World Mission Society Church of God - The Fig Tree Lesson - Church of God world mission society


Do you want to know about Second coming Christ?

In the Bible it is prophesied that Jesus Christ will appear a second time (Heb. 9:28). Then, when is Jesus supposed to appear again for a second time?

Many people say that we will not know when He will come, but we must see if the Bible discloses when Jesus will come.

SIGNS OF THE END

When the disciples asked about Jesus’ Second Coming and the end of the age, Jesus replied:

Matt 24:3-33 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”…”Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door.

Jesus said, “as soon as it’s twigs get tender and it’s leaves come out, you know that it is near”, then, we have to find out when will the fig tree bloom and therefore understand the timing of Jesus’ second appearing.

THE FIG TREE STAND FOR ISRAEL

In order to realize the meaning of the parable we must understand what the fig tree represents. As it is written,

Luke 13:6-7 Then he told this parable: “A man had a fig tree, planted in his vineyard, and he went to look for fruit on it, but did not find any. So he said to the man who took care of the vineyard, ‘For three years now I’ve been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any. Cut it down! Why should it use up the soil?’

Why did Jesus compare Himself to a man who when to look for fruit on a fig tree planted in a vineyard?What is the meaning of this? It’s meaning is that Jesus preached the gospel to the Israelites for three years searching for the fruit of the gospel. Therefore, the fig tree represents for the country of Israel.

Isa 5:7 For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry. (KJV )

In the above verse we can understand that in the Bible the vineyard represents the country of Israel and the plant (the tree) represents the people of Israel. Let’s look at another biblical testimony concerning this.

Jer. 24:5 Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge them that are carried away captive of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans for their good.

Through this verse God makes it apparent that figs represent Israel, since He compared the figs to the people of Israel once more.

THE FALL OF ISRAEL

In Luke 13:7 Jesus told His disciples to cut down a fig that had not borne any fruit. Actually Jesus’ words at that time was a prophesy of what was going to happen to Israel. As a fulfillment to what Jesus had said, Israel which had rejected the gospel that Jesus preached was completely devastated by Roman soldiers in A.D. 70. After it’s collapse, the people were scattered all over the world as a stateless people for more than 1900 years.

THE REVIVAL OF THE FIG TREE: ISREAL

After much time had passed, the fig tree that had been cut down and withered from the roots began to bloom once more. It’s twigs got tender and its leaves began to sprout. When did all this happen? The revival of the fig tree occurred in 1948. On May 14, 1948, Israel proclaimed her independence and recovered her sovereignty. The fig tree which seemed to have with no sign of revival actually resuscitated. Israel’s independence after such a long time of captivity marked the second coming of Jesus as prophesied. He has come again but with the name Christ Ahnsahnghong. Christ Ahnsahnghong is the one we all have been waiting for. That is why the Church of God received Christ Ahnsahnghong, the second coming Jesus, as the Savior.

Rom 11:26 And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: The deliverer will come from Zion; he will turn godlessness away from Jacob.

According to the prophesy revealed through the fig tree, Ahnsahnghong, the Second Coming Jesus, came from Zion in 1948. Now He is calling you. Will you let Him just stand at your door? Or, will you open and receive Him?

Church of God - Ahnsahnghong - Prophecy and Its Fulfillment

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).

Ceremony of The Day of Firstfruits - Ahnsahnghong - Church of God

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).

Origin of The Day of Firstfruits - Ahnsahnghong

Origin of The Day of Firstfruits

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).

Ahnsahnghong - The Day of Firstfruits

The Day of Firstfruits
Resurrection Day, on which Jesus rose from death, is a memorial to commemorate God's great power. In the Old Testament times, this day was known as the Day of Firstfruits. It is a sacred feast of God, which is to be celebrated on the day after the Sabbath, following the Feast of Unleavened Bread (Lev. 23:9-14). The Church of God, which faithfully obeys every teaching of the Bible, celebrates Resurrection Day on the date that was specified in the Bible. The Church of God breaks the bread that God promised would open our spiritual eyes, while the other churches eat boiled eggs—following the pagan customs—on a date which was never written in the Bible.

Let's correctly understand the Day of Resurrection as it was given in the Bible so that we can celebrate the feast holy.

All Blessings Come From Mother - Church of God - Ahnsahnghong

All Blessings Come From Mother

First and foremost, I give all glory, all honor, all praise, and all thanks to our Almighty Elohim God who allowed me to visit Korea for the second time. Our merciful Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother had pity on me, and gave me another opportunity to receive water of life directly from the source. Again I give You thanks! To visit Korea is an absolute privilege and tremendous blessing. I had been eagerly waiting to go back to Korea. Finally after 18 long months, Father and Mother allowed me to return to the holy land where Heavenly Mother dwells.


As soon as I saw my Korean brothers and sisters who were waiting for us at the airport, I felt Mother’s love. Mother’s love was radiating off all the brothers and sisters. Mother was earnestly waiting for all Her children to arrive at the Jerusalem Temple. As we took our buses to go see our precious Heavenly Mother, I longed for Mother’s embrace. I anticipated the wondrous blessings that were to come. I thought to myself that I had to make this second trip totally different from my first trip. On my first trip I did not fully fathom Mother’s love. I did not realize that Mother is the source of all blessings. So for this second trip, I had to make my every effort to receive all the blessings that come from Heavenly Mother. Mother blesses us with Her love, eternal life, realization, Holy Spirit, ability to preach, and algok yul-mae (good fruit)!


Finally we arrived at the Jerusalem Temple. Getting off the bus, I saw Heavenly Mother waiting for us with open arms. As we all waited patiently to see Heavenly Mother, we all began to weep so intensely. Mother hid her pain of 6,000 years of separation from Her heavenly children with a warm smile. Finally my turn had come to hug Mother. I wanted to immediately express my infinite love and upmost gratitude to my living God, but I could not get the words out. Mother knew I wanted to say something, so She looked at me and waited for me to speak. Finally I said something in Han-Kook (Korean), “Mother I love You sincerely,” “Thank You for allowing me to visit Korea,” and, “Please forgive my sins.” Mother held me to Her. Then Mother thanked me for coming to see Her. My heart broke in pain in the thought that God was thanking me, the most grievous sinner. Because of my transgressions, God left Her glorious throne in heaven to come down to this lowly earth and to spend a sacrificial life of persecutions and sufferings. I knew at that point that I had to change, so that I could never hurt my Most High God again.


Throughout our entire trip, Heavenly Mother never stopped giving us Her love and the water of life. During one dinner, Mother gave us the water of life for almost one hour. What a true blessing! I remember how much Mother stressed Father’s coming. Mother said Father was right around the corner. Mother desperately wanted us to wake up from our spiritual sleep and prepare ourselves to meet Father without any lack. She also explained to us how glorious heaven would be. As it is written in 1 Cor 2:9, “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived, what God has prepared for those who love him.” Mother really wants us to have hope for heaven. Mother said our citizenship is in heaven, so we have to detach ourselves from this world. Mother said if we want to enter Heaven, we have to change ourselves by getting rid of all our arrogance and sinful nature. We have to sacrifice ourselves for brothers and sisters and give in to them. We have to stop judging our brothers and sisters with hurtful words, but instead pray for them. Having hope for heaven, we have to be joyful always, giving thanks in all circumstances. We have to preach harder and find all of our lost heavenly family members.


I will never forget hearing Father’s voice delivering the water of life. In His sermon, Father gave so many praises to Apostle Paul. Apostle Paul considered his life worth nothing, always wanting to complete the tasks that God had given to him. He did everything to please God, not men. He diligently preached the gospel, even to the point of death. He endured all persecutions and sufferings, having the greatest hope for heaven. I truly understood Mother’s will in allowing brothers and sisters to hear Father’s sermon. Mother wants us to be like Apostle Paul in every way. We have to sacrifice our entire lives for Father and Mother. Then we can be true gospel workers like Apostle Paul.


Thanks to Father and Mother, I came to realize so much during my 14-day stay. I realized that we are truly but a drop in a bucket. This earth is a speck of dust compared to the awesome, greater stars and planets that are in our galaxies. We are nothing but a little dot in the universe. Father and Mother left Their heavenly glory and came to this pathetic world to save us. How great and boundless is Elohim’s Love! Among all the realizations I was able to acquire through Mother’s blessing, the most essential one for me was the fact that I had done nothing for the gospel. I was too comfortable with the blessings I had in Zion, that I never realized how much more I could have done for the gospel and how much more glory I could have given to Elohim. I asked myself, ‘How many good fruits did I bear?’ 30? 20? Not even 10. ‘How many house churches did I establish?’ Zero. ‘How obedient was I to Mother’s will?’ Very little. I felt so ashamed to have been called by God to do the gospel work in the San Francisco Zion. How could I stand before God with nothing to show for myself?


I sincerely give all thanks to Father and Mother for allowing me to realize my lack of ability for the gospel work. I now know that I need to do so much more for Father and Mother. Actually Father and Mother are making it so easy for us to receive more blessings. Really we have no excuses to do the gospel work and achieve great results. Father and Mother have given us the Staff of Moses in this age. We can preach by using the Church promo videos or by using our Elohim Academy preaching binders. We can even give out CDs of the New Songs Radio broadcasts. Really if we believe in Mother’s blessings and power, we can do great things and receive a greater reward in heaven.


Mother is the source of blessings in this age. I will truly work hard for the gospel, so that all nations can give praise to our Heavenly Mother as prophesied. I will sleep little as Father did. I will love my brothers and sisters and give in to them as Mother has taught us. Truly I will pay back all of Elohim’s extreme sacrifice and love. I want to go to heaven as soon as possible. I give eternal thanks to our true Shepherds in this age, the Spirit and the Bride, Christ Ahnsahnghong and the New Jerusalem Heavenly Mother. Abuhjee, Eomeoni, sarang-hapnida (Father and Mother, I love You)!

Ahnsahnghong - Let's proclaim God's salvation

Let's proclaim God's salvation

We always need God. Let us live in God's promise and put God in our hearts without forgetting Him. Every day, let's ponder over what God's will and commands are, what God is pleased with, and what God is anxious and worried about.

God expresses His heart by saying, "How distressed I am!" (Lk 12:50). He feels distressed because people do not realize Him even while reading the Bible, feels distressed because they do not interpret this present time even though they see many signs, and also feels distressed because they fail to share in His glory without knowing the prepared blessings and glory of heaven and without doing His will. Thus, there must be so many things that make God distressed.

Let us not keep the good news of salvation to ourselves, but let it be known to all people, so that we can go to heaven together. Recently, scientists have warned against disasters through many convincing proofs. They say that it is a sin against humanity if we know about the impending disaster but do not tell it to people. We must not be criminals by keeping the truth to ourselves, but tell it to all people in the world, as God said, "Give them warning from me." God who dwells in Zion saves us not only from various disasters rampant throughout the world but also from the eternal disaster-punishment in hell where the fire never goes out-and leads us to the kingdom of heaven. So, let's blow the trumpet clearly, telling people to return to Zion and escape disasters (Jer 4:5-6). I earnestly ask you all to have wisdom and insight to foresee the future through all signs small and great, which appear in the world, and to lead all your family, neighbors, friends and relatives to Zion and to the way of salvation.

Please preach the Passover, the good news of salvation, as much as you can. At the time of Moses, when this good news was preached, the Egyptians did not listen to it, while the Israelites listened. What was their fate?

Through the Passover, God distinguishes His people from those who are not. So, God tells us to always have His law, the new covenant, in our hearts. I repeatedly ask all you people of Zion to participate in the salvation of God who leads us to a new heaven and a new earth, and to quickly lead many people around the world, who are living without knowing the way of salvation, to the Church of God where there is the kingdom of heaven, salvation and the truth.

Ahnsahnghong- God gives eternal salvation

God gives eternal salvation

Some people say that there are cases where people are saved from disaster even though they do not believe in God correctly. However, that is not true salvation.

At the time of the 9.11 terrorist attacks in the USA, there was a person who barely survived, but some time later he was killed in another accident. He was lucky to escape one disaster, but soon encountered another disaster. So, we cannot say that it is true salvation.

The TV movie "The Day After" was once telecast in the US and evoked a great sensation from among people. The movie shows that the situation after a nuclear explosion is as serious as the moment of explosion. Even if people survive, there is no place to receive treatment for their injuries and no place to find food because the earth is completely devastated by the radioactive dust. The movie highlights the fact that the suffering of the nuclear survivors is more severe than that of the dead. Although they've barely escaped a temporary crisis, a more severe suffering is waiting for them, so it cannot be said that they are truly saved.

The salvation God has prepared for us is eternal salvation. God not only saves us from temporary crises and disasters on this earth, but even grants us the eternal glory in a new heaven and a new earth.

2 Pe 3:10-15 『But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare. Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming.That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness. So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him. Bear in mind that our Lord's patience means salvation, . . .』

As God has promised to save us from the deadly pestilence and all other disasters, we are now looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth. God has prepared a new world where there is no more death or mourning or crying or pain, and is leading us there.

Rev 21:1-7 『Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away. He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" . . .』

Apostle John also saw in his vision a new heaven and a new earth. In the new world, God says, "I will be their God, and they will be my people," and promises to let His people reign for ever and ever. This is the true salvation.

Rev 22:3-5 『No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him. They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.』

Elohim our Creators have granted us, people of Zion, a new heaven and a new earth, and have prepared a glorious future for us, where we will reign for ever and ever. Now the news about many disasters is frightening the world, but even amid the gloomy news, we should foresee a bright future in the kingdom of heaven, keeping in mind God's promise to let no disaster come near us-the people who live in the truth of the new covenant.

Ahnsahnghong - Salvation given to the people of Zion

Salvation given to the people of Zion

God helps the people of Zion and saves them. The Bible teaches that those who dwell in Zion are God's true people. God has promised to dwell in Zion and to become the God of the people of Zion.

Ps 51:16 『"I have put my words in your mouth and covered you with the shadow of my hand-I who set the heavens in place, who laid the foundations of the earth, and who say to Zion, ‘You are my people.' "』

Isa 33:20-24 『Look upon Zion, the city of our festivals; your eyes will see Jerusalem, a peaceful abode, a tent that will not be moved; its stakes will never be pulled up, nor any of its ropes broken. There the LORD will be our Mighty One. It will be like a place of broad rivers and streams. No galley with oars will ride them, no mighty ship will sail them. For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; it is he who will save us. . . . and the sins of those who dwell there will be forgiven.』

Zion is the place where God's appointed feasts are celebrated. It is only the Church of God that keeps the feasts of the new covenant on this earth. So, this place where we've come to now is the very Zion.

Since God is the King and Savior of Zion, we must entrust God with our salvation. Even though all kinds of disasters are now rampant throughout the world, God will save us because He is our King.

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. . . . This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time," declares the LORD. "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," declares the LORD. "For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more."』

God has become the God of the people who have His law, the new covenant, in their hearts and keep it. God, the Maker of heaven and earth, who saves His people from disasters even when a thousand or ten thousand fall at their side, is the God who dwells in Zion-the God of the people who keep the new covenant.

Only the people who engrave God's law in their hearts and keep it and who trust in God and revere Him will be saved from all disasters in these last days. God guards and protects the people of Zion until the end. It is God who protected the Israelites so that not one of them would lose a single hair from their heads when the plagues came upon all the land of Egypt. It is also God who declared His law in Zion and commanded His people not to forget the Passover of the new covenant but to keep it for the generations to come.

Now God shows human beings many signs through which He tells them to return to Zion without hesitation. We, who look at the lamp of prophecy, should always trust in God's deliverance and follow only the teachings of Elohim to the end, giving thanks, glory and praise to God all the time.

Ahnsahnghong - No disaster will come near those whose help is God

No disaster will come near those whose help is God

God is our Shepherd and our Savior. He is the only One we can trust.

Ps 91:1-11 『He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust." Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence. . . . A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked. If you make the Most High your dwelling-even the LORD, who is my refuge-then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent. For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.』

These are the words of comfort that God has given to those who live in His promise. The Bible tells us that God saves us, His children, even from the deadly pestilence (an infectious disease) and sends His angels to guide and protect us in all our ways, so no disaster will come near us although a thousand or ten thousand may fall at our side.

When disasters become more severe and things beyond human capacity happen unexpectedly, who can we trust? Please think carefully about who can help us escape disasters.

Ps 121:1-2 『I lift up my eyes to the hills-where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.』

Ps 127:1 『Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain.』

It is Elohim who created the heavens and the earth. Nothing or no one except God can save us, and no matter how hard humans try to carry out things, unless God is with them, all their efforts are in vain. When Elohim our Creators lead us and we obey Their will, everything can be accomplished flawlessly.

We must not forget our Heavenly Father and Mother who help us and carry out the work of salvation, nor should we betray Their love. Running toward the glory of heaven, let's powerfully preach the good news of salvation to all the wretched souls who are heading towards destruction.

Ps 146:1-5 『Praise the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul. . . . I will sing praise to my God as long as I live. Do not put your trust in princes, in mortal men, who cannot save. When their spirit departs, they return to the ground; on that very day their plans come to nothing. Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God.』

No matter how strong and powerful a man may be, the moment will surely come when he will be as nothing at all. The Bible prophesies that on God's appointed day the warriors will cry out bitterly, the king and the officials will lose heart and men will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world (Zep 1:14; Jer 4:9; Lk 21:26). So, blessed is the person who trusts only in God, not relying on men.

God is the only solution in this age of disaster. Since Elohim will save us from all difficulties and disasters, we, children of God, should put our hope in Elohim at Zion where They dwell and give glory and praise to Them.

Ahnsahnghong - God will Save Us!

God Will Save Us
Now we live in a prophetic age when God's care and protection are needed much more than ever before.

In regard to Influenza A/H1N1, the South Korean Government raised its flu alert status to the highest "red" level in early November, and is struggling to develop countermeasures against the flu. A few months ago, the WHO and many countries in the world already declared the H1N1 flu to be a global "pandemic," raising its alert level to 6, the highest phase. The US even declared a national emergency for the flu pandemic.

At a time when disasters are rampant, God's people need God's saving hand more than anything else. So, now let's take some time to review the teachings about God's salvation through the Bible.

Ahnsahnghong - Elohim Will Appear in Their Own Time - Church of God

Elohim Will Appear in Their Own Time
God promised that He would appear according to His own timing (1 Tim. 6:15). Let us confirm what form He will appear in.

Rev. 22:17 『The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let him who hears say, "Come!" Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life.』

For our salvation, God always referred to Himself as "us," and then Elohim God appeared—as the Holy Spirit and the Bride—to give us the water of life. In the first book of Timothy, it is written that God alone is immortal and lives in unapproachable light (1 Tim. 6:16). Thus, only the Spirit and the Bride—the Second Coming Christ, Ahnsahnghong, and the New Jerusalem Mother—are immortal and only They have life. Nevertheless, some people boast that they, also, have the power to give life. The people who make such assumptions are greatly mistaken. The Bible says that no one can have life until he or she eats the flesh of the Son of Man and drinks His blood (John 6:53), and Jesus said, "Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead" (Matt. 8:22). Mere human beings, such as ourselves, cannot say that we are alive.

There is no life in us, so we must go to God—Christ Ahnsahnghong and Mother—if we want to receive eternal life and salvation, because They are the only ones who have life. In order to give the everlasting water of life to mortal beings, God came down to this earth in this last age as the Holy Spirit, Ahnsahnghong, and the Bride, the New Jerusalem Mother. People who pervert or deny this Biblical teaching will never be able to enter the kingdom of heaven.

Ahnsahnghong - Elohim God Revealed in the Book of Jeremiah - Church of God

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 "Eloah," 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.

Ahnsahnghong - Elohim God Revealed in the Book of Isaiah - Church of God

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.

Ahnsahnghong - Church of God world mission society - Elohim God Revealed in the Book of Genesis

Elohim God Revealed in the Book of Genesis
Let us confirm that there is both a male and a female image of God, through 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…"

Church of God world mission society - Children of the Free Woman - Ahnsahnghong

Children of the Free Woman
Apostle Paul testified that we are the children of promise, the children of the free woman, because we have been given the promise of eternal life from our heavenly Mother.

Gal. 4:28 『Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise.』

Gal. 4:31 『Therefore, brothers, we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman.』

If we are the children of the free woman, what should we call Her? We should call Her our "Mother."
We cannot have eternal life unless we receive the heavenly Mother. Eternal life, which God has promised us, is given through the heavenly Mother.

In this last age, we need our Jerusalem Mother who has been established by Christ Ahnsahnghong—the Second Coming Jesus. Let us believe in Christ Ahnsahnghong, the Holy Spirit, and in Jerusalem Mother, the Bride, so that we can receive eternal life.

The world mission society church of God - The Wedding of the Lamb

The Wedding of the Lamb
Let's study some of the testimonies about Mother written in the book of Revelation.

Rev. 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.』

The book of Revelation was written after Jesus had ascended, and it prophesied about the things that were to happen in the last days. Thus, "the Lamb" mentioned in the above verse indicates the Second Coming Jesus: Ahnsahnghong. When Jesus came to the earth for the first time, two thousand years ago, His wife was not yet ready. The Bride, the wife of the Lamb, would appear in the last days.

In the book of Revelation, chapter 21, the Bride—the wife of the Lamb—is described as "Jerusalem."

Rev. 21:9-10 『...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...showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God.』

Apostle Paul testified that this Holy City, Jerusalem, which would come down out of heaven, is our Mother.

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

The world mission society church of God - I Will Raise Him Up at the Last Day

I Will Raise Him Up at the Last Day"
Two thousand years ago, Jesus said, repeatedly, that He would wait until the last day to raise up all of the people who came to Him (John 6:39, 40, 44. 54). Why did Jesus need to wait until the last day to save His people? What was He waiting for? The account of the six-day Creation—in the book of Genesis, chapter one—represents the spiritual Creation which would take place over six thousand years. Just as the six-day Creation ended after Eve had appeared, so would the six-thousand year spiritual Creation end with the appearance of our spiritual Mother. Jesus could have given His people life during His first coming; however, Jesus waited for the appearance of the heavenly Mother because life would be given through Her.

The World mission society church of God - The Will of God in Creating Eve, Adam’s Wife

The Will of God in Creating Eve, Adam’s Wife
Let us study more truth regarding the heavenly Mother through the character Adam, written in the book of Romans.

Rom. 5:14 『...Adam, who was a pattern of the one to come.』

Since the book of Romans was written after Jesus had already ascended, the "one to come" mentioned in the above verse indicates the Second Coming Jesus. Adam was created to lead us to the Second Coming Jesus. Then, what was God's will in creating Eve, Adam's wife?

Gen. 2:21 『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 closed up the place with flesh.』

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

The name "Eve" means "life." Eve was called "the mother of all the living." God's intent in creating Adam was to reveal the Second Coming Jesus, our heavenly Father, and Eve was created to reveal the Second Coming Jesus' wife, our heavenly Mother. In other words, just as Eve was called "the mother of all the living," we can only be given eternal life through our heavenly Mother. Eve represents our heavenly Mother.

World mission society Church of God- God’s Two Images

God’s Two Images
Let us study through the Bible to discover the existence of our spiritual Mother.

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.』

The above verse states that God has two images—a male image and a female image. Until now, we have only known and called upon the male image of God: "Father." Then how should we call upon the female image of God? Logically, we should refer to God's female image as "Mother." This is why God had said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness."

The word "us" is a plural term. "Elohim," the Hebrew word used in place of "God" in Genesis 1:26, directly translates to "Gods," the plural form of the word "God." Therefore, the references to "us" in the book of Genesis refer to God the Father and God the Mother. Some say that the word "us" in this verse indicates God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. If this argument is correct, there should be three types of people in the world—those who were made in the image of God the Father, those who resemble the image of God the Son, and those created in the image of the Holy Spirit. However, on this earth there are only two types of people: men and women. However, the "Gods" mentioned in Genesis 1:26 are the male image of God and the female image of God—God the Father and God the Mother.

The Children of Promise - World mission society Church of God - Christ Ahnsahnghong

The Children of Promise
The Bible calls us "the children of promise."

Gal. 4:28 『Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise.』

Then, what promise did God make to those who are called the children of promise? God promised them eternal life.

1 John 2:25 『And this is what he promised us—even eternal life.』

How is eternal life given to us? The Bible says that all things were created by God's will (Rev. 4:11). Among all of the many creatures that God has created, let us focus on the mothers. Since it is written that God created all things by His will, a certain will of God was expressed when He created mothers on this earth. As you know, all creatures have a mother figure. There is not a single creature that can come into existence without a mother.

Our physical life is given to us through our physical mother. For 280 days, a baby's hands, feet, eyes and ears form within his mother's womb. When the time comes, the mother will give birth to her child, shedding blood. We are given life through our mother's great pain. How about our spiritual life? Just as our physical life was given to us through our physical mother, our spiritual life is given to us through our spiritual Mother.

The Bible clearly testifies that our heavenly Mother exists, and that only our heavenly Mother can give us eternal life.

Jerusalem Mother
The Church of God only follows the teachings of the Bible and believes in the Second Coming Christ Ahnsahnghong and Jerusalem Mother.

In the Bible, God is referred to through plural terms instead of singular terms, and it is written that God has a male image and a female image. Therefore, God exists in the male image and in the female image.

Have you ever thought about why we call God our Father?

It is written that God's invisible qualities have been clearly seen and can be understood through what has been made (Rom. 1:20). Is there any creature that is given life through only their father, alone, without a mother being present?

We need to study this matter carefully.

World mission society Church of God - God Promised to Give Us Eternal Life through the Passover

God Promised to Give Us Eternal Life through the Passover
All men desire to have eternal life, but men cannot give it. Just as God saved the Israelites during the Exodus, only God is able to give us salvation and eternal life.

1 John 5: 20 『We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true?even in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.』

Then, how will God grant us eternal life? God gives us salvation through the blood of Christ (1 Cor. 5:7), represented, during the time of the Exodus, by the blood of the Passover lamb.

John 6:53-55 『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. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink."』

Jesus promised that the bread of the Passover was His flesh, and that the wine of the Passover was His blood.

Matt. 26:17-28 『...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."』

The reason why we want to receive the flesh and blood of Jesus?given to us through the Passover?is because Jesus, who is life, promised that when we eat His flesh and drink His blood, we will live forever.

Since Jesus said, "unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you" (John 6:53), how can we receive eternal life unless we celebrate the Passover?

Jesus called the Passover the new covenant.

Luke 22:7-20 『Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed...When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table. And he said to them, "I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer."...And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me." In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you."』

Jesus promised to give us eternal life through the Passover of the new covenant.

World mission society Church of God - The Apostle Peter's Thoughts About the "Spirit"

The Apostle Peter's Thoughts About the "Spirit"
The Apostle Peter always remembered what Jesus had told him before His ascension.

John 21:18-19 『"I tell you the truth, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go."Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God.』

When Peter's life of the gospel was about to come to an end, he worried about the saints, remembering what Jesus had told him.

2 Pet. 1:13-14 『I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of this body, because I know that I will soon put it aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me. And I will make every effort to see that after my departure you will always be able to remember these things.』

Peter described his death as "putting aside" the tent of the body, and as his "departure." It is clear that it is Peter's spirit that would leave his body. While his spirit was in a fleshly body, the body itself became his spirit's house; after his spirit's departure, the body would return to the ground.

We study the apostles' thoughts to know the teachings that they learned from Jesus. Through the apostles' explanations of the spirit, we can clearly understand that Jesus Christ had taught and revealed that the spirit exists within men.


My True Life
We often wonder, "Who am I?" Some say, "Man eats to live," while others argue that, "Man lives to eat." Neither of these opinions is correct.

Our main essence is not our physical body, but the spirit inside our body. Our spirit lives in the tent we call our "body." When we go camping, we only stay in a tent for a few days, don't we? The time we spend in the tent is temporary. Likewise, our life within the body?our tent?is only a temporary life.

If we live for our physical body, it means that we are living for our house. Life is to live for ourselves, not for the houses we dwell in.

In our life of faith, we sometimes focus on our physical life more than our spiritual life. Of course, as long as we are in the body, we can't deny the physical life; however, if we live only for a temporary tent which will soon disappear, how pitiful will our life be?

We live in these tents because of our sin, but after we receive the forgiveness of our sins, redemption?under the grace of Christ, the Passover Lamb?our eternal houses wait for us. Let's reconsider what we should focus on while we live on this earth.

2 Cor. 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.』

World mission society - The Apostle Paul's Thoughts About the "Spirit" - Ahnsahnghong

The Apostle Paul's Thoughts About the "Spirit"
We try to understand the apostles' minds because their thoughts were established by Jesus' teachings. The apostles understood that our flesh is merely the house of our spirit.

2 Cor. 5:1 『Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed [if our flesh dies], we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.』

Our spirit lives in a temporary earthly tent?our flesh?now, but it will live in an eternal house that God has built for us.

2 Cor. 5:6 『Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord....We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord. So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it.』

In this letter, the Apostle Paul says that the Lord [Jesus] dwells in the world of spirit and that we dwell in the world of flesh. Thus we are away from the Lord as long as we are in the body. The Apostle Paul also reveals that he, and the rest of the saints, would prefer to be away from their bodies and at home with the Lord.

In the above verses, what is the entity that dwells in the body and then leaves the body? Paul's spirit, the very essence of Paul, is the one who wants to leave the body. The body he wore was not the essence of his life, but instead, Paul's spirit?dwelling within his body?was his true self. To say it again, the Apostle Paul lived not for the temporary life in his earthly tent [his flesh], but he longed for the life that he would live in the eternal house. God would give him this everlasting home only after his spirit left its earthly tent.

The Apostle Paul wrote similarly in a letter to the saints in Philippi.

Phil. 1:21-24 『For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain....I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.』

Paul's words, "We...would prefer to be away from the body," in the book of 2 Corinthians 5:6 and the words, "I desire to depart," in the book of Philippians chapter one, have the same meanings. "To be away," or "to depart," means to leave the body. What is the entity that dwells in the body or leaves it? It is Paul's spirit, the true essence of Paul.

Paul revealed that it was more necessary for the saints that he remained in his body. If Paul were to leave his body [if he were to die], he would go to Christ; thus it was good for him to leave the body. If he remained in the body, however, it was good for the saints because then he could teach them the truth of God and guide them down the right path.

Paul also uttered a revelation that God had shown him in another letter to the Church in Corinth.

2 Cor. 12:1 『I must go on boasting. Although there is nothing to be gained, I will go on to visions and revelations from the Lord. I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know?God knows. And I know that this man?whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, but God knows.』

When Paul saw this revelation, he said twice, "...whether I [my spirit] was in the body or out of the body I do not know?God knows."

According to this verse, did the Apostle Paul think that the spirit existed as a separate entity from the body, or did he believe that the spirit did not exist?

If the Apostle Paul believed that the spirit did not exist, could he have said, "Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know?God knows"...? When Paul saw this revelation?describing himself as "a man" he knew (speaking in the third person)?he didn't know whether his spirit had traveled out of the body, or if he had gone to such a paradise in his flesh.

Jesus Taught Us About the "Spirit" - Ahnshanghong, World mission society Church of God

Jesus Taught Us About the "Spirit"
The concept of "spirit" became clearer in the New Testament.

Matt. 10:28 『"Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell."』

In this verse, Jesus describes the same creation process as in Genesis chapter two, revealing the separation between the death of the body [the dust] and the death of the spirit.

The Greek word for soul in this verse is "pneuma," which means "spirit."

John 4:24 『"God is spirit [pneuma]." 』

2 Cor. 33:17 『Now the Lord [Jesus] is the Spirit [pneuma].』

Heb. 1:14 『Are not all angels ministering spirits [pneuma]...?』

God is spirit and doesn't belong in the flesh. Jesus is spirit and doesn't belong in the flesh. Angels are also spirits who do not belong in the flesh. Thus, a man's death can be separated into two events: the death of the flesh and the death of the spirit. The devil, or another man, can kill our body, but it is only God who can destroy our spirit.

The Apostle Paul, in a letter to the Church in Corinth, wrote as follows:

1 Cor. 2:11 『For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit [pneuma] within him? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit [pneuma] of God.』

Jesus taught us that the true essence of our life is not our flesh, but our spirit.

Do you want to know about Soul? - Ahnsahnghong

The Spirit
"What happens to a man when he dies?"..."Does a man really have a spirit?"... "Where does a man go when he dies?" Questions such as these have been a matter of great interest throughout history, but no one has been able to answer them. Men eager to find such answers wrote great philosophies, but mere philosophers could never realize how they had been created.

Christ Ahnsahnghong came to the earth, established the Church of God, and taught us that all men are angels who have come to the earth after sinning in heaven. He let us know how valuable we are and revealed to us the true purpose of our lives

The Spirit Revealed Through the Creation of Human Beings
Gen. 2:7 『...The LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.』

The dust is not the essence of life; God didn't name the dust itself a "living being." Only after God had breathed the breath of life into the dust, did He call it a "living being." Therefore, the essence of life is not the flesh, but the breath of life, the spirit that God breathed into the dust. Man's flesh is made from the dust, but his spirit is made by God, and is from God.

Solomon wrote, "The dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it" (Eccl. 12:7).

Because Elohim Are With Us - Ahnsahnghong

Because Elohim Are With Us
NATION | USANAME | Tiffany FordI'd like to begin my fragrance of Zion with deep thanks, praise, honor and glory to my Heavenly Father and Mother. I learned through this trip to Korea that all things are possible through Elohim God, and Their unfailing, unconditional perfect love. Father and Mother love us so much and are always taking care of us. I learned about Father and Mother's love back in May, 2008.

As soon as I learned about Father's second coming, I wanted to meet Him. Then I heard that he already went back up to heaven, for which I was pretty sad. Soon after learning about Father, I learned about Mother and heard that She is still with us! My mind and heart were already made up. I was going to see my Mother.

Months had went by and so did the summer trip to Korea. Even though I wasn't able to go to that trip, I still prayed earnestly that I could go in October. As the months went by and the October trip grew closer, it looked impossible for me to go because financially things were tough, but I had faith that if it is Father and Mother's will, I will be able to go. Somehow, after finding out through my bank and old car insurance company that I had canceled with five months ago was still taking money out of my account, I was able to get reimbursed in full from that company that was almost the exact amount of the plane ticket. I was going to Korea!

Leaving San Diego was actually bittersweet for me. Let's just say I wasn't necessarily excited about leaving my 9 month old son Cameron behind for the first time, but Father and Mother took care of him. A wonderful brother and sister from Zion looked after him. Thanks to them and, of course, Father and Mother, this was possible. Leaving Cameron made me realize how Mother must have felt when we had to leave Her and Father in heaven because of our sins, and how She must feel every time brothers and sisters leave after visiting Her in Korea.

The plane ride to Korea seemed like forever. To pass the time, all of us, brothers and sisters, preached to those who were around us. We were on fire! It was amazing! We were so excited to see Mother that if we personally had wings we'd fly to Her ourselves!

Arriving at the airport in Korea, we were greeted by many of our loving Korean brothers and sisters. They lavished us, brothers and sisters from all over the world, with hugs and gifts and with Mother's love. The joy that I felt made my eyes well up with tears. It felt like.. home!

Getting off the bus, I was suddenly greeted by our heavenly Mother. It was a shock! I wasn't expecting Her right when I came off the bus. I thought to myself, "This can't be real; this must be a dream!" Absolutely not a dream! I finally realized once Mother embraced me in Her arms for the first time in many, many years. Mother's life and Her teachings were present throughout the whole trip. Everyone could feel the amazing power of the love of Mother!

The Korean brothers and sisters set such a wonderful example for all of us. Even though at times we may have stumbled in our ways, yet with a smile and loving gestures they overlooked our faults!

I couldn't help but to also put Mother's teachings into practice by serving my brothers and sisters. I thought, 'If I take care of brothers and sister's plates at our Zion, then why not put the teachings in the presence of God Almighty?' Even God our Mother served us. At lunch Mother served us. She served us soup. Each individual was personally served by our God. Constantly She always humbles Herself in so many ways all the time. When She would speak, the whole world stood still.

I smiled so much, filled with joy, that my face started to get sore! Even with so much joy inside, there was a virus that tried to get the best of a couple of sisters and I, but of course, Mother's love and care always prevails. By the next day, after Mother's prayer for us, the sisters and I felt better. That morning, the appetite I had lost due to the virus came right back. The battle with the virus ended, yet the battle with my diabetes continued. I was going through insulin like water because of the time difference and the way my insulin's work. I never thought I'd run out. The last thing I wanted to do was create a whole bunch of worry. To make the long story short, I let a Missionary know. The next thing I knew I was going to see a doctor and within only 25min I had the insulin, which my life depends on; it was in my hands! Yes, the situation without that medicine could have been very scary. I could not believe how easy it was to get my insulin. I'm a foreigner, a military wife, miles and miles from San Diego, yet only God could have made this impossible situation possible. Even in San Diego, it takes two hours or more to get my prescription filled. Thanks to Father and Mother, I was able to have the insulin I depend so much on. Of course, my blood sugar level got better. I felt better. Without Father and Mother's love and sacrifice, we would not be here today. Through trials and tribulations, when we endure, we learn and become stronger, stronger in faith. We appreciate so much more. Arrogance disappears, and love, faith, compassion dwells within our hearts. Father and Mother give us wings to soar like eagles. We can do anything with our Elohim Gods guiding us!

Without worry about my diabetes, I could enjoy the rest of the short time left with Mother. She took a group of us, brothers and sisters, to show us the life Father lived. Compared to the way Father lived, we live in luxury. The simple things like electricity, pens and pencils, microwaves for a quick meal were nowhere to be found in the life Father and Mother lived. Mother sat with us and read us scriptures from the Bible in a small, small dark room lit only by a lamp with oil. Each one of us got a scripture read to us. Mother read, "Endure present sufferings!" It was a moment I'll carry in my memories always. The most rewarding moment with Mother was when we were all given the privilege to preach to Mother. Something amazing happened to me. With my own lack of confidence, I thought I wouldn't be able to preach in front of sisters, let alone preach in front of Heavenly Mother, who is God Almighty. We were the next in line to preach in front of Mother. Amongst our group it was decided that I would preach first since I had everything ready because I was practicing. To be honest, the whole visit I was so nervous to preach in front of Mother; but see that's just it! I myself wasn't preaching. I had said a little prayer before I began. In the presence of God, I began to preach "Heavenly Family and Earthly Family." All the anxiety and insecurity slipped away, and an ocean of warmth, assurance, confidence and an urgency to share this precious news washed over me. It was life; I had stepped aside myself and someone who was bold, strong and knowledgeable was preaching. It was amazing! It felt like I could do the impossible! Mother's smile, so comforting, so attentive, even though She probably heard this sermon thousands upon thousands of times! The expression on Mother's face you'd never know! I was so happy after preaching. The smile on Mother's face and Her love made my heart swell with utter happiness. I knew from then on I would never be satisfied with myself, or anything for that matter if I didn't preach. From then on I was so anxious to get back to San Diego to preach-to bring lost brothers and sisters into Mother's arms.

We went to the tower that overlooks all of Seoul, Korea. Amazing how within 60 years Seoul developed from a poor city into a rich one with towering buildings upon buildings, thriving with economical growth. How far Farther and Mother walked and climbed to save Their children-to get to where we are today! Thank You, Father and Mother! Only God can do something like that! They truly love us. I had learned so much through this trip. I never knew how I could love and care for some many people, whom I had only known for less than 10 days. When we parted to go back home or our temporary home, it tore my heart in two. Not only that but to leave Mother! I didn't want to leave anyone, but I knew my mission, what I had to do, my purpose! I knew I would see my overseas brothers and sisters again. Back home in heaven, together again all of us!

Thank You, Father and Mother, for opening my spiritual eyes to know and understand Your love and sacrifice, and for allowing me to overcome obstacles in this life, so I can learn and endure. I'm so honored to walk in the path that You have set out for me!

Because Elohim Are With Us- Ahnsahnghong

Because Elohim Are With Us
I'd like to begin my fragrance of Zion with deep thanks, praise, honor and glory to my Heavenly Father and Mother. I learned through this trip to Korea that all things are possible through Elohim God, and Their unfailing, unconditional perfect love. Father and Mother love us so much and are always taking care of us. I learned about Father and Mother's love back in May, 2008.

As soon as I learned about Father's second coming, I wanted to meet Him. Then I heard that he already went back up to heaven, for which I was pretty sad. Soon after learning about Father, I learned about Mother and heard that She is still with us! My mind and heart were already made up. I was going to see my Mother.

Months had went by and so did the summer trip to Korea. Even though I wasn't able to go to that trip, I still prayed earnestly that I could go in October. As the months went by and the October trip grew closer, it looked impossible for me to go because financially things were tough, but I had faith that if it is Father and Mother's will, I will be able to go. Somehow, after finding out through my bank and old car insurance company that I had canceled with five months ago was still taking money out of my account, I was able to get reimbursed in full from that company that was almost the exact amount of the plane ticket. I was going to Korea!

Leaving San Diego was actually bittersweet for me. Let's just say I wasn't necessarily excited about leaving my 9 month old son Cameron behind for the first time, but Father and Mother took care of him. A wonderful brother and sister from Zion looked after him. Thanks to them and, of course, Father and Mother, this was possible. Leaving Cameron made me realize how Mother must have felt when we had to leave Her and Father in heaven because of our sins, and how She must feel every time brothers and sisters leave after visiting Her in Korea.

The plane ride to Korea seemed like forever. To pass the time, all of us, brothers and sisters, preached to those who were around us. We were on fire! It was amazing! We were so excited to see Mother that if we personally had wings we'd fly to Her ourselves!

Arriving at the airport in Korea, we were greeted by many of our loving Korean brothers and sisters. They lavished us, brothers and sisters from all over the world, with hugs and gifts and with Mother's love. The joy that I felt made my eyes well up with tears. It felt like.. home!

Getting off the bus, I was suddenly greeted by our heavenly Mother. It was a shock! I wasn't expecting Her right when I came off the bus. I thought to myself, "This can't be real; this must be a dream!" Absolutely not a dream! I finally realized once Mother embraced me in Her arms for the first time in many, many years. Mother's life and Her teachings were present throughout the whole trip. Everyone could feel the amazing power of the love of Mother!

The Korean brothers and sisters set such a wonderful example for all of us. Even though at times we may have stumbled in our ways, yet with a smile and loving gestures they overlooked our faults!

I couldn't help but to also put Mother's teachings into practice by serving my brothers and sisters. I thought, 'If I take care of brothers and sister's plates at our Zion, then why not put the teachings in the presence of God Almighty?' Even God our Mother served us. At lunch Mother served us. She served us soup. Each individual was personally served by our God. Constantly She always humbles Herself in so many ways all the time. When She would speak, the whole world stood still.

I smiled so much, filled with joy, that my face started to get sore! Even with so much joy inside, there was a virus that tried to get the best of a couple of sisters and I, but of course, Mother's love and care always prevails. By the next day, after Mother's prayer for us, the sisters and I felt better. That morning, the appetite I had lost due to the virus came right back. The battle with the virus ended, yet the battle with my diabetes continued. I was going through insulin like water because of the time difference and the way my insulin's work. I never thought I'd run out. The last thing I wanted to do was create a whole bunch of worry. To make the long story short, I let a Missionary know. The next thing I knew I was going to see a doctor and within only 25min I had the insulin, which my life depends on; it was in my hands! Yes, the situation without that medicine could have been very scary. I could not believe how easy it was to get my insulin. I'm a foreigner, a military wife, miles and miles from San Diego, yet only God could have made this impossible situation possible. Even in San Diego, it takes two hours or more to get my prescription filled. Thanks to Father and Mother, I was able to have the insulin I depend so much on. Of course, my blood sugar level got better. I felt better. Without Father and Mother's love and sacrifice, we would not be here today. Through trials and tribulations, when we endure, we learn and become stronger, stronger in faith. We appreciate so much more. Arrogance disappears, and love, faith, compassion dwells within our hearts. Father and Mother give us wings to soar like eagles. We can do anything with our Elohim Gods guiding us!

Without worry about my diabetes, I could enjoy the rest of the short time left with Mother. She took a group of us, brothers and sisters, to show us the life Father lived. Compared to the way Father lived, we live in luxury. The simple things like electricity, pens and pencils, microwaves for a quick meal were nowhere to be found in the life Father and Mother lived. Mother sat with us and read us scriptures from the Bible in a small, small dark room lit only by a lamp with oil. Each one of us got a scripture read to us. Mother read, "Endure present sufferings!" It was a moment I'll carry in my memories always. The most rewarding moment with Mother was when we were all given the privilege to preach to Mother. Something amazing happened to me. With my own lack of confidence, I thought I wouldn't be able to preach in front of sisters, let alone preach in front of Heavenly Mother, who is God Almighty. We were the next in line to preach in front of Mother. Amongst our group it was decided that I would preach first since I had everything ready because I was practicing. To be honest, the whole visit I was so nervous to preach in front of Mother; but see that's just it! I myself wasn't preaching. I had said a little prayer before I began. In the presence of God, I began to preach "Heavenly Family and Earthly Family." All the anxiety and insecurity slipped away, and an ocean of warmth, assurance, confidence and an urgency to share this precious news washed over me. It was life; I had stepped aside myself and someone who was bold, strong and knowledgeable was preaching. It was amazing! It felt like I could do the impossible! Mother's smile, so comforting, so attentive, even though She probably heard this sermon thousands upon thousands of times! The expression on Mother's face you'd never know! I was so happy after preaching. The smile on Mother's face and Her love made my heart swell with utter happiness. I knew from then on I would never be satisfied with myself, or anything for that matter if I didn't preach. From then on I was so anxious to get back to San Diego to preach-to bring lost brothers and sisters into Mother's arms.

Do you want to keep the Passover? - Ahnsahnghong

Now, the time has come to study and to follow the way of salvation, according to God's guidance, displayed in the prophecies of the Bible, instead of seeking man's ways. In order to give salvation to those who believe in the prophecies, God has allowed the history of ancient times as a shadow, revealing what will happen in the end of the age.

Ex. 12:12-14 『"On that same night I will pass through Egypt and strike down every firstborn-both men and animals-and I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt. I am the LORD. The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt. This is a day you are to commemorate; for the generations to come you shall celebrate it as a festival to the LORD-a lasting ordinance."』

In Hebrews 11:28, it is written, "By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, so that the destroyer of the firstborn would not touch the firstborn of Israel." This means that no destructive plague was brought upon the houses where the blood of the Passover lamb had been sprinkled, because it became a sign.

God's last plagues will be brought upon this sinful world. At that moment, who on earth can escape? Can't the people who have the blood of Jesus, who have celebrated the Passover, escape? The power of the Passover will be revealed when the last plagues are brought upon the earth. Those who have not celebrated the Passover will regret it, and they will face God's wrath and punishment.


Christ Ahnsahngong, who restored the Passover of the New Covenant
The Passover was abolished at the Council of Nicaea in A.D. 325. At that time, the Passover completely disappeared from the world. Who on earth can have eternal life as the truth of life was abolished? Therefore, Jesus said that He would come a second time to restore the Passover.

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

Ahnsahnghong restored the Passover of the new covenant that had been abolished by Satan. Then, who do you think Ahnsahnghong is?

Isa. 25:6-9 『On this mountain the LORD Almighty will prepare a feast of rich food for all peoples, a banquet of aged wine-the best of meats and the finest of wines. On this mountain he will destroy the shroud that enfolds all peoples, the sheet that covers all nations; he will swallow up death forever. The Sovereign LORD will wipe away the tears from all faces; he will remove the disgrace of his people from all the earth. The LORD has spoken. In that day they will say, "Surely this is our God; we trusted in him, and he saved us. This is the LORD, we trusted in him; let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation."』

Ahnsahnghong, who restored the Passover of the new covenant, is the Second Coming Christ-God-who appeared in accordance with all of the prophecies of the Bible. The saints of the Early Church had cherished and celebrated the Passover of the new covenant! Christ Ahnsahnghong came in the flesh and restored the Passover so that we may be saved from the impending plagues. The Passover of the new covenant is the very gospel of Christ.

What is the Passover? - Ahnsahnghong

God promised to give us eternal life through the Passover
All men desire to have eternal life, but men cannot give it. Just as God saved the Israelites during the Exodus, only God is able to give us salvation and eternal life.

1 John 5: 20 『We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true-even in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.』

Then, how will God grant us eternal life? God gives us salvation through the blood of Christ (1 Cor. 5:7), represented, during the time of the Exodus, by the blood of the Passover lamb.

John 6:53-55 『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. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink."』

Jesus promised that the bread of the Passover was His flesh, and that the wine of the Passover was His blood.

Matt. 26:17-28 『...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."』

The reason why we want to receive the flesh and blood of Jesus-given to us through the Passover-is because Jesus, who is life, promised that when we eat His flesh and drink His blood, we will live forever.

Since Jesus said, "unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you" (John 6:53), how can we receive eternal life unless we celebrate the Passover?

Jesus called the Passover the new covenant.

Luke 22:7-20 『Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed...When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table. And he said to them, "I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer."...And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me." In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you."』

Jesus promised to give us eternal life through the Passover of the new covenant.


Being freed from sin through the Passover
In order to go back to the kingdom of heaven, lost because of our sins, we must first be forgiven for our sins. The Passover is the truth of God, through which we can have the forgiveness of our sins and can enter the kingdom of heaven.

Luke 4: 17-21 『The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him..."He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind..."... and he began by saying to them, "Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing."』
Some may ask who men are captive to. Jesus freed His people from their sins and from the devil's power through His precious blood, the blood of the Passover Lamb.

Rom 6:22 『But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life.』

The history of the Israelites-who entered the desert after being emancipated from Egypt, through the blood of the Passover lamb-reveals that in the New Testament times, the people who eat the flesh of Jesus, the Passover lamb, and drink His blood will enter the spiritual desert, after being freed from their sins (1 Cor. 10:1-12).


The last plagues and the Passover
It is only through the Passover that we can be saved from God's last plagues.

Matt. 24:37-39 『"As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man."』

1 Thess. 5:1-3 『Now, brothers, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying, "Peace and safety," destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.』

The most urgent thing now is for us to listen to the news of salvation. Let's study the verses in the Bible that show us how we can escape the last disaster. The earth will surely meet its doomsday, either by a world war or by God's mighty power. There are many prophecies in the Bible concerning the end of the age. Whoever absolutely believes and follows the prophecies will be saved.

If anyone does not believe the message of salvation, he cannot obtain eternal life, even though he may try to seek salvation by his own means (such as making an underground shelter, going to another planet by rocket, fleeing to a peaceful country, or hiding himself within an atomic submarine under a North Pole iceberg). These are merely temporary methods to hide from danger. In regard to this, some prophets prophesied as follows:

Zeph. 1:18 『Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to save them on the day of the LORD's wrath.』

Amos 9:2-4 『"Though they dig down to the depths of the grave, from there my hand will take them. Though they climb up to the heavens, from there I will bring them down. Though they hide themselves on the top of Carmel, there I will hunt them down and seize them. Though they hide from me at the bottom of the sea, there I will command the serpent to bite them. Though they are driven into exile by their enemies, there I will command the sword to slay them. I will fix my eyes upon them for evil and not for good."』

When is Passover? - Ahnsahnghong

When Christians are asked, "Have you received salvation?" they reply, "Yes," but if they are asked, "Do you celebrate the Passover?" most of them will hesitate in answering. Actually, no one can be said to be "saved" without knowing about the Passover.

The Church of God is the only church in the world that celebrates the Passover of the new covenant on the fourteenth day of the first month-by sacred year-as was written in the Bible (Lev. 23:4). The Church of God can celebrate the Passover because the Second Coming Christ, Ahnsahnghong, has restored the Passover that Jesus established two thousand years ago.

The Passover is one of the most important feasts that God has granted because God promised to give us the forgiveness of our sins and eternal life through the Passover.

Also, by celebrating the Passover, we can escape from all disasters. Even in the Old Testament times, there was a marked difference between the people who celebrated the Passover and the people who did not. Those who did not celebrate the Passover were always destroyed.

In other words, if we do not celebrate the Passover, we cannot have the forgiveness of our sins or eternal life, nor can we be saved from the last disasters. The Church of God, that believes in the prophecies of the Bible, celebrates the Passover-the truth of the Early Church, following the teachings of Christ Ahnsahnghong.


The origin of the Passover
God chose Moses and used him to bring about the emancipation of the Israelites, who had groaned under their Egyptian slavery for 430 years.

When Moses was eighty years old, God commanded him to ask Pharaoh to let the Israelites go; however, Pharaoh refused and he became even more rebellious against God, afflicting the Israelites more severely. God was enraged and brought plagues upon the whole land of Egypt: the plagues of blood, of frogs, of flies...of darkness. The heart of Pharaoh became more hardened and he stubbornly refused to let the Israelites go. God allowed Pharaoh's heart to become hardened so that He could judge Egypt.

Through the tenth plague, God decided to kill every firstborn of Egypt-both men and animals-and appointed the fourteenth day of the first month, by sacred year. God didn't want the firstborn of the Israelites to die along with the firstborn of the Egyptians, so He ordered the Israelites to put the blood of a year-old lamb on their doorframes and housetops.

Ex. 12:1-14 『..."The animals you choose must be year-old males without defect ...Take care of them until the fourteenth day of the month, when all the people of the community of Israel must slaughter them at twilight...This is how you are to eat it: with your cloak tucked into your belt, your sandals on your feet and your staff in your hand. Eat it in haste; it is the LORD's Passover...The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt. This is a day you are to commemorate; for the generations to come you shall celebrate it as a festival to the LORD-a lasting ordinance."』

The blood of the lamb became the sign of God's people, and the destroying angels passed over the Israelites' houses, where the blood had been painted. This day was called the Passover, meaning that the disaster would "pass over."

On that day, the Israelites put the lamb's blood on their doorframes, ate its roasted meat, and prepared to go on a journey. That night, as the Israelites waited, loud wailing could be heard. All of the firstborn of Egypt-including the firstborn of Pharaoh-were killed.
During the night, Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and told them to leave Egypt. The Egyptians, who had suffered all kinds of plagues, wanted the Israelites to leave quickly and gave them articles of silver and gold, even clothing.

The Passover was the day when God freed the Israelites from the slavery of Egypt. This was a shadow of the things to come. In the New Testament times, the Passover is the only feast through which God's people can receive the forgiveness of their sins and can be saved from all disasters.

Beware of Cult - Church of God , Ahnsahnghong

There are so many warnings in the Bible about not changing the Word of God, such as in Revelation 22: 18- 19 which says, “I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book. And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city which are described in this book.”But there was a prophecy of someone trying to change the laws of God written in Daniel 7:25 which states that, “He will speak against the Most High and oppress his saints and try to change the set times and laws.” Then only who would dare speak against the Most High God? Nobody! Except for Satan! Saturday Sabbath Day worship was changed to Sunday in 321AD by Roman Emperor Constantine because he really worshiped the Sun god. Does that make it right? Absolutely not!

We belive in God the Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother, our Savior!

The Heavenly Family and the Earthly Family - Ahnsahnghong

The Heavenly Family and the Earthly Family
Heb. 8:5 『They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven.』

All of the earthly systems are a copy and a shadow of what is in heaven. The family system is the same. Christ Ahnsahnghong revealed to us the existence of the heavenly Mother by teaching us about the heavenly family system through the earthly family system.

Everything within the spiritual world is reflected on this earth. In other words, everything on the earth is a shadow, and the things in heaven are the realities of what is on earth.

God established the earthly family system to show us that there is also a family system in heaven. The reason why God made every family on the earth has a father, a mother, and children was to reveal that in heaven, as well, there is a Father, a Mother, and children. God's providence is to let us know that there exists a God the Mother in heaven, as well as a God the Father.

Do you want to be a part of the heavenly family? Let us find out how we can be members of the heavenly family.

House
What are you reminded of when you hear the word "family"? Don't you think of a "house"? Jesus also mentioned a "house" many times in the Bible.

John 14:1-3 『"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place [house] for you. And if I go and prepare a place [house] for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.』

Jesus said that the Father's house surely exists. As of now, the house has been prepared. Then, who will be the members of this house? The family system described in the Bible is paternalistic. As you can see through your physical family, the first, main member of the house is the father. Therefore, if there is a father in the families on the earth, there must also be a Father in heaven.

God’s People Keep God’s Feasts - Ahnsahnghong

God’s People Keep God’s Feasts
As stated above, the Feast of Firstfruits and the Feast of Tabernacles were a shadow, revealing how Jesus would resurrect and how the 144,000—the materials of the heavenly temple—would be gathered in the New Testament times. Thus, it is very difficult for Christians to understand why people celebrate the American-made Thanksgiving Day, claiming that it is related to the Feast of Firstfruits or to the Feast of Tabernacles.

In the New Testament times, the Feast of Firstfruits was fulfilled on Resurrection Day. On Resurrection Day we commemorate Jesus' resurrection and we are reminded of God’s promise to change and to resurrect the saints living in the last days. The Feast of Tabernacles was fulfilled by the Preaching Week of the New Testament times, during which we preach the gospel to find the materials—the saints who are to be saved—for the heavenly temple.

Thanksgiving Day is an American festival, not a Christian feast. It is undoubtedly a man-made custom. A long time ago, Jeroboam, king of Israel, constructed golden calves to prevent his people from going to Jerusalem to keep the feasts of God. He said, "Here are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt," and instituted a feast on the fifteenth day of the eighth month similar to the festival held in Judah. The Bible says that Jeroboam’s actions were viewed as sinful in the eyes of God (1 Kin. 12:25-33). Jesus also spoke concerning this kind of people.

Mark 7:6-8 『He replied, "Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written: "'These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men.' You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions of men."』

Many people do not know the prophecies of the Feast of Firstfruits and the Feast of Tabernacles, or how these feasts were fulfilled. Most continue to follow and to proclaim incorrect teachings. They even shout, "Amen!" when these false doctrines are taught. We hope that, under God’s grace, they can realize the true decrees and laws of God.

The Bible says, "My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children" (Hos. 4:6). This is a warning to those who neglect God's commands and who follow only the commands of men.

Hebrews chapter nine reads, "Now the first covenant had regulations for worship and also an earthly sanctuary" (Heb. 9:1). This verse implies that the second covenant [the new covenant] had regulations for worship and for a heavenly sanctuary. Which covenant is more important? No one denies that the regulations of the new covenant are more important. The feasts and the regulations for worshiping God in the earthly sanctuary are merely a shadow whose reality is the feasts of the new covenant and the heavenly sanctuary, disclosed in the New Testament times.

Only God's people regard the regulations of the new covenant as precious. We pray that many souls will abandon the rules of men, will come to accept the regulations of the new covenant, and thus, will come to truly worship God.

Christ Ahnsahnghong; 2nd Coming Christ who brought Salvation -Ahnsahnghong

Christ Ahnsahnghong; 2nd Coming Christ who brought Salvation

In the Bible, Christ himself testified to his second coming, of this there can be no debate. However, understanding this correctly is an issue of great importance.

Apostle Paul testified as follows: Heb 9:27 ” Just as man is destined to die once, and after that face judgement, so christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.

Then according to the bible Christ is going to appear a second time. But if Christ is going to appear a second time that means we can see him; also for a second time applies there also is a first time. Then lets consider these two points.

When Christ appeared 2000 years ago, how did he appear? We all know it was in the Flesh. Then since the first coming of Christ was in the flesh the people of that time could obviously see him. First coming of Christ appeared in the flesh, BUT the bible testifies he will appear a second time. Then if first coming of Christ appeared a first time in the flesh, how should the second coming of Christ appear to the people. The obvious answer is in the flesh, hence he will appear a second time, meaning it should be the same as the first.

But in Hebrews 9:28 it also mentions that when he comes for a second time in the flesh it will not be to bear sin. The purpose of his second coming is to bring salvation to the people, i.e. to the world.

Then what is salvation? In the eyes of God is salvation a million dollars, being famous, worldly wealth or pleasure of any kind. It is common sense to undertsand that in the eyes of God these things are useless. The salvation that Christ gives is eternal life. This is what is important to God, this is explained in the book of John, Jn 10:10 “…I have come so that they may have life and have it to the full.” Christ’s purpose is to give life to the full, then is there room for death with full life. No, then if there is no death, there is only eternal life.

But the way Christ gave us to have eternal life (and which was explained in the blog before this one dated 1/21 ) was through his flesh and blood, (Jn 6:53) and there is only one way Christ gave us his flesh and blood to eat (also explained in the blog before this one) it is through the new covenant Passover. However as was mentioned earlier Passover was abolished in 325 a.d. after its abolition it was no longer practiced in the world, it was completely lost. But the Passover celebration was the only way Christ gave us his body and blood. Then upon it’s abolishment, was there salvation in this world?

The purpose in Christ coming a second time is to bring salvation. Then can salvation exist before 2nd coming Christ comes. If it were here already then Christ 2nd coming serves no purpose, does God’s almighty plan serve no purpose, certainly not.

Then 2nd coming Christ has to bring salvation because salvation is not in the world. But when 1st coming of Christ came he gave us Eternal life through the new covenant Passover. Then salvation was given through the Passover, but the Passover was abolished, taken away from the world. Then when 2nd coming Christ comes it is the Passover feast that he must bring with him, which is eternal life, which is salvation.

Then 2nd coming Christ is going to bring with him New Covenant Passover, But Christ Ahnsahnghong brought with him the New Covenant Passover and restored it. Then who is Christ Ahnsahnghong, he is true 2nd Coming Christ who has come to this world for the salvation of the children who were destined to be saved from the last plagues.

Thank you Heavenly Father Christ Ahnsahnghong who came to this world as prophesied and brought salvation before the last day comes. There are not words that can express the gratitude that we should feel, and there will never be enough thanks for the fathomless love you show to the children. Thank you Heavenly Father, Eternally!
