    [WMSCOG] Prophecies Of Christ Coming For The Second Time

    Christ in Greek and Messiah in Hebrew means the same thing, that is, “the Anointed One.” If you look at the history of Israel, three types of people could be anointed with holy oil, namely, the king, the high priest, and the prophet.

    Anointing Ceremony and its Meaning

    Exodus 29:7 Take the anointing oil and anoint him by pouring it on his head.

    Aaron was anointed in this way to be the high priest. When a person was anointed, the anointing oil was poured on his head during the ceremony. After this ceremony, he could do the work assigned to him as king, or high priest, or a prophet. This anointing ceremony has a significant meaning behind it. Since the person was chosen by God, when the chosen one was anointed, God gave his Spirit to the person so that he can have power to fulfill the mission given to him.

    1 Samuel 10:1 Then Samuel took a flask of oil and poured it on Saul’s head and kissed him, saying, “Has not the LORD anointed you leader over his inheritance?”…..”The Spirit of the LORD will come upon you in power, and you will prophesy with them; and you will be changed into a different person.” …. As Saul turned to leave Samuel, God changed Saul’s heart, and all these signs were fulfilled that day. When they arrived at Gibeah, a procession of prophets met him; the Spirit of God came upon him in power, and he joined in their prophesying.

    When Saul was anointed, he received the power of the Spirit of God given to him to lead and save the Israelites from their enemies around.

    Spiritual Fulfillment of Anointing

    Just like all the Old Testament regulations, this anointing ceremony has its own reality. This regulation was given to teach us the true “Anointed One” who is coming as King, High Priest, and Prophet which was fulfilled by Jesus by being anointed to work as king, prophet, and high priest. Spiritually Jesus got anointed by baptism and received the Spirit of God.

    Luke 4:18  The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor.

    The moment he got baptized, the heaven opened and the Spirit of God came down upon him like a dove. At this moment he was anointed by God to be the King like David, the Prophet like Moses, and the High Priest like Melchizedek.

    Luke 1:31  He will be great and called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David

    He was anointed to be spiritual King David, and also,

    Acts 3:22 For Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own people; you must listen to everything he tells you.

    He was anointed to be spiritual Prophet Moses, and again,

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

    Here we can see he was anointed to be the High Priest like Melchizedek.

    The Second Coming Christ

    Therefore, the Christ or the Messiah means God himself coming as man in the flesh and getting anointed to be King to rule over Israel by establishing his kingdom, and to be Prophet to teach the true words of God to his people, and finally to be the High Priest to mediate between God and his people so that people can receive the forgiveness of their sins and to be cleansed from all the impurities.

    To fulfill the prophecies of the Old Testament, Christ came down to this earth as man in the flesh even though he was God in heaven. The same bible says that he would come again as Christ, that is, as the Anointed One to be anointed again by coming down to this earth in the flesh.

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

    Just as he appeared for the first time as man in the flesh, he will appear a second time as man in the flesh and we call it this as “the Second Coming of Christ.” Many people misunderstand about his second coming and say that he would come with all the spiritual glory of God. But that is not true. The day when God is coming with his spiritual glory is the Day of Judgment, but according to the bible before the Day of Judgment, God must come as man in the flesh again to gather his people and teach them the truth so that they would know the will of God and follow the will of God to be saved on the Day of Judgment.

    If God come as judge to make a final judgment for the people of the world, there would be no one to be saved in the last days.

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

    This means when he comes for the second time in the last day, he would not be able to find any faith or anyone who truly believe in God. (ERV) In this situation if Jesus is coming as Judge, who would be saved? No one. That is why he must come as Anointed One for the second time to, establish God’s kingdom, to teach his people, and to mediate between God and his people so people of God who would have no faith in God could be forgiven of their sins and they could return to God so that there would be a reconciliation between God and his people. About this Messiah coming who can bring the reconciliation, Prophet Malachi writes:

    Malachi 4:5  See, I will send the prophet Elijah to you before that great and dreadful day of the LORD comes. 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.

    Without this reconciliation the land which means this earth and everything in it including human beings will be completely destroyed. That is why to save his people for the coming destruction, God must come back now as the prophet like Elijah to teach his people the truth and to bring the hearts of people to God. About his second coming, Jesus testified like this:

    John 14:15  If you love me, keep my commands. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate (Counselor) to help you and be with you forever–the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.

    The advocate–in original Greek version, Parakletos (παράκλητος) or Counselor–is Jesus himself. This means he is coming as Counselor for the second time. Then what is the purpose of his coming? To make judgment and to bring destruction to the earth?

    John 14:26 But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.

    What is the purpose of the coming of the Counselor? To teach and remind us of everything Jesus taught us. Then why should he come again and remind us again? It is because we must have forgotten the teachings he gave us so we must learn things one more time. That is why in Luke he said that he would not be able to see any faith on the earth when he comes back again. People would forget the teachings of Christ and have lost faith in him. That is why before the Day of Judgment he would come again to teach us and to remind us his teachings and to restore the faith toward him for the second time.

    Melchizedek, the Anointed One as High priest

    Conclusion

    Through all these prophecies of the bible we can be sure that he would come back again as man in the flesh to teach us and to bring the reconciliation between God and his people. But he already warned that many will not accept him. If Jesus would appear in the full spiritual glory of God, everybody will accept him. But he already foretold that people will not accept him. Then why? Just as people rejected Jesus just because he appeared as man in the flesh even though he was God himself, people will reject him again because he would appear as man in the flesh for the second time. About his second coming Jesus also prophesied:

    Luke 17:24 For the Son of Man in his day will be like the lightning, which flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other. But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

    While teaching about his second coming, Jesus gave this words and he said that he would suffer and be rejected by the people of the generation. If he appears with full glory of God, who would reject Jesus? The reason He should be rejected by people in his second coming is because he is coming as an Anointed One or as man in the flesh for the second time. He must come back again as High Priest Melchizedek, Prophet Elijah, King David.

    That is why we must have spiritual eyes through the bible to know the true identity of Christ hidden behind his physical appearance.

  • Those Who Are Waiting For The Christ

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

    I have already come

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

     

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

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

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

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

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

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

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