  • God’s Creation Work

    God’s Creation Work

    According to the bible, the Six-Day Creation represents the six-thousand years of God’s salvation work, the spiritual creation of God’s people. God is working for the last six thousand years to make us into a new creation who resemble God. About this creation work of God, Jesus Christ said:

    John 5:17 Jesus said to them, “My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I, too, am working.”

    God is working all these ages to create us into the image of God. Even though we are unholy and sinful unworthy to receive salvation or eternal life in heaven, since we are created into a holy people of God through the creation work of God, we can be the royal priesthood of God in heaven, reigning with God forever and ever.

    A New Creation

    Apostle Paul teaches us that God is making us into a new creation that we may be holy just as God is holy.

    Colossians 3:10 Now you are wearing a new life, a life that is new every day. You are growing in your understanding of the one who made you. You are becoming more and more like him. (ERV)

    Ephesians 2:10 God has made us what we are. In Christ Jesus, God made us new people so that we would spend our lives doing the good things he had already planned for us to do. (ERV)

    Through the creation work of God, we are made into a new creation resembling the image of God.

    1 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!

    The Process of the New Creation

    However, the process that we are created into the image of God is not easy. To make us into a new creation, God is working as workman. In this process, God puts us in a many different situations to test us and to shape us.

    In the time of Moses, God set the Israel people free from the slavery of Egypt, and led them to the land of Canaan. Before allowing them the land as inheritance, first God tested them and shaped them as people of God by putting them into many different situations. Through this process they were made into a new creation worthy enough to be called the people of God.

    Until they are completely made into the new creation, God was working over and over again, leading them through the desert.

    Deuteronomy 8:2 Remember how the Lord your God led you all the way in the wilderness these forty years, to humble and test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands. 3 He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your ancestors had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.

    The New Creation Through the Words of God

    Spiritually, it is the same. God put us into a spiritual desert. Sometimes, we are put into a plentiful circumstances, and other times a lacking ones. We go through many difficulties and sufferings in wealth, health, relationship, preaching, faith, etc. And God is searching our heart to know if we are depending on the words of God or not.

    When we come to completely rely on the words of Go, obeying the commands of God, we can be the new creation and enter into the kingdom of heaven, our spiritual home Canaan.

    Refined Like Silver or Gold

    Sometimes we are compared to silver or gold refined by God. We are like gold and the words of God is like fire. We are refined through the fire that is words of God (Jeremiah 5:14) that we may become pure like gold or silver.

    Proverbs 17:3 The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold, but the Lord tests the heart.

    Isaiah 48:10 See, I have refined you, though not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.

    Made Into Pottery

    Also we are compared to a lump of clay made into articles of a house for various purposes. When a potter make a jar with a lump of clay, he uses water to make it easy to shape the lump into various forms. Without water it is almost impossible to shape the lump into a desirable form.

    It is the same with us who are the lump made by God. God is shaping us with the words of God, that is, water. (Ephesians 5:26) We can be made into a creation desirable for the purposes of God when we have the water that is the words of God in us.

    Conclusion

    Ceaselessly, God is creating us into the image of God even now. When the creation work becomes complete and we are made holy just like God, then God will allow us to enter the heaven. Until the process is over, we diligently obey the commands of God, making effort to resemble God in every way.

  • Christ Ahnsahnghong Coming as Elijah

    Christ Ahnsahnghong Coming as Elijah

    Elijah Ahnsahnghong

    In the previous article, we have seen the relation between John the Baptist and Jesus Christ. John the Baptist came as Elijah to prepare the way for the Lord and he testified Jesus as Lord God who would come for the forgiveness of sins and salvation.

    However, even though the prophecies of Elijah were partially accomplished by the coming of John the Baptist, the complete fulfillment of the prophecies did not happen at that time. If we look at the prophecies closely, the true fulfillment of the prophecies was reserved for the last day.

    The Time of Appearance of Elijah

    In the Book of Malachi, we can see the prophecies of Elijah’s coming to prepare the way for the Lord and to turn the hearts of people to God. But it also testifies about the time frame when the prophecies are to be fulfilled.

    Malachi 4:1 “Surely the day is coming; it will burn like a furnace. All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble, and the day that is coming will set them on fire,” says the Lord Almighty.

    Malachi 4:3 “See, I will send the prophet Elijah to you before that great and dreadful day of the Lord comes. 6 He will turn the hearts of the parents to their children, and the hearts of the children to their parents; or else I will come and strike the land with total destruction.

    According to the prophecies above, the period is just before the total destruction with fire on the great and dreadful day of the Lord. Before everything is to be destroyed with fire, God is going to send Prophet Elijah to turn the hearts of people to God so that they could return to God for salvation. This shows that Elijah would come just before the total destruction with fire, that is, just before the Day of Judgment to save the children of God.

    Elijah Ahnsahnghong

    Who is Elijah?

    Also, through the name Elijah, we can see that John the Baptist did not fulfill the prophecies completely. The name Elijah is a combination of “Eli” and “Jah”, which respectively means “God” and “Jehovah”. This means the true fulfillment of the prophecies must be accomplished by God Jehovah himself. He must appear as Prophet Elijah just before the Day of Judgment and He will fulfill the missions of Elijah: preparing the way for the Lord and turning the hearts of people to God.

    This explanation is a little bit strange. God is coming to prepare the way of God? Does it mean there are two Gods, the one who comes before to prepare the way and the other who comes after as Lord to give salvation? This seems to be odd in the perspective of most Christians who believe there are only one God in heaven, God the Father.

    Two Images of God: Male and Female

    This is a very serious question we have to ask to understand the meaning of the prophecies. Is there only one God or more than one? Actually the bible says there are two images of God: God the Father and God the Mother. In the original Hebrew version of the Old Testament God is referred to as Elohim for 2500 times in the bible. “Elohim” is the plural form of God in Hebrew, which means “Gods”, rather than God. In short, God is Gods, Father and Mother, not just one God the Father.

    Briefly we can see this through God’s creation of man in Genesis. According to Genesis, when God created man, God used himself as model for man. Even though God is invisible and we cannot know the image of God, since man was given the image of God, we can understand the image of God through man who was created after the image of God.

    Genesis 1:26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, ….  So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.

    There is something strange in the verse above. Rather than using a singular form such as “me” or “my”, God is referring to himself through the plural form, “us” and “our”. But then why? We can find the answer through man who God created with his own image. Man has two images, male and female, or Adam and Eve. Through the creation of man, we can conclude that God has two images too, male and female, that is, God the Father and God the Mother.

    Elijah Ahnsahnghong

    God the Father and God the Mother

    Now we can understand the mystery of Elijah (who is God) coming as messenger to prepare the way for God. The prophecy is about God the Father (Elijah or God Jehovah) who is coming to prepare the way of God the Mother in the last day to save God’s people.

    Actually, this was already foreshadowed in the creation of Adam and Eve. As we know Adam represents God the Father (Rom 5:14). Then who does Eve the wife of Adam represent? God the Mother. The creation of Adam and Eve on the sixth day has some hidden prophetical meaning in it. In the prophetical term, one day is equivalent to one thousand years. (2Pe 3:8) Therefore, the six-day creation actually represents the six-thousand years of God’s salvation work.

    According to the plan of God, on the last day, that is, the sixth day, Adam and Eve would appear to lead the animals. The prophetical meaning of this is that at the end of the six thousand year’s salvation work the prophetical Adam and Eve would appear to lead the Gentiles to salvation who are represented as animals. (1Co 15:45)

    Elijah Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother

    All these prophecies got fulfilled by Christ Ahnsahnghong. Christ Ahnsahnghong came as Elijah and testified about the one who was to come after him, God the Mother. Just as Adam who represents Christ or God the Father testified about Eve (God the Mother) by calling her “the mother of all the living”, (Gen 3:20) Father Ahnsahnghong revealed Heavenly Mother New Jerusalem through the heavenly wedding banquet as the one who gives eternal life.

    Wedding Banquet and God the Mother: Elijah Ahnsahnghong revealed God the Mother through the heavenly wedding banquet.

    This all happened to fulfill the prophecies of the revelation. It says:

    Revealtion 22:17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.

    This prophecy says that the water of life or “eternal life” would be given by the Spirit (God the Father) and the Bride (God the Mother). By the fulfillment of all the prophecies of the Bible we can say Christ Ahnsahnghong is the Elijah who was to come and God the Mother is the Lord we have to receive for salvation.

  • [WMSCOG] DAY TWO: SEPARATION OF WATERS

    [WMSCOG] DAY TWO: SEPARATION OF WATERS

    DAY TWO: SEPARATION OF WATERS–In the previous post of the Six-Day Creation, we have seen about the first day creation. It showed us about how God created light and separated light from darkness. Today, let us see the second day creation: the separation of waters. Just like the first day, the second day creation work is also done by a separation of two types of people. On the first day, God separated Adam and Eve, and their descendants from other mankind around them by revealing the light of the glory of God to Adam and Eve. From that moment, for the first time in human history, people came to have knowledge about the existence of God.

    DAY TWO: SEPARATION OF WATERS
    Noah’s Ark and Deluge

    [The Second Day Creation] Day Two: Separation of Waters

    DAY TWO: SEPARATION OF WATERS–Then what is the meaning of the second day creation? Let us take a look at the second day of creation?

    Genesis 1:6 And God said, “Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water.” 7 So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so. 8 God called the vault “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day.

    The main creation work of God on the second day was the separation of waters by putting a vault or expanse between them. And God separated water above the sky and water below. Does this mean God created the water above and below for the first time? And was there no cloud in the sky before this moment? As we have seen many times before, the words of God has hidden meaning behind it. It means it must be read as parable written in a figurative language.

    Water Below and Water Above

    DAY TWO: SEPARATION OF WATERS–To understand the figurative meaning, first we have to understand the literal meaning. Then what are the two waters? Water below the expanse means waters we can find on the surface of the earth such as rivers, seas, lakes, swamps, etc. Then what is the water above the expanse? That must be the clouds in the sky. In the literal sense, God separated some water from the water below and formed the water above or clouds in the sky.

    Meaning Of Water Below

    DAY TWO: SEPARATION OF WATERS–Then what is the meaning hidden in this creation work? To understand this we have to know the spiritual meaning of the water below. Then what do the waters on the surface of the earth represent? In the Book of Revelation, we can see an image of woman sitting on waters. And God let us know the figurative meaning of the waters.

    Revelation 17:1, 15 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….15 Then the angel said to me, “The waters you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages.

    In this prophecy we can see that the waters represents “peoples, multitudes, nations and languages” or simply we can say that the waters means “human society”. We can confirm this through another imagery in the book.

    Revelation 13:1 The dragon stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast (a kingdom) coming out of the sea (the human society).

    In this prophecy, God showed John a beast coming out of the sea. And if you have already studied the prophecies of Daniel and Revelation, you would already know that this means a nation arising from a human society or the water. In this sense, we can know that the waters represent the whole human society.

    The Water Above

    DAY TWO: SEPARATION OF WATERS–Then what is the water above which was taken out from the human society? They must be a group of people who God would separate from the rest of the people of the human society. Then who are these people? To understand the meaning behind this symbol, we have to first understand the formation of the clouds.

    The water above the sky means clouds in the sky. Scientifically, how are the clouds formed? When bodies of water on the surface of the earth are heated by sunlight, some of the water evaporates and condenses into clouds up in the sky. (To understand about this, please follow the link and read a related article.) In this sense, we can say that the clouds are a purified body of water which was separated from the original bodies of water below.

    Figurative Meaning Of Formation Of Clouds

    DAY TWO: SEPARATION OF WATERS–Then what is the spiritual meaning behind this? The waters are the human society. The next thing we have to know is the sunlight which makes the evaporation take place. What is the sun light? Spiritually, the sun represents God himself. In the time of Jesus, Zechariah the father of John the Baptist, moved by the Holy Spirit, prophesied about the Coming of Christ or Messiah.

    Luke 1:76 And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High; for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him, 77 to give his people the knowledge of salvation    through the forgiveness of their sins, 78 because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the rising sun (Jesus) will come to us from heaven 79 to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace.

    Apostle John’s Testimony of Light

    Apostle John also testifies that Jesus is the true light or the light of the sun.

    John 1:6 There was a man sent from God whose name was John. 7 He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe. 8 He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. 9 The true light (Jesus) 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.

    1John 1:5 This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.

    Again and again the bible teaches that God is the true light or the sun that gives light the human society or the waters.

    Water Above: People Spiritually Born Again

    DAY TWO: SEPARATION OF WATERS–Through this we can understand the meaning of the clouds above. The clouds represent a body of water which was separated from the original bodies of water because of the heat from the sun. In the same way, spiritually the clouds mean the people of God who God separates from the rest of people. When the sunlight (God) shines the light of life, some people of the human society receive the light of life. And finally, they separate themselves from the rest of the human society by purifying themselves with the light of life from God (or the sun).

    DAY TWO: SEPARATION OF WATERS
    Tower of Babel and the Confusion of the Languages

    The Fulfillment Of The Second Day Creation

    DAY TWO: SEPARATION OF WATERS–The first day creation was 1656 years from the time of Adam to the time of Noah. In the time of Adam God shone the light of life to the human society for the first time by revealing his existence to Adam and Eve, the first people who came to have the knowledge of God. Even though God revealed the light of life to the people, people refused to accept the light of life from God. So God destroyed all the mankind except for Noah and his family.

    After this, in the time of Noah as we have seen above, God separated people who were to be saved (water above) from those who were not (Waters below). This period of the second day creation is 352 years from Noah to Abraham. First, Noah’s descendants had one language and lived together. After the tower of Babel, however, God confused their language and scattered them throughout the earth. They formed various nations and tribes living around the world. This is the second day creation of God.

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

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

    The Creation Work Of God

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

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

    The Completion Of Creation Work

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    The End Of  Creation Work

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

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

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

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

    Restoration of Zion

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

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

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

    Second Coming Christ Restoring Zion

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

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

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

    Christ Ahnsahnghong Opening Seven Seals

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

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

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

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

    Restoration of Zion: Who is Going to restore the Zion?

  • [WMSCOG] Day One: Creation of Light

    [WMSCOG] Day One: Creation of Light

    Let There Be Light–In Six Day Creation in the Book of Genesis, on the first day, God created light. As we have already seen in another post, this creation is not a literal creation, but a parable. Therefore, we must understand the Six Day Creation figuratively.

    On the first day creation, there are two important questions we must understand. First, when was the first day creation? When did God start his creation work? And second, what is the light that God created on the first day?

    Genesis 1:3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.

    The Beginning

    Let There Be Light–Then let us first think about the beginning of the creation work? To understand the time of beginning, we have to have a certain standard so that we can count days or years. The creation of light, heaven, mountains, rivers, oceans, animals, and birds—all these things cannot work as standard because the bible does not specify the exact time of the creation of those things. And we cannot date the time of the start of the creation through these things.

    But God allowed one creation through which we can count the date of the creation, that is, the creation of the man. With the creation of Adam, God started to count their exact ages so that we can date back to the time of creation. Many scholars worked on this and they unanimously agree that the creation of Adam took place about 6000 years ago, or around B.C. 4000. (Click HERE to find out more.) According to this calculation of the time, from the Creation of Adam to the time of Jesus’ coming, the Old Testament period was 4000 years. And From Jesus to present, it is about a little more than 2000 years.

    Scientific Complications

    Let There Be Light–Therefore, according to the biblical explanation, this heaven and earth have been created in no more than 6000 years ago. However, it is now commonsensical that this earth itself—let alone, the solar system and the whole universe—is far older thank this explanation. We can find scientific explanation about the creation of the earth and life in it in many different places like this one.

    This news article explains that the earth was created 4.5 billion years ago. (Wow!) And the first life appeared 3.8 billions ago; the first human species or Homo sapiens, 0.2 million years ago. It means that the first man Adam was created scientifically 200,000 years ago, not 6000 years ago. Therefore, if we try to understand the bible through this scientific perspective, the bible and its description of the creation is nonsensical. For this reason and many others, people tend to dismiss the idea of Six-Day Creation as myth.

    Parable of Six Day Creation

    Let There Be Light–However, the Six Day Creation should be read as parable like most of other words of God in the bible. The bible says that Jesus did not say anything without using a parable. (Matthew 13:34) It means God is using parables to teaching spiritual things by using the physical things. Just like the Lamb of God, the living water, the temple of God, etc, the Six Day Creation is also a parable.

    Through the Six Day Creation as model, God is showing us the whole history of God’s salvation work of six thousand years.

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

    In the bible, even the numbers are also figurative and parabolic. For example, one day in the bible can represent one year prophetically. (Ezekiel 4:6) Likewise, prophetically one day can be read as “one thousand years”. In this sense, the Six Day Creation in Genesis represents “the Six Thousand Year’s Plan of God for our Salvation”.

    Let there be light
    Let Ther1e Be Light (Genesis 1:3)

    Day One: Let There Be Light

    Let There Be Light–This salvation work of God started with the creation of light in the time of Adam about six thousand years ago. The light God created on the first day was not the physical light or the sun that gives light to the day. But it was the spiritual light. Then what is the meaning of light?

    Paul explains the spiritual meaning of the Six Day Creation and let us know the meaning of the light. Then what is the light God created on the first day?

    2 Corinthians 4:4 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. 5 For what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake. 6 For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” (Genesis 1:3) made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.

    Paul says that the light shone into the world was symbolically “the light of the gospel” or “the light of the KNOWLEDGE of God’s glory”. Even though there were biological humans living on the earth even before Adam, spiritually they are not considered as “spiritual man”. It was because they did not have “knowledge” of God through “the gospel”.

    When God first appeared to Adam and gave his words (the spiritual light), finally the first man in the spiritual sense came into existence. From this first man Adam, God started his salvation work.

    Conclusion

    Let There Be Light–Up to the time of Adam, the whole world was under deep darkness without light. People did not have any knowledge of God and the words of God. They were living under a deep spiritual darkness. They were living their life like animals without the hope for the spiritual world.

    However, when finally God revealed his existence to Adam and Eve, the light of life and the light of God started to shone into the world through the gospel. From this moment, the Six Day Creation of God came to be known in the human society. And with the knowledge of God and his words as light, the human society started to wake up from the deep sleep and darkness.

    This was Day One of the creation work of God. And Day One expands from the time of Adam to the time of Noah for about 1656 years.

  • The End Of Age And Completion Of Creation Work

    It seems that speaking about the end of age today is a taboo which should not be mentioned in any circumstances and when someone or some organizations do they are considered as dangerous to the people living in peace and they are rejected as cult. If we think about the bible, however, we can see the prophets of God proclaiming the end time all throughout the bible. Even Jesus and the disciples who were taught by him preached the end time. Then should we consider them as cult too and reject them to be dangerous for us? We cannot. It is because they bible is in nature concerned about the end time.

    2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare.

    Again and again the bible warns us about the end of age, but what is important in these warnings are not the destruction itself, but the salvation which will be completed at the end.

    2 Peter 3:12   That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. 13 But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.

    Therefore, those who long for the kingdom of heaven must seriously consider about this end time and must look forward to the salvation completed at that time. And they also must make effort so that they would be saved at that time.

    Prophecies of the End Time in the Bible

    Eschatology should not be a taboo, but should be considered as part of the teachings of God. If Eschatology or the study of the end time or the day of judgment should be rejected as cult, Jesus also should be regarded as one including the disciples. Even God should be rejected because he proclaimed the end time always through the prophets of God.

    Ezekiel 7:5   Disaster! Unheard-of disaster! See, it comes! 6 The end has come! The end has come!

    Isaiah 66:16  For with fire and with his sword the Lord will execute judgment on all people, and many will be those slain by the Lord.

    Zephaniah 1:18  Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to save them on the day of the Lord’s wrath.”In the fire of his jealousy the whole earth will be consumed, For he will make a sudden end of all who live on the earth.

    What should we consider about all these prophecies of the end time? Should we dismiss them as cult? No, rather we should accept the eschatology as part of the bible. God gave these prophecies of the end time, not to intimidate us, but to give us chances to prepare the Day of Judgment so that we would receive salvation, not destruction on that day. In this sense, the prophecies of the end time should be actually recognized as essential part of the bible.

    destruction-of-the-earth
    Destruction of the Earth with fire

    These prophecies are important especially for us because we are actually living in the end time prophesied in the bible. Therefore, according to the teachings of God in the bible, now is the time for us to get prepared so that we would receive salvation rather than destruction. If we lose this chance given to us, we would not be given another one.

    A Prophetical Understanding of Time

    Then let us understand our time through the prophecies of the bible. Knowing the time frame they are living in is a prerequisite for salvation and we can see this through the words of Jesus 2000 years ago.

    2000 years ago to the Jews who had been suffering under the persecutions of Roman, the Savior they had long expected came to them. But the Jews did not recognize him and lost their chance for salvation. This happened mainly because they did not realize the time frame they were living.

    Luke 19:43     The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side. 44 They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of God’s coming to you.

    The main reason the destruction was proclaimed to them was because they did not know the time frame they were living and they rejected their God who came to them as man in the flesh to give them salvation. This is a warning given to us who are living in the last days. If we do not realize the time frame we are living we would make the same mistake and in turn we also will lost our chance for salvation. Then what is the time frame we are living in?

    To understand this first we should look at the concept of time in the bible. The prophetical time in the bible is different from the physical time we are living in. For example, a day physically is composed of 24 hours, but in the prophecies of the bible a day can be counted in a different way. First, in some cases a day can be considered as a year in some prophecies of the bible.

    Number 14:34   34 For forty years—one year for each of the forty days you explored the land—you will suffer for your sins and know what it is like to have me against you.

    Ezekiel 4:6   After you have finished this, lie down again, this time on your right side, and bear the sin of the people of Judah. I have assigned you 40 days, a day for each year.

    Through these two instances we can see the prophetical calculation of time is different from the ordinary time concept. Prophetically, one day can be considered as one year. And also one day can be considered as one thousand years in the prophecies of the bible.

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

    With these things in mind let us think about the prophetical end time or the last day.

    The End Time or the Last Day

    The end time is the period when God makes his judgment for the people who would be destroyed and grants salvation to his people who would enter the kingdom of heaven. About the salvation which would be completed at the last day, Jesus prophesied like this:

    John 6:40    For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.

    Then when is the last day? If we can find out the time frame for the last day, we can know the time frame we are living in. Then when is the last day? When would the work of God finish and complete his creation work? In the book of Genesis we can see the Six-Day Creation in which God created everything in six days and on the seventh day he took rest to commemorate the completion of his creation work.

    If we understand this creation work literally, we must understand that the creation work of God is over and nothing needs to be done. But this is untrue. Jesus who appeared way after the Six-Day Creation said that the work of God is not over yet.

    John 5:17    In his defense Jesus said to them, “My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am working.

    Through this he is teaching that the creation work of God is still in progress and it is not completed yet. We can see the same teaching in the Book of Hebrews too.

    Hebrews 4:3  And yet his works have been finished since the creation of the world. 4 For somewhere he has spoken about the seventh day in these words: “On the seventh day God rested from all his works.” 5 And again in the passage above he says, “They shall never enter my rest.” 6 Therefore since it still remains for some to enter that rest.

    While explaining about the Six-Day Creation, Paul teaches the creation work has not been completed yet. He says that the fact that there are still a rest which will be given to the people in the future reveals that the true day of rest or the seventh day has not come yet. Therefore, the Six-Day Creation in the Book of Genesis is not the physical creation work which was completed in the six days at the beginning.

    The Six-Day Creation was actually given as prophecies to teach us the completion of God’s creation work or salvation work. A day in the bible is calculated as a thousand years and through this we can see the Six-Day Creation is given to us to represent “the Six Thousand Years of God’s Salvation Work.” It means God will finish his salvation work in 6000 years just as he finished his creation work in 6 days and he will rest for a thousand years on the 7th millennium as we can see the day of rest given on the 7th day. The Book of Revelation which speaks about the last day shows this fact clearly by showing the rest of 1000 years after the 6000 years of salvation work.

    Revelation 20:6     Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years.

    The 1000 year rest after the salvation work is described as 1000 year reign of God’s people with Christ. Then when is the last day? To find the answer we must look at the Six-Day Creation. Creation work was done for six days and in this creation work the last day is the sixth day when God created Adam and Eve and finished his creation work. Therefore, the prophetical last day is the end of the Sixth Thousand years since a day is a thousand years in the bible. Then what we need to know is how many years has passed since the start of the creation work.

    The Span of Creation Work

    How much time has passed since the creation of Adam and Eve? If we can find the answer for this question we can know when the last day is. There is a very interesting chronological study of the bible to figure out the time span extending from the creation in Genesis to our time.

    SUMMARY OF THE TIME FROM ADAM TO JESUS 
    *  Adam to Abraham ……………… 1948 yrs *
    * Abraham to Egypt …………….. 290 yrs *
    * From Egypt to Moses: (X) Let X = 63 63 yrs *
    * X = (Kohath to Amram to Moses) *
    * Moses to the Exodus ………….. 80 yrs *
    * Exodus to death Joshua ……….. 70 yrs *
    * Judges to Samuel …………….. 450 yrs (Acts 13:20) *
    * Kings of Judah ………………. 513 yrs *
    * Babylonian Captivity …………. 586 B.C.E. *
    * ————— *
    * Adam to Jesus 4000 yrs

    Scholars have some different opinions, but largely they agree that the time span of the Old Testament from Adam to Jesus was about 4000 years. So about two thirds of the creation work had been spent before Christ’s coming and since his coming about 2000 years has passed until now 2016. So in total a little over six thousand years has passed since God started his creation work, which means we ARE living in the last day of the creation work, the Sixth Day.

    chronology-of-the-bible
    4000 years of the History of the Old Testament from Adam to Jesus

    Therefore, we can conclude that all the prophecies of the bible was actually given for us who are living in the last day or the sixth day. If that is the case, how can we dismiss the warnings of God lightly and say, “Oh, do not disturb my life with this kind of cultish nonsense.” We must remember the words of Jesus who proclaimed a judgment to the Jews because they did not realize the time frame they were living in. They were living in the time of salvation, but out of ignorance they rejected their Savior who came in the flesh.

    The Savior in the Last Day

    According to the bible who is the Savior in the last day? In the Six-Day Creation God created Adam and Eve on the last Sixth day. Then what is the prophetically meaning? According to the bible, Adam represent Christ or God the Father who came as man in the flesh.

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

    If Adam represents Christ, then who does Eve, the wife of Adam represent? Eve parabolically symbolize God the Mother, who is the wife of Christ who would appear at the last day to give salvation.

    Revelation 21:9    One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb (or the Christ).” 10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God.

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

    The Book of Revelation shows the Last Adam and Last Eve who would appear in the last day to give salvation of eternal life to God’s people. They appears in the last day to give the water of life or the eternal life.

    Revelation 22:17    The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.

    The Spirit and the Bride or the spiritual Adam and Eve comes and give the water of life or eternal life. This is the end of the creation work of God. To fulfill this prophecy the Holy Spirit Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother New Jerusalem appeared as the Last Adam and Eve to give us the water of life. Those who believe in the prophecies of the bible must recognize the time frame we are living in and come to the Spirit and the Bride for the water of life.

    creation-of-adam-and-eve
    What is the meaning of the creation of Adam and Eve at the last day of the creation?

    Conclusion

    We are living literally in the last day when God finishes his creation work by completing his salvation work.

    Genesis 1:26   26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

    On the sixth day or the last day, God created Adam and Eve and gave them mission to rule over animals. Prophetically, Adam and Eve are the Spirit and the Bride, and the animals are Gentiles who are to be led by the Spirit and Bride to receive salvation, which completes the creation work.

    The Spirit and the Bride are calling us to come to receive the water of life.

  • [WMSCOG] Six Day Creation: Introduction

    [WMSCOG] Six Day Creation: Introduction

    Meaning of Six Day Creation
    Creation of Adam

    The Meaning  Of Six Day Creation–The first chapter of the Book of Genesis speaks about the creation work of God and many people dismiss this chapter because scientifically or realistically many parts of the chapter do not match one another and do not make sense even in terms of the common senses.

    Figurative and Parabolic Meaning In Genesis

    Then what causes problems in understanding this Book of Genesis? God is perfect, and thus his words must be perfect. But why are there so many misunderstandings about the book? The problem is that the book just like all other books of the bible cannot be understood with common sense of man because it is intrinsically written in a figurative language.

    Matthew 13:34   Jesus spoke all these things to the crowd in parables; he did not say anything to them without using a parable. 35 So was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophet: “I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden since the creation of the world.”

    The Meaning  Of Six Day Creation–What Jesus did 2000 years ago was to reveal the hidden things since the creation of the world. But since the creation of the world is recorded in the Book of Genesis, it means the Book of Genesis contains hidden things that must be revealed. It means the book cannot be understood in the literal sense, but must be understood in a figurative sense. In other words, just like all other words of God in the bible the book itself is a parable. Then how should we understand the book?

    Some Obvious Contradictions in the Book of Genesis

    Creation of Light

    First, let us think about some of the contradicting parts in the book when it was interpreted literally. The most conflicting part is the day one and the day four when God is creating the light. In the Day One, God created light:

    Genesis 1:3   And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.”

    The Meaning  Of Six Day Creation–What is the light that gives light to day? It is the sun. Therefore, if we understand this Day one literally, we must say God created the sun on the first day. But in Day Four, God created another sun which does not make sens at all in the physical term.

    Genesis 1:16    God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars.

    The Meaning  Of Six Day Creation–Logically, what would be “the greater light to govern the day” which was created by God on the fourth day? Isn’t it the sun? Then are there two suns in our solar system? Scientifically, it is false to say there are two suns in the solar system. That is why people say that the creation in Genesis does not make sense at all.

    The True Meaning of Light

    Then how should we understand this? We must interpret the book figuratively. Then what is the light which was created on the first day? About this Paul let us know the figurative meaning behind it.

    2 Corinthians 4:6    For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.

    The Meaning  Of Six Day Creation–Paul quotes from the verse 3 of Genesis Chapter 1 and explains the meaning of the light. The light created on the first day is the light of the knowledge of God or the light of gospel that shone on the heart of people who accepted the gospel. Before the creation the world was in the complete darkness and there was no knowledge of God at that moment.
    But for the first time in human history, to Adam and Eve God revealed himself and let them know the true God who could give salvation through the knowledge of God. That knowledge of God that gives salvation appeared for the first time to human being and it was described as light figuratively. Also the light which was created on Day Four is also figurative lights. Then what are the lights that was created on the fourth day?

    Psalm 119:105   Your word is a lamp for my feet,
    a light on my path.

    What is the light in a figurative sense? It is the words of God. So on the fourth day, what was created God were actually two words of God: the Old Testament in the time of Moses and the New Testament in the time of Jesus.

    Creation of Mankind

    The Meaning  Of Six Day Creation–Let us take a look at another example which cannot be understood in the worldly viewpoint. The first man created by God were Adam and Eve and later they had sons, Cain and Abel. Out of hatred Cain killed Abel and at that moment, logically how many people should exist on the earth? Three, Adam, Eve and Cain. But right after Cain killed Abel, he was banished from the place he was living. But he was afraid of PEOPLE that might kill him when he left his hometown.

    Genesis 4:13     Cain said to the Lord, “My punishment is more than I can bear. 14 Today you are driving me from the land, and I will be hidden from your presence; I will be a restless wanderer on the earth, andwhoever finds me will kill me.”

    There should be only three of them at that moment, but surprisingly there are many living around them and after this verse Cain surprises us again by marrying a woman that should never be there at that moment.

    Genesis 4:17    Cain made love to his wife, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch.

    The Meaning  Of Six Day Creation–Where is his wife from? Through all these things what we can understand is there were people living around the three of them already. The earth was not empty of people at the moment, but the bible itself shows that there were many people living around Adam and Eve. Then who were their contemporaries? Why are they not included the creation work of God? Why does the bible describe only Adam and his family as man, not others?

     How to Correctly Understand Genesis

    Figurative Meaning Of Mankind

    To understand this mystery we must understand the figurative meaning behind the word ‘man’ in the bible. Biologically many people were living on this earth at the time, but spiritually only three of them were considered as man in the eyes of God. Then who are man spiritually? Man are those who have the knowledge of God. When God shone his light, it was shone to Adam and his family and they came to have the knowledge of God. And they were considered as man spiritually.
    Then what about other people who did not have the knowledge of God who did not receive the light of gospel at the moment? They were not man in the spiritual sense? Then what were they? Jesus compares them to a pig or dog. In other words they are considered as animals in God’s eyes. When Peter saw a sheet that contained a lot of different unclean animals in a vision, he interpreted the meaning like this:

    Acts 11:18    When they heard this, they had no further objections and praised God, saying, “So then, even to Gentiles God has granted repentance that leads to life.”

    Man and Animal

    The Meaning  Of Six Day Creation–Those unclean animals or Gentiles also could receive the words of God and came to have the knowledge of God as Jews. When they have the light of knowledge of God, the animals could be changed into man and accepted as man. So those people who were living along with Adam and Eve could not be categorized as man in those days since they were not allowed to have the knowledge of God like Adam and Eve. These are just a few examples from the book, and actually all the contents of the book must be understood figuratively. Then how can we understand the book?

     Figurative Explanation About Six Day Creation

    The Six-Day Creation in the book is 6000 years of God’s salvation work in the spiritual sense. The bible teaches a day can be calculated as a 1000 years so according to this system 6 days are actually 6000 years. Then when was the starting point? It was the moment when God revealed himself to Adam and Eve. When he revealed his identity to man for the first time in human history, that was the moment he started his salvation work. So according to this creation work, the sixth day is the last day when God finished his work.
    The spiritual meaning is that God will work for the salvation for 6000 years from the time of Adam and he will finish his work of salvation after 6000 years. Therefore, we can say that Chapter 1 of Genesis is actually the blueprint for God’s salvation work and he was fulfilling all the creation work according to this plan.

    Six Day Creation as Contents of the Bible

    We can confirm this through the words of Prophet Isaiah.

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

    The Meaning  Of Six Day Creation–He already foretold the end even from the beginning and therefore if we want to know about the end of God’s salvation work we must take a look at the beginning. Then what book is concerned with the beginning? It is the Book of Genesis. The book was a plan for God’s salvation and God is working according to his plan in the book of Genesis. Then let us find out the meanings of each day one by one so that we can understand the true meaning behind the book. And we can be sure that the Spirit and the Bride are actually our Savior who is coming in the last day of the creation, Our Father and Our Mother.
    All these teachings are coming from God Ahnsahnhong and Our Mother Heavenly Jerusalem. Let us give thanks to God Elohim for giving us the light of the knowledge of God to us Gentiles who were like animals and and making us man who can receive salvation.
  • [WMSCOG] When Would God The Mother Appear?

    [WMSCOG] When Would God The Mother Appear?

    Who is our Savior in our time? The bible prophesies that God the Mother would appear to give salvation. Let us first look at the teaching of Christ. Jesus said that the bible is the book given to us to teach us the Christ or Savior who was to come to give us salvation. Therefore, we must realize the Savior through the bible.

    John 5:39 You study] the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me, 40 yet you refuse to come to me to have life.

    Jesus Christ and Bible Prophecies

    The bible is the book that testifies about the Christ. It let us know when he would come, in what form he would come, what kind of sign he would bring so that we can recognize him, where he would come… All these things are already recorded in the bible as prophecies and they have been accomplished at God’s appointed times exactly as it was recorded in the bible. If we take a look at Christ’s coming 2000 years, He appeared fulfilling all the prophecies of the bible such as his coming as Adam, Moses, David.

    He was born at Bethlehem according to the prophecy and he was raised at Galilee according to the prophecy. Even from the beginning to the end his life itself was the fulfillment of all the prophecies of the bible. Even his sacrifice itself was done according to the bible. When God came down to this earth in a human form, he could have been feared and worshiped by people. But in reality he was rejected, hated, and crucified and all these happened to fulfill the prophecies of the bible.

    Prophecies of the Appearance of God the Mother

    Then how about our Mother’s appearance on this earth? Our Mother’s appearance is also recorded in the bible. God the Mother who was to come as Christ in a female form is also recorded in the bible and it would be fulfilled at God’s appointed time. Therefore, we must understand the prophecies of the bible to recognize our Savior who is coming as woman on this earth.

    Those who did not understand the prophecies of the bible rejected Christ Jesus and they could not receive salvation. It is the same with Christ Ahnsahnghong and our Mother who would appears as Christ as male and female in the last days. If we do not recognize them just because they appeared as man in the flesh, we would not receive salvation. Then let us take a look at one prophecy about Mother and find out when she was to appear according to the prophecies of the bible.

    Secrets Hidden in Genesis

    The Book of Genesis speaks about the creation work of God. But if we tried to interpret the six-day creation literally, many of the things does not make sense. Many scientist says that the modern human first appeared about 200,000 years ago, but the bible says the first man Adam appeared 6000 years ago. How about the animals? Animals were created far earlier than human beings. Scientifically even some dinosaur appeared around 200 million years ago. That is why people says the bible is not true and has many errors. All these misunderstanding arise because people failed to understand that the bible is written in figurative language and thus it cannot be understand in a literal sense. If the six-day creation is not describing a fact, then what is the meaning behind it? How can we understand the true meaning?

    How to Understand Genesis

    Since the bible is composed by its own inherent characteristics, we must use the bible itself to understand its meaning. Since symbolic meaning of a certain object varies depending on the literary work it is used, it must be understood by studying the work itself and we cannot get the true meaning of the symbol if we try to find the meaning from outside the work. It is the same with the bible. The bible has its own symbolic system and thus it could be understood correctly when we try to find the answer from inside the bible.

    Meaning of the Six-Day Creation

    Therefore, the six-day creation must be understood by comparing other verses of the bible, not through sources from outside. Then what is the six-day creation? How should we understand this? First, we must understand that the concept of time is different from everyday concept of time in the bible. For example, one day in the bible could be understood as one year according to a context.

    Ezekiel 4:6   “After you have finished this, lie down again, this time on your right side, and bear the sin of the people of Judah. I have assigned you 40 days, a day for each year.

    Numbers 14:34   For forty years—one year for each of the forty days you explored the land—you will suffer for your sins and know what it is like to have me against you.

    Through this we can understand that a day can be considered as one year in the prophecies of the bible. Also one day can be calculated as one thousand years in the bible.

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

    God’s Plan for Salvation in Genesis

    The bible says that a day can be considered as 1000 years in the eyes of God. Then what is the six-day creation? It can be thought as 6 year creation work or 6000 years of creation work. Then which is correct? After the creation work is over, God took rest on the 7th day. If it is just 6 year creation work, then all of us must be in the eternal rest in heaven. But we are still hear on this earth.

    Through this we can understand the six-day creation, actually represent six thousand years of God’s creation work. Then when did the creation work start? It started from the Book of Genesis which goes back to the time of Adam about six thousand years ago. Then when does the creation work end? It is on the sixth day when God created Adam and Eve. Adam and Eve was the last creation of God and he finished all the work he had been doing and took rest on the seventh day.

    Meaning of the Creation of Adam

    Then who does Adam represent?

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

    Prophetically, Adam was created to teach us “the one to come” or Christ who was to come. That was partly fulfilled by Christ who came as Adam to give us life.

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

    Jesus came as opposite pattern of first Adam to give us life. And he gave us his flesh and blood to give us ‘life’ through the Passover of the new covenant.

    Second Coming Christ Appearing as Last Adam

    But according to the prophecies of the bible the same Jesus who appeared as Adam 2000 years ago must appear as Adam at the end of the creation work of God because God created Adam on the six-day or in other words the last day of the creation work. Then why should Adam appear for the second time in the last days? It was because some of the prophecies of the bible about Adam was not fulfilled completely 2000 years ago. Then what prophecy was not fulfilled? It can be found in another creation work of God on the sixth day, that is, Eve. Eve was also created on the sixth day.

    Genesis 2:22   Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.

    Creation of Eve

    How was Eve created? She was created with Adam’s rib bone and some flesh around the bone. That is why Adam said about Eve that she is his bone and flesh. In other words, Eve was Adam’s flesh and blood. (Since blood is produced by the marrow inside bones, bones can signify the blood.) So the reality of Adam’s flesh and blood was Eve. But when Jesus came as Adam 2000 years ago, he did not reveal Eve.

    What is the meaning of the creation of Eve?

    It was not the appointed time of God for Eve to be revealed and that is why Jesus simply gave his disciples bread and wine of the Passover which represented his flesh and blood which was given as temporary measure for the salvation until the day when the true reality of Adam’s flesh and blood be revealed to give life to the children. Eve, Adam’s true flesh and blood means life semantically. A Latin word Eve which was originated from a Hebrew word Hawwah originally means living being or life. So the reality of life Jesus wanted to reveal through the Passover was the Last Eve who could give eternal life to the children.

    Last Adam and Last Eve

    In the last days, when Adam is coming again, he must come with his true flesh and blood, that is, his wife Eve. The Book of Revelation which speaks about the end of the creation work of God teaches us that the second coming Christ is coming with his wife. That is, Adam and his wife Eve are appearing together in the last days.

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

    The Lamb is Christ who is coming as Adam in the last days, and finally his bride is also coming together. Then what is the purpose of their coming together? To give us eternal life.

    Revelations 22:17  17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.

    Eternal Life through God the Mother

    They are coming together to give the water of life or eternal life. According to this prophecy or all other prophecies, our Mother must appear as the wife of the Lamb our Father and She will give us the eternal life just as physical mother gives life to children. That is why Hawwah or life must appear in the last days to fulfill the prophecies of the bible.

    Now as fulfillment of all the prophecies of the bible Christ Ahnsahnghong our Father came as the Last Adam and He revealed to us his true flesh and blood, the Last Eve our Mother who can give us eternal life. She is the last mystery in the bible that we must know to receive salvation. Jesus said these are the Scriptures that testifies about me. The bible is the book that teaches us the Christ or God coming as man in the flesh. But the same bible teaches that in the last days God will appear as both man and woman, as Father and Mother to give us life. Let us accept Adam and Eve who came to give us life. Amen.
