The Wages of Sin Is Death (World Mission Society Church of God)


The Bible says that death came to all men because all sinned (Rom 5:12). Those who do not believe in God complain, saying, "Whenever we go to the church, we hear that we are sinners. Why do Christians say that?" However, in actuality, all people are basically sinners.

We do believe in God. So, we give thanks and praise to God for having saved us, sinners, who were destined to die. Even we, who admit ourselves to be sinners, do not completely realize what kind of sin we committed, and fail to repent fully. We need to examine ourselves.

God has saved us, who committed the most grievous sin. Now, let's take time to ruminate about how great God's saving grace is.


The heavenly children who committed sin


2,000 years ago, when Jesus came to this earth, He began to preach the gospel with the word, "Repent!" (Matt 4:17). The Bible teaches us that we were angels in heaven before we were born on this earth. What happened to us in heaven, that Christ urged us to repent when He came to this earth to save mankind and first began to preach?
Let's consider the kingdom of heaven where we originally lived, and find out the will of God who has saved us.

Pr. 8:22~31『"The LORD brought me forth as the first of his works, before his deeds of old; I was appointed from eternity, from the beginning, before the world began. When there were no oceans, I was given birth, when there were no springs abounding with water; before the mountains were settled in place, before the hills, I was given birth, before he made the earth or its fields or any of the dust of the world. ... and when he marked out the foundations of the earth. Then I was the craftsman at his side. I was filled with delight day after day, rejoicing always in his presence, rejoicing in his whole world and delighting in mankind.』

In the above verses, "I" designates Solomon, who was the third king of Israel.(pr. 1:1) When he wrote the book of Proverbs, he stated that he already existed before the creation of the earth. From this, we can see that he existed as a spiritual being before he came to this earth and he lived in the angelic world, the kingdom of God.
Not only Solomon but also all humans born on this earth were angels who lived in the kingdom of heaven, filled with delight day after day. Why have such glorious angels come down to this earth to live such painful lives? There must be a certain reason for such a tragic result. As we consider that Christ told us to "repent" when He reminded us of the heavenly kingdom, we can guess that we committed something that needs repenting, when we were in heaven.

1Jn. 1:8~10『If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives.』

Christ didn't tell the innocent and righteous to repent. We all committed sin in heaven and were cast down to the earth. Then, what kind of sin did we commit in heaven that we were thrown down to the earth? We need to know the nature and magnitude of our sin.


The sin committed in heaven


The Bible tells us how the king of Babylon and the king of Tyre lived before they came to the earth. Like Solomon and all the other people born on this earth, they were also angels who enjoyed delight and glory in heaven.

Isa. 14:4, 12~15『you will take up this taunt against the king of Babylon ... How you have fallen from heaven, O morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations! You said in your heart, 'I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of the sacred mountain. I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.' But you are brought down to the grave, to the depths of the pit.』

Eze. 28:11~17『"Son of man, take up a lament concerning the king of Tyre and say to him: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says . . . You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone adorned you: ruby, ... Your settings and mountings were made of gold; on the day you were created they were prepared. You were anointed as a guardian cherub, ... You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created till wickedness was found in you. Through your widespread trade you were filled with violence, and you sinned. So I drove you in disgrace from the mount of God, and I expelled you, O guardian cherub, from among the fiery stones. Your heart became proud on account of your beauty, and you corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor. So I threw you to the earth; I made a spectacle of you before kings.』

In the above verses, we can see that the angels, who became proud and tried to raise their throne above the stars of God, finally committed sin and were punished by God. Through the case of the king of Babylon and the king of Tyre, God shows us how grave sin we committed in heaven before we came to this earth.



We were so proud and rebellious that we committed treason against God in heaven and were cast down to this earth. We committed such a horrendous sin in heaven. That's why we live a life full of pain and sorrow on this earth and then die in the end. Let's consider the degree or intensity of our sin through a verse in Romans 6.


The wages of our sin is death


We seem to live freely on this earth, but viewed from the spiritual world we are confined by the restraints of time and space. We are sinners destined to die eternally, that is, we are prisoners on death row.

Ro. 6:23『For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.』



Living in this world, humans may commit a crime or offense like breaking traffic regulations under unavoidable circumstances. However, the death penalty is not imposed for minor offenses. Considering that the wages of our sin is death, we can see that the sin we committed is so grave that it can never be atoned for without death.

Spiritually we are condemned prisoners who committed a terrible sin in heaven and have come down to this earth. Nevertheless, we easily forget this fact. So, Christ told us to repent, humble ourselves, and serve others. By this He ultimately meant that we should realize we are sinners.

Recently I watched a documentary about condemned prisoners. Prisoners on death row suffer from anxiety and fear from the day when they are sentenced to death, unaware of when they will be executed. From the moment they wake up in the morning, they are in constant fear that they could be executed today and get even frightened when they are called out to meet a visitor. As they go to bed after the evening roll call, they put their minds at ease, thankful that the day passed without execution. This is the life of prisoners on death row; they live in fear of death every day.

They all say that once they are forgiven for their sins, they will pay their debt to society for the rest of their lives. If somebody tells them to serve all people, saying he's going to forgive them, they will do that wholeheartedly. If he tells them to lead other prisoners to repentance, they will also do that. No matter what words they hear, even if somebody slaps them on their cheeks, they will put up with it. They were on death row but now their lives have been saved. Isn't there anything they wouldn't do? Nothing.

If anyone shows himself off and tries to exalt himself over others, it's because he still does not realize who he is. When Father and Mother saved us sinners, who were waiting for death, They told us to be humble, serve one another, and be considerate of each other. We are obligated to follow Their words because we have received the forgiveness of sins through Their boundless love.


The grace of God who has atoned for our sin leading to death


There is a law in heaven, too. To forgive our sin, without breaking the heavenly law, our heavenly Father and Mother have become the sin offering for us. Only death could expiate our sin, so our heavenly Parents paid the penalty that we deserved for our sin, in our stead, enduring all kinds of sufferings.

Isa. 53:1~6『Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? ... Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.』

We've been redeemed from sin at a great price; our Father died in our place for our sins, and our Mother suffered in our stead. Since our Father and Mother have taken up all our iniquities, we've been able to be saved.
God established the law of the Passover so that His children might not forget His death, and let them eat His flesh and drink His blood through the Passover.

Jn. 6:53~57『Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. ... so the one who feeds on me will live because of me."』

Mt. 26:17~19, 26~28『... So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover. ... While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is my body." Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins."』





In the Passover is contained the love of God who gave His body as a ransom to save us, the condemned prisoners who were destined for death. The Passover also contains God's earnest command not to forget His love and not to fall into sin again.

For a convict on death row, there can be no greater joy than to hear the news that he will be forgiven for his sin and his life will be saved. When the Passover comes every year, we just rejoice in having received eternal life, eating bread and wine. In reality, we are the most un-filial of all in the universe because we've gained life by eating our Parents' flesh and drinking Their blood. However, our Father and Mother were pleased just with the fact that Their children repented and were not involved in the same sin again (see Isa. 53:10~11).

When we eat the Passover bread, we have to remember that our Parents gave Their precious body and blood for us to eat in order to save us. When we drink the Passover wine, we have to remember that our sin was so great that it couldn't be forgiven without the precious blood of our Parents, and we should give thanks to Them for Their sacrifice. When we do this, we can be said to have truly realized the truth of the new covenant.


Live a purgatorial life by realizing the true meaning of the new covenant


Now, let's obey everything God has told us. God said to us, "Serve one another, be humble, and preach fervently." There is a certain reason why God has commanded us to do so.

There is nothing that condemned prisoners can't do if only they can be forgiven for their sins. Whatever they do, no matter how hard and difficult the task is, it will be a very joyful time for them, compared to the time they spent waiting for death. We are such sinners who need to continue repenting desperately.

There are many Christians who say they are sinners but do not know what kind of sin they committed, so they sin repeatedly. The children of Zion must not be like them. We are not righteous. We didn't do anything good in heaven before we came to this earth, so we have no right to rule over others. All we have to do is repent much and always live a contrite life.

Thinking of the Christ who took our place and died for us the mortal sinners, Paul realized that nothing in the world would be able to separate us from the love of Christ.

Ro. 8:31-39 『... Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? ... For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.』

Paul beat his body and submitted himself to God's word every day; he preached the gospel in spite of all dangers, with a determination that he would live for the Lord if he lived, and that if he died, he would die for the Lord. After he realized how great and precious God's love was, he couldn't stop being joyful and thankful to God, and he told his brothers to be joyful always, pray continually, and give thanks in all circumstances.

Remember that our sin deserves the death penalty. What does God want from us who have received the forgiveness of sins through God's deep and profound love? What is most pleasing to God is realizing His love and leading all people around the world to the kingdom of heaven by teaching them the way to have the forgiveness of sins and guiding them to repentance. This is the reason why we preach the new covenant. If we fully understand the new covenant, we should please our Father and Mother by practicing such devotion and love.

The 144,000 who are redeemed from the earth do not insist on doing things their own way but follow the Lamb wherever He goes (Rev. 14:1~5). They do not follow Him blindly, but they are willing to do everything for God, who has forgiven their sins and given them life, since they have realized that they are sinners who should have paid the price for their sin with death. We need to realize the severity of our sin, look back upon our past, come to complete repentance, and obey everything God has commanded us. I truly want you children of heaven to preach the good news of salvation to all people around the world and participate in God's great work of saving all mankind together.

Christ Ahnsahnghong Our Hope(World Mission Society Church of God, Jerusalem Mother)



According to the Bible, God has a dwelling place on this earth.

Ps. 132:13~14『For the LORD has chosen Zion, he has desired it for his dwelling: “This is my resting place for ever and ever; here I will sit enthroned, for I have desired it—』

How can we distinguish true Zion among all the other places that claim God dwells with them?

Isa. 33:20『Look upon Zion, the city of our festivals; your eyes will see Jerusalem』

As the prophet Isaiah wrote, Zion is wherever God Feasts are celebrated and we can see Jerusalem. What are God’s Feasts according to the Bible?


Leviticus 23
1. Sabbath
2. Passover
3. Unleavened Bread
4. Firstfruits (Resurrection)
5. Weeks (Pentecost)
6. Trumpets
7. Day of Atonement
8. Tabernacle


Wherever the Feasts mentioned above are celebrated, that is Zion – God’s dwelling place. The only place on earth that celebrated these Feast according to all of God’s regulations is World Mission Society Church of God. Why other churches don’t keep God’s Feasts?
Ever since AD 321 when the Sabbath was abolished, Zion had begun to be in ruins until the finally all of the Feasts of God where destroyed by Satan (Da. 7:25). If there is no Feasts of God, that mean there is no Zion, then there is no place where we can meet God for the forgiveness of Sins. This means for our salvation God has to come a second time (Heb. 9:28) If second coming Christ does not take pity on us and come down to this earth, we will completely lost only waiting for our death sentence due to the penalty of our sins (Ro. 6:23). What is our hope?

Ps. 102:16『For the LORD will rebuild Zion and appear in his glory.』

God will rebuild Zion! When?

Mic. 4:1~2『In the last days the mountain of the LORD’s temple will be established as chief among the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and peoples will stream to it. The law (Feast of God) will go out from Zion, the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.』

In the last days Zion will be rebuilt. In order for Zion to be established, what needs to exist? The Feasts of God are needed because the Feasts of God make up Zion (Isa. 33:20). Then who will establish Zion?

Ps. 87: 5『Indeed, of Zion it will be said, “This one and that one were born in her, and the Most High himself will establish her.”』

The Most High (God Almighty) Himself will establish Zion. Meaning God Himself must bring back all the Feasts that were abolished throughout history.


In the last days, the only reason why the Church of God celebrates all of the Feasts of God is because only Christ Ahnsahnghong has established the Feasts of God for the redemption of His children in these last days. This means that our Father Christ Ahnsahnghong is the MOST HIGH HIMSELF. If He does not come to this earth and endures all pain, suffering and persecution just like He did 2,000 years ago, we will not have any hope for the Kingdom of Heaven, our Home. Also, in Zion our eyes have seen Jerusalem, our Mother (Gal. 4:26)
All thanks, praise and honor to our God Christ Ahnsahnghong!

Proclaim the Glory of Jerusalem to the World


World Mission Society Church of God believes in Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother.
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" (1Co. 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.

Lk. 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 Abraham 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 Abraham'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 children 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. 1:26~27『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.

The Passover is the Seal of God 2(World Mission Society Church of God)


Only World Mission Society Church of God keeps the Passover of the new covenant which is the Seal of God.

Christ Ahnsahnghong who brought back the Seal of God from the East is the savior.


Jn. 6:27『Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. On him God the Father has placed his seal of approval.”』

In this verse we can see that on Christ is the seal of God, but now we are the ones who need the seal of God. Then how can we receive Christ in us?

Jn. 6:53~56『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. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him.

Jesus said that when we eat His flesh and drink His blood He will remain in us and we will remain in Him. According to this passage once we receive the body and the blood of Christ we can receive Christ who is the Seal of God, thus we will also have the Seal of God. Then the key to receiving the Seal of God is to receive the body and the blood of Christ, but how can we do that?

Lk. 22:13, 19~20『They left and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared for the Passover… And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.』



It was only on the Passover night that Jesus promised His body and blood, thus through the Passover we can receive the seal of God; the body and the blood of Christ. 


Now according to revelation 7:1~4 the Seal of God is being brought by and angel from the east.

Rev. 7:1~3『After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth to prevent any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree. Then I saw another angel coming up from the east (the rising of the Sun NASB), having the seal of the living God. He called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea: “Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God.”』

But in whose viewpoint should we consider the east (or the rising of the sun as in the Greek bible)? It is not definitely my viewpoint or yours, but the writers viewpoint. Now where was John when he received the revelation?

Rev. 1:9『I, John, your brother and companion in the suffering and kingdom and patient endurance that are ours in Jesus, was on the Island of Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.』

This lets us understand that the “East”, must be east of Patmos. Patmos is an island at the outskirts or Greece. And this is where John was when he saw the angel come from the east with the seal of God. The fact that John noted where he was when he wrote this prophecy and the direction the angel was coming from means that it must be of some importance.

The island of Patmos sits on the parallel 37. If we follow the Parallel 37, which Patmos sits on, all the way to a land in the east (at the rising of the sun), we can find that it crosses right through South Korea.

Now skeptics will say: “What about Japan, technically that is where the sun rises?” Now keep in mind that the seal of God is the Passover of the new covenant. As far as I know, no one from Japan has declared to preach the Passover of the new covenant.


Yet from South Korea, only Christ Ahnsahnghong has preached the truth of the Passover of the New Covenant. Therefore He is the savior who brought back the Seal of God from the East.



The Passover is the Seal of God 1(World Mission Society Church of God)


Only World Mission Society Church of God keeps the Passover of the new covenant which is the Seal of God.


1Co. 5:7~8『Get rid of the old yeast that you may be a new batch without yeast — as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. Therefore let us keep the Festival, … 』

In Heb. 11:28, it is written, “By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, so that the destroyer of the firstborn would not touch the firstborn of Israel.” This means that no destructive plague was brought upon the houses where the blood of the Passover lamb was sprinkled because it was a sign for them.

It was in 586 B.C. that Jerusalem was about to be devastated and Judah was about to be destroyed by Babylon’s attack. The prophet Jeremiah proclaimed the reason for the destruction of Judah as follows:

Jer. 11:1~4『This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD: “Listen to the terms of this covenant and tell them to the people of Judah and to those who live in Jerusalem. Tell them that this is what the LORD, the God if Israel, says: ‘Cursed is the man who does not obey the terms of this covenant — the terms I commanded your forefathers when I brought them out of Egypt, out the iron-smelting furnace.’ I said, ‘Obey me and do everything I command you, and you will be my people, and I will be your God.』

It was on the day of the Passover that God brought them out of Egypt, the covenant God declared on that day was the Passover. The Israelites did not listen to what Jeremiah testified about, so they were invaded by Babylon and destroyed. In regard to this, Jeremiah testified again as follows.

Jer. 16:10~11『“When you tell these people all this and they ask you, ‘Why has the LORD decreed such a great disaster against us? What wrong have we done? What sin have we committed against the LORD our God?’ then say to them, ‘It is because your fathers forsook me,’ declares the LORD, ‘and followed other gods and served and worshiped them. They forsook me and did not keep my law.』

The law the Israelites forsook at that time was the Passover and therefore worshiped other gods. In the same way the Bible warns through Isaiah that the world would perish because the people broke the everlasting covenant:

Isa. 24:1~6『See, the LORD is going to lay waste the earth and devastate it; he will ruin its face and scatter its inhabitants- it will be the same for priest as for people…The earth will be completely lad waste and totally plundered. The LORD has spoken this word. The earth dries up and withers, the world languishes and withers, the exalted of the earth languish. The earth is defiled by its people; they have disobeyed the laws, violated the statues and broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore a curse consumes the earth; its people must bear their guilt. Therefore earth’s inhabitants are burned up, and very few are left.』



If the breaking of the everlasting covenant is the reason why people are being destroyed, then those very few will be left because they keep the everlasting covenant. Then what is the everlasting covenant? let us see:

Heb. 13:20『May the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of Sheep, … 』

according to the scriptures, the eternal or everlasting covenant (both mean forever) has been established through blood. Then what is the only covenant in the bible established through blood and involving Jesus Christ?

Lk. 22:13, 19~20『They left and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared for the Passover… And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.』





The Passover of the new covenant is the everlasting covenant that will let us be protected in the last days. As it was from its origins, Passover is the way for plagues to “Pass-over” us, therefore it is the Seal of God.

Christ Ahnsahnghong who brought salvation(World Mission Society Church of God)



In order to realize the true 2nd coming Christ in these last days, we must take a careful study of the bible and see what are the characteristics of Christ when he appears a 2nd time and in doing so realize Him who has returned to save us.

Heb. 9:28『So Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people, and He will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for Him.』



Thus, Christ purpose for His second coming is to bring salvation. Then, what is salvation according to the Bible?

Lk. 1:77『And to bring His people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins.』


Salvation= Forgiveness of sins


Meaning 2nd coming Christ must give us Forgiveness of Sins. Let us therefore see what the Bible testifies according to being forgiven.

Eph. 1:7『In Him(Christ) we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace.』

Through Christ blood we have Forgiveness of sins! So how can we attain the Blood of Christ and thus be forgiven??

Mt. 26:17~28『...So the disciples did just as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover...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."』



On the Passover night Christ promised us His precious blood, forgiving sins. So the true salvation comes by keeping the Passover. Therefore, in order to recognize the true Second Coming Christ He must restore the truth of the Passover, New Covenant.


In these last days, Christ Ahnsahnghong is the one who has restored the truth of life and established the Passover once again.

Christ Ahnsahnghong is Second Coming Christ!

I give thanks to christ ahnsahnghong who brought us the Passover again so that we can return to our eternal home, heaven.

Of Course World Mission Society Church of God Believes in God in the Flesh!


I really hope people will realize what’s going on…before it’s too late.

Actually, God the Mother (Gal. 4:26) has to come in the flesh to fulfill the prophecy of God being with us.



Most people already heard that the prophecy of God’s first coming will be made known to us by a virgin being with child.

Isa. 7:14『Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.』

Most people have at least heard of this prophecy, it contains the great news that God is coming in the flesh! More importantly, we see the fulfillment in the New Testament.

Mt. 1:18~23『This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit … All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel”-which means, “God with us.”』

The book of Isaiah took place in history around B.C. 721, yet the prophecy fulfillment took place so many years later…but it happened. When you think of it, in order for this prophecy to be fulfilled, God had to be born as a human baby. Without God’s coming in the flesh, how can the prophecy of Immanuel(God with us) be fulfilled? Then in order for God’s word of God being with us take place, God had to come in the flesh.

There is a prophecy concerning the Heavenly Jerusalem, Our Heavenly Mother:

Rev. 21:2~4『I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”』

How much did God say He will be with His people, concerning the Heavenly Jerusalem? Of course God will refer to the Heavenly Mother as “He” because A.) Adam and Eve are one body and B.) This is the last mystery, how obvious would it be to people if God said “She”?

Anyway, “God is with us” is the meaning of Immanuel. Yet concerning the Heaven’s Mother (Gal. 4:26, Ge. 1:26~27) Jerusalem will dwell with men. (on earth!) Without Mother’s appearance in the flesh, how can this prophecy be fulfilled??

So you see, Our Heavenly Mother Jerusalem is God who has come to give us the Water of Life, as the savior of the previous age has done 2000 years ago (Jn. 4:13~14). This is why World Mission Society Church of God preaches the true Gospel of God’s coming.



Yet to those who only looked at the flesh instead of the spirit, this mistake was made:

Jn. 6:41~42『At this the Jews there began to grumble about him because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.” They said, “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, ‘I came down from heaven’?”』

Their disbelief didn’t change the fact that Jesus Christ was God in the flesh.

The Ark of the LORD (Heavenly Mother)


The Bible consists of the Old Testament and the New Testament, namely, the old covenant and the new covenant, which God has given mankind. At the center of the Old Testament-the old covenant, there was the Holy Place, and in the innermost called the Most Holy Place there was the Ark of the Covenant.

The Ark of the Covenant was a chest that contained the stone tablets of the Ten Commandments. Since it contained the law of God, it was called the Ark of the Law, and it was also referred to as the Ark of the Testimony because it contained the testimony of God. In general, it is also known as the Holy Ark.

There are many records of the events relating to the Ark of the Covenant in the Old Testament. This is evidence for the importance of the Ark of the Covenant. Some people were blessed through the Ark of the Covenant, while some were cursed and destroyed. These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us (1Co. 10:11). Through the past history, we should realize the reality of the Ark of the Covenant and take part in the blessing of salvation.


The tree of life and the Ark of the Covenant which cherubim guarded


Ge. 2:16~17『And the LORD God commanded the man, "You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die."』

Considering the history of Eden recorded in the book of Genesis, we can see that God told Adam and Eve not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, but they sinned against God by eating the forbidden fruit, whereby death came upon all mankind. However, in the Garden of Eden, where the history of death began, there was also the secret of eternal life.

Ge. 3:22~24『And the LORD God said, "The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever." . . . After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.』

In the Garden of Eden there was the tree of life; even mortal sinners could live forever if they ate from it. Then God placed cherubim and a flaming sword to guard the way to the tree of life, so that sinners wouldn't be able to eat from the tree of life without permission.

What is the reality of the tree of life which the cherubim guarded? God's laws and regulations, which had been handed down in unwritten form from Adam, were reorganized and codified in the time of Moses. Among the laws and regulations, the regulations in regard to the sanctuary show us the secret of the tree of life which the cherubim guarded.

Ex. 25:10~22『"Have them make a chest of acacia wood . . . Then put in the ark the Testimony, which I will give you. Make an atonement cover of pure gold-two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide. And make two cherubim out of hammered gold at the ends of the cover. Make one cherub on one end and the second cherub on the other; make the cherubim of one piece with the cover, at the two ends. The cherubim are to have their wings spread upward, overshadowing the cover with them. The cherubim are to face each other, looking toward the cover. Place the cover on top of the ark and put in the ark the Testimony, which I will give you. There, above the cover between the two cherubim that are over the ark of the Testimony, I will meet with you and give you all my commands for the Israelites."』

When God gave the Law to Moses, He told him to build a sanctuary. Then God commanded Moses to put the ark, which contained the tablets of the covenant, in the inner sanctuary of the temple, the Most Holy Place, and to place cherubim at the ends of the atonement cover, the top of the Ark of the Covenant. God said that He would meet with the Israelites between the two cherubim on the Ark of the Covenant and give them all His commands there. The cherubim, who had guarded the way to the tree of life, now guarded the Ark of the Covenant in the sanctuary. This implies that the Ark of the Covenant is the tree of life.


The end of those who despised the Ark of the Covenant


The Ark of the Covenant had been moved from place to place since the tabernacle was built in the desert. During that period, those who honored and served God by respecting the ark of the covenant were blessed, but those who despised God were cursed.

1Sa. 2:30『Therefore the LORD, the God of Israel, declares: ‘I promised that your house and your father's house would minister before me forever.' But now the LORD declares: ‘Far be it from me! Those who honor me I will honor, but those who despise me will be disdained.'』

Hophni and Phinehas, the two sons of Eli who was a judge of Israel, were scoundrels. They always transgressed against God's laws and regulations, despised God's sacrifices, and committed many wicked acts. In spite of God's warning, they continued to do evil, and finally they were defeated in the battle against the Philistines and the Ark of God was captured.

1Sa. 4:4~11『So the people sent men to Shiloh, and they brought back the ark of the covenant of the LORD Almighty, who is enthroned between the cherubim. And Eli's two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God. . . . the Philistines were afraid. "A god has come into the camp," they said. "We're in trouble! Nothing like this has happened before. Woe to us! Who will deliver us from the hand of these mighty gods? They are the gods who struck the Egyptians with all kinds of plagues in the desert. Be strong, Philistines! Be men, ... and fight!" So the Philistines fought, and the Israelites were defeated and every man fled to his tent. The slaughter was very great; Israel lost thirty thousand foot soldiers.』

In Israel's 40-year history in the desert, the Ark of the Covenant always went ahead of the Israelites, and it served as a shield whenever they were in trouble or faced difficulties. It was because God, dwelling between the two cherubim, fought for Israel.
Israel realized this and brought the Ark of the Covenant from Shiloh before the battle against the Philistines. Then the people shouted with a great shout, so that the earth rang, and the Philistines trembled with fear. However, Israel was greatly defeated at the battle, and Hophni and Phinehas were killed. This occurred just as God had warned Eli against his family.

1Sa. 4:17~22『The man who brought the news replied, "Israel fled before the Philistines, and the army has suffered heavy losses. Also your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God has been captured." When he mentioned the ark of God, Eli fell backward off his chair by the side of the gate. His neck was broken and he died, ... His daughter-in-law, the wife of Phinehas, ... went into labor and gave birth, but was overcome by her labor pains. As she was dying, ... She named the boy Ichabod, saying, "The glory has departed from Israel"-because of the capture of the ark of God and the deaths of her father-in-law and her husband. She said, "The glory has departed from Israel, for the ark of God has been captured."』

Thus, the Ark of God was the most important key factor affecting the fate of Israel. When the people treated the Ark of the Covenant with the utmost fear and respect, the glory of God shone brightly upon Israel, but when the Ark of the Covenant was taken away, plagues came upon all the land of Israel and the glory of God departed from Israel.

Even afterwards, those who treated the Ark of the Covenant with contempt suffered disasters continuously, as recorded in the Bible.

1Sa. 6:19~7:2『But God struck down some of the men of Beth Shemesh, putting seventy(most Hebrew manuscripts and Septuagint 50,070) of them to death because they had looked into the ark of the LORD. The people mourned because of the heavy blow the LORD had dealt them, and the men of Beth Shemesh asked, "Who can stand in the presence of the LORD, this holy God? To whom will the ark go up from here?" Then they sent messengers to the people of Kiriath Jearim, saying, "The Philistines have returned the ark of the LORD. Come down and take it up to your place." So the men of Kiriath Jearim came and took up the ark of the LORD. They took it to Abinadab's house on the hill . . . It was a long time, twenty years in all, that the ark remained at Kiriath Jearim, and all the people of Israel mourned and sought after the LORD.』

The people of Beth Shemesh broke God's rule and dared to look into the ark of God. Then God struck them down and 50,070 people were killed. Thus, there were many incidents related to the Ark of the Covenant until Solomon built the temple and put the Ark of the Covenant in it.


The ark of the covenant remained in the house of Obed-Edom, so his entire household were blessed


1Ch. 13:6~14『David and all the Israelites with him went to Baalah of Judah (Kiriath Jearim) to bring up from there the ark of God the LORD, who is enthroned between the cherubim-the ark that is called by the Name. They moved the ark of God from Abinadab's house on a new cart, ... When they came to the threshing floor of Kidon, Uzzah reached out his hand to steady the ark, because the oxen stumbled. The LORD's anger burned against Uzzah, and he struck him down because he had put his hand on the ark. So he died there before God. ... David was afraid of God that day and asked, "How can I ever bring the ark of God to me?" He did not take the ark to be with him in the City of David. Instead, he took it aside to the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite. The ark of God remained with the family of Obed-Edom in his house for three months, and the LORD blessed his household and everything he had.』

When the Israelites were about to move the Ark of the Covenant, Uzzah was killed there beside the ark because he grabbed hold of it. When David saw this, he was afraid that he couldn't move the Ark of the Covenant into the city of David; instead, he left it in the house of Obed-Edom. Because of the Ark of the Covenant, God's blessings were brought upon the house of Obed-Edom.
God didn't forgive those who broke His command and treated the Ark of the Covenant with contempt, and brought disaster upon them. On the other hand, God poured out overflowing blessings upon those who treated the Ark of the Covenant with great respect. David, who was afraid when he saw the death of Uzzah, finally realized the blessings of God that the Ark of the Covenant brought, and moved the ark into the city of David.

1Ch. 15:25~29『So David and the elders of Israel and the commanders of units of a thousand went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD from the house of Obed-Edom, with rejoicing. ... David also wore a linen ephod. So all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the LORD with shouts, with the sounding of rams' horns and trumpets, and of cymbals, and the playing of lyres and harps. As the ark of the covenant of the LORD was entering the City of David, Michal daughter of Saul watched from a window. And when she saw King David dancing and celebrating, she despised him in her heart.』

David rejoiced and danced like a little child as the Ark of the Covenant of God was entering the city of David. However, Michal didn't realize God's blessings through the Ark of the Covenant, and despised David when she saw him dancing and celebrating, so she had no children to the day of her death.

Afterward, David presented burnt offerings and fellowship offerings before God, and he appointed some of the Levites to minister before the ark of God, to make petition, to give thanks, and to praise God (1Ch. 16:1~4). In the reign of Solomon, the son of David, the temple was completed and the ark of God, which had been moved from place to place, was put in the temple. When Solomon built the temple and brought the Ark of the Covenant and all the sacred furnishings in the temple, then the glory of God filled the temple.(1Ki. 8:1~11)


Heavenly Mother is the Ark of the Covenant


In the Old Testament times, God was with His people and bestowed His grace upon them through the Ark of the Covenant. Now, let's find out what God’s teaching is through the Ark of the Covenant in this age-what the most important meaning of the ark is.

Jer. 3:14~18『"... In those days, when your numbers have increased greatly in the land," declares the LORD, "men will no longer say, 'The ark of the covenant of the LORD.' It will never enter their minds or be remembered; it will not be missed, nor will another one be made. At that time they will call Jerusalem The Throne of the LORD, and all nations will gather in Jerusalem to honor the name of the LORD. No longer will they follow the stubbornness of their evil hearts. In those days the house of Judah will join the house of Israel, and together they will come from a northern land to the land I gave your forefathers as an inheritance."』

God said that the time was coming when men would no longer say, "The ark of the covenant of God," and that Jerusalem would be called the Throne of God. The Apostle Paul testified that the Jerusalem is our Mother.

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

Ultimately, the reality of the Ark of the Covenant in the Most Holy Place, where God was enthroned between the cherubim and His glory flowed, is Jerusalem our Mother. Therefore, if anyone loses Jerusalem and She is taken away from him, God's glory is to depart from him. The people of Beth Shemesh and Uzzah were destroyed by treating the Ark of the Covenant with contempt, while the family of Obed-Edom was blessed by treating the Ark of the Covenant with great respect. This history teaches us how precious Mother is to us.

As Solomon's temple was the place where the Ark of the Covenant was finally placed, so our body is the temple where the ark of God dwells in this age.

1Co. 3:16~17『Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you? If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him; for God's temple is sacred, and you are that temple.』


Now, we are built as God's temple. So, we should have our Mother, who is the tree of life and the Ark of the Covenant that the cherubim guard, within us. If one does not receive Mother, he is the one who does not have the Ark of the Covenant in him. If anyone departs from the faith in Mother, God's glory departs from him.

The temple, where God's glory has departed from, is nothing no matter how gorgeous it is. God said, "Those who honor me I will honor, but those who despise me will be disdained." Keeping these words of God in mind, we should honor Mother and become God's temple where the ark of God dwells. Let us not be like Hophni and Phinehas who did evil so that the Ark of the Covenant was taken away, but be like Obed-Edom who kept the Ark of God in his house, so he and his entire household were blessed. Like him, let's have Jerusalem our Mother-the reality of the Ark of the Covenant-in our hearts and honor Her, so that we can always receive God's blessings. I hope you all the beautiful children of Zion will be the temple, filled with God's glory, and proclaim Mother to all people around the world.

The World Mission Society Church of God has the Root of David


There are so many people in the world that want to know the truth in the Bible but don't know how or what to follow., There are approximately 850 different denominations of Christianity that all differ in opinion on how to follow the Bible, God’s word. Out of all the Churches, how do we know what the true is? God knows the end from the beginning, “I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.’”(Isa. 46:10)

The reason why so many people feel hopeless in this world when it comes to following the true God that is in the Bible is because the Bible would be sealed until the time of the end. God already showed that in the book of Daniel which was written in 605 B.C.

Da. 12:4『“But you, Daniel, roll up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end. Many will go here and there to increase knowledge.”』

Da. 12:9『“He replied, “Go your way, Daniel, because the words are closed up and sealed until the time of the end.』

What is the scroll referring to in the Bible?

Lk. 4:16~17『He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. He stood up to read, and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written:』
According to this verse the scroll was Isaiah. At that time only the Old Testament existed! This proves that the scroll in the Bible is referring to the Bible. Then we can see that the Bible is not physically sealed. However, does anybody out there really understand and know what God is telling us through all the parables in the scripture? It has been spiritually sealed until the time of the end according to Daniel.

Am. 8:11『“The days are coming,” declares the Sovereign LORD, “when I will send a famine through the land-not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the LORD.』

In the Last days who can only unseal the Bible?

Rev. 5:1~5『Then I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne a scroll 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. 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.”』
The only one that can open the scroll(Bible) is the Root of David! No angel, no human on this earth, not even Satan from under the earth can unseal the Bible. Then, the Root of David has to be God Almighty!

Rev. 22:16『“I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star.”』

Jesus Christ is the Root of David. According to the prophecy, “the time of the end” that the Bible will be unsealed cannot be talking about 1st coming Christ! This is speaking of Second Coming Christ! But, how do we know who the true Second Coming Christ is? There has to be a sign?

Isa. 55:3『Give ear and come to me; listen, that you may live. I will make an everlasting covenant with you, my faithful love promised to David.』

The Root of David is the Second Coming Christ who has to have the everlasting covenant with him! What is the everlasting covenant?

Heb. 13:20『Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep,』

The everlasting(eternal) covenant is made through blood. But, what does this mean?

Mt. 26:26~28『While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.” Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave 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.”』

But only on which night did Jesus Christ promise that the bread was his body and the wine was his blood?

Mt. 26:17~19『On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?” He replied, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, ‘The Teacher says: My appointed time is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.’” So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.』



It was only on the Passover night; Jesus promised us his flesh and blood through the Passover Feast! Why did Jesus Christ want us to keep the Passover?

Jn. 6:53~54『Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, 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 them up at the last day.”』

Jesus Christ wanted to give us eternal life through the Passover! According to prophecy Second Coming Christ will come to bring salvation because the Passover was abolished in 325A.D. Who can go to heaven without the Passover? Nobody!

Heb. 9:28『so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.』




Christ Ahnsahnghong is the only one who came and preached the Passover in 1948. He is the one who brought back the feast of the Passover! Only the Root of David Second Coming Christ can bring back the Passover and unseal the Bible! Christ Ahnsahnghong is Second Coming Christ, God Almighty and the Root of David!

World Mission Society Church of God is established by Christ Ahnsahnghong, the Root of David. So Only in this Church, we can know the truth of the Bible. Let’s study the Bible in World Mission Society Church of God, believe in Christ Ahnsahnghong & Heavenly Mother and receive eternal life.

Elohim God: The Father and Mother of Our Spirits.

Elohim

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about the Hebrew word. For other uses, see Elohim (disambiguation).

Elohim (אֱלהִים) is a Hebrew word which expresses concepts of divinity or deity, notably used as a name of God in Judaism. It is apparently related to the Northwest Semitic word ʾēl “god”. Within Hebrew, it is morphologically a plural, in use both as a true plural with the meaning “angels, gods, rulers” and as a “plural intensive” with singular meaning, referring to a god or goddess, and especially to the single God of Israel. The associated singular Eloah (אלוה) occurs only in poetry and in late Biblical Hebrew, in imitation of Aramaic usage.

In the Torah, the word sometimes acts as a singular noun in Hebrew grammar, and is then generally understood to denote the single God of Israel, while in other cases, it acts as an ordinary plural and refers to the polytheistic notion of multiple gods. The notion of divinity underwent radical changes throughout the period of early Israeliteidentity. The ambiguity of the term Elohim is the result of such changes, cast in terms of “vertical translatability” by Smith (2008), i.e. the re-interpretation of the gods of the earliest recalled period as the national god of the monolatrism as it emerged in the 7th to 6th century BC in the Kingdom of Judah and during the Babylonian captivity, and further in terms of monotheism by the emergence of Rabbinical Judaism in the 2nd century AD.

Etymology

The term is clearly related to Northwest Semitic ʾēl “god”, but it contains the addition of the heh as third radical to the biconsonantal root. Discussions of the etymology ofelohim essentially concern this expansion. An exact cognate outside of Hebrew is found in Ugaritic ʾlhm, the family of El, the creator god and chief deity of the Canaanite pantheon, and in Arabic ʾilāh “god, deity”. Eloah (the extended root ʾlh) does not have any clear etymology. The word ʾel itself is usually derived from a root meaning “to be strong”. Joel Hoffman derives it from the common Canaanite wordelim, with the mater lectionis heh inserted to distinguish the Israelite God from other gods. He argues that elohim thus patterns with Abram/Abraham and Sarai/Sarah.

It is important to take note of this pattern, because the Bible speaks about Abraham and Sarah to pattern, reflect, or serve as a shadow to God Elohim. Through the Bible, all things testify to Christ and the existance of God the Father and God the Mother. Then, let’s see in the next blog evidence proving Elohim Father and Mother through the history and prophecy of Abraham and Sarah.
