  • [WMSCOG] Sins Committed By God’s People

    The bible says that the wage of sins is death and everybody suffers the pain of death because everybody committed sins. And also even though they are sinners, Christ came down to this earth and shed his blood to give us the forgiveness of sins so that we can be freed from the sentence of death given to us as sinners. Therefore, not to commit a sin anymore we must understand what sins are and we must eradicate the source of sins from us so that we would not entangle into the same sins over again. Then first we must know what are considered as sins in the eyes of God. What are sins?

    Jeremiah 2:13   “My people have committed two sins:
    They have forsaken me,
    the spring of living water,
    and have dug their own cisterns,
    broken cisterns that cannot hold water.

    God teaches us that two things are considered as sins by God: first, forsaking God, and second digging their own cisterns. Then what are the meanings of these verses? First, let us think about God’s rebuking for forsaking God, the spring of living water. What is the living water?

    Isaiah 12:2   Surely God is my salvation;
    I will trust and not be afraid.
    The Lord, the Lord himself, is my strength and my defense;
    he has become my salvation.”
    3 With joy you will draw water
    from the wells of salvation.

    The living water means “the well of water” that gives salvation. So living water simply means salvation. Let us confirm this through the teaching of Jesus. Christ taught what the living water was to a Samaritan woman.

    John 4:10   Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.” 11 “Sir,” the woman said, “you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? 12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his livestock?”  13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”

     

    The living water is the spring of water welling up to eternal life. Then who is the source of living water? It means, “Who is the source of eternal life?” It is only God who can give us eternal life. That is why in the Book of Jeremiah God the Father Jehovah said that he is the source of living water and in the Book of John Jesus said that he is the source of living water. It was because Jehovah and Jesus were the names of God given to God’s people in accordance with the plan of God for the salvation of his people. Therefore, the first sin of God’s people of forsaking the source of living water means that they forsook God who could give them eternal life and they depend on themselves or someone else for the salvation.

    sins of God's people seeking the way of salvation by themselves

    If we take a look at the time of Jeremiah, we can understand the situation a little bit better. In those days, God’s people did not obey the commands of God and they depended on different things for salvation both physically and spiritually. In the time of Jeremiah, God warned his people of coming disasters through Prophet Jeremiah so that they might repent of their sins and return to God for the salvation. When the Babylonians invaded the land of Judah and destroyed the city of Jerusalem, God taught them for the reasons of disasters and destruction that came to them.

    Jeremiah 16:10  “When you tell these people all this and they ask you, ‘Why has the Lord decreed such a great disaster against us? What wrong have we done? What sin have we committed against the Lord our God?’ 11 then say to them, ‘It is because your ancestors forsook me,’ declares the Lord, ‘and followed other gods and served and worshiped them. They forsook me and did not keep my law. 12 But you have behaved more wickedly than your ancestors. See how all of you are following the stubbornness of your evil hearts instead of obeying me. 13 So I will throw you out of this land into a land neither you nor your ancestors have known, and there you will serve other gods day and night, for I will show you no favor.’

    The reason for the disaster was that they forsook their Savior who could give them salvation and they followed and worshiped different gods. Through this God is teaching us the greatest sin is forsaking the true Savior and following different gods who could not grant salvation. It was not just things that happened in the time of Jeremiah or the Old Testament, but the same thing happened in the time of Jesus and even in our time. Jesus who was the Savior in the Age of Son appeared to God’s people and gave them the new covenant through his flesh and blood that they might receive the salvation, the living water. He taught them, “Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life and I will raise him up at the last day.”

    But after Jesus’ ascension and the death of his 12 disciples, his people started to forsake Jesus the true Savior and they followed different gods and laws. The law of Sabbath was changed into Sunday worship, the day for the sungod. And the new covenant of the Passover was changed into the Christmas, another day for the sungod worship. These pagan teachings exist even in our time under the excuse of worshiping the true God. But what does God say about those who follow different laws and different gods? God says that they are committing sins and they would not receive salvation because they forsook the source of living water, the true Savior.

    Then what is the second sin of God’s people? It is that they dug their own cistern which cannot hold water. What does this mean? Cistern is a place where you can store the water, in other words, the source of living water. But who prepared this cistern? God should be their cistern, but they prepared their own cistern. However what is the problem with this cistern? It is a broken cistern and cannot hold water. It means it cannot be the source of living water and it cannot give salvation. But instead of depending on God, God’s people they depend on their own ways and methods for the salvation. In the time of Jeremiah, God commanded King Zedekiah to surrender to the Babylonians and go to their land until the appointed time, and then God would bring them back from the Babylonian land to the land of Canaan back again and he would restore them to their own land. But King Zedekiah made an allegiance with the king of Egypt and tried to defeat the Babylonians. He tried to save himself and his country by his own method, disobeying the command of God.

    Jeremiah 36:6   Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet: 7 “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Tell the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of me, ‘Pharaoh’s army, which has marched out to support you, will go back to its own land, to Egypt. 8 Then the Babylonians will return and attack this city; they will capture it and burn it down.’ 9 “This is what the Lord says: Do not deceive yourselves, thinking, ‘The Babylonians will surely leave us.’ They will not! 10 Even if you were to defeat the entire Babylonian army that is attacking you and only wounded men were left in their tents, they would come out and burn this city down.”

    For the salvation they should have listen to the command of God, but Zedekiah disobeyed and finally he and his sons got captured. All his sons got killed in front of his own eyes and after that his own eyes were put out by the king of Babylon. Let us think about our time. Even though–as the bible says–there are Christians like sands on the seashore, how many of them truly depend on God for salvation? In the time of disasters, God already taught us that we must receive the seal of God through the Passover, and then we will be protected from all the disasters and receive salvation. This was already given through the Passover in the time of Moses as copy and shadow. On the night of the Passover, even though all the Egyptian firstborns got killed by the disaster, but all God’s people who kept the Passover could be protected from the disaster.
     

    Exodus 12:12   “On that same night I will pass through Egypt and strike down every firstborn of both people and animals, and I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt. I am the Lord. 13 The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are, and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt.

    Just as the bible says, today we hear the news of impending disasters. There are climate change, natural disasters, wars, and plagues that can cause pandemic, and all these things can bring about total destruction for all the living things on this earth. To save themselves from these disasters people prepare their own methods such as underground cities, submarines, mountain city, space station or human colonies on moon or other planets. Rather than depending on the words of God for the salvation, they also try to dig their own cisterns which are broken and cannot hold water. Those who depend on themselves will not be able to save themselves.
     

    Amos 9:2 Though they dig down to the depths below,
    from there my hand will take them.
    Though they climb up to the heavens above,
    from there I will bring them down.
    3 Though they hide themselves on the top of Carmel,
    there I will hunt them down and seize them.
    Though they hide from my eyes at the bottom of the sea,
    there I will command the serpent to bite them.
    4 Though they are driven into exile by their enemies,
    there I will command the sword to slay them.

    This prophecy was given to Prophet Amos who lived about 750 BC. Through this prophecy God already foretold what people would do to save themselves, but he also said all the man-made things would be useless in the time of disasters. And people would not be able to save themselves with their own method. We are now living in the time of fulfillment of all the prophecies of the bible. As people of God, we must return to God and obey his words for the salvation. In our time, Christ Ahnsahnghong came to us again for the second time and he restored all the truth of the new covenant so that we may receive salvation. Forsaking God and disobeying God’s commands are considered as sins and all the sinners would be put to death according to the words of God. Therefore, now for salvation, we must return to God Ahnsahnghong who is the true Savior in our time and obey his commands.
  • Those Who Are Waiting For The Christ

    Hebrews 9:28   28 so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.

    I have already come

     This is a prophecy about Christ who is coming for the second time to this earth. He must appear a second time and bring salvation to those who are waiting for him. That is why those who are waiting for the Christ always want to know about the Christ who will come in the last days. When will he come? In what form would he come? What would be the sign of his coming? Disciples of his first coming also eagerly wanted to know about all these information about his second coming so that they would meet him to receive salvation?

    Mt 24:1   Jesus left the temple and was walking away when his disciples came up to him to call his attention to its buildings. 2 “Do you see all these things?” he asked. “Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.” 3 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”

    They wanted to know about his second coming and they asked about the things that would happen in the time of his coming so that they would know the time for his coming through the signs. To answer these questions Jesus gave a lot of teaching about the signs of his coming in the last days. Therefore, we also must know the signs he gave his disciples so that we would not miss him when he is coming. Then how would he come? In what form or way would he appear to us? The bible says, “He will appear a second time.” Through this we can get the hint of his second time. This sentence means he would appear a second time just as he appeared for the first time. Then how did Christ appear the first time? Even though he was God, he appeared to us as man in the flesh.

    We can find out the Christ coming even through the word, “Christ.” Christ means “an Anointed One.” In the time of the Old Testament three types of people could get anointed: first kings, second high priest, and last prophet. So the Anointed One means a person who gets anointed to be a king, a high priest, and a prophet. Simply it was given to teach us the Christ in Greek or Messiah in Hebrew who would appear to his people to be a king, a high priest, and a prophet. This prophecy was, as we already know, fulfilled by Jesus who appeared to God’s people as Anointed One or Christ. He appeared as man in the flesh just like one of us and spiritually got anointed through his baptism to be a king, high priest, and prophet to the Jews. (John 18:37, Hebrews 5:10, Acts 3:22) Therefore, Christ means God who is coming as man in the flesh to get anointed as Savior for his people. This is how Christ appeared for the first time.

    Then through this first coming we must understand his second coming too. The bible says he would appear a second time to bring salvation. Then how would he appear a second time? Many says that he would appear in his spiritual glory among the clouds and with a loud trumpet call with all the heavenly angel to make a judgment for all the people of the world. This is not true at all. Because Jesus himself prophecied that he would appear as man in the flesh for the second time and the purpose of his coming for the second time is not to make a judgment, but to bring salvation. It means his second coming is not for the destruction, but for eternal life. He foretold that the world would be filled with lawlessness in the last days and all the people would follow and worship the dragon (the Satan) in the last days without having the knowledge of God. In this situation, if he comes to make a judgment, who would receive salvation? Nobody.

    Luke 18:8   8 I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?

    This is not  a question, but he says that he would not be able to find faith on this earth. Then when he comes to this faithless world as judge in the last days, who would receive salvation? Through this we can see he must not appear among the cloud with full spiritual glory to make a judgment. Let us confirm one more time.

    Luke 12:49     “I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! 50 But I have a baptism to undergo, and what constraint I am under until it is completed!

     

    He said that he must be baptized again in the future. Baptism is one time ceremony to be born spiritually on this earth. But Jesus said that he must be baptized again. Then what does this mean? It means he must come as man in the flesh for the second time and he must be baptized for the second time. In short, he is teaching us that he must come again as the Anointed One or Christ in the future to be a king, high priest, and a prophet. In the Book of John he teaces the same thing.

    John 10:16   I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.

    He came as shepherd for the Jews 2000 years ago, but now he was prophesying that he must come as shepherd for the sheep outside the pen, which means Gentiles who were once not considered as people of God. He must come for the Gentiles and preach to them too, Then if Christ is coming as judge without preaching to the Gentiles, what would happen to the Gentiles? They would be destroyed, right? Therefore, he must appear for the second time as Anointed One and must preach the words of God to the people who did not know God and give them salvation. According to the bible he must come for the seocnd time as man in the flesh in secret and preach the gospel to his people to gather them together in the last days.

    In the parable of “Weeds and Wheat” Jesus said that he would send out his angels at the harvest time or the end of age and pull out all the weed to tie them into bundles and burn in the fire. And also he would gather all the wheat or his people in the heavenly barn. About his Apostle John explains in the Book of Revelation:

    Revelation 7:1   After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth to prevent any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree. 2 Then I saw another angel coming up from the east, having the seal of the living God. He called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea: 3 “Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God.” 4 Then I heard the number of those who were sealed: 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel.

    “Four winds” means disasters coming from all the four corners of the earth, which brings complete destruction for land, sea, and tree. The day when the winds are released is the Day of Judgment. But just before the Day of Judgment, God send out his angel to seal his people to give protection from the disasters so that they could receive salvation. Who would this angel be who brings “the seal of God”? Who has the authority to use the seal of God? The seal of a king can be exercised by the King himself. In the same way, the one who bring the seal of God is God himself coming down to bring  salvation. That is the Second Coming Christ “who appears to bring salvation.” According to the bible, the seal of God which gives protection for the disasters is the Passover. Therefore, the angel who brings the seal of God is Christ who brings to restore the Passover of the new covenant which was abolished by Emperor Constantine in 325 BC. According to this prophecy, the one who brings the seal of God (or salvation) is the Second Coming Christ who we should wait for. Then at our time, who restored the Passover the seal of God again for us so that we can be protected from disasters? It is Christ Ahnsahnghong. Nobody on this earth could restore the Passover because God’s prophecy can be accomplished only by God himself. No wise man or scholar can understand the words of God in the bible. Therefore, Ahnsahnghong, even though he came in humble human form from a unknown family and country, is the Christ who we have been waiting for salvation.

    All those who are waiting for the Christ who appears for the second time to bring salvation must come to Christ Ahnsahnghong and keep the Passover of the new covenant to receive the seal of God. Also we must receive God the Mother who is the reality of the new covenant, the true reality of Adam’s flesh and blood which gives us salvation.

  • [WMSCOG] David And Everlasting Covenant

    [WMSCOG] David And Everlasting Covenant

    The bible teaches about the Christ in many ways. The most prominent way is through the characters of the past God is teaching us about the Christ who is coming in the future and the one of the characters is David. The bible teaches us that we must seek David for salvation in the last days.

    Hosea 3:4   For the Israelites will live many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred stones, without ephod or household gods. 5 Afterward the Israelites will return and seek the Lord their God and David their king. They will come trembling to the Lord and to his blessings in the last days.

    This is a prophecy about the last days and thus the Israelites are not physical anymore, but spiritual.
     

    Roman 2:28    A person is not a Jew who is one only outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical. 29 No, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code.

    By Jesus coming down to this earth, the promise of God could be given even to the Gentiles, who were not once considered as people of God so that they now could be the people of God who can receive salvation. So the Jews or Israelites in the last days are the spiritual ones. And then who is the David they should seek in the last days? The Book of Hosea was written in about 750 BC and it was about 250 years after the death of David the king of Israel. Therefore, the king David in the prophecy is not about physical David, who was the second king of Israel, but about spiritual David who would come in the name of David in the last days. Then who is the spiritual David that God’s people must seek for the blessings in the last days?
     

    Revelation 22:16   “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star.”

    Who is the Root of David?
    Jesus is the spiritual David who was to come in the last days. Therefore, the spiritual Israelites must seek the Jesus who is coming second time for salvation in the last days. Without knowing the David in the last days, there is no blessings of salvation, and no salvation there would be no kingdom of heaven. That is why God’s people who are living in the last days must seek the Second Coming Christ who is coming as King David. Then how would they be able to recognize Christ coming as King David? Jesus already foretold that there would be many false prophets and false Christ in the last days when he comes for the second time.
     

    Matthew 24:23   At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. 24 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you ahead of time.

    What is the way for us to recognize the true Christ coming in the last days? In the last days, to deceive people and hinder people from recognizing the true Christ many false prophets and false Christ would appear and if we do not have the spiritual eyes to know the true Christ, we might be deceived by a false one and might be led astray. To help us know the true Christ, God already gave a sign which belongs to the Christ who was to come as spiritual King David. Then what is the sign given to David?
     

    Isaiah 55:1   “Come, all you who are thirsty,
    come to the waters;
    and you who have no money,
    come, buy and eat!
    Come, buy wine and milk
    without money and without cost.
    2 Why spend money on what is not bread,
    and your labor on what does not satisfy?
    Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good,
    and you will delight in the richest of fare.
    3 Give ear and come to me;
    listen, that you* may live.
    I will make an everlasting covenant with you,
    my faithful love promised to David.

    * or your soul (NIV 1984)
     
    Out of God’s love to David, God gave a promise to David through an everlasting covenant so that the soul could live. Therefore, the Second Coming Christ who is coming as King David in the last days must bring this everlasting covenant that gives life to the soul, that is, eternal life. This is the promise of God only given to David so that people could recognize the true David, the Second Coming Christ in the last days. Then what is this everlasting covenant that gives life to the soul? If we take a look at Jesus who also came as spiritual David 2000 years, we can know the covenant that gives life to the soul. Jesus who came David established one covenant with his people and that was the new covenant of the Passover.
     

    Luke 22:19   19 And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.” 20 In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.

    Jesus, the spiritual David gave a new covenant on the night of Passover through his flesh and blood. In the book of Isaiah God called this covenant as the everlasting covenant and it was given to his people to give life to their soul, that is, eternal life. Likewise the new covenant Jesus made with his flesh and blood has also power to give life to the soul so that the mortal man can have eternal life in heaven.
     

    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.

     
    What was the way we could eat the flesh and blood of Christ? It was the new covenant of the Passover. Then why did Jesus establish the new covenant? To give eternal life or the life for the soul. The people of this world are under the slavery of sins and death. This life on this earth is short and would come to an end at one point and nobody can live forever. Jesus came 2000 years ago as spiritual David and established the new covenant to set us free from the slavery of sins and give us salvation the true blessing we must receive to enter the kingdom of heaven. And according to the bible the same Jesus who came 2000 years ago must come again in the last days, bringing the everlasting covenant again.
     
    Then why should he come back again as spiritual David for the second time and why should he bring the new covenant or the everlasting covenant back again? It is because the new covenant Jesus established with his flesh and blood was abolished by the work of Satan. In the council of Nicaea, Roman Emperor Constantine nullified the everlasting covenant that gives life to the soul. Ever since people could not receive the promise of God, eternal life. There were many biblical scholars and religious reformers and leaders, but nobody could bring this new covenant back again to give us eternal life. It was because this promise was only given to spiritual David, Christ. Only the Christ who is coming in the last days would be able to bring back this Passover so that people can recognize the true Christ. This new covenant was given as symbol to teach us the true Christ who is coming in the last days.
     
    David's everlasting covenant
    Jesus who came as King David
     
    Even though there might be many false Christ, through the new covenant Passover we can know the true Christ. Then who restored the new covenant in our time? No scholars or no biblicist could teach us the Passover and nobody could know it despite their wisdom and knowledge. It was only Christ Ahnsahnghong who could restore the Passover along with all the festivals of God. Then who is Christ Ahnsahnghong? There is only one answer: He is the spiritual David that we must seek to receive the blessings of salvation because this everlasting covenant was God’s promise given only to David. It is only prophetical David who can restore the new covenant!! Christ Ahnsahnghong came as spiritual David and gave his flesh and blood through the Passover bread and wine and he is giving us the life for the soul, eternal life. Let us seek Christ Ahnsahnghong and the forgiveness of sins coming from him. Then he will grant us eternal life, the true blessing we must receive in the last days. And he taught us the true reality of his flesh and blood, the true reality of the new covenant, Our Mother. We should obey Mother because she is the reality of the covenant or the Word of God. She is the Word who came in the flesh in the Book of John.
     

    John 1:14   14 The Word 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.

    About our Mother who is coming in the last days and makes a dwelling among her people in the flesh, he also wrote in the Book of Revelation:
     

    Revelation 21:2   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.

    What is the Heavenly Jerusalem? Apostle Paul testifies in the Book of Galatians that the Heavenly Jerusalem is our Mother. Then what does it mean the heavenly Jerusalem comes down from heaven and put God’s dwelling among his people? It means that our Mother the reality of the Word of God would come down from heaven and make a dwelling among her people in the last days. To fulfill the prophecy our Mother came down to us to give us the covenant of God, the promise of eternal life. And the bible says those who receive the heavenly Jerusalem would be able to be called God’s people. Therefore, we must accept the new Jerusalem, our Mother.  Let us give praise and thanks to the Spirit and the Bride who give the water of life to us!
  • [WMSCOG] How To Be Born Again with Spirit

    Jesus said that those who can enter the kingdom of heaven are those who are born of the Spirit. What is the meaning of it and how can we born of the Spirit?

    John 3:5   Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. 6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.

    “Unless” means there is no other way. Therefore, to enter into the kingdom of heaven we must be born of the water and the Spirit. Then how can we born of the Spirit? This can be found in the example shown by Jesus himself? Jesus taught that the true reality of the temple was his own body because God put the Spirit of God in the body of Christ. That is why Jesus said that his body was the temple of God.

    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?” 21But the temple he had spoken of was his body.

    The temple of God is the place where the Spirit of God dwells, so if the body of Christ was the reality of temple, when did God put his Spirit in the body of Christ? It was when Jesus got baptized that God put his Spirit in Jesus.

    Luke 3:21   When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as he was praying, heaven was opened 22 and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove.

    Whatever was done by Jesus was done to give us an example so that we can follow: “I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.” (John 13:15) Jesus showed us the example of baptism to teach us that we can receive also the Spirit of God when we get baptized and through the Spirit we receive we can be born again as children of God.

    Romans 8:14   because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship.

    Those who received the Spirit of God is testified as sons of God and they can inherit the kingdom of heaven as heirs of God. That is why the very first thing we must do to enter into the kingdom of heaven is to get baptized. We can witness through the book of Acts how people eagerly wanted to get baptized and they got baptized immediately after they realized that Jesus Christ is the Savior. Then what kind of God’s plan is hidden in the baptism? How can we receive the Spirit of God through the baptism? To understand this we must first take a look at the physical temple of God.
    The temple of God is a holy place and for the Spirit of God to dwell in the temple all the things in the temple must be purified with the sacrificial blood of animals. It is the same with out body of temple. According to the bible, human beings were once angels in heaven who were cast down from heaven to this earth because of their sins. And the sins make their body of temple impure and unclean. Then what is the way we can cleanse the body of temple? Through the example of baptism Jesus was teaching that our body of temple can be purified from sins through baptism.

    Acts 2:38   Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of you sins.”

    Baptism is the ceremony through which we can receive the forgiveness of sins and through the baptism of the forgiveness of sins our body of temple is cleansed and our body can become the holy vessel for the Spirit of God. Therefore, the forgiveness of sins is the most important condition to receive the Holy Spirit. We can confirm this through the Passover regulation. The Passover is the ceremony taught by Christ which can cleanse our body of temple of its impurities and uncleanness. 2000 years ago Jesus taught the disciples the true meaning of the Passover. On the night of the Passover, when they reclined at the table, he taught his disciples:

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

    Just as the physical temple could be purified of uncleanness through the blood of animals, Jesus teaches that the spiritual temple our body can also be purified through the blood of Christ who is the reality of a sacrificial lamb. On the night of the Passover, he gave his blood so that the body of temple of his people could be purified through his blood. When they kept the Passover and their body of temple was purified, then the Spirit of God could dwell in the spiritual temple, the body of disciples.

    John 6:53   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. 56Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them.

    By eating the flesh and blood of Christ through the Passover, our body of temple is purified and Jesus said that he would remain in us. What does it that he would remain in us? It means that he would dwell in us. Then how would Christ dwell in us? He would dwell in us by putting his Spirit in our body of temple. If we look at all the festivals of God, they were celebrated with the blood of animals such as bull, lamb, goat, birds. Through the blood of animals the temple of God could be consecrated and the Spirit of God could dwell in the temple. (Hebrews 9:22) Through this God was already teaching us how we would be able to consecrate our body of temple. Our body of temple can be purified with the blood of Christ. Then how can we receive the blood of Christ? Through the festivals of God. When we keep the festivals of God, our body of temple are cleansed of all our sins and impurities and finally God put his Spirit in us. And our body can be the holy temple of God where God dwells in Spirit.
    And those who receive the Spirit of God are called sons of God who can inherit the kingdom of heaven. Even though once all the festivals of God was taken away by the work of Satan, Christ Ahnsahnghong appeared a second time according to the prophecies of the bible and he restored all the festivals of God so that we can be purified to be the temple of God. God’s true blessings are given through the seven festivals of three times: Unleavened Bread, Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Tabernacles. Many people are keeping man’s traditions such as Christmas, Easter, or Thanksgiving. But nowhere in the bible says that we can receive the Spirit of God through these things. Rather the bible says we must come to our Mother Heavenly Jerusalem to keep the festivals of God to receive the Spirit of God.

    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 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.

    Only those who go up to Jerusalem to keep the Feast of Tabernacles will be able to receive the rain. Then what is the rain they would receive? In the Book of Joel Prophet Joel says the rain is the Spirit of God whom God’s people would receive in the last days. (Joel 2:23, 28) Therefore, the only way for us to receive the Spirit of God is through the festivals of God. Through the festivals of God we can receive the blood of Christ which cleanses our body of temple from all the impurities and we can become a holy temple of God where God’s Spirit can dwell. And those who received God’s Spirit are called children of God who can inherit the kingdom of Heaven. Jesus said, “Unless you were born of the Spirit, you cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven.” Therefore, only those who come to Our Mother Heavenly Jerusalem to keep the festivals of God, can be purified with the living water and receive the Spirit of God. Let us come to Jerusalem our Mother!
  • [WMSCOG] Love Of God And Of World

    Many people talk about love and practice love and they feel happy and warm when they hear the word “love.” Love is so much precious to everybody and everybody wants to have some. But if we ask what love is, each person gives a different answer. Then what is the true love that we must learn? Since we are talking about the love of God and the bible, we must think love in the perspective of God. Many times and all through the bible, God teaches us to love.

    John 13:34   A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.

    John 15:12   My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.

    Then what is the love Jesus wanted to teach us? People says: love is helping others, providing the poor, taking care of sick, giving contributions, donating organs, etc… In the perspective of the world, all these and numerous other things can be considered as love. Then are these the love Jesus wanted to teach us? Did Jesus provide necessities to people such as food, clothes, or shelters? No. The bible teaches us these are not the true love God wanted to teach us.

    1 Corinthians 13:1   If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

     Here God is comparing the love with many things to show the supremacy of love. Love is greater than speaking tongues, the gift of prophecy, wisdom and knowledge, and also Paul says that love is greater than “contributions, donation of money and possession, self-sacrifice for the sake of others.” It means the concept of love of the people of the world is not considered as the love in the perspective of God. God clearly defines that love is different from donating money and possessions or sacrificing even his own body. These are not love in the eyes of God. Then what is the true love God wants to teach us?
     

    John 3:16   For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

    The love God wants to teach us is the love through which eternal life and salvation can be given to the people. Even though we give food, clothes, but if our action does not lead people to eternal life, it is nothing in the eyes of God. Even though we sacrifice our own life for the sake of others, but if our action does not produce eternal life in others, it is nothing in the eyes of God. Even though a person has great knowledge and know all the mysteries, but cannot save one soul, all his wisdom and knowledge are nothing. God think the true love is an action which leads people to eternal life.
     
    However a tree may look good and beautiful with strong branches and thick leaves, if it does not produce any fruit it is nothing. It is the same with all human activities. However may it look good and righteous, if they do not lead into eternal life, it is like a beautiful tree with no fruit which would be cut down in the end. Then what is the act of love we must learn from God so that we can produce the fruit of eternal life? One young man asked Jesus how to enter into the eternal life.
     

    Matthew 19:16   Now a man came up to Jesus and asked, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life?” “Why do you ask me about what is good?” Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, obey the commandments.”

    The only act of love which is truly meaningful in the eyes of God is obeying the commandments of God. The only good thing we can do to enter into eternal life is following the commands of God. That is why Jesus said to people that they must follow his command to show the true love they had toward God. He said, “If you love me, obey my commands.” In the world of sin and death, God came and taught us to show love to him and also to the peoples of the world by obeying the commands of God because the commands of God can lead us to eternal life.
     
    In this lawless world, Christ Ahnsahnghong came for the second time and teaches us to love one another just as I loved you. God gave his own life to save souls and give them eternal life and now teaches to show the same love to others. Now we must know the true laws of God which can lead us to eternal life and must obey them and teach them to people so that they may also be able to receive eternal life by obeying the commands of God. Jesus commanded us:
     
     
     

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

    For eternal life, God said that we must eat his flesh and drink his blood through the new covenant of the Passover. Without the love and sacrifice of God in the Passover, nobody can have eternal life. Now if we want to show and practice the love God gave us, we must obey the command of God by keeping the Passover. And also deliver the Passover to the people so that they can also receive eternal life by keeping the commands of God. Then we may be able to fulfill the command of God: Love one another as I have loved you. Father and Mother loved us and granted us eternal life through their love and sacrifice of the Passover. Now we must follow the love of God by leading people to eternal life through the Passover and then we can practice the true love God showed us.
  • [WMSCOG] BRONZE SNAKE AND CROSS

    The bible says that Jesus came as spiritual Moses to teach Israelites the Laws of God, just as Moses was sent to teach the Israelites the laws of God.

    Acts 3:20   20 and that he may send the Messiah, who has been appointed for you—even Jesus. 21 Heaven must receive him until the time comes for God to restore everything, as he promised long ago through his holy prophets. 22 For Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own people; you must listen to everything he tells you. 23 Anyone who does not listen to him will be completely cut off from their people.’

     

    Cross Worship.jpg
    Is a cross an object of worship?

     
    Through this we can see that Jesus came as prophet like Moses to fulfill the work of God. Just as Moses were leading God’s people out of the land of slavery, Jesus was sent by God to set his people free from the slavery of sin and death. The life and work of Moses was given to us to teach us the work of Jesus. There is a wonderful example taught by Jesus himself.
     

    John 3:14   Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, 15 that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.”

    Jesus is comparing his crucifixion to the bronze snake Moses lifted up in the desert. What kind of relationship is there between the two events? To understand this we must first look at the work of Moses and then the work of Jesus. In the desert because of the lack of food and water, people started to complain and grumble, causing the wrath of God, who sent deadly snakes to kill grumblers.
     

    Numbers 21:6       Then the Lord sent venomous snakes among them; they bit the people and many Israelites died. 7 The people came to Moses and said, “We sinned when we spoke against the Lord and against you. Pray that the Lord will take the snakes away from us.” So Moses prayed for the people.

    When people repented of their sins, God relented and gave them salvation.
     

    Numbers 21:8    The Lord said to Moses, “Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live.” 9 So Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, they lived.

    God could have done many different things to save them. He could have simply removed all the snakes from them, or he could have given different objects or ways to save them such as say, “Forgive me,” loudly, or jump three times, or stand up on your head… But rather God commanded Moses to make a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. And when a person is bitten by a snake he could look at the snake and live. Then what was it that could give them life in this story? A pole, a bronze snake, jumping, shouting, standing on your head…? No. The promise of God given to the bronze snake: “Anyone who is bitten can look at it and live.”
     
    But foolishly Israelites started to worship the bronze snake, thinking it has certain power to heal people for about 700 years until the time of King Hezekiah.
     

    2 Kings 18:3    He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, just as his father David had done. 4 He removed the high places, smashed the sacred stones and cut down the Asherah poles. He broke into pieces the bronze snake Moses had made, for up to that time the Israelites had been burning incense to it. (It was called Nehushtan.)

     
    Finally, 700 years later King Hezekiah realized that it is just an idol and broke the bronze snake into pieces calling it Nehushtan or a piece of bronze. This story of the bronze snake in the time of Moses was working as prophecy to be fulfilled by the work of Jesus. Jesus is comparing his death on the cross to the bronze snake. Moses made the bronze snake to give people life, but it was not the bronze snake itself that could give them life, rather, it was the words of God contained in the bronze snake. The bronze snake was just a tool chosen by God at that moment to give them life. But Israelites started to depend on the bronze snake for their life, rather than the words or commands of God which could truly give them life.
     

    Cross Shape
    Making a cross is fun!?

     
    It was the same with the cross. Jesus gave precious promises of God for the eternal life to his people. To fulfill the promise he must sacrifice himself.
     

    Hebrews 9:16   In the case of a will, it is necessary to prove the death of the one who made it, 17 because a will is in force only when somebody has died; it never takes effect while the one who made it is living.

    For the life of his people he made a will or covenant on the night of Passover, promising them the forgiveness of sins and eternal life and to fulfill the will the one who made the will must die. And to fulfill his promise, Jesus chose the crucifixion as tool. Here what is important for the salvation is to keep the words of God in the Passover, not the cross which was only a piece of wood used as tool to complete the promise. But what did people started to do? They started to worship the cross just as Israelites started to worship the bronze snake. As Hezekiah broke the bronze snake into pieces, we must now get rid of the cross. And to the obedience to the words of God, we must keep the Passover of the new covenant which gives us the salvation.
     
    We must be like King Hezekiah who broke into pieces the bronze snake, which was pleasing in the eyes of God. How much God would feel pleased when we get rid of cross from us which is considered as detestable things in the eyes of God. These are the true teachings of Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother.
  • [WMSCOG] GOD’S PROMISE IN THE NEW COVENANT

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

    Jeremiah 31:31-34

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

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

    Then who fulfilled this prophecy?

    Luke 22:19   And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.”

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

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

  • [WMSCOG] WHO ARE THE LIVING?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  • God the Mother, The Reality Of The New Covenant

    God said that he would make a new covenant in the book of Jeremiah 31 and Jesus came down to this earth and established the new covenant through the Passover. Then why did God decide to give another covenant over the old covenant. About the reason Paul explains like this:
     
    Hebrews 8:7   For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another.
     
    Paul says that the reason God made another covenant or the new covenant was the first covenant or the old covenant was not good enough for the salvation. It had something wrong in it. Its ministry for the forgiveness of sins with animal blood by the Order of Aaron could not bring the perfect salvation, and because of that the ministry was changed into the Order of Melchizedek by Jesus through his own blood, not with the blood of animals. Because of this change in ministry, the law and all the regulation has changed too from the Law of Moses to the Law of Christ.
     
    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.
     
    Therefore, the new covenant is the perfection of the Law of God to bring complete salvation to people. For this reason to receive salvation we must know and follow the new covenant. Then what is the new covenant?
     

    God the Mother the Reality of new covenant
    Heavenly Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God. Would it be a big city like this?

     Galatians 4:21    Tell me, you who want to be under the law, are you not aware of what the law says? 22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the free woman. 23 His son by the slave woman was born according to the flesh, but his son by the free woman was born as the result of a divine promise. 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.
     
    Through Abraham’s two wives Paul explains the two covenants of God: the old covenant and the new covenant. Let us take a look at this table.
     
    The slave woman                                The free woman
    Hagar                                                     Sarah
    The Old Covenant                               The New Covenant
    Mt. Sinai                                                 Mt. Zion
    The Earthly Jerusalem                      The Heavenly Jerusalem
     
    After explaining the two covenants, He continues to explain the reality of the new covenant. The reality of the old covenant was the city of Jerusalem and the earthly Temple built in it. But the reality of the new covenant is the heavenly Jerusalem and the Temple. Then what is this heavenly Jerusalem Temple? Jesus teaches us that his body is the true reality of the temple. He said to the Jews, “Destroy this temple and I will raise it up in three days.” The temple means his body where the Spirit of God dwells. Through this God is teaching us the reality of the Temple, Christ who came down to this earth to us.
     
    Then what is the reality of the Heavenly Jerusalem? Paul says, “She is our Mother” in heaven. Our Father in heaven came as the reality of the temple 2000 years ago, and in the same way our Mother in heaven will come down as the reality of the temple in the last days. About coming of heavenly Jerusalem our Mother, John describes in his vision in the book of Revelation 21. In his vision he saw the Heavenly Jerusalem our Mother coming down out of heaven from God as the reality of the temple to give us the water of life (Rev 22:17). The true temple is the place where the Spirit of God dwells. Wherever the Spirit of God dwells is the temple. In that sense, John is saying that our Mother would come down as man in the flesh in the last days.
     
    To fulfill the prophecies of the bible the true reality of temple our Mother came down to this earth to give us life. Let us give glory to God the Father and Mother. This is the true teaching of Christ Ahnsahnghong, the true Savior in the Age of the Holy Spirit and the Heavenly Mother. 
  • [WMSCOG] God And Eternal Life

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

     He came as mediator of the new covenant and gave us the forgiveness of sins and eternal life. That is why it was necessary for him to come down as man in the flesh. Christ is the true power and glory of God, who God prepared for the perfect salvation for all human beings so that they all can receive eternal life. Even though Christ is the last and ultimate fruition God planned for the salvation, when he appeared as man, people rejected him calling him a man, not God and they lost their chance for salvation.
     
    According to the bible he will appear for the second time as man in the flesh. At that time only those who accept him can have eternal life. If it was possible for us to receive eternal life by our own plan, it would not have been necessary for God to come as man. Without his coming as man, nobody could be saved and that is why he comes as man. Now let us know him. Truly let us press on to know him so that we would not miss him when he appears.
     
    Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heaven Mother Jerusalem came as man in the flesh for the salvation of the soul, eternal life. They are the last plan of God he prepared for us. Let us accept them and acknowledge them, and then they will give us eternal life in heaven.
     
    Revelation 22:17   The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.
     
    Thanks to Father and Mother for coming down to this sinful world to the ignorant and stiff-necked people to give us forgiveness and eternal life. Let all the peoples of the world accept you and give glory to you, saying “Hosanna, the Savior has come again!”
