The bible teaches about the Christ in many ways. The most prominent way is through the characters of the past God is teaching us about the Christ who is coming in the future and the one of the characters is David. The bible teaches us that we must seek David for salvation in the last days.
Hosea 3:4 For the Israelites will live many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred stones, without ephod or household gods. 5 Afterward the Israelites will return and seek the Lord their God and David their king. They will come trembling to the Lord and to his blessings in the last days.
This is a prophecy about the last days and thus the Israelites are not physical anymore, but spiritual.
Roman 2:28 A person is not a Jew who is one only outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical. 29 No, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code.
By Jesus coming down to this earth, the promise of God could be given even to the Gentiles, who were not once considered as people of God so that they now could be the people of God who can receive salvation. So the Jews or Israelites in the last days are the spiritual ones. And then who is the David they should seek in the last days? The Book of Hosea was written in about 750 BC and it was about 250 years after the death of David the king of Israel. Therefore, the king David in the prophecy is not about physical David, who was the second king of Israel, but about spiritual David who would come in the name of David in the last days. Then who is the spiritual David that God’s people must seek for the blessings in the last days?
Revelation 22:16 “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star.”
Who is the Root of David?
Jesus is the spiritual David who was to come in the last days. Therefore, the spiritual Israelites must seek the Jesus who is coming second time for salvation in the last days. Without knowing the David in the last days, there is no blessings of salvation, and no salvation there would be no kingdom of heaven. That is why God’s people who are living in the last days must seek the Second Coming Christ who is coming as King David. Then how would they be able to recognize Christ coming as King David? Jesus already foretold that there would be many false prophets and false Christ in the last days when he comes for the second time.
Matthew 24:23 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. 24 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you ahead of time.
What is the way for us to recognize the true Christ coming in the last days? In the last days, to deceive people and hinder people from recognizing the true Christ many false prophets and false Christ would appear and if we do not have the spiritual eyes to know the true Christ, we might be deceived by a false one and might be led astray. To help us know the true Christ, God already gave a sign which belongs to the Christ who was to come as spiritual King David. Then what is the sign given to David?
Isaiah 55:1 “Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost. 2 Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and you will delight in the richest of fare. 3 Give ear and come to me; listen, that you* may live. I will make an everlasting covenant with you, my faithful love promised to David.
* or your soul (NIV 1984)
Out of God’s love to David, God gave a promise to David through an everlasting covenant so that the soul could live. Therefore, the Second Coming Christ who is coming as King David in the last days must bring this everlasting covenant that gives life to the soul, that is, eternal life. This is the promise of God only given to David so that people could recognize the true David, the Second Coming Christ in the last days. Then what is this everlasting covenant that gives life to the soul? If we take a look at Jesus who also came as spiritual David 2000 years, we can know the covenant that gives life to the soul. Jesus who came David established one covenant with his people and that was the new covenant of the Passover.
Luke 22:19 19 And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.” 20 In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.
Jesus, the spiritual David gave a new covenant on the night of Passover through his flesh and blood. In the book of Isaiah God called this covenant as the everlasting covenant and it was given to his people to give life to their soul, that is, eternal life. Likewise the new covenant Jesus made with his flesh and blood has also power to give life to the soul so that the mortal man can have eternal life in heaven.
John 6:53 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.
What was the way we could eat the flesh and blood of Christ? It was the new covenant of the Passover. Then why did Jesus establish the new covenant? To give eternal life or the life for the soul. The people of this world are under the slavery of sins and death. This life on this earth is short and would come to an end at one point and nobody can live forever. Jesus came 2000 years ago as spiritual David and established the new covenant to set us free from the slavery of sins and give us salvation the true blessing we must receive to enter the kingdom of heaven. And according to the bible the same Jesus who came 2000 years ago must come again in the last days, bringing the everlasting covenant again.
Then why should he come back again as spiritual David for the second time and why should he bring the new covenant or the everlasting covenant back again? It is because the new covenant Jesus established with his flesh and blood was abolished by the work of Satan. In the council of Nicaea, Roman Emperor Constantine nullified the everlasting covenant that gives life to the soul. Ever since people could not receive the promise of God, eternal life. There were many biblical scholars and religious reformers and leaders, but nobody could bring this new covenant back again to give us eternal life. It was because this promise was only given to spiritual David, Christ. Only the Christ who is coming in the last days would be able to bring back this Passover so that people can recognize the true Christ. This new covenant was given as symbol to teach us the true Christ who is coming in the last days.
Jesus who came as King David
Even though there might be many false Christ, through the new covenant Passover we can know the true Christ. Then who restored the new covenant in our time? No scholars or no biblicist could teach us the Passover and nobody could know it despite their wisdom and knowledge. It was only Christ Ahnsahnghong who could restore the Passover along with all the festivals of God. Then who is Christ Ahnsahnghong? There is only one answer: He is the spiritual David that we must seek to receive the blessings of salvation because this everlasting covenant was God’s promise given only to David. It is only prophetical David who can restore the new covenant!! Christ Ahnsahnghong came as spiritual David and gave his flesh and blood through the Passover bread and wine and he is giving us the life for the soul, eternal life. Let us seek Christ Ahnsahnghong and the forgiveness of sins coming from him. Then he will grant us eternal life, the true blessing we must receive in the last days. And he taught us the true reality of his flesh and blood, the true reality of the new covenant, Our Mother. We should obey Mother because she is the reality of the covenant or the Word of God. She is the Word who came in the flesh in the Book of John.
John 1:14 14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
About our Mother who is coming in the last days and makes a dwelling among her people in the flesh, he also wrote in the Book of Revelation:
Revelation 21:2 2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.
What is the Heavenly Jerusalem? Apostle Paul testifies in the Book of Galatians that the Heavenly Jerusalem is our Mother. Then what does it mean the heavenly Jerusalem comes down from heaven and put God’s dwelling among his people? It means that our Mother the reality of the Word of God would come down from heaven and make a dwelling among her people in the last days. To fulfill the prophecy our Mother came down to us to give us the covenant of God, the promise of eternal life. And the bible says those who receive the heavenly Jerusalem would be able to be called God’s people. Therefore, we must accept the new Jerusalem, our Mother. Let us give praise and thanks to the Spirit and the Bride who give the water of life to us!
According to the bible Adam represents Christ, but then who does Eve represent? Let us find out the answer for this question through the teachings of Christ. 2000 years ago, Jesus said, “Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life,” and gave the new covenant of the Passover through which we would be able to receive the flesh and blood of Christ and eternal life. But there is something more in this teaching of Christ.
Jesus Teaches in Parables
Matthew 13:34 Jesus spoke all these things to the crowd in parables; he did not say anything to them without using a parable.
A parable is a figurative language which contains hidden secrets in it. It means all the teachings of Jesus was given in the parabolic term and those teachings contain some hidden meaning in it. Then we can easily assume that there must be also some secret meaning behind this teaching of Jesus about his flesh and blood. To understand the secret hidden in the Passover, we must understand the story of Adam.
Hidden Secret in the Flesh and Blood of Christ
Jesus and Adam
Romans 5:14 14 Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who is a pattern of the one to come.
Adam was given to us as pattern to teach us about “the one who was to come.” Then who is “the one to come”? According to the prophecies of the bible, ‘the one to come’ is Christ who was to come or appear two times. It means Adam was actually given to us as type to show the Christ who was to come in the future. Therefore, by looking at Adam in the Old Testament we can actually know who the Christ would be who was to come as spiritual Adam.
Jesus’ Flesh and Blood Hidden in the Story of Adam
Eve the Flesh and Blood of Adam
Therefore, to know the meaning of Jesus’ flesh and blood we must first look at Adam. Adam represents Christ so Adam’s flesh and blood means Christ’s flesh and blood. Through Adam’s flesh and blood, we can come to know the reality of Christ’s flesh and blood. Then what is Adam’s flesh and blood? Let us take a look at the story of Adam?
When God created Eve, he used Adam’s bone and flesh. Actually, “bone” represents blood because the blood is produced from the marrow inside the bones. After creating Eve with Adam’s flesh and bone (or blood), Adam testified like this:
Genesis 2:23 23 The man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.”
When Eve was brought to Adam, Adam testified to Eve as his flesh and blood.
The Reality of the Flesh and Blood of the Christ
So through this story of Adam we can see the reality of Christ’s flesh and blood which gives eternal life to those who eat them. Just as Jesus represents Adam, Christ’s flesh and blood represents Eve, Adam’s wife who was created with Adam’s flesh and blood.
Through the story of Adam actually God was teaching us the wife of the spiritual Adam the Christ who can give us the eternal life. Then when is the time for Eve to appear? Let us study the story of Adam a little bit more.
Eve Represents God the Mother the Spiritual Last Eve
Creation of Eve
When God created Eve, first he put Adam into a deep sleep and took his flesh and blood to create Eve.
Genesis 2:21 21 So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and then closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.
Before the creation of Eve, first Adam must be put into a deep sleep and then Eve could be revealed. In the same way, for the wife of Christ, the spiritual Adam to be revealed, first Christ must be put into a deep sleep. And the side of Christ must be opened to break the rib bone and flesh so that the spiritual Eve could be created. What does it mean that Christ must be put into a deep sleep?
John 11:11 11 After he had said this, he went on to tell them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going there to wake him up.” 12 His disciples replied, “Lord, if he sleeps, he will get better.” 13 Jesus had been speaking of his death, but his disciples thought he meant natural sleep. 14 So then he told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead.”
To talk about the death of Lazarus, at first Jesus used a figurative language, ‘sleeping’ and then later explained to the disciples in a plain language without using a parable that he is dead. So spiritually sleeping means ‘death.’
The Appearance of the Spiritual Eve, the Bride of Christ
For the creation of Eve, Adam must be put into a deep sleep and this means that for the wife of Christ to be revealed Christ must be first put to death and his side must be broken open. 2000 years ago we can clearly see how Jesus fulfilled this prophecy of Adam when he came for the first time.
John 19:33 But when they came to Jesus and found that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. Instead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus’ side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water.
The spiritual Adam, Jesus was figuratively put into a deep sleep and while he was sleeping his side was broken open and his rib bone was broken producing blood. Through his death on the cross he fulfilled the prophecy of Adam to reveal Eve, his true flesh and blood.
The Appearance of the Last Adam and Last Eve
Eve Means “Life”
Then why should Eve be revealed? Because she is the one who was created to give “Life” to people. The name, Eve means “LIFE,” and even from the beginning God planned the life through Eve.
Genesis 3:20 Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become the mother of all the living.
In the meaning of Eve in the Hebrew word is “Living or Life.” Even from the beginning God created Eve to give life. Without Eve, the Mother of all the Living, there can never be any life for the living in the spiritual sense. This was also prophecy about the Christ’s wife who would be revealed as the source of life. Through the sacrifice of Christ God fulfilled the prophecy of Adam and his death so that Eve, Adam’s flesh and blood could be created.
The Time of the Appearance of Eve
Then when would Eve appear? Since she is Adam’s wife, she would appear along with her husband Adam, that is, the Second Coming Christ who was to appear in the last days. And in the book of Revelation, the bible says that Christ, the Last Adam will appear with his wife, the Last Eve in the last days.
Revelation 19:7 Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready.
When the Lamb is coming for the second time in the last days, he is coming along with his wife, the last Eve.
The Purpose of the Appearance of the Last Eve
Then what is the purpose of Eve’s coming? To give life as the mother of all the living. 2000 years ago Jesus gave his flesh and blood through the Passover bread and wine until the reality of the flesh and blood of Christ be revealed in the last days. By revealing Eve in the last days, God is teaching that the reality of Christ’s flesh and blood that gives eternal life is actually the wife of Christ, the Last Eve, the Mother of all the living.
Who is the Last Eve, the Bride of Christ?
If we look at Revelation 21:9, the bible teaches us the bride and wife of Christ is the Heavenly Jerusalem coming down from heaven. And Paul teaches the reality of the Heavenly Jerusalem and says, “But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our Mother.” The heavenly Jerusalem is our Mother or the Mother of the living. Here “Our” means God’s people who will receive eternal life and they must have spiritual Mother who can grant them eternal life.
This prophecy was already fulfilled by Christ Ahnsahnghong who came as the Last Adam and Our Mother Heavenly Jerusalem who came as the bride of the Lamb, the Last Eve. Christ Ahnsahnghong taught us that Mother is the one who can give us eternal life and we must listen to Mother for the life. Thanks to heavenly Father and Mother for their great love and sacrifice!!
The bible teaches the lessons through the physical things of the earth. Since human beings cannot perceive the spiritual world, God always teaches human beings through something they can understand, things they can see and know in everyday life. Since the family system in heaven is indescribable with human knowledge, God simply uses the terms used in an earthly family such as father, mother and children.
Also God uses historical figures to teach us the Christ. One of the characters of the Old Testament used to represent Christ is King David. Then why is Christ represented as King David? It is because Christ and King David share certain characteristics. Since we don’t know Christ, who is spiritual, we must take a look at King David first to know who the Christ is. By looking at the life and work of physical King David, God let us know the Christ who would fulfill those works of David spiritually. Let us find out the relationship between Christ and David through Zion, the city of David.
The Life and Work of King David
Then why is the Christ called King David? Let us first take a look at the life and work of King David.
2 Samuel 5:4 David was thirty years old when he became king, and he reigned forty years. 5 In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned over all Israel and Judah thirty-three years. 6 The king and his men marched to Jerusalem to attack the Jebusites, who lived there. …. 7 Nevertheless, David captured the fortress of Zion—which is the City of David. 9 David then took up residence in the fortress and called it the City of David. He built up the area around it, from the terraces[b] inward. 10 And he became more and more powerful, because the Lord God Almighty was with him.
Jesus Coming as King David
This is the work of David: he became king at the age of 30 and ruled his people 40 years and built Zion, the city of David for him and his people as a dwelling place. This work of David was given to us as prophecy, so that we would be able to know the Christ who would come and fulfill the prophecy spiritually. 2000 years ago, Jesus came King David and fulfilled the prophecy:
Luke 1:32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.
The Spiritual Kingdom of God
He came as David to reign over his people establishing a kingdom. But we should not think all these things spiritually. Then what is his throne and what was his kingdom?
Luke 22:29 And I confer on you a kingdom, just as my Father conferred one on me.
Jesus definitely received a kingdom from God and gave it his disciples, but in the physical sense none of the disciples were kings ruling over a physical kingdom. Therefore, we must know the spiritual meaning behind it. Then how did Jesus fulfill the work of David? Then what is the spiritual kingdom Jesus established? The Zion, the city of David David established as dwelling for him and his people. Then what is the spiritual Zion Jesus should establish as spiritual King David?
Isaiah 33:20 Look on Zion, the city of our festivals; …. 21 There the Lord will be our Mighty One. …. 22 For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; it is he who will save us.
Jesus Establishing Zion
What is the spiritual Zion? It is a church that keeps the festivals of God. And God himself is dwelling as king, giving laws of God to his people. So Zion, the spiritual dwelling place of God and his people is a church where God’s people gather together and keeps the festivals of God. Zion is the true city of David which spiritual King David, Jesus must establish on this earth for his people. So God’s people must go to Zion and then they can learn the laws which God gives for his people so that they can receive the salvation.
Then did Jesus establish Zion as King David? If we take a look at the ministry of Jesus, he was establishing Zion by keeping the festivals of God such as Sabbath (Luke 4:16), the Passover (Matthew 26:26), Tabernacles (John 7:2), etc…. When he kept these festivals of God, he was actually establishing Zion, the City of David. Then at what age should Jesus establish Zion? At the age of 30 just as King David who was anointed as king at 30. After baptism Jesus started his ministry at 30.
Jesus Ministry as King David
Luke 3:21 When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too….Now Jesus himself was about thirty years old when he began his ministry.
He started his ministry at the age of 30 to fulfill the work of David. To make it complete he must preach the gospel for 40 years just as King David ruled over his people 40 years. But Jesus fulfilled this part of prophecy incompletely to open a way for his second coming. When he came for the first time, he taught gospel only three years, not 40 years. By leaving the prophecy unfulfilled, he was preparing for his second coming to fulfill all the prophecies of the bible so that he may be known as spiritual David.
Second Coming Christ Coming as King David
Then in the last days, when he is coming back again, there are several clues given to us so that we can know who the Christ is, who is coming as King David. Then what are the works that must be fulfilled by the Second Coming of Christ? First, he must start his ministry at 30, and complete the throne of David by working for the gospel for the unfulfilled 37 years of the throne of David. And he must establish Zion, the City of David and must teach his people the festivals of God.
Christ Ahnsahnghong, King David
Then who fulfilled the prophecy of the bible? Christ Ahnsahnghong. He got baptized at the age of 30 and finished 40 year reign of David by completing 37 years of unfulfilled throne of David. On top of all these things, the most important feature of David fulfilled by Christ Ahnsahnghong is the City of David, Zion. Zion had been in ruin during the Dark Ages, when the laws of God was completely abolished by the work of Satan. Nobody could bring back the festivals of God.
This was also done to fulfill the prophecy because according to the prophecy it is only David himself (Christ) who would be able to establish Zion, the City of David by restoring the all the festivals of God as it was written in the Book of Revelation: “See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He (Christ) is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.” No one can open the bible and teach the true laws of God except for the Second Coming Christ who is coming as David. Through the fulfillment of all the prophecies, we can truly tell that Ahnsahnghong is the true Christ testified in the bible!
Paul said that people had to wait for the second coming Christ to know the truth. There is no one else who can know the truth except for the second coming Christ. Now let us find out the Christ who would appear as the Root of David.
1 Corinthians 4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men’s hearts.
Sealing of the Bible
What are the things hidden in darkness? It is the truth of the new covenant. The truth of the new covenant Jesus established with his blood was abolished the work of the Satan and one by one all the truth of the new covenant was forgotten and lost during the dark ages. Instead of the laws of God, people are following man’s teaching and tradition. And instead of worshiping God people are worshiping Satan in the last days, practicing adultery and lawlessness. In this situation there could be no salvation. Jesus already foretold that this world would be filled with lawlessness through the parable of the weeds and wheat.
If we look at the customs of the churches today, they are following all the man’s traditions instead of God’s commands. Jesus kept Sabbath, Passover, and all the festivals of God with his disciples to give them blessings of the eternal life, but all these precious truth of the new covenant was changed into Sunday worship, Christmas, Easter, and all the man’s festivals which was not originated from God or the bible. Jesus clearly warned against following man’s tradition in the book of Matthew 15, “You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you: These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men.” (Matthew 15:7)
Disappearance of the Truth of the Bible
Apostle John saw that all the peoples of the world are following Satan and obeying the commands of man, letting go the commands of God.
Revelation 13:3 …The whole world was astonished and followed the beast. Men worshiped the dragon (Satan) because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast (Anti-Christ)…
God’s people worship God by following commands of God, but in the last days, deserting the commands of God, people are worshiping the dragon and the beast by following man’s teaching and tradition. The truth of the new covenant was completely sealed up, and nobody knows the truth and obey it. The truth or the good seeds are completely covered with the falsehood or weeds. Then who is the one who will restore the truth back to the world so that people can follow the truth. It is only the Root of David who can bring the hidden truth into light in the last days.
The Root of David and Unsealing the Bible
Revelation 5:2 Then I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne a scroll with writing on both sides and sealed with seven seals. 2 And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?” 3 But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or even look inside it. 4 I wept and wept because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside. 5 Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”
The Bible is sealed with the seven seals. The number “seven” means “completion or perfection” and the seven seals means a perfect and complete seal. Then who can open this complete seal which was done by God?
There is only one who can open the seal of the scroll or the bible and reveal the truth in the last days, that is, the Root of David. Then who is the Root of David?
Who is the Root of David?
There is no one who can restore the truth of the new covenant except for the Root of David, Jesus who is coming in the last days-The Second Coming Christ. The Second Coming Christ comes as the Root of David and he is the one who can open the bible and teach the truth of the new covenant. That is why Paul said not to judge anything until the appointed time for the second coming Christ. Today there is one who brought the truth of the new covenant by opening the seven seals of the scroll: Christ Ahnsahnghong. Christ Ahnsahnghong restored the truth of the new covenant Jesus established on the night of the Passover. Then who is Christ Ahnsahnghong? He is the one who we must wait.
Christ Ahnsahnghong, the Root of David
Christ Ahnsahnghong came as the Root of David and taught us the truth of the new covenant, the true commands of God we should keep. Let us keep the Passover with a thankful mind! And also He saw us the reality of the new covenant, the Heavenly Jerusalem Our Mother. Let us give thanks to Father and Mother for coming as the Spirit and the Bride to us to give us salvation.
What is the mystery of God in the bible? It is the Christ because our salvation depends on the Christ who was to appear on this earth. The reason he is considered a mystery is because no one can recognize the Christ in the worldly point of view. The biggest mystery among all the mysteries of the bible is God Elohim who would appear in the last days to give us eternal life.
The Old Testament of the bible is recorded originally in the Hebraic language and in the Hebrew language one of the words used to refer to God is “Elohim,” which was used 2,500 times throughout the Old Testament. This referent, Elohim is the most common word used to mean God. If we just look at the Genesis 1, we can see how many times the word “Elohim” is used to mean God. Listen to this Hebrew reading of Genesis 1.
Then what is so mysterious about a name of God? It is because contrary to the public opinion Elohim is not God in the singular form, but Gods in plural form. It means when God was creating the world and everything in it, God was not working by himself, but there was another entity who was working together with God the Father. Let us confirm this through the reading of Genesis 1:26 and 27.
Why is Elohim (God) using “us” and “our” to represent God? If God is singular and Father alone, then he should say, “Let me make man in my image and in my likeness.” Why is God referring himself as “us” and “our” in the plural form? The secret is in the word Elohim. In the Hebrew word, the singular form of God is “El” or “Elo(a)h,” which means God in the singular form and the plural form of God is “Elim” or “Elohim,” which means Gods literally.
You might say, “Does it make any difference if it is singular or plural?” The answer is “It does make all the difference.” To have knowledge of God is the basic condition of salvation. Even though there are many gods and many lords in the world, the true Savior and true God is one. And that one God is call himself as “us” and “our.” In the bible nothing is meaningless, and everything has meaning. Even a singular or plural form has meaning in it. For example, let us take a look at Paul’s words:
Gal 3:16 16 The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. Scripture does not say “and to seeds,” meaning many people, but “and to your seed,” meaning one person, who is Christ.
Even though Abraham had two sons or seeds, Ishmael and Isaac, the one who received the promise of God was one son or seed, Isaac, who represents Christ. The singular and plural form is essential to understand the meaning of Abraham’s seed, who would become his heir. All these were working as prophecies to teach us God’s heir. If we don’t not care if it is singular or plural, we completely misunderstand the salvation work of God. It is the same with Elohim. To understand if God is one or two, or singular or plural is essential for the salvation. If someone firmly believes God is one (even though God is two), he would not be able to accept God when he appears as two forms, and if someone believes that God is two (even though he is one), he would have to wait meaninglessly to the end without receiving salvation.
Then is God one or two? The answer is in man who was given God’s image. Man was created to reveal the image of God, and the man was created into two images, male and female, or Adam and Eve. And the creation of man shows us the invisible image of God as male and female, Father and Mother. According to the Romans 5 Adam was created to teach us the male image of Christ or God the Father coming as man in the flesh.
Both Adam and Eve were created in the invisible image of God. Since they are the copy of the image of God, through them we can conclude that God has two images too, that is, male and female, or God the Father and God the Mother.
Romans 5:14 Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who was a pattern of the one to come.
Adam was created to teach us about the Christ, first coming and second, who represent male image of Elohim, Gods. Then who does Eve represent, who was given the female image of Elohim? She was created to show Adam’s wife or female image of Christ. In short, Adam is Christ in the male image and Eve is Christ in the female image who would come and appear in the last days: the Spirit and the Bride in the book of Revelation 22:17. The Spirit is the Christ who is coming as Adam for the second time and his bride is Elohim Mother who would appear as Adam’s bride or his wife.
Many says that the bride is the saints. But Father Ahnsahnghong clearly taught in one of his sermon explaining the Revelation 21 and 22 that the bride in the book is not plural, but singular. If the bride is saints, it should be recorded as brides in the plural form, not bride in its singular form, which means the bride is NOT saints. Just as many tried to deceive people from recognizing God the Father who came down to this earth in the flesh, and in the same way there are many who try to deceive people from know God the Mother the Last Eve who would appear in the last days to give us the water of life. To understand the deepest mystery in the bible, we must depend on the words of God in the bible, not on the teachings coming from man’s opinion.
The bible truly testifies that the Spirit and the Bride would appear to give us salvation. They are God Elohim, Father and Mother working together even from the beginning in the book of Genesis to the very end until all God’s people receive the salvation and eternal life in Heaven!!
What is the true temple of God? Jeremiah said that the true temple of God is not the Jerusalem Temple in Palestine, but God would establish the true Temple of God.
Jeremiah 3:16 In those days, when your numbers have increased greatly in the land,” declares the Lord, “people will no longer say, ‘The ark of the covenant of the Lord.’ It will never enter their minds or be remembered; it will not be missed, nor will another one be made. 17 At that time they will call JerusalemThe Throne of the Lord, and all nations will gather in Jerusalem to honor the name of the Lord.
Ark of the Covenant in the Most Holy Place of the Jerusalem Temple: The bible teaches that this temple and the ark of the covenant are a shadow for the reality that would appear. Then what is the reality of the temple and the ark of the covenant?
The ark of the covenant was called the Throne of God because God said that he would sit enthroned between the cherubim on the ark of the covenant. Inside the ark were the stone tablets of Ten Commandments and it was put in the Most Holy Place in the temple. But Jeremiah said that people would not seek the ark of the covenant anymore. What is the meaning of this? The most precious covenant of God is in the ark of the covenant: the stone tablets of the Ten Commandments and the ark of the covenant was the core of the faith of God’s people in those days.
But this prophecy says that the ark of the covenant would be lost in the future and even though it was lost, people would not seek it or make another one. Then why is it so? It is because at that time the true reality of the ark of the covenant will be revealed to the people, not the earthly ark of the covenant, but the spiritual heavenly ark of the covenant. Then what is the spiritual ark of the covenant in the last days? To understand this Christ Ahsahnghong said that we should know the relationship between the ark of the covenant and the temple.
The Ark and the Most Holy Place
Since the covenant of God was given to the Israelites, it was necessary for them to prepare a place to put the covenant of God. For that purpose they built temple according to the pattern of the heavenly temple shown to Moses. When the temple was established, they put the ark of the covenant in the Most Holy Place of the temple. When Israelites finished all the commands of God concerning to the temple, God started to dwell in the temple by filling the temple with his Spirit.
Exodus 40:33 33 Then Moses set up the courtyard around the tabernacle and altar and put up the curtain at the entrance to the courtyard. And so Moses finished the work. 34 Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. 35 Moses could not enter the tent of meeting because the cloud had settled on it, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.
But Jeremiah says that this is not reality. The ark of the covenant is not reality and since there is no ark of the covenant, there is no need of the temple, either. If there is no covenant of God, it is not necessary for people to prepare a place for one. So when Jeremiah prophesied about the abolishment of the covenant of God, the physical temple of God was also abolished. Instead, the prophecy says that he will establish the true reality of the ark of the covenant and the temple. Then what is the reality of the ark of the covenant and the temple? Since Moses built the earthly temple according to the pattern of the heavenly one, the reality of the covenant and the temple must have been heaven in those days.
The Layout of the Solomon Temple: The temple was composed of two rooms: the inner room and outer room which were called the most holy place and holy place, respectively.
Earthly Temple and Heavenly Temple
Hebrews 8:5 They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: “See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.”
The earthly sanctuary or the temple was just a copy of the heavenly temple given to us to teach us the reality of the temple which is in heaven. 2000 years ago, Jesus came down to us and revealed to us the reality of the temple.
John 2:19 19 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.” 20 They replied, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?” 21 But the temple he had spoken of was his body.
The true reality of the temple was the body of the Christ. After baptism, God put the Holy Spirit in the body of Christ. Since the temple of God is the place where the Spirit of God dwells, at that time the Spirit of God was dwelling in the body of Christ, so the body of Christ could become the temple of God.
The temple of God is the place where the Spirit of God dwells. In the time of baptism, Jesus Christ received the Holy Spirit and the Spirit of God dwelt in Jesus’ body. In this respect, the body of Christ became the dwelling or the temple of God. That is why we can say that the body of Christ was the reality of the temple.
But this is not the end of the reality of the temple. When Moses built the temple, he did according to the pattern of the heavenly one. Through the earthly sanctuary God wanted to teach us the reality of the sanctuary, that is, Christ. Just as the earthly temple has two parts, the Holy Place (outer room) and the Most Holy Place (inner room), the heavenly sanctuary must have two parts too. As we have seen Jesus Christ represent the sanctuary of God, which part does he symbolize? Apostle Paul says Jesus Christ symbolizes the outer room, the Holy Place.
The Meaning of the Destruction of the Body of Christ
Hebrews 10:19 Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body.
According to the bible, the inner room and the outer room was separated by a curtain and nobody could go behind the curtain. Only once a year on the Day of Atonement the high priest could enter the Most Holy Place through the blood of animals. But Jesus came as true reality of the animal sacrifice and sacrificed his own body shedding his own blood. And Paul explains the true meaning of Christ’s shedding his blood: Christ’s body was destroyed and torn apart to tear away the curtain separating the two rooms of the temple and open the way to the Most Holy Place where the throne of God or the ark of the covenant was placed. (Mt 27:51)It means Christ’s body was the reality of the Holy Place including t he curtain. While the curtain was standing, people could not enter the Most Holy Place to meet God and receive blessing from God. By destroying his body of temple, however, he could open the way to the Most Holy Place.
What is the meaning of the crucifixion of Christ? By destroying his body of the temple, actually Christ was opening the way to the Most Holy Place to the Throne of God so that people could meet God for the forgiveness of sins. (Mt 27:51, Heb 8:8, Heb 10:19)
This means through the sacrifice of the Christ, he wanted to lead us to the reality of the Most Holy Place where the true ark of the covenant is. Then what is the reality of the Most Holy Place? Just as the reality of the Holy Place of the temple came down to this earth 2000 years ago, according to the prophecies of the bible the reality of the Most Holy Place will come down to this earth: the reality of the ark of the covenant and the true reality of the Throne of God where God dwells by putting his Spirit in it.
The Reality of the Most Holy Place
1King 6:19 He prepared the inner sanctuary within the temple to set the ark of the covenant of the Lord there. 20 The inner sanctuary was twenty cubits long, twenty wide and twenty high. He overlaid the inside with pure gold, and he also overlaid the altar of cedar.
The most important feature of the Most Holy Place is that it has the same length, width, and height, that is, a cube. But this earthly inner room of the temple was given to us to teach us the reality of the Most Holy Place which Jesus would reveal to us through the sacrifice of his body of the Holy Place. In the last days, the reality of the Most Holy Place, the Throne of God is coming down from heaven. Apostle John describes the Heavenly Jerusalem coming down from heaven:
Revelation 21:15 15 The angel who talked with me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city, its gates and its walls. 16 The city was laid out like a square, as long as it was wide. He measured the city with the rod and found it to be 12,000 stadia in length, and as wide and high as it is long.
What is the heavenly Jerusalem temple that is coming down from heaven in the last day? The bible describes it as shaped like a cube. This description of the temple exactly matches with the Most Holy Place of the temple. Then what is the reality of the Most Holy Place of the tempel?
What is this? The CUBE or the Most Holy Place. Then when it comes down from heaven, how would the Heavenly Jerusalem be revealed to us? Think about Jesus who was the reality of the Holy Place. How did he appeared to us? By coming as man with a physical body and By putting the Spirit of God in his body, his body could become the temple of God. Then how would this reality of the Most Holy Place of the heavenly temple appear to us? First, who is this Heavenly Jerusalem?
Revelation 21:2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.
The heavenly Jerusalem is coming down from as bride of the Lamb. The Lamb is God the Father coming down from heaven as man. Then who is this heavenly Jerusalem, the bride of the Lamb?
Galatians 4:26 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our Mother.
Heavenly Jerusalem is our Mother and she is the reality of the Most Holy Place. Just as our Father in heaven came down from heaven as man by putting the Holy Spirit in his body of temple, it means our Mother in heaven will come down from heaven as woman with body of the temple and she will put the Spirit of God in her body. Therefore, in the last days, our Father and Mother will appear as man in the flesh as man and woman or the last Adam and Eve to give us eternal life. 2000 years the reality of the Holy Place of the temple appeared, but people rejected him because they saw the appearance of Christ and despised him, rather than looking at the prophecies of the bible.
What is the reality of the temple of God? What is the water of life we can receive from the temple?
Conclusion
God would test us again on our faith in God and the words of God in the bible by coming down to this earth as man in the flesh. They would appear as man and woman, which would be harder for the people to accept. But what does the prophecy of the bible say? They would come down from heaven and they would give the eternal life. What we should do is to believe in the words of God in the bible and accept the Jerusalem our Mother as the source of salvation: the true Throne of God and True reality of the Most Holy Place where the Spirit of God dwells. Let us serve the ark of the covenant by accepting Mother and following her to the end.
Thanks to heavenly Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and heavenly Mother for teaching us all these truth. Help our weak faith now and strengthen us with your Spirit so that we can stand firm without swaying to the right or left. And please forgive our sins and transgresions.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
Elohim “The word Elohim is the plural of El (or possibly Eloah) and is the first name of God given in the Old Testament: “In the beginning, God (Elohim) created the heavens and the earth, (Gen. 1:1).
From Theopedia
This is the definition of Elohim. Originally the Old Testament was written in the Hebrew language. In the Hebraic language, El or Eloah means God in singular form and Elohim means Gods in plural form. This is very important in understanding the bible. All throughout the Old Testament, God is referred to as Elohim (Gods), not as El or Eloah (God). This word Elohim is used about 2500 times to represent God. Even from the creation of the world to the end, God is not used in the singular form, but in the plural form. It means even from the beginning Gods are working together.
How could it be possible? We used to believe there is only one God, then why does God represent himself as Elohim (Gods), not El (God)? Many got confused and gave many different explanations which are not true or based on the understanding in the bible. People made their own personal or communal interpretation for their own congregation. Now let us get rid of our own thought and read the bible through the bible and understand the reason why God is represented as Elohim (Gods) in the bible.
Even though God is invisible and spiritual, God made his divinity known to man who can perceive only the physical things. Since man cannot see the invisible world, God let man know the invisible world through the visible world which they can understand. Therefore, the bible says this physical world is a copy and shadow created to teach us the spiritual world which is the original and reality. Especially in this physical world, God created one thing to teach us the images of Gods (Elohim). By looking at one creation on this earth, we can understand more about Elohim.
Genesis 1:26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”
God is creating man and in the original Hebrew language the word Elohim (Gods) is used instead of God. That is why Gods used “us” and “our” the plural form to represent them, rather than “me” or “my” the singular form. God didn’t say, “Let me make man in my image” because Gods are working together to create man. Then how many Gods are working together? Who are they? God is in heaven in the spiritual and invisible world which we as physical being cannot perceive. But just as God revealed his own divinity through the creation on this physical world so that men are without excuse. Then what was created as copy and shadow of God so that we can know the image or images of Gods. He said, “let us make man in our image and in our likeness.”
Man was given the copied images of God and by looking at the creation of man we can know the images of Gods too. Then how many images were given to man?
Genesis 1:27 So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them;male andfemale he created them.
Man was created in the image of God as male and female. Through this we can know God also exists as male and female. Male image of God is called Father. Then what should call this female image of God who created Eve according to her image?
They say that this is the ideal image of man and woman and they were created in a science lab. Anyway God created man as male and female to reveal God’s own image. This is the image of man which was created according to the image of God. Then how many images of God can you guess by looking at these images of man? Just as there is a male image of man, there should be a male image of God, whom we call God the Father. In the same way, through the female after the creation of man, we can conclude that there is a female image of God. Then what should we call her? God the Mother.
God is always working together even from the creation to the end. The same Elohim (Gods) who created man in the book of Genesis are coming together in the last days to complete the creation and give eternal life.
Revelation 22:17 17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.
The Spirit, God the Father and his bride, God the Mother would come together to give the water of life or eternal life. God Elohim, Father Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother Jerusalem came down to this earth to give us eternal life. The bible says the mystery of God, Christ will be revealed at the last days. The mystery hidden since the creation of the world is Christ, Elohim coming as male and female in the flesh. Let us receive eternal life by accepting Father Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother. Give glory to God Elohim.
When Jesus came down to this earth 2000 years ago, he was not welcomed by his people even though he was the God they had believed since the time of Abraham.
John 1:10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.
Ecce Homo! Look at this man. Who is he to you? Is he a man or God? Is Christ Ahnsahnghong a man or God?
It was mainly because people just looked at the physical appearance of Jesus Christ: his family background, his education, his social status, his birth place, his appearance. When they considered these physical aspects of Jesus, he was a son of carpenter unschooled and unauthoritative. Everything they saw about Jesus made them fall away from him. They could see only “a mere man who claimed to be God.” They could not see the Almightiness of God: his power and glory in Jesus Christ. Jesus was completely different from their expectation of God. Therefore, they mocked him and ridiculed him, saying, “Prophesy! Who hit you?” after blindfolding him.
Jesus was so much distressed about Jerusalem for its unbelief and disobedience, and he wept over it, saying, “If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace–but now it is hidden from your eyes.” Their savior was standing in front of them and teaching them that he was God that “I and Father are one.” The blind could open their eyes, but those who claimed that they could see was condemned because they were spiritually blind and yet they refused to be healed.
John 9:39 Jesus said, “For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind will see and those who see will become blind.” 40Some Pharisees who were with him heard him say this and asked, “What? Are we blind too?” 41Jesus said, “If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin; but now that you claim you can see, your guilt remains.
The same Christ who came as humble man is prophesied to come back again as man in the same way. The bible says that “he will appear for the second time for salvation to those who are waiting for him.” Just as he appeared as man in the flesh for the first time, he will appear as man for the second time.
1John 3:8 The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work.
How did the Son of God or Jesus appear for the first time? Then how will he appear for the second time? When he appears as man in the flesh for the second time, are we better prepared than Jews in the time of Jesus? Can we recognize him and accept him or are we going to make the same mistakes by rejecting him and losing our chance of salvation? He already prophesied that he would be rejected by people when he comes back for the second time.
Luke 17:25 But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
Why will the Second Coming Christ be rejected by people of the contemporary generation when he comes back in the last days? It would be because of the same reasons for which people rejected him when he came for the first time. People will judge the Christ according to the worldly point of view or human standards such as his education, family, birth place, occupation, etc.. And people will reject him because he does not match with their own expectation.
Imagine that Christ is standing in front of you as passerby on the street, in subway, or at a bus stop. Will you be able to recognize him as your savior? Would you be able to say, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God” like Peter. How would you know him? The same Peter let us know how he could know the Christ. Even though others deserted Jesus, he could remain in Christ with faith in him. He said:
John 6:68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? you have the words of eternal life. We believe and know that you are the Holy One of God.”
Through the words of God he could see the true identity of Jesus hidden behind the flesh and blood. Through the fulfillment of the words of God he could recognize the Christ. To fulfill the prophecies of the bible, the Spirit and the Bride, our Father and Mother came down to this earth to give us the words of eternal life. They are calling, “Come to me and I will heal you so that you can see and hear.” Now what do you think of yourself? Do you think you are blind or you can see? If you admit you are blind, Father and Mother will heal you so that you can see and believe. But if you insist that you can see, you might have to find your own salvation, which would be impossible.
Jeremiah 2:13 “My people committed two sins: They have forsaken me, the spring of living water and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water.”
God teaches us to seek God and he will answer you. Seek the Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother Jerusalem and then they will heal you with living water and lead you to the eternal heaven where we should go back. if God is standing in front of you, will you be able to recognize the man as God who might be at odds with your expectation in every way? Can you say like Peter, “I know who you are by the words you give us” by believing in the words of God in the bible?
