Do we have to worship a wall of a city?[World Mission Society Church of God]

and give him no rest till he establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of the earth. (Isaiah 62:7)

At a glance, some might think the above verse is about a prophecy that God will build the city of Jerusalem. But it’s just a fragmented understanding. If we look at the mate of this verse in the Scriptures, we can understand the meaning behind it.

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

A long ago time, the prophet Isaiah prophesied that God would establish Heavenly Mother just as Adam had named his wife ‘Eve’:

Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become the mother of all the living. (Genesis 3:20)

We need to know that Jerusalem recorded in the book of Isaiah does not merely refer to a city located in Palestine near the Mediterranean, but also contains a prophecy about Heavenly Mother. Those who consider Jerusalem as a mere building are to fall into a big error.

Your gates will always stand open, they will never be shut, day or night, so that men may bring you the wealth of the nations? their kings led in triumphal procession. For the nation or kingdom that will not serve you will perish; it will be utterly ruined. (Isaiah 60:11-12)

Isaiah 60 is about the future glory of Jerusalem. The word “you” above refers to the city of Jerusalem. If you think Jerusalem is just a wall of a city, which exists in Israel, it’s concluded that you should worship a building to get salvation because it’s written, “For the nation or kingdom that will not serve you will perish.”

Isn’t it strange? How can God, who forbade idolatry (Exodus 20:4), command us to worship a wall of a city? Such an error occurs because people consider Jerusalem as a mere city. They will result in destruction according to the warning of God regarding those who distort the Bible to their own destruction (2 Peter 3:16.)

One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.” 10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God. (Revelation 21:9-10)

Jerusalem in the Bible stands for Heavenly Mother, who gives us the water of life in this age as the wife of the Lamb.

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)

Mom's 30 Minutes - World Mission Society Church of God

Seeing out my husband going to work, I tried to catch up on my sleep.

How much did I sleep?

My son, who slept quite early last night, got up early and insisted he was hungry.

As I sat slowly on my bed, I noticed that I got up 30 minutes later than usual.

"Gosh! I'm late! I’m late! I need to take you to the institute and I have to get to my appointment!"

I rushed, gave my son breakfast, grabbed my jacket and my bag, and left the house.

I was stamping on my feet repeatedly, at the place where the bus stopped to pick my son.

I was worrying the bus might arrive late.

Of course, the bus didn't arrive on time, which gave me a tantalizing situation.

"Oh well, what can we do? Greg, why don't you wait here alone? I’m sure the bus will come soon."

I left my son there, and hurriedly went for my appointment.

“Hey sister, what makes you rush this early?

It was a sister of my church who lived in the same town.

"Oh, I don't think it's that early. It had passed eight already."

"Huh? What are you talking about? It's not even eight yet."

Looking at my watch again, I noticed it wasn't half past eight, but half past seven.

Suddenly something sparked my mind.

"Greg!!! My goodness!"

Realizing I have left my son an hour early on that block, I ran.

But he was gone.

I tried to find him all around the nearest places where he could be: security office, playground, even near the institute. I even requested an announcement in my apartment, but he didn't appear.

"Greg! Greg! Where are you? Oh please..."

I don't know how much time has passed.

Anxiously and with haste, I was looking for my son.

Suddenly, I received a call from the institute.

He mistakenly got in a bus that runs to an elementary school, thinking that the bus was taking to his institute.

With a sigh of relief, my knees buckled.

I checked my watch and surprisingly only 30 minutes had passed.

I couldn't have imagined 30 minutes would have felt this long.

For a mom losing her child, 30 minutes was indeed a long time.

My eyes welled up.

I couldn't possibly stop my tears that came out with a surge of sorrow.

"Losing my son for just 30 minutes, I anxiously wandered all around to find him!

 

How heartbroken would our Heavenly Mother be finding Her lost children, the apple of Her eye, for a long time, 6,000 years?

Though She is mocked, scorned and ridiculed, She endures just because She misses Her children so much!"

All of a sudden, I felt something that I couldn't possibly express with words.

"This is it. This is God's heart. True love towards Their children.

But did I really try to find my lost brothers and sisters with this heart?

Though I said I have realized God the Father and God the Mother's love, did I really try to find Their children like today’s 30 minutes?

Asking myself and realizing how unfaithful daughter I was to God, I really hated myself.  

Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother...

 

Though I cannot describe Their grace with words, allowing this daughter who didn't realize the "heart of a mother losing her child," I give all thanks and love to Them for this realization.

 

I will engrave this realization deep down in my heart, and I will be a daughter who surely does the best to find the long lost brothers and sisters.

 

No mother can endure the time to wait the lost child even one minute, but our Heavenly Mother have waited for 6,000 years in pain.   It is the shortcut to receive salvation that we realize our spiritual Mother who can give us eternal life.

 

 

 

Maternal Love in the Snowstorm[WMSCOG]

One man was traveling on a horse.

It was an awfully cold weather in the snowstorm.

It didn’t even take a while until he met a woman finding her way to her husband; carrying her child on her back.

Pitying them, the man got them on the horse.

Despite of herself being cold, the woman covered her child with her outer garment.

Though the child was sleeping cozily in its mother’s arms, the mother was about to freeze to death.

Her body started becoming stiff and was nearly falling asleep.

The mother surely was about to die…

Noticing this, the man suddenly got her off the horse and took her child and went off.

The mother couldn’t stop but ran after the man screaming, to give her child back.

The man wouldn’t listen and just kept on going.

At a certain point, the man stopped the horse.

When the mother was catching her breath, the man asked, “You’re not cold anymore, are you?”

Then the man took them on the horse and they safely arrived to the place where they were heading to.

[USA] FORT TRYON CLEANUP in World Mission Society Church of God

World Mission Society Church of God in USA

As the seasons change, the landscape changes accordingly. Most regions in the world have very slight or no change in season, but the Northeastern region of the United States experiences very drastic climatic changes during the year. From freezing subzero winters to sweltering summers, the alternating weather patterns provide for a unique biome. New York City has it all, and maintaining this great city’s delicate ecosystem requires abundant resources and time. New York City depends largely on volunteers to maintain its large tracts of green space, to repair areas that have become fallow requires even greater amounts of resource.

As part of its continuous efforts to address environmental issues in the New York Area, the Church of God[WMSCOG] participated in a Spring Preparation Cleanup at the Fort Tryon Park in Inwood (New York, NY). On March 13, 2011, the volunteer core of the Church of God[WMSCOG] arrived on location early on Sunday morning to perform the cleanup task. In past decades, Fort Tryon, a historic and scenic landmark, fallen into disrepair due to poor funding. The old fort, which dates back to the Revolutionary War, has begun to be restored in recent decades, and the volunteers of the Church of God[WMSCOG] wanted to make the restoration goal more attainable.

In preparation for spring, the volunteers removed weeds to beautify the park, as well as all other kinds of human waste. Due to poor policing, the park had become a niche for a range of illicit activities, all leaving behind their human footprint. Understanding the importance of this historic site and unique ecosystem, the volunteers of the Church of God[WMSCOG] went to work quickly and, despite the small numbers, achieved remarkable success. Like a mother who would want the best for her children, the Church of God[WMSCOG] members, earnestly wanting to emulate Heavenly Mother, wanted to beautify this park area, to help it become the pride of the region and preserve it for posterity.

Through the grace of God the Father and God the Mother, substantial progress has been achieved. Yet, there is still much work to be done in this vast area. The members of the Church of God[WMSCOG] performed this environmental task with joy and gladness. The restoration, preservation and enhancement efforts in this area will continue. Following the example of Heavenly Mother, who is the Good Samaritan, the volunteers are eager to lend a helping hand when needed and are looking forward to participating more frequently in this location.

There is something mystical about mother’s smile

Mother isn’t just a member of a family. She is like the sun. Mother’s existence is like the sun;all things in the universe lose their light without it. That is because of Mother’s love. The reason why there is something mystical about mother’s smile is because of the sacrifice that is in her love.



A young man living with his widowed mother happened to lose the sight of both eyes in a car accident. Despite of his mother’s sincere comfort and care, the man felt a great sense of lost. Then one day, he heard that someone donated an eye for him. But he wasn't that pleased because he was looking forward to receive both eyes and live like before.

“Darling, why don’t you get the operation even if there’s only one eye?”

He decided to have the operation since he couldn’t overcome with his mother’s plea.

On the day when he took his bandages off, he bursts into tears. His mother didn't have one eye. But the mother said to him,

“Darling,I wanted to give you both of them, but thinking of you taking care of me who can’t see, I just couldn't.”



This is maternal love. She never grudges though she gives out everything. It is certain when we see the relationship between a bow and an arrow.

The arrow flies further away as the bow bends more. So the mother is like the bow and the child is like the arrow. As much as the parents’ back becomes crooked, the child moves forward. When there is an arrow that flew away furthest, the bow must have been bended a lot to send it.

The bow would be painful as much as it bends. But the bow endures its pain, just to send the arrow further away.

In our surroundings, we can easily find parents and children having relationships like the bow and the arrow. As much as the child is great, the parents’ sacrifice would be much more than that.

If there is a person who achieved, behind those achievements, most of them have their mothers who sacrificed for them.

Love for the Sinner

Growing as the only daughter, I only knew how to receive love. Giving love was too unfamiliar to me, which I treated it as if it had nothing to do with me. I didn't even know how to consider the love of my physical parents, which made me difficult to realize Heavenly Mother’s love; and that realization took for quite a while.


Though in Zion, I saw many films containing Heavenly Mother’s sacrifice, I did not understand why She had to choose such a difficult path of sufferings. After I have watched for several times, I just reacted calmly and thought, ‘Yeah, like in the film,Heavenly Mother indeed suffered a lot.’ Without realizing that deep love, I just continued giving pain and scars to Heavenly Mother every day.

Throughout extremely hot weather few days ago, I guess from something that I had ate made me have a stomach ache, and it was burning that I couldn’t bear. I thought I would get better since I took medicine and went to the hospital and had an IV, however I started to have chills, wouldn't move my head because of the headache, which eventually gave me so much pain that I couldn’t even take a step forward. It was my first time being sick like this.

As if I might be ready to collapse, enduring the pain, I finally reached home and collapsed on my bed. Though the weather was hot,having chills, I had to pull over the blanket on me. It was really hot and cold. It was painful which I can’t describe that feeling with words. Then, I started to have high fever, my whole body became hot like a great ball of flame which didn't let me have any energy to even moan, and I couldn’t open my eyes because it hurt so much.

As I gradually fell into a coma, I started to think of Heavenly Mother. She clearly came up in my head just like I have watched on the film. Our Heavenly Mother, who couldn’t even buy medicine because She had no money despite of the high fever and being ill, and She had to endure all the pains throughout the long night in a cold room. Our Heavenly Mother, who had to suffer all alone in a cold room, where even the water jug was all frozen.

I even thought of Heavenly Mother who massaged elaborately of one patient sitting on Her knees. Oh Heavenly Mother! At that moment I realized that Her cartilage was all worn out. Tears welled up my eyes and it fell down my cheeks. It fell continually, like beads falling of its string.


‘Oh Mother! How did You endure the pain hanging between life and death, all alone… What kind of sinner am I! Why did You have to endure that long painful night without medicine for this maggot life; to save me, the sinner? Mother! Why did You have to endure that pain for this invaluable worthless sinner? Mother I am so sorry. I am so sorry, Mother!’

My soul hurt more than my body. It was irresistible to stop my tears, feeling the Mother’s pain that She had to suffer for me. Oh, what kind of sinner am I... For a long time I was heartless, disregarding and ignoring Heavenly Mother’s love… My sinful past came up in my mind like a film and pierced my soul.

I couldn’t say anything but I was sorry... I hated myself so much and I endlessly missed Heavenly Mother. I was sorry and endlessly missing Her... I wanted to come near to Her but I had the mind that I couldn’t possibly get near to the noble Heavenly Mother... At that time, I felt as if She was stroking my head with a benevolent smile. I think through all the pains and regrets I fell asleep.

When I woke up, my whole body and head was stiff with pain, and my blanket was all wet. I thought of Heavenly Mother who smiled and stroke my head. Oh Heavenly Mother! For me, these several hours are so painful as if I am going to die, how did You endure many long painful nights? Because of me, I made You to go through all the sufferings! I was so sorry that I wept and wept...

Thinking that this sinful child might not be saved without realizing Mother’s love, I believe with Her great grace, She made me realize a ten-thousandth of Mother’s love. Now, I will not just stay crying. I will change my sorrows into actions and live a life of repentance.

Mother, please let me scrub off dirt of as a prodigal sinner and wash my filthy soul with Your water of life! Mother, allow me to give this whole body and mind to You! Mother, allow me to give a gift of repentance to You! Mother, allow me to love You so that all Your pains cannot become in vain! Allow me to proclaim Mother’s great sacrifice to the whole world! My Mother, I truly deeply give thanks to You.

The World Mission Society Church of God founded by the Second Coming Christ Ahnsahnghong

The World Mission Society Church of God was founded by Ahnsahnghong-nim in Korea in 1964, and its key messages are the second coming of Jesus as a man and the existence of God the Mother.

Christ Ahnsahnghong was born in 1918. He began His ministry in 1948 and ascended to heaven in 1985 after 37 years of ministry. This was to fulfill the prophecy of King David who was anointed to become a king and reigned for 40 years (see 2nd Samuel 5:4.)

This prophecy was supposed to be fulfilled by Jesus 2,000 years ago. Jesus was baptized at the age of 30, but He was crucified by those who did not recognize Him and worked only 3 years as the King of the Universe.

Therefore the Christ should come again in this era to complete the remaining 37 years of David's throne (Hebrew 9:28.)

The WMSCOG started from Korea and spread to the whole world. Recently, millions of people believe in Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother who came to Korea in the flesh. Christ promised that He would appear a second time in the east to bring salvation to those who are waiting for Him.

For this reason, the Church of God believes in Jesus Christ who came a second time as a man with a New Name in these last days (Revelation 2:17 & 3:12.)

Actually you can find this Church in more than 150 countries throughout the world. The number of the registered Church members amounts to around 1.63 million and there are 2,200 Churches around the world.

Today, the world-wide members of the Church of God are preaching the existence of God the Mother.

It's prophesied in the Bible that God the Father are to reveal God the Mother.

Christ Ahnsahnghong taught His disciples the truth about God the Mother through the prophecies of the Bible, which is being preached by the World Mission Society Church of God today.

In the early 1950s, Christ Ahnsahnghong unveiled the existence of God the Mother through the topic "The last Adam and the last Eve."

He explained this truth clearly in notebooks written with His own hand.

So the Church of God is practicing the love of God the Father and God the Mother globally by providing financial assistance to neighbors in need and conducting the blood drives and voluntary activities.

Most recently, 400 members of this Church performed a clean-up campaign in the area "Cerro de la Estrella" in cooperation with the Iztapalapa autonomous government.

Besides, the WMSCOG has contributed to environmental conservation by hosting one-day clean-up campaigns in conjunction with different local governments in Mexico including Naucalpan, Puebla, Nuevo León, Jalisco and Guerrero.

Help from Manchester _ World Mission Society Church of God

Help from Manchester

FLOOD-HIT Oxford residents were given a helping hand from an unlikely source yesterday.

About 100 people travelled all the way from Manchester to help people affected by floods, with clear-up work.

The team was part of the voluntary department of the World Mission Society Church of God and  soon set about visiting the worst hit areas of the city such as Binsey Lane.

According to the teachings of Heavenly Mother, Members of World Mission Society Church of God help people affected by floods. World Mission Society Church of God believes in God the Mother who is Elohim God the saviors in the age of Holy Spirit.

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.

The World Mission Society Church of God is Zion where we celebrate the feasts of the new covenant

The Bible prophesies that the last place of salvation is Zion (Micah 4:1; Revelation 14:1.) Therefore, each church insists that it’s Zion while its doctrines vary between individual churches. Where is Zion the Bible testifies about? Zion was originally a name of place in the area of Palestine. Actually, there are people who go to Zion in Palestine with the hope of salvation. However, in the age of the new covenant, Zion does not refer to a limited area of Palestine.

Look upon Zion, the city of our festivals [the city where we celebrate our religious festivals: GNT]; your eyes will see Jerusalem, a peaceful abode, a tent that will not be moved; its stakes will never be pulled up, nor any of its ropes broken. (Isaiah 33:20)

Prophetically, Zion is the place where we celebrate the feasts of God. In the time of the Old Testament, the sacrifices were offered to God in the earthly Jerusalem. Therefore, Zion where there was the earthly Jerusalem was the place of feasts. However, the center of the feasts of the new covenant is the heavenly Jerusalem.

But you have come to Mount Zion, to the heavenly Jerusalem, the city of the living God. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly (Hebrews 12:22)

Jesus also made clear that we will not worship God in the earthly Jerusalem in the age of the new covenant.

“… Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.” Jesus declared, “Believe me, woman, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. (John 4:20-21)

Then, where is Zion in the age of the new covenant? In the Old Testament, Zion was the place where the feasts of the old covenant were celebrated. Therefore, in the time of the new covenant, Zion is the place where the feasts of the new covenant are observed. Jesus fulfilled the feasts of the old covenant to the feasts of the new covenant through His sacrifice on a cross. In order to complete, He changed the Passover of the old covenant (when the Passover lamb was sacrificed) to the Passover of the new covenant (when we eat and drink the flesh and blood of Jesus who was the reality of the lamb of the old covenant.) Jesus fulfilled the prophecy of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the feast of affliction, through the torture of the cross. And He has been raised from the dead and became the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep, fulfilling the Day of Firstfruits. Like this, Jesus fulfilled all prophecies of the seven feasts of three times comprising of the Passover, the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Day of Firstfruits, the Feast of Weeks, the Feast of Trumpets, the Day of Atonement and the Feast of Tabernacles, and newly established them as the days of celebrating the Redemption Work of Christ.

Churches which do not celebrate the feasts of God as evidenced by the Bible are not Zion. The church that observes the feasts of the new covenant made by Jesus is Zion. The World Mission Society Church of God is the only church that celebrates the seven feasts of three times in accordance with the regulations of the new covenant in the world. Then, isn’t it so clear which church is Zion?

Local Clean-Up Clears Rubbish From Fatima[World Mission Society Church of God]

Since it started almost 4 years ago by members of the Church Of God, it’s been a huge success. The global and local cleanup’s have been a regular sight in and around, the city and countries, and recently in the Dublin 8.

On Sunday 10th November I went along to one of these cleanup’s that was happening in my area. St James walk that sits in between Fatima Luas and the back of St James Hospital was the chosen area for this clean up. Once I arrived I was given a high visibility vest, a pair of gloves, a blue plastic DCC rubbish bag, and a picker. I joined a group who were already at work and we worked our way towards Rialto Luas stop, picking up litter that was either dumped or got caught in the bushes that was blowing in the wind.

The group was headed by a Pastor by the name of Daniel, who informed me all the people who were out on Sunday were members of the church of god, and they liked to be called brothers, or sisters.
I was a bit sadden to be told I was the only local who came out to help clean our area, as I have heard on numerous occasions that people were fed up with the rubbish been dumped illegally in our area. But solider on I did with the force of about 40 other members. I was also informed this was part of the global cleanup and in recent times the church of god members have been in dated with awards.

They have received awards from the US called “The President’s Volunteer Service Award” on behalf of Barrack Obama, and New Zealand, by Christchurch City Council, award from the US Congressman, and from The Philippines, on behalf City Social Services and Department, and recently from the Dublin City Council (DCC).

On Sundays clean up the DCC did give them rubbish bags, and when we ran out of bags there were at least 50 bags filled and ready to be collected by the council on Monday 11th November at the arranged site.

The Church of God are situated here in our wonderful city of Dublin, over at 126 Block A, Smithfield in Dublin 7. They meet every weekend from 8am to 9pm, all members of the public are welcome to drop in, and you can also phone Daniel on 085-240-1954 to find out more about the Church Of God or to see what area, or forward your area for a cleanup. You can also email Damien at pa1025@watv.org.

WMSCOG Volunteers Remove Sandy Debris From The Bay

More than 200 Church of God volunteers join Don Riepe, Cathy Sohn and other American Littoral Society members for a day long cleanup of the Jamaica Bay shoreline. Photo by Dan Guarino

More than two hundred volunteers from the World Mission Society Church of God in New York joined the American Littoral Society on Sunday, September 22nd, to remove roughly ten tons of debris left on the coastline since Hurricane Sandy’s damage to Broad Channel and the Rockaways last October.

Director of the Northeast Chapter of Littoral Society Don Riepe was on hand to shoulder part of the work and direct activities for the day long project.

Volunteers formed an assembly line of about a quarter-mile in Broad Channel to efficiently pick up and pass along planks, trash, boat wreckage, bottles, decks and other sometimes huge pieces of debris, among other environmental hazards.

This human chain, passing items from gloved hand to gloved hand, stretched from the Jamaica Bay shoreline to the American Legion parking lot off Cross Bay Boulevard.

“The area was completely flooded by Sandy. [It was] really destroyed,” said Cathy Sohn of the American Littoral Society. "It's great that these guys were able to help us in this area because a lot of the debris tossed up was from Sandy. And here we are, almost a year later and it was still sitting there."

“Because we believe in God the Father and God the Mother,” one of the Church of God volunteers said, “we put their teachings into practice by volunteering in our community through service activities like today.

That's why we want to help out in any way we can to make the world a better place."

The Church has been working with the American Littoral Society over the past five years to help restore Jamaica Bay.

This past spring, the volunteers helped plant salt marshes to prevent future floods like those caused by Superstorm Sandy.

The Church of God has especially been helping Broad Channel and the Rockaways rebuild after the storm. Fifteen days immediately after Sandy, hundreds of volunteers cleaned out flooded homes for families and, also helped restore their peace of mind and give them hope for the future.

As the rebuilding continues, the Church looks forward to being an on-call service body to provide help where it is needed.

The World Mission Society Church of God is a faith-based, international nonprofit organization. Within four decades, it has established approximately 2,200 churches, or regions, in more than 150 different countries.

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

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.

World Mission Society Church of God keeps the Passover of the New covenant.

As you know, God alone has eternal life.

God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone is immortal (1 Timothy 6:15-16)

Therefore, only God can give us eternal life. The promise of eternal life God gave us is contained in the Passover.

Jesus said to them, “I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man [Jesus] and drink his [Jesus'] 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)

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

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 [the Passover bread] is my body.” Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. This [The Passover wine] is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. (Matthew 26:19-28)

Those who observe the Passover are surely supposed to receive the blessing of eternal life according to the words of Jesus: “Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life.” On the contrary, since Jesus said: “Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you,” those who do not keep the Passover cannot receive eternal life. The World Mission Society Church of God believes in the promise of eternal life Jesus promised us and celebrates the Passover of the New Covenant as a precious truth.
