Child’s Pain - Heavenly Mother


 
I received a call from my child’s school that she hurt her finger.
I got that call during my doctor’s appointment.
As soon as I hung up, I postponed my appointment and frantically ran to her school.
Worrying about my child, I forgot how sick I was.
Before even asking how my child was, I hugged her and cried.
While getting her finger treated, she was in so much pain that she trembled her whole body and grabbed my hand tightly.
It was heart-rending.
I wish I could be hurt instead of her, because it wasn’t easy for me to see my child in pain.
After I was relieved when her treatment was finished, I noticed that my whole body was all in sweat, and my face was covered with tears.
Wiping my trace of tears, I thought of my Heavenly Mother.
When I was in pain, Heavenly Mother must have felt much more pain than the pain that I had to go through.
I earnestly give thanks for Her infinite love.

It was only when some daughter become a mother that she find out how deep her mother's love was.
Likewise, Heavenly mother's love is immesurable as she left her glory of heaven and came this earth for us, her children.  The greatest love is Heavenly Mohter's love in whole universe.

God we have been waiting for — Christ Ahnsahnghong

 
 For everyone, the parents’ blood flows in him. We received life by inheriting the blood of parents. It’s the principle: the Providence of God who saves mankind.
The way to inherit the blood of God dates back to the night of the fourteenth day of the first month in the sacred calendar, 2000 years ago. Jesus, who was God but came in the flesh, directed the disciples to prepare the Passover and kept it together with them. He left a will on the night before He was crucified on the cross and sacrificed Himself on behalf of sinners in order to wash away the sins committed in heaven.
And he [Jesus] said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. (Luke 22:15)
Jesus made a will by eating “something.” That was the Passover bread and wine. Jesus said that the Passover bread becomes His flesh and the Passover wine becomes His blood. He executed what he said earlier: “Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life.”
God promised that those who keep the Passover will be protected from disasters and also have the forgiveness of sins.  In the time of the Old Testament, the Israelites celebrated the Passover by putting the blood of the lambs on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses where they ate the lambs. Now we just need to eat and drink the bread and wine which stands for the flesh and blood of Jesus to keep this feast.
Regrettably, people broke the promise. Moreover, they even reneged on their pledge with God — through the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD.  Since then, no one could have inherited the flesh and blood of God.  The Passover was totally forgotten from people’s minds for over one thousand years. This is why God should come again.
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….  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.” (Isaiah 25:6-9)
The aged wine” means that the wine has not been used for a long time. That is, the Passover had not been celebrated for a long time — for more than 1,600 years. While no one even imagined that we must keep the Passover to become the children of God, it was Christ Ahnsahnghong who taught us the Passover.
Unfortunately, over 1,600 years, people had a wrong recognition that it is heretic to celebrate the Passover. Yet, the truth does not change: we must keep the Passover to have eternal life.
 
Please come to Church of God (witness of Ahnsahnghong) that believes Father Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother, the Spirit and the bride to get the eternal life and the salvation through the Passover the New Covenant.

About the verse “If anyone tells you, ‘There he is’ or ‘Here he is’”, do not believe it” - Christ Ahnsahnghong

Jesus warned that false Christs and false prophets would appear and mislead many people:
At that time if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or, 'There he is!' do not believe it. 24 For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect--if that were possible. 25 See, I have told you ahead of time. 26 "So if anyone tells you, 'There he is, out in the desert,' do not go out; or, 'Here he is, in the inner rooms,' do not believe it. (Matthew 24:23-26)
However, some unfairly use this verse to oppose the Second Coming Christ. If, we literally must not believe it when we are told “Here is the Christ”, where do we have to go? Do we need to go to the place where it says “Here isn’t the Christ and there he isn’t”? Are there any churches which do not say “Here is the Christ”?
Therefore, Jesus did not give us this word with the intent that we must deny Christ when He comes in any cases. As written, it’s clearly about warning people of false Christs.
Then, where can we find the true Christ and not false Christs?
And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: "The deliverer [Savior: GNT] will come from Zion; he will turn godlessness away from Jacob. (Romans 11:26)
It’s prophesied that the Savior would come from Zion. Where is Zion in which the Savior dwells?
Look upon Zion, the city of our festivals … There the LORD will be our Mighty One… For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; it is he who will save us. (Isaiah 33:20-22)
Zion where the Savior dwells is the place where we celebrate the feasts of God. God’s feasts include a weekly feast of the Sabbath and seven annual feasts of the Passover, the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Day of Firstfruits, the Pentecost, the Feast of Trumpets, the Day of Atonement and the Feast of Tabernacles. The place where people celebrate such feasts as written in the Bible is “Zion.”
However, the place where people do not observe the feasts of God while saying “Here is the Christ” is the one where they believe in ‘false Christs’ or ‘another Jesus (2 Corinthians 11:4).’ The Bible prophesies as follows about the appearance of Christ who gives us the water of life:
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. (Revelation 22:17)
You can meet the Sprit and the bride who give us the water life only in Zion.
 
Church of God (Witness of Ahnsahnghong) believes Ahnsahnghong as our Savior in the age of the Holy Spirit with the belief in Heavenly Mother.  According to the Bible, God the Father and God the Mother who are the Spirit and the bride are to give us the water of life in this last age of the Holy Spirit.  In order to receive the water of life in this age, we should come toward God the Father and God the Mother.

Blessing for the righteous who show their faith by deeds

As the ancients show their faith by deeds, if we follow them, we receive blessings from God, that is, eternal life. Hoping for heaven, we follow the Spirit and the Bride who are our saviors in this age.

Blessing for the righteous who show their faith by deeds
 Those who put their faith into action were all blessed. In this age, we are also blessed and called righteous when we serve God by preaching His words and keeping the new covenant regulations for the seven feasts at the three times in a year. That is God's providence and will. So the Bible says that a person is justified by what he does and not by faith alone.
 When God told Noah to prepare an ark, if he had not obeyed God's word even though he believed it was right to do so, would God have called him a righteous and perfect man?
 Noah did a thing that was really hard to obey in those days. The Bible doesn't tell us how long it took Noah to build the ark, but most Biblical scholars agree that it took so many years to build the ark. To build it must have cost him a great deal of money and labor, including expenses for purchasing materials and workers' wages. With undeveloped technology in those times, it must have been a handiwork requiring over a hundred people; they must have worked unceasingly day and night. Thus, Noah spent a great deal of time and money on the ark. He devoted his whole life to building the ark.
 Besides that, people had never seen rain up until that time. They laughed and made fun of Noah and his family all those years. However, Noah just followed God's word and continued to build the ark. By doing that, he was called a righteous man, blameless in his generations.
 Abraham, the father of faith, also proved his faith by his deeds. He absolutely obeyed God's command to offer his only son Isaac as a burnt offering. The command to sacrifice Isaac would be a very difficult one for Abraham to obey. It would be easier for him to give up his wealth or power. Abraham loved his son Isaac more than his own self. It must have been hard and painful for him to offer Isaac as a sacrifice.
 When God ordered Abraham to offer up his son, he might have questioned God's command. However, he obeyed God without arguing or complaining. He was willing to sacrifice his son Isaac, thinking that God gave him Isaac and He had the right to take his life. How greatly God would be pleased when He saw Abraham's faith and obedience! Abraham was called the father of faith and received God's overflowing blessing.
 Everyone has his own values. To Abraham his son was the most valuable treasure in the world, and to Noah his possessions. God sometimes requires of each person what is the most important thing to him. This is not because He hates him but because He wants to give a greater blessing to him.
 Comparing the faith and works of the righteous Noah and Abraham with ours, we need to check whether or not we have deeds along with faith. In this age, an act of faith that pleases God most is to save souls, sacrificing the most precious thing we have.
 Hoping for heaven, we follow the Spirit and the Bride and we firmly believe that all of our heavenly brothers and sisters scattered across the earth will quickly come to Zion. With the act of faith by which we become righteous before God, we are now proclaiming the truth, throwing out the life line, to save poor dying souls. We are building Zion the ark of salvation around the world and leading many souls into the ark. Seeing brothers and sisters participating in the gospel as God prophesied, we feel that we gradually become righteous by acts, like Noah and Abraham.
 We should let go of all our own ideas and learn the obedience of faith that Noah showed, so that we may all become the righteous people, the 144,000, in these last days.

Who Are the Righteous?

Elohim God[The Spirit and the Bride] let us know who we are. We are destined to die because of heavenly sins. Therefore we should obey the words of God according to the bible for going back to kingdom of heaven.

Who Are the Righteous? Innumerable people around the world claim to believe in God. However, God says that there is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who does good, not even one.

 Ro 3:10-12 "As it is written: "There is no one righteous, not even one; there is ... no one who seeks God. ... there is no one who does good, not even one."

 Who is a righteous one whom God approves? The Bible says that there is no one who seeks God and comes near to Him except the righteous.
 Adam, the ancestor of mankind, sought God and came near to Him before he sinned. But after he committed sin by eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, he hid himself from God when He called him, "Adam, Adam!" rather than came to Him, saying, "Yes, here am I." From that moment he sinned, he became afraid of God and shrunk from His presence. Since Adam committed sin, his heart was changed.

A righteous person obeys the word of God
 If we feel alienated from God, we should recognize that we are gradually falling away from righteousness and should turn ourselves to it. Through the account of Noah, let's see how we can become righteous and what we must do to become righteous.

 Ge 6:9 "This is the account of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked with God."

 Let's find out why Noah was called righteous and blameless by God, through his works.

 Heb 11:7-10 "By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family. By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that comes by faith. By faith Abraham, ... he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise. For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God."

 What did Noah, a righteous man, do? He realized God's plan of judging the world in those days, and prepared an ark in obedience to God's command. By faith Noah built the ark, so he was called a righteous man and an heir of righteousness.
 All who were called righteous and forefathers of faith like Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, had absolute faith in God and obeyed whatever God told them to do.
 With absolute faith in God, Noah built the ark to save his family and the world. That was the most righteous thing in God's sight and caused him to be called an heir of righteousness.

 Jas 2:17-26 "In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. ... You foolish man, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless? ... You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did. ... As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead"

 The book of James shows us what is righteousness in God's sight. God considers it a righteous act to fully obey His word, not just to know it.
 We, too, have faith in God: We believe that He will gather the 144,000 and lead the people of the new covenant into the everlasting kingdom. We try to do God's will by fully keeping all His laws and diligently carrying out our ministry of preaching the gospel, loving God with all our heart and with all our soul and with all our mind. When we thus put our faith into action, God calls us 'righteous.' The righteous are those who obey God's word; they are perfect in God's sight.
 Just as Noah and Abraham were called righteous, so the 144,000 are now called righteous. It is because they truly believe God's word and also put it into practice.
 Though a man knows and believes that 'the Sabbath is right,' unless he observes it he cannot be blessed; only by keeping the Sabbath holy, he can receive the blessing God has promised. Likewise, if a man just believes that 'the Passover is right,' how can he receive God's blessing? Only when he celebrates the Passover by eating the bread and drinking the wine, he can receive the blessing of eternal life and the seal of God.

Like a Circle with No Beginning oran End

I watched a scene on TV by chance that aroused my curiosity

An old woman with a patient gown was walking on the alley with an IV injection in her arm.

‘For what reason was this old woman out in a street with a patient gown?’


There was a middle aged woman a few steps ahead, walking in barefoot.

That woman was the daughter of the old woman following her.

The story was:

The daughter, who was beautiful and smart of all woman,started to lose her memory as soon as she became 20 years old. Her intelligence gradually started to go back like a child.

Even though the daughter was hospitalized and was being treated,her condition became worse, so she had to leave the hospital.

Before, the mother couldn't help and had to send her daughter to the hospital. But now she was sorry that she didn't take care of her daughter by herself.

Her 30 year old daughter who has a 3 year old intelligence spends most of her time sleeping, eating while she was awake, and walking on the street in barefoot.Then, the mother will follow the daughter.

Although the old mother was physically ill and exhausted, not knowing when her daughter might wake-up and go out in the streets, she couldn't even go to a hospital.

When she finally made time and went to the hospital, and while being treated getting an IV injection, she heard that her daughter went out. So that was why she was following her daughter while wearing a patient gown.

There was one thing that the mother couldn't miss in her daily work.

That was, sweeping the alley with a broom.

She swept the alley ahead of her daughter, worrying that her daughter might step on a broken glass.


The old woman says,

“Mom’s love is like a circle without a beginning or an end.”..

She was not being able to look after of her unbearable body, but she only watches after her daughter.

The mother was so sorry for the times when she and her daughter were apart from each other.

The mother walked ahead of her daughter to make the daughter’s way smooth.

Mother’s love has no beginning or an end….

The heavenly children, also suffering with the illness of oblivion, are safe inside the Mother’s love like a circle.

Rebel without a Cause

They call it ‘rebel without a cause’ when the teenagers have twisted behavior while they are in puberty.

I was no exception.

My mom had hard times raising four children all alone. Even now my face turns red of thinking of how I rebelled against her.

I talked back at her when things didn’t turn out the way I wanted to be, and even though I knew mom’s heart of saying things because she cared about me, I was just distorted.

While having an argument with my mom, I said things that stabbed her like a dagger.

Out of it all, there’s something that I said which hurt my mom most..


“Mom, what did you do for me anyways?”

If I said this, mom couldn’t say anything but only dropped her face down. So that is why I said it thought lessly.

Thinking of how my mom must have felt, I feel so sorry that I want to crawl under arock.

She loved me before I was born. I wasn’t been able to do anything, and for me she clothed me, fed me, and took care of me all night when I was sick.

Everyday for 365 days; a year, she has gone to so much trouble for me, and those words were too cruel for her.

After receiving the truth, and realizing that I am a sinner who betrayed Heavenly Mother’s love, I recollected my days of puberty.

At that time, I didn’t know why I hurt her and went against my mom, but now I realize.

That image was a partial of me sinning against Heavenly Mother.

I didn’t know how to thank Heavenly Mother who loved me with Her whole heart, and I was a sinner who forgot about Her grace.

Can I also be forgiven?

Though I am a sinner who deserves to die, just because I am her child, I am in debted to her.

I will never again have faith of puberty that will break Mother’s heart.

Thank you Mother. I love you.

Mother’s Love that Touches the Whole Universe

I watched the movie, “Lorenzo’s Oil.”
It was about Lorenzo, a loving son from a happy family, who had an incurable disease called ALD. And his parents, with all their strength, fought with their son’s disease.
Not knowing the cause or the cure, even the doctors couldn’t do anything about the disease but just wait until he dies.
Lorenzo was cheerful and beautiful, but seeing that he couldn’t talk, see, or even swallow his saliva by his own, his parents started to take care of Lorenzo day and night searching through the books related to the disease.
Though they didn’t have any knowledge to medicine, with a concentrated mind traveling all over country just to save their child, they finally find the solution. Through the efforts, Lorenzo who was thought to be dying soon, started to show improvements, familiarizing the way to express his mind.
Watching the scene, the mother, who put on most efforts among others to save Lorenzo, looked great, and Heavenly Mother came up in my mind.
Being beyond time and space, the mother’s love makes even the person watching to be heartbroken.
Though that love looks so great, it is just a shadow to show Heavenly Mother’s love.
Just like how Lorenzo’s mom who didn’t want to eat or sleep saying how she can smile or enjoy while her son is sick, there is the great Mother for the 144000, who is restlessly sacrificing.
Watching the movie, seeing how Lorenzo had seizure, screamed and trembled in fear and agony, I denied that the image of Lorenzo wasn’t me. But Lorenzo who couldn’t sir an inch without his mother, or even properly swallow his saliva without his mother, was the image of me who couldn’t do anything or live, without the help of God.
Though I am a sinner who cannot do anything because of being sick, Mother, who manages hardships that no one wants to manage, oh how many times I have shook that Mother’s hand away!
I am just so thankful that you are still holding on to this foolish sinner.

I will always live without forgetting the love that you gave us, the love that touches the whole universe.
I will diligently work to repay Mother’s love that no one can realize.
Mother, I love you.

Parents of our bodies and Parents of our souls

World Mission Society Church of God(WMSCOG) keeps the passover according to the teaching of Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother.



A man does not consist of body only. Humans are a combination of body and soul.

... the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground [body] and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life [soul], and the man became a living being (Genesis 2:7)

Therefore, if a man dies, the body and soul are separated and the soul returns to its former place.

... and the dust [body] returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit [soul] returns to God who gave it. (Ecclesiastes 12:7)

While the body which came from the ground returns to it, the soul which came from God returns to Him. Like this, body and soul are different and distinct in essence. So, the Bible says that our physical father and our Spiritual Father are not same:

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! (Hebrews 12:9)

If our physical father and our Spiritual Father were identical, our physical father becomes our Spiritual Father. Or, if a man were made of body only and had no soul, there would be only our physical father and there cannot be our Spiritual Father. However, the fact that there are our physical father and our Spiritual Father respectively proves that there exist body and soul individually. Then, who is the Father of our souls?

"This, then, is how you should pray: " 'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name... (Matthew 6:9)

The Father of all souls is God in heaven. But we have not only our physical father but also physical mother. Then, does there exist the Mother of our souls as well? Or, is there only Father? The answer can be found in the Bible.

But the Jerusalem that is above [the heavenly Jerusalem: GNT] is free, and she is our mother. (Galatians 4:26)

The Bible teaches us that there is our Mother as well as our Father in heaven. It's very strange. Why do we have to have our Father and Mother in heaven just as we have our father and mother on the earth? What's the reason?

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. (Romans 1:18-20)

All visible things were created by God to reflect God's invisible qualities--His eternal power and divine nature. Body and soul are clearly distinct elements. Our body cannot exist without our physical father and mother, which shows the principle that our soul also cannot exist without our Spiritual Father and Mother. The existence of our body causes us not to deny the existence of father and mother who gave it to us. Therefore, the existence of our soul proves the existence of Father and Mother who gave it to us.

The Bible is really the amazing Words of God which make us realize spiritual principles and God's divine nature through this world we are living in. We should know and believe in God the Father and God the Mother testified by the Bible and all things in this world.

The World Mission Society Church of God believes in God the Father and God the Mother according to the Bible

 
 One of things that many people misunderstand about the Bible is that there is only God the Father. However, the Bible clearly reveals that there exists God the Mother as well God the Father from the first page of the Bible.
Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea...." So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. (Genesis 1:26-27)
If there is only one God, God the Father, it should read ‘my image’ not ‘our image.’ In addition, only ‘male’ should have been created in the image of God the Father. But, is there only male created in the image of God? Isn’t there also ‘female’? The fact that male and female were created in the image of God is the evidence that God’s image includes God the Father and God the Mother. It’s very important to know the existence of God the Father and God the Mother because it’s prophesied that God the Father and God the Mother are to appear to give us the water of life in the last days.
The Spirit [God the Father] and the bride [God the Mother] 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. (Revelation 22:17)
Those who have met God the Father and God the Mother can receive the water of life. People who only know God the Father do not know God whom we must press on to know. The World Mission Society Church of God (WMSCOG) receives the water of life from the Spirit and the bride according to the words of the Bible.

The core of the Bible - Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother

Many people read the Bible. Why do they read it? Some try to get literary value and others want to learn valuable life lessons from the Bible. However, the most important purpose of reading the Bible is to seek and find the way of eternal life and the kingdom of heaven. What is the core of the Bible?
 
You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life. These are the Scriptures that testify about me (John 5:39)
 
The core of the Bible is Christ testified to by it. No human beings can see or know the spiritual world. Only Christ is able to know the spiritual world and teach us the way to the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, Christ is essential for the salvation of our souls. If we meet Christ, we can know the way to the kingdom of heaven, and if not, we cannot find the way to the heaven. For this reason, Jesus said that we should know Christ to enter the kingdom of heaven.
 
Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. (John 17:3)
 
2000 years ago, the disciples who met Christ could find the way to the kingdom of heaven through his teachings. But as the time passed by, the way taught by Jesus disappeared by Satan who tried to disturb the Work of God’s Redemption (Daniel 7:25; Revelation 5:1.) How can we, human beings who lost the way of salvation, find it again? The Bible prophesies that Christ is to appear once again for our salvation.
 
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. (Hebrews 9:28)
 
If someone says that he knows the Bible well but if he does not know Christ who has appeared a second time, he actually knows nothing about salvation and eternal life. Some people say that they must see the Bible as a whole, not partially. It’s quite right if it means that the Bible must be understood in the context of the overall Work of Redemption.
 
The Work of Redemption is being progressed by God the Holy Spirit following the Father and the Son. In these days, the core of the salvation of the age of the Holy Spirit is God the Holy Spirit or the Second Coming Christ. Those who do not know the Second Coming Christ cannot realize salvation and eternal life whether they see the Bible partially or as a whole. It’s because it is Christ who makes us realize it (Revelation 5:1-5; John 14:26.)
 
If you really desire salvation, you must abandon stereotypes. The Bible is a mere book to those who cannot realize Christ, the core of the Bible.

People have to know Christ in this age as they wanted to know Jesus who was Christ in the age of the Son.  The core of Bible, Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother.

The Passover, the secret of the kingdom of heaven[WMSCOG]

 
Now many people know that the Passover is the feast of God which allows us eternal life. However, some people consider those who keep the Passover as legalists or even heretics. How pathetic! Why do some realize the fact that the Passover should be observed while others do not although they all read the same Bible? Of course, we can find the answer in the Bible.


He replied, "The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them… This is why I speak to them in parables: "Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand. (Matthew 13:11-13)


It means that there are people who are allowed to understand the secrets of the kingdom of heaven while there are also those who are not allowed to. The Passover is a secret of the kingdom of heaven which contains the blessings of the forgiveness of sins and everlasting life. Therefore, not everyone can understand the Passover. What’s the difference between those who understand the Passover and those who don’t?


Then I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne a scroll [the Scriptures] with writing on both sides and sealed with seven seals. And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, "Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?" But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or even look inside it. I wept and wept because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside. (Revelation 5:1-4)


The Apostle John wept much on the island of Patmos when he heard the words of God would be sealed with seven seals and no one could open the scroll or even look inside it. It is natural that John could not help but cry. Since then, people could not understand the secrets of the kingdom of heaven although they see and read the Bible. It means that people were not able to know the Passover. Fortunately, however, the Bible would not be sealed for good.


Then one of the elders said to me, "Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals." Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing in the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. (Revelation 5:5-6)


It’s written that the scroll would be opened by a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, or Jesus who is the Root of David. Therefore, those who receive the Second Coming Jesus can know the secret of the kingdom of heaven or the Passover. In other words, those who keep the Passover have received the Second Coming Jesus.


Do you know who keeps the Passover today? Only the World Mission Society Church of God (WMSCOG) keeps the Passover in the world as did Jesus and the apostles 2,000 years ago. This means that the Second Coming Jesus has already come to this church. Who is the Second Coming Jesus? We cannot realize the true meaning of the Passover until we receive him. The Passover is the feast which Jesus desired to keep and the secret of the kingdom of heaven for which the Apostle John cried bitterly with the concern that it would not be observed.

The letter of the Apostle John - World Mission Society Church of God

 
World Mission Society Church of God obey God's commandments absolutely, Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother who are saviors in this age give us God's law for our salvation. No matter how other people say, God's commandments should be kept.
 


The letter of the Apostle John

My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defense–Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world. We know that we have come to know him if we obey his commands [And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments: ASV]. The man who says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But if anyone obeys his word, God’s love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know we are in him: Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did. (1 John 2:1-6)

P.S.) The Apostle John wrote that we should obey God’s commandments in order not to sin. We cannot know the existence of God and His love until we keep His commandments. On the contrary, those who do not obey God’s commandments are liars, and the truth is not in them. God’s commandments include the Sabbath day and the seven feasts of three times including thePassover (Exodus 31:13; Luke 4:16; Matthew 26:7-29; 1 Corinthians 5:7-8.)

Please value God’s commandments for your sins to be forgiven. Also please do not sin again to enter the kingdom of heaven.

A Beautiful Mind

World Mission Society Church of God (WMSCOG) follows Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother.


A man was jogging, and when he spotted a beautiful woman, they both fell in love and eventually got married.

But, one day, in the man’s sight, the woman started to look odd.

His symptom became worse, and at last, she looked like a monster. Eventually, they got divorced.

In fact, from the very beginning, the woman was an alien.

How then, could the man see her beautifully?

That is because the man loved her.

Since love existed, despite of her hideous figure, he could see her beautifully.

However when he was out of love, the woman started to look hideous like a monster.

This is a summary from a foreign soap opera that was televised long time ago.

When I first heard this story, I thought, ‘Oh, that’s why according to the Teachings of Mother we must have a beautiful mind when we see our brothers and sisters.’

And after a while, I gained this realization.

From this world of sin, even though we have abominable forms; what we see is sin, what we bear is the fruit of sin, Mother says we are beautiful, praises us, and holds our hands. I wondered, all these were possible because she sees us through Her eyes of love.

Although we have a form of a sinner, all covered with faults, Mother says “Come” and covers us and embraces us.

Since Mother is love, She changes us, Her children;washing us to be transformed as a figure to enter the beautiful heaven.

Mother, I truly thank You.

I also love You Mother, just like You do.

We are happy people - World Mission Society Church of God, WMSCOG, Christ Ahnsahnghong

Before meeting Heavenly Mother, I was the most unfortunate person in this world. Growing up in domestic violence, my heart was always on edge. As I grew older, social phobia and depression that I had, grew deeper.



I wasn’t confident with anything that I have been doing, and even when I faced small hardship, I gave up and was frustrated. I was that kind of person.



I always wanted to be comforted, I got angry and became sad with small things, and the only hope that I had was to quickly leave this world.



However, happiness came to this kind of person.



When I first heard the truth, tears fell down my eyes that I thought was drained.



 My strong hardened heart started to melt and tears fell down endlessly.



Realizing how much of a happy person I am, I found myself smiling, and I thought that I could do anything in God, and felt strong and happy while doing things.



However my habit couldn’t easily change.



I was revealing my sorrow, wailing, trying to be comforted time to time.



When I had small difficulties and hardships, I listed every difficulty that I had faced, even the ones I had in old times in my childhood. I complained the unfairness and sadness to Mother countless times. Not knowing who the criminal was; the one who brought out these difficulties.              



One day, seeing ‘The Great Sacrifice of Mother’ biblical drama, my heart seemed to stop.

My soul was feeling that the incidents were true.



I committed most grave sin that it was right that I had to go straight to hell; however, God allowed me the city of refuge, to meet God, and allowed me again, to receive the noble love that was lost in heaven.



How can I express this grace in words?



Once I have read this kind of article.



A thief unexpectedly came into a house where an old couple lived, and murdered them ruthlessly, stealing the money that they have saved all their life for their child.



When the corpses were examined, they discovered a fingernail inside the old man’s throat, and that was nothing less than the nail of his son.



We all say that even if a child covers his face, parents can recognize.



Bleeding, being pierced innumerably by the child’s swinging blade, catching his breath, he found his son’s fingernail fallen on the ground, and swallowed it up using the rest of his strength.



Even at the instant of death, all his parents could think of was their child’s safety and future. Before the love of his parents, the son was diabolical, wasn’t right to be forgiven.



However that rebellious son was me. I was the one who pointed a blade in front of Father and Mother in heaven.



Even so, do I deserve to call them Father and Mother? 




Do I deserve to meet You again? 




And in the meantime, I thought as if it is insufficient, wanting to be comforted and to be paid for the unfairness and pain that I had.



Lately realizing all these, I saw that Father laid down his life to save this sinner, and Mother is in this prison where the sinners dwell, washing this sinner’s feet, like a servant.



The painful scar that they have received would be an obstinate stain, but they were never comforted. Even now, at this moment, Mother looks after her immature children who only complains for their unfairness that they are facing, without realization.



 Taking care of Her immature children who always complain for their pain and unfairness, She covers the scars of each soul one by one; even today, until we comfortably sleep, she cannot have no sleep or rest.



Who would feel pity for the thief in the article mentioned above, or want to be near him?



Like so, no one wants be by this sinner, or even want to look at this sinner, but She cherish me, and considers me more precious than Herself.



You willingly become the Mother of this sinner, and wait for me with trust, that I am Your child, guiding me with Your loving hand.

Mother, since you exist, I am the happiest person in this world.

I am so sorry that I realized it now, how much of a happy person I am.



I did not know this biggest blessing, this happiness when I was in heaven. On this earth, I will realize your very noble and pure love, and never step on to it but consider it, repaying as a devoted daughter.



Thank You Father and Mother. I love You eternally.

To those who distort the Sabbath day observed by Jesus[WMSCOG,God the Mother]

Today, there are people who call themselves "Orthodox" while worshiping on Sunday which is not based on the Bible and distorting the truth by claiming that "Jesus did not keep the Sabbath day" with regard to the verse indicating that Jesus observed the Sabbath day. Yet, they overlook one thing: if they misinterpret the verse regarding the Sabbath day kept by Jesus as "Jesus did not keep the Sabbath", they lose the slightest opportunity to justify the "Sunday service" they observe.


First, let's see the verse about the Sabbath day observed by Jesus.


He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. And he stood up to read. (Luke 4:16)


About the above Verse, they distort the truth by saying: "At first glance, it seems that Jesus kept the Sabbath day. However, if you read it carefully once more, you will find that there is no word "observe." The Bible says, "On the Sabbath day, Jesus went into the synagogue to read the Bible." Can we understand it today as ‘Jesus observed the Sabbath day?’”


They insist that it's not about keeping the Sabbath day since there is no direct expression "observe". Then, let's apply their logic to the Sunday service the same way. Are there any verses indicating Jesus kept the Sunday service?  At least, are they any record that Jesus went into the synagogue to read the Bible? They must first provide the ground for the Sunday service before they argue about the Sabbath day. They distort the truth by claiming that the Sabbath day was not observed although there is a record of keeping the Sabbath day. I wonder on what ground they keep the Sunday service. Isn’t it strange?


The word "custom" is the translation of the Greek word "ἔθω (εἰωθὸς)", which means "custom, common practice or ritual." In other words, we can confirm that the Sabbath day is a day observed as a custom, common practice or ritual. Of course, since the Sabbath day is one of God's Commandments, it can be also called "as his custom was or as he did as usual." It's because Jesus observed the Sabbath day as his custom was or as he did as usual.



Why do they diligently keep the Sunday service which was not kept by Jesus without considering observing the Sabbath day kept by Jesus? Believing in God with lips only; the demons also do. The demons also believe in God (James 2:19), the demons also acknowledged Jesus as the Lord (Matthew 8:29), and even the evil spirit said he knew Jesus (Acts 19:15.) If we get salvation as long as we believe without action, it can be also said that the demons and evil spirits who are destined to be destroyed will be saved. The difference between the devils who are destined to be destroyed and the Christians who will be saved depends on whether or not to do according to the words of God.

Do the things Abraham did[Christ Ahnsahnghong]

"Abraham did not do such things."


This is what Jesus said to the Jews who alleged that they were the children of Abraham. Why did Jesus deny the blood of the Jews who were the actual offspring of Abraham? What's the difference between Abraham and them?


“… I [Jesus] am telling you what I have seen in the Father's presence, and you do what you have heard from your father." "Abraham is our father," they answered. "If you were Abraham's children," said Jesus, "then you would do the things Abraham did. As it is, you are determined to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did not do such things. (John 8:38-40)


In the past, Abraham had met God who had appeared just as the Jews met God in the flesh. At that time, how did Abraham receive God?


The LORD appeared to Abraham near the great trees of Mamre while he was sitting at the entrance to his tent in the heat of the day. Abraham looked up and saw three men [God and two angels] standing nearby. When he saw them, he hurried from the entrance of his tent to meet them and bowed low to the ground. He said, "If I have found favor in your eyes, my lord, do not pass your servant by. Let a little water be brought, and then you may all wash your feet and rest under this tree. Let me get you something to eat, so you can be refreshed and then go on your way--now that you have come to your servant." "Very well," they answered, "do as you say." (Genesis 18:1-5)


Abraham treated God who appeared as a man with best butter and milk, and a calf dish. So, God allowed Abraham to have a son "Isaac" and blessed him, giving such titles as "the father of faith" and "the father of many nations." Receiving God in the flesh; it's what Abraham did.


The Bible prophesies that God is to appear in the flesh "a second time" to bring salvation to those who are waiting in the last days. Moreover, in these days, not only God the Father but also God the Mother, His bride, is to come together.


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. (Revelation 22:17)


Jesus said, "If you were Abraham's children, then you would do the things Abraham did." In this age, those who accept the Holy Spirit God the Father and the bride God the Mother who have come in the flesh to give us the water of life are Abraham's children.

The goal of our faith is the salvation of our souls[WMSCOG]

Why do people work for companies?
Some say that they feel happy while working in a company. Others say that they are having a happy work life due to good colleagues. There will be also people who find something worth by participating in community services in the course of working in a company. However, are there any people who continue to work for a company if they are not paid? The primary purpose of working for a company is to live on their salary. Even if they love their jobs or they are happy to work with other colleagues, people have no reason to work for companies if they are not paid.


Then, what’s the purpose of our faith in God?
Some say that they live a religious life to find peace of mind. Others say that they live a life of faith because they enjoy meeting people. Or there are people who are happy to participate in community services while attending the church. However, can these can be the ultimate purpose of our faith life?


Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls. (1 Peter 1:8-9)


The most important goal of our faith is the salvation of our souls. A life of faith without the salvation of souls is no more than a job without salary. Although they might feel happy or they think they obtain something worth, their efforts will be in vain in the end. The problem is that many churches teach different doctrines and different religious lives depending on their denominations. Which way of faith is the right one which leads us to the salvation of our souls?


"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers [depart from me, you workers of lawlessness – ESV]!' (Matthew 7:21-23)


Those who live a life of lawless faith which does not follow the will of God cannot enter the kingdom of heaven even though they call 'Lord, Lord', act as prophets who preach God, cast out demons or perform many miracles. They can obtain nothing while making many efforts.


Why should we do the will of God to get the salvation of our souls? It’s because the Word of God is the promise of salvation.


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. (John 6:53-55)


Whether we can receive life or not depends on following this Word containing the promise of eternal life. Then, how can eat and drink the flesh and blood of Jesus?


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. (Matthew 26:19-28)


Jesus promised that the Passover bread is His flesh and the Passover wine is His blood. Therefore, faith without keeping the Passover cannot give us the salvation of souls. Those who do not observe the Passover worship God in vain. Religious life which results in the salvation of souls, the goal of faith, is that of receiving eternal life through the Passover of the new covenant. If you believe in God, please live a life of faith which leads you to the kingdom of heaven by following the will of God.

Although they knew the Bible[World Mission Society Church of God]

Is it sufficient just to know the Bible? 2,000 years ago, the Jews took pride in knowing the Bible more than any other people. To considerable degree, it was true that they knew the Bible. Then, did they recognize Christ? As a matter of course, they also had to recognize Jesus because the Bible testifies about Christ. Of course, they understood who Jesus was. So they crucified Jesus who said he came as the "Son of God" on the cross.


Jesus said he came as the "Son" of  God, as if he had been a different being from God the Father Jehovah.


"Abba", Father," he said, "everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will." (Mark 14:36)


"This, then, is how you should pray: " 'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, (Matthew 6:9)


Jesus called out with a loud voice, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit." When he had said this, he breathed his last. (Luke 23:46)


Jesus described God Jehovah as the Almighty One and Himself as a child who obeys the commands of the Father. That is, he regarded himself as the same position like us. Here, don't you have a question? Why did the Jews resent Jesus when he said he came as the Son of God, which might have not been any problem? Further, why did they crucify Him on the cross?



“… I [Jesus] and the Father are one." Again the Jews picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus said to them, "I have shown you many great miracles from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?" "We are not stoning you for any of these," replied the Jews, "but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God." (John 10:30-33)


Jesus said to them, "My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I, too, am working." For this reason the Jews tried all the harder to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God. (John 5:17-18)


When Jesus said, "I and the Father are one," the Jews responded by saying "You, a mere man, claim to be God." Also, when Jesus said to them, "My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I, too, am working," they blamed him for making himself equal with God. Why did they understand "calling God his own Father" as "making himself equal with God"?


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. (Isaiah 9:6)


The Jews knew the prophecy of the prophet Isaiah. In around 700 B.C., the prophet Isaiah foretold that ‘Almighty God would come as a Son.’ Therefore, the Jews got into rage when he said, "I and Father are one." They knew the Bible better than the disciples.


Philip said, "Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us." Jesus answered: "Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'? Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. (John 14:8-10)


Philip was not able to understand the words of Jesus properly although he had been with Jesus. He could not understand why Jesus called himself the "Son of God" until he learned many teachings after Jesus ascended to heaven.


The Jews, who understood the word of Jesus by themselves, rejected Jesus and were destroyed after all. Philip, who realized after being taught from Jesus, was blessed. What's the difference between them? Just knowing the Bible is not sufficient. It's no more than mere acquisition of knowledge. To know the Bible means "to realize the words and put them in practice."
The World Mission Society Church of God (WMSCOG) preaches Christ of the age of the Holy Spirit to great multitude of Christians: God the Holy Spirit in the male image and God the Mother, the bride in the female image witnessed by the Bible from the 1st Chapter of Genesis to the 22nd Chapter of Revelation. At this, most people says that they came to know God the Mother testified by the Bible for the first time, giving a slight nod.


While seeing many people leaving, saying that they came to know Christ who has come as the Spirit and the bride in the Bible, I thought of the Jews. They also knew but did not believe.

The core of the Bible

Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother in the World Mission Society Church of God (WMSCOG) are the core of the Bible.



Many people read the Bible. Why do they read it? Some try to get literary value and others want to learn valuable life lessons from the Bible. However, the most important purpose of reading the Bible is to seek and find the way of eternal life and the kingdom of heaven. What is the core of the Bible?



You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life. These are the Scriptures that testify about me (John 5:39)



The core of the Bible is Christ testified to by it. No human beings can see or know the spiritual world. Only Christ is able to know the spiritual world and teach us the way to the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, Christ is essential for the salvation of our souls. If we meet Christ, we can know the way to the kingdom of heaven, and if not, we cannot find the way to the heaven. For this reason, Jesus said that we should know Christ to enter the kingdom of heaven.



Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. (John 17:3)



2000 years ago, the disciples who met Christ could find the way to the kingdom of heaven through his teachings. But as the time passed by, the way taught by Jesus disappeared by Satan who tried to disturb the Work of God’s Redemption (Daniel 7:25; Revelation 5:1.) How can we, human beings who lost the way of salvation, find it again? The Bible prophesies that Christ is to appear once again for our salvation.



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. (Hebrews 9:28)



If someone says that he knows the Bible well but if he does not know Christ who has appeared a second time, he actually knows nothing about salvation and eternal life. Some people say that they must see the Bible as a whole, not partially. It’s quite right if it means that the Bible must be understood in the context of the overall Work of Redemption.



The Work of Redemption is being progressed by God the Holy Spirit following the Father and the Son. In these days, the core of the salvation of the age of the Holy Spirit is God the Holy Spirit or the Second Coming Christ. Those who do not know the Second Coming Christ cannot realize salvation and eternal life whether they see the Bible partially or as a whole. It’s because it is Christ who makes us realize it (Revelation 5:1-5; John 14:26.)



If you really desire salvation, you must abandon stereotypes. The Bible is a mere book to those who cannot realize Christ, the core of the Bible.
