Truth of the new covenant

[WMSCOG] GOD’S PROMISE IN THE NEW COVENANT

What is the meaning of the new covenant? The new covenant Jesus established has profound meaning of “the forgiveness of sins” in it and let us take a look at some of the promises of God in the new covenant.

Jeremiah 31:31-34

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

God gave the old covenant to his people in the time of Moses, but they disobeyed and could not receive salvation. That is why God said He himself would make another covenant or a new covenant to give complete salvation. What are the promises given to this new covenant? First, through the new covenant people can be considered as God’s people. Only those who are under the new covenant can be considered as God’s people. Second, through the new covenant, people can have the knowledge of God. In other words those who do not keep the new covenant cannot have any knowledge of God. Third, through the new covenant the sins of people can be forgiven and they can be set free from sin and death and receive the complete salvation which could not be granted through the old covenant.

Then who fulfilled this prophecy?

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.” 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.”

2000 years ago, in the upper room of Mark Jesus and his disciples kept the Passover with bread and wine. On that night, Jesus gave the bread and wine which represent his flesh and blood. Concerning the Passover, Jesus said, “this is the new covenant,” which was written in the book of Jeremiah. In Jeremiah God said that he himself would make a new covenant and the promise was fulfilled by Jesus (God) by establishing the new covenant through the Passover. Then why did Jesus establish the new covenant? To fulfill all the promises of God given in the time of Jeremiah. Through the new covenant of the Passover, Jesus fulfilled the promise of the forgiveness of sins. (Mt 26:28) Also through the new covenant of the Passover, God fulfilled the promise of the children of God. Those who keep the new covenant receives flesh and blood of God and through the flesh and blood of God they can become the children of God. (John 6:56) And through the new covenant we can have spiritual wisdom and knowledge to know who God is. (Eph 1:7-8)

All the God’s promises were fulfilled through the new covenant of the Passover. Even though the Passover was once abolished by the work of Satan, Christ Ahnsahnghong restored the truth of the new covenant through his flesh and blood. And He let us know the true reality of the new covenant, Our Mother Heavenly Jerusalem. Let us give thanks to God Ahnsahnghong and Heaven Mother New Jerusalem for giving us all the promises of God through the new covenant Passover.

[WMSCOG] WHO ARE THE LIVING?

The bible says that those who will go to the kingdom of heaven are called the living. Then who are the living? Everyone on this earth will feel offended if they are called the dead because people always tend to think that they are alive and living. But in the eyes of God it is a little bit different.

Matthew 22:32 I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not the God of the dead but of the living.

In the eyes of God, they are considered as living? In other words, they are the ones who received the promise of eternal life from God. Then why?

These are the words of Christ given to teach about one characteristic of God’s people. The most important trait of the people of God is that they should be living. Literally, it does not make sense because everyone on this earth is living and Christ gave this teaching to the people who were living on this earth. In the time of Moses, numerous people were LIVING on this earth, but only the Jews were chosen as God’s people, the living. In the time of Jesus too, even though people were LIVING like sands on the sea, only few were chosen as his people, the living. Therefore, we must understand the meaning of “living” in the perspective of God. Then who are living in the eyes of God? The one who has life is the living. But in this case it cannot mean the physical life because people were chosen as God’s people not simply because they have breath of life in their nostrils. We can confirm this through the teaching of Jesus too.

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

How can the dead bury a dead person? They cannot rise from their tombs and bury the dead one and go back to their own tomb. For this reason we must understand the meaning of dead differently. In that story the father of the disciple was dead in the literal sense, but the dead who would bury him was not dead in the physical sense. In another version of Bible it is translated like this: “Let the spiritually dead bury their own dead.” (NLT) So the dead mean people who are spiritually dead even though they are physically alive. Therefore, God’s people are those who are living spiritually. Not just because he lives a physical life on this earth, he is not considered “living” in the eyes of God; rather, he is considered as “dead” by God. Then who are the “spiritually living”?

John 6:53 Jesus said to them, “I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.”

What do you call a person who “has no life in him”? A dead person, right. Through this Jesus says that a person who did not eat his flesh and drink his blood is spiritually dead, even though he might be physically living. And He continues to say:

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

Then who are the living who can be considered as God’s people who will be raised into eternal life at the last day? They are the ones who ate Christ’s flesh and blood. Through these words Christ teaches us who are the true living and who are the dead. To be living in the eyes of God, the person must eat Christ’s flesh and blood through the Passover. (Mt 26:26) Christ said that the bread of the Passover is his flesh and the wine of the Passover his blood. Therefore, through the Passover bread and wine we can take part in the Christ’s flesh and blood, and we can be considered as “living” in the eyes of God. And those who did not keep the Passover are called “spiritually dead.”

Even though all the people of the world were in the land of death without the promise of eternal life, the Second Coming Christ, Christ Ahnsahnghong brought us the new covenant of the Passover and gave us the chance to belong to the LIVING by eating his flesh and blood through the Passover. Seek God Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother Jerusalem and Keep the Passover, then you will be considered as living by God. Thanks to Father and Mother for allowing us to participate in the Passover and giving us eternal life in heaven! God is truly the God of the LIVING!

[WMSCOG] The Way to Know God, Keeping Festivals of God

Hosea 6:3 Let us acknowledge the Lord, let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that waters the earth.

Hosea says that we must have the knowledge of God and we must make every effort to have knowledge of God. When we know the time of God’s coming or his appearance, we can meet him and receive blessings from him, even the eternal life. Luckily, God comes at his appointed time just as the rise of the sun, or the coming of the spring and winter rain which comes at its appointed time. The bible teaches God is coming at his appointed time. Jesus’ coming was also a part of God’s appointed time, which was done according to the plan of God.

Therefore, we must have knowledge of God’s appointed time so that we can meet God and receive salvation. Then what are God’s appointed time? God gave his appointed times according to days and seasons. Let us see when God’s appointed times are and have knowledge of God.

First, there is a weekly appointed time of God we must keep every week, which is called Sabbath.

Leviticus 23:1 The Lord said to Moses, 2 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘These are my appointed festivals, the appointed festivals of the Lord, which you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies. “‘There are six days when you may work, but the seventh day is a day of sabbath rest, a day of sacred assembly. You are not to do any work; wherever you live, it is a sabbath to the Lord.

The appointed day of Sabbath is Saturday, not Sunday according to the present calendar. This is the day God gave us so that we can be blessed by God.

Exodus 31:12 Then the Lord said to Moses, 13 “Say to the Israelites, ‘You must observe my Sabbaths. This will be a sign between me and you for the generations to come, so you may know that I am the Lord, who makes you holy.

Through the Sabbath, we can have knowledge on God and be made holy by receiving blessings from God. Without keeping the Sabbath, we cannot have knowledge of God or receive blessings from God. And also there are seven annual festivals of God grouped into 3 times, which are called seven feasts of three times.

Leviticus 23:4 “‘These are the Lord’s appointed festivals, the sacred assemblies you are to proclaim at their appointed times: 5 The Lord’s Passover begins at twilight on the fourteenth day of the first month. 6 On the fifteenth day of that month the Lord’s Festival of Unleavened Bread begins; for seven days you must eat bread made without yeast. 7 On the first day hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work. 8 For seven days present a food offering to the Lord. And on the seventh day hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work.’”

The very first annual festival of God is the Passover; with the Passover the yearly festivals of God begins, which includes the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Firstfruits or the Day of Resurrection, the Feast of Weeks or the Day of Pentecost, the Feast of Trumpets, the Day of Atonement, and finally the last festival of God the Feast of Tabernacles through which the yearly festivals of God end.

Did you know that there is a festival of God kept by blowing the trumpets? Do you then that we must also keep this festival according to the new covenant?

God gave us all these festivals through the Law of Moses and made complete through the Law of Christ. Even though we don’t have to keep these festivals by the sacrifice of animals according to the old covenant, but still we must keep these festivals according to the regulations of the new covenant which was established by the sacrifice of Father and Mother.

By keeping the festivals of God we can receive the blessings of God promised through those festivals. Even though once the festivals of God was abolished by the work of devil during the dark age, and Satan changed all the festivals of God to the manmade festivals such as Christmas, Halloween, Easter, Thanksgiving, etc… But according to the prophecies of the bible it was restored by the second coming Christ Ahnsahnghong. Through the grace of God Elohim, Our Father Ahnsahnghong and Our Mother New Jerusalem, the appointed times of God are allowed again to God’s people so that they can meet God and receive abundant blessings from God. Let us keep the festival of God at its appointed time at God’s appointed place Zion.

Isaiah 33:20 Look on Zion, the city of our festivals;
your eyes will see Jerusalem,
a peaceful abode, a tent that will not be moved;
its stakes will never be pulled up,
nor any of its ropes broken.
21
There the Lord will be our Mighty One.
It will be like a place of broad rivers and streams.
No galley with oars will ride them,
no mighty ship will sail them.
22
For the Lord is our judge,
the Lord is our lawgiver,
the Lord is our king;
it is he who will save us.

Let us give praise to God Ahnsahnghong for restoring us the festivals of God and keeps the festivals of God with thankful mind!!

[WMSCOG] SEEK THE LORD WHILE HE MAY BE FOUND

Everything done on this earth is done according to the time pertaining to a certain activity. About this the bible says:

Ecclesiastes 3:1 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot,…

Every activity has its time to be done. It is spiritaully the same because God’s work for our salvation is done also according to the plan of God with specific time and a specific activity done at the time. God is taking care of everything in the whole universe, but still he spare his precious time and effort for the people who live in this earth which is considered as only dust on a scale or a drop of water in a bucket. This human society is small and can be deemed as nothing compared to the whole universe. But God considers this place as something important and he laid out a plan for the creation and end of this earth. Then why? It is because he wants everyone on this earth to have knowledge of God and receive salvation from him. But because of the lack of knowledge people fall away from God and cannot receive salvation.

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

Therefore, as people of God we must have the knowledge of God and also knowledge about his laws and regulation. Then why did God give his laws and regulations?

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

God gave us his laws and regulations so that we may have the knowledge of salvation. Without having the knowledge we cannot know God, nor can we receive the salvation from God. Today, out of ignorance many Christians say that we are to receive salvation no through the laws, but through faith. It is partly true. But in the first place, how can we have faith in God? Can anyone have faith on something he does not know? Think about aliens coming from a distant galaxy or planet. Many people might believe that there is “something out there.” But it does not mean he firmly believe about what he thinks or simply it does not mean he has faith in it. He does not deny the existence of aliens, but neither does he make any definite argument about the existence.

Today, people’s faith in God is the same. They do not deny the existence of God, nor are they sure of his existence. It means he does not have true faith in God. Why is it so? It is because people do not have knoweldge about God. When you know the capital city of France is Paris, you can firmly say that with faith. But what about a country of whose capital you do not have any knowledge? Say, Nepal. You definitely know there is a capital of the country, but still you cannot tell the city. People believe that there is God, but when they were asked about who God is, they cannot answer and say, “Just believe that there is God and Jesus is the Savior.” It is almost like saying, “We don’t have any proof, but just believe that there is aliens.” Who will trust what they say? I don’t think in this case even those who say that might not believe what they are saying.

Therefore, we must have knowledge of God first and then we can have faith in God. Then what is the knowledge we should have about God? His laws and regulations because these are given to us to teach us God and his salvation. And the bible teaches we can meet God and receive salvation from him through the feasts of God, one of the most important regulations of God. To meet a movie star, you must be aware of his schedule and find out the time he opens his time for his fan through various events such as signature event. It is the same with God. God prepared appointed times for his people so that they can meet God and receive blessings from him.

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.

Isaiah 55:6 Seek the Lord whil he may be found; call on him while he is near.

There is time when God opens his schedule and give attention to the people on this earth so that he may grant what they are asking. I might sound strange, but it is true. You can pray to God anytime you want and that is true. But there is certain appointed times God allowed completely for his people and these times can be called the time of God’s favor. Through these appointed times he show his mercy and compassion. These are the most precious times of God and his people. Therefore, we must know these times dedicated completely for God’s people.

Jeremiah 8:7 Even the stork in the sky knows her appointed seasons, and the dove, the swift and the thrush observe the time of their migration. But my people do not know the requirement of the Lord.

Alas!! Even the senseless animals know the times of the season and live according to the times. But God’s people do not know the appointed times of God and does not do what is required at those times. If they know the requirements of God and follow them, they would receive blessings; but they do not know. God is giving lamentation about his people’s ignorance about God. 2000 years ago God came down to this earth in the name of Jesus, but people rejected him out of ignorance. Jesus wept for their ignorance and coming destruction caused by their lack of knowledge on God.

Luke 19:41 41 As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it 42 and said, “If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes. 43 The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side. 44 They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of God’s coming to you.”

Jesus was their long waited Savior who could give them salvation. But they rejected him and the salvation coming from him. It was because they were senseless like animals and they did not have any knowledge of God. Animals could be considered more sensible compared to them because at least they know the seasons and appointed times. It is the same now. According to the prophecies of the bible, at God’s appointed time Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother Jerusalem came down to this earth to give us salvation. We should have knowledge on the Spirit and the Bride to have true faith in them. Now stop saying to just believe in God; now rather know the reason why we should believe in God and who are the Savior in our time. Foolishly we might not recognize the time of God’s coming and lose the chance of salvation.

The Eternal Home We Must Go Back

100 years of life

At the age of 60, I am sent to come backTell him I am still young and I cannot come.
At the age of 70, I am sent to come back, Tell him I still have many things to do and I cannot come. At the age of 80 I am sent to come back Tell him I am still durable and I cannot come.
At the age of 90 I am sent to come back Tell him I will come when I am ready and don’t urge me to do so.
At the age of 100 I am sent to come back, Tell him I will come when the time and day is favorable.

At the age of 80, I am sent to come back,Tell him that I am upset and I cannot come.
At the age of 90, I am sent to come back,Tell him why I am sent again and I will come when I am ready.
At the age of 100, I am sent to come back, Tell him I am looking for a day to go to paradise.
At the age of 150, I am sent to come back, Tell him I am already in paradise.

This is the lyric of one famous K-Pop. In this song, she keep saying to the messenger sent by God to bring her soul back to heaven to tell God that she is not ready yet and at the end she refuse to come to God, but wants to live forever comforting herself that this world is paradise. There is a Korean say given to teach us the importance of life: A living dog is better than a dead prime minister. Life is so precious to us. That is why in this song even though her life on this earth is not favorable with many difficulties and hardships, but she comforts herself saying I am already in paradise. Isn’t living better than death even though it is full of sorrow and tears? This song is the wish everybody has on this earth and nobody wants to die since they think death is the end and there is nothing after. But the bible teaches differently.

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

Even though our body (dust) which was taken out of the dust of ground goes back to the dust of the ground, but the bible says our spirit still exists and goes back to God who is in heaven. I means when we leave the physical body behind on this earth, we will go back to eternal heaven where our Creator is. That is why King Solomon says that we must remember the spiritual world we will go back.

Ecclesiastes 12:5 Then man goes to his eternal home and mourners go about the streets. Remember him–before the silver cord is severed, or the golden bowl is broken.

Before we die, we must remember God and Heaven, and we must prepare to enter the spiritual home which is eternal and everybody lives forever. Then how can we prepare to go back to heaven? Solomon continues to say, “Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.” God gave us his commandments to lead us back to the eternal home. To go back to the place, we must remember where we came from and how we can go back there again. All the story is recorded in the bible to let us know our origin and the meaning of our life on this earth and the spiritual world we will face after our life.

Hebrews 11:15 If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return. Instead, they were longing for a better country–a heavenly one.

Only those who remember the place they came from and make efforts to get there will have chance to go back to our spiritual home. It is the home of our soul that we must go back after we take off our physical body. Let us remember our origin and make effort to find the way back home. And let us eagerly wait for the day when we will go back to the place where there is no pain, sorrow, tears, and nor is there death anymore. When we realize our true home, then we will scorn this miserable life on this earth and eagerly start our journey to the spiritual home. Then we will be able to say boldly like Paul.

Philippians 1:23 I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.

He eagerly wanted to put aside this earthly tent of body to receive the eternal body in heaven. We will also go back to that eternal world. God teaches us to remember the spiritual home and follow his commands to get there. To teach us the way to the kingdom of heaven, the second coming Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother, our spiritual Father and Mother came down to this earth. If we had known the way back, they would not have come. But since we don’t know and sing along “Tell him I will not come,” out of ignorance, God came down to us and teaches us that there is far better world waiting for us and tell us to go there together. We should look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. (2Pe 3:12)

Sabbath, The Day Of Rest

Cano, Alonso; The First Labours of Adam and Eve; Glasgow Museums; http://www.artuk.org/artworks/the-first-labours-of-adam-and-eve-83489

Adam was cursed by God because of his disobedience to the words of God and he was destined to eat out of the cursed ground which produces thorns and thistles through painful toil all the days of his life. The story of Adam was given to us to teach us our life on this earth. Just as King Solomon said in the book of Ecclesiastes our life is spent chasing after the wind to try to gain meaningless things. About the life of man on this earth, a writer of Psalms said:

Psalms 90:3 You turn people back to dust,
saying, “Return to dust, you mortals.”
4 A thousand years in your sight
are like a day that has just gone by,
or like a watch in the night.
5 Yet you sweep people away in the sleep of death—
they are like the new grass of the morning:
6 In the morning it springs up new,
but by evening it is dry and withered.
7 We are consumed by your anger
and terrified by your indignation.
8 You have set our iniquities before you,
our secret sins in the light of your presence.
9 All our days pass away under your wrath;
we finish our years with a moan.
10 Our days may come to seventy years,
or eighty, if our strength endures;
yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow,
for they quickly pass, and we fly away.

Just as he said, our life is consumed in the anger of God and fly away among troubles and pains because of the sins we committed. In this restless life, God gave us the Sabbath, the day of rest so that we can be comforted for the hope of rest we will receive in heaven. After this short life of pain and sorrow is over, God has prepared eternal rest in heaven and Paul said that we must “make every effort to enter the rest” that remains for God’s people. Only those who obey the commands of God can enter the rest. Therefore, the 4th Commandment, “Remember the Sabbath by keeping it holy,” is one of the most important commandments. God gave us the Sabbath as sign between God and us so that we can be recognized as God’s people who will enter the rest.

Then what day is the Sabbath? God commanded us to keep the Sabbath day holy. Therefore, without knowing the Sabbath day, how can we keep it holy? Today, most Christians take rest on Sunday. It was a custom originated from the Catholic Church, but even the Catholic admit that the Sunday worship was not originated from the bible, the true commands of God.

“But you may read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and you will not find a single line authorizing the sanctification of Sunday. The Scriptures enforce the religious observance of Saturday, a day which we never sanctify.”
James Cardinal Gibbons, The Faith of our Fathers, 88th ed., pp. 89.

The true Sabbath day in the bible is not Sunday the first day of the week, but the Saturday the seventh day of the week because God created everything from the first day to the sixth day and took a rest on the seventh day. The same priest of the Roman Catholic confirms the legitimacy of Saturday as the day of rest in his letter.

“Is Saturday the seventh day according to the Bible and the Ten Commandments? I answer yes. Is Sunday the first day of the week and did the Church change the seventh day -Saturday – for Sunday, the first day? I answer yes . Did Christ change the day’? I answer no!
“Faithfully yours, J. Card. Gibbons”

He says that the Church that is Catholic Church changed the day of rest. Then does the Catholic Church have authority to change the command of God? He admits that this regulation was not instituted by Christ, but by the Church. But the bible does not allow anyone or any church to change the words of God in the bible.

Revelation 22:18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll. 19 And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll.

God clearly commanded to everyone who reads the bible not to add or subtract anything to or from the words of God. But when Catholic changed the worship day from Saturday to Sunday, they were adding and subtracting, disobeying the words of God. They added Sunday and they took away the Saturday. The bible says those who changed the words of God will be cursed forever.

Gal 1:6 6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— 7 which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse! 9 As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God’s curse!

A part of the true gospel preached by the Christ and Paul was the Sabbath and he clearly says those who change (pervert) the gospel of Christ will be condemned forever. To those who obey the Sabbath day is the day of rest which was given to them for the sign of eternal rest in heaven, but to those who do not obey the Sabbath day was given as curse to judge them of their disobedience and destruction.

When nobody is doing the will of God, God came down again in the name of Christ Ahnsahnghong and he restored all the truth of the new covenant including the Sabbath. In this life of pain and sorrow which swiftly passes away, God restored the Sabbath Day to give us rest and hope for salvation. According to the commands of God the members of World Mission Society the Church of God keeps the Sabbath day holy on Saturday. And we are inviting all the peoples of the world to receive the gospel of the new covenant of the Passover as the sign of salvation. Give glory to God the Father and Mother!

[WMSCOG] God And Eternal Life

Why was it necessary for God to come down to this earth in the form of human being? He could have simply stayed in heaven, worshiped and honored by all the heavenly beings, rather than being mocked and ridiculed on this earth without visible glory and might and power. But even though he knew he would suffer many things, he came down to this earth in the name of Christ Jesus 2000 years ago.

John 3: 16 16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

The reason God came down to this earth was to give us eternal life. God has pity and compassion on the people of the earth who are living under the slavery of death. He wanted to give us eternal life. Then why did he come down to this earth in the human form? As the bible says, God is the only one who has eternal life.

1 Timothy 6:15 which God will bring about in his own time—God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, 16 who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. To him be honor and might forever. Amen.

To receive eternal life we must meet God, but nobody can go up to heaven alive to meet God and receive eternal life. Since we cannot do anything to have eternal life with our own method, it was necessary for God to come down to this earth among human beings as one of them to give them eternal life. Then couldn’t he come down in his full glory and power, rather than coming as man in the flesh? He could and he did in the time of Moses. He appeared with the glory of God among his chosen people, but this time his people shunned him and refused to get near him because they were afraid. That is why God set up Moses as a mediator to teach his people of the way of eternal life and gave them the old covenant. But people did not obey the covenant because they just saw Moses, a mere man like one of them and rebelled against him without thinking he was working for the Almighty God. Because of the disobedience many died in the desert and could not enter into the rest prepared for them in the land of Canaan.

That is why God decided to come down to this earth as man in the flesh just like one of them so that he could live among his people and teach them the way of eternal life. This time he wanted to teach his people not through a mediator, but he himself wanted to teach them. So instead of sending a man as mediator, he himself came as mediator in human form and gave his people the new covenant so that they can receive eternal life.

Hebrews 9:15 For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance—now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant.

What is happening in this picture? This scene is called “The Last Supper,” but did you know that it was recorded as the Passover?

He came as mediator of the new covenant and gave us the forgiveness of sins and eternal life. That is why it was necessary for him to come down as man in the flesh. Christ is the true power and glory of God, who God prepared for the perfect salvation for all human beings so that they all can receive eternal life. Even though Christ is the last and ultimate fruition God planned for the salvation, when he appeared as man, people rejected him calling him a man, not God and they lost their chance for salvation.

According to the bible he will appear for the second time as man in the flesh. At that time only those who accept him can have eternal life. If it was possible for us to receive eternal life by our own plan, it would not have been necessary for God to come as man. Without his coming as man, nobody could be saved and that is why he comes as man. Now let us know him. Truly let us press on to know him so that we would not miss him when he appears.

Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heaven Mother Jerusalem came as man in the flesh for the salvation of the soul, eternal life. They are the last plan of God he prepared for us. Let us accept them and acknowledge them, and then they will give us eternal life in heaven.

Revelation 22:17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.

Thanks to Father and Mother for coming down to this sinful world to the ignorant and stiff-necked people to give us forgiveness and eternal life. Let all the peoples of the world accept you and give glory to you, saying “Hosanna, the Savior has come again!”

[WMSCOG] Spiritual World Hidden In Physical World

Many people says that the spiritual things supposed to be invisible, so it is natural for us not to know the spiritual world. If someone says that he knows the spiritual world, he is wrong. Is it true? Are we not allowed to know the spiritual world?

Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.

The bible teaches us that we cannot make excuses for not knowing the spiritual and invisible world because God gave us a way to know and see the spiritual things. The spiritual world can be known through the physical world. In other words, the physical world on this earth was given to us as copy and shadow to know the spiritual world which is reality and original. The reality or original can be seen and understood through the copied things on this earth.

Heb 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.”

According to the bible, the earthly sanctuary was made as copy and shadow of the heavenly sactuary which original and reality. Then can we say that we do not know the heavenly sanctuary? No, we can’t. We are supposed to know the heavenly or invisible sanctuary. Then how? The invisible sanctuary was made visible through the earthly or visible sanctuary. Then in this case can anybody make excuse for not knowing the heavenly sanctuary? Not at all. By simply looking at the earthly sanctuary, they can grasp the characteristics of the heavenly sanctuary.

Then what about the invisible image of God? Are we supposed not to know God? The bible says that even though God is invisible, there is a way for us to know God. How could it be possible? The bible says one thing on this earth was given to us to teach us “God’s invisible qualities-His eternal power and divine nature.” Then what was given to us to know God?

God let us know who he is through the creation of man? God created man in his own image, creating them as male and female.

Gen 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, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” 27 So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.

We cannot see the invisible image of God, but God gave us mankind to teach us the image of God. By looking at the image of visible man, we can know the invisible image of God. After creation, we can see two different images of man, male and female. Then through these visible images of man as copy and shadow, what is the original and reality that we should know? The invisible image of God. Then how many images of God will exist in heaven? Two, male and female. What has been the title given to this male image of God? God the Father. Then what title can be given to this female image of God? God the Mother.

Even from the creation of the world, God already let us know the existence of two different image of God, Father and Mother. According to the bible, just as God the Father appeared as man in the flesh 2000 years ago, God the Mother will appear as man (or more precisely woman) in the flesh in the last days to give us eternal life. Are you prepared to accept God the Mother who will appear in the human form in the last days? When she does appear, how can we know who she is? “These are the Scriptures that testifies about me,” said Jesus. Christ, God who comes as man in the flesh is testified in the bible. You should be prepared to recognize her to accept her and receive salvation. She might appear as ordinary woman; but in actuality she is the one who can give you eternal life if you are willing to accept.

[WMSCOG] Who Should We Know Through The Bible?

What is the bible for? What is it that we should learn from the bible? Is it moral lessons, history, stories…?

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

Who is written in the Bible? How can we know the one to come?

The bible is the book that testifies about the Christ or the Anointed One. The Christ means God Almighty who comes down as man in the flesh. When God comes down to this earth, he will make himself as man in every way so that it might be almost impossible for people to distinguish the Christ by looking at his physical appearance. That is why Jesus Christ was rejected by people of the time even though he was the God they believe for such a long time. Only a small number of people could see the divinity hidden behind the physical appearance of the Christ. Then how could they know? Through the Scriptures that is the bible because the bible is the book which testifies about the Christ. The only way for us to know the Christ is through the prophecies of the Scriptures. That is why even Jesus himself testified about himself through the bible, not through the miracles and wonders.

John 5:31 If I testifiy about myself, my testimony is not valid. There is another who testifies in my favor, and I knwo that his testimony about me is valid.

Who was the one testifies about Jesus? John the Baptist? No, Jesus says, “I have testimony weightier than that of John” immediately afterward. Then who is he speaking about? God. How can we receive God’s testimony so that we know who the Christ is? Through the bible.

Luke 24:27 And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.

After resurrection, Jesus appeared to his disciples who almost lost their faith in Jesus because of the things that happened to him: his suffering and death on the cross. To renew their faith in him, he simply showed them through the Scriptures the reason why all those things should happen to him. By teaching them the prophecies of the bible and the fulfillment through his death and resurrection, he was proving them that he is the Christ.

By using the bible to testify about himself, he is teaching us that the bible is the only true testimony or the weightier testimony coming from God himself. The only way for us to understand who the true Christ is through the testimony of God recorded in the bible.

1 Corinthians 15:3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures

Therefore, all the disciples of Christ also used the words of God in the bible to testify about the Christ. Those who believed God’s testimony in the bible could receive the Christ, but those who didn’t believe rejected him. All these things written in the past was written to teach us. Like the Jews who were tested about their faith in God through the Christ who fulfilled the words of God in the bible, we also are being tested now on our faith in God through the Christ who would appear for the second time according to the Scriptures. The story of the Jews teaches us what we should do to know the Christ, God coming as man in the flesh.

The only way for us to pass the test is through the testimony of God in the bible. Who does the bible say Christ Ahnsahnghong is? Who does the bible say the Heavenly Jerusalem is? The bible says that they are God, the Spirit and the Bride who give eternal life in the last days. The Jesus who said, “I will raise him up in the last days” came back again in the name of Christ Ahnsahnghong and giving out the water of life.

[WMSCOG] The Tree of Life and the Passover

Revelation 22:1 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2 down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.

According to the bible there is a tree which bears twelve crops a year and it produces leaves that heals the nations. What is this tree? How can we eat from the tree? Even from the beginning God already taught us about the tree of life so that we might understand the meaning of the tree.

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

According to the bible, the tree of life is a tree which gives the eternal life when we eat from it. Adam and Eve were given the opportunity to eat from the tree and live forever, but they disobeyed the commands of God and ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. They could not eat from the tree of life anymore and they could not have eternal life. Then what is the tree of life we must eat from to live forever? Is there any place with a secret garden with the tree of life planted in the middle? With the help of satellites and all the scientific tools, we now know there is no such place in this world. Then what is the tree of life? If it is meaningless to us, God would not have written this story in the bible. Everything was given to us to teach us about our salvation. Jesus let us know how we should read this book of Genesis.

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

Just as Jesus spoke in parable which contains hidden message in it, the book which speaks about the creation of the world, that is, Genesis also contains hidden messages in it. It means the creation of the world itself is a huge parable. Therefore, the tree of life in the book of Genesis is also a figurative language, not a reality itself. Then how can we find the reality of the tree of life? Who came to teach us the hidden things in the creation of the world? Jesus came to “utter things hidden since the creation of the world.” Therefore, we must take a look at Jesus teaching to find the reality of the tree of life. Then according to Jesus’ teaching what should we eat to live forever?

Jn 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.

According to Jesus’ teaching what should we eat to live forever? His flesh and his blood. Then what is the true reality of the tree of life? His flesh and blood. Just as Adam and Eve were forfeited of the tree of life (eternal life) because of their disobedience to the words of God, who said, “You must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of Godd and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die,” we too disobeyed the words of God and the eternal life was taken away from us. However, Christ came and opened the way to the tree of life again so that we can eat and live forever through his flesh and blood.

Mt 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 the Passover of the new covenant, our sins can be forgiven and we can receive eternal life back again. Just as we sinned and death came to all men (Rom 5:12) because of our disobedience to the words of God, we can receive eternal life and salvation by obeying the words of God in the Passover.

Even though the truth of Passover, the true reality of the tree of life was taken away from us, but to fulfill the prophecy Christ Ahnsahnghong appeared for the second time to give salvation to those who are waiting for him and restored the Passover for our salvation. And in the Church of God, we keep the Passover out of obedience to the words of God. Do you also want to eat from the tree of life?
