    The Spirit and the Bride

    Whom Does the Bible Testify About?

    The bible is the book testifying about the Savior who was to come to give us salvation.

    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, yet you refuse to come to me to have life.

    “Christ” in Greek or “Messiah” in Hebrew means “the Anointed One”, which means God would come as man and be anointed to fulfill the prophecies of the bible as king, prophet, and high priest. 2000 years ago, Jesus Christ came as the Anointed One, but people rejected him and at the end crucified him on the cross. Only those who believed the words and prophecies of God in the bible could accept him and receive salvation.

    The same bible testifies that Christ would come as man for the second time (Heb 9:28), and get anointed again to complete the prophecies of the bible. When it happens, it would be a great test to people today. Many who look at the appearances of the Christ would reject him. Only those who believes in the words of God in the bible would receive him as fulfillment of the prophecies of the bible and receive salvation.

    Many says that the bride in the heavenly wedding in Revelation is the church. Today let us get rid of our prejudice and find out the identity of the heavenly New Jerusalem, the bride and wife of the Lamb.

    The Spirit and Bride Giving the Water of Life

    The Water of Life

    According to the bible, the salvation of God is expressed through many different metaphors. Sometimes it is compared to bread that gives life (Jn 6:35), or to water (Jn 4:13), or even to seeds (Mt 13:37). Especially powerful is the metaphor of water that gives life. It is used all throughout the bible as the main motif of God’s salvation. Prophet Isaiah says:

    Isaiah 55:1 Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! ….. Give ear and come to me; listen, that you may live.

    In Ezekiel, we can see the water of life flowing out from the temple of God and in Revelation too there is the water of life from the throne of God. Water is essential to lead a life on this earth. By using this function of water God is comparing his salvation and to receive the salvation we have to drink the water of life.

    The Water of Life From God

    Then who is the source of the water of life? According to the bible the only source of water of life is God himself because only God can give eternal life. (Ps 133:3, Jn 10:28) In the Old Testament, God the Father Jehovah was the Savior and thus He was the source of the water of life.

    Jeremiah 2:13 My people have committed two sins: They have forsaken me, the spring of living water, and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water.

    Therefore, those who wanted to receive salvation must come to God Jehovah for the water of life. In the Age of the Son, it was only Jesus who could give the water of life.

    John 4:13 Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 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.

    Then what about us? Who is the source of the water of life in our time? Definitely, it is God. Then who is the true Savior that we have to receive as God in the last day? Without paying attention to the bible, we cannot find the true Savior. Then what does the bible say about the Savior in the last day? Who are the source of the water of life?

    What is the New Jerusalem that is the source of the water of life in the last day?

    The Water of Life from the Spirit and the Bride

    Revelation, which testifies about the last day, teaches us the true source of the water of life in the last day.

    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.

    Revelation prophesies that the water of life or salvation of eternal life is coming from the Spirit and the bride. Then who must be the Spirit and the bride? We have agreed that the only one who can give the water of life is God himself. In this respect, we can say that the Spirit and the bride must be God.

    The Spirit is God the Father in terms of the Trinity that God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit are one. Then who are the bride of the Spirit (or the Lamb in Revelation 21:9 and 19:7)? Since this bride is the wife of the Lamb Jesus, who is God the Father, we can guess she must be God the Mother.

    Who is the Bride of the Lamb?

    The Bride of the Lamb, Heavenly Jerusalem

    In the Book of Revelation, John testifies about the bride of the Spirit who gives the water of life. Let us follow his testimony one by one to find out the identity of the bride in Revelation.

    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.

    Here we can see the wedding banquet of the Lamb and the bride. Since the Lamb in Chapter 19 is referred as the Spirit in Chapter 22, we can see the Lamb (or Jesus) is the Spirit. That is, the bridegroom of the wedding is Jesus himself. Since this is about the last day, we can say that this is about Jesus’ Second Coming as bridegroom to complete the parable of wedding banquet which he taught 2000 years ago. (Mt 22:1) Then who is the bride of Jesus? She was never mentioned in the parable of the wedding banquet 2000 years ago since it was not the time for her to be revealed.

    Finally, the time for the bride has come and she is ready to be revealed. Then who is the bride or the wife of the Lamb?

    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.” 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.

    An angel showed John the New Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God. What is the New Jerusalem who is the wife of the Lamb?

    Heavenly Jerusalem Our Mother

    Here the angel showed John the wife of the Lamb. Strangely enough the bride of the Lamb is described as “the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.” (Rev 21:2) As we know that the bible is mainly written in a parabolic language, we have to understand this also as parable. We should not think that a city of precious gems is coming down from heaven.

    To find out the true meaning of the Heavenly Jerusalem we have to find a mated verse in the bible as Isiah said: “Look in the scroll of the Lord and read: None of these will be missing, not one will lack her mate.” The vision of the heavenly Jerusalem can be explained through the mated verse in the bible.

    Apostle Paul had the same vision of the Heavenly Jerusalem and testified about it.

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

    Paul clearly testifies that the Heavenly Jerusalem is our Mother, which means God the Mother who give us life. The reason God the Mother is compared the Most Holy Place of the Jerusalem Temple (Rev 21:16) can be found in Jesus Christ himself, who compared his body as temple of God where the Spirit of God dwells. (Jn 2:20) This is true with God the Mother who will appear in human likeness, forsaking the divinity of God. (Phil 2:7)

    (To find more information about Christ as the reality of the temple, follow this link.)

    Jesus said that he is the source of the water of life. Likewise, Christ is the true temple of God from where the living water is flowing out to the whole world giving life to people.

    Conclusion

    Through these testimonies of the bible, we can conclude that the Spirit and the Bride are God the Father and God the Mother, coming together to give the water of life.

    Therefore, those who want to receive the salvation of God in our time must know the Spirit and Bride to receive the water of life. If we look at the outward appearance of the Spirit and the Bride, we can be deceived and reject them. Then what the consequences would be!! Rather suspending our disbelief, we have to pay attention to the words of God in the bible. Then we can see the divinity hidden in the form of human likeness.

    Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother appeared as the Spirit and the bride to us to give us the water of life. Now come to the Spirit and the bride and receive the salvation of eternal life.

  • [GOD THE MOTHER] The Bride Of Christ, God The Mother

    [GOD THE MOTHER] The Bride Of Christ, God The Mother

    Introduction

    The Bride of Christ God the Mother–Today, even though there are many who claim to know the words of God in the bible, most of the cases their knowledge is not based on the teachings of God in the bible. Rather, they just interpret the bible with their own wisdom and understanding. This practice causes a lot of confusion among the people who studies and try to understand the bible. Jesus said about this, “Blind men leading other blind men. And if a blind man leads another blind man, both of them will fall into a ditch.” (Matthew 15:14)

    Just as Jesus said, one ignorant is teaching another ignorant. And in this way, the world is filled with the lack of knowledge about the words of God in the bible. Each has different ideas from another. And even that kind of diversity in understanding and interpretation is encouraged and accepted for the sake of the increase of the knowledge. But God clearly warned that the words of God is truth and do not interpret the absolute words of God with relativistic knowledge of humans.

    Isa 55:8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. 9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.

    The Bride Of Christ In The Book Of Revelation

    The Bride of Christ God the Mother–One of the biggest misunderstandings of the bible is about the Bride of Christ who appears in Revelation. Revelation speaks about the completion of the heavenly wedding banquet foretold by Jesus 2000 years ago. (Matthew 22:1) He gave this parable to teach the kingdom of heaven. Through this story of wedding banquet, we can understand what kind of people would be able to enter the kingdom of heaven.

    Finally, in the Book of Revelation, we can see the complete fulfillment of the wedding banquet by the appearance of the bride of Christ. 2000 years ago, when Jesus gave the parable of the wedding banquet, he did not mention the identity of his bride. When the time has come for her to be revealed in the last day, at last, he reveals his bride, the last secret of the parable.

    Is The Bride Church?

    The Bride of Christ God the Mother–And today many says the bride of Christ in Revelation is Church. Is it true? Definitely not. 2000 years ago, when Jesus gave the parable he made clear distinction between the couple and the guests or the invited ones in the parable. And God’s people are portrayed as “the invited one,” not “the bride.”

    Matthew 22: 8 “Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come. 9 So go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find.’ 10 So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, the bad as well as the good, and the wedding hall was filled with guests……14 “For many are invited, but few are chosen.”

    This parable is concerned about the marriage of a couple ( a husband and a bride). And we can also see many who finally fills the whole wedding hall. These are called in many different titles such as the invited or the guests. And Jesus Christ teaches they are the chosen or the people of God who are to be saved. Therefore, through this parable we can conclude that the bride is different from the guests.

    God’s People as Guests

    The Bride of Christ God the Mother–We can confirm this through other similar parables of Jesus.

    Mark 2:18 Now John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting. Some people came and asked Jesus, “How is it that John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees are fasting, but yours (Jesus’s disciples) are not?” 19 Jesus answered, “How can the guests of the bridegroom fast while he is with them? They cannot, so long as they have him with them. 20 But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them, and on that day they will fast.

    In this parable too, Jesus compares his disciples (or God’s people who are to be saved) as guests, not the bride. He compares himself as bridegroom and his people (the chosen ones) are the guests. 2000 years ago, however, he did not mention anything about the bride in the wedding banquet. It was because the time for the bride has not come yet.

    The Bride of Christ God the Mother
    Can you imagine a wedding banquet without a bride?

    The True Bride of Christ

    The Bride of Christ God the Mother–Finally, the bride appears in the Book of Revelation. It means she meant to appear in the last days. This appearance of the bride is very important for the salvation work of God. Let us think about the purpose of a wedding banquet. A wedding is a ceremony in which a man and a woman become a husband and wife. And they build up a family. What is the ultimate purpose? To give “LIFE” to the children.

    The Source of Life

    The Bride of Christ God the Mother–Through the parable of the wedding banquet, Jesus is trying to teach us the salvation work of God. As in the physical wedding, the ultimate purpose of the heavenly wedding banquet is to give salvation or “eternal LIFE” to the chosen people of God. For this purpose the wedding banquet must be made complete in the last day when the salvation work is finished.

    To make the heavenly wedding complete, the last missing piece of puzzle must be filled up. Then what was missing 2000 years ago? It was the appearance of the bride. Even though Jesus gave the parable in many different places, he never mentioned anything about the Bride. If the bride is not important, why should he use the parable of wedding? He could have used a parable of a birthday party, instead.

    The reason Jesus did not mention the bride is because it was not the time yet for her to appear. After the wedding banquet, it is the bride that gives life to the children. In the same way, in this spiritual wedding banquet, the bride is the one who grants “eternal life” to the chosen people. Therefore, the guests or the chosen who want to receive eternal life must know “the bride” as well as the bridegroom (or Jesus Christ). Then who is the bride that gives eternal life to the guests?

    The Bride of Christ God the Mother
    Who is the bride of Christ in the heavenly wedding banquet?

    The Bride of Christ, God the Mother

    Let us take a look at the prophecies of the Book of Revelation to find the true bride of Christ.

    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.” (Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of God’s holy people.) 9 Then the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!” And he added, “These are the true words of God.”

    In this parable of the completion of the wedding banquet, we can see the bridegroom (Christ), finally the bride, and guests (those who are invited). In this parable too, we see that the bride and the guests (God’s people or church) is not the same. Therefore, it is wrong to claim that the bride is the church. Then who is the bride the Lamb (or the Christ)? All the guests who wants to receive salvation must attend this wedding banquet. And they must know the bride as well as the bridegroom for their salvation.

    The Bride OF Christ, 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.

    The Bride of Christ God the Mother–Finally, to complete the wedding banquet, the bride appears by coming down from heaven to this earth. Then what is “the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God”? We cannot imagine a big city in the geographical sense coming down from heaven. In this wedding, Jesus is not physically a Lamb, but spiritually. In the same way, the heavenly Jerusalem is not physical. It should be spiritual.

    Then who is this heavenly Jerusalem? She is the last secret the guest must know for the salvation.

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

    The heavenly Jerusalem is, in fact, Our Mother. We have Our Father in heaven (Matthew 6:9). And we call him God the Father. And the Same bible says we have Our Mother in heaven, that is, God the Mother.

    God the Father And God the Mother

    The Bride of Christ God the Mother–Through this parable of the heavenly wedding banquet, Jesus has wanted to teach us the existence of God the Mother, the last secret of the bible. In the last day, to complete the wedding banquet, God the Father and God the Mother must appear together. And they would gather all the chosen ones to the wedding hall to give them eternal life.

    After the appearance of God the Mother, finally God’s salvation work is made complete by granting the eternal life or living water to the children of God.

    Revelation 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.

    The Spirit and the Bride, the God the Father and God the Mother would come together and gather the children by calling them to “come”. And when they are gathered, finally they together give the water of life or eternal life to them.

    The Bride of Christ God the Mother
    Invitation to the Heavenly Wedding Banquet Presented to YOU!!

    In conclusion, God’s people who wants to receive this water of life must know God the Mother, the true bride of God. She would grant the water of life to all the people who wishes. Amen, Amen!

  • 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.

  • God The Mother: In The Creation Of Adam And Eve

    God The Mother: In The Creation Of Adam And Eve

    During the six day creation of God in Genesis, the last thing that was created man. And the bible says that the creation of man was given to us to teach us about the invisible image of God. If we look at man in the book of Genesis, God created man into two different images: male and female, both of which were fashioned after the very image of God. Through the first man Adam and first woman Eve, God is teaching us the spiritual Adam and Eve. Then who are the spiritual Adam and Eve? And why do they need to be created?

    The Spiritual Adam

    Genesis 1:27  So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.

    When God created man, God put his invisible image into the creation of man. According to the creation work of God, both male and female were made to represent the image of God. The first man Adam was created according to the male image of God, who we call “God the Father.” Then who was Eve created to represent? It must be the female image of God, that is, God the Mother.

    Adam and Eve
    Creation of Adam: Instead of saying, “Let there be a man”, God said, “Let us make man in our image and in our likeness”. Among all the creations, why did God give man the image of God? What does God want ot teach us through the creation of man?

    Let us confirm this through the bible. First, let us look at the purpose of God in the creation of Adam. Nothing was created without any purpose or the will of God. Then what was the will of God in the creation of Adam?

    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.

    According to the bible, Adam was created as the pattern of the one who is to come so that we can understand “the one to come” through the story of Adam. Then who is “the one to come” in the bible? It is the Christ Jesus. 2000 years ago the prophecies of the bible about “the one to come” was fulfilled by Jesus Christ and in the same way the prophecies of “the one to come” in the last days would be fulfilled by the Second Coming Jesus.

    Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was offered as a sacrifice one time to take away the sins of many people. And he will come a second time, but not to offer himself for sin. He will come the second time to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him. (ERV)

    About this Christ who was to come for the second time, the Revelation says:

    Revelation 22:20  He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. 21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s people. Amen.

    Again and again the bible says the one to come in the last days is Jesus Christ. But when Jesus comes, how can we know who the true Jesus is who we have been waiting for? To teach us how to recognize the true Christ, the bible says he will come to follow the pattern of Adam. In other words, he is coming as spiritual Adam.

    Since Jesus was God the Father himself, we can conclude that God created Adam to teach us his coming as man in the flesh, which was fulfilled partly by Jesus 2000 yeas ago and would be fulfilled completely in the last days by his coming as Adam when he comes for the second time. In short, Adam represents God the Father coming as man.

    The Spiritual Eve

    If Adam represents God the Father, then who does Eve represents? As we have already seen, Eve was created to let us know the another image of God, God the Mother. Through the creation of Eve, God wanted to teach us the God the Mother who would come as woman in the flesh in the last days. 2ooo years ago when God the Father appeared as spiritual Adam in the name of Jesus, he did not bring his wife, the spiritual Eve. She was kept hidden until the last days.

    Adam and Eve
    Who is Eve, who was created with Adam’s flesh and blood?

    According to the prophecies of the bible, Spiritual Eve must appear in the last days along with Spiritual Adam, the Second Coming Christ to complete the salvation work. Then why should Eve appear in the last days. To understand the work of the spiritual Eve, first we must look at the physical Eve who was also given as pattern for the spiritual Eve. Then what was the purpose of God in the creation of Eve.

    According to the bible Eve was created as helper: “But for Adam no suitable helper was found” (Genesis 1:20) It means she was created to help Adam. Adam was not complete by himself and God created Eve to make up for the lack in Adam. Even though Adam could do everything by himself, there was one thing that he could not do alone: Giving life to the children. Therefore, to help Adam to procreate or to give birth to offspring.

    Genesis 3:20  Adam named his wife Eve (or Life), because she would become the mother of all the living.

    The name Eve means “life” or “living” in the Hebrew words and she was created to give life to the children. Through this physical Eve, God is teaching us that it is only through the spiritual Eve (God the Mother) the spiritual life can be given to the children. And to give us the eternal life God the Mother must appear along with God the Father in the last days.

    The Eternal Life

    Just as Adam was the first man who gave life to the children, the bible says Jesus is coming as Adam to give the spiritual life to the spiritual children.

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

    The purpose of the appearance of the last Adam or Jesus Christ is to give life to the children. For this purpose Christ must come again as Adam or man in the flesh for the second time in the last days, but when he appears to give us life, he must come along with the spiritual Eve, God the Mother because it was not the will of God to give life to the children only through Adam. But more importantly God created Eve and gave the role of child-birth so that she would give life as mother.

    In this story of Adam and Eve, God already foretold the work of Christ who is coming as Adam and Eve to give us eternal life. To give us eternal life or salvation, the Second Coming Christ (the Last Adam) must reveal God the Mother (the Last Eve) who is coming to give us “eternal life,” just as Adam revealed Eve by testifying about her as it is written:

    Genesis 3:20  Adam named his wife Eve (or Life), because she would become the mother of all the living.

    Adam gave the name and role for Eve and this work of Adam was a prophecy to let us know the work of the spiritual Adam. This prophecy was fulfilled by the Second Coming Christ Ahnsahnghong revealing God the Mother as the last Eve who appeared to give us the eternal life.

    Conclusion

    The last hidden mystery of the bible, the Last Eve coming as mother of all the living was finally fulfilled in our time. Now we must recognize God the Mother who came as woman in the flesh and accept her and the living water coming from her to receive eternal life. Come to the World Mission Society Church of God established by God the Father and God the Mother in these last days.

  • Heavenly Wedding Banquet: Who Is The Bride Of Christ?

    Heavenly Wedding Banquet: Who Is The Bride Of Christ?

    In the previous post, I have explained about one parable of Jesus: The Heavenly Wedding Banquet and its meaning. Through the parable, actually God was teaching us that there would appear a bride of Jesus in the last days. She is the one who would be able to give us the eternal life and salvation. Therefore, we must know the bride of Jesus who would appear to us in the form of woman along with the Christ who was to appear in the form of man. Our Father and Mother appear as man in the flesh and give the water of life.

    How To Recognize the Christ and His Bride

    Now the question is if she is to appear one of women on this earth how we can know who the true bride of Christ is since there are so many women living on this earth. When she comes, will she have certain undeniable signs through which we can immediately recognize her? That would not be true because the appearance of the Christ as male or female is not easy to recognize as it happened 2000 years ago when Christ Jesus came for the first time. His or her appearance must be kept as secret until the appointed time.

    Matthew 8:4  Then Jesus said to him, “See that you don’t tell anyone.”

    Matthew 17:9  As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus instructed them, “Don’t tell anyone what you have seen, until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.”

    All throughout the gospel, Jesus said to his disciples and people not to reveal his true identity to others until the appointed time. It was because he must come in secret and nobody is supposed to know the true identity of Jesus through his physical appearance. The only way, we can know him was through the fulfillment of the prophecies of the bible. In this way, God was separating two types of people: those who have spiritual eyes and those who don’t. Those who have spiritual eyes were those who believed the prophecies of the bible and accepted Jesus as Christ even though he looked just like a man in the outward appearance.

    It is the same with the appearance of the Second Coming Christ and His bride in the last days. In the outward physical appearance they would be like exactly one of us; therefore, through the appearance we will not be able to recognize them. The only way for us to know them is through the fulfillment of the prophecies of the bible. The bible prophecies that the Spirit and the Bride would appear and give the water of life. Then how can we know the Spirit and the bride? It is through the water of life (eternal life) they give. Whoever it may be, the one who brings the water of life is the Spirit and the Bride and the water of life is the words of God that gives the eternal life. And the words of God is:

    John 6:53  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.

    And the flesh and blood of Christ was the Passover the New Covenant. Therefore, the one who brings the Passover is the Spirit and the bride in the bible. The one who restored the Passover which was abolished in AD 325 was Christ Ahnsahnghong and the one who came as the Heavenly Jerusalem, the reality of the new covenant is Our Mother. Therefore, the prophecies were fulfilled by Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother and we can know they are the Spirit and the bride once we remove their physical appearance.

    The Bride Revealed

    Since they are coming in secret, we must know how to recognize them correctly. In this parable of Wedding, what is hidden is the bride of Christ and she is the key for the kingdom of heaven. Then how can we know the bride? The bible says all the physical things on this earth was given to us to teach us the spiritual things in heaven. (Romans 1:20) Therefore, to know the bride first we must look at the wedding on this earth. In a wedding ceremony at first the bride is veiled. And then who is it that reveals the bride to the guests? It is the bridegroom.

    Heavenly Wedding Banquet
    Bride in Veil

    In the same way, in this spiritual wedding banquet too, it should be the bridegroom (the Second Coming Christ) who would reveal the bride. To confirm this let us, take a look at some of the prophecies of the bible.

    Isaiah 62:6  I have posted watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem; they will never be silent day or night. You who call on the Lord, give yourselves no rest, 7 and give him no rest till he establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of the earth.

    When this prophecy was written in BC 700 by Prophet Isaiah the physical Jerusalem and its Temple was already established by King David and Solomon about 300 years ago. And he is talking about a Jerusalem which is going to be established in the future. Then what is this Jerusalem? He must be speaking about the heavenly Jerusalem and he says that the Heavenly Jerusalem is going to be established by God himself. It means the Second Coming Christ, who is God (Romans 9:5) will reveal the spiritual Jerusalem our Mother to the guests (God’s people).

    Adam Established Eve

    This can be confirmed through the story of Adam and Eve. The story of Adam and Eve in Genesis is not just a story of past, but it is story of Christ and his bride. According to the bible, Christ is compared to Adam.

    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.

    The one to come in the bible is the Christ who is coming as Savior, but especially, this Christ in the Book of Romans is about the Second Coming Christ because this book was written after the first coming of Christ. Then why is Christ compared to Adam? It is because through the work and life of Adam God is teaching us the work of Christ. So the work and life of Adam in Eden was given to us to teach us the spiritual Adam who would come and fulfill the work spiritually. Therefore, we can say Adam was given to us as prophecy to teach us about the Christ.

    Since Adam represents Christ, the bride of Adam or Eve means the bride of Christ. Then in the story of Adam who was the one who revealed Eve? This is very important because through this we can see who is going to reveal the bride of Christ the spiritual Eve.

    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. 23 The man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.”

    Genesis 3:20 Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become the mother of all the living.

    In this story of Garden of Eden who was it that revealed Eve the bride of Adam? It was not God who testified about Eve or named Eve. It was Adam himself. He gave Eve the role and definition as the life-giver and also he reveals that Eve is his own flesh and blood. Since Adam signifies the Christ and Eve the bride of Christ, just as Adam revealed Eve, the Christ himself will reveal his bride. Therefore, by listening to the testimony of the Second Coming Christ we can know who the true bride is who can give us the water of life. God let Adam to testify about Eve and it means nobody is supposed to know the existence of the spiritual Eve until Adam appears and reveals her to people. That is why Eve or the bride of Christ is the last hidden secret for the kingdom of heaven.

    To fulfill this wedding banquet, Christ Ahnsahnhong revealed our Mother as His Bride who can give us eternal life. In 1984, he commanded his disciples to prepare for the Passover in a Wedding Hall. Since the Passover is a festival of God through which we can eat and drink the flesh and blood of Christ and have the forgiveness and eternal life, usually it was kept in Zion, the city of God’s festivals. But in 1984 Christ Ahnsahnghong directed to prepare the Passover in a wedding hall, and through the Passover he wanted to reveal the reality of the flesh and blood of Christ as Adam, that is, the spiritual Eve.

    He directed them to light the blue and red candles, which is the symbol of a wedding ceremony and in the wedding banquet he revealed our Mother the spiritual Eve who would become “the Mother of all the Living.” And he taught his disciples.

    Peter Followed Jesus,
    Joshua Followed Moses,
    Elisha Followed Elijah,
    And I Follow Mother.

    Through this he completed the parable of the wedding banquet and commanded us to obey Mother because she is the one who fulfilled all the prophecies of the bible and came down to this earth to give us the water of life.

    Conclusion

    Zechariah 14:6  On that day there will be neither sunlight nor cold, frosty darkness. 7 It will be a unique day—a day known only to the Lord—with no distinction between day and night. When evening comes, there will be light. 8 On that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem, half of it east to the Dead Sea and half of it west to the Mediterranean Sea, in summer and in winter.

    To fulfill the prophecies of the bible, Mother came and giving us the water of life. Come to the Jerusalem our Mother for the eternal life.

  • [WMSCOG] Adam’s Flesh And Blood

    [WMSCOG] Adam’s Flesh And Blood

    Adam’s Flesh and Blood

    According to the bible Adam represents Christ, but then who does Eve represent? Let us find out the answer for this question through the teachings of Christ. 2000 years ago, Jesus said, “Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life,” and gave the new covenant of the Passover through which we would be able to receive the flesh and blood of Christ and eternal life. But there is something more in this teaching of Christ.

    Jesus Teaches in Parables

    Matthew 13:34   Jesus spoke all these things to the crowd in parables; he did not say anything to them without using a parable.

    A parable is a figurative language which contains hidden secrets in it. It means all the teachings of Jesus was given in the parabolic term and those teachings contain some hidden meaning in it. Then we can easily assume that there must be also some secret meaning behind this teaching of Jesus about his flesh and blood. To understand the secret hidden in the Passover, we must understand the story of Adam.

    Hidden Secret in the Flesh and Blood of Christ

    Jesus and Adam

    Romans 5:14   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.

    Adam was given to us as pattern to teach us about “the one who was to come.” Then who is “the one to come”? According to the prophecies of the bible, ‘the one to come’ is Christ who was to come or appear two times. It means Adam was actually given to us as type to show the Christ who was to come in the future. Therefore, by looking at Adam in the Old Testament we can actually know who the Christ would be who was to come as spiritual Adam.

    Jesus’ Flesh and Blood Hidden in the Story of Adam

    Eve the Flesh and Blood of Adam

    Therefore, to know the meaning of Jesus’ flesh and blood we must first look at Adam. Adam represents Christ so Adam’s flesh and blood means Christ’s flesh and blood. Through Adam’s flesh and blood, we can come to know the reality of Christ’s flesh and blood. Then what is Adam’s flesh and blood? Let us take a look at the story of Adam?

    When God created Eve, he used Adam’s bone and flesh. Actually, “bone” represents blood because the blood is produced from the marrow inside the bones. After creating Eve with Adam’s flesh and bone (or blood), Adam testified like this:

    Genesis 2:23   23 The man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.”

    When Eve was brought to Adam, Adam testified to Eve as his flesh and blood.

    The Reality of the Flesh and Blood of the Christ

    So through this story of Adam we can see the reality of Christ’s flesh and blood which gives eternal life to those who eat them. Just as Jesus represents Adam, Christ’s flesh and blood represents Eve, Adam’s wife who was created with Adam’s flesh and blood.

    Through the story of Adam actually God was teaching us the wife of the spiritual Adam the Christ who can give us the eternal life. Then when is the time for Eve to appear? Let us study the story of Adam a little bit more.

    Eve Represents God the Mother the Spiritual Last Eve

    Creation of Eve

    When God created Eve, first he put Adam into a deep sleep and took his flesh and blood to create Eve.

    Genesis 2:21   21 So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and then closed up the place with flesh. 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.

    Before the creation of Eve, first Adam must be put into a deep sleep and then Eve could be revealed. In the same way, for the wife of Christ, the spiritual Adam to be revealed, first Christ must be put into a deep sleep. And the side of Christ must be opened to break the rib bone and flesh so that the spiritual Eve could be created. What does it mean that Christ must be put into a deep sleep?

    John 11:11   11 After he had said this, he went on to tell them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going there to wake him up.” 12 His disciples replied, “Lord, if he sleeps, he will get better.” 13 Jesus had been speaking of his death, but his disciples thought he meant natural sleep. 14 So then he told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead.”

    To talk about the death of Lazarus, at first Jesus used a figurative language, ‘sleeping’ and then later explained to the disciples in a plain language without using a parable that he is dead. So spiritually sleeping means ‘death.’

    The Appearance of the Spiritual Eve, the Bride of Christ

    For the creation of Eve, Adam must be put into a deep sleep and this means that for the wife of Christ to be revealed Christ must be first put to death and his side must be broken open. 2000 years ago we can clearly see how Jesus fulfilled this prophecy of Adam when he came for the first time.

    John 19:33 But when they came to Jesus and found that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. Instead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus’ side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water.

    The spiritual Adam, Jesus was figuratively put into a deep sleep and while he was sleeping his side was broken open and his rib bone was broken producing blood. Through his death on the cross he fulfilled the prophecy of Adam to reveal Eve, his true flesh and blood.

    The Appearance of the Last Adam and Last Eve

    Eve Means “Life”

    Then why should Eve be revealed? Because she is the one who was created to give “Life” to people. The name, Eve means “LIFE,” and even from the beginning God planned the life through Eve.

    Genesis 3:20   Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become the mother of all the living.

    In the meaning of Eve in the Hebrew word is “Living or Life.” Even from the beginning God created Eve to give life. Without Eve, the Mother of all the Living, there can never be any life for the living in the spiritual sense. This was also prophecy about the Christ’s wife who would be revealed as the source of life. Through the sacrifice of Christ God fulfilled the prophecy of Adam and his death so that Eve, Adam’s flesh and blood could be created.

    The Time of the Appearance of Eve

    Then when would Eve appear? Since she is Adam’s wife, she would appear along with her husband Adam, that is, the Second Coming Christ who was to appear in the last days. And in the book of Revelation, the bible says that Christ, the Last Adam will appear with his wife, the Last Eve 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.

    When the Lamb is coming for the second time in the last days, he is coming along with his wife, the last Eve.

    The Purpose of the Appearance of the Last Eve

    Then what is the purpose of Eve’s coming? To give life as the mother of all the living. 2000 years ago Jesus gave his flesh and blood through the Passover bread and wine until the reality of the flesh and blood of Christ be revealed in the last days. By revealing Eve in the last days, God is teaching that the reality of Christ’s flesh and blood that gives eternal life is actually the wife of Christ, the Last Eve, the Mother of all the living.

    Who is the Last Eve, the Bride of Christ?

    If we look at Revelation 21:9, the bible teaches us the bride and wife of Christ is the Heavenly Jerusalem coming down from heaven. And Paul teaches the reality of the Heavenly Jerusalem and says, “But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our Mother.” The heavenly Jerusalem is our Mother or the Mother of the living. Here “Our” means God’s people who will receive eternal life and they must have spiritual Mother who can grant them eternal life.

    This prophecy was already fulfilled by Christ Ahnsahnghong who came as the Last Adam and Our Mother Heavenly Jerusalem who came as the bride of the Lamb, the Last Eve. Christ Ahnsahnghong taught us that Mother is the one who can give us eternal life and we must listen to Mother for the life. Thanks to heavenly Father and Mother for their great love and sacrifice!!

  • Elohim, The Mystery Of God

    Elohim, The Mystery Of God

    What is the mystery of God in the bible? It is the Christ because our salvation depends on the Christ who was to appear on this earth. The reason he is considered a mystery is because no one can recognize the Christ in the worldly point of view. The biggest mystery among all the mysteries of the bible is God Elohim who would appear in the last days to give us eternal life.

    The Old Testament of the bible is recorded originally in the Hebraic language and in the Hebrew language one of the words used to refer to God is “Elohim,” which was used 2,500 times throughout the Old Testament. This referent, Elohim is the most common word used to mean God. If we just look at the Genesis 1, we can see how many times the word “Elohim” is used to mean God. Listen to this Hebrew reading of Genesis 1.

    Then what is so mysterious about a name of God? It is because contrary to the public opinion Elohim is not God in the singular form, but Gods in plural form. It means when God was creating the world and everything in it, God was not working by himself, but there was another entity who was working together with God the Father. Let us confirm this through the reading of Genesis 1:26 and 27.

    Why is Elohim (God) using “us” and “our” to represent God? If God is singular and Father alone, then he should say, “Let me make man in my image and in my likeness.” Why is God referring himself as “us” and “our” in the plural form? The secret is in the word Elohim. In the Hebrew word, the singular form of God is “El” or “Elo(a)h,” which means God in the singular form and the plural form of God is “Elim” or “Elohim,” which means Gods literally.

    You might say, “Does it make any difference if it is singular or plural?” The answer is “It does make all the difference.” To have knowledge of God is the basic condition of salvation. Even though there are many gods and many lords in the world, the true Savior and true God is one. And that one God is call himself as “us” and “our.” In the bible nothing is meaningless, and everything has meaning. Even a singular or plural form has meaning in it. For example, let us take a look at Paul’s words:

    Gal 3:16  16 The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. Scripture does not say “and to seeds,” meaning many people, but “and to your seed,” meaning one person, who is Christ.

    Even though Abraham had two sons or seeds, Ishmael and Isaac, the one who received the promise of God was one son or seed, Isaac, who represents Christ. The singular and plural form is essential to understand the meaning of Abraham’s seed, who would become his heir. All these were working as prophecies to teach us God’s heir. If we don’t not care if it is singular or plural, we completely misunderstand the salvation work of God. It is the same with Elohim. To understand if God is one or two, or singular or plural is essential for the salvation. If someone firmly believes God is one (even though God is two), he would not be able to accept God when he appears as two forms, and if someone believes that God is two (even though he is one), he would have to wait meaninglessly to the end without receiving salvation.

    Then is God one or two? The answer is in man who was given God’s image. Man was created to reveal the image of God, and the man was created into two images, male and female, or Adam and Eve. And the creation of man shows us the invisible image of God as male and female, Father and Mother. According to the Romans 5 Adam was created to teach us the male image of Christ or God the Father coming as man in the flesh.

    Both Adam and Eve were created in the invisible image of God. Since they are the copy of the image of God, through them we can conclude that God has two images too, that is, male and female, or God the Father and God the Mother.

    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 was a pattern of the one to come.

    Adam was created to teach us about the Christ, first coming and second, who represent male image of Elohim, Gods. Then who does Eve represent, who was given the female image of Elohim? She was created to show Adam’s wife or female image of Christ. In short, Adam is Christ in the male image and Eve is Christ in the female image who would come and appear in the last days: the Spirit and the Bride in the book of Revelation 22:17. The Spirit is the Christ who is coming as Adam for the second time and his bride is Elohim Mother who would appear as Adam’s bride or his wife.

    Many says that the bride is the saints. But Father Ahnsahnghong clearly taught in one of his sermon explaining the Revelation 21 and 22 that the bride in the book is not plural, but singular. If the bride is saints, it should be recorded as brides in the plural form, not bride in its singular form, which means the bride is NOT saints. Just as many tried to deceive people from recognizing God the Father who came down to this earth in the flesh, and in the same way there are many who try to deceive people from know God the Mother the Last Eve who would appear in the last days to give us the water of life. To understand the deepest mystery in the bible, we must depend on the words of God in the bible, not on the teachings coming from man’s opinion.

    The bible truly testifies that the Spirit and the Bride would appear to give us salvation. They are God Elohim, Father and Mother working together even from the beginning in the book of Genesis to the very end until all God’s people receive the salvation and eternal life in Heaven!!

  • Abraham and Sarah: Spiritual Meaning Behind A Family History

    Everything in the bible is recorded for one purpose, that is, to teach us the way of salvation. Therefore, when we read the bible, we should not think anything lightly. Everything in the bible contains God’s message for our salvation. If we look at the book of Genesis, we can see a long and detailed record of the family history of Abraham. How and when Abraham was chosen, what kind of promise was given to him, who was his son and grandsons, how are where they lived–all these things are recorded in a detailed way. Why did God write the family history of Abraham? This is not just one family history; rather, through this story God teaches us the way of salvation.

    Abraham and Sarah, who are they? Why did God record a history of one family in such a detailed way? What does God want to teach us through the story of Abraham?

    According to the bible, Abraham represents God himself figuratively and therefore Abraham’s children represents God’s children. In the book of Galatians, Paul clearly teaches that Christ, the Son of God was given to us to teach us who are the heirs of God. If we become sons of God like Christ (who is the archetype of the true sons of God), we can become the heir of God.

    Gal 3:29  If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise. 

    Christ is represented as the Son of God in the bible, but here in the book of Galatians Paul says Christ is the seed or Son of Abraham, rather than the Son of God. Through this he teaches us that Abraham represents God himself and the seed or son of Abraham means figuratively the sons of God who will be the heirs of God who can inherit the kingdom of heaven.  We can confirm this through another verse in the same chapter.

    Gal 3:16  The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. The Scripture does not say “and to seeds,” meaning many people, but “and to your seed,” meaning one person, who is Christ.

    According to the book of Genesis, Abraham’s seed was Isaac, not Christ. But Paul interpret that this family history of Abraham was given to us to teach us the heir of God who will receive inheritance in heaven or simply salvation. Even Christ himself testified that he is Isaac, the son of Abraham. God gave Abraham a promise that he would return a year later and exactly the same time next year Isaac was born to Sarah. About this story, Christ teaches the meaning behind the story.

    John 8:56  Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad.

    What Abraham actually saw on the promised day of God’s return was Isaac. God returned as Isaac, the son of Abraham. But Christ said the one who Abraham actually saw was Christ himself who was born as the son of Abraham. Through this what does God want to teach us? He is teaching us that Isaac, the son and the heir of Abraham was given to us to teach us the Christ who is the true seed or heir of God. In short, Isaac represents Christ, the Son of God and also God’s people who belong to Christ must become like Isaac to be the sons of God who can receive salvation.

    Galatians 4:28  Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise.

    God’s people must become sons of God by following Isaac’s example. Then in the story of Abraham’s family how was Isaac able to become the heir of Abraham? Abraham had two sons who could be his heir, but God’s promise was not given to “his seeds,” but “seed.” It means only one of them was given the promise to be the heir of Abraham and the one who was chosen was Isaac, not Ishmael. Then why was Isaac chosen over Ishmael who was older and could have inheritance according to the law of time called primogeniture, which means the older son can receive the inheritance from the father. According to his law Ishmael as firstborn of Abraham should be the heir, but Isaac was chosen. Then why?  It was because of the words of God that he would make a covenant with the son of Abraham who was born through Sarah, who was a free woman.

    Even though Ishmael was the firstborn, he could not receive the inheritance because he was a son of a slave woman. Having a father and mother who were not under slavery was the condition for the heir of Abraham. That is why Isaac, who was born through Abraham (a free man) and Sarah (a free woman) could be chosen as the heir of Abraham, rather than Ishmael, who was born through Abraham (a free man) and Hagar (a slave woman). Through this story of the heir of Abraham, God is teaching us who can become the heir of God.

    Since Abraham represents God the Father, who is free from sin and death, then who does Sarah represent? Paul reveals who the wife of Abraham represents in the book of Galatians. He compares Hagar and Sarah which symbolizes the old covenant and new covenant respectively. Just as the center of the old covenant was the earthly Jerusalem, he teaches the center of the new covenant is the heavenly Jerusalem. Then what is the reality of the heavenly Jerusalem?

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

    Sarah who is the symbol of the new covenant actually represent the Heavenly Jerusalem our Mother, the free woman. Just as Isaac was chosen owing to his father Abraham and his mother Sarah, through this story God is showing how to be the heir of God. We can become the heir of God like Christ through spiritual Abraham God the Father and spiritual Sarah God the Mother. This heavenly Jerusalem is also testified by Apostle John.

    Revelation 21:9  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.

    According to the bible, when Christ is coming, he is coming with his wife, Heavenly Jerusalem. The Lamb Our Father and his wife Heavenly Jerusalem Our Mother are coming together in the last days to give us the eternal life. (Revelation 22:17) To fulfill this prophecy God the Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother Heavenly Jerusalem came down to this earth from heaven so that we can receive the water of life, eternal life. Let us accept the Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother Jerusalem and receive the water of life. They are the Elohim Gods we must meet in the last days.
