Probably the most wonderful promise God made in the bible is that God will be with his people on this earth and save them from the slavery of death. The Book of Isaiah prophesied that God would be with his people.
Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.
Immanuel: God Coming as man in the flesh and dwelling among his people.
This was the prophecy of God coming as son of man (or simply, as man in the flesh) and God would be with his people dwelling among them. And this prophecy was fulfilled by Jesus Christ coming down to this earth as man in the flesh even though he was God himself. (Matthew 1:22)
About the meaning of Immanuel (“God with us”), Apostle John gives a further explanation in the Book of John.
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning……14 The Word (God) 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.
John says that the Word (that is, God) “became flesh and made his dwelling among us.” It means God himself came as man in the flesh and put his dwelling among his people.
The Dwelling of God
As we already know this is a description about the birth of Jesus Christ. Even though he was God, he came as man and dwelt among his people to save them from their sin. (Jesus means “The LORD saves”. So if we put the two words “Jesus and Immanuel” together, it means God is with his people and saves them from their sins.)
John parallels God’s coming as man in the flesh to God’s putting his dwelling among his people. Through this we can see the physical body of man is compared to the dwelling of God. This can be confirmed by the words of Jesus too. In the Old Testament, the dwelling of God was the temple of God where God put His Spirit to dwell among his people. (Act 7:46, Exodus 15:17, 1 Kings 8:13)
However, Jesus declared that the temple of God is his own body because God put His Spirit in the body of Jesus Christ.
John 2:19 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.” 20 They replied, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?” 21 But the temple he had spoken of was his body.
In one of the famous scenes in the bible, Jesus teaches a Samaritan woman that the true temple of God is not in the city of Jerusalem anymore. (John 4:21) It means that he is the reality of the temple (God coming as man in the flesh). Since the reality had appeared, it was not necessary anymore to worship God in the physical temple.
The Prophecy of God’s Dwelling
Holy City New Jerusalem, the Dwelling of God
In this sense, we can know that the true temple or the dwelling of God is the Christ, God coming as man in the flesh. The body of Christ is the reality of the temple of God.
This is very important because God is going to come down as man in the flesh again. The Book of Revelation teaches that God will come down from heaven and put the dwelling of God among his people in the last days.
Revelation 21:1 Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 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. 4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’[b] or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”
Jesus healing people from all kinds of diseases and saving them from the sins and death.
Heavenly Jerusalem, God the Mother
In this vision, John saw Heavenly New Jerusalem is coming down from heaven. And this heavenly Jerusalem is the dwelling God establishes for His people in the last days. Then what is the meaning of this prophecy?
As we have already seen in Jesus Christ, this temple does not mean the physical temple in Jerusalem, but the spiritual temple God would establish on this earth to dwell among his people. In this sense we can understand that God is coming down in the flesh in the last day and put the Spirit of God in the physical body of Christ. In this way, God will be with His people and save them from their sins.
Then who is the Heavenly New Jerusalem that comes down from heaven to this earth as the dwelling of God? In the Book of Galatians, Apostle Paul testifies about the meaning of the Heavenly Jerusalem.
Galatians 4:26 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.
Conclusion
The Heavenly Jerusalem signifies God the Mother. Therefore, the phrase “the Heavenly Jerusalem comes down and makes the dwelling of God among His people” means God the Mother coming down from heaven in the flesh and dwell among Her people to save them.
This prophecy was already fulfilled by God the Mother coming down from heaven to this earth in the flesh. Now She is dwelling among Her people to redeem them from their sins and iniquities. She is God who even the highest heaven cannot contain. But She humbled herself and came down to this earth in flesh to fulfill the prophecies of the bible and to save us.
Let us give all thanks and praise to God Elohim, Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother New Jerusalem for coming to us in the flesh and dwelling among us. Truly, God is with us and saves us!
Jerusalem Temple and God the Mother–In the time of King Solomon, God allowed the Israelites to build a temple to put his name in. From that time on the temple in Jerusalem became the center of the worship for the Jews as God commanded them.
Deuteronomy 12:4 You must not worship the Lord your God in their way. 5 But you are to seek the place the Lord your God will choose from among all your tribes to put his Name there for his dwelling. To that place you must go; 6 there bring your burnt offerings and sacrifices, your tithes and special gifts, what you have vowed to give and your freewill offerings, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks. 7 There, in the presence of the Lord your God, you and your families shall eat and shall rejoice in everything you have put your hand to, because the Lord your God has blessed you.
Since the time of Solomon, Jerusalem became the most important place for the Jews in their worship of God.
The Prophecies of the Appearance of the Reality of the Temple
The Old Covenant and the New Covenant
Jerusalem Temple and God the Mother–However, in many places of the bible God foretold that the reality of the temple would appear. God gave the Law of Moses and the Jerusalem Temple as copy and shadow for the reality which would be revealed the people of God who would live in the time of New Testament.
Heb 10:1 The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming—not the realities themselves.
For this reason, Paul says that the old covenant was given the role of school master to lead us to the reality, that is fulfilled through the Christ in the New Testament.
Gal 3:2Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
The Prophecies of the Appearance of the Reality of the Temple
Jerusalem Temple and God the Mother–Then what is the reality of the temple in the new covenant? Just like all the Law of Moses, the temple worship was also a copy and shadow given to people until the time of the fulfillment by the Christ. The temple and worship was not the reality itself.
For this reason, God teaches us through the bible that the reality of the temple would be revealed in the later days.
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 Jerusalem The Throne of the Lord, and all nations will gather in Jerusalem to honor the name of the Lord.
In this prophecy, God foretold that people would not seek the Ark of the Covenant anymore. Then what is the ark of the covenant? The ark of the covenant which was also called “the Ark of the Testimony,” was a wooden chest for the two stone tablets of the Ten Commandments. God gave the two stone tablets and commanded Moses to build a sanctuary for the words of God.
According to the commands of God, Moses built a sanctuary and he put the ark of the covenant in the Most Holy Place of the sanctuary. And he made a cover for the ark of the covenant with two cherubim on top facing each other, protecting the ark of the covenant. This cover had many different names such as the atonement cover or the mercy seat or the throne of God because God said that he would sit enthroned between the cherubim.
The True Throne of God
Jerusalem Temple and God the Mother–Along with the sanctuary or the temple, this Throne of God was the most important religious objects in the worship of God. Therefore, wherever they went, the Israelites carried the ark of the covenant with them. When the ark was with them, they were blessed and prosperous. However, when they lost the ark because of their sins, they were punished and had to go through many hardships and distress.
Even though the ark of the covenant and the temple is so much important to them, God prophesied that the Israelites would not remember the ark of the covenant or they miss it even though they did not have one. How could it be possible? It is because the reality of the ark of the covenant and the temple would be given to them instead of the copy of it.
Even Jesus also taught about this 2000 years ago. He taught the Samaritan woman at the well that people didn’t have to go to the Jerusalem Temple to worship God.
John 4:21 “Woman,” Jesus replied, “believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
According to the command of God, God’s people built the Jerusalem Temple to honor the Name of God and to worship Him. But Jesus said that now people should not go to Jerusalem to worship God. This teaching of Jesus is rather strange considering the importance of the temple worship to the Jews of the time.
The Reality of the Temple
Jerusalem Temple and God the Mother–However, if we understand the reason Jesus gave the teaching for, we can see the point of his teaching. The temple was the place of the throne of God. And God said that he would dwell among his people sitting enthroned between the cherubim. This was fulfilled when God put His Spirit inside the temple after the completion of the temple.
1 Kings 8:6 The priests then brought the ark of the Lord’s covenant to its place in the inner sanctuary of the temple, the Most Holy Place, and put it beneath the wings of the cherubim. 7 The cherubim spread their wings over the place of the ark and overshadowed the ark and its carrying poles. …10 When the priests withdrew from the Holy Place, the cloud filled the temple of the Lord. 11 And the priests could not perform their service because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord filled his temple.
After the construction of the temple, people put the ark of the covenant or the throne of God into the Most Holy Place of the temple. From that time on, God started to dwell among his people by putting his Spirit in the Jerusalem Temple. In this sense, the temple is the place where God puts His Spirit to dwell among his people on this earth.
Christ’s Body, the Spiritual Temple
Jerusalem Temple and God the Mother–Then what is the reality of the temple which God would give his people instead of the physical temple? The answer can be found in the teaching of Christ.
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.
Through these verses we can understand that the body of Jesus was the spiritual temple or the reality of the temple. Instead of putting his Spirit inside a physical building, God put the Spirit of God in the body of Christ so that he would dwell among his people. Christ himself was the reality of the temple of God and God’s Spirit was inside the body of Jesus’ Christ.
Matthew 1:18 This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit.
The bible teaches that Jesus was born through the Spirit of God or the Holy Spirit. Jesus was God himself who had appeared as man by putting his Spirit in the body of Christ.
What is the heavenly Jerusalem in the Book of Revelation which is coming down from heaven? It is depicted as the Most Holy Place of the temple. What is the reality of the Most Holy Place and the Throne of God?
The Reality of the Temple in the Last Days
Jerusalem Temple and God the Mother–Therefore, we can conclude that the body of Christ was the reality of the temple of God. And the Spirit of God or the Holy Spirit was dwelling in his body. This is very important to us too. It is because the bible teaches that the temple of God would appear in the last days too to make His dwelling among His people.
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. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.
The bible says that the temple of God New Jerusalem would come down from heaven and make God’s dwelling among his people. Then what is the New Jerusalem that would come down from heaven as the dwelling of God? Does it mean the heavenly temple building would come down from heaven? Definitely not!! Jesus already foretold that people would not have to go to the physical temple to worship God.
Then what is this heavenly Jerusalem which would appear as the dwelling of God?
Galatians 4:26 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.
Paul teaches the identity of the heavenly Jerusalem. The heavenly Jerusalem is our Mother or God the Mother. And it means God the Mother would appear as Christ or God in the flesh and she would put the Spirit of God in Her body so that She would dwell among Her people.
Conclusion
Jerusalem Temple and God the Mother–2000 years ago, God the Father appeared as man and dwelt among His people by putting His Spirit in the body of Christ. Jesus came as the reality of the temple for the salvation of the people of God. In the same way, the bible teaches that in the last days the heavenly New Jerusalem God the Mother would appear as man and would make Her dwelling among Her people by putting the Spirit of God in Her body.
This prophecy got fulfilled by God the Mother coming down from heaven in the flesh. And she made her dwelling among the people of God for their salvation. Now she is calling Her people to come to her for the salvation of their souls.
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.
Now come to God the Father and God the Mother and receive the water of life.
Forgiveness Of Sins And God The Mother–If we look at the laws of the old covenant in the bible, we can see the festivals of God. God gave his people seven festivals divided into three times. The third set of festivals are festivals kept in Autumn. Those autumnal festivals are the Feast of Trumpet, the Day of Atonement, and the Feast of Tabernacles.
Today, let us take look at the Day of Atonement and the spiritual fulfillment of the festival. Through this examination, we will surely be able to know that the true forgiveness of sins are coming from God the Mother.
The Regulations of Day of Atonement: What is the meaning behind it?
The Day of Atonement
Forgiveness Of Sins And God The Mother–The date for the Day of Atonement is the the 10th day of the 7th month in the sacred calendar. This day has its origin from the work of Moses bringing the two stone tablets of the Ten Commandment from Mt. Sinai for the second time. To commemorate this event God commanded the Israelites to celebrate the Day of Atonement. (Ex 34:27-28, Lev 23:26-32)
The first set of the stone tablets that Moses brought down from Mt. Sinai was thrown down and broken into pieces because of the sins of God’s people. The people thought Moses was dead on the mountain. And they made an idol in the shape of a calf and started to worship it as their gods. Because of this sin of people, God destroyed many of them.
Finally, God was gracious and forgave them one more time. And to prove his forgiveness, he gave his words of the Ten Commandment for the second time. By keeping the words of God, they could receive the salvation of eternal life. (Mt 19:17)
The Regulations of The Day of Atonement
Forgiveness Of Sins And God The Mother–Then what was the regulations of the Day of Atonement in the Law of Moses? And what is the hidden meaning behind the regulations?
As we can see in the name the Day of Atonement, this is the day when God gives atonement or forgiveness for all the sins of people they committed throughout the year.
The Sanctuary and Forgiveness of Sins
Forgiveness Of Sins And God The Mother–When people committed sins, they have to sacrifice different animals according to the degree of the severity of their sins. Some brought birds; others animals of different kinds and different sizes. However, one thing was common to all of them. They must kill the animal and shed the blood of the animals for the forgiveness of their sins. It was because they would not receive the blessings of forgiveness without shedding of blood. (Heb 9:22) To receive the forgiveness, somebody must shed blood in their stead.
For this reason, when people brought sin offerings to the priests, the priest would kill the animals and took the blood sprinkling the blood on the sanctuary. In this way, the sanctuary took the sins of people over temporarily. And through this sacrificial ceremony people could hand their sins over to the sanctuary. (Lev 4:4-6)
The Forgiveness Of Sins On the Day of Atonement
Sin Offerings For Forgiveness
In this way, the sanctuary or the temple would hold the sins of people until the Day of Atonement. And finally on this day, the sins of people temporarily assigned to the sanctuary could be completely atoned through the regulations of the Day of Atonement. Let us first look at the regulations of the Day of Atonement.
Leviticus 16:3-6 3 “This is how Aaron is to enter the Most Holy Place: He must first bring a young bull for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering. … 5 From the Israelite community he is to take two male goats for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering. 6 “Aaron is to offer the bull for his own sin offering to make atonement for himself and his household.
For the cleansings of the sins relegated to the sanctuary, they first had to sacrifice animals, a bull for priests and their family, and a goat for the people. Then the high priest would enter the inner room or the Most Holy Place of the sanctuary, and sprinkle the blood of the animals for all the articles of the sanctuary.
Leviticus 16:15 “He shall then slaughter the goat for the sin offering for the people and take its blood behind the curtain and do with it as he did with the bull’s blood: He shall sprinkle it on the atonement cover and in front of it. 16 In this way he will make atonement for the Most Holy Place because of the uncleanness and rebellion of the Israelites, whatever their sins have been. He is to do the same for the tent of meeting, which is among them in the midst of their uncleanness.
Sins Handed Over To A Scapegoat
Forgiveness Of Sins And God The Mother–When the high priest finished the cleansing of the sanctuary, finally, the sins of people temporarily handed over the sanctuary is given to a scapegoat.
Leviticus 16:20 “When Aaron has finished making atonement for the Most Holy Place, the tent of meeting and the altar, he shall bring forward the live goat (or the scapegoat). 21 He is to lay both hands on the head of the live goat and confess over it all the wickedness and rebellion of the Israelites—all their sins—and put them on the goat’s head. He shall send the goat away into the wilderness in the care of someone appointed for the task. 22 The goat will carry on itself all their sins to a remote place; and the man shall release it in the wilderness.
All the sins the Israelites committed would be transferred to the scapegoat by laying hands on its head. And the scapegoat or Azazel was taken to the remote place and died there. In this way, the sins could be completely forgiven.
Sanctuary Layout: Holy Place and Most Holy Place
The True Meaning Of The Day of Atonement
Forgiveness Of Sins And God The Mother–Then what is the meaning of the Day of Atonement? The bible says that the laws and regulations of the old covenant were given to us as guardian to lead us to Christ who gives us the true forgiveness. (Gal 3:24)
The True Sanctuary Or Temple
To understand the regulations of the Day of Atonement first, we have to know the reality of the temple which takes over the sins of people. According to the bible, Christ is the reality of temple and he is the one who takes over our sins.
John 2:19 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.” 20 They replied, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?” 21 But the temple he had spoken of was his body.
Therefore, Christ is the reality of the temple and he is the one who takes our sins over through his sacrifice.
John 1:29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
The Most Holy Place and God the Mother
Forgiveness Of Sins And God The Mother–However, the most important part of the regulations of the Day of Atonement was “entering the Most Holy Place.” It was not allowed to enter the Most Holy Place. If anyone does, he got destroyed immediately. (Lev 16:1)
However, on this day only one time a year, the high priest could enter the Most Holy Place. Through this, he could cleanse the temple from all the sins of people. And he could bring the complete forgiveness by handing the sins over to a scapegoat. Then what is the reality of the Most Holy Place that we must enter for the complete forgiveness?
2000 years ago, Jesus appeared as reality of the temple. And he represented the outer room or the Holy Place of the temple. According to the bible, the reality of the Most Holy Place would appear in the last day to complete the forgiveness of sins and give salvation to God’s people.
The Reality of the Most Holy Place
The most important characteristic of the Most Holy Place is that it is shaped like a cube.
1 Kings 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.
This earthly sanctuary was made to reveal the reality, that is, the heavenly temple. (Heb 8:5) Through this model of earth sanctuary, God is teaching us the reality of heavenly sanctuary so that we can know who is the reality of the temple.
Revelations 21:9 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.” 10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God. …. 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.
According to John who saw the heavenly sanctuary, the heavenly Jerusalem or the heavenly Most Holy Place is coming down from heaven and was to reveal its true identity to us by coming down to this earth. Just as Jesus the reality of the Holy Place of the temple came down and taught us about the reality of the outer room, the reality of the inner room or the Most Holy Place would come to us so that we may know the true reality of the inner room that gives us the complete forgiveness.
Heavenly Most Holy Place, God the Mother
Forgiveness Of Sins And God The Mother–Then who is the Most Holy Place of Heaven that we must go to for the complete forgiveness of our sins? Apostle Paul let us know the true reality of the Heavenly Jerusalem.
Galatians 4:26 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.
The reality of the Holy Place of the temple was God the Father who came to us 2000 years ago. And the reality of the Most Holy Place was God the Mother who would come to us in the last days.
When Jesus destroyed his body of the Holy Place of the temple, he was opening way to the Most Holy Place of the temple. According to the bible, while the outer room of the sanctuary stands, the way to the inner room was closed by the curtain separating between the two rooms. (Heb 9:8) However, when Jesus sacrificed his body as sin offerings, the outer room and the curtain hiding the inner room were destroyed opening way to the Most Holy Place. (Heb 9:11-14, 10:19-20)
The Source of Forgiveness and God the Mother
God the Father wanted to reveal to us God the Mother who is the true source of salvation. The first coming Jesus and second coming Christ Ahnsahnghong wanted us to know about God the Mother.
Adam sacrificed his body and reveal the Eve, the Life to us. The Spiritual Adam God the Father sacrificed himself by destroying his body of temple to lead us to the reality of the Most Holy Place and the Spiritual Eve who can give us eternal life: God the Mother. Now we must come to God the Mother and receive her because she give us the water of life.
Zechariah 13:1 “On that day a fountain will be opened to the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and impurity.
Zechariah 14:8 On that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem, half of it east to the Dead Sea and half of it west to the Mediterranean Sea, in summer and in winter.
Revelation 22:17 The Spirit and the bridesay, “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.
Come to God the Mother for the forgiveness and eternal life. This is the last message of God to his people.
Conclusion
Azazel or the scapegoat: What is the meaning of the scapegoat?
Through the regulations of the Day of Atonement, God is teaching us that the sins God’s people committed will be taken by Father and Mother temporarily. But in the end all the sins will be handed over to Azazel (or the scapegoat), which is the symbolic representation of Satan.
The Satan will be put into the second death, tormented forever in the fiery furnace.
Revelations 20:10 And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
The bible says that Christ came to destory the work of Satan the Devil. (1Jn 3:8) To fulfill this purpose once and for ever, God the Mother the reality of the Most Holy Place came down to this earth. Those who accept God the Mother will recieve the forgiveness of sins and eternal life.
Festivals and God the Mother–In WMSCOG, we are calling ourselves as people of God’s festivals. We cherish the festivals of God and we make efforts to keep all the festivals of God. For this reason many people who do not know the meanings of festivals call us as legalists or religious fundamentalists. Today I would like to explain the reason why God gave us the festivals and why the festivals are important to the people of God.
The Purpose Of The Laws Of God
Festivals and God the Mother–Since the festivals are part of the Laws of Moses, we have to know the purpose of the laws first to know the meaning of the festivals. There are two different laws in the bible: the Law of Moses and the Law of Christ. (1Co 9:20-21) Then why did God give his people those laws? According to the bible the laws of God was not merely given to the people for the norm for their behavior or the code of conduct. There are more important things that we must know through the laws of the old and new covenant.
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.
Gal 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
Through these words of Christ and apostles we can know the purpose of the laws. God gave the laws so that people may come to know the Christ or the Savior.
The True Legalists
Festivals and God the Mother–Just as Christ said that the Laws of Moses was given to the Israelites so that they may know the Christ or Savior who would appear by fulfilling the words of God. In those days, even though the people of Isreal kept the Laws of Moses faithfully, they failed to recognize Jesus who came as Savior. They refused to accept the Christ and got destroyed.
They firmly held on to the laws, but they did not know the purpose God had given them the laws for. In that sense, they could be called legalists because they knew the law, kept the laws, but they could not get any benefit from the laws. They were keeping the law only for the sake of the laws. When the Christ finally arrived fulfilling all the laws, they rejected him without realizing the purpose they were keeping the laws for.
The Purpose Of The Festivals
Festivals and God the Mother–Then let us now find out more about the festivals of God. The festivals of God were the most important part of the Laws of Moses in the old covenant. And their main acts of worship were done in the Jerusalem Temple during the festivals by sacrificing animals shedding the blood. Then what was the purpose of the festivals? Just like other laws, the festivals were given to them so that they might know the Savior who the laws were leading to.
Resurrection of Jesus as the fulfillment of the firstfruits
Jesus As Firstfruits
The laws were working as guardian to lead them to the Christ who would come to give them salvation. 2000 years ago, Jesus finally came to fulfill God’s purpose foretold through the festivals of God. For example, during the Day of the Firstfruits, the priests waved the sheaf of first grains on the day after Sabbath following the Feast of the Unleavened Bread. (Leviticus 23:11) And Paul testifies that this law was accomplished by Jesus by resurrecting after his death as the firstfruits among those who had fallen asleep.
1 Corinthians 15:20 But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
Jesus as Passover Lamb
Festivals and God the Mother–Also, on the day of the Passover, people would sacrifice lambs according to the Laws of Moses. And Paul testifies that this also was fulfilled by Jesus by coming as the reality of the Passover Lamb and sacrificing himself for our sins.
1 Corinthians 5:7 Get rid of the old yeast, so that you may be a new unleavened batch—as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.
John the Baptist was also teaching us that it was the Christ who came as the reality of the Passover Lamb to take away the sins of people.
John 1:29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
Jesus coming to fulfill the prophecy of the Passover Lamb
Those With Knowledge And Those Without Knowledge
Festivals and God the Mother–All these testimonies reveals to us that the apostles had certain knowledge about the prophecies and its fulfillment by Jesus. And they also knew the purpose of God for the laws and they accepted Jesus as the one who was to come according to the prophecies of the bible.
However, the religious leaders of the time rejected Jesus, showing that they did not know what God purposed through the bible. Even though they were keeping all the laws of Moses, their worship was in vain because they could not receive blessings through those acts of worship. In spite of their reverence to the laws, they could not realize the Savior, the fulfillment of the laws. It was because they were trapped in the ceremonial acts of worship without realizing the hidden meanings behind them. In this sense, we can call them as legalists.
Then how about the apostles and the believers of Christ 2000 years ago? They kept the Sabbath and they kept the Passover. Then can we call them as legalists too? No, definitely not. Since they knew the meaning of the festivals, they came to realize the importance of the festivals. And they kept the festivals all the more diligently expecting the blessings they could receive by keeping the festivals.
Christ We Should Know Through The Festivals
Festivals and God the Mother–All these things were given to us as lessons so that we would learn from the past. God gave us the Laws of Moses and Jesus, and festivals of the old and new covenant. Then what should we learn from these laws and festivals? We must also know the fulfillment of the laws, the Christ who would appear in our time. If we are keeping the festivals only for the sake of the festivals, we should be called as legalists. However, if we keep the festivals with the knowledge of Christ and the salvation, we must keep the festivals more and more to thank God for the forgiveness and salvation.
Feast Of Tabernacles And God The Mother
The festivals of God are divided into three groups: the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Tabernacles. As I told before, Jesus fulfilled the first two festivals by fulfilling the prophecies of the Passover Lamb and the firstfruits.
The last unfulfilled prophecy is the Feast of Tabernacles. The Feast of Tabernacles are subdivided into three minor festivals: the Feast of Trumpets, the Day of Atonement, and the Feast of Tabernacle. Then what kind of messages are hidden in these festivals to reveal to us the Christ who would come in the last days for our salvation?
The Day of Atonement
Festivals and God the Mother–The Day of Atonement was considered as the most important day among all the seven festivals because all the sins committed by people can be forgiven on this day. When people committed sins, they brought sacrifices to the priests. And the priests killed the animals and sprinkled the blood on the curtains of the inner and outer rooms of the sanctuary. In this way, the sins of people were temporarily entrusted to the sanctuary. According to the regulation of the Day of Atonement, however, the high priest could enter into the inner room or the Most Holy Place of the sanctuary one time a year on this Day of Atonement.
On this day, through the blood of a lamb, the sins taken up by the sanctuary can be purified. And the sins could be transferred to a scapegoat by laying hand on the head of the goat. And the scapegoat which took up all the sins were taken into a solitary place and died. In this way, the sins could be cleansed from the people and the temple.

The Reality Of The Most Holy Place
Festivals and God the Mother–In this ceremony, what is most important is the inner room or the Most Holy Place. This was the center of the temple worship. Except for the Day of Atonement, nobody could enter into the Most Holy Place. If they did, God destroyed them with fire. (Lev 16:2) One time a year, only on this Day of Atonement, the high priest could enter the inner room through the blood of a lamb.
Why is this room so special? It was because God was dwelling in this room, sitting enthroned on the Atonement Cover between cherubim. This was the throne of God, where people could eat from the tree of life. And in this room there was the Ark of Covenant. In the Ark of Covenant, God put the two stone tablets of the Ten Commandments, which God gave his people for eternal life. (Mt 19:17) There was also kept the manna, the bread from heaven that gives life to people. (Jn 6:51)
In short, God’s salvation was hidden in the Most Holy Place. Therefore, entering the Most Holy Place meant to receive complete forgiveness of sins and salvation.
God the Mother and The Most Holy Place
Festivals and God the Mother–Through these festivals, God teaches us that we must enter into the Most Holy Place for salvation. Then how can we find the Most Holy Place? And how can we enter it? As we have already seen in Jesus Christ, these festivals and laws were given to us to teach us the reality, that is, the Christ. Then what is the reality of the Most Holy Place that we must meet in our time?
In the Book of Revelation John saw the heavenly sanctuary, the reality of the Most Holy Place coming from heaven to this earth. (Rev 21:10-16) And also Paul testifies about the reality of the heavenly sanctuary like this: “But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our MOTHER.” (Gal 4:26)
Through the regulations of the Day of Atonement, God was teaching us about God the Mother who would come as Savior to us in the last days.

The Feast of Tabernacles and God the Mother
Festivals and God the Mother–We can also confirm this through the last festival of God, the Feast of Tabernacles. This is the festival through which we can receive the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus said that through this festival we can receive the living water or the Holy Spirit. (Jn 7:37-39) However, Jesus stated clearly the condition in receiving the Holy Spirit by saying, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink.” This means to receive the Holy Spirit we first must know the savior and accept him, believing him. And then we can receive the Holy Spirit.
2000 years ago, on the Day of Pentecost the believers of Jesus could receive the Holy Spirit. But in the Book of John Chapter 7, Jesus said that we can receive the Holy Spirit on the Feast of Tabernacles. Then how can we receive the Holy Spirit during the Feast of Tabernacles? What does the bible says about the Holy Spirit in the last day?
The Spirit And The Bride
The seven festivals of three times represents God’s salvaton work in each age. The Feast of Unleavened Bread stands for the Age of Father Jehovah and the salvation work of God Jehovah who brought the Israelites from the slavery of Egypt. And the Feast of Weeks represents the Age of Son Jesus who resurrected as the firstfruits and gave living hope of resurrect ion and spiritual transfiguration.
Finally, the last festival, the Feast of Tabernacles represent the Age of the Holy Spirit, the last age when God completes his salvation work. Therefore, through the Feast of Tabernacles we must realize the Savior who would come in the last day to give us salvation.
Revelations 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.
In the last day, the bible says that we must come to the Spirit and the bride for the living water of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit is God the Father according to the trinity. Then who is the Bride? It is God the Mother, Heavenly Jerusalem who comes down from heaven in the last days. (Rev 21:9-10; Gal 4:26)
Prophecies of Zechariah
Festivals and God the Mother–Prophet Zechariah also prophesies about the living water in the last days.
Zechariah 14:8 On that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem, half of it east to the Dead Sea and half of it west to the Mediterranean Sea, in summer and in winter.
Zechariah 14:16 Then the survivors from all the nations that have attacked Jerusalem will go up year after year to worship the King, the Lord Almighty, and to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles. 17 If any of the peoples of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord Almighty, they will have no rain. 18 If the Egyptian people do not go up and take part, they will have no rain. The Lord[b] will bring on them the plague he inflicts on the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles. 19 This will be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles.
Zechariah says that the source of living water or the Holy Spirit is Jerusalem, that is, God the Mother. Also he says that we must come to Jerusalem for the rain or the Holy Spirit. (Joel 2:23, 28) Through the prophecies of Revelation and Zechariah, we can see that the Savior in the last days is God the Mother, Heavenly Jerusalem.
Festivals And God The Mother
Festivals and God the Mother–All the festivals of God lead us to the Christ or the Savior. And now through the festivals of God, we must realize the Savior who would come in the last days. The bible says the living water comes from the Spirit and the Bride, God Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother. Let us realize the Savior the laws are leading us to and let us accept them. They are the ones testified in the bible.
To fulfill the prophecies of the bible, God the Mother came down to us to give us the water of life. Now they are calling us to come. Let us come to God the Mother with a reverent and obedient mind. Let us seek the forgiveness of our sins for our salvation.
The Way of Life God the Mother–Whatever was done by Christ 2000 years ago was given to us as example.
John 13:15 I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.
Therefore, Apostles of Jesus teaches us that we must follow the teachings of Jesus as they followed them.
1 Corinthians 11:1 Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.
The Example of Jesus About The Way Of Life
The Way of Life God the Mother–Then what kind of example Jesus taught us about the way of life. We all want to receive the eternal life in heaven. To know the way of life, we also must follow the example of Jesus.
John 14:6 Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.
Jesus said that He is the way, which means we can get to our destination the kingdom of heaven by following the examples of Jesus. Therefore, the Apostles who followed the examples Jesus taught says that there is a way of life that we must follow to receive the eternal life.
Hebrews 6:19 We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, 20 where our forerunner, Jesus, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.
Jesus as our forerunner or in other words example entered into the inner sanctuary to show us the way of life. The inner sanctuary behind the curtain means the Most Holy Place where the Ark of the Covenant was.
Jacob’s Ladder by William Blake
The Reason We Should Enter The Most Holy Place
The Way of Life God the Mother–Then what is the true meaning of entering the Most Holy Place?
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
Paul teaches us that the way to the Most Holy Place is “a new and living way”. In other words, it is the way of life we must enter to receive the eternal life. Originally, this way of life into the Most Holy Place was not allowed to access since it was hidden by the curtain.
Hebrews 9:8 The Holy Spirit was showing by this that the way into the Most Holy Place had not yet been disclosed as long as the first tabernacle was still functioning.
The way of the Most Holy Place was not revealed yet until Jesus opened the way to it. If we look at the layout of the tabernacle or the sanctuary of the temple, we can see two rooms separated by a curtain. The room near to the entrance was called the Holy Place, and the inner room the Most Holy Place. As long as the curtain stood, the way to the Most Holy Places was hidden. It means the way of life was closed.
However, Apostle Paul teaches that the way to the Most Holy Place came to be open through the blood of Jesus. Now since the way is open, we can now follow Jesus’ example and enter into the Most Holy Place.
The Spiritual Most Holy Place
The Way of Life God the Mother–Then what is the Most Holy Place we must enter to receive eternal life. Should we go to Jerualem and build a temple there? Paul says all these things were given as copy and shadow until the reality should come.
Hebrews 9:9 This is an illustration for the present time, indicating that the gifts and sacrifices being offered were not able to clear the conscience of the worshiper. 10 They are only a matter of food and drink and various ceremonial washings—external regulations applying until the time of the new order.
What the priest did inside the temple according to the Law of Moses was mere “external regulations. When the Christ came and established “the new order,” the old regulations were abolished. Therefore, now we must find out the realities which God wanted to reveal to us through the illustration. Then what is the reality of the Most Holy Place? According to the bible, the Most Holy Place has one very important characteristic which can be found in nothing else. That is, it is designed like a cube.
1 Kings 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.

The Reality of The Most Holy Place, God The Mother
The Way of Life God the Mother–When King Solomon built the Jerusalem Temple, he designed the inner sanctuary (or the Most Holy Place) in the shape of a cube. This was a prophecy for the reality of the Most Holy Place that we must enter to receive the eternal life. In the Book of Revelation, we can find the reality, not a mere illustration or copy, of the Most Holy Place that is in heaven.
When Moses built the first sanctuary, God showed him the reality of the sanctuary which is in heaven. This earthly sanctuary was given as illustration for the heavenly sanctuary until the time comes when the heavenly sanctuary be revealed. Finally, in the Book of Revelation, the Heavenly Most Holy Place, the reality of the earthly inner place of the sanctuary is known to us. The bible says the real genuine Most Holy Place would come down from heaven to this earth.
Revelation 21:15 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.
John saw the reality of the Most Holy Place of the Heavenly Jerusalem Temple. And he testifies that it would come down from heaven to us. It means when this time comes, we don’t need a copy anymore because we WILL have the reality of the Most Holy Place. Then what is the reality of the Heavenly Jerusalem which is coming down from heaven in the last days? It is God the Mother who would come down from heaven in the last days. (Galatian 4:26, To know more about this topic, please read some related topics.)

The Way Of Life, God The Mother
The Way of Life God the Mother–Through this we can understand that the way of life Jesus showed us as example was actually God the Mother who would come as the reality of the Most Holy Place. Jesus said that he was the reality of the temple. Jesus represented the Holy Place, the outer room. Before his sacrifice, there was a curtain between the inner room and outer room. That is why the way to the inner room was not disclosed yet.
However, through his death on the cross, his body of the temple was torn down. At this moment, the outer room along with the curtain was brought down so that the way to the inner room could be revealed.
Matthew 27:51 At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split 52 and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. 53 They came out of the tombs after Jesus’ resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared to many people.
Through his death, Jesus opened the way to the Most Holy Place and many of saints could enter the inner room to receive the eternal life.
Conclusion
The Way of Life God the Mother–This was given to us as example. Christ wanted to reveal to us one thing by sacrificing his body to the point of death: the reality of the Most Holy Place God the Mother. To fulfill the prophecies of the bible God the Mother came down from heaven to us. Just as Jesus showed us as example, we must enter into the Most Holy Place by receiving the Heavenly Mother with joyful and thankful mind because she is the one who can give eternal life to us.
Mother left the heavenly throne of glory and honor and came down to us appearing in the human form. She is sacrificing herself day and night for our salvation. Now let us accept the Mother so that we also could enter into the Most Holy Place following Christ’s example.
Whatever is created on this earth was given to us to teach us spiritual and invisible things in heaven.
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.
God and spiritual things are invisible, but the bible says those invisible things are made clearly visible through the created things on this earth so that we can know the invisible things in heaven and cannot make any excuse to God that we did not know the spiritual world. That is why we must first look at the created things on this earth to know the spiritual things in Heaven.
Physical Temple and Spiritual Temple
One of things created by God on this earth is God’s Temple in Jerusalem or Jerusalem Temple where God promised that he would put his Spirit in it and dwell among his people on this earth. Through this physical Jerusalem Temple God is teaching us the reality of Jerusalem Temple in Heaven. In the Old Testament people went to Jerusalem Temple in Israel for the forgiveness of sins and salvation.
But as God’s people who are living in the age of fulfillment, we must seek the true temple of God to receive the forgiveness of sins and salvation. Out of ignorance, however, many people come to visit the temple in Jerusalem for the worship of God. But the bible says those who worship God in the earthly Jerusalem Temple was given as copy and shadow to teach us the reality of Heavenly Jerusalem which would appear at God’s appointed time.
First, let us find out the true reality of the temple. What is the spiritual temple? A temple is God’s dwelling place where he put his Spirit. In the Old Testament it was the physical building located in Jerusalem since God promised that he would put his Spirit inside the Temple, sitting enthroned between the cherubim in the Most Holy Place.
However, Jesus taught us the reality of the Temple that we must seek as people of God who are living under the new covenant. The physical temple was given to the people who were under the old covenant.
John 2:19 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.” 20 They replied, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?” 21 But the temple he had spoken of was his body. 22 After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said. Then they believed the scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken.
Through this Jesus taught that the reality of the Temple is Christ himself because God put his Spirit in the body of Christ and dwelled among his people. That is why to truly worship God now we must come to the Christ who is the true holy temple of God. And wherever the Christ is, that is the place we should go to worship God.
Earthly Jerusalem and Heavenly Jerusalem
With this in mind, let us think about Jerusalem Temple, the dwelling place of God. In the time of Solomon, the king established the temple of God so that people would come to worship God and to receive the forgiveness and salvation. This earthly Jerusalem Temple was also given as copy and shadow to teach us the reality of Heavenly Jerusalem Temple, where we should go to receive the forgiveness of sins and salvation. Apostle Paul teaches us about the Heavenly Jerusalem.
Galatians 4:24 These things are being taken figuratively: The women represent two covenants. One covenant is from Mount Sinai and bears children who are to be slaves: This is Hagar. 25 Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present city of Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children. 26 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.
Paul explains the spiritual meaning of Abraham’s family through this two sons: Isaac and Ishmael. Ishmael was born through Hagar who had been a slave girl serving Sarah and Isaac who was born through Sarah, the legitimate wife of Abraham. In bible, symbolically Abraham represents God himself so Abraham’s children represent God’s people who would be the heirs of God to inherit the kingdom of heaven. Among the two sons of Abraham, Isaac was chosen as heir even though he was not the firstborn to Abraham. That is why we must become like Isaac to receive salvation as heir of God. Then how can we become Isaac?
Paul explains the parabolical meaning of Abraham’s family history. It can be represented as table below.
Hagar Sarah Old Covenant New Covenant Law of Moses Law of Christ Mountain Sinai Mountain Zion Earthly Jerusalem Heavenly Jerusalem Children of Slave woman Children of Free woman Death Salvation
What is the Heavenly Jerusalem Temple?
God gave the earthly Jerusalem Temple to those who were under the old covenant, but to his true people who are to be saved he prepared the heavenly Jerusalem Temple that we must go to worship God. Then how can we find this spiritual Heavenly Temple to meet God? Paul said, “But the Jerusalem that is above (in heaven) is free and she is our mother.” He was teaching that the heavenly Jerusalem we must seek was in heaven.
Here we are put under a dilemma: as sinner we must receive the forgiveness of sins on this earth to go to heaven, but the only way for us to receive salvation is through the Jerusalem in heaven. Without receiving the forgiveness of sins we cannot go to heaven, but to receive the forgiveness of sins we must go to heaven to go to Jerusalem in heaven which is the true reality of the temple we must go to worship God. This was the same situation for God’s people 2000 years ago.
Even though Jews were given the physical temple in Jerusalem to worship God, it could not give them complete salvation that is why they were still under the slavery of sins. In this hopeless state the Christ who was the reality of the temple came down as man in the flesh to this earth to give them the complete salvation. Since it was impossible for a sinner to go to heaven to worship God in the true temple of God, the heavenly temple came down to this earth to give the true forgiveness of sins.
It would be the same today. Since we cannot go to heaven to worship God in heavenly Jerusalem, that Heavenly Jerusalem must come down to us to give us the true forgiveness of sins just like the Christ 2000 years ago.
Heavenly Jerusalem Coming Down to this Earth
Now the question is when the Heavenly Jerusalem comes down to this earth.
Revelation 21:9 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.” 10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God. 11 It shone with the glory of God, and its brilliance was like that of a very precious jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal. 12 It had a great, high wall with twelve gates, and with twelve angels at the gates. On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel. 13 There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south and three on the west. 14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
The spiritual Jerusalem is coming down to this earth and makes its dwelling among the people so that people can come to this heavenly Jerusalem to receive the forgivenss of sins and salvation. But we cannot imagine that a temple building is going to fall down from heaven to this earth. But then how would it appear to us? 2000 years ago, the reality of Temple God himself came down to this earth in the flesh and put his Spirit in his body. Through this we can see God is the reality of temple and God establishes the heavenly temple on this earth by coming as man in the flesh.
Therefore, the Heavenly Jerusalem which is coming down out of heaven actually means God who is coming down as man with a physical body. 2000 years ago it was only God the Father came in the form of male to give us the forgiveness of sins. But according to the bible in the last days, it is the Lamb (Jesus Christ) and his Bride (Heavenly Jerusalem) that are coming down to this earth in the human form. Then who is the bride of God, the heavenly Jerusalem?
Galatians 4:26 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother
The bible teaches that we have our mother in heaven too. And she is going to come down to this earth in the human form. Elohim God (our Father and our Mother) comes together as man in the flesh in the last days as true temple of God and will give us the forgiveness of sins and salvation.
Conclusion
Therefore, we who are living in the last days must seek the Heavenly Jerusalem our Mother who came down to this earth as the true temple of God to dwell among us and to give us salvation. That is why those who want to worship God in spirit and truth must come to Heavenly Jerusalem our Mother. To fulfill the prophecy God the Father and God the Mother came down to this earth. They are the reality of the temple.
Revelation 21:22 I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
Father and Mother are the true temple of God and they are God’s dwelling place which are going to be established in the last days. And we must come to this God’s dwelling place to worship God.
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. 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.
That true reality of Temple came down to this earth to give the salvation, the water of life. Come to our Mother Heavenly Jerusalem. Come to the World Mission Society Church of God and receive the salvation.
