    The Evidence to be God’s People

    Today there are so many people who claim to be the people of God. However, Jesus says that not all of them are the true people of God. Then how can we distinguish who the people that belongs to God are and those who are not?

    The High Priest with the Urim and Thummim

    In the old covenant, among the people who came back from the Babylonian captivity in the time of Ezra, there were many who could not prove their own genealogy. And the God teaches that only the high priest with Urim and Thummim can decide whether they belong to the people of God or not.

    It is the same with us today. As believers of God we must have the high priest with Urim and Thummim who can declare that we are the true people of God. Then who is the high priest with Urim and Thummim?

    First, let us think about the meaning of Urim and Thummim? In the Law of Moses, the high priest should wear a breastpiece with two gem stones, which represent Urim and Thummim, in the time of making decisions.

    Exodus 28:30 Also put the Urim and the Thummim in the breastpiece, so they may be over Aaron’s heart whenever he enters the presence of the Lord. Thus Aaron will always bear the means of making decisions for the Israelites over his heart before the Lord.

    And the meaning of Urim is “light” and Thummim “perfection,” which means the perfect light or truth since light means “truth.” Therefore, the high priest with perfect light signifies that the high priest who comes with the perfect truth.

    The Order of Aaron and the Order of Melchizedek

    Then what is the perfect truth? In the old covenant or the Law of Moses, the priesthood was following the Order of Aaron, and the bible teaches that this priesthood was imperfect. And later it was changed into the perfect one.

    Hebrews 7:11  If perfection could have been attained through the Levitical priesthood—and indeed the law given to the people established that priesthood—why was there still need for another priest to come, one in the order of Melchizedek, not in the order of Aaron? 12 For when the priesthood is changed, the law must be changed also.

    The Levitical priesthood or the Order of Aaron in the old covenant was not the perfect light or truth. And the bible teaches that the Levitical priesthood has changed into the priesthood in the Order of Mechizedek. This means the imperfect priesthood (the Order of Aaron in the old covenant) changed into the perfect priesthood (the Order of Melchizedek in the new covenant).

    Hebrews 7:18 The former regulation is set aside because it was weak and useless 19 (for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.

    The former regulation (the Order of Aaron and the Law of Moses following the priesthood of the Order of Aaron) was not perfect for the salvation. And for this reason, a better hope (the priesthood in the Order of Melchizedek and the Law of Christ) was introduced to give us salvation.

    God’s People Through the Passover

    The Law of Moses which was the imperfect light or truth changed into the Law of Christ, which is the perfect truth. Therefore, the high priest in the Urim and Thummim means the high priest following the Order of Melchizedek. Then who is the high priest in the Order of Melchizedek? And what was the perfect truth that he brought for the salvation?

    Hebrews 5:8 Son though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered 9 and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him 10 and was designated by God to be high priest in the order of Melchizedek.

    Son, that is Jesus Christ, was the high priest in the Order of Melchizedek. And the perfect truth that he brought for salvation was the new covenant Passover, which is the symbol of Mechizedek. As Mechizedek the high priest of God blessed Abraham with bread and wine, Jesus as the reality of the high priest in the Order of Melchizedek blessed us with the bread and wine of the Passover.

    Even though we were not God’s people once, through the Passover new covenant we became the people of God.

    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. 55 For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. 56 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them.

    Through the Passover we can remain in God, which means we can belongs to God and be God’s people.

    Jeremiah 31:31 “The days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah. 32 It will not be like the covenant I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they broke my covenant, though I was a husband to them,” declares the Lord. 33 “This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel after that time,” declares the Lord. “I will put my law in their minds     and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.

    Christ Ahnsahnghong, the High Priest with the Urim and Thummim

    Truly Jesus is Our God who came as high priest in the Order of Melchizedek and through the Passover we can be the people of God. Also for the same reason, Christ Ahnsahnghong who restored the new covenant Passover, the perfect truth is the high priest with the Urim and Thummim and he is the one who can give us salvation through the perfect light of the new covenant. We must accept Christ Ahnsahnghong and keep the new covenant Passover to the end.

  • The Order of Melchizedek and Christ

    The Order of Melchizedek and Christ

    The bible testifies that the Christ who appeared 2000 years ago will come again for the second time in the last days for our salvation. (Hebrews 9:28) When he came for the first time, it was not easy for people to recognize him and receive him because he hid all the spiritual glory behind the flesh.

    In the same way, when he comes for the second time again as man in the flesh, it would not be easy for people to recognize him. He would come to his people, but his people would not know who he is. Instead of the glory of God, they would only see the physical appearance of the second coming Christ.

    Then how can we know the glory of God hidden behind the curtain of his flesh and know he is the one whom we have been waiting for?

    Jesus’ Eternal Priesthood

    The Order of Aaron

    2000 years ago, Jesus came as high priest in the Order of Melchizedek. Before Jesus, the priesthood was given to the descendants of Aaron and it was called the priesthood in the Order of Aaron. According to the Law of Moses, which was the principal foundation of the Order of Aaron, a priest could mediate between God and God’s people through the animal sacrifice by shedding the blood of the animal.

    However, the bible says that the Order of Aaron was only the copy and the shadow for the reality accomplished through the Christ.

    The Order of Melchizedek

    Unlike the priesthood in the Order of Aaron, Christ came as the high priest in the Order of Melchizedek. As the high priest in the Order of Melchizedek Christ blessed his people with the bread and wine of the Passover so that we can be forgiven for our sins and receive the blessings of eternal life.

    Christ came as the high priest in the Order of Melchizedek, and he gave up his flesh and blood as sacrifice to God instead of an animal sacrifice as it was practiced in the Order of Aaron in the old covenant. And the bible says that the priesthood in the Order of Melchizedek will last forever and it will not be changed anymore.

    Eternal Priesthood

    Psalm 110:4 The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind: “You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.”

    In the Book of Hebrews Apostle Paul says that the priesthood in the Order of Melchizedek will last forever and God accomplishes the complete and eternal salvation through the priesthood of Melchizedek.

    Hebrews 5:8 Son though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered 9 and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him 10 and was designated by God to be high priest in the order of Melchizedek.

    Unlike the priesthood of Aaron in which the high priesthood changed many times because of death of the high priest and unlike the animals sacrificed in the priesthood which should be renewed whenever it was offered for they needed another animal for the sacrifice, the priesthood of Christ was eternal because there is no change in the high priesthood (because the Christ is eternal). Also in this priesthood, there is no need of another sacrifice because Christ completed the sacrifice by offering his body once and for all.

    The Priesthood of the Second Coming Christ

    Therefore, when the Second Coming Christ comes, he must appear as the high priest in the Order of Melchizedek, the unchanging priesthood of God. Jesus Christ gave up his body once for the forgiveness of sins and eternal life.

    On the night of the Passover, he gave his disciples bread and wine of the Passover, which represent his flesh and blood. Just as Melchizedek blessed Abraham with bread and wine, Jesus blessed his people with bread and wine of the Passover. Jesus truly completed the Order of Aaron.

    When Jesus comes for the second time for the salvation, he must come again as the high priest in the Order of Melchizedek.

    Christ Ahnsahnghong The Second Coming Christ

    The symbol of Melchizedek “the bread and wine” of the Passover disappeared during the Dark Age. In this state no one could receive the blessings of salvation. For this reason, Christ must come again as high priest in the Order of Melchizedek and restore the new covenant Passover the symbol of Melchizedek.

    Today even though there are many different churches and religious leaders of many congregations, nobody could bring the bread and wine of the Passover and restored the priesthood of Melchizedek for the salvation of God’s people. It was only Christ Ahnsahnghong who restored the new covenant Passover. Therefore, we can surely say that he is the high priest in the Order of Mechizedek. He is the second coming Christ who can give eternal salvation to his people.
