    The Prophecies of God

    It is agreed by most people, whether they are believers or not, that the bible is the best-selling book ever written in the world. Why is the bible so popular among people? It is because the bible contains the many prophecies about the world and human beings in it.

    God’s Plan for the End of the Age

    The End of Age Hidden in the Creation of the World

    The bible is the book of prophecies. Also, as we can see through the prophecies of Daniel and Revelation, those prophecies have come true. And that is why we should believe the words of God in the bible. God teaches us that all the words in the bible are prophecies of God.

    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 Plan of God and the Plan of Man

    This means that God already planned the end of the world even when he created this world. And he recorded his plan in the bible in the form of prophecies. Some might say that we can make a plan and make it come true. Then are we God too? There is essential differences between the plan of God and that of man. The plan of man can change as time goes by. But the plan of God never changes. I will be surely done as he has planned without any fail.

    Isaiah 14:24 The Lord Almighty has sworn, “Surely, as I have planned, so it will be, and as I have purposed, so it will happen.

    When we look back on the prophecies of the bible, we can confirm that the word of God are absolute prophecies that are being fulfilled at God’s appointed time. God make it sure that he would fulfill everything according to the words of God in the bible.

    Matthew 5:18  “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.

    God’s Intention Contained in the Prophecies

    Discerning God and Idols Through the Prophecies

    There are a couple of things that God intends to achieve Through the fulfillment of the prophecies of the bible. First, God wants us to distinguish what is true and what is false. Today, people believe in so many different things. It is mainly because they do not know how to distinguish truth from falsehood.

    God gave us the prophecies that we may know the true God through the prophecies and their fulfillment.

    Isaiah 41:21 “Present your case,” says the Lord. “Set forth your arguments,” says Jacob’s King. “Tell us, you idols, what is going to happen. Tell us what the former things were, so that we may consider them and know their final outcome. Or declare to us the things to come, tell us what the future holds, so we may know that you are gods. Do something, whether good or bad, so that we will be dismayed and filled with fear. But you are less than nothing and your works are utterly worthless; whoever chooses you is detestable.

    As we can see through the examples of mediums, spiritists, sorcerers, etc. in the bible, there are many people who claim to believe in gods and tell prophecies given by those gods. However, the difference between those gods and God the Almighty is that the words of God are absolute and be fulfilled surely at God’s appointed time. The words of the prophets of the idols are not. God is giving the signs and prophecies that we recognize who the true God is.

    Faith in God Through the Prophecies

    Second, God gives us prophecies that we may have faith in God. Some people think that God performs miraculous things and tells prophecies to reveal the power and authority of God. However, this is not the essential reason for prophecies. What God really wants to teach us through the prophecies is our faith to God.

    God wants us to have absolute faith in God. To instill the faith in us God chose prophecies and the words of God.

    John 14:29 I have told you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe.

    The glory of God and the salvation of God is in the words. God created the heavens and earth through His Word and the same Word of God accomplishes the last purpose of God, salvation of souls. Therefore, without absolute faith in the words of God, we cannot be saved. That is why to give us complete faith in the words God gave us prophecies. We can trust the words of God and obey them when we see the prophecies and the fulfillment.

    Conclusion

    Now has come the end of the six thousand years of God’s salvation work. God has appeared as the Spirit and the Bride and seeking those who have faith in the words of God. We should diligently study the words of God in the bible that we can have firm faith in the Spirit and the Bride who fulfilled all the prophecies of the bible.

  • God The Mother: In The Book Of Revelation

    God The Mother: In The Book Of Revelation

    God the Mother in Revelation–We have been searching for the evidences of God the Mother from Genesis all throughout the bible. Now we have come to the end of the bible, that is, the the Book of Revelation. As it is known, this Book of Revelation is concerned about the last day when Jesus is coming for the second time to give us the salvation, eternal life. In this book, God clearly let us know how to receive the water of life, eternal life.

    The Water of Life from the Heavenly Jerusalem

    God the Mother in Revelation–2000 years ago, Jesus said, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” (John 4:13) It was because he was the source of the water of life, or the eternal life. That is why those who wanted to receive the water of life must come to Jesus for the living water.

    But in the book of Revelation, which is concerned about the last day when the creation work of God is finished by giving salvation to his people, God let us know that it is God the Mother who can give us the water of life, 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.

    According to this prophecy, the eternal life is coming from the Spirit and the Bride. Then who are the Spirit and the Bride then? Commonsensically, it is only God who can give us the water of Life and therefore, we can say they must be God. Many Christians says the brides are the church in this book, but it is not true. How can God’s people grant eternal life to each other?

    First, who is the Spirit? The uppercase Spirit represent God the Father or the Second Coming Christ who would appear in the last day for our salvation. (Hebrews 9:28) But since Christ is represented as Adam spiritually, the bride of Christ or Adam must be the spiritual Eve, who is the mother of all the living. (Genesis 3:20) Then who is this bride of Jesus who is coming to give us the water of life? Where is she coming from?

    The Bride of Jesus, Heavenly Jerusalem

    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.” 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.

    What is the New Jerusalem coming down from heaven in the last days as the bride of Christ?

    God the Mother in Revelation–In the vision, John was supposed to be shown the bride of the Lamb (or the Second Coming Jesus Christ) by the angel, but what was actually shown was the Heavenly City Jerusalem, which would come down from heaven in the last day. If we take a further look at the description of the city, it is represented as a cube, “a square as long as it was wide.” (Revelation 21:16) The only thing in the Temple of God which is shaped like a cube is the Most Holy Place of the temple.

    Since the earthly temple established by Moses was a copy and shadow of the temple in heaven which was the reality. (Hebrews 8:5) And as we have already seen before, the reality of temple which was in heaven was not actually a building, but the Christ. (John 2:19) Therefore, we can conclude the heavenly Most Holy Place of the temple must be also fulfilled by a Christ, or God who is coming as man in the flesh and putting the Spirit of God in the body of the temple.

    To understand the Christ, let us study the earthly temple a little. The earthly temple was mainly made up of two different rooms: the outer room and the inner room. The outer room was called the Holy Place; and the inner room, the Most Holy Place. And the Throne of God was placed in the Most Holy Place and on that throne God was enthroned in Spirit between the cherubim. And between the outer room and inner room was a curtain to separate them from each other.

    This structure of the physical temple was given to us to teach us the invisible and spiritual temple in Heaven, that is, Christ. According to the bible, Jesus was represented as the outer room and curtain which was separating the inner room from the outer room. By the destruction of his body of temple and curtain through his crucifixion 2000 years ago, he destroyed the outer room and the curtain so that the way to the Most Holy Place would be open and God’s people enter into the Most Holy Place to receive the water of life from God.

    The Reality of the Most Holy Place, God the Mother

    Matthew 27:51  At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split 52 and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life.

    God the Mother in Revelation–Through his death and piercing of his body on the cross, Jesus could destroy the Holy Place and the curtain which were concealing the Most Holy Place. Through his destruction of the body of temple, he could open the way to the inner room.

    Hebrews 10:19  Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body.

    Through this we can clearly see the Holy Place was the body of Christ Jesus, or God the Father. When God the Father came as man in the flesh, he was the reality of the Holy Place of the temple. Then who is the reality of the Most Holy Place? The bible says the Heavenly Jerusalem is the reality of the Most Holy Place. Then who is the Holy City Jerusalem coming down from heaven from God. About this heavenly Jerusalem Paul testifies like this:

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

    Paul let us know the reality of the Heavenly Jerusalem, the Most Holy Place and he says the Heavenly Jerusalem or the Jerusalem above (or in heaven) is Our Mother. Who is our Father in heaven? God the Father. Then who is our Mother above in heaven? God the Mother.

    What is the reality of the Most Holy Place of the Jerusalem Temple?

    When Paul saw this Heavenly Jerusalem, she was in heaven; but when John saw this heavenly Jerusalem, she was coming down out of heaven to this earth. Then what is the meaning of the prophecy? 2000 years Jesus (God the Father) who was the reality of the Holy Place of the temple came as man wiith a physical body and put the Spirit of God in him just like the temple. In the same way, according to this vision, in the last day, God the Mother would appear as woman with a physical body to give us the salvation of eternal life.

    Conclusion

    God the Mother in Revelation–Through all these prophecies and more, God teaches us that we must know God the Mother in the last day to receive the water of life, eternal life. To fulfill these prophecies of the bible God the Mother, who is the reality of the Most Holy Place, came down to this earth as man in the flesh. She is call us to come to Her, the true source of the water of life.

    Come to the Spirit Christ Ahnsahnghong and his Bride God the Mother to receive the eternal life and be the child of God. God is earnestly calling everybody to come for salvation. Come to the World Mission Society Church fo God.
