    [WMSCOG] Festivals And God The Mother

    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.

    Festivals and God the Mother

    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 the Reality of the Passover Lamb
    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.

    Priests Carrying the Ark of the Covenant

    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.

    [WMSCOG] Jerusalem Mother

    Mother In The Creation Of God

    The core teaching of God in the bible is the eternal life we will have in heaven. Therefore, we must have the eternal life promised in the bible. Many people says that they could receive eternal life by the faith in Christ, or through the baptism they received. Many people give many different answers. Then how can we know how to receive the eternal life to go to the kingdom of heaven? The Bible teaches that there is God the Mother, Heavenly Jerusalem who would come to give us eternal life. God said that the physical and visible world on this earth was created to teach the spiritual and invisible world in heaven. Therefore, to understand the spiritual world which we cannot see, first we must look at the physical world we see.

    Revelation 4:11   You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.

    The bible says that this physical world and everything in it were created according to the will of God. Then what is the will of God in creating a mother? In this physical world how is the life given to a child? It is always given through a mother who is the true life-giver in this physical world. Birds, fish, animals, and human beings, even insects give life to its young through mother. And this world was created to show us the invisible world and as in the physical world, in the spiritual world also the spiritual life should be given through the spiritual Mother or God the Mother.

    The source of life on this earth is in a mother. Through this God is teaching about the spiritual Mother who gives us eternal life, that is, God the Mother.

    Then can we find the existence of God the Mother in the bible? Even though it seems to be logical to have a spiritual Mother to give us the spiritual life, it would be absurd and blasphemous to believe in God the Mother if the bible does not testifies about the spiritual Mother. If it does, however, we must believe God the Mother even though we might think differently, right? Then does the bible say that we have God the Mother who can give us the spiritual life? We are so accustomed to the notion of God the Father and we might think it is wrong even to think about God the Mother. But the bible testified about God the Mother even from the beginning just as it testified about the Christ even from the beginning as prophecies. Just as Christ who would come to this earth according to the prophecies, God the Mother would appear to us at the appointed time of God.

    God The Mother In The Creation Of Man

    2000 years ago when Christ appeared, those who did not know or believe the prophecies of the bible rejected Christ and rejected their own salvation because they could not accept the notion of God coming as man, which was against common sense of the time. In the same way, many people who do not know the prophecies would reject God the Mother because the notion of God who exists as female image is contrary to the common sense of today and people might reject God the Mother who appears on this earth to give us salvation. Therefore, we must know God the Mother and accept her if she is testified in the bible. Then what does the bible says about God the Mother? Let us take a look at the beginning, the Book of Genesis to find some testimonies about God the Mother.

    Genesis 1:26   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.”

    This verse in the Book of Genesis was a riddle to many biblical scholars because the referents of God, “us” and “our” is contrary to the common sense of God. People says that God is one and then why does the bible use the plural form (us and our) to refer to God? Simply the answer is God is not one (singular), but two (plural). Let us confirm this through the creation of God in Genesis. Even though we cannot see God to find out the images of God because God is spiritual and invisible, God created one physical and visible thing on this earth to teach his invisible image. God created man (or mankind) in the image of God and therefore, to know the image of God we can look at the image of man because man was given God’s image. Then let us look at the creation of man to find out the image of God.

    Genesis 1:27    So God created mankind in his own image,
    in the image of God he created them;
    male and female he created them.

    Mankind who was created in the image of God was created as male and female. Male (Adam) and Female (Eve) were created according to the image of God. Therefore, we can be sure that there should be a male image of God who gave male (Adam) his image and also there must be a female image of God who gave her image to female (Eve). The male image of God has been called God the Father for thousands years by the people who had knowledge of God and then what should the female image of God called? She must be called God the Mother.

    How can we expect life without a mother?

    God The Mother In The Creation Of Adam And Eve

    This can be confirmed through the teachings of Christ too. According to the bible Adam was created to resemble the male image of God and therefore he was created to teach us God the Father who was his original image in heaven. Therefore, Adam represents God the Father. Let us confirm.

    Romans 5:14   Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who is a pattern of the one to come.

    Paul teaches that Adam in Genesis was created to teach us “the one to come” in the future. Then who is the one who was to come in the future? Isn’t it the Christ, who is God coming in the flesh? Since Adam was created as a pattern of Christ, to know Christ we must look at Adam. Through this we can know that God created Adam, a physical man on this earth to teach us the Christ, God the Father who is spiritual and invisible. If then, what is the will of God creating Eve, the wife of Adam? Just as God created Adam to teach us God the Father who would come down to this earth to give us eternal life, God created Eve to show us God the Mother who would come down to this earth as man in the flesh to give us eternal life.

    In this physical world to give life to the children we need father and mother and in the same way, to give eternal life God has been teaching even from the beginning that we need God the Father and God the Mother. And especially, God the Mother is the one who will give life to the children just as physical mother who gives physical life to her children. A father is the one who gives seeds for the life in this physical world and mother is the one who transforms the seed into a life. 2000 years ago Jesus Christ gave the spiritual seeds (the words of God) which will be created into life only through God the Mother at the last day.

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

    This is the seeds or the words of God for the eternal life given by God the Father, which will sprout into a new life through God the Mother at the last day. Christ said that the life is given through his flesh and blood. Then what is his flesh and blood? On the night of the Passover, Jesus said that the bread and wine of the Passover represent his flesh and blood and through the Passover we can take part in his flesh and blood to receive the forgiveness and eternal life. But this words of God were given until the time of fulfillment when the true reality of Christ’s flesh and blood revealed to give eternal life.
    According to the bible Adam was created as pattern for God the Father coming as man in the flesh. That was fulfilled by Jesus Christ by coming as spiritual Adam to give us eternal life.

    1 Corinthians 15:45    So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit.

    Jesus came as Adam to give us life and he gave us his flesh and blood for the eternal life. Then what is his flesh and blood that gives us eternal life at the last day? What is the meaning of the Passover? To understand these things, we must look at Adam who was given as pattern for the Christ. Therefore, to find out the meaning of Christ’s flesh and blood we must look at Adam’s flesh and blood. Then what is the secret that is hidden in Adam? What is his flesh and blood?

    Adam and Eve were created according to the invisible image of God. Even though God is invisible, through Adam and Eve God is teaching us that there are two images of God, male and female, that is, God the Father and God the Mother.

    Genesis 2:21     21 So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and then closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. 23 The man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.”

    God created Eve with bones and flesh of Adam. Since a bone represents blood it produces in its marrow, Adam’s bones and flesh mean Adam’s flesh and blood (bone). Then what is the reality of Adam’s flesh and blood? It is Eve. Then what was the will of God in creating Eve?

    Genesis 3:20    Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become the mother of all the living.

    Eve means “life” or “living” and she was created to be the mother who would give life to all the living, or all those who would receive the eternal life. When God said, “I am the God of Abraham, God of Isaac, God of Jacob. I am not the God of the dead, but the God of the living,” the living are not the ones who have physical life on this earth, but the spiritual life in heaven. According to Genesis, however, Eve (Adam’s flesh and blood) was created to give the eternal life. As we have already examined, this story of Adam and Eve was actually a prophecy about Christ or God who was to come as man in the flesh to give us eternal life at the last day.

    God The Mother In The Book Of Revelation

    2000 years ago when Jesus came down to this earth it was not the time for God the Mother to be revealed. That is why he gave the promise of eternal life through the seeds, the words of God until the time when the true reality of his flesh and blood, that is, the last Eve be revealed at the last day. Then when would Eve be revealed who is the Mother of all the living and who can give eternal life to her spiritual children? If we look at the Book of Genesis, the last day of the creation is the sixth day because on the seventh day God finished his creation work and took rest so the last day of the creation is the sixth day. What did God do on the sixth day? First, he created animals and then as the last thing of his creation he created man, Adam and Eve. This six day creation actually represents 6000 years of God’s salvation work. (2 Peter 3:8) And the fact that God created Adam and Eve on the sixth day means that God would come down as spiritual Adam and Eve at the end of his salvation work to give eternal life to God’s people. And this was recorded as the Spirit and the Bride in the Book of Revelation.
    The Book of Revelation shows the things that would happen at the last day and in the last day the second coming Christ (the Last Adam) would come with his bride (the Last Eve) to give eternal life. In other words finally at the last day the reality of the Passover (Christ’s flesh and blood), that is, God the Mother would be revealed so that God’s people would receive eternal life from her.

    Revelation 19:7   Let us rejoice and be glad
    and give him glory!
    For the wedding of the Lamb has come,
    and his bride has made herself ready.
    8 Fine linen, bright and clean,
    was given her to wear.”

    Who is the Lamb? It is the second coming Christ who was to come at the last day, or we can called him the last Adam who is coming to give us eternal life. But when he is coming at the last day, he is not coming by himself, but he is coming with his bride (Adam’s bride or the Last Eve). Many people says that this bride of Christ is God’s people, but this is not true in this context even though it might be true in some other places. Let us confirm by looking at Chapter 21.

    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.

    The wife of the Christ is the Heavenly Jerusalem who is coming down from heaven at the last day. Jesus said that he came down from heaven 2000 years ago, which meant he came down to this earth as man in the flesh. In the same way, this Heavenly Jerusalem is coming down from heaven at the last day. Then what is the heavenly Jerusalem and how would this come down from heaven?

    Galatians 4:26   26 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.

    the Jerusalem above (or in heaven) represents our mother. Just as we have our Father, one spiritual Father in heaven, we have our Mother or one spiritual Mother in heaven. Once God the Father came down to his earth as man in the flesh and also God the Mother (Heavenly Jerusalem) would come down to this earth as man–or more specifically as woman–in the flesh at the last day to give us life. So the Lamb and the Bride in the book of Revelation are actually God the Father and God the Mother who would appear at the end of 6000 years of God’s salvation work to give eternal life. And the bible testifies them as the Spirit and the Bride who is coming to give eternal life.
    “Adam named his wife Eve because she would become the Mother of all the living.” God is God of the living and the living receives life through Eve who represents God the Mother.

    God The Mother Giving Eternal Life

    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.

    The Spirit is the Lamb or God the Father who is coming as the Last Adam to give life. Then who was the Bride? The Bride of Christ is the Heavenly Jerusalem our Mother or the Last Eve who is the true reality of the flesh and blood of Adam and who was to come as the mother of all the living. 2000 years ago, Adam came and he tore his flesh and shed his blood and gave the Passover as promise for the eternal life and finally Christ Ahnsahnghong came down to this earth for the second time to reveal us the reality of his flesh and blood, God the Mother who can give us the eternal life. Through this we must realize the time frame we are living in. We are truly live at the last day on which Jesus promised eternal life 2000 years ago. And now we must accept the Last Adam and Eve, God the Father and Mother who came to us as man in the flesh to give us eternal life. This is the will of God that we should follow: Life is given through a mother physically and spiritually. God the Mother is calling the children to come to receive the eternal life.
    Come to the Spirit and the Bride to receive the water of life!!
