    [WMSCOG] Passover The Tree Of Life

    Secrets Hidden In Parable

    Passover The Tree Of Life–The Book of Genesis contains many secrets and mysteries in it. People who do not know how to read the bible try to understand and interpret Genesis literally. And in the end they come to distort the words of God. Then how should we understand and interpret the Book of Genesis? The bible gives enough information for us to know the meaning of all the parables in the bible.

    2000 years ago, Jesus came down to us and taught how to understand the Book of Genesis. Therefore, to understand the book first we have look at the words of God in the bible.

    Jesus’ Teachings: The Key To Understand The Parable

    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.”

    Passover The Tree Of Life–The bible says that all the words of God in the bible are composed of many parables. In this sense, the bible itself is a huge construction of figurative language. The problem of the figurative language is, however, that sometimes it can cause misunderstandings since it can be interpreted in many different ways. Therefore, to know the intended meaning of the parable, we must have knowledge about the intention of the maker of the parable. In the case of the bible we have to know the intention of God in the parable since God gave us the book. (Isaiah 34:16)

    Since it is impossible to know the thoughts of God with our human understanding (Isaiah 55:8), Jesus, who is God himself, came down to us. And He gave us the teachings of God directly that we may understand the meanings of the parable. And we can interpret the bible correctly.

    The Tree Of Life In Genesis

    The First Sin And the Death Through Sin

    Passover The Tree Of Life–Jesus taught us many things about the hidden secrets and mysteries of the bible. However, today let us study one teaching of Jesus, the tree of life. What is the tree of life? What is the hidden secret behind this parable?

    Let us first look at the parable of the tree of life in the Book of Genesis. In the Book of Romans, Paul says that sin entered the world through Adam and the death through sin. (Romans 5:12) Adam did not obey the words of God. He committed sin by practicing the lawlessness. (1John 3:4) God commanded him not to eat from “the tree of the knowledge of good and evil”. However, Adam and Eve practiced the lawlessness and ate from the tree.

    Because of this disobedience or sin, the death came to them. And they were destined to die. However, if we read the Book of Genesis, there was a way for them to have eternal life despite their sin and the death sentence in the wake.

    Eternal Life For The Sinners

    Genesis 3:22 And the Lord God said, “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.”

    Passover The Tree Of Life–Even though they were destined to die because of their sin, there was a way for the sinners to live forever. If only they could eat from the tree of life, they could have eternal life. However, God did not allow them to eat from the tree of life.

    Genesis 3:23 So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. 24 After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.

    God set a flaming sword and cherubim on guard to keep the sinners from eating the tree of life. Since they could not eat from the tree of life, the eternal life was taken away from them. And they lamented as Paul said, “What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?” (Romans 7:24)

    This story of sin and death is not just a story of Adam and Eve. Actually, this is the story of all the human beings on this earth who is living as slaves of sin and death. (Romans 5:12)

    The Interpretation On The Parable Of Tree Of Life

    The Figurative Language That Contains Secrets

    Passover The Tree Of Life–This is the story of the tree of life in the Book of Genesis. We cannot interpret the story literally. Can we pinpoint the physical location of the Garden of Eden somewhere on this earth? And is there the entrance of the garden guarded by a flaming sword and cherubim? And in the middle of the garden do you think we can see the tree of life that we may eat and live forever? Definitely not.

    The bible says there are “things hidden” or secrets in this story of the tree of life in the Book of Genesis. It means we cannot interpret Genesis in the literal sense. Rather, we have to know the hidden meaning behind this story. Then what is the tree of life? How can we eat it and live forever? To find the answer for these questions we should look at the teachings of Jesus Christ.

    The Tree Of Life In The Teachings Of Jesus

    Passover The Tree Of Life–2000 years ago, God himself came down to this earth in the name of Jesus. He wanted to reveal “things hidden since the creation of the world.” The very first thing he revealed through his teaching was the parable of the tree of life. He wanted to let us know the reality of the tree of life for our salvation of eternal life. Then what is the true tree of life we should eat to live forever?

    John 6:53 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.

    What should a sinner eat to live forever in the Garden of Eden? The tree of life. In this teaching of Jesus what should a sinner eat to live forever? Jesus’ flesh and blood. Then what is the reality of the tree of life? It is none other than the flesh and blood of Jesus. What God wanted to teach us through the parable of the tree of life in Genesis was that a sinner living on this earth must eat Jesus’ flesh and blood to live forever or to have eternal life.

    The Way To Eat Christ’s Flesh And Blood

    Passover The Tree Of Life–We come to know the reality of the tree of life, Christ’s flesh and blood. Then the next question is how to eat Christ’s flesh and blood. As I told you, we should not interpret the bible literally. Jesus’ flesh and blood must be a parable too.

    When he gave this teaching, those who understood his teaching literally rejected him and turned away from him. They could not receive the salvation through the tree of life.

    John 6:60-66  On hearing it, many of his disciples said, “This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?”…..66 From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him.

    However, Jesus’ disciples patiently waited for Jesus to teach them how to eat his flesh and blood. And they could eat the tree of life and live forever. Therefore, we should also open our spiritual eyes. Or we may make the same mistakes as Jews and lose our share of the tree of life. Then how can we eat the tree of life to live forever.

    Passover the Reality of the Tree Of Life

    Passover The Tree Of Life–Then what is the way we can eat Jesus’ flesh and blood?

    Matthew 26:17 On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?” 18 He replied, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, ‘The Teacher says: My appointed time is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.’” 19 So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.

    On the night of the Passover, he gave his disciples a precious teaching. He taught them how to eat from the tree of life. Also he taught them what the way is they could eat his flesh and blood.

    Matthew 26:26 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.” 27 Then he took a cup (wine), and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 28 This is my blood of the[b] covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

    On the night of the Passover, Jesus taught his disciples of the way to eat his flesh and blood. He took the Passover bread and sealed it as his flesh with his own promise. In the same way, he sealed the Passover wine as his blood. Therefore, by keeping the Passover, we can eat his flesh and drink his blood. Consequently, through the Passover, we can eat the tree of life to live forever.

    Abolishment and Restoration Of The Passover

    Passover The Tree Of Life–The saints of the early church kept the Passover of the new covenant according to the teachings of Christ. (1Corinthians 5:7) However, Satan worked against the Passover and abolished it. It attempted to abolish the Passover many times in the history of Christianity, first in A.D. 155 and 197. Finally, in the Council of Nicaea in 325, the Passover was completely abolished and disappeared from the world.

    For this reason, the bible says that the Christ would come for the second time to give us salvation.

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

    To fulfill this prophecy, Christ appeared to us for the second time in the name of Christ Ahnsahnghong. He restored the Passover of the new covenant for our salvation. Once the way to the tree of life was hidden, but now it is open to us again. Now let us keep the Passover of the new covenant with a joyful and thankful mind for the salvation Christ gave us for the second time.

    [GOD THE MOTHER] The Way To Life In Heaven

    The Way To Life God the Mother

    The Way of Life God the Mother–Whatever was done by Christ 2000 years ago was given to us as example.

    John 13:15  I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.

    Therefore, Apostles of Jesus teaches us that we must follow the teachings of Jesus as they followed them.

    1 Corinthians 11:1 Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.

    The Example of Jesus About The Way Of Life

    The Way of Life God the Mother–Then what kind of example Jesus taught us about the way of life. We all want to receive the eternal life in heaven. To know the way of life, we also must follow the example of Jesus.

    John 14:6 Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.

    Jesus said that He is the way, which means we can get to our destination the kingdom of heaven by following the examples of Jesus. Therefore, the Apostles who followed the examples Jesus taught says that there is a way of life that we must follow to receive the eternal life.

    Hebrews 6:19 We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, 20 where our forerunner, Jesus, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.

    Jesus as our forerunner or in other words example entered into the inner sanctuary to show us the way of life. The inner sanctuary behind the curtain means the Most Holy Place where the Ark of the Covenant was.

    The Reason We Should Enter The Most Holy Place

    The Way of Life God the Mother–Then what is the true meaning of entering the Most Holy Place?

    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

    Paul teaches us that the way to the Most Holy Place is “a new and living way”. In other words, it is the way of life we must enter to receive the eternal life. Originally, this way of life into the Most Holy Place was not allowed to access since it was hidden by the curtain.

    Hebrews 9:8 The Holy Spirit was showing by this that the way into the Most Holy Place had not yet been disclosed as long as the first tabernacle was still functioning.

    The way of the Most Holy Place was not revealed yet until Jesus opened the way to it. If we look at the layout of the tabernacle or the sanctuary of the temple, we can see two rooms separated by a curtain. The room near to the entrance was called the Holy Place, and the inner room the Most Holy Place. As long as the curtain stood, the way to the Most Holy Places was hidden. It means the way of life was closed.

    However, Apostle Paul teaches that the way to the Most Holy Place came to be open through the blood of Jesus. Now since the way is open, we can now follow Jesus’ example and enter into the Most Holy Place.

    The Spiritual Most Holy Place

    The Way of Life God the Mother–Then what is the Most Holy Place we must enter to receive eternal life. Should we go to Jerualem and build a temple there? Paul says all these things were given as copy and shadow until the reality should come.

    Hebrews 9:9 This is an illustration for the present time, indicating that the gifts and sacrifices being offered were not able to clear the conscience of the worshiper. 10 They are only a matter of food and drink and various ceremonial washings—external regulations applying until the time of the new order.

    What the priest did inside the temple according to the Law of Moses was mere “external regulations. When the Christ came and established “the new order,” the old regulations were abolished. Therefore, now we must find out the realities which God wanted to reveal to us through the illustration. Then what is the reality of the Most Holy Place? According to the bible, the Most Holy Place has one very important characteristic which can be found in nothing else. That is, it is designed like a cube.

    1 Kings 6:19  He prepared the inner sanctuary within the temple to set the ark of the covenant of the Lord there. 20 The inner sanctuary was twenty cubits long, twenty wide and twenty high.

    The Reality of The Most Holy Place, God The Mother

    The Way of Life God the Mother–When King Solomon built the Jerusalem Temple, he designed the inner sanctuary (or the Most Holy Place) in the shape of a cube. This was a prophecy for the reality of the Most Holy Place that we must enter to receive the eternal life. In the Book of Revelation, we can find the reality, not a mere illustration or copy, of the Most Holy Place that is in heaven.

    When Moses built the first sanctuary, God showed him the reality of the sanctuary which is in heaven. This earthly sanctuary was given as illustration for the heavenly sanctuary until the time comes when the heavenly sanctuary be revealed. Finally, in the Book of Revelation, the Heavenly Most Holy Place, the reality of the earthly inner place of the sanctuary is known to us. The bible says the real genuine Most Holy Place would come down from heaven to this earth.

    Revelation 21:15 He measured the city with the rod and found it to be 12,000 stadia in length, and as wide and high as it is long.

    John saw the reality of the Most Holy Place of the Heavenly Jerusalem Temple. And he testifies that it would come down from heaven to us. It means when this time comes, we don’t need a copy anymore because we WILL have the reality of the Most Holy Place. Then what is the reality of the Heavenly Jerusalem which is coming down from heaven in the last days? It is God the Mother who would come down from heaven in the last days. (Galatian 4:26, To know more about this topic, please read some related topics.)

    The Way Of Life, God The Mother

    The Way of Life God the Mother–Through this we can understand that the way of life Jesus showed us as example was actually God the Mother who would come as the reality of the Most Holy Place. Jesus said that he was the reality of the temple. Jesus represented the Holy Place, the outer room. Before his sacrifice, there was a curtain between the inner room and outer room. That is why the way to the inner room was not disclosed yet.

    However, through his death on the cross, his body of the temple was torn down. At this moment, the outer room along with the curtain was brought down so that the way to the inner room could be revealed.

    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. 53 They came out of the tombs after Jesus’ resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared to many people.

    Through his death, Jesus opened the way to the Most Holy Place and many of saints could enter the inner room to receive the eternal life.

    Conclusion

    The Way of Life God the Mother–This was given to us as example. Christ wanted to reveal to us one thing by sacrificing his body to the point of death: the reality of the Most Holy Place God the Mother. To fulfill the prophecies of the bible God the Mother came down from heaven to us. Just as Jesus showed us as example, we must enter into the Most Holy Place by receiving the Heavenly Mother with joyful and thankful mind because she is the one who can give eternal life to us.

    Mother left the heavenly throne of glory and honor and came down to us appearing in the human form. She is sacrificing herself day and night for our salvation. Now let us accept the Mother so that we also could enter into the Most Holy Place following Christ’s example.
