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.

WMSCOG - Do you want be safe?
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 PassoverGod 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.

1 Co 15:50-58 『I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. . . .』
This is the promise of God. God has promised that He will change our mortal bodies into the immortal ones in a moment, at the last trumpet. The promise of eternal life is a gift from God, which is granted only to those who partake of the bread and wine which represent the body and blood of Christ by celebrating the Passover of the new covenant. For them, there is a living hope that at the last trumpet, the dead will be raised and those who are still alive will be changed and they will meet Christ together in the air.
1 Th 4:13-18 『. . . For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage each other with these words.』
This is the scene where the mortal body is changed into an immortal body as stated in 1 Corinthians. This perishable body puts on the imperishable, and this mortal body puts on immortality—this happens to the people who keep the Passover of the new covenant, who live in the promise of God. On the contrary, those who do not live in the new covenant cannot receive the promise of eternal life. Without the promise of eternal life, how could they be changed into immortal beings?
In order to change our mortal bodies into the immortal ones, God has given us the Passover of the new covenant, the truth of life. Therefore, the apostles celebrated this precious Passover year after year, and even after the Apostolic Age it continued to be celebrated. However, at the Council of Nicaea held in A.D. 325, the Passover was completely abolished by Satan. Afterwards, the Passover, the truth of life, disappeared from the earth for a long time. After the 1600-year-long period, Christ who came to this earth a second time restored the Passover to His chosen people in the last days. By this, God's work of salvation is to be completed. We can confirm this through the prophecies of the Bible (Heb 9:28; Isa 25:6-9).
The Passover through which God promises us life God makes streams gush forth in the desert and the buds of life come out on dry branches. This promise of God is fulfilled through the Passover of the new covenant. Those who receive this promise of life will become immortal, and their mortal bodies will be transformed into immortal, imperishable bodies. This is the teaching of the whole Bible.
Heb 9:15-22 『For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance—now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant. . . .』
The new covenant has the power to enable those who are called by God to receive the promised eternal inheritance of heaven. Some people may ask doubtfully, "It is merely a piece of bread and a cup of wine. How can we have eternal life just by eating the bread and drinking the wine?" However, the Passover contains a promise that God has made to us. Christianity is a religion based on God's promise. We are blessed by believing the promises which God has made to us and putting them into practice. No matter how diligently we believe in God, unless we celebrate the Passover, it is nothing but our own personal faith without God's promise.
"I will bestow blessing on you if you keep the seventh-day Sabbath." This is a promise between God and His people. "I will give you eternal life if you eat bread and drink wine on the Passover."
This is also a promise which God has given us. We may eat bread and drink wine in ordinary times, but God doesn't give any promise to that bread and wine. God has especially chosen the Passover to fulfill His promise to us. The Bible says that if we believe the promise of God and put it into practice, God will change our mortal bodies into the immortal ones so that we may experience the glorious moment when we will meet Christ in the air. Relying on the promise of God, we participate in the holy and precious Passover. So, we should live according to the example of Christ, following the path He walked. Our thoughts have to resemble the thoughts of Christ, and our behaviors should also change, so that we may become worthy to be called Christians. Since Christ came to this earth in order to save the world, our goal in life should be the same as that of Christ.
Let's preach the gospel of the new covenant to all nations, especially to the countries where the good news has not yet reached, so that they can all participate in God's work of salvation. To preach the gospel of the new covenant to the whole world, many brothers and sisters are now flying to and from all nations, like clouds, like doves to their nests. All our brothers and sisters in Zion! Let us strive even harder in preaching this gospel and depend firmly on the promise of God, so that we may become worthy enough to enter eternal life.

From the Mortal Body to the Immortal Body
People of Zion participate in the festival of life, which God grants, by keeping the Passover holy every year. The Gospels of the New Testament show that Jesus established the Passover as the new covenant, saying, "I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer" (Lk 22:15).
Why did Jesus eagerly desire to celebrate the Passover with His disciples? It was because He wanted to accomplish His administration of redemption to save the sinners, who were bound to die, by making their bodies immortal through the Passover of the new covenant. People say that the manna coming down from heaven or Lazarus' rising from the dead is a miracle. In actuality, however, there is no greater miracle than making human beings, who were destined to die eternally, immortal beings forever through the Passover. Let's look into God's wondrous miracle of changing our mortal bodies into immortal ones and take a look at the words of promise concerning it. Human beings are all slaves to sin Everyone born into this world cannot escape death. Although it is said that man is the lord of all creation, he must yield to the power of death in the end. So, we cannot help but say that man is a slave to sin, rather than the lord of all creation.
Heb 9:27 『Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment,』
Ro 7:24-25 『What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? . . .』
The above words in the book of Romans show not only Apostle Paul's personal anguish and lamentation, but that of all people. Man is to live a weary, hard life, being chained to death. In order to live a longer and healthier life, people seek medical help from famous doctors or good medicine even though it costs so much, but nobody can escape death and after death they are to face judgment. The Bible tells us this fact.
Ps 90:9-10 『All our days pass away under your wrath; we finish our years with a moan. The length of our days is seventy years—or eighty, if we have the strength; yet their span is but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away.』
Just as the Bible says that we "fly away," our life passes away very quickly. Even for such a short life span, people live a sinful life that is not pleasing to God, and all of their days pass away under the wrath of the Lord; their life is filled with trouble and sorrow and it fades away quickly. Living without knowing God is like rushing towards death—such a life is just like a breakless car. So, Solomon testified that everything is meaningless if we look deeply into life.
Ecc 1:1-11 『The words of the Teacher, son of David, king in Jerusalem: "Meaningless! Meaningless!" says the Teacher. "Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless." What does man gain from all his labor at which he toils under the sun? . . .』
People make all kinds of efforts for meaningless things, but eventually their life ends in death. Since Solomon realized this emptiness of life, although he had everything—wealth, splendor, power and wisdom which everyone envied, he came to the conclusion that all of man's toilsome labor under the sun is totally useless, saying, "Meaningless! Meaningless! Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless." God has given us the Passover, the feast of life God looked down from heaven on human beings living such empty and meaningless lives, and took pity on them. Having pity on us who couldn't escape the agony of death and the tortures of hell in the future, God came down to this earth to give us eternal life.
Heb 2:14-15 『Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil—and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.』
Jn 10:10 『"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."』 God Himself came to this earth to grant eternal life to human beings who were destined to die—this is the most blessed and joyful news for us. Now, let's see how God gives us eternal life.
Jn 6:53-57 『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. . . ."』
To save us by letting us eat His flesh and drink His blood, God has to sacrifice Himself. For so many sinners who are dying, God has established the principle of truth—that is giving them eternal life by sacrificing Himself. If a kernel of wheat dies, it sprouts and blooms and produces many seeds—a hundred times or a thousand times what was sown. This is the principle that God has taken. The flesh and blood of Christ that grants eternal life is given to mankind through the Passover.
Mt 26:17-19, 26-28 『. . . 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."』
Lk 22:7-15, 19-20 『. . . 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 says that we have eternal life if we eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood. By saying this, Jesus means that He will give us eternal life if we eat bread and drink wine on the Passover. God has given us the Passover in order to redeem us, mortal beings, from death and grant us eternal life and then take us to heaven. This is God's ultimate will contained in the Passover. So, in the book of Luke, this Passover is described as the "new covenant" which Jesus established while He was on the earth. The kingdom of heaven where those who have received the promise of eternal life can enter The Passover of the new covenant is not just a feast, but it is God's promise to lead mankind to the way of eternal life. The Bible calls this blessed news the "gospel." So, Apostle Paul called himself a servant of the gospel or a minister of the new covenant. Thus, he made it clear that the gospel is the new covenant. God came to this earth and established the Passover of the new covenant through His precious blood to give us eternal life. Let's find out the reason why God wanted to give us eternal life.
Rev 21:1-4 『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. . . . 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 . . .』
The kingdom of God is an eternal world where there is no death. To live where there is no death, the first condition is to have eternal life. So, in order to bring us to that place, God has promised us eternal life through the bread and wine of the Passover of the new covenant, and has opened a new and living way by which those who have eternal life can go back to heaven. When the everlasting kingdom of heaven comes, those who have received the promise of eternal life in the truth of the new covenant will be changed into the spiritual beings over whom death can never reign again and will go to that eternal place.
People of Zion participate in the festival of life, which God grants, by keeping the Passover holy every year. The Gospels of the New Testament show that Jesus established the Passover as the new covenant, saying, "I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer" (Lk 22:15).
Why did Jesus eagerly desire to celebrate the Passover with His disciples? It was because He wanted to accomplish His administration of redemption to save the sinners, who were bound to die, by making their bodies immortal through the Passover of the new covenant.

God came to this earth and established the Passover of the new covenant through His precious blood to give us eternal life. Let's find out the reason why God wanted to give us eternal life.
Rev 21:1-4 『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. . . . 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 . . .』
The kingdom of God is an eternal world where there is no death. To live where there is no death, the first condition is to have eternal life. So, in order to bring us to that place, God has promised us eternal life through the bread and wine of the Passover of the new covenant, and has opened a new and living way by which those who have eternal life can go back to heaven. When the everlasting kingdom of heaven comes, those who have received the promise of eternal life in the truth of the new covenant will be changed into the spiritual beings over whom death can never reign again and will go to that eternal place.

The Sacred Assembly of the Day of Resurrection 2009
Datum 2009/04/12
On April 12, the day [Sunday] after the Sabbath following the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Sacred Assembly of the Day of Resurrection was held to commemorate the great power of Christ who destroyed the power of death and rose from the dead three days after He was crucified.
The Day of Resurrection originated from the day when the Israelites crossed the Red Sea and landed on the eastern shore of it after they came out of Egypt. The name of this feast in the Old Testament is the Feast of Firstfruits. The Israelites brought to the priest a sheaf of the first grain they harv ested, and he waved the sheaf before God on the day after the Sabbath (Lev 23:9-14). Jesus fulfilled the prophecy of the Feast of Firstfruits by rising from the dead as the fristfruits of those who had fallen asleep, on the day following the Sabbath after He was crucified on the Feast of Unleavened Bread (1 Co 15:20).
Mother gave glory to Heavenly Father who broke the shackles of death and overcame the power of Satan, and blessed Her children by praying that they would be able to achieve the rise of faith as the workers of the new covenant who preach the gospel to the whole world with all their heart, mind and soul. General Pastor Joo-Cheol Kim said, “Today is a very delightful day when we are given the living hope that the dead in Christ will be raised imperishable and that those who have not tasted death will be changed into angels in a flash,” and he asked the members to preach the gospel boldly like the saints of the early Church, being born again as new creatures who hope for things in heaven (1 Co 15:50-58; 1 Th 4:13-18; Col 3:1-17).
In addition, he repeatedly emphasized, saying, “When the Israelites shouted altogether, the walls of Jericho fell down, so they were able to enter the land of Canaan. Likewise, when we shout the salvation of Heavenly Mother with an undivided heart, putting on the resurrection of the righteous as the weapon of salvation, then Babylon will fall and many souls will take part in the resurrection of the righteous” (Ro 6:5-14; 2 Co 3:5-6). After the service, the members broke bread together according to the example of Jesus who took bread, gave thanks, broke it and gave it to His disciples on the day when He was resurrected, so their spiritual eyes were opened and recognized Him (Lk 24:13-35). They also hoped that all people around the world would participate in the resurrection of life granted by Heavenly Mother, longing for the glorious day when they will be changed in a flash.

The Happy Moments for Families to Share Love Together
In May, called the “month of family” in Korea, when summer was just around the corner, a meaningful event was held at the Okcheon Go&Come Training Institute. On May 10, the “2nd New Jerusalem Festival for Families” was successfully held; over 12,000 people including the members and their families from the northern areas of Gyeonggi Province were invited to the event. Under the clear blue sky spread out like a picture, each family gathered together to share food they’d prepared. After lunch, they spent quality time with their family, taking a look around the Institute and posing for pictures in front of the man-made waterfall pouring down cool refreshing water. They also took a look at the photos exhibited in the main building and the education hall, through which they found out the present status of the domestic and overseas missions. In addition, they watched a Church video containing an overview of volunteer activities on the big projector screen installed in front of the Theological Seminary.
Around 1 p.m., the welcoming ceremony began. Mother expressed Her warm welcome and gratitude to the members and their families who participated in the Festival and made the event more meaningful and successful. She told them about the blessings of the kingdom of heaven, their spiritual home, and expressed Her wish for them to live joyful and happy lives by sharing the blessings of heaven with their loving family members. General Pastor Joo-Cheol Kim prayed for all the members of each family to be bound together in love and live in peace and harmony. Then he briefly introduced the history of the Church of God, saying that the Church of God believes in God the Mother, following the truth of the Bible. In addition, he expressed his hope that they would have a great time with their family members sharing love together and enjoying the beautiful weather and that they would also become bonded together in the heavenly family. The event started with a magnificent and powerful performance by the Brass Band. It was accompanied by a medley of children’s songs, a fan dance and floral coronet dance by the cute little angels. Their performances livened up the atmosphere of the event. Then there were performances by the Messiah Orchestra, the 38th Overseas Visiting Group and the United Choir and the Men’s Choir, and it made the event much more enjoyable.
the performance event, traditional Korea folk games were played in the outdoor soccer field: neolttwigi (seesaw jumping), gulungsoi (trundling a hoop), tuho (arrow throwing game), jegichagi (shuttlecock kicking), ttakjichigi (slap-match game), etc. All the members of each family, from grandparents to grandchildren, had fun playing the games in spite of the hot sun in early summer. This day, love was in full bloom among the members of each family. All the participants returned with joy and satisfaction, saying, “We don’t get together often because each of us is so busy. Today, all of our family members have gathered together after a long time. We had a really good time.” The New Jerusalem Festival for Families will be continuously held for each Union of the local Churches.

Passover - Ahnsahnghong
Christ Ahnsahnghong, 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.

Passover - Ahnsahnghong
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."』
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.
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.

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 Parable of the Fig Tree
The Parable of the Fig Tree
The Bible prophesied that Jesus would appear a second time (Heb. 9:28). Ahnsahnghong—whom the Church of God believes in as their Savior—is Jesus who has come a second time, according to the prophecy. Then, when is Jesus prophesied to come a second time? Why does the Church of God believe that the Second Coming Christ is Ahnsahnghong?
Through the parable of the fig tree, Jesus revealed that He would come for the second time in 1948, when Israel—represented as the fig tree—would gain its independence. Ahnsahnghong came in 1948 according to the prophecy of the fig tree, so the Church of God believes in Him as the Second Coming Christ. Then, does the Bible disclose when Jesus will come?

Signs of the End of the Age
Signs of the End of the Age
When the disciples asked about the signs of Jesus’ second coming and of the end of the age, Jesus said:
Matt. 24:3-33 『"...At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, And all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming onThe clouds of the sky, with power and great glory. And he will send his angels witha loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one endof the heavens to the other. Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as itstwigs 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."』
Since it is written, "As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that it is near," we must come to know the timing of the fig tree and we must receive Jesus when He comes a second time.

Is church of God heresy?
What Is Heresy?
The word, "heresy," has historically never been used as frequently as it is today. Since the advent of Christianity, even non-Christians have thoughtlessly used the word, without ever considering its true meaning.
The Church of God believes in Christ Ahnsahnghong, who came, wearing the flesh, in accordance with the prophecies of Jesus’ second coming. The Church of God keeps the Passover and the Sabbath day, as Christ taught; however, the world rejects the Church, arguing, "They believe in a man," and, "They keep the Sabbath." The Bible testifies that the churches keeping Sunday service, Christmas, and Thanksgiving Day, and who revere the cross and the Virgin Mary—without ever referring to the Bible—are the true heretics.
We need to come to understand what "heresy" truly is. If we do not realize what is seen as heresy in the eyes of God, we will be led into destruction. The word "heresy" means the dissent or deviation from a dominant truth of God—that is, the adherence to lawlessness.

Ahnsahnghong - Passover
Christ Ahnsahnghong, 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.

The Fruit of the Tree of Life Is the Bread and Wine of the Passover
Now, what is important is how to eat Jesus’ flesh and drink His blood, the reality of
the tree of life in the Garden of Eden. It is impossible to eat Jesus Himself. Then,
what does the words of John 6:53 mean? These words are referred to the words
of Matthew 26:17. In this verse, we can find the way to eat the flesh and blood of
Jesus.
Matt. 26:17-26 『On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Where do you want us to make preparations for you to
eat the Passover?" He replied, "Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, 'The Teacher says: My appointed time is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.'" 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.』
Jesus said that the bread and wine of the Passover is His flesh and blood, that is Jesus Himself. Eating the bread of the Passover and drinking the Passover wine is eating of the tree of life in the Garden of Eden. So far, we have studied that the tree of life is a parable and its reality is Jesus, and the truth through which we can eat Jesus’ flesh and drink His blood is the Passover.
We can understand that the tree of life is allowed to us through the Passover, and that Jesus who allowed us to eat from the tree of life is God.

The Reality of the Tree of Life Is Jesus
Then, how can we eat from the tree of life?
If we look into the history of the Garden of Eden, we can find out that it is God that banned the sinners from eating of the tree of life. Then, we can reason that it is also only God that will allow us the tree of life. So Jesus who is God came to save us by restoring the tree of life to us.
John 10:10 『The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.』
The words, "I have come that they may have life," means, "I have come that they may eat from the tree of life." What is the reality of the tree of life?
John 6:53-54 『Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.』
In the book of Genesis, what should we eat to live forever? It’s the fruit of the tree of life. However, what did Jesus say we should eat to live forever? He said we should eat His flesh and drink His blood. Then, what is Jesus’ flesh and blood? It’s the fruit of the tree of life. That’s right. The fruit of the tree of life in the Garden of Eden represents Jesus’ flesh and blood. By eating Jesus’ flesh and blood we can eat the fruit of the tree of life which was lost by Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. We should eat Jesus’ flesh and blood in order to have eternal life.

The Tree of Life Hidden Since the Creation
Matt. 13:34-35 『Jesus spoke all these things to the crowd in parables; he did not say anything to them without using a parable. So was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophet: "I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden since the creation of the world."』
Jesus revealed the things hidden since the creation through the parables. Among the 66 books, which book has the history of the creation of the world? It is the book of Genesis.
In the book of Genesis there are many parables showing God’s Providence. Among the parables, let’s study the tree of life.
Gen. 2:16-17 『And the LORD God commanded the man, "You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die."』
In the Garden of Eden, God the LORD put the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. And He commanded Adam and Eve not to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. However, they were tempted by Satan and violated the commandment of God. By this, human beings are destined to die and death entered this world through sin.
After Adam and Even sinned in the Garden of Eden, has God ever given us an opportunity to be saved from death? Is there no way to be freed from death?
Gen. 3:22 『And the LORD God said, "The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever."』
As stated in the above verse, there is only one way for us to live forever. It is to eat from the tree of life.

The Second Coming Christ is prophesied to come from Korea, in the east
About the East
The Bible prophesies that when Jesus comes to the earth for a second time, He will come in a cloud [in the flesh] in the same way He came for the first time.
Therefore, there must be prophecies which testify where He will appear in His second coming. At the time of His first coming, it had been prophesied that Jesus would come from Bethlehem. Like this, the Bible also prophesies about where He will appear in His second coming.
The Bible prophesies that He will be born in Korea, located in the east, at the ends of the earth. The Second Coming Christ, Ahnsahnghong, was born, in the flesh, in Korea—the land in the east—in 1948, according to the prophecies of the Bible. How can we not bow down before God when every word of His prophecy is accomplished?
We, the members of the Church of God, believe what is written in the Bible. We sincerely hope that you may recognize the Second Coming Christ, of whom the Bible prophesies.
Korea, the Country in the East, at the Ends of the EarthIsa. 24:15-16 『Therefore in the east give glory to the LORD; exalt the name of the LORD, the God of Israel, in the islands of the sea. From the ends of the earth we hear singing: "Glory to the Righteous One."』
The above prophecy reveals that God’s chosen people will give glory and praise to the God in the east. When we read this chapter from the first verse, it is clear that this prophecy is concerning the last day—the last day when God will ruin the earth’s face and will burn up all of the inhabitants. When God banishes all of the gaiety form the earth, a certain group of people will shout for joy and will give glory to God, meaning that God would guide His chosen people on the last day, from the east. Then, where is "the east"? First, we have to know the point of origin. Isaiah prophesied from the country of Israel. Thus, "the east" must be a land east of Israel: Asia. Among the countries in Asia, which country is located towards the east, "at the ends of the earth"?
Russia is to the north, India is south, and China is Central Asia. Even Japan, though located in the east, is not a land at the ends of the earth—it is in the middle of the sea. It is only Korea that is located in the east, at the ends of the earth.
Thus, the Second Coming Christ is prophesied to come from Korea, in the east, at the ends of the earth. In accordance with the prophecy, Christ Ahnsahnghong came from Korea. The Church of God, departing from the fixed ideas of men, received Ahnsahnghong as the Second Coming Christ because He has fulfilled all of the prophecies about Jesus’ second coming.
Everything stems from the boundless grace and love of God Ahnsahnghong.

The Parable of the Fig Tree
The Parable of the Fig Tree
The Bible prophesied that Jesus would appear a second time (Heb. 9:28). Ahnsahnghong—whom the Church of God believes in as their Savior—is Jesus who has come a second time, according to the prophecy. Then, when is Jesus prophesied to come a second time? Why does the Church of God believe that the Second Coming Christ is Ahnsahnghong? Through the parable of the fig tree, Jesus revealed that He would come for the second time in 1948, when Israel—represented as the fig tree—would gain its independence. Ahnsahnghong came in 1948 according to the prophecy of the fig tree, so the Church of God believes in Him as the Second Coming Christ. Then, does the Bible disclose when Jesus will come?
Signs of the End of the Age
When the disciples asked about the signs of Jesus’ second coming and of the end of the age, Jesus said: Matt. 24:3-33 『"...At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, And all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming onThe clouds of the sky, with power and great glory. And he will send his angels witha loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one endof the heavens to the other. Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as itstwigs 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."』Since it is written, "As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that it is near," we must come to know the timing of the fig tree and we must receive Jesus when He comes a second time.

Jerusalem Mother (God the Mother)
Jerusalem Mother
We understand through the previous post everything that has been created has the will of God. Then now we will see the existance of our Heavenly Mother's through the Bible through the creation in Genesis.Gen 1:26 "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."God created male and female in the image of God. This means, Adam represents the male image of God who is God The Father. However, Eve was also created in the image of God. Then whom does eve represent? that is God the Mother.Through this we can already see the existence of the female image of God. This creation is made in accordance to the will of God. What is the will of God in creating Adam? Whom does Adam represent?Rm 5:14 "... as did Adam who was the pattern of the one to come" The one to come here represents Second Coming Christ (Rev 22:12).1Cor 15:45 "... the first first man Adam became a living being, the last man Adam, a life-giving spirit.. the first man was from the dust of the earth, the second man from heaven.We can understand, the reason why God made Adam is because he represents Second Coming Christ. That is our Heavenly Father.---THE WILL OF GOD IN CREATING EVE---When God created Eve, she was created as the suitable helper for Adam because he can't give birth. So Eve's function is to give life, birth. Gen 3:20 "Adam named is wife Eve, because she would become the mother of all the living"Even exists because she is to become the Mother of all the living. She represents our Mother. If Second Coming Christ, the Last Adam is our Father, then the last Eve is our Heavenly Mother who is to appear in the last days to give us life.Please continue reading the blogs about Jerusalem Mother. On our next post we will see the reasno why Jesus Christ only promised to give life "at the last day" How come he could not give it 2,000 years ago?God bless you!!

Why did God created Adam and Eve?
Many people ask themselves "Why did God created Adam and Eve?" "What is their role?" Well, I ask myself that question many times and I never understood anything until I came to the Church of God. Through the studies that Heavenly Father Christ Ahnsahnghong left for us I was able to understand the role Adam and Eve represent and you can check the following scriptures so that you can also understand.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 (1 Corinthians 15:45) and Eve was created to reveal the Second Coming Jesus’ wife, our heavenly Mother (Galatians 4:26)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.
The 1st Adam and the 1st Eve represent The Spirit and the Bride that the book of Revelation speaks about that will come to give us the water of eternal life. Revelation 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."
All thanks and praises to our Heavenly Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother New Jerusalem for coming to this world and giving us the precious promise of eternal life!!!!!

In the Age of the Holy Spirit
As we continue to understand the fact that the Name of the Savior changes EVERYTIME the age changes, we must now know who is our Savior.
Do you think you can be saved by the Name of "Jesus" any longer?
The Answer to this questions is simple.
NO
But let's based this on the Bible: Rev 3:12 "... I will write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on him MY NEW NAME. "
Jesus Christ said He WILL come with a New Name. If we insist He will come with the same Name of "Jesus" as 2,000 years ago then we make God a liar for His word would not be in us. The New Name is the Name of the Savior, we can no longer be saved by the Name of Jesus. We should take Scriptures for what they say:
Rev 2:17 "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give him a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives it.
We can't deny the Word of God, the stone in the Bible represents Christ, and white manna stands for the Passover. The one that has come with the New Name and with Passover in this last days, age of the Holy Spirit is God Himself, who has done this? CHRIST AHNSAHNGHONG ... That is the New Name by which we can be Saved, He is the Savior in this age, He is the very God that said let there be light and there was light.
Please beleive in Christ Ahnsahnghong and don't be deceived by Satan's evil schemes, we already saw what he made the beleivers do 2,000 years ago. Don't judge by mere appearance. Those who follow the teachings of Christ Ahnsahnghong will see that these teachings come from God (John 7:15-17)
We have to believe in God the Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother!
Do you think you can be saved by the Name of "Jesus" any longer?
The Answer to this questions is simple.
NO

True Happiness Found in Mother
True Happiness Found in Mother
NATION USA
NAME Paula Silson
Where do I begin? There were so many scenarios in my head about what it would be like to see Mother. I had seen the videos and heard many fragrances. I felt as though I could imagine what it was like. This could not have been further from the truth, even though my whole life was preparing me for this moment, I had no idea how much my perspective would change in just ten short days. No words can describe the feeling you get just being in the same room as Mother. Even now as I try to write the only term that comes to my mind is inexpressible. I could only imagine that it was like how heaven must be no worries or cares, only trying to take in every moment and keep it somehow.Before coming to the truth, I was so worldly, only having physical goals: Like how I could make more money, how I could have the best stuff, anything to make myself happy. I didn’t realize the whole time there was nothing I could do that could make me happy. Father and Mother called me out of darkness and into Their light in January of 2007; They brought me into true happiness. Even though my husband had preached to me for nearly 6 years, I continued to judge and persecute and hold onto my physical life. Father and Mother full of love were so patient with this rebellious child. For this patience and mercy I am eternally thankful to my Heavenly Parents. Visiting Korea, I knew there was so much I wanted to thank Mother for, also so much I wanted to apologize for.In the days leading up to the trip, I began to think what it was that I really wanted to learn in Korea. I felt like I lacked understanding in so many areas though I had knowledge. So whereas I knew Father and Mother loved us, I wanted to understand how much. In my heart if this was accomplished, then I truly learned something worth sharing. My prayers were answered when some of the sacrifice our Parents made was revealed to us. I knew They left Their heavenly thrones and came to this earth, bound by the flesh. However, because this sacrifice is in a realm which we cannot conceive, They sacrificed more. They forsook all things?food, warmth and sleep, and the list went on an on. How could this be possible? Only because They are God and because of the love They have for Their children, it is possible. Learning how much They had given up for our eternal life was something that weighed so heavily on my heart. I felt so ashamed for taking my salvation for granted and not thinking about the path that Father and Mother walked in order that I may receive it.As the days passed by, I began to see Mother differently. In the beginning I could only think about Her as God who knows all things, but then I started to see Her as my Mother who has loved me from creation despite my many imperfections. Mother never hesitated to tell us how much She loved us or grab our hand if the opportunity was available, anything to demonstrate to us Her love, even listening to nearly one hundred brothers and sisters practice preaching, always encouraging and smiling, making you feel so comfortable. Before we left, Mother earnestly prayed for Her children to receive strength to endure in these last days. Though I came to Korea with curiosity, I left with certainty that Father and Mother are God Almighty and They love us so much and also that with Them all things are possible. Now returning back to the states, I want to hold onto all the blessing and love that Mother gave me and shine Her glory to the world. Though only a portion of this gospel work is left to be complete, I pray that all of my brothers and sisters receive the Holy Spirit and work diligently till we can be together with our Heavenly Father and Mother and live in unity with perfect happiness eternally.ness Found in Mother

The Passover of the New Covenant
The Passover of the New Covenant
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 Love of Mother Jerusalem
The Love of Mother Jerusalem
Who in this world doesn't know the love of a mother? Everyone knows because everyone has a mother. A mother's love is the reason we look forward to going home after a long day of school, or the reason we feel confident in life because we are always told we can accomplish anything. And when everyone else has turned their backs on us, our moms are always there with open arms ready to comfort us. How do they know just when we need them or how to make us feel protected? It is GOD'S will that's how!! Listen to this....
Romans 1:19,20......
" For since the creation of the world GOD'S invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature, have been cleary seen being understood by what has been made......."
Then who doesn't know about the six days of creation??? Yeah we all know GOD made the heavens and the earth in six days-but have you ever really looked at the sixth day??? Hello!!! Take a look! The six days of creation are found in the book of Gensis.
Genesis 1:26,27......
"Then GOD said LET US make man in OUR image.......27: So GOD created man in his own image.....MALE and FEMALE he created them."
Then from this one verse(shock) God clearly has two images!!! Ok, ok, so what's the point? I thought the same thing! But think about it. We have the male image of GOD that we call what? GOD the FATHER. Then automatically the female image of GOD should be called what?? GOD the MOTHER!! It's so simple and clear. Alright, so it sounds different, but even the apostles knew about her 2,000 years ago. Look at what apostle Paul wrote.....
Galations 4:26...
"But the JERUSALEM that is above is free and she is OUR MOTHER."
The bible actually testifies more about our heavenly Mother than anything else! Until I studied the bible I didn't even understand or remember the kingdom of heaven. The same for everyone right? Then how could we possibly remember the love of our Spiritual Mother? But even though we forgot about her, she never forgot about us, the children who were lost from heaven.
Isaiah 49:15.....
"Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you!"
God made the earth, the seas, the plants and all the animals. GOD does nothing without reason. If we didn't have a family system, how could we ever understand the love of a mother?Is it really so hard to believe all that GOD left in the bible for us?? And think about it ladies...how many times have we said "WHY CANT GOD BE A WOMAN?" Well, God is MALE AND FEMALE!!!
I don't put words together well or explain things with great finesse, but think about this one thing. If a mother loses her child what does she do? She gives her life to find them. She gives herself no rest until her baby is back in her arms safe and sound. That's only in this world. Imagine what the mother of our spirits..our HEAVENLY MOTHER JERUSALEM has been doing just to have us in her arms again. Our whole life she has watched over us and protected us and comforted us without us even knowing. She always gives unconditional love, after all GOD is love. The love of a MOTHER.

The Spirit -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.

Passover -
PASSOVER = Salvation of our souls
When the people hear that the members of the Church of God World Mission Society keep the Passover, automatically without any reason we are persecuted. If you existed during the time Jesus Christ was alive, would you have mocked Him? Let us see the true reason why we keep the Passover.--ORIGIN OF THE PASSOVER--The Israelites were in slavery for 430 years (Ex 12:40). For so long they prayed to God for freedom. God could have used any type of method to free them, maybe a plan to attach the egyptians or to escape during the night. However, God made His power known by having the Israelites celebrate the Passover, and due to their obedience they received the blessing of freedom of slavey and protection from disaster. This is the origin of the Passover. This is a Law God Commanded to be kept for the generations to come. Which means as long as there are people living in this world, EVERYONE WHO CALLS HIMSELF A BELEIVER SHOULD KEEP THE PASSOVER (EX 12:14). That is why on our next post, let us see how the Passover affects current Christians. What is the blessing the Church of God members are receiving by keeping this Passover. GOD BLESS YOU!

Mother Jerusalem
Mother Jerusalem
Now, the news of salvation is spreading rapidly across the world. People who never heard or understood about God are beginning to receive the truth with great delight. Most people wish to know why they are existing in this world, and what awaits them afterward. All of these fundamental human questions can be answered through the Bible.
However, the Bible has recently become an object of humor and most peole today see it only as book stories. We, on the other hand, do not. We see the Bible as a book of prophecy which helps us understand the spiritual world and lead us to the kingdom of Heaven. Also, the Bible teaches us about the existence of our Spiritual Mother, Heavenly Mother Jerusalem. She is the spiritual city which gives eternal life. I don't mean a literal city, but She represents the place where we can receive God's abundant blessing, Jerusalem. This Jerusalem, however, is from Heaven, not Palestine. She is God the Mother; the female image of God.
People are traveling all the way around the world to visit Heavenly Mother and to receive Her blessings. I hope that you too can receive God's blessing in this last age. God bless you...

The 27th Overseas Visiting Group from North, Central and South America, Oceania and RussiaGod bless you! Dios lo bendiga mucho! 符媚 乃符玘萄酪玘 萄! ! Brothers and sisters share greetings in four foreign languages at the New Jerusalem Temple. They are all the members of the heavenly family, who understand each other in God's love just by looking at each other.
ⓒ 2006 WATVThe 27th Overseas Visiting Group came to Korea to see Mother the new Jerusalem, their spiritual home. On October 22, 80 members successively arrived in Korea from fifteen cities in eight countries?from Russia , from Central and South America in the Southern Hemisphere on the opposite side of the world from Korea , from six cities in the United States , and from New Zealand . During their stay in Korea , they studied the words of truth and experienced God's love as well as brotherly love at the New Jerusalem Temple, the Head Office and the Training Institute. From early in the morning till midnight, Mother welcomed all the members, who flew from afar like doves to their nests, with Her constant love. A sister from Peru said that when she approached Mother, she was worried because she thought, Will Mother say I love you' to a sinner like me? She expressed the overwhelming emotion she experienced, saying, My heart felt like it was going to burst when Mother hugged me, saying, Te amo (I love you).' Mother appreciated the efforts of the overseas members who came such a long way. She told them about the work of the Holy Spirit of the latter rain that occurred during the Feast of Tabernacles, and blessed them, saying, Receive the blessing of the Holy Spirit abundantly and bear much good fruit pleasing to God as great workers when you go back.
ⓒ 2006 WATVThe members from Peru, Mexico, USA and New Zealand, along with the members from Brazil, Chile, Argentina and Russia who made their first visit to Korea, asked blessings for the Churches rather than for their own wishes, and desired that the world mission be quickly accomplished. Members from eight countries studied together and gave thanks and glory to God, encouraging each other and sharing fragrances of Zion . On October 29, they participated in the Awards Ceremony for the Fruits During the Preaching Festival of the Feast of Tabernacles, together with over 17,000 members in Korea , and witnessed the current status of the gospel accomplished by the power of the Holy Spirit. When Mother said, Let the fire of the Holy Spirit keep burning and lead many souls to heaven with burning love, they said, Amen, and their hearts were also burning within themselves. They showed their determination towards the gospel, saying, The fire of the Holy Spirit is burning in our hearts hotter than during the Preaching Festival of the Feast of Tabernacles. We will diligently preach the new covenant of life and find all our lost heavenly family members. The next day, the overseas members visited the Church of God History Museum and were all overwhelmed by the Holy Spirit. Watching videos with captions translated in English, Spanish and Russian, and hearing the guides' explanations, they inscribed the love of heavenly Father and Mother deep into their hearts. Their eyes welled up with tears when they said, Our souls have come to life through the suffering and sacrifice of our Father and Mother. We will follow the sacrificial path of Christ and bear beautiful fruit of the gospel.
ⓒ 2006 WATVMother blessed the overseas visiting group, saying, If you return home, bear much fruit and receive much love from Father. Cherishing Mother's love and the overwhelming emotions through the Holy Spirit in their hearts, they departed from Korea . They said, We could feel we were being touched more deeply by the Holy Spirit day by day during our stay in Korea . They will spread the blazing fire of the Holy Spirit after they go back to their country, and their enthusiasm for the gospel will accelerate the speed of world evangelism.

Where do I begin? There were so many scenarios in my head about what it would be like to see Mother. I had seen the videos and heard many fragrances. I felt as though I could imagine what it was like. This could not have been further from the truth, even though my whole life was preparing me for this moment, I had no idea how much my perspective would change in just ten short days. No words can describe the feeling you get just being in the same room as Mother. Even now as I try to write the only term that comes to my mind is inexpressible. I could only imagine that it was like how heaven must be no worries or cares, only trying to take in every moment and keep it somehow.
Before coming to the truth, I was so worldly, only having physical goals: Like how I could make more money, how I could have the best stuff, anything to make myself happy. I didn’t realize the whole time there was nothing I could do that could make me happy. Father and Mother called me out of darkness and into Their light in January of 2007; They brought me into true happiness. Even though my husband had preached to me for nearly 6 years, I continued to judge and persecute and hold onto my physical life. Father and Mother full of love were so patient with this rebellious child. For this patience and mercy I am eternally thankful to my Heavenly Parents. Visiting Korea, I knew there was so much I wanted to thank Mother for, also so much I wanted to apologize for.
In the days leading up to the trip, I began to think what it was that I really wanted to learn in Korea. I felt like I lacked understanding in so many areas though I had knowledge. So whereas I knew Father and Mother loved us, I wanted to understand how much. In my heart if this was accomplished, then I truly learned something worth sharing. My prayers were answered when some of the sacrifice our Parents made was revealed to us. I knew They left Their heavenly thrones and came to this earth, bound by the flesh. However, because this sacrifice is in a realm which we cannot conceive, They sacrificed more. They forsook all things?food, warmth and sleep, and the list went on an on. How could this be possible? Only because They are God and because of the love They have for Their children, it is possible. Learning how much They had given up for our eternal life was something that weighed so heavily on my heart. I felt so ashamed for taking my salvation for granted and not thinking about the path that Father and Mother walked in order that I may receive it.
As the days passed by, I began to see Mother differently. In the beginning I could only think about Her as God who knows all things, but then I started to see Her as my Mother who has loved me from creation despite my many imperfections. Mother never hesitated to tell us how much She loved us or grab our hand if the opportunity was available, anything to demonstrate to us Her love, even listening to nearly one hundred brothers and sisters practice preaching, always encouraging and smiling, making you feel so comfortable.
Before we left, Mother earnestly prayed for Her children to receive strength to endure in these last days. Though I came to Korea with curiosity, I left with certainty that Father and Mother are God Almighty and They love us so much and also that with Them all things are possible. Now returning back to the states, I want to hold onto all the blessing and love that Mother gave me and shine Her glory to the world. Though only a portion of this gospel work is left to be complete, I pray that all of my brothers and sisters receive the Holy Spirit and work diligently till we can be together with our Heavenly Father and Mother and live in unity with perfect happiness eternally.

Ahnsahnghong - The Key Factor in Deciding an Heir Is "Mother"
The Key Factor in Deciding an Heir Is "Mother"
Let’s study the reason why God chose Isaac to be Abraham’s heir.
Both Eliezer’s father and his mother were slaves, neither of them was free. This is the reason why God did not allow him to be Abraham’s heir. Ishmael’s father, Abraham, was free, but his mother, Hagar, was a slave and not a free woman. This is why God could not allow Ishmael to become Abraham’s heir. Isaac’s father, Abraham, was a free man, and his mother, Sarah, was a free woman. The fact that Isaac had been born of a free woman was the big difference between Ishmael and Isaac, and this discrepancy became the key factor in choosing Abraham’s heir.
In those days, the eldest son inherited all of his family’s property. Since Ishmael was older than Isaac, he should have become the heir—that is, if God had made His decision according to the paternal line. Ishmael was not chosen to become Abraham’s heir, even though he was Abraham’s eldest son, because his mother was not a free woman, but a slave. Thus, it is clear that the decisive factor in choosing Abraham’s heir was his mother.
What we need to focus on while studying the history of Abraham’s family is not merely the story of a man and his family. As you know, the Bible is not a storybook to tell us of men and their families. Nevertheless, God repeatedly mentioned the story of this particular family. Actually, the history of Abraham was a shadow of what was to happen in the future. In order for us to know who could become God’s heir, the story of Abraham’s family was written, as a prophecy.
Therefore, through the history of Abraham’s family, we can clearly understand that the decisive factor in choosing an heir is the mother. As Isaac became Abraham’s heir through Sarah, his free mother, we can become God’s heirs through our heavenly Mother, who is a free woman. Only those who believe in the heavenly Mother—only the children who are born through the new covenant—can inherit the heavenly Father’s kingdom. Let us read one more verse testifying about the heavenly Mother.
Gal. 4:22-31 『...But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother...Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise. At that time the son born in the ordinary way persecuted the son born by the power of the Spirit. It is the same now. But what does the Scripture say? "Get rid of the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman's son will never share in the inheritance with the free woman's son." Therefore, brothers, we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman.』
The Bible declares that we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman. Ishmael could not inherit his father’s estate because his mother, Hagar, was only a slave, not a free woman. On the other hand, Isaac was chosen to become Abraham’s heir because his mother, Sarah, was a free woman. The Bible also testifies that we, like Isaac, are the children of promise, the children of the heavenly Mother, who is free.
In today’s world, there are three types of people: those who are like Eliezer, those like Ishmael, and those who are like Isaac. The first type of people, who are like Eliezer, are atheists, who do not believe in Father God or in Mother God. The second type of people, who are like Ishmael, are those who believe in Father God, but do not believe in Mother God. The third type of people, who are like Isaac, are those who believe in Mother God as well as Father God. According to the history of Abraham’s family, which one of these three types can become an heir of the kingdom of heaven? Only the third type of people, who are like Isaac, can be recognized as God’s heirs. There is no doubt about it.
Which group of people do you want to be classified with? If you want to be like Isaac, you must first become a child of the free woman. Thus, you must accept the heavenly Mother, who is free. The Bible testifies to this fact.
God said, "My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge" (Hos. 4:6). What kind of knowledge is God referring to in this verse? We must recognize that we have a God the Mother, as well as a God the Father. We must accept Elohim God. Also, we must firmly believe that God is our Mother, who gives us salvation alongside our Father. Only after we come to realize this can we say that we have the knowledge of God, and that we will not be those who are destroyed from a "lack of knowledge."
The Bible testifies that the Holy Spirit is God Ahnsahnghong, and that the Bride is Jerusalem Mother. Let us accept God Ahnsahnghong, the Holy Spirit, and Jerusalem Mother, the Bride, who give us the water of life in these last days, so that we can enter the kingdom of heaven.

Ahnsahnghong - Isaac, the Heir of Abraham
Isaac, the Heir of Abraham
Then, let us find out who was appointed as Abraham’s heir. There were three candidates who could have been chosen as the heir of Abraham: Eliezer, Ishmael, and Isaac. Among them, who became Abraham’s heir? It was Isaac who was appointed. We need to understand the reason why Isaac was chosen to be Abraham’s heir.

Among them, who became Abraham’s heir? It was Isaac who was appointed. We need to understand the reason why Isaac was chosen to be Abraham’s heir.
Gen. 15:1-4 『...But Abram said, "O Sovereign LORD, what can you give me since I remain childless and the one who will inherit my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?" And Abram said, "You have given me no children; so a servant in my household will be my heir." Then the word of the LORD came to him: "This man will not be your heir, but a son coming from your own body will be your heir."』
When Abraham was an old man and had not yet borne a son, he asked God to allow his servant Eliezer to be his heir. However, God did not allow Eliezer to become Abraham’s heir, revealing that a son would be born from Abraham’s own body and that he would become his heir. Some time later, Hagar, Sarah’s maidservant, bore Abraham a son: Ishmael.
Gen. 16:1-15 『Now Sarai, Abram's wife, had borne him no children. But she had an Egyptian maidservant named Hagar; so she said to Abram, "The LORD has kept me from having children. Go, sleep with my maidservant; perhaps I can build a family through her." Abram agreed to what Sarai said...So Hagar bore Abram a son, and Abram gave the name Ishmael to the son she had borne.』Ishmael was born to Abraham through a maidservant named Hagar, and Abraham asked God to allow Ishmael to become his heir.
Gen. 17:18-19 『And Abraham said to God, "If only Ishmael might live under your blessing!" Then God said, "Yes, but your wife Sarah will bear you a son, and you will call him Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him.』 When Abraham said to God, "If only Ishmael might live under your blessing," God did not allow Ishmael to become his heir. Instead, God promised Abraham that he would have a son through his wife, Sarah. Isaac was born as God had promised, and of the three—Eliezer, Ishmael, and Isaac—Isaac was chosen to be Abraham’s heir.

First of all, we need to recognize who the character Abraham represents in the Bible.
Luke 16:19-31 『"...The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried. In hell, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. So he calledto him, 'Father Abraham...' "』
As you know, this parable is about a beggar, named Lazarus, and a rich man. The parable tells of Lazarus, who died and was carried to heaven, and a rich man, who was sent to hell to be tormented. Lazarus was obviously carried to God's side after he had died; however, the Bible states that Lazarus traveled to Abraham's side. In the parable, the rich man, who went to hell, called up to God in the distance; however, the Bible states that the man saw Abraham, and called up to him, saying, "Father Abraham." Who is the only one who is worthy to be called "Father" in the spiritual world? God is the only one who can be called upon in this way.
Then, whom does Abraham represent? Logically, the character Abraham was chosen to represent God. Therefore, the inheritance of Abraham can be likened to the inheritance of God, the kingdom of heaven.

God the Mother - Ahnsahnghong
Bible Proves There's A Heavenly Mother Everything in this world is a copy and shadow of what is in Heaven:
Heb 8:5 "They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven."
Anything that is in this world, also exists in the Kingdom of Heaven. That is why through everything that God made, we can see and understand a little more about the Kingdom of Heaven. The most important system God made is the family system. Where there is a Father and Children, there is also a Mother.
Rom 1:20 For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.
Through everything that God made, we can clearly see God's divine nature, though invisible. If you notice, everything in this world that has life, has a Father and Mother. Just like our bodies have Father and Mother, also our spirits have Father and Mother, which happen to be Mighty God.
Hebrews 12:9 Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of our spirits and live!Our spirits also have a Father! Who?? Everyone knows God is our Father in heaven. Just like our body, also our spirit has a Father. However, our body was not created only with our fathers, also we need our mothers. Actually, it is only through our mother that our bodies can be born. Same with our spirits! We also have a Heavenly Mother and only through Her, our spirit can have life.
Gal 4:26 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.
Why did Jesus teach us to call God "Father"? We could just call God "God" or "Lord", like the OT times. Or we could call God, "Supreme Being" or "King" or something else! Actually, the title "Father" not only lets us realize we are the Heavenly Children, but it also implies there is a Mother. The bible testifies to this fact! Heavenly Jerusalem is Our Mother that has come to this earth, just like Jesus 2,000yrs ago and Christ Ahnsahnghong in this age of the Holy Spirit! She is all over the Bible! Mother is everything.
We believe in God the Mother!
