Christ Ahnsahnghong - Look Upon the Spiritual World

World Mission Society Church of God follows God the Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother Heavenly Mother New Jerusalem.

We live as pilgrims on earth, longing for the heavenly home. Being clothed in flesh in this visible and finite world, our hearts become easily absorbed in outward things, so that we cannot think of the spiritual world. When we indulge in physical things, we can not understand God's providence; we can't grow in faith, and even the faith we have will gradually cool down.
Our forefathers in faith tell us that the invisible world exists and it is the eternal world.

2 Co 4:18 "So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."

Most people believe the things that occur in the visible world, but they can hardly believe the invisible world. There are not many who live in the hope for heaven, because it is the spiritual and invisible world.

Footprints of a camel and existence of God

Two tradesmen were traveling through the desert. One of them believed in God, and the other was an unbeliever.
While they were on their tedious journey, they began a serious debate on the existence of God. One claimed that 'God exists absolutely,' and the other insisted that 'God does not exist.' They continued arguing so strenuously. The unbeliever said, "Show me the evidence for God's existence. If He does exist, there must be visible proof of His existence." Thus his insistence became stronger. Meanwhile it grew dark, and they spent the night in the desert.
The two tradesmen drove a stake into the ground and tied their camel to it. Then they pitched their tents in the desert for the night. Their bodies were so tired, and immediately they fell into a deep sleep. When they woke up the next morning, they found that their camel disappeared. It was certainly serious for them to lose their camel in the endless desert of sand. They looked all around but couldn't find it.
Then the unbeliever found the footprints of the camel and shouted for joy, "I've found the camel!" And the believer asked him,
"Where is the camel?"
"Look at these footprints. Won't we find the camel if we follow the trail of the footprints?"
"What are you talking about? There are only the camel's footprints, not the camel itself."
"If we follow the trail of the camel's footprints, we will surely find the camel."
Being impatient, the unbeliever loudly said that. Then the tradesman who believed in God became serious and said,
"You believe that there is certainly a camel by only seeing its footprints. Now you see God's footprints all around you. Why can't you believe in His existence?"
Just then the sun was rising.
"Behold! The sun always rising every morning is a footprint of God."

The tradesman believed that the camel was somewhere out there by only seeing its footprints. We have ample proofs of God's existence all around us. The earth we live on is God's great handiwork.
The earth is the only planet in our solar system where humans, animals and plants can live. The Bible also shows that God created this earth to fulfill His providence for the salvation of mankind. Why can't life exist on the planets such as Mercury and Neptune, but only on the planet earth? It's because God created this earth specifically for the purpose of accomplishing His redemptive plan.
God let only the earth put forth trees and plants that produce oxygen and purify the air, and let there be an ozonosphere region in the upper atmosphere to protect humans from the harmful rays of the sun such as ultraviolet rays. Thus, He has provided every condition for men to live on the earth. All this is evidence that God is alive and working.

A visible world and an invisible world of dragonfly larvae

Dragonflies fly very close to the water during their spawning season and touch the surface of the water with the tip of their bodies. They then lay their eggs in the water. The eggs hatch into larvae that are covered by an embryonic membrane, and they repeatedly shed their exoskeletons as they grow. The larvae's final molt transforms them into nymphs, aquatic predators; they make their homes in the muddy or sandy bottom or on plants or among stones. When the dragonfly nymphs reach maturity, they crawl out of the water onto a plant stem. Then their skins begin to split, and the wings of adult dragonflies emerge; soon they are able to fly in the sky. How amazing is the transformation from underwater nymphs to winged dragonflies flying in the sky! It is a dimensional change.
One day a frog visited a pond where dragonfly nymphs lived. The frog told the nymphs about beautiful flowers, stars twinkling in the night sky and insects such as bees or butterflies which he had seen during his journey. He also told them that once fully mature, they would come out of the water and be transformed into beautiful winged dragonflies.
"Now you are merely underwater nymphs. When you become adults, you will have beautiful transparent wings so you can fly freely in the sky. With the wings you can freely fly, traveling from flower to flower."
However, the nymphs didn't believe what the frog said about the outer world. For it was unbelievable, unimaginable, and fabulous to them.
After the frog went back, the dragonfly nymphs gathered together to discuss. "His saying may be true." "No! It's a nonsense." They were thus divided in their opinions. Finally they agreed to this opinion: "If any of us is really transformed into a dragonfly that is able to fly in the sky just as the frog said, then he shall get back into the water and tell the truth."
After some time, one of the nymphs underwent a transformation. The dragonfly nymph climbed up a plant stem out of the water and split its skin. Just like the frog had said, it was transformed into a dragonfly with transparent wings and a long tail. Emerging from its underwater life, it had beautiful wings and could fly from flower to flower, smelling their fragrance.
The Milky Way flowing in the night sky, the sun rising every morning and shining brightly, cool wind, white clouds floating in the sky, beautiful fragrant flowers, ... It was a scene unimaginable in the underwater world.
The dragonfly was reminded of its underwater friends who didn't know about such a beautiful world, and remembered what they said to each other: "If any of us becomes a dragonfly for the first time, he shall come back into the pond and tell the truth." Then the dragonfly tried to get back into the pond where it had lived in order to tell the truth to its friends, but it could not go into the water because it had already become dimensionally different from them.

God's promise of eternal life

Just as the dragonfly nymphs could hardly understand the existence of that other world until it was transformed into a dragonfly, so can we hardly believe and acknowledge what we've not experienced in this earth. We often fail to understand Jesus' teachings on heaven and hell.

The Bible describes the transformation we will undergo to enter heaven.

1 Co 15:50-54 "I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed-in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. ..."

"The mortal must clothe itself with immortality." This shows that we shall be changed into immortal beings. Therefore, we need to deeply study what the Bible says about eternal life which God has promised us.

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

How can we eat Jesus' flesh and drink His blood then?

Mt 26:17-28 "On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?" ... So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.... While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is my body." Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins."

God sealed the Passover bread with Jesus' flesh and the Passover wine with His blood. He promised eternal life to those celebrating the Passover.
When will the people, who have become one with Christ by eating the Passover bread and drinking the Passover wine, be transformed into glorious beings? It is at the last day when the Christ comes down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call. On that day, we will all be changed in a flash; our bodies will be like Jesus' glorious body (1 Th 4:13-18).
We are blessed, for we have received all God's promises described in the Bible. Imagine the moment when we will be changed in a flash, putting on the glorious robe, the angelic robe. Though we now live in this visible world like the dragonfly nymphs, we will soon live in a world of unimaginable beauty, the kingdom of heaven, as newly-changed beings, as the glorious ones.
Let's find out who has taught us the way of life, the Passover, so that we can be born again into a new world.

1 Ti 6:15-16 "which God will bring about in his own time-God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone is immortal ..."

It is only God who can change our mortal bodies into immortal ones. For He alone is immortal. Nobody knows the way of eternal life except God. Only God Himself can tell us the way.
God Himself has taught us the truth of the Passover and given us eternal life to lead us into the spiritual world, the kingdom of heaven. Let's cling not to this visible world but to the spiritual world where we are going, preparing ourselves to go there. Glory and praise be to the Spirit and the Bride for ever and ever, who have taught us the truth of eternal life so that we may look forward to entering the kingdom of heaven, our eternal home.

May God bless you all.

Moses led the people through his conversations with God

The prophet Moses also had continual conversations with God when he led the Israelites from Egypt to Canaan, the land flowing with milk and honey. For it was impossible for him to lead such a great number of people to Canaan without God's help.

The Red Sea lay before them, and the Egyptian army was right behind them. At this desperate moment, Moses earnestly cried out to God, "Lord, what shall I do? I've been trying to lead Your people according to Your will. But now the Red Sea blocks our path in front of us. Please open the way before us." Then God immediately answered his prayer.

Ex 14:15-18 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Why are you crying out to me? Tell the Israelites to move on. Raise your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea to divide the water so that the Israelites can go through the sea on dry ground. ... "

Moses did as God had told him. As he followed God's direction, the Red Sea was divided so that about 600,000 men and all the women and children could go through the sea on dry ground. God Himself did everything that He had planned. Moses needed only to hear God speaking to him through prayer and follow His instruction.
After the Exodus, Moses continued his conversation with God so that he could cope with all the crisis situations in the desert.

Nu 11:1-2 Now the people complained about their hardships in the hearing of the LORD, and when he heard them his anger was aroused. Then fire from the LORD burned among them and consumed some of the outskirts of the camp. When the people cried out to Moses, he prayed to the LORD and the fire died down.

Nu 21:4-9 ... they spoke against God and against Moses, and said, "Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the desert? There is no bread! There is no water! And we detest this miserable food!" Then the LORD sent venomous snakes among them; they bit the people and many Israelites died. ... So Moses prayed for the people. The LORD said to Moses, "Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live." So Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, he lived.

Whenever calamities befell the people as the result of their sins, Moses mediated between God and the people. He prostrated himself in prayer and asked God to forgive their foolishness and rebellion and to guide him to the right path. God answered all his prayers and led him.

Moses intently focused on his conversation with God in order to lead one nation, Israel, to Canaan. Now, we are to lead all nations into the kingdom of heaven in obedience to the will of God. We should talk to God more frequently. What happens when we try to fulfill the great work of the gospel ministry without God's help? We will soon become frustrated and give up, being limited in our ability. However, if we have continual conversations with God, all doors will be opened for us.

Ask, seek, knock

Looking back at our prayer life, we can realize that all our prayers have been answered. As we prayed that we would be able to participate in the gospel, God has called us to be His fellow workers. As we prayed for world evangelism, God has opened the minds of all peoples in the world. Of course, this is a fulfillment of Bible prophecy, but our prayer can speed up God's prophetic timetable.

So Jesus tells us to always pray and not give up. He repeatedly emphasized the importance of prayer through His teaching as follows:

Lk 18:1-8 Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. He said: "In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared about men. And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, 'Grant me justice against my adversary.' For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, '... yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won't eventually wear me out with her coming!'" And the Lord said, "Listen to what the unjust judge says. And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? ... "

Lk 11:5-13 Then he said to them, "Suppose one of you has a friend, and he goes to him at midnight and says, 'Friend, lend me three loaves of bread, because a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have nothing to set before him.' ... though he will not get up and give him the bread because he is his friend, yet because of the man's boldness he will get up and give him as much as he needs. So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. ... If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!"

The unjust judge finally granted the widow's request because she came to him every day and cried, "Give me justice." And in another parable Jesus says that if one goes to his friend at midnight and persistently asks him for something, he will get up and give him as much as he needs because of his importunity, not because he is his friend. How much more will our Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to His children who ask Him! We need to understand what God is really talking about in the above parables.

God waits for His children to talk to Him. If we ask, seek and knock according to the will of God, we will receive, find everything and the door will be opened for us.

As children pester their parents constantly if they want something, so we should continually ask our heavenly Father and Mother to fulfill our spiritual wishes. God always answers our prayers unless we ask for things that may harm our future.

There should be frequent talks between family members. According to statistical survey, 95% of lawbreakers suffered from a lack of communication with their family members during their adolescent period. And according to another survey, a major cause of divorce is also the lack of communication.

Let us communicate intimately with our family members, and have more conversation with God. Conversation is necessary to preach the gospel. There should also be intimate communications among all the members of the Church. Through our mutual conversations, we will share things together, as a proverb says: "Shared joy is double joy. Shared sorrow is half sorrow."

However, we should avoid all ungracious conversations. When the people listened to the ten faithless spies, they became rebellious and disobedient to God. And Eve's conversation with the serpent brought all mankind's fall and death. We should not have a conversation unpleasing to God but talk about things that give faith, hope and courage, helping each other understand God's love.

God the Mother Heavenly Mother

God, our gracious Counselor

God is the most gracious counselor to us. God gives joy and courage to His children who talk to Him and also give whatever we ask for.

The Bible describes God as the 'Counselor' who counsels and helps us in all our troubles. As our Counselor, God provides us with a solution for every problem we face, small or great.

Solomon enjoyed talking to God. As a result, he gained wisdom and made his kingdom strong; and as a bonus, he received riches and honor, too. On the contrary, the kings of Israel who had no conversation with God did evil against Him. The absence of conversation with God, who is love, caused them to be tempted by evil spirits and manifest their evil tempers, which led to violence.

Let us fulfill the world mission through lots of conversations with God this year. In our continual conversation with God, we shall understand and follow the will of our heavenly Father and Mother.

Eph 6:10-19 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. ... Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests....

Though we put on the whole armor of the Holy Spirit, we can do nothing without prayer. In order to fully activate the power of the Holy Spirit within us, we should have an ongoing conversation with God.

Through conversations with God, we will be able to witness a miracle like the parting of the Red Sea. Let's diligently seek, knock and ask, so that we can preach the gospel to the ends of the earth. As heavenly children, we should have frequent conversation with God, seeking to develop a righteous character. Then God will allow us to bear much good fruit and save the whole world.


May God bless you all.

It is really hard for a person to have little or no conversation with the people around him. Like a felon, who is imprisoned in solitary confinement, completely isolated from others, we become spiritually disconnected from God if we do not have conversations with Him. In this situation, we can feel no joy, nor can we fully obey the will of God. 

Above all, we need to have a conversation with God in order to fulfill His will. For example, to obey the words of God-"Go and make disciples of all nations," we need to repeatedly ask God, "When shall I go? Of whom shall I make disciples? How shall I preach to them?" and continually pray to God to allow us circumstances to do as He has told. Only through continual conversations with God, we can fully obey Him. 

Mother told us to preach the gospel very actively, full of hope and laughter, this year. To obey the words of Mother, we should always talk to God through prayer and do what pleases God.

God Ahnsahnghong

Prayer is the breath of the soul

Let me talk about a brother. He was eager to put his faith into action, but at some moment his faith began to cool, without knowing the reason for that. It was not because he lacked confidence in the truth or because he was troubled or persecuted. Of course, he did not neglect studying and preaching the word of God.

He didn't realize why his faith was cooling down, and it troubled him. One day, he heard the news about a fire on TV. After that, his heart began to burn again. I asked him what made him restore his faith. He said that through the fire accident he realized something of great importance. When he was watching the news, he focused on the fact that most of the victims died of suffocation from the smoke rather than from the heat. Then suddenly he was reminded of God's words, "Prayer is the breath of the soul."

'What will happen if I do not breathe spiritually?' 

When he thought this way, he came to know the reason why he failed to stand firm in faith even though he diligently attended worship services and preached the gospel. Reflecting upon himself, he realized it was prayer, the breath of the soul, that he really needed. Though he believed in God, he wan't having earnest conversations with God; rather, he lived the gospel life by his own efforts and zeal. That was why his faith stagnated rather than grew.

He earnestly prayed for repentance, asking God to allow him to have a continuous conversations with Him. After that, he prayed to God for everything, no matter how small. As he talked to God in prayer every day, his heart overflowed with thankfulness even in distressing and difficult situations. His faith became much more active and stronger than ever before.

Christ Ahnsahnghong

Give yourselves to prayer at all times

As I heard of the brother's gracious enlightenment, I came to realize that our conversation with God is an important key to the growth of our faith. If one feels empty inside and the fervor of his faith diminishes, even though he is diligent in attending services and is active in gospel preaching, it shows that he does not have enough time to talk to God every day.

Now, let's take a look at ourselves. If we feel our soul becoming weary and losing its vigor, we need to ask ourselves how much time we spend in conversation with God. And we also need to examine ourselves whether we pray just mechanically.

We can not fulfill the gospel ministry with our own strength. We absolutely need help and advice from Almighty God. In spite of knowing all this, we do not often talk to God. So the Bible emphasizes that we should devote ourselves to prayer-a conversation with God.

Col 4:1-3 ... Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, ... 

Ro 12:9-12 Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

God has chosen us, knowing our weakness. What if we, who are so feeble and lacking in ability, try to do the gospel work with our own wisdom and strength, without asking God for help? Can we fulfill the work of God? Never.

God richly provides everything we need if we confess our weakness and ask Him for help. Our forefathers of faith described in the Bible gained wisdom, courage and strength through their conversations with God whenever they faced difficult and desperate situations.

God Almighty Christ Ahnsahnghong

Elijah gained courage through his conversation with God

When King Ahab reigned over the northern kingdom of Israel during the period of the Divided Kingdom, the prophet Elijah was delivering a message from God. There were 850 prophets of Baal and Asherah, who were supported by Jezebel, the Queen of Israel. Elijah fought all alone against the 850 false prophets at Mount Carmel and defeated them all with the strength provided by God. It was the power of prayer that enabled the great victory (1 Kings 18).

This made Jezebel furious. She tried to kill Elijah, and he fled from her into the wilderness. Then he said to God, "Lord, take my life; I am no better than my ancestors." "I have been very zealous for the LORD God Almighty. The Israelites have rejected your covenant, broken down your altars, and put your prophets to death with the sword. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me too."

God consoled Elijah and refreshed his weary soul and body. He thought he was alone, but God told him that there remained 7,000 faithful prophets. God's words gave him great joy and encouragement. Through his conversation with God, he took courage again, so he could carry out his mission as a prophet (1 Kings 19).

Thus, our forefathers of faith had continual conversations with God throughout their lives. Though the followers of God were inferior in number to the wicked and seemed far weaker than the evil ones, God encouraged the little flock, saying, "Do not fear," "Take heart," "I am with you," ....

With His powerful words, God floods our hearts with exceeding, overflowing joy. A continual conversation with God unceasingly inspires the courage and fervor of faith within ourselves.

May God bless you all.

God the Mother - Mystery of God

World Mission Society Church of God follows God the Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother Heavenly Mother New Jerusalem.

According to a chart I found online 33% of the World Population are Christians. That's 1/3rd of the Earth's habitants. 

However, among all these Christians, I can confidently say that less than 2 Million know the truth about God. This is already proven through the Bible.

Col 2:2 My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

Why does the Bible say that Christ is a mystery? 

What's so mysterious about Christ? 

Anyone can simply pick up a Bible and read. At least that's what most Christians do, and this is why they say "I have a personal relationship with Jesus". Then what about this verse? We can't say the Bible is wrong and insist in our own opinion. We must know and understand what this means.

2 Cor 4:4 "The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

That is the Mystery of Christ = The Image of God (Gen 1:26,27). 

The mystery is that God is not only Male but also Female. the Male image of God we call God our Father (Heb 12:9) and the Female image of God, God our Mother (Gal 4:26). 

Only in Zion, World Mission Society Church of God we know about the Heavenly Mother Jerusalem. Just like the Old Testament testified about Jesus Christ so the Old and New Testament testify about Heavenly Mother.

May God bless you all.

World Mission Society Church of God - Children of Heavenly Jerusalem Mother

World Mission Society Church of God follows God the Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother Heavenly Mother New Jerusalem.

The Bible says that we are “children of promise like Isaac”; what condition of faith is required for us to become like Isaac. The most important factor that decided the heir of Abraham was Sarah, the mother of Isaac. Ishmael was also a son of Abraham, but his mother was a slave.

God suggested two conditions for being te heir of Abraham. The first condition was that he should come from Abraham’s own body, and the second and final condition was that he should come from Sara’s own body. God did not acknoledge anyone who did not come the body of Abraham as of Sarah as Abraham’s heir, that is, his first born son.

We have God our Mother, the holy Jerusalem, who is free (Gal.4:26). No one can be an heir of God except through God the Mother, only through Her we can receive salvation!

May God bless you all.

Christ Ahnsahnghong - God's Appointed Feast, the Day of Firstfruits

World Mission Society Church of God follows God the Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother Heavenly Mother New Jerusalem.

Let us introduce the seven feasts in three times, that is, the seven thunders which were unsealed by Christ Ahnsahnghong who came again as the Root of David.

The word "Elohim" directly translates to "Gods." The Bible testifies that God exists in the female image, God the Mother, as well as the male image, God the Father. 

Origin

When the nervous Israelites were being chased by the Egyptian army, God allowed them to cross the Red Sea under His protection, even though they had been so terrified. When God put the Sea?which had been divided?back in its place, the Egyptian army that had pursued them was buried in water. God commanded the Israelites to annually commemorate the day when they had landed on the other side of the Red Sea, so that they might remember God's great power revealed on that day. This is the origin of the Day of Firstfruits (Ex. 14:26-31). 

Ceremony

The word "firstfruits" reveals its meaning. On the day after the Sabbath, the Israelites brought a sheaf of the first grain to the priest, and the priest waved the sheaf before God so that it could be accepted on behalf of the people (Lev. 23: 9-11). 

On the same day, in the New Testament times, Jesus gave bread to two disciples who were traveling to a village named Emmaus. After the disciples broke the bread that Jesus had given to them, their spiritual eyes were opened, and they recognized Him (Luke 24:13-35). 

Prophecy and Its Fulfillment

As God had commanded, the priests were to wave a sheaf of the first grain before the LORD on the day after the Sabbath (Sunday) so that God would accept their offering.

Lev. 23:10-12 『"When you enter the land I am going to give you and you reap its harvest, bring to the priest a sheaf of the first grain you harvest. He is to wave the sheaf before the LORD so it will be accepted on your behalf; the priest is to wave it on the day after the Sabbath."』 

Here, the first grain?the firstfruits?stands for Christ, who was raised from the dead as the firstfruits of those who had fallen asleep.

1 Cor. 15:20 『But Christ had indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.』

The offering to be presented on the Day of Firstfruits, a sheaf of the first grain, was to be brought to God on the day after the Sabbath?that is, Sunday. The firstfruits stand for Christ, so it is only logical that Resurrection Day, when Jesus rose from death, would be on Sunday, the day after the Sabbath.

Mark 16:2-6 『Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb and they asked each other, "Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?" But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away..."You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here."』

The Day of Firstfruits is the shadow of Resurrection Day. As the Day of Firstfruits was celebrated on the day after the Sabbath, Sunday, so Resurrection Day is to be celebrated on Sunday, in fulfillment of the prophecy. Therefore the Day of Firstfruits, Resurrection Day, is celebrated on Sunday every year. By rising from the dead as the firstfruits of those who had fallen asleep, Jesus became the true offering of the Day of Firstfruits, belonging to the seven feasts of three times. 

Matt. 27:52-53 『The tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. They came out of the tombs, and after Jesus' resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many people.』 

In those days, the holy people who had been saved through the gospel became the ripe grains of the wheat harvest, and today, we have become the ripe grains of the last autumn harvest (Ex. 23:16).

May God bless you all.

World Mission Society Church of God - God the Mother, Heavenly Mother, Completes the Family

World Mission Society Church of God follows God the Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother Heavenly Mother New Jerusalem.

God said that They created the physical things to teach us about the physical things, basically (Rom. 1:19-20). So if we understand the systems of this earth we can understand the systems of heaven (Heb. 8:5). When you read Heb. 8:5, please don’t think because it’s talking about the system of the sanctuary in that verse that the same teaching doesn’t apply to other system. For instance, the Judicial system is clearly seen in the Bible though the Bible does not say specifically that the earthly justice system exist as well as a heavenly one:

Christ speaks in our defense (Christ is our counselor, lawyer 1 John 2:1); it’s in our defense, so we are the defendant; Satan is always the accuser; and of course, God is the Judge. Yet the Bible doesn’t say plainly there’s a court system in heaven also.

Likewise, although God didn’t say plainly there’s a heavenly family system as there is an earthly one. It’s understood that it exist by even the way Jesus told us to pray:

Matt. 6:9 “This, then, is how you should pray: “‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,”

Why did Jesus specifically teach us to call God Father? The word Father automatically implies the existence of a family, because only a man with children can be called a father. (Heb. 12:9) Then also, the children of God must exist.

Matt. 12:50 For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.”

The spiritual brothers and sisters can be distinguished by if they do God’s will, but they do exist. Yet in a family, the man cannot be called father unless he has children, and children cannot exist unless who gives birth to them? Then the mom is the true glue of the family and the reason either title exist. The earthly shadow exist because the heavenly reality  exist – so if there exist mothers on this earth as a shadow, shouldn’t there exist in reality the heavenly Mother?

Church of God World Mission Society has been proclaiming the existence of God the Mother because according to the prophecy the 2nd Coming Christ, Christ Ahn Sahng Hong, has shown us the true source of eternal life. That’s why when Father came the first time as Jesus, He always waited until the last days to raise us up (give us life). Funny how God uses the word ‘raise us up in the last days’ when it’s the mom who ‘raises’ the children in a family. Okay, that was a side note, lol. Anyway, God the Mother exists according to the Bible, even Apostle Paul testified about Her:

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

As the Bible says God is Our Father, so it also testifies She is Our Mother regarding the Heavenly Jerusalem. It is because She is here the Bible makes sense now.

"But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother."

May God bless you all.

World Mission Society Church of God Spreads a New Song in This Age!

World Mission Society Church of God follows God the Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother Heavenly Mother New Jerusalem.

Anyone who knows me, knows that I love music. What I have found myself listening to the most recently is New Song Radio.

What is New Song Radio?

I could go on and on–really–but I’ll just let you check it out for yourself (www.NewSongRadio.com). My husband and I sometimes stay up to listen to the show live on Sunday evenings, but I had to take a rest this week after my eventful weekend with my relatives from Arkansas. We had a great time–much better than I had expected. We laughed as we took a trip down memory lane. We even sang songs together like old times. I had fun trying to harmonize and feel out the alto part. I must admit, I am a little out of practice…

This is exactly why I usually leave the singing to the professionals. The only exception is when I am in church service.  When I sing to Heavenly Father and Mother on the Sabbath and during the various Feasts of God, I really let it out. Singing together with one mind and in unity with my brothers and sisters is priceless.

I am so thankful for the New Song Radio broadcast, because through it I feel more connected to all of my brothers and sisters around the world. It makes me think of the verse in 2 Peter 5, where it talks about how my “brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.” I can hear that across the globe the children of God are working hard to preach the Gospel and spread the love of God the Mother. I am a fan of philantropy and am actively participating in the ”Green” movement at my office, so it is refreshing to hear about all of the community service projects that the youth are planning at the World Mission Society Church of God. I really hope that Tony can get involved very soon. I think it will help him to break out of his shell a little.

I sincerely do not want to sound like an advertisement, but if you do get the chance, check out the New Song Radio broadcast, and have an open mind. You might be amazed at what you feel.

May God bless you all.

World Mission Society Church of God Searching for Our Lost Family

World Mission Society Church of God follows God the Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother Heavenly Mother New Jerusalem.

To continue our discussion regarding hidden mysteries since the creation of the world, I would like to briefly discuss the hidden mystery, purpose, and reason for our existance upon this earth. As we previously saw, the Bible has testified about Heavenly Mother since the creation of the world. However, we never saw this amazing truth before studying at the Church of God. After realizing that not only do we have Heavenly Father, but also Heavenly Mother, we come to understand God’s divine purpose and reason in creating the family system on this earth (Romans 1:19-20), so that we may recognize that we also have a heavenly family. Which leads into the next mystery that I want to share, another amazing Biblical truth that I was shocked to find I had never learned before in all my years attending Sunday-worshipping churches.

World Mission Society Church of God is Searching for Lost Family. If you believe in a religion, what do you pursue through that religion? As a ship drifts with the current if it has no sail, so we become tossed about in the storms of life if we have no goal in life. It is the same in our life of faith: If we have no goal in our religious life, we will drift about.

From the viewpoint of Christianity, the goal of our faith in God is to enter the kingdom of heaven. Then, why do we want to go to heaven? It’s because the kingdom of heaven is our spiritual home where we had been before we were born in this world.

Why are we here on earth and what do we live for? Where are we from and where are we going? Many have made every effort ot solve this problem. But they have not found the answer yet, because they’ve tried to solve it through philosophy or theology, w/o understanding the will of God. Our spirits didn’t come into existance simultaneously with the birth of our bodies, but already existed in heaven. (Genesis 2:7 & Ecclesiastes 12:7) By sinning against God, however, our spirits were clothed in the tent of the body like a prison and cast out into the earth.

We are from heaven. Our forefathers admitted that they were aliens and strangers on earth. Why did they say that? Because they were looking for their own country where they had been before. (Hebrews 11:13-16, John 6:38, Luke 19:10) Putting the previous verses together, we come to a conclusion that Jesus came into the world to seek and to save the lost from heaven. When we study carefully Jesus’ words we can see that we are the lost ones. (Luke 15:3-7)

Why were we born on earth? Romans 3:10-12 & Luke 5:31-32 reveals that all of us our sinners… but then, where did we sin? Ezekiel 28:12-16 &Revelation 12:7-9 reveal mysteries to us about our sin in heaven and also how the enemy and his angels were also thrown to earth… proving to us that all men are sinners expelled from heaven. Then how can we go back? Certainly we cannot go back if we hold onto our sin. We must get rid of our sins and be forgiven by God.

Ephesians 1:7 shows us to be redeemed/forgiven is only through Christ’s blood… but how can we receive His blood?The Bible testifies in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John that the only way for us to receive the blood of Christ is through the Passover of the NEW COVENANT. However, this precious truth was abolished in 325 AD by Constantine during the Council of Nicea. This was the work of the enemy trying to prevent the children of God from entering back into heaven. Would God leave the situation in this way? Absolutely not. That is why the Bible prophesied the return of Christ in Hebrews 9:28. As of His return, The Church of God World Mission Society is the only church to keep the NEW CONVENANT according to all its rules and regulations. That is why the Church of God World Mission Society is eagerly seeking and searching for ALL its lost family members, so united they can go back home. As the movie Lilo and Stich says, “Family means no one gets left behind.”

May God bless you all.

World Mission Society Church of God - Solomon's Judgment and God the Mother 2

World Mission Society Church of God follows God the Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother Heavenly Mother New Jerusalem. 

Our Heavenly Mother is the true Mother in this age.
Only our God the Mother can give us spiritual life.

Biblical testimonies to our heavenly Mother

We need to receive wisdom from God like Solomon, in order that we may discern our true Mother. Through the history of Creation in six days, we can clearly find our Father and our Mother as well, the Creators.

Ge 1:26-27 『Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground." So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.』

God created man in His own image, then male and female were created in the image of God. This proves that there is the female image of God as well as the male image of God. We call the male image of God "Father." What should we call the female image of God? 

When God created man, He said, "Let us make man." It is Elohim [God the Father and God the Mother] who said, "Let us . . ." here. 

The devil knows well that if our spiritual eyes are opened to recognize our Mother, his world will be destroyed soon. So what he fears the most is that the glory of our Mother is revealed. Eve was to be the serpent's enemy as described in Genesis. 

Ge 3:14-15 『So the Lord God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, "Cursed are you above all the livestock and all the wild animals! You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life. And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel."』 

There is an enmity between the serpent and the woman, the devil and the Mother. God put enmity between them in order to reveal the heavenly Mother to us. 

The ancient serpent, the devil, is basically the enemy of our Mother and also the enemy of ours. If those on Mother's side become strong, those on Satan's side naturally become weak. The serpent crushes our heel, but we shall crush his head and finally win the victory over him. While crushing the head is fatal, striking the heel will not cause death. 

Under the Old Law, he who did not obey his father and mother was considered evil and put to death (Dt 21:18-21). God's laws given in the Old Testament were only a shadow of the heavenly things. The law in Deuteronomy 21 shows that if one does not obey the spiritual Father and Mother, he will not enter into eternal life but go into destruction. 

Unless we find our Mother, we become spiritually orphaned. Satan, who knows this, has deceived the world into believing that there is no Mother. 

So the people cannot even imagine that God the Mother exists, calling God, "Father, Father." However, we belong to God; our Father has made known to us our heavenly Mother and brought us into Her arms. We truly give thanks to our Father for this. 

Divine providence revealed by the sun and moon and stars

God's existence is evident to us through nature which He created. We can confirm the existence of our heavenly Mother through the sun, the moon and stars. 

Ge 37:9-10 『Then he had another dream, and he told it to his brothers. "Listen," he said, "I had another dream, and this time the sun and moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me." When he told his father as well as his brothers, his father rebuked him and said, "What is this dream you had? Will your mother and I and your brothers actually come and bow down to the ground before you?"』 

Joseph, the eleventh son of Jacob, had a dream in which the sun and moon and eleven stars bowed down to him. When he told the dream to his family, his father scolded him, saying, "Will I and your mother and brothers bow down to you?" Why did Jacob interpret the sun, moon and the stars as symbolical of his household?

This is not just a dream. Through Joseph's dream and its interpretation, God has made known to us our heavenly family relationship: our Father represented by the sun, our Mother by the moon, and we the children by the stars. When the Apostle Paul wrote to the churches in Corinth, he explained that the sun has its own glory, the moon another glory, and the stars a different glory.

1 Co 15:38-41 『But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own body. All flesh is not the same: Men have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another and fish another. There are also heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies; but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is another. The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.』 

The above verses say that there are many stars, and that one star differs from another in glory; the sun or the moon is not mentioned to be many. As it is written in Da 12:3 that "those who lead many to righteousness will shine like the stars for ever and ever," God's children are compared to the stars. So the sun represents the Father, the moon the Mother, and the stars the children.

God's invisible power and divine nature are reflected in all things (Ro 1:20). Nature created by God serves as a textbook that teaches us God's providence. In the daytime, when the sun shines, the moon and stars do not appear. However, when the sun is sinking behind the western hills, then the moon appears, accompanied by the stars. 

God said that He would give us, His children, honor and praise among all the peoples of the earth in the last days (Zep 3:18-20). For this, the Father's ministry of the gospel must be completed and our Mother has to appear. So the Father accomplished His ministry of 37 years according to the prophecy of King David, and then the glory of the Mother along with ours began to appear. Without Mother, we cannot reach eternal salvation, nor can we share in the heavenly glory. To prevent people from realizing that, the devil blinds their eyes, stops their ears and hardens their hearts.

Let us be like Solomon

Jesus spoke the following phrase: ". . . as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings . . . ." At a hen's clucking, not a rooster's crow, chicks gather. Likewise, at Mother's loving voice, the children of heaven, scattered throughout the world, return to Her. 

Mother cries out, "Do no harm to My children," enduring heartbreaking pain. Mother's earnest cry will be a message of life that awakens the spirits of the children deceived by Satan. 

We shall be joyful always, for our heavenly Mother is with us. With a firm faith in Mother's existence, we the children of Zion shall stand up against the evil tricks of the devil who tries to blind our minds so that we cannot realize Mother. Let's all be like Solomon and help our brothers and sisters, who are wandering around like orphans all over the world, to know our Mother and meet Her. 

Col 3:1 『Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.』 

God's children must find the Jerusalem that is above, the heavenly Mother. The devil our wicked enemy slanders us and entices us with lies so that we will not know the existence of Mother. However, we belong to God, our Father and Mother. 

Children of Zion! Let's not forget the love and grace of our heavenly Father and Mother who have come to save us. We are obligated to preach the good news to the ends of the earth. Like Solomon, let us lead our brothers and sisters, scattered among all nations, into the loving arms of our heavenly Mother, who always cares about the lives of Her children. Let them hear our Mother's earnest voice!

May God bless you all.

World Mission Society Church of God - Solomon's Judgment and God the Mother 1

World Mission Society Church of God follows God the Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother Heavenly Mother New Jerusalem.

Our Heavenly Mother is the true Mother in this age.
Only our God the Mother can give us spiritual life.

The Bible testifies about God; it testifies of Elohim [Gods]―God the Father and God the Mother. The 66 books of the Bible consistently speak not only the truth about God the Father but also the truth about God the Mother, through the relationship between Adam and Eve, the history of Abraham's Family, the prophecy of the New Jerusalem, and so on. 

To know Christ as the Father and Mother is the greatest mystery of the Bible. The god of this world [the devil] has blinded people's minds, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ (2 Co 4:4). 

Only those who are redeemed through the blood of Christ can receive wisdom and understanding from God and realize the mystery of God. 

Solomon's wise judgment

Solomon is known as the wisest man in the world. He was the son of King David and the third king of Israel. He was famous for his wisdom; people from all nations came to hear his wisdom. 

The Bible records that Solomon was given wisdom by God. He offered a thousand burnt offerings and prayed earnestly, and God appeared to him in a dream. Then he asked God for wisdom and understanding to discern justice. There continuously arose many disputes among his people; so he asked for wisdom to become a fair judge as their king, that he might discern right and wrong and none of them would suffer the injustice of being subject to a bad judgment. 

God granted him not only the wisdom, but also the riches and honor which he did not ask for. King Solomon surpassed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom. God's wisdom was reflected in Solomon's decision. Among all his judicial decisions, the Bible precisely records only one case in which he discovered who the true mother was. 

1 Ki 3:16-28 『. . . One of them said, "My lord, this woman and I live in the same house . . . The third day after my child was born, this woman also had a baby. We were alone; there was no one in the house but the two of us. During the night this woman's son died because she lay on him . . . So she got up in the middle of the night and took my son from my side while I your servant was asleep. She put him by her breast and put her dead son by my breast. The next morning, I got up to nurse my son―and he was dead! But when I looked at him closely in the morning light, I saw that it wasn't the son I had borne." The other woman said, "No! The living one is my son; the dead one is yours." But the first one insisted, "No! The dead one is yours; the living one is mine." And so they argued before the king. The king said, ". . . Bring me a sword." So they brought a sword for the king. He then gave an order: "Cut the living child in two and give half to one and half to the other." The woman whose son was alive was filled with compassion for her son and said to the king, "Please, my lord, give her the living baby! Don't kill him!" But the other said, "Neither I nor you shall have him. Cut him in two!" Then the king gave his ruling: "Give the living baby to the first woman. Do not kill him; she is his mother." When all Israel heard the verdict the king had given, they held the king in awe, because they saw that he had wisdom from God to administer justice.』 

There was no witness, and the two women in dispute over one living baby appealed to Solomon for justice, each claiming to be the birth mother of the living child. Solomon discovered the true mother of the baby by her love for her child, and returned the living son to her.

In Solomon's judgment, we find out that his God-given wisdom enabled him to discern the true mother. The Bible testifies of God, and everything that was written in the past was written to teach us (Jn 5:39; Ro 15:4). The story of Solomon's judgment between the two mothers was not written to admire his wisdom, but to testify of God and teach us something spiritual.

God's wisdom manifested in Solomon's judgment

God gave wisdom to Solomon, that he could recognize who the true mother was and gave the real mother back her child. Likewise, God in His wisdom has made known to us the heavenly Mother. We have received our heavenly Mother; like Solomon, we should help the poor souls wandering aimlessly around the world and let them know who the true Mother is.

Gal 4:26-31 『But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother. For it is written: "Be glad, O barren woman, who bears no children; break forth and cry aloud, you who have no labor pains; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband." Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise. At that time the son born in the ordinary way persecuted the son born by the power of the Spirit. It is the same now. But what does the Scripture say? "Get rid of the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman's son will never share in the inheritance with the free woman's son." Therefore, brothers, we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman.』 

The Bible clearly tells us that there is our spiritual Mother above (in heaven). We were angels in heaven, but our sins separated us from our Mother and caused us to be cast down to the earth. Because of the sins we had committed in heaven, we lost our memory and couldn't remember our Mother. 

Our sins caused our Mother to come from heaven to this earth (Isa 50:1). The Apostle John saw in a vision the new Jerusalem, the Bride of the Lamb, coming down out of heaven. "More are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband." This prophecy implies that our Mother raises Her children alone here on earth after our Father went up to heaven but She has even more children than any woman who has a husband. 

The evil one teaches that Mother does not exist

The Bible clearly reveals the existence of the spiritual Mother. However, our wicked enemy the devil has been deceiving all people for thousands of years into believing that Mother does not exist. He teaches lies and people foolishly believe them. In Revelation, we can see that the devil deceives all people living on the earth.

Rev 13:6-15 『He opened his mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven. He was given power to make war against the saints and to conquer them . . . Because of the signs he was given power to do on behalf of the first beast, he deceived the inhabitants of the earth . . .』

The devil is the deceiver of deceivers. When he tempted Eve in the Garden of Eden, he wickedly perverted God's word and deceived her into following his way. And now he is deceiving the inhabitants of the earth into believing that Mother does not exist. 

It is clearly recorded in the Bible, "our Mother," so that everybody can easily see. Nevertheless, most people deny the existence of Mother and reject Her. It is because they are spiritually deceived by Satan. Once they are tempted, although we show them clear and convincing evidence that Mother exists, they would not accept it. 

1 Jn 5:18-19? 『We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the one who was born of God keeps him safe, and the evil one cannot harm him. We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one.』 

We belong to God, but the whole world is under the rule of the evil one. The devil, the wicked one, makes up many lies and teaches them. One of them is that God the Mother does not exist. The whole world has been deceived by his false teaching. 

Think of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Eating the fruit of the tree would result in death. However, when Adam and Eve looked at the fruit after being tempted by Satan, it looked good for food, pleasant to the eyes and also desirable to make one wise. Being deceived, they lost the ability to discern between good and evil.

May God bless you all.

Christ Ahnsahnghong - God's Appointed Feast, Unleavened Bread

World Mission Society Church of God follows God the Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother Heavenly Mother New Jerusalem.

Let us introduce the seven feasts in three times, that is, the seven thunders which were unsealed by Christ Ahnsahnghong who came again as the Root of David.

The Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is celebrated on the fifteenth day of the first month, according to the sacred calendar, is the feast that commemorates Christ's suffering on the cross (Lev. 23:6). The Church of God celebrates the Feast of Unleavened Bread on the fifteenth day of the first month by the sacred calendar, following the teachings of Second Coming Christ Ahnsahnghong. 

Origin of the Feast of Unleavened Bread

This feast originated from the Israelites' suffering, from all the trials that they had experienced from the time they had kept the Passover and left Egypt, until the time they had crossed the Red Sea. 

Pharaoh, king of Egypt, released the Israelites from their Egyptian bondage, but immediately changed his mind. He sent all the chariots of Egypt to chase after them—including six hundred of the country's best chariots—to capture the Israelites and bring them back to Egypt. As Pharaoh's army approached, the Israelites were terrified and cried out to the LORD. At that moment, the LORD God divided the Red Sea by Moses' staff, revealing dry ground between the two walls of water. It is written that God allowed six-hundred thousand men to safely cross the Red Sea.

Then, how many women and children do you think were among them? God protected the Israelites from the Egyptian army by a pillar of cloud and a pillar of fire, delaying the Egyptians' ability to chase after God's people. We can only assume how hasty and nervous the fugitives' hearts were at that time. All of the difficulties and hardships that the Israelites endured during this time period became the origin of the Feast of Unleavened Bread (Ex. 14:1-31). 

Ceremony

In the Old Testament times, God commanded His people to eat unleavened bread (made without yeast) and bitter herbs, so that they would remember the suffering of the Israelites. The unleavened bread was also called the "bread of affliction" (Deut. 16:3). These events were a prophecy to reveal that Jesus would suffer, being hung on the cross. In the New Testament times, we participate in Christ's suffering by fasting, according to God's command. 

Mark 2:20 『"But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them, and on that day they will fast."』 

Prophecy and Its Fulfillment

The Feast of Unleavened Bread is a feast of suffering, representing the Crucifixion of Jesus.

The Israelites' traveling into the Red Sea represented Jesus' going into the tomb. Their landing on the other side of the Sea represented His resurrection, the significance of which is implied in the baptism that we undergo now.

On the Feast of Unleavened Bread, Moses led the natural Israelites from Egypt into the Desert of Sinai, and on this feast Jesus led the spiritual Israelites from this sinful world—the reality of Egypt—into the desert of faith. Whoever believes in Christ and is baptized has symbolically crossed the Red Sea and entered the desert of faith. When we commemorate the Feast of Unleavened Bread, we participate in Christ's suffering, and we are given the power from God to endure the tribulations and hardships that we will be faced with (Luke 22:43-44).

May God bless you all.

World Mission Society Church of God - God the Mother, Elohim God Revealed Throughout the Bible

World Mission Society Church of God follows God the Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother Heavenly Mother New Jerusalem.

Elohim God revealed in the book of Isaiah

We can confirm the existence of Elohim God through the book of Isaiah as well.

Isa. 6:8 『Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”』

When God was searching for a man to preach His words, God said, “Who will go for us?” instead of saying, “Who will go for me?” This reveals that not only the Father was working, but that there was a Mother who was working as well.

Elohim God revealed in the book of Jeremiah

In the book of Jeremiah we can also find references to Elohim God.

Jer. 31:22 『…The LORD will create a new thing on earth-a woman will surround a man.』

God said that He would create a new thing: a woman would surround a man. Spiritually, this verse has a very profound meaning. The woman, Eve, had once been inside the man. If God had not made the woman with the ribs He had taken out of the man, how could the woman have been able to surround the man? The new thing, that God said He would bring to the earth, would be the revealing of Mother, who has been within God the Father since the beginning. The new thing would be created at the time God established the new covenant.

Jer. 31:31-34 『”The time is coming,” declares the LORD, “when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah…”I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest.”』

In the Hebrew Bible, the word “God” is actually written as “Elohim”-”I will be their God [Elohim].” “Elohim” is the plural form of the word “Eloha,” meaning a singular God. Therefore, “Elohim” means “Gods,” plural. Once we can understand the concept of Elohim God through the new covenant, we no longer need men to teach us to know God, because we will all know God, from the least of us to the greatest. In the truth of the new covenant, we can only become the children of God when we have God the Father and God the Mother, our Elohim God.

When Elohim God created male and female, They said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness.” When Elohim God punished the evil acts of God’s people, They said, “Let us go down.” When the Gods called to Isaiah, They said, “Who will go for us?” Throughout the Bible, God has existed as the male God and the female God: Elohim.

May God bless you all.

World Mission Society Church of God - Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother Who are the Elohim God

World Mission Society Church of God follows God the Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother Heavenly Mother New Jerusalem.

Elohim God Revealed in the Book of Genesis

Gen. 1:26-27 『Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness,”…So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.』

Both males and females were created in the image of God, and thus it is clear that God has two images: a male image and a female image. When God said, “Let us make man in our image,” God used the word “us”-a plural term-instead of using “me.” We come to understand that not one God, but two Gods-a Father and a Mother-worked together during the Creation. Such plural terms are used to describe God in Genesis chapter 11, also.

Gen. 11:1-7 『…The LORD said…”Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”』

This verse, too, makes reference to Elohim God, the same God who created male and female (in Genesis chapter 1), saying, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness.” In Genesis chapter 11, God was responding to the arrogance of the people, who had collectively built the tower of Babel. Through this situation, God testifies that there exists a God the Mother as well as a God the Father by saying, “Let us go down…”

May God bless you all.

World Mission Society Church of God - God the Mother, Proclaim the Glory of Jerusalem to the World 3

World Mission Society Church of God follows God the Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother Heavenly Mother New Jerusalem.

World Mission Society Church of God- In this age,only God the Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother (Heavenly Mother) can give us salvation.

The heavenly inheritance is given through Mother

The history of Abraham's family shows through whom we can become God's chil-dren and inherit the kingdom of God. God has made those who are like Isaac children of promise and allowed them the blessing of eternal life. As Isaac was designated as Abraham's heir through his mother, so we can become God's heirs through our Mother and enjoy the precious blessing of eternal life.

Those who do not know Jerusalem our Mother can never become children of promise like Isaac. God said, "A son coming from your own body will be your heir." Ishmael was the first begotten son of Abraham, who was 14 years older than Isaac. Nevertheless, why didn't God accept Ishmael as Abraham's heir? Ishmael represents those who know God only as Father. However, the Bible clearly shows that there is God the Mother as well.

God has determined not to give the heavenly inheritance to those who have no part with Him. He doesn't accept the people, who believe in God the Father but do not believe in God the Mother, as His heirs. It is Mother who holds the final key. Everything on this earth is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. If we think about why God lets the physical life be given through a mother, we can understand what the divine will is.

Surely there is a reason why God establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of the earth. The history of Abraham's family shows how much Mother has suffered until She is glorified. However, it expresses just a little bit of Her suffering. Until we've received eternal life promised by God, there's been the great sacrifice of Mother, who has suffered so much for 6,000 years in order to lead Her children to heaven. Mother grants us, Her children, eternal life through Her invisible, inexpressible pains. That's why God does not rest until He makes Mother the praise of the earth. The Bible describes the scene that God's children, who have received Jerusalem Mother, nurse and are satisfied at Her comforting breasts, delighting in Her overflowing abundance, like a child.

Heavenly Mother whom the Bible testifies about

The existence of our heavenly Mother is already recorded in Genesis. Let's look back to the time when our heavenly Mother did the work of creation together with our heavenly Father.

Gen 1:26-28 "Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground." So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. ..."

When God created man in His own image, male and female were created in the image of God. This suggests that there are two images of God: male and female. That's why God said when creating man, "Let us make man ...," instead of saying, "I will make man..."

Even before the creation of the world, both images of God already existed: the male image of God and the female image of God. Therefore, those who have received only God the Father cannot be God's heirs. Although they live together in Abraham's family and call him Lord or Father, they cannot inherit his estate, just as Eliezer and Ishmael, who were not children of Sarah, didn't inherit Abraham's property.

If we just call out to God without knowing Him correctly, we cannot communicate with God. We can worship God rightly when we know Him. Keeping the will of God in mind, we should quickly proclaim Jerusalem our Mother, who is life, to all the nations of the world. As the eternal kingdom of God is close at hand, we will bear more good fruit if we fully proclaim the glory of Jerusalem our Mother. God's prophecy must surely be fulfilled if we believe in it and put it into practice.

Proclaim the glory of the new Jerusalem to the whole world

We have to fulfill the prophecies of the Bible diligently. Young adult members like the dew of the dawn must arise; the gospel must be preached to all nations; and the prophesied 144,000, whom John saw, will all come to Mount Zion and be guided by the Spirit and the Bride.

We must not delay doing God's work. Even at this moment, time passes away. Making the most of every moment, let's proclaim the glory of Jerusalem our heavenly Mother all the more. Some will probably intend to defame the glory of Jerusalem, like Tobiah and Sanballat. However, even amid their hindrance, the city of Jerusalem was completed without fail, because it was the work of the Holy Spirit, not something men could accomplish by themselves.

We all experienced the work of the Holy Spirit during the Preaching Festival of the Feast of Tabernacles. The number of the souls we found during the week of the Preaching Festival is almost the same as the number of the souls whom we had found for a year. How can we say it's the work of men? Since we all became one with filial piety toward Jerusalem our Mother, the gracious work of the Holy Spirit occurred, like a good son in an ancient Korean story who moved heaven and was able to find strawberries for his old mother in the middle of the winter.

Now, through the fire of the Holy Spirit, let's proclaim the glory of Jerusalem our Mother to the whole world. Then the people of all nations will come together to see the glory of God, and when each of them returns he will proclaim God's glory in his country (Isa 66:18-19). How amazing!

It is our mission to proclaim the glory of Jerusalem throughout the whole world. When Gideon's army of 300 soldiers broke the jars, held the torches hidden in them and shouted, "For the LORD!" they were able to defeat 135,000 men and won a great victory. Likewise, when we shout out the glory of Jerusalem, a marvelous work will occur. Now is the time for us to break the jars and hold the torches high. Let's shout altogether, lifting up the torches. Let us all arise and shine the light of the gospel to the whole world. Looking forward to the day when God's glory will be shone brightly all over the world, let us diligently proclaim the light of the glory of the new Jerusalem to the whole world.

May God bless you all.
