* Christ Ahnsahnghong established true Sabbath day *

Christ Ahnsahnghong established true Sabbath day 
(Ahnsahnghong/Sabbath day/Church of God)


I am so excited as I am getting ready to go to my first Sabbath day service. I cannot wait until tomorrow for this great day on which I can receive blessings, rest and be made holy. 


Now that I know the true sabbath day according to the bible is saturday I will make every effort to go every saturday.


This day is so amazing because right after creation God rested, blessed, and made the 7th day holy.


Genesis
2:1-3 If you think about it, does God almighty who created the heavens and the earth need rest? No, does God need to be blessed? No, does God need to be made Holy? No. I know I need these things, God made this for us. Since the creation God has set aside a specific day for us to receive rest, blessing, and be made holy. This sounds very important.


Exodus
20:8-11 It is so important that is part of the 10 commandments. If you believe would you follow these 10 commandments. According to the 10 commandments the 7th day is a Sabbath to the Lord our God. Sabbath – a day of rest and worship. We know the the 7th day is the day of rest but how can we determine what is the 7th day.
Let us look at a calendar which we use in our daily life.  By looking at the calendar we know that Sunday is the first day of the week and saturday is the 7th day of the week. To confirm even more let us go to another source. The Dictionary.
Using the Merriam-Webster Dictionary Sunday: First day of the week Saturday: Seventh Day of the week. Dictionary is a very reliable source would you deny definitions? But all of these are man-made, I want to know what is the 7th day of the week according to God. As we we know many Christians celebrate easter which also known as Easter: a feast that commemorates Christ’s resurrection and is observed with variations of date due to different calendars on the first Sunday after the paschal full moon. As we know easter always falls on a sunday which represents resurrection of Christ. So let us see according to the bible what day did Jesus ressurect.
Mark
16:9 Jesus rose on first day of the week, which is sunday. NLT: 9 After Jesus rose from the dead early on Sunday morning. We can see through the bible that sunday is the first day of the week but lets confirm.
Mark 
16:1-2 When the Sabbath (saturday) was over, very early on the first day (sunday) of the week. We can see through the bible that Saturday is the 7th day of the week. That is why Church of God World Mission Society keep the Sabbath on the true worship day Saturday. It is so important for us to keep the day according to God not ourselves because we all sinners.



Sabbath day is a sign between us and God Exodus 31:13 this will be a sign for generations to come so we should keep the Sabbath for we can have a sign between us and God. 


I am so excited that I will be keeping my first Sabbath in Church of God.

Sabbath Day

Sabbath Day 
(Sabbath/Church of God/God the Mother/Heavenly Mother)

* World Mission Society Church of God keep the Sabbath Day *

In this post I would like to discuss the misunderstandings people have about the Sabbath Day. 


There is several arguments people make to excuse why they do not keep the Sabbath as God commanded, let us see what they are:


* The Sabbath Day was made at the creation of the world, meaning that it was created for all of humanity.
 God made it for everyone even before the law was given to Moses. 


*The Fact that Sunday service cannot be based on the Bible, then it automatically it makes it a rule made by man, and is adding to the teachings of Bible. 


*As seen in the Books on the Video, even the Catholic priests admit that Sunday service is not based in the Bible. So what is the excuse of Bible based Christians for not keeping the Sabbath day? 


*When God says He is the first and the last, He is no talking about the days of the week. please do not add your own interpretation to the Bible. 


*“One day out of the seven–that is the way we take our Sabbath rest.” Some people use this excuse to disobey God and not keep the Sabbath. 
But the Sabbath day is not YOUR Sabbath, God said is His Sabbath, and He designated the seventh day of the week as the Sabbath. 


You cannot just pick any day of the week and make it a Sabbath. 


Ezekiel 20:20 – Keep my Sabbaths holy, that they may be a sign between us. Then you will know that I am the LORD your God.


If God does not care about what day we worship Him; then why would He bother to set a day aside at the creation of the world, 
and why would He bother to put it in the 10 commandments?
Ezekiel 22:26 — Her priests do violence to my law and profane my holy things; they do not distinguish between the holy and the common; they teach that there is no difference between the unclean and the clean; and they shut their eyes to the keeping of my Sabbaths, so that I am profaned among them.


Because Jesus Resurrected on a Sunday it does not mean that the day of worship changed to Sunday. 


This excuse is like saying that since I was born on a Tuesday, every Tuesday is my birthday. Resurrection Day is one Sunday a year, The Seventh day Sabbath is every week. 
They are two different celebrations.


Service on Sunday cannot be proven to be approved by God through the Bible, however Christians have misused some bible verses to try to prove Sunday service is OK in the eyes of God.

Christ Ahnsahnghong Surely Is God

Christ Ahnsahnghong Surely Is God 
(Heavenly Mother/God the Mother/Ahnsahnghong)


I believes in Heavenly Mother and Heavenly Father Christ Ahnsahnghong.
The Bible also testifies about the Second Coming Jesus.
Christ Ahnsahnghong is - that He is God, the 2nd Coming Christ!


Ever since I learned about the Passover I’ve been so happy and excited. Think about it… I have received Gods flesh and blood; I have become a true child of God.


And of course now that I know this precious truth I want everyone to know also, so of course I told my relatives about it because I want them to receive Eternal Life.


‘What? Are you crazy? You don’t have to do that, just believe and have faith and you will be saved’.


 It was shown to me the verse written in the book of Romans 10:9 “that if you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.”


And another that goes, Romans 5:1 “…since we have been justified by faith…”


Are you serious? Justified thru faith only and not keeping the Passover? Doubts started rising in my mind. 


But of course at the Church of God World Mission Society they taught me thru the Bible what is Faith in God’s point of view not mens.
According to that verse we are SAVED and JUSTIFIED thru faith. 


What about Romans 5:9? “Since we have now been JUSTIFIED by his blood…”
Justified-> By Faith
Justified->thru his blood


Then what is Faith? Christ’s blood. And how can you receive his blood? Luke 22:20 “…this cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.”lt so bad, I doubted Gods words.


 Faith means action and the action is to partake in The Passover. God taught me a lesson, James 2:17 “in the same way, faith by itself, if is not accompanied by action, is dead”. I want to keep until the end.


Thanks to Christ AhnSanhngHong for bringing us the Passover back. He has to be God because only Almighty God will give us Eternal Life and he did by bringing it back.


Christ Ahnsahnhong is the Second Coming Jesus, who has brought salvation to us through the Passover, according to the prophecies of the Bible.


 Let's believe in Christ Ahnsahnghong, and we will have eternal life and go to heaven




GOD BLESS YOU!

[World Mission Society Church of God] Trinity

[World Mission Society Church of God] Trinity 
(Trinity/Church of God/Second Coming Christ/Ahnsahnghong)

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


Through the prophecy of the Bible, let’s confirm that Christ Ahnsahnghong, who came as the Savior in the age of the Holy Spirit, is truly the Second Coming Christ.


The concept of "Trinity" means that God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are not different entities, but are one God. The Trinity-God the Father [Jehovah], God the Son [Jesus], and God the Holy Spirit [Ahnsahnghong]-are one. In order to understand why the members of the Church of God believe in Christ Ahnsahnghong as the Holy Spirit, please study the truths of "the Second Coming Christ." 


To better understand the Trinity, let’s first consider the transformation of water.


 Water is a liquid, but when its temperature falls below 0° C, the water will turn into ice, a solid. When the water is boiled, it turns into vapor, a gas. Water, ice, and vapor have different names and different forms, but their substance is the same: H₂O. 


It is similar to when an actor in a monodrama plays three different characters-a father, a son, and a grandson-all having different voices. Although there are three different voices and three different roles, there is only one actor. 


Like this, even though God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit may look different, have different names, and have appeared during different ages, the three are one God. 


The Trinity reveals that God administrates His salvation work while playing three roles. 
For six thousand years God has carried out His salvation work in the names of Jehovah, Jesus, and Ahnsahnghong, each according to its age. 


God the Father, Jehovah = God the Son, Jesus


Let’s confirm that God the Father, Jehovah, and God the Son, Jesus, are one God. 
Isaiah prophesied about Jesus as follows: 


  Isa. 9:6 『For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government 
  will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty 
  God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.』


Jesus is referred to as the "Son," but the Bible revealed that the son would be called "Mighty God," and "Everlasting Father." Apostle Paul clearly understood that Jesus’ nature was that of God the Father, as follows: 


  Phil. 2:5-7 『Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, 
  being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be 
  grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being 
  made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man...』


  Rom. 9:5 『...Christ, who is God over all, forever praised! Amen.』


We can also confirm that God the Father, Jehovah, and God the Son, Jesus, are one God by studying the history of the Creation. 


  Isa. 44:24 『I am the LORD, who has made all things, who alone stretched 
  out the heavens, who spread out the earth by myself...』


God the Father-Jehovah-said that He had created everything by Himself, but Jesus said that it was He who had created the world. 


  Col. 1:16 『For by him [Jesus] all things were created...』


The Bible states that God the Father, Jehovah, created the world, but it also says that God the Son, Jesus, created the world. Therefore, God the Father [Jehovah] and God the Son [Jesus] are clearly one God. 


  Isa. 44:6 『"This is what the LORD says-Israel's King and Redeemer, the LORD Almighty: I am the first and I am the last...』


God the Father said, "I am the first and I am the last." 


  Rev. 22:13 『"I [Jesus] am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End."』


God the Son also said, "I am the First and the Last." Therefore, God the Father, Jehovah, and God the Son, Jesus, are one God. 


God the Father, Jehovah = God the Holy Spirit, Ahnsahnghong


Let’s confirm that God the Father, Jehovah, and God the Holy Spirit are one God. In the Bible, there are frequent references to "the (Holy) Spirit." 


The Bible teaches us that God is spirit, and that God is holy. Thus, the spirit of God is holy, too. We call the spirit of God "the Holy Spirit." 


  John 4:24 『God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in 
  truth.』


Apostle Paul wrote-in the book of Corinthians-that God is the Holy Spirit. 


  1 Cor. 2:10-11 『...but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit. The Spirit 
  searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who among men knows 
  the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 』 


The (Holy) Spirit could search even the deep things of God (the Father), the things which no one could know. If "the Holy Spirit" and "the spirit of God" were different, how could the Holy Spirit possibly know the thoughts of God? Only the spirit of God-the Holy Spirit-knows the thoughts of God.
 Therefore, God the Father and the Holy Spirit are one. 


  2 Tim. 3:16 『All Scripture is God-breathed...』 


  2 Pet. 1:20-21 『Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of
  Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation. For prophecy never 
  had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were 
  carried along by the Holy Spirit. 』


The Bible is "God-breathed" and it was written by the prophets, "as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit." This clearly testifies that God the Father, Jehovah, is the Holy Spirit. 


The Bible = God-breathed book The Bible = A book written by prophets being carried along by the Holy Spirit Therefore the Holy Spirit is God.


Therefore, the Holy Spirit, Ahnsahnghong, and God the Father, Jehovah, are one God.


God the Son, Jesus = God the Holy Spirit, Ahnsahnghong
Let’s confirm that God the Son, Jesus, and God the Holy Spirit, Ahnsahnghong, are one God. 


  Isa. 9:6 『...a son ...will be called Wonderful Counselor... 』


  John 14:26 『"But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send 
  in my name, will teach you all things..."』


The Son is the Counselor, and the Counselor is the Holy Spirit, so we can easily conclude that the Son, Jesus, is the Holy Spirit. 


Therefore, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are not separate, but are one. God the Father-Jehovah, God the Son-Jesus, and God the Holy Spirit-Ahnsahnghong, are one God. 


The Holy Spirit Is a Personal Being


The Holy Spirit is not a kind of energy or an electric wave. The Holy Spirit is a personal being who has feelings (Rom. 15:30), who grieves (Eph. 4:30), who speaks (Rev. 2:7), who groans (Rom. 8:26), who intercedes (Rom. 8:26), who testifies about God (John 15:26), who teaches (John 14:26), who gives commands (Rom. 8:29), who keeps us from preaching in certain places (Acts 16:6-7), who thinks (Rom. 8:27), and who has been blasphemed (Matt. 12: 31-32). 


  John 14:26, NASB 『"But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will 
  send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance 
  all that I said to you.』


The Holy Spirit is referred to as "He," meaning that the Holy Spirit is a personal being. 


  Matt. 28:19 『"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,"』


If the Holy Spirit was not a man with character, but merely an invisible, active power-like an electric wave, or energy-how would it be possible for the Holy Spirit to have a name? 


The fact that the Holy Spirit has a name proves that the Holy Spirit is a man, with character. 


God commanded us to be baptized in the name of the Father, the name of the Son, and the name of the Holy Spirit, because He would administrate His salvation work with three names (of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit) according to each age. By calling out the three names through which God showed His authority, God’s prophets are to baptize people and commemorate God. 


God’s name was "Jehovah" when He played the role of the Father, and it was "Jesus" when He worked as the Son. Then, how should we call upon God when He is working as the Holy Spirit? The name of the Holy Spirit is Ahnsahnghong. 


Since God told us to "baptize (people) in the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit," we need to understand that the "Trinity"-God the Father [Jehovah], God the Son [Jesus], and God the Holy Spirit [Ahnsahnghong]-are one God. By this understanding we can receive abundant blessing and we can participate in God’s administration of salvation, which has been carried out through the Trinity.

Proclaim the Glory of Jerusalem to the World

Proclaim the Glory of Jerusalem to the World 
(Heavenly Mother/God the Mother/Jerusalem Mother)


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


Every single prophecy in the Bible has been fulfilled in human history without fail, and is still being fulfilled today. 
Some prophecies, which still remain unfulfilled, will surely be fulfilled soon according to the providence of God.




Now, we have the most important prophecy of the Bible before us. God said that the glory of Jerusalem would be proclaimed to all the nations of the world. Even though there is a prophecy, unless we ask God and make an effort to fulfill the prophecy, it will be delayed in its fulfillment and we will not share in the glory which is prophesied. As the soldiers of the heavenly army in Zion, we should keep in step with the prophecy and proclaim the glory of Jerusalem to the whole world.


Jerusalem will be a praise in the earth


The prophet Isaiah prophesied about Jerusalem who would be the praise and glory of the earth as follows.




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




Isa 66:10-14 "Rejoice with Jerusalem and be glad for her, all you who love her; ... For you will nurse and be satisfied at her comforting breasts; you will drink deeply and delight in her overflowing abundance." For this is what the LORD says: "I will extend peace to her like a river, and the wealth of nations like a flooding stream; you will nurse and be carried on her arm and dandled on her knees. 
As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you; and you will be comforted over Jerusalem." When you see this, your heart will rejoice and you will flourish like grass; ..."




The prophecy about Jerusalem is mentioned many times in the book of Isaiah. The Bible says that it is God's will for Jerusalem to be praised by all the nations of the world and that we, all the children of God, will be comforted and glad in Jerusalem.




Who is Jerusalem that she will be praised and honored by all the nations of the world? 
As it is generally known, Jerusalem is a specific place located in the Middle East. 


How can a mere city called Jerusalem be established by God Himself and praised and honored by all the nations of the earth? 
How can we be carried and comforted in the arms of Jerusalem if it indicates a physical place?




Taking the prophecies literally will only increase doubts. As the Bible says, "... expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words" (1 Cor 2:13), we need to find out what the spiritual Jerusalem, not the earthly one, means in the Bible.




The heavenly Jerusalem is our Mother




The Bible mentions not only the earthly Jerusalem but also the heavenly Jerusalem. 
Now, let's find out what God wants to show us through Jerusalem. 




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




It is written that the Jerusalem that is above is our mother. The Bible personifies Jerusalem on earth to show us its reality, the heavenly Jerusalem our Mother. 


It says in the Bible that we will be comforted in Jerusalem and satisfied at her comforting breasts. 


This shows that we, children of Jerusalem, will grow up spiritually, being comforted by our heavenly Mother, like a child who is dandled on his mother's knees and in her arms.




The Bible prophesies that Jerusalem will be praised and glorified in the earth. This prophecy does not refer to the earthly Jerusalem located in the Middle East. 


As spiritual watchmen, we should proclaim the glory of God to all the nations and clearly testify that it is God's firm will for Jerusalem our Mother to be praised in the earth.




Until the prophecy is completely fulfilled, we must continually pray to God that the day will come soon when the glory of Jerusalem our Mother will be proclaimed throughout the whole world. 


The gospel work will be finished when Mother is proclaimed and revealed throughout all the nations of the world.




The Bible continues to explain: 




Gal 4:27-31 "For it is written: "Be glad, O barren woman, who bears no children; break forth and cry aloud, you who have no labor pains; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband." Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise. 


At that time the son born in the ordinary way persecuted the son born by the power of the Spirit. It is the same now. 


But what does the Scripture say? "Get rid of the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman's son will never share in the inheritance with the free woman's son." 


Therefore, brothers, we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman."




We are children of the free woman, our Mother, and also children of promise.


 What God promised us is eternal life (1 John 2:25). So, children of promise can be called children of eternal life. 
As we are children of Mother, we become children of promise who can receive eternal life and inherit the kingdom of heaven.




Children of promise like Isaac




Isaac was born to Abraham by his wife Sarah, and he became Abraham's heir. 
Sarah, the wife of Abraham, represents our heavenly Mother. That's why the Bible calls us "children of promise like Isaac."




Abraham, the forefather of faith, represents God the Father. Let's find out what the relationship between Abraham and God is, through the parable of the rich man and Lazarus spoken by Jesus.




Luke 16:19-31 "There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day. At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores and longing to eat what fell from the rich man's table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores. 


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 called to him, 'Father Abraham, have pity on me ...' "




In the parable, when Lazarus and the rich man died, Lazarus was carried to Abraham's side and the rich man went to hell and was in torment.


 Strangely enough, the rich man in hell called to Abraham in heaven, "Father Abraham, ..." It is only God who can be called Father in the spiritual world. In other words, Abraham represents God.




The history of Abraham's family is described in various places throughout the book of Genesis in the Holy Bible. 
In Abraham's family, the matter of an heir was mentioned many times, and finally Isaac, whom Sarah bore, became the heir of Abraham. 
It was Sarah, Isaac's mother, that had a crucial role in deciding the heir.




Why do many verses in the Bible specifically describe an individual's family history? 
There is a certain reason for this. 


The history of Abraham's family shows us that Jerusalem our Mother has a decisive role in qualifying us as God's heirs to inherit His kingdom.




Abraham's family and Mother




Gen 15:1-5 "After this, the word of the LORD came to Abram (the original name of Abraham) in a vision: "Do not be afraid, Abram.
 I am your shield, your very great reward." 
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 85 years old, he still had no son. So, he wanted to make Eliezer, a servant in his household, his heir to inherit his estate. However, God said that Eliezer was not suitable to be Abraham's heir and that a son coming from his own body would be his heir.




Gen 16:1-6, 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. ... Hagar, and she conceived. 


When she knew she was pregnant, she began to despise her mistress. ... So Hagar bore Abram a son, and Abram gave the name Ishmael to the son she had borne. 
Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore him Ishmael."




Abraham's wife Sarah gave her maidservant Hagar to her husband as his concubine. When Hagar conceived, she began to despise her mistress Sarah. 


Since Sarah bore no children, she was despised by her maidservant. Afterward, she continued to suffer mental distress and anguish for about 14 years until Isaac was born.




When Hagar bore Ishmael to Abraham, he seemed to have an heir. However, God said to Abraham, "A son coming from your own body will be your heir."


 It was not God's will for Ishmael to be Abraham's heir. God wanted a son, who would be born to Abra-ham by Sarah his wife-the free woman, to become Abraham's heir.




Gen 17:1-7, 15-19 "When Abram was ninety-nine years old, ... God also said to Abraham, "As for Sarai your wife, you are no longer to call her Sarai; her name will be Sarah. 


I will bless her and will surely give you a son by her. I will bless her so that she will be the mother of nations; kings of peoples will come from her." 


Abraham fell facedown; he laughed and said to himself, "Will a son be born to a man a hundred years old? 


Will Sarah bear a child at the age of ninety?" 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."




Abraham assumed that Ishmael would be his heir. However, God said that He would establish His covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah would bear to him. 
God didn't allow Eliezer to be Abraham's heir for the reason that he was not his own son. 
Even though Ishmael was Abraham's son, God rejected him as his heir because he was born by the slave woman.


 God acknowledged only Isaac who would be born through Sarah.




As God had promised, one year later Sarah bore a son, Isaac, who became Abra-ham's heir through his mother, Sarah (Gen 21:1-12).




The heavenly inheritance is given through Mother




The history of Abraham's family shows through whom we can become God's chil-dren and inherit the kingdom of God. 


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




Those who do not know Jerusalem our Mother can never become children of promise like Isaac. God said, "A son coming from your own body will be your heir." Ishmael was the first begotten son of Abraham, who was 14 years older than Isaac.


 Nevertheless, why didn't God accept Ishmael as Abraham's heir? Ishmael represents those who know God only as Father. However, the Bible clearly shows that there is God the Mother as well.




God has determined not to give the heavenly inheritance to those who have no part with Him. He doesn't accept the people, who believe in God the Father but do not believe in God the Mother, as His heirs. It is Mother who holds the final key. 


Everything on this earth is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. If we think about why God lets the physical life be given through a mother, we can understand what the divine will is.




Surely there is a reason why God establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of the earth. The history of Abraham's family shows how much Mother has suffered until She is glorified. However, it expresses just a little bit of Her suffering. Until we've received eternal life promised by God, there's been the great sacrifice of Mother, who has suffered so much for 6,000 years in order to lead Her children to heaven. 


Mother grants us, Her children, eternal life through Her invisible, inexpressible pains. That's why God does not rest until He makes Mother the praise of the earth. The Bible describes the scene that God's children, who have received Jerusalem Mother, nurse and are satisfied at Her comforting breasts, delighting in Her overflowing abundance, like a child.




Heavenly Mother whom the Bible testifies about




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




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




When God created man in His own image, male and female were created in the image of God. 


This suggests that there are two images of God: male and female. That's why God said when creating man, 
"Let us make man ...," instead of saying, "I will make man..."




Even before the creation of the world, both images of God already existed: the male image of God and the female image of God. 


Therefore, those who have received only God the Father cannot be God's heirs. 
Although they live together in Abraham's family and call him Lord or Father, they cannot inherit his estate, just as Eliezer and Ishmael, who were not children of Sarah, didn't inherit Abraham's property.




If we just call out to God without knowing Him correctly, we cannot communicate with God. We can worship God rightly when we know Him. 


Keeping the will of God in mind, we should quickly proclaim Jerusalem our Mother, who is life, to all the nations of the world. As the eternal kingdom of God is close at hand, we will bear more good fruit if we fully proclaim the glory of Jerusalem our Mother. God's prophecy must surely be fulfilled if we believe in it and put it into practice.




Proclaim the glory of the new Jerusalem to the whole world




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




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




We all experienced the work of the Holy Spirit during the Preaching Festival of the Feast of Tabernacles. The number of the souls we found during the week of the Preaching Festival is almost the same as the number of the souls whom we had found for a year.


 How can we say it's the work of men? Since we all became one with filial piety toward Jerusalem our Mother, the gracious work of the Holy Spirit occurred, like a good son in an ancient Korean story who moved heaven and was able to find strawberries for his old mother in the middle of the winter.




Now, through the fire of the Holy Spirit, let's proclaim the glory of Jerusalem our Mother to the whole world. 


Then the people of all nations will come together to see the glory of God, and when each of them returns he will proclaim God's glory in his country (Isa 66:18-19). How amazing!




It is our mission to proclaim the glory of Jerusalem throughout the whole world. 


When Gideon's army of 300 soldiers broke the jars, held the torches hidden in them and shouted, "For the LORD!" they were able to defeat 135,000 men and won a great victory. Likewise, when we shout out the glory of Jerusalem, a marvelous work will occur. Now is the time for us to break the jars and hold the torches high. Let's shout altogether, lifting up the torches.


 Let us all arise and shine the light of the gospel to the whole world. Looking forward to the day when God's glory will be shone brightly all over the world, let us diligently proclaim the light of the glory of the new Jerusalem to the whole world. 

Heavenly family and earthly family

Heavenly family and earthly family
(God the Mother/Heavenly Mother/passover) 

Church of God Believes in the New Jerusalem Mother




God(Christ Ahsahnghong) said that there is our God the Mother(Heavenly Mother) in heaven. 

Let’s find out about Heavenly Jerusalem Mother ( God the Mother )through the Bible in World Mission Soceity Church of God.


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


All of the earthly systems are a copy and a shadow of what is in heaven. The family system is the same. 


Christ Ahnsahnghong revealed to us the existence of the heavenly Mother by teaching us about the heavenly family system through the earthly family system. 


Everything within the spiritual world is reflected on this earth.


 In other words, everything on the earth is a shadow, and the things in heaven are the realities of what is on earth. 


God established the earthly family system to show us that there is also a family system in heaven. 


The reason why God made every family on the earth has a father, a mother, and children was to reveal that in heaven, as well, there is a Father, a Mother, and children. 


God's providence is to let us know that there exists a God the Mother in heaven, as well as a God the Father. 


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


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


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


Jesus said that the Father's house surely exists. As of now, the house has been prepared. 


Then, who will be the members of this house? The family system described in the Bible is paternalistic. 


As you can see through your physical family, the first, main member of the house is the father. 


Therefore, if there is a father in the families on the earth, there must also be a Father in heaven. 




Heavenly Father Ahnsahnghong


Let us find out if we have a Father in heaven. 


  Heb. 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!』


The God in heaven is our God the Father. Just as we have a physical father on this earth, we have a spiritual Father in heaven. He is God the Father, Ahnsahnghong. 




Children of Heavenly Father Ahnsahnghong
Who comes to mind next when we think of a family? Most people will think of a "mother." But before we consider "mother," we have to think about what kind of person can be called a "father." No one can be called "father" unless he has a child. No mater how old a man is, if he has had no children, who would call him "father"? The title "father" is only used by children. 


Therefore, a family must have children. Let us find out if our heavenly Father has children. 


  Matt. 12:46 『While Jesus was still talking to the crowd, his mother and brothers stood  
  outside, wanting to speak to him. Someone told him, "Your mother and brothers are   standing outside, wanting to speak to you." He replied to him, "Who is my mother, and 
  who are my brothers?" Pointing to his disciples, he said, "Here are my mother and my   brothers. For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and  mother."』




Here, we can find the words "brothers" and "sisters." Just as we have physical brothers and sisters, we have spiritual brothers and sisters.


 God's children, who call upon the God in heaven as "Father," must follow the will of the heavenly Father. In the Church of God, the children of the heavenly Father keep the Sabbath, the Passover, 
and all of the other truths, according to the will of the Father in heaven. The Church of God follows the teachings of Christ Ahnsahnghong, and we are brothers and sisters. 




Heavenly Mother Jerusalem
We have studied that there exist a God the Father, and His children, in the heavenly family. Then, who is left? It's Mother. 


  Gal. 4:25-26 『Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the 
  present city of Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children. But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.』


In this verse we can find the words "our mother." "Our" refers to the children who believe in God. This verse reveals that there exists a heavenly Mother to the children who will be saved. 


So far, we've studied about which members compose a family, and we have confirmed that we have a spiritual family in heaven. 


Just as we have fathers, brothers, sisters, and mothers in our physical families, we have our spiritual Father, brothers, sisters, and spiritual Mother in our spiritual family. 


The Family Must Be Connected by Blood
What connects a family together? It's blood. Just as physical children inherit their father and mother's flesh and blood, the spiritual children inherit the spiritual Father and Mother's flesh and blood. If the physical family is connected by physical blood, then the heavenly family is connected by heavenly blood, because what is on earth is a copy and a shadow of what is in heaven. 




  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 fed his people with His flesh and blood, so the heavenly Father and Mother's blood and flesh are now in us. 


Only God has eternal life. The flesh and blood of God? who gives eternal life?
has been given to us, God's children. Thus, we have become eternal beings and we are able to call upon God, 
"Abba, Father!" 


Right to Become the Children of Father Ahnsahnghong
Then, through what truth can we receive the right to become God's children? How can we inherit the flesh and blood of our heavenly Father? 




  Matt. 26:17-19 『On the first day of the Feast of nleavened 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.』




  Matt. 26:26-28 『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.』




As shown above, the Passover bread is Jesus' body, His flesh, and the Passover wine is Jesus' blood. By eating and drinking the bread and wine of the Passover, we can receive God's flesh and blood and become God's children. 


Christ Ahnsahnghong is the one who brought the Passover in this last age.
 Christ Ahnsahnghong is our spiritual Father who brought us the Passover, which spiritually connects us with God.


 Our spiritual Mother is the true God who gives us birth and brings us up. 
Don't you want to be a member of the spiritual family?



Let us all become God's children, receiving the flesh 


and blood of our heavenly Father Ahnsahnghong 
and our heavenly Mother through the Passover of the new covenant, 


so that we can inherit the kingdom of God.

Children of Heavenly Jerusalem Mother

Children of Heavenly Jerusalem Mother 
(Heavenly Mother/God the Mother/Church of God)


The Bible says that we are “children of promise like Isaac”; 


what condition of faith is required for us to become like Isaac.


 The most important factor that decided the heir of Abraham was Sarah, the mother of Isaac.


 Ishmael was also a son of Abraham, but his mother was a slave. 


God suggested two conditions for being te heir of Abraham. 


The first condition was that he should come from Abraham’s own body, and the second and final condition was that he should come from Sara’s own body.


 God did not acknoledge anyone who did not come the body of Abraham as of Sarah as Abraham’s heir, that is, his first born son.


We have God our Mother, the holy Jerusalem, who is free (Gal.4:26). 


No one can be an heir of God except through God the Mother, only through Her we can receive salvation!
