    [WMSCOG] The End Of Creation Work: A People Not Yet Created

    The Creation Work Of God

    The End Of Creation Work–The bible testifies about the six-day creation in the Book of Genesis. God created all the things and took a rest on the seventh day.

    Genesis 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array. 2 By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. 3 Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.

    The Completion Of Creation Work

    The End Of Creation Work–Then truly did God finished all the creation work on the sixth day and there is nothing to do more for the creation work? About the creation work of God, Jesus testifies like this:

    John 5:16 So, because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jewish leaders began to persecute him. 17 In his defense Jesus said to them, “My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am working.”

    The religious leaders of the time disapproved of Jesus healing people on the Sabbath or the seventh day. The day was a day rest given by God to commemorate the creation work of God. About their criticism, Jesus said that God was still working for the creation and the work of creation had not finished yet.

    This words of Jesus sounds contradictory to the words of God in Genesis. Then what is the meaning of Genesis? According to the bible, the Book of Genesis was given as the outline of the general plan of God for his creation work which would come to happen to fulfill as it is recorded in Genesis.

    Isaiah 46:10 I make known the end (the completion of creation work) from the beginning (the start of creation work), from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.’

    Through the Book of Genesis, God was showing what was to be done at the end.

    Six-Day Creation, Six-Thousand Years Of Salvation Work

    The End Of Creation Work–Then what is God’s plan written out in the Book of Genesis?

    2 Peter 3:8 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.

    According to the bible, one day is like one thousand years in the eyes of God. Therefore, prophetically speaking, the six-day creation represents the six-thousand years of God’s salvation work. The Book of Genesis was the starting point of the creation work. And from that moment God was revealing what would happen all throughout the six thousand years of his creation work.

    In this sense, since the end has not come yet, we can assume that God is still working for the creation. And his work for his creation is not completed yet.

    The End Of  Creation Work

    The End Of Creation Work–Then how would this creation work end? At the end of the six-thousand-year creation work, what would happen and who would be able to be made complete to inherit the kingdom of heaven?

    Psalm 102:18 Let this be written for a future generation, that a people not yet created may praise the Lord: 19 “The Lord looked down from his sanctuary on high, from heaven he viewed the earth, 20 to hear the groans of the prisoners and release those condemned to death.”

    David through the Holy Spirit wrote this book. He says this psalm was written for “a future generation,” or “a people not yet created.” Through this we can be sure that the work of God’s creation has not finished yet. There are still people who are under the slavery of sin and death. However, God would make them to be a new creation in order that they would receive salvation through the forgiveness of sins and eternal life.

    End of Creation Work: Heavenly Jerusalem God the Mother
    Glory of Zion and Glory of Jerusalem

    Restoration of Zion

    The End Of Creation Work–Then when would this happen? If we look at the previous verse, we can know the timeframe when this would happen.

    Psalm 102:12 But you, LORD, sit enthroned forever; your renown endures through all generations. 13 You will arise and have compassion on Zion, for it is time to show favor to her; the appointed time has come. 4 For her stones are dear to your servants; her very dust moves them to pity. 15 The nations will fear the name of the LORD, all the kings of the earth will revere your glory. 16 For the LORD will rebuild Zion and appear in his glory. 17 He will respond to the prayer of the destitute; he will not despise their plea.

    When the appointed time comes, God would have compassion to Zion. And He would show favor to Zion by rebuilding it. Even though once Zion was in ruin covered with dust, God would restore the Zion and reveal his glory or salvation to his people in Zion. He would listen to their prayer and respond to their plea. And they would be created new by receiving forgiveness and salvation.

    Second Coming Christ Restoring Zion

    The End Of Creation Work–Spiritually, Zion is the city of God’s festivals. (Isa 33:20) Jesus Christ established prophetical Zion by establishing the new covenant. He kept all the festivals of God in the new way according to the Law of Christ. Through this new covenant God’s people could receive forgiveness (Mt 26:26-27) and salvation (Jn 6:53-54).

    After the ascension of Jesus and death of disciples, however, the new covenant come to be changed by the work of Satan. The Sabbath was abolished in 321 AD and the Passover 325AD. All the truth of the new covenant had disappeared gradually one by one. And Zion, the city of festivals was neglected and deserted by people.

    But the bible says that God would “rebuild” Zion again by restoring the festivals of God. And this is the appointed time of God when God prepared for “a people not yet created”. By restoring the festivals of God, God would rebuild Zion and show his glory by giving salvation to his people.

    Christ Ahnsahnghong Opening Seven Seals

    The End Of Creation Work–Even though nobody could open the seven seals, finally Christ Ahnsahnghong came as the Root of David and reveal all the secrets of the bible. (Rev 5:1-5) He restored all the festivals of God and rebuilt the broken altar of Zion.

    He let us know the new name of Christ and also God the Mother who is the true source of living water in our time. As is prophesied in the Book of Micah, now brothers and sisters from all around the world are gathering to Zion to keep the festivals of God.

    Micah 4:1 In the last days the mountain of the Lord’s temple will be established as the highest of the mountains; it will be exalted above the hills, and peoples will stream to it. 2 Many nations will come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the temple of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths.” The law will go out from Zion, the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

    They are coming to Zion to learn the laws of new covenant and listen to the words of God coming from Jerusalem Mother. We should give eternal thanks to God giving us salvation by restoring the festivals and rebuilding Zion. Now is the time for the completion of the creation work of God. Whoever wants to be made into a new creation, please come to Zion, to the World Mission Society Church Of God.

  • [WMSCOG] The Way to Know God, Keeping Festivals of God

    [WMSCOG] The Way to Know God, Keeping Festivals of God

    Hosea 6:3  Let us acknowledge the Lord, let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that waters the earth.

    Hosea says that we must have the knowledge of God and we must make every effort to have knowledge of God. When we know the time of God’s coming or his appearance, we can meet him and receive blessings from him, even the eternal life. Luckily, God comes at his appointed time just as the rise of the sun, or the coming of the spring and winter rain which comes at its appointed time. The bible teaches God is coming at his appointed time. Jesus’ coming was also a part of God’s appointed time, which was done according to the plan of God.

    Therefore, we must have knowledge of God’s appointed time so that we can meet God and receive salvation. Then what are God’s appointed time? God gave his appointed times according to days and seasons. Let us see when God’s appointed times are and have knowledge of God.

    First, there is a weekly appointed time of God we must keep every week, which is called Sabbath.

    Leviticus 23:1  The Lord said to Moses, 2 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘These are my appointed festivals, the appointed festivals of the Lord, which you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies. “‘There are six days when you may work, but the seventh day is a day of sabbath rest, a day of sacred assembly. You are not to do any work; wherever you live, it is a sabbath to the Lord.

    The appointed day of Sabbath is Saturday, not Sunday according to the present calendar. This is the day God gave us so that we can be blessed by God.

    Exodus 31:12   Then the Lord said to Moses, 13 “Say to the Israelites, ‘You must observe my Sabbaths. This will be a sign between me and you for the generations to come, so you may know that I am the Lord, who makes you holy.

    Through the Sabbath, we can have knowledge on God and be made holy by receiving blessings from God. Without keeping the Sabbath, we cannot have knowledge of God or receive blessings from God. And also there are seven annual festivals of God grouped into 3 times, which are called seven feasts of three times.

    Leviticus 23:4   “‘These are the Lord’s appointed festivals, the sacred assemblies you are to proclaim at their appointed times: 5 The Lord’s Passover begins at twilight on the fourteenth day of the first month. 6 On the fifteenth day of that month the Lord’s Festival of Unleavened Bread begins; for seven days you must eat bread made without yeast. 7 On the first day hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work. 8 For seven days present a food offering to the Lord. And on the seventh day hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work.’”

    The very first annual festival of God is the Passover; with the Passover the yearly festivals of God begins, which includes the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Firstfruits or the Day of Resurrection, the Feast of Weeks or the Day of Pentecost, the Feast of Trumpets, the Day of Atonement, and finally the last festival of God the Feast of Tabernacles through which the yearly festivals of God end.

    Did you know that there is a festival of God kept by blowing the trumpets? Do you then that we must also keep this festival according to the new covenant?

    God gave us all these festivals through the Law of Moses and made complete through the Law of Christ. Even though we don’t have to keep these festivals by the sacrifice of animals according to the old covenant, but still we must keep these festivals according to the regulations of the new covenant which was established by the sacrifice of Father and Mother.

    By keeping the festivals of God we can receive the blessings of God promised through those festivals. Even though once the festivals of God was abolished by the work of devil during the dark age, and Satan changed all the festivals of God to the manmade festivals such as Christmas, Halloween, Easter, Thanksgiving, etc… But according to the prophecies of the bible it was restored by the second coming Christ Ahnsahnghong. Through the grace of God Elohim, Our Father Ahnsahnghong and Our Mother New Jerusalem, the appointed times of God are allowed again to God’s people so that they can meet God and receive abundant blessings from God. Let us keep the festival of God at its appointed time at God’s appointed place Zion.

    Isaiah 33:20  Look on Zion, the city of our festivals;
    your eyes will see Jerusalem,
    a peaceful abode, a tent that will not be moved;
    its stakes will never be pulled up,
    nor any of its ropes broken.

    21
    There the Lord will be our Mighty One.
    It will be like a place of broad rivers and streams.
    No galley with oars will ride them,
    no mighty ship will sail them.

    22
    For the Lord is our judge,
    the Lord is our lawgiver,
    the Lord is our king;
    it is he who will save us.

    Let us give praise to God Ahnsahnghong for restoring us the festivals of God and keeps the festivals of God with thankful mind!!
