on Saul’s head and kissed him, saying, “Has not the LORD anointed you leader over his inheritance?”…..”The Spirit of the LORD will come upon you in power, and you will prophesy with them; and you will be changed into a different person.” …. As Saul turned to leave Samuel, God changed Saul’s heart, and all these signs were fulfilled that day. When they arrived at Gibeah, a procession of prophets met him; the Spirit of God came upon him in power, and he joined in their prophesying.

    When Saul was anointed, he received the power of the Spirit of God given to him to lead and save the Israelites from their enemies around.

    Daivd Anointed As King By Samuel

    Spiritual Fulfillment of Anointing

    Just like all the Old Testament regulations, this anointing ceremony has its own reality. This regulation was given to teach us the true “Anointed One” who is coming as King, High Priest, and Prophet which was fulfilled by Jesus by being anointed to work as king, prophet, and high priest. Spiritually Jesus got anointed by baptism and received the Spirit of God.

    Luke 4:18  The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor.

    The moment he got baptized, the heaven opened and the Spirit of God came down upon him like a dove. At this moment he was anointed by God to be the King like David, the Prophet like Moses, and the High Priest like Melchizedek.

    Luke 1:31  He will be great and called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David

    He was anointed to be spiritual King David, and also,

    Acts 3:22 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.

    He was anointed to be spiritual Prophet Moses, and again,

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

    Here we can see he was anointed to be the High Priest like Melchizedek.

    The Second Coming Christ

    Therefore, the Christ or the Messiah means God himself coming as man in the flesh and getting anointed to be King to rule over Israel by establishing his kingdom, and to be Prophet to teach the true words of God to his people, and finally to be the High Priest to mediate between God and his people so that people can receive the forgiveness of their sins and to be cleansed from all the impurities.

    To fulfill the prophecies of the Old Testament, Christ came down to this earth as man in the flesh even though he was God in heaven. The same bible says that he would come again as Christ, that is, as the Anointed One to be anointed again by coming down to this earth in the flesh.

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

    Just as he appeared for the first time as man in the flesh, he will appear a second time as man in the flesh and we call it this as “the Second Coming of Christ.” Many people misunderstand about his second coming and say that he would come with all the spiritual glory of God. But that is not true. The day when God is coming with his spiritual glory is the Day of Judgment, but according to the bible before the Day of Judgment, God must come as man in the flesh again to gather his people and teach them the truth so that they would know the will of God and follow the will of God to be saved on the Day of Judgment.

    If God come as judge to make a final judgment for the people of the world, there would be no one to be saved in the last days.

    Luke 18:8  I tell you, He will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?

    This means when he comes for the second time in the last day, he would not be able to find any faith or anyone who truly believe in God. (ERV) In this situation if Jesus is coming as Judge, who would be saved? No one. That is why he must come as Anointed One for the second time to, establish God’s kingdom, to teach his people, and to mediate between God and his people so people of God who would have no faith in God could be forgiven of their sins and they could return to God so that there would be a reconciliation between God and his people. About this Messiah coming who can bring the reconciliation, Prophet Malachi writes:

    Malachi 4:5  See, I will send the prophet Elijah to you before that great and dreadful day of the LORD comes. He will turn the hearts of the parents to their children, and the hearts of the children to their parents; or else I will come and strike the land with total destruction.

    Without this reconciliation the land which means this earth and everything in it including human beings will be completely destroyed. That is why to save his people for the coming destruction, God must come back now as the prophet like Elijah to teach his people the truth and to bring the hearts of people to God. About his second coming, Jesus testified like this:

    John 14:15  If you love me, keep my commands. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate (Counselor) to help you and be with you forever–the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.

    The advocate–in original Greek version, Parakletos (παράκλητος) or Counselor–is Jesus himself. This means he is coming as Counselor for the second time. Then what is the purpose of his coming? To make judgment and to bring destruction to the earth?

    John 14:26 But the Advocate, 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.

    What is the purpose of the coming of the Counselor? To teach and remind us of everything Jesus taught us. Then why should he come again and remind us again? It is because we must have forgotten the teachings he gave us so we must learn things one more time. That is why in Luke he said that he would not be able to see any faith on the earth when he comes back again. People would forget the teachings of Christ and have lost faith in him. That is why before the Day of Judgment he would come again to teach us and to remind us his teachings and to restore the faith toward him for the second time.

    Melchizedek, the Anointed One as High priest

    Conclusion

    Through all these prophecies of the bible we can be sure that he would come back again as man in the flesh to teach us and to bring the reconciliation between God and his people. But he already warned that many will not accept him. If Jesus would appear in the full spiritual glory of God, everybody will accept him. But he already foretold that people will not accept him. Then why? Just as people rejected Jesus just because he appeared as man in the flesh even though he was God himself, people will reject him again because he would appear as man in the flesh for the second time. About his second coming Jesus also prophesied:

    Luke 17:24 For the Son of Man in his day will be like the lightning, which flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other. But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

    While teaching about his second coming, Jesus gave this words and he said that he would suffer and be rejected by the people of the generation. If he appears with full glory of God, who would reject Jesus? The reason He should be rejected by people in his second coming is because he is coming as an Anointed One or as man in the flesh for the second time. He must come back again as High Priest Melchizedek, Prophet Elijah, King David.

    That is why we must have spiritual eyes through the bible to know the true identity of Christ hidden behind his physical appearance.

  • [WMSCOG] The One Who We Should Wait For

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Let us proclaim the salvation of Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother Jerusalem till the end!!

  • Those Who Are Waiting For The Christ

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

    I have already come

     This is a prophecy about Christ who is coming for the second time to this earth. He must appear a second time and bring salvation to those who are waiting for him. That is why those who are waiting for the Christ always want to know about the Christ who will come in the last days. When will he come? In what form would he come? What would be the sign of his coming? Disciples of his first coming also eagerly wanted to know about all these information about his second coming so that they would meet him to receive salvation?

    Mt 24:1   Jesus left the temple and was walking away when his disciples came up to him to call his attention to its buildings. 2 “Do you see all these things?” he asked. “Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.” 3 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”

    They wanted to know about his second coming and they asked about the things that would happen in the time of his coming so that they would know the time for his coming through the signs. To answer these questions Jesus gave a lot of teaching about the signs of his coming in the last days. Therefore, we also must know the signs he gave his disciples so that we would not miss him when he is coming. Then how would he come? In what form or way would he appear to us? The bible says, “He will appear a second time.” Through this we can get the hint of his second time. This sentence means he would appear a second time just as he appeared for the first time. Then how did Christ appear the first time? Even though he was God, he appeared to us as man in the flesh.

    We can find out the Christ coming even through the word, “Christ.” Christ means “an Anointed One.” In the time of the Old Testament three types of people could get anointed: first kings, second high priest, and last prophet. So the Anointed One means a person who gets anointed to be a king, a high priest, and a prophet. Simply it was given to teach us the Christ in Greek or Messiah in Hebrew who would appear to his people to be a king, a high priest, and a prophet. This prophecy was, as we already know, fulfilled by Jesus who appeared to God’s people as Anointed One or Christ. He appeared as man in the flesh just like one of us and spiritually got anointed through his baptism to be a king, high priest, and prophet to the Jews. (John 18:37, Hebrews 5:10, Acts 3:22) Therefore, Christ means God who is coming as man in the flesh to get anointed as Savior for his people. This is how Christ appeared for the first time.

    Then through this first coming we must understand his second coming too. The bible says he would appear a second time to bring salvation. Then how would he appear a second time? Many says that he would appear in his spiritual glory among the clouds and with a loud trumpet call with all the heavenly angel to make a judgment for all the people of the world. This is not true at all. Because Jesus himself prophecied that he would appear as man in the flesh for the second time and the purpose of his coming for the second time is not to make a judgment, but to bring salvation. It means his second coming is not for the destruction, but for eternal life. He foretold that the world would be filled with lawlessness in the last days and all the people would follow and worship the dragon (the Satan) in the last days without having the knowledge of God. In this situation, if he comes to make a judgment, who would receive salvation? Nobody.

    Luke 18:8   8 I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?

    This is not  a question, but he says that he would not be able to find faith on this earth. Then when he comes to this faithless world as judge in the last days, who would receive salvation? Through this we can see he must not appear among the cloud with full spiritual glory to make a judgment. Let us confirm one more time.

    Luke 12:49     “I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! 50 But I have a baptism to undergo, and what constraint I am under until it is completed!

     

    He said that he must be baptized again in the future. Baptism is one time ceremony to be born spiritually on this earth. But Jesus said that he must be baptized again. Then what does this mean? It means he must come as man in the flesh for the second time and he must be baptized for the second time. In short, he is teaching us that he must come again as the Anointed One or Christ in the future to be a king, high priest, and a prophet. In the Book of John he teaces the same thing.

    John 10:16   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.

    He came as shepherd for the Jews 2000 years ago, but now he was prophesying that he must come as shepherd for the sheep outside the pen, which means Gentiles who were once not considered as people of God. He must come for the Gentiles and preach to them too, Then if Christ is coming as judge without preaching to the Gentiles, what would happen to the Gentiles? They would be destroyed, right? Therefore, he must appear for the second time as Anointed One and must preach the words of God to the people who did not know God and give them salvation. According to the bible he must come for the seocnd time as man in the flesh in secret and preach the gospel to his people to gather them together in the last days.

    In the parable of “Weeds and Wheat” Jesus said that he would send out his angels at the harvest time or the end of age and pull out all the weed to tie them into bundles and burn in the fire. And also he would gather all the wheat or his people in the heavenly barn. About his Apostle John explains in the Book of Revelation:

    Revelation 7:1   After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth to prevent any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree. 2 Then I saw another angel coming up from the east, having the seal of the living God. He called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea: 3 “Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God.” 4 Then I heard the number of those who were sealed: 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel.

    “Four winds” means disasters coming from all the four corners of the earth, which brings complete destruction for land, sea, and tree. The day when the winds are released is the Day of Judgment. But just before the Day of Judgment, God send out his angel to seal his people to give protection from the disasters so that they could receive salvation. Who would this angel be who brings “the seal of God”? Who has the authority to use the seal of God? The seal of a king can be exercised by the King himself. In the same way, the one who bring the seal of God is God himself coming down to bring  salvation. That is the Second Coming Christ “who appears to bring salvation.” According to the bible, the seal of God which gives protection for the disasters is the Passover. Therefore, the angel who brings the seal of God is Christ who brings to restore the Passover of the new covenant which was abolished by Emperor Constantine in 325 BC. According to this prophecy, the one who brings the seal of God (or salvation) is the Second Coming Christ who we should wait for. Then at our time, who restored the Passover the seal of God again for us so that we can be protected from disasters? It is Christ Ahnsahnghong. Nobody on this earth could restore the Passover because God’s prophecy can be accomplished only by God himself. No wise man or scholar can understand the words of God in the bible. Therefore, Ahnsahnghong, even though he came in humble human form from a unknown family and country, is the Christ who we have been waiting for salvation.

    All those who are waiting for the Christ who appears for the second time to bring salvation must come to Christ Ahnsahnghong and keep the Passover of the new covenant to receive the seal of God. Also we must receive God the Mother who is the reality of the new covenant, the true reality of Adam’s flesh and blood which gives us salvation.
