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).

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.

The world mission society church of God believes in God the Father Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother!

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.

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.

World mission society Church of God - Jerusalem Mother

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.
