  • The Golden Hour of Salvation

    The Golden Hour of Salvation

    The definition of “golden hour” is the first hour after the occurrence of a traumatic injury, considered the most critical for successful emergency treatment. Since the golden hour is the most critical moment in the treatment, if we lose this moment, we can lose a life.

    Spiritually, it is the same. There is a golden hour for the salvation and if we lost the time, we can lose our salvation. In the parable of the ten virgins, the golden hour is the time period between the opening and the closing of the city door. They must enter the city before the door closes.

    2000 years Jesus taught the importance of the golden hour through the prophecy of the fall of Jerusalem. He prophesied about the fall of Jerusalem and taught his people that they must be warned and escape the coming disasters.

    Luke 21:20 “When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near. 21 Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those in the city get out, and let those in the country not enter the city. 22 For this is the time of punishment in fulfillment of all that has been written. 23 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! There will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people. 24 They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

    The Wise and Foolish VirginsWilliam Blake, 1826Matthew 25:1-6

    As he taught through this prophecy, actually Jerusalem was surrounded by the Roman army about 40 years later. The Jews were rebellious and the emperors of Rome tried many times to put an end to their disobedience by destroying the city.

    Nero sent his General Vespasian to conquer the Jerusalem and the Roman army surrounded the city of Jerusalem in 68 AD. Jesus told them that they should get out of the city to save themselves. Just as Jesus said the golden hour came for them to get out of the city.

    Miraculously, there were a brief span of time during the political upheaval after the death of Nero when the Jews could get out of the city. Vespasian withdrew the army during the time of turmoil and went back to Rome. The siege was broken and the Jews were given a golden hour to escape the imminent death.

    Those who listened to the teaching of Jesus fled to another city and could save themselves. However, those who did not listen stayed in Jerusalem. When Titus, the son of Vespasian, surrounded the city again in 70 AD about two years later, the golden hour for the salvation was over.

    The city was under the siege for about six months and finally it was captured by the Roman army. They devastated the city and killed about 1.1 million Jews. And about 100,000 Jews were enslaved and they were sent away throughout the world. That was the fall of Jerusalem. Even though God gave them two years of the golden hour so that they could save themselves. When they lost the time, however, they were all destroyed.

    Then what is the lesson this history gives us. In the parable of the ten virgins, those who prepared the lamp with the oil could enter the wedding banquet, which means they could receive salvation. But the five foolish virgins did not prepare the oil and left behind when the door was shut. And they lost their chance of salvation.

    God gave us this precious time of “golden hour” so that we can prepare our lamp and oil. We must be ready for the Christ’s coming and must enter the wedding banquet as chosen people of God.

  • Christ Ahnsahnghong Coming as Elijah

    Christ Ahnsahnghong Coming as Elijah

    Elijah Ahnsahnghong

    In the previous article, we have seen the relation between John the Baptist and Jesus Christ. John the Baptist came as Elijah to prepare the way for the Lord and he testified Jesus as Lord God who would come for the forgiveness of sins and salvation.

    However, even though the prophecies of Elijah were partially accomplished by the coming of John the Baptist, the complete fulfillment of the prophecies did not happen at that time. If we look at the prophecies closely, the true fulfillment of the prophecies was reserved for the last day.

    The Time of Appearance of Elijah

    In the Book of Malachi, we can see the prophecies of Elijah’s coming to prepare the way for the Lord and to turn the hearts of people to God. But it also testifies about the time frame when the prophecies are to be fulfilled.

    Malachi 4:1 “Surely the day is coming; it will burn like a furnace. All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble, and the day that is coming will set them on fire,” says the Lord Almighty.

    Malachi 4:3 “See, I will send the prophet Elijah to you before that great and dreadful day of the Lord comes. 6 He will turn the hearts of the parents to their children, and the hearts of the children to their parents; or else I will come and strike the land with total destruction.

    According to the prophecies above, the period is just before the total destruction with fire on the great and dreadful day of the Lord. Before everything is to be destroyed with fire, God is going to send Prophet Elijah to turn the hearts of people to God so that they could return to God for salvation. This shows that Elijah would come just before the total destruction with fire, that is, just before the Day of Judgment to save the children of God.

    Who is Elijah?

    Also, through the name Elijah, we can see that John the Baptist did not fulfill the prophecies completely. The name Elijah is a combination of “Eli” and “Jah”, which respectively means “God” and “Jehovah”. This means the true fulfillment of the prophecies must be accomplished by God Jehovah himself. He must appear as Prophet Elijah just before the Day of Judgment and He will fulfill the missions of Elijah: preparing the way for the Lord and turning the hearts of people to God.

    This explanation is a little bit strange. God is coming to prepare the way of God? Does it mean there are two Gods, the one who comes before to prepare the way and the other who comes after as Lord to give salvation? This seems to be odd in the perspective of most Christians who believe there are only one God in heaven, God the Father.

    Two Images of God: Male and Female

    This is a very serious question we have to ask to understand the meaning of the prophecies. Is there only one God or more than one? Actually the bible says there are two images of God: God the Father and God the Mother. In the original Hebrew version of the Old Testament God is referred to as Elohim for 2500 times in the bible. “Elohim” is the plural form of God in Hebrew, which means “Gods”, rather than God. In short, God is Gods, Father and Mother, not just one God the Father.

    Briefly we can see this through God’s creation of man in Genesis. According to Genesis, when God created man, God used himself as model for man. Even though God is invisible and we cannot know the image of God, since man was given the image of God, we can understand the image of God through man who was created after the image of God.

    Genesis 1:26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, ….  So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.

    There is something strange in the verse above. Rather than using a singular form such as “me” or “my”, God is referring to himself through the plural form, “us” and “our”. But then why? We can find the answer through man who God created with his own image. Man has two images, male and female, or Adam and Eve. Through the creation of man, we can conclude that God has two images too, male and female, that is, God the Father and God the Mother.

    God the Father and God the Mother

    Now we can understand the mystery of Elijah (who is God) coming as messenger to prepare the way for God. The prophecy is about God the Father (Elijah or God Jehovah) who is coming to prepare the way of God the Mother in the last day to save God’s people.

    Actually, this was already foreshadowed in the creation of Adam and Eve. As we know Adam represents God the Father (Rom 5:14). Then who does Eve the wife of Adam represent? God the Mother. The creation of Adam and Eve on the sixth day has some hidden prophetical meaning in it. In the prophetical term, one day is equivalent to one thousand years. (2Pe 3:8) Therefore, the six-day creation actually represents the six-thousand years of God’s salvation work.

    According to the plan of God, on the last day, that is, the sixth day, Adam and Eve would appear to lead the animals. The prophetical meaning of this is that at the end of the six thousand year’s salvation work the prophetical Adam and Eve would appear to lead the Gentiles to salvation who are represented as animals. (1Co 15:45)

    Elijah Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother

    All these prophecies got fulfilled by Christ Ahnsahnghong. Christ Ahnsahnghong came as Elijah and testified about the one who was to come after him, God the Mother. Just as Adam who represents Christ or God the Father testified about Eve (God the Mother) by calling her “the mother of all the living”, (Gen 3:20) Father Ahnsahnghong revealed Heavenly Mother New Jerusalem through the heavenly wedding banquet as the one who gives eternal life.

    Wedding Banquet and God the Mother: Elijah Ahnsahnghong revealed God the Mother through the heavenly wedding banquet.

    This all happened to fulfill the prophecies of the revelation. It says:

    Revealtion 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.

    This prophecy says that the water of life or “eternal life” would be given by the Spirit (God the Father) and the Bride (God the Mother). By the fulfillment of all the prophecies of the Bible we can say Christ Ahnsahnghong is the Elijah who was to come and God the Mother is the Lord we have to receive for salvation.

  • The Soul Exists

    The Soul Exists

    Does the Soul Exist?

    All throughout the history, human beings have had interests in the existence of the soul and wanted to prove its existence in many different ways. Recently I even read an article which is concerned about people who try to measure the weight of soul. Human beings have tried to answer this question, “Does the soul exist?”

    However hard people have tried to prove the existence of soul, still it is a big mystery in the human existence. The bible, however, testifies about the existence of soul even from the beginning and the world of spirits we will go back.

    The Creation of Man and the Soul

    The bible says the mankind was created with two different materials to live on this earth. That is, they have both body and soul.

    Genesis 2:7 7 Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.

    The dust of ground means body and the breath of life means soul or spirit. For the mankind to live on this earth God used both earthly material, “body” and heavenly material, “soul”. The combination of the body and soul makes a man “living” or alive.

    In this sense, a death of a man is the separation of soul from its body. When we say someone died, we are actually meaning that his spirit departed from his body. Therefore, the death we refer to is the death or destruction of body.

    When the body gets separated from the soul, the body decomposes and disappears. And the bible teaches this as the first death, the death of the body.

    The Existence of Soul After the First Death

    Then what happens to soul after the death of the body? The bible teaches that the soul still exists after the death of the body and continues to live on. After the death of body, soul or spirit goes back to the spiritual world where it originally came from.

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

    The bible says that the spirit or the soul returns to God. It means the soul originally came from God and the world of spirit, and after the death of the body it goes back to the spiritual world. Therefore, we can say that the spirit continues to live on even after the death of the body.

    We can confirm this through the testimonies of the bible. First, let us look at the teachings of Jesus Christ.

    Jesus’ Teaching about the Existence of the Soul

    Matthew 10:28 28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

    Here Jesus clearly teaches that the death of the body and the death of the spirit are separate. And He teaches that the soul exists apart from the body.

    Job about the Existence of the Soul

    We can see the similar testimony in the Old Testament too. Job testifies about the existence of the soul in the Book of Job.

    Job 19:25 I know that my redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand on the earth. 26 And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God; 27 I myself will see him with my own eyes—I, and not another. How my heart yearns within me!

    In the footnote of the book is written “apart from” instead of “in my flesh”. In another version, this part is written like this:

    Job 19:25 After I leave my body and my skin has been destroyed, I know I will still see God. 27 I will see him with my own eyes. I myself, not someone else, will see God. And I cannot tell you how excited that makes me feel! (ERV)

    What is common in both translations is the existence of “I” after the destruction of the body of the speaker. After the destruction of the body, then who is “I” who sees “God”? That is the spirit of the speaker. The spirit still exists and goes on even after the death of the body. And after the separation from the body, the spirit goes back to the spiritual world and will stand in front of God.

    The Day of Judgment and the Spirit

    In the Book of Revelation, Apostle John testifies about the souls or spirits of the dead standing in front of God for the judgment.

    Revelation 20:11 Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done. 14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. 15 Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.

    In this John is witnessing “the dead” standing in front of the throne of God. Then who are “the dead” in this book? They are the spirit or the souls of dead people. After the death of their body, the spirit will return to the world of the spirits and they are going to be judged by God. After the judgment, they are thrown into the lake of fire, which is called the second death, the death of the spirit or the soul of the person.

    Conclusion

    Through all these testimonies of the bible we can confirm the existence of the soul even though we cannot see it. The bible says that it originally came from God and will return to God after the death of the body.

    And the spirit or soul of a person will be judged by God according to what they have done on this earth while they are living. Apostle Paul testifies about the resurrection of the soul at the time of the judgment.

    Acts 24:15 and I have the same hope in God as these men themselves have, that there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked. 16 So I strive always to keep my conscience clear before God and man.

    Eternal Life and Eternal Condemnation

    And Jesus teaches about the judgment after the resurrection.

    John 5:28 “Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice 29 and come out—those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned.

    The righteous ones will be raised into eternal life and the evil into eternal condemnation. This is what the bible testifies about the existence of the soul of man. Even though we cannot see, the bible testifies that the soul exists. And just as Job said, we will see God with our own eyes at the time of judgment. I hope that we should be proven righteous in the eyes of God at that moment.

    We must know that our soul exists and we must seek God for the salvation of our souls. Come to World Mission Society Church of God or WMSCOG to meet God who has come for the second time for our salvation.

  • [WMSCOG] How to Escape from Disasters?

    [WMSCOG] How to Escape from Disasters?

    Luke 21:35  35For it (the great disaster) will come on all those who live on the face of the whole earth. 36Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.

    The Day of Judgment for Sodom. Jesus compared the Day of Judgment to the day of the destruction of Sodom. How can we escape the disasters on that day?

    Jesus said all the disasters testified in the bible will happen to all the peoples of the world at its appointed time. There would be no exception. That is why many people try to prepare themselves with many things such as shelters, foods and all the survival materials they can think of to escape the disasters. But the bible says that there is no human solution for the disasters and whatever we prepare for ourselves will be useless.

    Amos 9:1  Not one will get away, none will escape.2Though they dig down to the depths of the grave,from there my hand will take them. Though they climb up to the heavens,from there I will bring them down.3Though they hide themselves on the top of Carmel,there I will hunt them down and seize them.Though they hide from me at the bottom of the sea,there I will command the serpentto bite them.4Though they are driven into exile by their enemies, there I will command the sword to slay them. I will fix my eyes upon them for evil and not for good.”

    There is nothing we can do in our own way to escape from the disasters.

    Zephaniah 1:18  Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to save them on the day of the LORD’s wrath. In the fire of his jealousy the whole world will be consumed,for he will make a sudden end of all who live in the earth.”

    Then what is the way through which we can escape the disasters? If we cannot solve this problem with our own plan, then we must ask God to find the way. Then what is the way we must follow?

    1Peter 1:18  For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers, 19but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.

    God teaches us that we can receive redemption or salvation through the blood of Christ. Through the blood of Christ promised in the Passover, we can receive the redemption from all the disasters.

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

    Through the wine of the Passover, he allowed us to take part in the blood of the Christ so that we can escape from all the disasters. Nowadays, we can here people preparing many things to protect themselves by building space stations, submarines, underground shelters, food, money. But all the plan we have made will not work and cannot save ourselves from the disasters. Only the redeemed through the precious blood of the Christ in the Passover can have salvation.

    Let us give thanks to Elohim God, Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother Jerusalem, who gave us the truth of the Passover for our salvation.
