  • The Secret of the Seven Thunders and The Root of David

    The Secret of the Seven Thunders and The Root of David

    Hearing the Voice of God

    As we can see in many places in the bible, Apostle John had ability to understand the voice of God. Ordinary people received the voice of God as undiscernible sound of thunders. However, John had the ear for the voice of God and could understand the meaning of the voice of God.

    John 12:28 Father, glorify your name!” Then a voice came from heaven, “I have glorified it, and will glorify it again.” 29 The crowd that was there and heard it said it had thundered; others said an angel had spoken to him.

    Unlike the people around him who understood the voice of God as thunders, John clearly heard what God had said and wrote, “I have glorified it, and will glorify it again”.

    Apostle John receives the words of God in a vision and write them down in the Book of Revelation.

    The Bible Sealed Up

    In the Book of Revelation, John heard the voice of God again and tried to write down what he heard. But this time God commanded him to seal up what he heard.

    Revelation 10:3 When he (God) shouted, the voices of the seven thunders spoke. 4 And when the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven say, “Seal up what the seven thunders have said and do not write it down.”

    Even though John heard what God had said and was about to write them, God told him not to write them down. And because of this, the bible teaches that the words of God will have been sealed up.

    Revelation 5:1 Then I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne a scroll with writing on both sides and sealed with seven seals. 2 And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?” 3 But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or even look inside it. 4 I wept and wept because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside.

    When the book of God or the bible will be sealed up in the last days, there would be no one who can open the seven seals of the bible, which means there would be nobody who can understand the words of God in the bible. (Isaiah 29:11)

    Unsealing what the seven thunders had said

    Unsealing the Bible

    Because of this many people today argue that it is presumptuous to try to know what God has sealed up. And it is natural for us not to know the meaning of the Revelation or the bible in general. This humble attitude seems to be proper and suitable to the people of God who are supposed to have limited ability unlike God. For this reason, people do not try to understand the meaning of the bible with the excuse that you can cover up your ignorance through the faith in God.

    If you have faith in God, any ambiguity or gap in the bible does not matter to you. Since you have faith in God, you will be saved whether or not you know the meaning of the words of God in the bible. Is this true?

    2000 years ago in the time of Jesus the Jews had the same attitude. They believed that they had faith in God. And through their faith in God they could be saved whether or not they knew the meaning of the words of the bible. But they could not. They did not know who Jesus was. Even through Jesus was their God they had believed since the time of Abraham, they did not receive him since He came as man in the flesh just like them since they did not know the words of prophecy in the bible.

    Through the story of the Jews, there is one thing that we should know. That is, It is essential to have the knowledge of the words of God in the bible to receive salvation and to have firm faith. Knowledge of the bible gives us the faith in God. Without knowing the bible, we cannot know God and we cannot receive salvation.

    The Root of David

    When God commanded John to seal up what the seven thunders had said, did God intend to seal up the message forever? No, definitely not. When we write a letter, we usually seal up the message in an envelope. However, that does not mean that the message would be sealed up forever. When the appointed recipient receives the letter, he can open the seal and read the message in it.

    The same is the true to the sealed-up message of God. The message was sealed up until the appointed time of God. When the time comes, the appointed person will unseal the message of God in the seven thunders. The bible teaches the sealed-up message will be unsealed in the last day.

    Revelation 10:7 But in the days when the seventh angel is about to sound his trumpet, the mystery of God (or the sealed-up message of God) will be accomplished, just as he announced to his servants the prophets.

    Then who would unseal what the seven thunders said? The bible says that the secret will be revealed when the appointed time comes. (Revelation 22:10) Then who is the recipient who can open the message?

    Revelation 5:5 Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.

    The Root of David
    Who is the Root of David?

    Second Coming Christ Opening the Seven Seals

    The bible says that it is only the Root of David who can open the seven seals of the bible. And the Root of David is the Christ who was to come in the last days, that is, the Second Coming Christ.

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

    Then what does this mean? It means that we have to know who the Second Coming Christ is. To know who the Second Coming Christ is, we have to know the meaning of the bible and we should have knowledge of the bible. We cannot simply ignore what we do not know in the bible. Whatever is written in the bible was given to us as message to know God and receive salvation. Therefore, we have the full knowledge of the bible.

    Today what we have to do is to know who the Root of David is through the prophecies of the bible. I hope everybody to come to have salvation by have the knowledge of the word of God in the bible.

    2 Timothy 3:14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, 15 and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

    We have to make efforts to know the meaning in the Scriptures and should have wisdom for salvation. Through the wisdom we get by studying the words of God in the bible, we can have faith in God, not vice versa. The knowledge gives us firm faith, not the other way round. Therefore, we must make every effort to know the words of God in the bible. Then we can come to know who the Root of David is and receive salvation.

  • The Reason Christ Must Come in the Flesh

    The Reason Christ Must Come in the Flesh

    2000 years ago, God has come down to this earth in the flesh. Even though the God they worship came, the Israel people mocked him, ridiculed him and killed him on the cross in the end. Then why did God have to appear in the flesh? He could have appeared with all the spiritual glory and power and with thousands upon thousands of angels. He could have destroyed immediately who disobeyed his words and put them into the eternal agony of hell.

    However, He did not do that. He appeared in the form of man in the flesh. And He walked a thorny path, going through many sufferings and hardships. And finally He sacrificed himself on the cross among the people who mocked him, saying, “If you are the son of God, then come down from the cross and save yourself.” And others said, “He saved others, but he cannot save himself.” Even though people mocked him like this, he was silent and did not open his mouth. He endured all the humiliations and sufferings.

    Why did he have to come? Why did he have to go through all the sufferings? Why did he not say anything in his defense?

    Sin and Death

    The bible teaches that everyone on this earth is a sinner who committed sin in heaven and was sentenced to a death penalty because of their sin.

    Romans 5:12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned—

    The bible says we are all destined to die because of our sins and there is no exception for this. Even though we are sinners who disobeyed God, however, God still loved his people and wanted to save them.

    The only way for them to be saved is to pay the debt for the sin. And the only way to make the payment for the sin is to sacrifice their life. If the sinners had to pay the debt themselves, they had to give up their life because the wage of sin is death. If they had to die for their sin, what would the salvation mean to them? It is meaningless to them because they had already died because of their sin.

    In this deadlock situation the only way for them to receive the forgiveness for their sins and salvation is that they must have someone who would die in their stead for the sins they have committed. In the Old Testament this was done with animal sacrifices. When God’s people committed sins, they could receive redemption by shedding the blood of animals as ransom for their sins.

    Forgiveness through the Sacrifice of Christ

    The problem was that they could not completely wash away their sins through the animal sacrifice.

    Hebrews 9:9 This is an illustration for the present time, indicating that the gifts and sacrifices being offered were not able to clear the conscience of the worshiper.

    For this reason, to give the complete forgiveness of sins and salvation, the bible teaches that Christ would come and take up our sins and sacrifice himself as lamb. In this way, the sins of people will be taken away completely and they can receive forgiveness and salvation.

    Hebrews 9:12 He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but he entered the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood, thus obtaining eternal redemption.

    To give the forgiveness of sins to his people, Christ must come down to this earth in the flesh and sacrifice himself as lamb to take away the sins of his 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!

    I 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.

    2000 years ago, Christ has come as lamb and by sacrificing himself on the cross he could open the way for the forgiveness of sins and salvation to his people.

    Jesus sacrificed himself as the Passover lamb.

    Second Coming Christ Coming in the Flesh

    Like this people who have no ability to take up their sins and make the right payment for the sins must seek Christ who can take up their sins and give them salvation. 2000 years ago, those who received Jesus Christ could receive forgiveness and salvation.

    In our time too the bible teaches us the Christ must come back again in the flesh. It is because the truth of life the Passover new covenant Jesus Christ established through his blood got abolished by the work of Satan. The way for the forgiveness and salvation has disappeared. And in the last days the people of God are in the agony of sins and death again without any hope for salvation.

    In this situation, to restore the law of life Passover Christ must come back in the flesh again so that his chosen people could receive forgiveness for their sins. For this reason, Christ Ahnsahnghong has appeared to us and restored the Passover. He opened the way for the salvation again. And furthermore he let us know the reality of the new covenant Heavenly Mother New Jerusalem, who is the one that gives life and salvation to the children of God.

    Now let us understand why God should come in the flesh and receive Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother who came in the flesh only for the salvation of the heavenly children.

  • Interpretation of the Bible: How or Who?

    Interpretation of the Bible: How or Who?

    If we look around us today, there are so many different churches and different doctrines. Each church interprets the bible in their own way and those interpretations are different from church to church. What is worse is that each member-even in the same church-has a different understanding of the bible according to their own interpretation.

    Christ said that we have to know the truth to be saved. However, today the concept of the truth is decentralized and deconstructed and people acts as if they were happy with many different understandings of the bible. Even people in the academic world encourage the environment of the diversities in understanding and interpretation.

    Once Jeremiah lamented of idolatries of the Israelites each of whom followed different idols according to their own understanding of God and the bible.

    Jeremiah 2:28 Where then are the gods you made for yourselves? Let them come if they can save you when you are in trouble! For you, Judah, have as many gods as you have towns.

    This can be said to our situation too where each person and each church and each community have their own interpretation of the bible and each of them have their own God and Christ according to their understanding of the bible. In the realm of humanities as scholastic field, this might be recommendable and it cannot cause that serious problems. However, this can cause a lot of confusion and hinder the understanding of the truth the bible wants to show us.

    The Essence of the Bible

    The most essential teaching of the bible is that there is the God in the spiritual world and God wants to teach us the truth that can give us salvation. The concept of the truth is most important in reading the bible.

    John 8:31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

    Jesus Christ teaches us that the Truth can set us free from sin and death. Therefore, in reading the bible, what we have to care about most is “finding the truth”. Then, among so many interpretations of the bible, how can we find the truth?

    Not How, But Who

    To find the truth what we have to remember is the way we can find the truth. Many people think that they can know the truth if they know how to interpret the bible. For this reason, they have tried to find the right way to interpret the bible. Some people used a logical way of thinking to interpret the bible. Some people used an allegorical method, or story-telling, historical fact, numerical analysis, etc.

    With these methods, they could produce plausible interpretations of what they read, which seems to make sense in certain aspects. But none of them could find “the voice of the seven thunders,” or the perfect words of God (the truth). Each interpretation had its own limits in so much as that they had their own merits.

    Then why could they not find the truth? Were they lacking in wisdom, knowledge, acuity in thinking, or logical power? All these things might have had some impact in the failure of finding the truth. But what is more important is the more fundamental matter in the interpretation of the bible. That is, the correct interpretation of the bible does not depend on the methods of the interpretation, but the person who interprets the bible.

    Interpretation of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil

    The interpretation of the bible.
    God said, “Do not eat”, and the Serpent said, “You can eat.” Then how can we know the truth in this situation?

    Let me give you one example. In the Garden of Eden, there was a tree, called “The Tree of the knowledge of good and evil”. For this tree, two different interpretations were given to Adam and Eve. One was the truth that could give them life, but the other was falsehood which could mislead them and destroy them. The one interpretation was given like this:

    Genesis 2:16 And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; 17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.

    And the other interpretation of the tree was written in this way:

    Genesis 3:4 “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. 5 “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

    The Bible Truth Lies in the Interpreter

    The first interpretation of the tree was from God who planted the tree in the garden and his message was very clear and simple. However, the second interpretation was from the serpent or Satan. And the interpretation is completely opposite of the first interpretation with more rhetorical aspects in it to make his message more plausible. And since the second interpretation was more “pleasing” to the ear and seems to be more “desirable”, they followed the second interpretation only to be destined to die.

    Then what made the first interpretation true and the second one false? It did not depend on the manner and figures of the speech; nor did it in knowledge, wisdom, logical acuity, etc. The truth lay on the person who made the comment. The comment of God was the truth and the comment of the serpent was false. Therefore, in finding the truth what we have to do is to find the right person who has the authority to interpret the bible.

    Sealing of the Bible

    The bible prophesies that the words of God in the bible would be sealed up and there would be no one who can interpret the bible.

    Revelation 5:1 Then I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne a scroll with writing on both sides and sealed with seven seals. 2 And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?” 3 But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or even look inside it. 4 I wept and wept because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside. 5 Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”

    According to the first verse above, the bible says that the book of God would be sealed with seven seals. “Seven” in the bible means “perfection” or “completion”. In this sense, we can know the bible is completely sealed up in the last days. The truth Jesus taught in his first coming came to be hidden and sealed completely and no one would be able to know the meaning of the bible. The bible says no one—angels above, men on the earth—can understand the bible and no one can give true interpretation of the bible. No human being with his knowledge or wisdom can open the bible; nor can they see the message in it.

    The Root of David

    Since this is what would happen in the last days, it is natural to say that we cannot interpret the bible through our wisdom or knowledge. If then, how come there are so many people who says that they can interpret the bible? According to the bible, however, there is one who can open the seals of the bible and see what is written in the bible: the Root of David. Therefore, to find the truth in the last days, we have to know who the Root of David is and meet him to receive his teaching.

    Except for the interpretation of the Root of David, all other interpretations—however they might look logical, sensible, plausible—are just false ones which have nothing to do with the truth. As I said before, the manner of interpretation does not matter. What matters is the one who has authority to interpret the bible, in this case, the Root of David. Without knowing and receiving the Root of David, we would never be able to find the truth.

    Conclusion

    Today, there are so many people who interpret the bible with knowledge and wisdom. They put their whole life to seek the truth in the bible. What they don’t realize is that they are following the wrong direction out of ignorance and misunderstanding of the prophecies of the bible. The only way to know the truth in the bible is through the Root of David who would appear as legitimate interpreter of the bible in the last days. Therefore, the question we should ask to find the truth is “Who is the Root of the David?” It is not “How should we interpret the bible?” Then who is the Root of David?

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

    According to the bible, the Root of David is the second coming Christ who would come in the last days. It means Christ himself is the only one who has authority to open the seals and give the correct interpretation of the bible. When someone says that he can interpret the bible, we should ask him first, “Are you the Root of David?” And we have to have spiritual eyes to distinguish the truth from the falsehood.

    Christ Ahnsahnghong the Root of David

    Christ Ahnsahnghong came as the Root of David and opened the seven seals of the bible. To find more about the prophecies of the Root of David, please visit the links below. And you will come to understand that Christ Ahnsahnghong is the Root of David the bible testifies about.

    I hope you would meet the Root of David and find the truth that gives life for your soul.

  • [WMSCOG] Christ Coming With Hidden Manna

    Christ gave all the information of his coming so that we would correctly recognize the one who is to come and receive salvation. Through the prophecies of the bible he let us know how, when, and where he would come. And also he let us know the true sign of Christ so that we can be sure who the true Christ is even though he would appear as ordinary man in the flesh as he appeared 2000 years ago. However, the disciples could correctly recognize him through the sign he brought, the Passover. In the same way, the Second Coming Christ would bring “the hidden manna” as his sign. Then what is the hidden manna?

    Undercover Prosecutor In Chosun Dynasty

    In the Korean history when people’s complaint reached the king, the king would sent his messenger to the place to inspect the governor of the town. And the messenger would enter into the town in the appearance of beggar or passerby in worn and patched clothes to hide his identity. If the rumor was true and people are mistreated and exploited by the governor, the messenger was given authority to depose the corrupt official. At that time, one undeniable sign was given to him by the king so that everyone could recognize the true identity of the messenger despite his unlikely outward appearance: that is, Ma-Pae, which allowed him to mobilize soldiers and people to punish the corrupt governor.

     This medallion was the sure sign of King’s messenger; therefore, when people see the medallion, they must listen to the person who carried it. However poor or pathetic may a person look, he must be obeyed as soon as he showed this medallion because he was the one who was sent by the king.

    The Sign of the Second Coming Christ

    Then in the same way, the bible says that when Christ is coming for the second time in the last days, he is to bring a sure sign that people can easily recognize him no matter what his appearance look like. Whether he is tall or short, rich or poor, handsome or not, all these things do not matter. What is important is the sure sign he is showing to reveal his identity. Then what is the sign of the Second Coming Christ so that we can recognize him? Without knowing the sign we might miss him when he comes and lost our chance for the salvation. Therefore, let us see one prophecy of his coming to find out the sign he is bringing to let us know his true identity.

    Revelation 2:17   Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who is victorious, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give that person a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to the one who receives it.

    What is the stone with a new name? According to the bible, Christ is called stone because he would appear as ordinary man (stone) who are so common like stones and cannot be recognized with outward appearance. (1 Peter 2:4) Just like one stone is not different from another, outwardly Christ would not be different from any of us. So the meaning of this prophecy is Christ who is coming as man in the flesh with a new name.

    So according to this prophecy there is no way for us to recognize the second coming Christ because he would not have any physical signs in his appearance to reveal his divinity or we cannot know him even through his name Jesus because he is not coming with the name Jesus anymore. Rather, he is coming with a completely different name, hence the new name. In this situation, how can we know who the Christ is and accept him for the salvation. For that purpose, he brings one sign, that is, “Hidden Manna” as sure sign so that we may distinguish Christ from the ordinary men and also from many false christs and prophets.

    Manna, the Bread from Heaven

    Then what is “hidden manna”? To understand this first we should know what manna is and then think about the meaning “hidden.” Then what is manna? Originally, manna was the bread from heaven given to the Israelites while they were travelling in the desert for 40 years after they came out of Egypt. The bread was given as sign of salvation so that people of Israel could provide themselves in the desert and survive.

     Exodus 16:4   Then the Lord said to Moses, “I will rain down bread from heaven for you. The people are to go out each day and gather enough for that day. In this way I will test them and see whether they will follow my instructions.

    When people of Israel complained for the lack of food or water, God gave them bread from heaven so that they could eat and live in the desert. And people called this bread “manna.”

    Exodus 16: 31   The people of Israel called the bread manna. It was white like coriander seed and tasted like wafers made with honey. 32 Moses said, “This is what the Lord has commanded: ‘Take an omer of manna and keep it for the generations to come, so they can see the bread I gave you to eat in the wilderness when I brought you out of Egypt.

    This was the origin of manna in the bible. Then in the last days will God rain down bread from heaven so that we can support ourselves for our physical life? Probably not.

    True Bread From Heaven

    Then what is the true manna? Let us find out through the teachings of Jesus. To the Israelites of the time who was asking for the sign of Christ by giving them bread from heaven, Jesus teaches them the true manna that gives life for the soul (eternal life).

    John 6:30   So they asked him, “What sign then will you give that we may see it and believe you? What will you do? 31 Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written: ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’” 32 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”

    The Israelites were demanding a sign to prove that he is the Christ, God who came as man in the flesh to give them salvation. And they told Jesus to give them bread from heaven as sign just like what God had done in the time of Moses to save his people. To the people Jesus taught the true bread of God which gives eternal life to the people.

     John 6:34   “Sir,” they said, “always give us this bread.” 35 Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.

    To the people who asked bread from heaven which could sustain their physical life, Jesus taught the true bread of God which can sustain the spiritual life by giving them eternal life. And he said that he was the bread from heaven, that is, he is spiritual manna.

     John 6:48   I am the bread of life. 49 Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died. 50 But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which anyone may eat and not die. 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”

    He taught them he was the spiritual manna from heaven that could give eternal life to them.

     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.

    He taught them how to eat the spiritual manna to receive eternal life: you must eat my flesh and drink my blood. In other words, his flesh and blood was the spiritual manna that gives salvation to people.

    Hidden Manna
    The Hidden Manna, the Passover of the New Covenant

     Passover, the Spiritual Manna

    Then how can we eat his flesh and blood, the true manna? It is through the Passover. On the night of the Passover, Jesus took bread and wine which represents his flesh and blood and gave the blessings of forgiveness of sins and eternal life.

     Matthew 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.

    Through these teachings Jesus was teaching people that the true manna is Christ himself and the way we can eat the manna is to eat the bread and wine of the Passover which symbolize his flesh and blood. Therefore, the bread from heaven or manna is the Passover that gives us the forgiveness of sins and eternal life. Just as God gave manna to the physical Israelites to sustain them their physical life in the desert, Christ (God) gave us the spiritual manna to the spiritual Israel people so that we can sustain our spiritual life in the spiritual desert of faith. 2000 years ago, Jesus himself taught this precious lesson that he is the bread from heaven which gives eternal life, but people deserted him and could not eat the true manna that could give them salvation. Only the twelve disciples took part in the Passover and ate the spiritual manna.

    John 6:66   From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him. 67 “You do not want to leave too, do you?” Jesus asked the Twelve. 68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. 69 We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God.”

    Hidden Manna

    After receiving the spiritual manna from the Christ, the disciples of Jesus kept this Passover until 325 AD. However, in 325 in the council of Nicaea, Emperor Constantine abolished the Passover and since then the manna became hidden from the sight of man and nobody could eat the bread from heaven to receive the eternal life. But in the Book of Revelation, Christ already prophesied that he would come bringing the hidden manna back again. Therefore, the undeniable sign of Christ is the manna, the Passover of the new covenant which is going to be restored in the last days. Only through this Passover we can know the Christ who is appearing as stone without any outward distinguishable characteristics.

    To fulfill this prophecy, Christ Ahnsahnghong restored the Passover of the new covenant which was abolished for about 1600 years since 325 AD. Finally, in our time he restored the hidden manna to give us eternal life through his flesh and blood. Then who is Christ Ahnsahnghong? Even though he came as stone by hiding his glory, through this sure sign of Christ we should know and recognize him as the true Christ who is coming with a new name. Even though he came from the small land of Korea, even though he worked as stone mason breaking stones, even though there was no beauty or majesty in his outward appearance, even though he lived an ordinary life without any significant title or authority, we must be able to see his divinity through the sign, “hidden manna” which only the Christ could bring to us according to the prophecy.

     God Coming as Man

    People during the Chosun Dynasty in Korea could know the Messenger from King through the medallion with horses on it and they did need to have any more signs. In the same way, God gave the sure sign of Christ through which we can recognize the true Second Coming Christ. We can finally eat the bread from heaven that gives us eternal life. We should not lose this chance just like the Israelites who rejected Jesus Christ because of his outward appearance. We should not be deceived by the appearance of Christ Ahnsahnghong, but must look at the fulfillment of the prophecies of the bible. And we should be able to say like Peter, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God.”

    Give thanks and praise to God Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother New Jerusalem.

    The Bible prophesies that the Christ would come from the East when he comes for the second time. Where is the East in the prophecy? Let us first take a look at the prophecy of Jesus Christ. The first coming Christ came to the land of Israel and he was born in Bethlehem. Then was this just a coincidence? No, this happened to fulfill the prophecies of the bible.

    Micah 5:2   “But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient times.”

    According to this prophecy, the ruler or the king of Jews must come from Bethlehem and to fulfill this prophecy Christ came from the land of Bethlehem. Therefore, the work and life of Christ was the fulfillment of all the prophecies. In the same way, the bible already prophesied that he would come for the second time and the bible also teaches us the place where he is coming from.

    Lightning From the East

    Matthew 24:27   27 For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

    2000 years ago, Jesus compared his second coming to a lightning that comes from the east. What is the meaning of this phrase? Lightning is bright light and according to the bible light represents words of God or gospel. So the lightning from the east means that he would come from the east with words of God and shine the glory of God in the gospel from the east.

    About this Christ’s coming from the east, Apostle John also prophesied that Christ would come from the east, bringing the true words of God for salvation.

    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.

    Just before the destruction of the world with four winds, an angel is coming from the east with the seal of God to give protection from the disasters to God’s people. In the original Greek version of the bible, it says that the angel is coming from the rising of the sun, which means he must come from the east where the sun rises from to shine the land. Then who is this angel bringing the seal of God? To teach us who will bring this seal of protection, God gave us certain signs so that we can know who is it bringing this seal. This work of God’s putting his seal is happening after a certain event (After this). Then what is this event. In just previous chapter, we can see what the event is.

    Revelation 6:12   I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, 13 and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind. 14 The heavens receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.

    To let us know the time of his putting the seal, he gave a series of signs: the darkening of sun and moon and the fall of stars and figs. After the sun and moon lose their light, another angel is coming from the east to start to give the seal of salvation to protect the people of God from the disasters. To find out the time frame let us take a look at a mated verse because each verse of the bible has its own mate. (Isaiah 34:16)

    Matthew 24:29     “Immediately after the distress of those days  “‘the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’

    2000 years ago Jesus also taught the same thing to let us know the time of his coming. We can see the same series of signs such as the darkening of the sun and moon, and the fall of stars as we have already seen in Revelation 16. And in Revelation after these signs, an angel is coming from the east with the seal of God to save them from the four winds. But in this book of Matthew Jesus teaches that it is he who comes at this time frame.

    Matthew 24:30    “Then (or After this) will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. 31 And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.

    In the Book of Matthew Jesus says that the Son of Man (Jesus) is coming after these signs to gather his elect (his people) from the four winds (disasters). Therefore, the angel who is coming with seal of God in Revelation is actually Jesus who is coming for the second time as man in the flesh (or coming on the clouds) to give salvation to his people. And where is the place he is coming from? From the EAST. When Jesus is coming he is coming from the east bringing the seal of God.

    More Prophecies Of Christ’s Coming From the East

    In the Old Testament, too, God let us know the Christ would come from the land of East.

    Isaiah 46:11   From the east I summon a bird of preyfrom a far-off land, a man to fulfill my purpose. What I have said, that I will bring about; what I have planned, that I will do. 12 Listen to me, you stubborn-hearted, you who are now far from my righteousness. 13 I am bringing my righteousness near,     it is not far away; and my salvation will not be delayed. I will grant salvation to Zion, my splendor to Israel.

    As we can see in the verse 13, this is a prophecy about God’s bringing salvation to his people in Zion and Israel. To fulfill this purpose of God’s salvation, he is summon a bird of prey or an eagle. But even though an eagle is very brave and strong, it cannot bring salvation to God’s people. Then what does eagle represent? Parabolically Eagle represent God himself. (Exodus 19:4, Deuteronomy 32:11) It means God himself is coming, but right in the next sentence he is summon a man. Therefore, we can conclude that to bring his salvation God is coming as man in the flesh, namely, as Christ.

    The bible prophecies that Christ would appear two times, first for the forgiveness of sins and second for salvation. (Hebrews 9:28) And in this prophecy Christ is bringing salvation to Zion and we can say this is a prophecy about the Second Coming Christ. The Second Coming Christ must come to bring salvation. But where is he coming from?  He is coming from the east and from the far-off land. Since this book was recorded by Prophet Isaiah who lived in the land of Israel, we can say that the Second Coming Christ must come from the one of the countries from the east of Israel, and also not from the near-eastern country but from the far-off eastern country.

    Savior From the East Bringing the Living Water

    In the Book of Isaiah 41 we can see the same prophecy of Christ’s coming from the east.

    Isaiah 41:2    “Who has stirred up one (a man)from the east, calling him in righteousness to his service? He hands nations over to him and subdues kings before him. He turns them to dust with his sword, to windblown chaff with his bow. 3 He pursues them and moves on unscathed, by a path his feet have not traveled before.

    Who is this man summoned by God and what is the purpose of his coming? If we look at verse 17 and 18 of the chapter, we can see he is coming to bring the living water. He brings water as source of living water to give life to the dried and parched land. But according to the bible who is the only one who can bring the living water to give life to the soul of man? It is Christ. (John 4:14) Then is this prophecy about the First Coming Christ? No, as we have already seen, Jesus Christ came from the land of Israel, but according to this prophecy Christ must come from the east of the land of Israel. And also He must come from a completely different place where he had never set his feet before.

    Far-off Land of East, Korea

    Then what is the land which is located in the east? To find out this we must have a standing point. Since the earth is round, without a certain standard point we cannot tell the direction.

    First, the book of Revelation was written by Apostle John and when he wrote this book, he was staying at the Patmos Island, sent as prisoner. And he said that Christ is coming with the seal of God from the rising of the sun. and the book of Isaiah was written by Prophet Isaiah from the land of Israel. And he said that Christ is coming from the east from a far-off land. Then what is this land of east where Christ is coming from? It is the land of South Korea.

    If we look from the Patmos Island and the land of Israel where the prophecies were written, Korea is the land of the east they saw the Christ is coming from. Some might say there are many countries in the east of Israel. That is true. Even though there are many countries in the east of Patmos and Israel, Korea should be the land where Christ came from. We can find the reason from the purpose of his coming: He must bring the seal of God, the Passover of the New Covenant to give us protection from the last disasters and salvation. Then where did the seal of God, the Passover start from? From Korea, the far-off land from the east.

    Christ Ahnsahnghong, the Angel from the East

    Christ Ahnsahnghong fulfilled the prophecies of the bible and he came from the far-off land of East Korea as angel with seal of God. He started his ministry along with blossoming of fig tree (the idenpendence of Israel) in 1948 and preached the seal of God, the Passover until he ascended back to heaven in 1985 after fulfilling the prophecy of David.

    According to the prophecies of the bible, when the work of putting the seal is over, the four wind would be released to destroy everything on this earth. Only those who received the seal of God the Passover will be able to escape the disasters and receive the salvation and enter into the new heaven and earth. Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother Jerusalem are calling us to receive the seal of God. Whoever listens to the words of God in the bible must come to the Spirit and the bride who can give us the living water of salvation.

  • [WMSCOG] The Parable Of The Fig Tree

    [WMSCOG] The Parable Of The Fig Tree

    Parable of Fig Tree– To let us know his coming as man in the flesh, Jesus gave one parable of his coming on the clouds of heaven. And also to teach us the time of his coming, he gave us another parable: the parable of a figtree. Through this parable of the figtree we can understand the time frame of his second coming; therefore, we must take a look at this parable and understand the true meaning behind it. Unless we understand the meaning of this parable, we cannot know the time of his coming, and we will not be able to know or receive him even though he is the one who can give us salvation.

    Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and the its leaves come out, you know that the summer is near. When is the harvest time of God when he gather together all the good crops? We must learn this lesson from the fig tree.

     The Blossoming of Fig Tree

     

    Parable of Fig Tree– Then what is the parable Jesus taught to let us know the time of his coming?

    Matthew 24:32   “Now learn this lesson from the figtree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 33 Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door.

    In this parable we can see a figtree which was dead once is blossoming again by giving out the new leaves and branches. And when this figtree blossoms, it is the sign for the summer, which is the harvest season in Israel. At this time of harvest, what we should know is someone is coming for the harvest and he is standing right at the door. If we take a look at another version of the bible, the meaning of “it” becomes clear.

    Matthew 24:33   so, you too, when you see all these things, recognize that He is near, right at the door. (NASB)

    “He” in Matthew 24 is the Second Coming Christ because this chapter was given to explain about the signs of his second coming and the end of age. Therefore, the summer or the harvest time actually represents the spiritual harvest time at the end of age, and the one who is coming as harvester is Jesus himself who is coming for the second time. Then what is the lesson we should learn in this parable? It is that He will appear for the second time when the figtree is blossoming. Then what does the figtree represent? Should we understand this in a physical sense? No, it is a parable, which means it contains some hidden meaning behind it. If it is a physical figtree, the Christ must coming every year. He must appear once, twice, three times, etc. Since it has passed 2000 years since he gave this teaching, he must have come for about 2000 times.

    But since the bible says he would appear for the second time and there is no third or fourth appearance, we must know the figtree must not be understood in a physical sense. Then spiritually or prophetically what does a figtree represent?

    Spiritual Meaning of a Fig Tree

     

    To make a long story short, a fig tree represents the nation of Israel. Throughout the Old Testament and New Testament we can find examples that a fig tree means Israel. Let us confirm this through the couple of teachings of Christ himself.

    Luke 13:6   Then he told this parable: “A man had a fig tree growing in his vineyard, and he went to look for fruit on it but did not find any. 7 So he said to the man who took care of the vineyard, ‘For three years now I’ve been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any. Cut it down! Why should it use up the soil?’

    What is the meaning of this parable of fig tree? This parable was given as explanation of his ministry. According to the bible the vineyard represents the land of Israel (Isaiah 5:7) and also a fig tree means the nation of Israel. He came to the land of Israel and he was taking care of his people by preaching the gospel of the kingdom, but people did not accept him and his teaching. The fig tree did not bear fruits, which means there was no one in the nation who accepted him. For that reason, he made up his mind to destroy the nation completely.

     Cursing of the Fig Tree

     

    Parable of Fig Tree– His decision is made more clear in another parable he gave.

    Mark 11:12   The next day as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry. 13 Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs. 14 Then he said to the tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard him say it.

    In this parable, we can see Jesus cursing a fig tree for not having fruits in it. The reason there was no fruit in the fig tree was obvious for everyone. According to Mark’s word, he said simply it was because “it was not the season for figs.” Without doubts, Jesus must have known the time of figs. It was the most common tree in the land of Israel and everybody knows when it produces fruits, let alone Jesus is the God who made the fig tree. If he wanted to curse a fig tree for not having fruits in it, he should have cursed all the fig trees in the land of Israel, not just one.

    Then what is the true meaning behind this cursing of a fig tree for not having fruit? We can now understand that this was given as parable too. It contains spiritual meanings in it. Then what is the meaning of the cursing? By cursing the fig tree, symbolically Jesus was cursing the nation of Israel and people in it for not bearing the fruits of repentance. Even though God himself came down to this earth and preached the gospel to teach them the words of God and give them salvation, no one was willing to accept his teaching. For that reason he cursed the nation of Israel and that was parabolically manifested as cursing of the fig tree.

    Mark 11:20   In the morning, as they went along, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots. 21 Peter remembered and said to Jesus, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has withered!”

    What happened to the fig tree which was cursed by Jesus? It withered from the roots, which means it withered completely without any sign of life in it. This dead fig tree was given as sign of the destruction of the nation. Actually, he gave a direct teaching about the fall of Israel without using any parable in it.

    The Fall of Jerusalem Prophesied

    Luke 21:20    “When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near. 21 Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those in the city get out, and let those in the country not enter the city. 22 For this is the time of punishment in fulfillment of all that has been written. 23 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! There will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people.

    Parable of Fig Tree– In this prophecy Jesus foretold the fall of Jerusalem by the siege of armies, which actually took place in AD 70 when Jerusalem was surrounded by Roman armies led by General Titus. This is a short historical description about the fall of Jerusalem:

    Lesson from the fig tree

    Just as prophesied by Jesus Christ, the cursed fig tree got destroyed by the Roman army led by Titus in AD 70. The nation of Israel disappeared from the world history.

     While the Jews were making their preparations, the Romans were busy too. Vespasian, their outstanding general, commander of the Second Legion in the conquest of Britain, was sent out to restore Roman rule. By the year 68, after having to fight every inch of the way on his march southwards through Palestine, he had virtually isolated Jerusalem and was ready to put it under siege. As chance would have it, Rome at this time was rocked by political upheaval, and Vespasian decided to await its outcome. Meanwhile, he suspended his campaign. The political upshot was the proclamation of Vespasian as emperor in 69. He appointed his son, Titus, commander of the armies in Judea, entrusting him with the direction of the final operations against the Jews of Jerusalem. The Jews had been given a breathing space, but they squandered it on bitter and bloody internal conflict. Lack of unity had sapped their strength, and they revived and sought to compose their differences only when, in the spring of 70, Titus with his vast forces descended upon the city.

    From The Great Revolt AD 66-70, Teddy Kollek and Moshe Pearlman, Jerusalem: Sacred City of Mankind, Steimatzky Ltd., Jerusalem, 1991.

    During this six months’ siege, people suffered diseases and hunger and many died. Finally, the wall of Jerusalem was broken through and the city was completely destroyed by the army, resulting in the death of 1.1 million and captivity of 97,000 people of Israel. This was the fulfillment of the parable of a fig tree. The cursed fig tree finally got dried and dead even from the root without having any life in it. But according to the prophecy, Jesus already foretold that this fig tree which seemed to be dead completely will blossom again.

    Luke 21:24    They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

    The nation of Israel will not be in ruin forever; but rather he said that it would be restored when the time of Gentiles comes to an end. According to this prophecy, finally in 1948 the nation of Israel was restored back again. The fig tree cursed and dead even from the root started to revive again. Historians considered this event as miracle which was unprecedented before. No nation in human history could be restored back to its own land like Israel 1900 years after its fall.

    The Lesson from the Fig Tree

    Parable of Fig Tree– Then how could this happen? This miraculous thing happened as part of fulfillment of prophecies. Through this fulfillment of something inconceivable God wants to teach us a lesson. God made the impossible possible to teach us a lesson which will surely be fulfilled.

    Matthew 24:32   “Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 33 Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door.

    Blossoming of fig tree
    Declaration of the Independence of the Nation of Israel. The fig tree which had been dead for about 2000 years revived again in 1948 according to the prophecies of the bible. Then what is the lesson that we should learn from the restoration of the nation of Israel?

    The blossoming of the dead fig tree or the restoration of once stateless people of Israel was given as sign of his coming. When the proclamation of the independence of Israel was made by Ben Gurion the Prime Minister in 1948, spiritually God was making the proclamation of his coming to preach the gospel to give us salvation.

    According to the prophecy of the fig tree, Christ Ahnsahnghong started to preach the gospel as it says, “He is near, right at the door.” As spiritual King David he got baptized at the age of 30, and he started to preach the gospel from 1948 also to fulfill the prophecy of the fig tree. Ahnsahnghong is the true Christ because he is the one who fulfilled all the prophecies of the bible. Let us learn this lesson of the fig tree and we must realize that we are living in the time of his coming and earnestly seek him to receive salvation.

  • [WMSCOG] Figurative Meaning Of Clouds In The Bible

    [WMSCOG] Figurative Meaning Of Clouds In The Bible

    Formation of Clouds

    Figurative Meaning of Clouds in the Bible--Christ’s coming as man in the flesh is figuratively represented as “coming on the clouds.” Then why does the bible relate a man in the flesh to clouds? It can be understood through the formation of the physical clouds. How are the clouds formed in the sky? It is formed through a process called “the water cycle.”

    As you can see in this diagram, the water on the surface of the earth evaporates because of the heat from the sun and the evaporated water drops condense and form the clouds in the sky. So literally clouds are a body of water above separated from the original water below because of the sun. Through this formation of physical clouds, actually God teaches us the spiritual meaning of clouds in the bible. In the formation of clouds, we can see two different things are involved, that is, first water on the surface of the earth such as oceans, rivers, and lakes, and second heat from the sun.

    Biblical Meaning of Cloud
    Formation of Clouds

    Hidden Meaning in the Water Cycle

    Figurative Meaning of Clouds in the Bible-Then what is the spiritual meaning hidden behind this formation of clouds? First, we must know the reality of the water below. What does the water below represent?

    Revelation 17:1  One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits by many waters. 2 With her the kings of the earth committed adultery, and the inhabitants of the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her adulteries.

    We can see a image of a woman who is sitting on many waters. In this context, the woman represent a church as we can see in the Book of 1 Peter.

    1 Peter 5:13  She (or a woman) who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you her greetings, and so does my son Mark. 14 Greet one another with a kiss of love.

    Who is this woman? In another translation of this verse, it is written like this: “13 The church in Babylon sends you greetings.” (ERV) Through this we can see that a church is sitting on the waters, which symbolically mean controlling the waters by ruling over the waters. Then what does the waters represent? Does it mean there is a church which has control over the oceans of the earth, making a lot of money? Just as the woman is a church, the water also means something else. In Verse 15 of the Chapter, God let us know the spiritual meaning of the waters:

    Revelation 17:15  Then the angel said to me, “The waters you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages.

    It means that the waters represents all the human society of the worlds, including all the nations, languages, peoples, and races. Simply we can call the waters “Human Society” in general. So a woman sitting on many waters can mean “a church controlling the whole human society.” Through this we can see the spiritual meaning of the waters below, which means all the human beings living on the surface of the earth. Then what is the next requirement in the formation of the clouds? It is the Sun. Then what is the sun that provide the heat to make the waters evaporate to form the clouds?

    About the Christ coming down to this earth, the bible prophesies that:

    Luke 1:78  because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the rising sun (Jesus) will come to us (waters) from heaven.

    John 1:8  He (John the Baptist) was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. The true light (Jesus) that gives light to every man (waters) was coming into the world.

     Through this we can see the sun represents Jesus, who is coming as sunlight to shine his light of glory to waters or every man on the surface of the earth. Even though the sun shines its lights all over the waters, not all the waters evaporate to forms the clouds. Likewise, even though Jesus the true light shone his light of glory to all the peoples of the world or the waters, not all the peoples could accept the light of glory of God. Only a few accepted the light of glory from the Christ and spiritually they purified themselves and separated themselves from the original body of waters (the human societies) and could form clouds. In this sense, spiritually clouds are men who are spiritually born again by accepting the light of glory from the Christ. Simply you can say that the clouds represent God’s people. That is why Christ’s coming is represented as coming on the clouds or coming as man in the flesh.

    Biblical Meaning of Cloud

    Clouds Covering the Sunlight

    Figurative Meaning of Clouds in the Bible-Not only that, coming on the clouds has more meanings behind it. First, what do clouds do in the sky? It covers the light of the sun, right? Spiritually, it means Christ’s coming as man in the flesh, covering the spiritual glory of God in the flesh so that it would be hard for people to recognize the true identity of the Christ. Since he covers his glory completely in the flesh, people could not see the glory of God in Christ and they rejected him and the salvation he brought to them.

    John 1:3-9  3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not understood it. …… 9 The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 11 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.

    Even though he was God who was shining the glory of God to the peoples of the world, but they did not see the glory of God in Christ and they rejected him.

    2 Corinthians 4:3  3 And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. 4 The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

    Even though the Apostles could see the glory of God in Christ, others could not see the glory and they could not receive salvation. Then why did this happen? It was because Christ hid his glory or his light completely with cloud or his flesh.

    Coming On the Clouds
    What is it you are seeming in this picture? Is it just a man in the flesh or God who came to fulfill the prophecies of the bible? Even though he appeared as man, he was our Savior. Even though he was rejected by man, he was God who appeared as man.

    Cloud and Rain

    Figurative Meaning of Clouds in the Bible-Let us think about another meaning of clouds in the bible. Why is Christ’s coming compared to clouds? What are clouds made up of? Water drops or rain, right? In the same way, when Christ comes, he is bringing the rain or water. Then what is the spiritual water he is bringing to the world?

    Amos 8:11  “The days are coming,” declares the Sovereign Lord, “when I will send a famine through the land—not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the Lord.

    Spiritually, food and water mean the words of God. So when Christ comes, he must bring the words of God to the thirsty souls so that they can receive life for the soul. That is why when Christ came 2000 years ago, he brought us the new words of God or the new covenant so that we can receive the forgiveness of sins and eternal life through the water.

    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.” 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.

    Conclusion

    Figurative Meaning of Clouds in the Bible-For all these reasons, Christ’s coming is prophesied as coming on the clouds. Then should we still think that he will come on the clouds of heaven with visible glory and power? No. Just like everything else in the bible, clouds are also figurative and parabolic. When Jesus prophesied that he would come on the clouds of heaven in the last days in his second coming, what he actually meant was that he would come as man in the flesh hiding his glory and power and bringing the words of God (water) to give us salvation. That is why he must come as man in the flesh for the second time and he must restored the words of God which were abolished by the work of Satan during the Dark Ages and gives us the back the true words of God to give us salvation.

    Now even though other people do not know the light of glory of God since their eyes are veiled, we as God’s people in Zion can see the glory of God, which gives us salvation. The glory of God shining from the Second Coming Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother Jerusalem. God is shining the true light at this moment, calling us to come so that we can receive the water of life, the true words of God that give us eternal life. Come to Zion, the World Mission Society Church of God.

  • [WMSCOG] Second Coming Christ Coming On The Clouds

    [WMSCOG] Second Coming Christ Coming On The Clouds

    The bible is written in parable. That is why we must be careful in interpreting the words of God in the bible. If we misunderstand the meaning, then we cannot know the plan of God’s salvation for us and we might miss the salvation he has prepared for us. Now let us understand how would the Christ appear in the last days. The Bible teaches that he would come on the clouds of heaven. What is the meaning of this parable of clouds?

    Coming on the Clouds

    In Matthew 24, Jesus Christ already let us know everything about his coming in the last days. If you read from the first verse to the third verse we are given the information about this chapter. And this chapter concerns mainly about three questions of the disciples: first, the time of the fall of Jerusalem, second, the sign of his coming or his second coming, and third the sign of the end of the age. To give answers for these three questions of the disciples, Jesus gave this chapter so this chapter contains information about his second coming. Then let us take a look at one of the prophecies of his second coming to find out how he would appear in the last days.

    Matthew 24:30 Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man (Jesus) in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory.

    Christ's Coming on the Clouds
    The bible prophesies that the Christ would come again on the clouds of heaven? Will he come on the physical clouds of heaven? Or is it a parable?

    Jesus foretold that he would come on the clouds of heaven, with power and glory. Because of this many people says that he would descend from heaven on cloud with the glory of God to make a judgment on the peoples of the world. This interpretation, however, can be misleading because just like everything else in the bible “clouds” does not necessarily means the physical clouds of sky, but it could have some figurative meanings. That is why first we should know what is the meaning of clouds in this context.

    Then to understand the meaning of the clouds what should we do? Should we go to the library and search the books on the bible or clouds? Or should we ask the opinions of scholarly men? No, all these are useless because it is only God who can give the answer for the question and the words of God is recorded in the bible. Therefore, to know the meaning of “clouds” we must search the bible for the answer.

    First Coming Christ and Clouds

    To understand the meaning of the clouds we must first look at the prophecy of the first coming Christ and find out any related point for his coming again on the clouds. One of the prophecies of the first coming Christ is directed related to this prophecy of his coming on the clouds.

    Daniel 7:13  13 “In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. 14 He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all nations and peoples of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.

    Then who is this son of man who received authority, glory and sovereign power (or kingdom) for the Ancient Days (or God)? Let us see the fulfillment of this prophecy.

    Matthew 28:28 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

    We can see it was Jesus who was given authority from God. Then how about glory?

    John 17:22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one

    Jesus was the one who received glory from God. And about kingdom the bible says;

    Luke 22:29 And I confer on you a kingdom, just as my Father conferred one (a kingdom) on me, 30 so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

    It was Jesus who was given “authority, glory and sovereign power (kingdom)” from God, and therefore, we can say it was Jesus who fulfilled the prophecy of Daniel 7. Then let us think about Jesus coming 2000 years ago. Did he come with physical authority, glory and kingdom? Did he really come down from heaven on clouds? No, he was born as man in the flesh and the authority, glory and kingdom he was given was all spiritual, not physical. That is why people rejected Jesus even though he was Christ or Savior they had been waiting. In the eyes of people of the time Christ was just a man in the flesh like one of them.

    Clouds, Man in the flesh

    Therefore, we can see the clouds means a man in the flesh living on this earth. We can confirm this through many testimonies of the bible. The bible describes man in the flesh as clouds. According to the bible, a false prophet who does not have the true words of God is called “cloud without rain.”

    Proverbs 25:14  Like clouds and wind without rain is one (a false prophet) who boasts of gifts never given.

    Jude 1:12   These people are blemishes at your love feasts, eating with you without the slightest qualm—shepherds who feed only themselves. They (false prophets) are clouds without rain, blown along by the wind; autumn trees, without fruit and uprooted—twice dead.

    “Rain or water” in the bible means “words of God.” Therefore, clouds without rain means a man with no words of God in him or a false prophet. In this sense what should then we call the true prophets of God, those who have the words of God in them? They are simply called clouds because clouds always contains water in them.

    Hebrews 12:1  Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles.

    In Chapter 11, he was speaking about the true prophets of God such as Abel, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, etc. And in Chapter 12, he called them “cloud” because they were “men in the flesh who had true words of God in them.”

    Coming on the Clouds
    When Jesus came as man in the flesh 2000 years ago, he hid all his glory in the clouds of his body. Because of that, people did not recognize the identity of Jesus and rejected him, saying, “You are a mere man claiming to be God.”

    Conclusion

    Therefore, in the bible clouds have symbolic meaning and it is used as metaphor to mean “a man in the flesh.” Then what does it mean when Jesus said that he would come on the clouds of heaven in the last days? Should we still interpret that he would fly down from heaven on clouds? No, now we must understand the figurative meaning of clouds in the bible. It means He would come back again as man in the flesh in the last days with spiritual glory and power to save his people.

    If this is true meaning of cloud, then what would happen to the people who are waiting for the Christ who comes on physical clouds of heaven. Just like the Jews who were waiting for their Messiah coming on the physical clouds in heaven with visible glory and power could not receive salvation because they rejected Christ who came as man in the flesh without recognizing the true identity of Jesus, in the same way Christians who are waiting for Jesus coming on the physical clouds of heaven with visible glory and power will miss the Christ who silently comes down to this earth as man in the flesh by being born as baby as in his first coming and they will lose their chance for salvation.

    Now we must have spiritual eyes like apostles 2000 years ago to know the glory of the second coming Christ who came as man in the flesh to save us in this last days. It is Christ Ahnsahnghong who fulfilled this prophecy by coming as man in the flesh with rain (the true words of God) to save us. He restored the truth of the new covenant: Sabbath, Passover, Veil, and all other festivals of God.

  • [WMSCOG] The One Who We Should Wait For

    The bible is the book which testifies about the Savior who was to come and give us salvation. And the bible teaches us that we should wait for the Christ who is coming in the last days to give us salvation.

    Hebrews 9:28    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.

    The bible says that he would appear again and we must wait for him because he is bringing salvation in the last days. Then who is the Christ who was to appear and give us salvation? How can we recognize him? To answer these questions we have to take a look at the prophecies of the bible and then we can know who the second coming Christ is. Today many people says they are Christians, but they do not have any clue about the Christ who was to come in the last days. Therefore, as people of God who are waiting for his coming let us find out how we can know the Christ who is coming bringing salvation.
     
    To teach us the Christ coming in the last days, God gave one prophecy through the prophet Isaiah.
     

    Isaiah 25:9   In that day they will say,“Surely this is our God;    we trusted in him, and he saved us.This is the Lord, we trusted in him;    let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation.”

    This prophecy is about the last days when God appears to give us salvation. We can confirm this by looking at the time frame of this prophecy. Actually this prophecy is related to the prophecy of Hebrews 9:28. In the King James Version or many other versions of the bible let us know more clearly the meanings of Isaiah 25. Instead of the word “trusted” in the New International Version many other versions replace it with another word, that is, “waited.” Let us take a look at the Easy-To-Read Version.
     

    Isaiah 25:9 At that time people will say,
    “Here is our God!
    He is the one we have been waiting for.
    He has come to save us.
    We have been waiting for our Lord.
    So we will rejoice and be happy when he saves us.”

    In the book of Hebrews it says that we must wait for the Christ who would appear for the second time to bring salvation. That Christ that we were waiting was already prophesied in the book of Isaiah too as the one we have to wait for because he is coming to save us or in other words he is coming to bring salvation. The first coming Christ came to give us the forgiveness of sins and he will appear for the second time not for the sins again but for salvation. Therefore, the prophecies of Hebrews 9:28 and Isaiah 25:9 are actually the same prophecies and we can confirm this by looking more closely at the prophecy of Isaiah 25 which describes more about the characteristics of the Christ who is coming to bring salvation. Let us examine some verses that comes just before the verse 9.
     

    Isaiah 25:6  On this mountain the Lord Almighty will prepare    a feast of rich food for all peoples,a banquet of aged wine—    the best of meats and the finest of wines.

    In this verse we can see where the Christ is coming and what he is doing for the salvation. He is appearing on a certain mountain. Then what is this mountain? If we goes back a little more, in Chapter 24:23 we can see the mountain represents Mount Zion. Then what is Zion? In the Book of Isaiah Chapter 33:20, we can see the Zion is the place where God’s festivals are kept. Therefore, actually Isaiah 25:6 describes about Christ who is preparing a festival of God on the holy mountain of God, Zion. Then what kind of things are used for this festivals of God? Meats and wines. According to the bible there is only one festivals of God which is kept with wine, that is, the Passover. On the Passover night, Jesus gave bread and wine to his disciples which represents his flesh (meats) and his blood (wine). Except the Passover there is no other festivals of God in the bible which is kept with wine. Therefore, this prophecies is about Second Coming Christ’s keeping the Passover with his people with bread and wine. We can confirm this through the next verse.
     
    The verse 7 teaches us the purpose of the festival which is kept with wine. Then why does God give meats and wines in the festivals?
     

    7 On this mountain he will destroy
    the shroud that enfolds all peoples,
    the sheet that covers all nations;
    8     he will swallow up death forever.The Sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears
    from all faces;
    he will remove his people’s disgrace
    from all the earth.
    The Lord has spoken.

    The reason he prepares this festival is to “destroy the shroud and sheet” which cover all the peoples and nations of the world. Then what is this sheet or shroud that covers all the people and thus nobody is free from? It is “death” which nobody can escape from and that influences everybody on this earth. But what happens to “death” when God holds this festival on Mount Zion? It is swallowed up, which means that the power of death is destroyed and it has no influence on people anymore. Since there is no death, those who keep this festival can have eternal life. So ultimately the reason Christ holds this festival is to give eternal life.
     
    We can confirm that this festival is the Passover by looking at a teaching of Christ which he gave 2000 years ago. On the night of the Passover, he gave his flesh and blood through the bread and wine of the Passover. And he taught the reason which his disciples should receive the bread and wine of the Passover. All the people on this earth are under the pain and agony of death without exception because of their sins they committed in heaven. But through his flesh and blood Christ gave “the forgiveness of sins.”
     

    Matthew 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.

    The reason he gave the Passover wine was to give the sinners the forgiveness of their sins. Since their sins are forgiven, the wage of the sin, death penalty is cancelled too. Since there is no death anymore for the one who received the blood of Christ through the Passover bread and wine, they can have eternal life, the salvation of soul.
     

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

    By keeping the Passover, we can participate in the flesh and blood of the Christ and through the flesh and blood of the Christ we can receive eternal life. Therefore, we can confirm that the festival of God in the Book of Isaiah Chapter 25 which has the power to destroy the death forever is actually the Passover.
     
     
     
    And finally now we must know about the time frame of this prophecy. According to the bible, Christ would appear twice. Then is this prophecy about the first coming Christ or the second? The clue is in the verse 6 which describes the things Christ bring to give us salvation. According to this verse, what kind of characteristic does the wine have? The bible says Christ is preparing the feast with “aged” wine. Aged wine is the wine which should be stored for a long time so that it could be fermented to have good flavor. Then was the wine of the Passover Christ gave to this disciple “an aged wine”? No, we cannot consider it as an aged wine. Until the Christ time, Jews kept the Passover with the blood of lambs in the Old Testament. When Christ came 2000 years, he changed the Passover regulation by keeping with wine which represents the blood of Christ, the true Passover Lamb. Christ kept the Passover with wine for the first time and therefore we can say that wine of the Passover which Christ used 2000 years ago was a new wine.
     
    But what happened to the Passover? In the early church the Passover was kept until 325 AD, but it was abolished through the order of Emperor Constantine in 325 AD in the Council of Nicaea. Since then nobody could keep the Passover and nobody could receive the forgiveness of sins and eternal life. The Passover wine was hidden from people until Christ Ahnsahnghong started to preach the new covenant of the Passover from 1948 after he started his ministry. From 325 to 1948, for about 1600 years the wine of the Passover was stored in a secret place until it was opened again by Christ Ahnsahnghong. Then can we call this wine of the Passover which was given by Christ Ahnsahnghong “an aged wine”? Yes, 1600 year old wine is a truly aged wine. So the prophecy is about the Passover which would be kept in the last days by the second coming Christ and his disciples.
     
    Through this Chapter in Isaiah God already let us know everything about Christ: Where he was to appear, what he would do to bring salvation, and what is the sign he would bring. And finally, the verse 9 tells us the true identity of the one who was to come bringing the Passover to give us salvation.
     

    Isaiah 25:Isaiah 25:9   In that day they will say,
    Surely this is our God;    we trusted in him, and he saved us.
    This is the Lord, we trusted in him;
    let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation.”

    The one who is bringing the new covenant of the Passover is actually God himself who comes to save us in the last days by restoring and bringing back the bread and wine of the Passover which had been taken away by the work of Satan. And this is the one who we have to wait for for our salvation. Through this prophecy we can know that he must establish Zion, the city of festivals, and he must bringing the new covenant of the Passover to destroy the power of death and give us eternal life. Then who fulfilled this prophecy by restoring the new covenant which had been long abolished by Satan? It was Christ Ahnsahnghong. He established Zion, the city of David and gave us all the festivals of God including the Passover. And through his precious flesh and blood, he opened the way to the eternal life again, so that we can receive salvation. Then who is Christ Ahnsahnghong? He is the God that we had to wait for.
     
    Once we were under the agony of death because of our sins, but Christ Ahnsahnghong restored the Passover and gave us eternal life again by swallowing up death forever. Therefore, now as the Scripture says, “Let us rejoice and be glad” for the salvation he brought us and keep the Passover until the end. And also let us teach the Passover to those who are waiting for the Christ so that they can receive salvation too.
     

    1 Corinthians 11:23   For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.” 25 In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.” 26 For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

    Let us proclaim the salvation of Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother Jerusalem till the end!!
  • [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!
