The Order of Melchizedek(Christ Ahnsahnghong)


Only Christ Ahnsahnghong has followed in the order of Melchizedek.
Christ Ahnsahnghong who fulfilled the prophecies of the Bible is Second Coming Christ.

Do you know who is Melchizedek is in the Bible? Through the Melchizedek we can understand why Christ Ahnsahnghong is truely our God and second coming Christ. And why we should believe in Christ Ahnsahnghong in the last age.

The Bible is a book of prophecy, testifying about Christ. Among the many prophecies about Christ, let’s recognize the Second Coming Christ, Ahnsahnghong, through the character of Melchizedek. The order of Melchizedek reveals that Ahnsahnghong is God. We sincerely hope that you will understand the Christ, who has been hidden for ages, so that you may receive salvation.

In B.C. 1920, Melchizedek, king of Salem, was the only priest who blessed Abraham through bread and wine; he had no father, or mother, or genealogy.(Heb. 7:1~3) The Bible prophesies that the Second Coming Christ will follow in the order of Melchizedek. We must recognize the true Christ, who follows in the order of Melchizedek, from the many men who claim that they are the Second Coming Christ.

Throughout the world, only Christ Ahnsahnghong has followed in the order of Melchizedek. Therefore, the members of the Church of God receive Him as their God.

Then, what is the order of Melchizedek?

Is Ahnsahnghong whom the members of the Church of God believe in really the Second Coming Christ, who came in the order of Melchizedek?

The Origin of Melchizedek

Heb. 5:11 We have much to say about this, but it is hard to explain because you are slow to learn.

Why was it hard for Apostle Paul to explain about Melchizedek, even though he had much to say about him? First of all, let’s study the origin of Melchizedek.

Ge. 14: 18~20 Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High, and he blessed Abram, saying...Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.

Melchizedek, king of Salem, received Abraham who was returning from defeating the enemies. Melchizedek blessed Abraham through bread and wine, and then, Abraham gave him a tenth of everything. Only those who are in the high position can give to people the blessing. As we know the faith of Abraham also received the blessing from Melchizedek.

And who can get a tenth? Only God. Isn't it? But Abraham who believes in God in strong faith gave to Melchizedek. What does it mean? Does not Abraham know who is God?

It is because Melchizedek represents God.

Let's study more.

When we study the Bible, we must keep in mind that the Old Testament is a copy and a shadow of the New Testament. Melchizedek, mentioned in the book of Genesis, also served as the shadow of a reality which was to come.

Jesus Came in the Order of Melchizedek

Let’s find out, through the Bible, who the reality of Melchizedek is.

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


In the Old Testament, the physical Melchizedek blessed Abraham through bread and wine, and in the New Testament, Jesus the spiritual Melchizedek blessed His people with eternal life through the Passover bread and wine. Therefore, we can understand that the character Melchizedek represents Jesus.

Heb. 5:8~10 Although he was a son, he ... was designated by God to be high priest in the order of Melchizedek.
This verse makes it clear that Jesus is the spiritual Melchizedek.

The Explanations About Melchizedek

Apostle Paul said that it was hard for him to explain about Melchizedek. We can find the reason why in the verse below.

Heb. 7:1~4 This Melchizedek ... Without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, like the Son of God he remains a priest forever.

1) "Without father or mother" The Bible acknowledges only those who believe in God as the father or the mother of a man (Matt. 12: 50). Thus, the words, "(Melchizedek is) without father or mother," mean that the spiritual Melchizedek was to be born among unbelievers. As you know, however, Jesus was born of believers: Joseph and Mary.

2) "Without genealogy" In the Bible, "genealogy" refers to the twelve tribes of Israel. The words, "(Melchizedek is) without genealogy," mean that the spiritual Melchizedek would be born among the Gentiles; however, Jesus was born of the tribe of Judah (Matt. 1:1).
These were the characteristics of Melchizedek that Apostle Paul felt were too hard to explain.


The Second Coming Jesus, Ahnsahnghong, in the Order of Melchizedek

In order to fulfill the prophecies of Melchizedek, Jesus is to come a second time. The Bible says that Jesus will come a second time.

Heb. 9:28 ... he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.


The Second Coming Jesus will fulfill the prophecies of Melchizedek.
1) He will bless us with eternal life through the Passover bread and wine.
2) He will be born among unbelievers ("without father or mother").
3) He will be born of Gentiles ("without genealogy").
4) He is God ("without beginning of days or end of life").


Isa. 25:6 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 ... he will swallow up death forever ... In that day they will say, "Surely this is our God; we trusted in him, and he saved us."

Before the Day of Judgment comes, please accept Ahnsahnghong, the Second Coming Christ, who fulfilled the prophecies of Melchizedek. Christ Ahnsahnghong blessed us with eternal life through the bread and wine of the Passover. Therefore, He is our Savior.

Even if a man performs a great miracle or wonder, if he has not come in the order of Melchizedek, he cannot be the Second Coming Christ. Thus, although a man may be humble in appearance, if he follows in the order of Melchizedek, he is the Second Coming Christ.

Please recognize the Second Coming Christ through the words of the Bible so that you may receive salvation. The one who follows in the order of Melchizedek is the true God, our Savior. Let us believe in Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly mother who was established by Christ Ahnsahnghong according to the Bible and be saved.

The City of Refuge and the Earth

According to Moses' law, a man who kills someone accidently may flee to the city of refuge and save his life. He must stay there until the death of the high priest. He could never be freed with a ransom.
However, a man who kills someone intentionally must be put to death. He can never save his life, even if he flees to the city of refuge.
Nu 35:9-34 Select some towns to be your cities of refuge, to which a person who has killed someone accidentally may flee.
This law has something to do with our salvation. Today we will study the prophetical relationship between the city of refuge and the earth.

The law of the city of refuge is one of the prophecies to be fulfilled by Jesus. Let's find out how Jesus accomplished this law. First, we need to find out who the high priest stands for.
Da 9:24 To anoint the most holy [most holy one].
The prophet Daniel said the most holy one would be anointed. Let's find out who he is.
Heb 5:8 … (Jesus) was designated by God to be high priest in the order of Melchizedek.
Jesus was anointed as high priest as prophesied. The Bible testifies that we are all sinners from heaven who came down to this earth. Here on earth we are aliens and strangers.
Heb 11:13 They admitted that they were aliens and strangers on earth. … they were longing for a better country―a heavenly one.
We are sinners who accidently committed sin against God in heaven and fled to the earth temporarily for the sake of our lives. This earth is the spiritual city of refuge where heavenly sinners stay for a while before they return home, heaven.
How can we go back to our home? We can find the answer through the law of the city of refuge. Accidental murderers could return to their own property only through the sacrifice of the high priest. We, the accidental murderers from heaven, can go back to our heavenly home only through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the high priest. We can never be freed with a ransom.
1 Pe 1:18 It was not perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed. … but with the precious blood of Christ (the high priest).
Eph 1:7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins.
We can receive redemption and return to our heavenly home only through the blood of Jesus, the heavenly high priest. Nothing else enables us go back to our heavenly home.
The bottom line is Jesus' blood. How can we receive Jesus' blood? Let's find out.
Heb 5:10 And was designated by God to be high priest in the order of Melchizedek.
Jesus came in the order of Melchizedek and gave us the forgiveness of our sins through the Passover bread and wine. They represent the flesh and blood of Jesus, who is the Passover sacrifice.

In the last days Second Coming Christ Ahnsahnhong appeared as the high priest in the order of Melchizedek. We can go back to heaven, our home, only through His Passover sacrifice. Believe in Him and receive redemption to go back to our home. God bless you.

Blessings Through Tithing

According to the history in the Garden of Eden, Satan led Adam and Eve to disobey God's command. Satan still works to deceive God's people. Today we will study about tithing, one of God's commands. Satan keeps God's people from obeying God's law of tithes. What must we follow, God's command or Satan's deceitfulness?

First of all, let's study whom tithes belong to.
Mal 3:7 Ever since the time of your forefathers you have turned away from my decrees and have not kept them. … Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse.
According to the Bible, tithing is God's command. Satan deceives people into not giving tithes. What will happen to us when we are overcome by Satan? We will face God's punishment on the last day.
To overcome the deceitfulness of Satan, we must understand why God wants us to give tithes. Tithing gives us heavenly blessings. God wants to give us the eternal blessing of the kingdom of heaven through tithing.
Only who is worthy to receive our tithes then? Let's find out.
Lev 27:30 A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the soil or fruit from the trees belongs to the LORD; it is holy to the LORD.
A tithe of everything belongs to God, so we must give a tithe to Him.
How can we tithe only to God? Let's find out.
Ge 14:17 Abram gave him [Melchizedek] a tenth of everything.
God wants us to give tithes to Him. Here Abraham offered his tithes to Melchizedek. Whom does Melchizedek signify then?
Heb 7:1 This Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High. … and Abraham gave him a tenth of everything. … like a Son of God he remains a priest forever.
Melchizedek stands for Jesus, God our Savior. We must tithe to Jesus, Melchizedek, who blesses us through the Passover bread and wine.

It is the true offering when tithes are offered to Melchizedek, our God. In these last days you can enter the kingdom of heaven only when you recognize Melchizedek and give tithes to Him. God bless you.

The Law of Tithe

Tithing is an offering to God, a tenth of one's income or property. It is not worldly substance, but a holy offering like a lamb or a goat in the time of Moses.
We must honor God by offering our firstfruits. God will bless us, so that our barns will be filled to overflowing.
Pr 3:9 Honor the LORD with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing.
The origin of tithing can be found in Genesis. Abraham the father of faith shows us a good example of tithing to God. After defeating his enemies to rescue Lot and returning home, Abraham met Melchizedek. Melchizedek blessed Abraham through bread and wine and Abraham gave Melchizedek a tenth of everything―a tenth of all the goods he had obtained in battle.
Ge 14:17 Abram gave him [Melchizedek] a tenth of everything.

Some say we don't have to observe tithing nowadays. However, Jesus teaches us that we must practice it because it belongs to God.
Mt 22:21 Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and Give to God what is God's.
Jesus wants us to give to God what is God's. Let's figure out what belongs to God through the Bible.
Lev 27:30 A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the soil or fruit from the trees belongs to the LORD; it is holy to the LORD.
Tithes belong to God. We must give tithes to God as Jesus commands. Let's find out Jesus' correct teachings of tithing in the Bible.
Mt 23:23 You should have practiced the latter [justice, mercy …], without neglecting the former [a tithe].
We must tithe to God cheerfully, not reluctantly.
2 Co 9:7 Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
cf.) "The true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth" (Jn 4:23).
What God wants is our heart to be with God, not our possessions.
2 Co 12:14 What I want is not your possessions but you.
God wants us to store up for ourselves treasures in heaven through tithing. That is what God really wants from us.
Mt 6:19-20 Store up for yourselves treasures in heaven.
Mal 3:7-12 See if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it.
Through tithing God gives us much blessing. We can receive heavenly blessing by God's precious law of tithe.

Abraham gave a tenth of everything and he was blessed by God (Ge 14:17-; Ge 12:3). Jacob vowed to give a tithe to God, and he was also blessed by practicing tithes (Ge 28:22). Likewise, God will bless us when we practice giving tithes.
To give tithes these days can be difficult. It is a testimony of your love and faith in Christ when you "obey" tithing. Your obedience shows that you really love Christ, just as Abraham did long ago. Have a strong faith in God's promise and you will surely be blessed by God. God bless you.

About Melchizedek

The Bible is a book of prophecies about Jesus. Today we will share God's grace, studying the Second Coming Jesus through Melchizedek.
Heb 5:11 We have much to say about this [Melchizedek], but it is hard to explain because you are slow to learn.
Why was it hard for the Apostle Paul to explain Melchizedek, even though he had much to say about him? We need to study the origin of Melchizedek to understand what Paul meant by this.

Ge 14:17-20 Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High, and he blessed Abram.
The Old Testament is only a copy and shadow of the New Testament (Heb 10:1). Melchizedek served as a shadow of the reality to come. Let's find out through the Bible who is the reality of Melchizedek.
Mt 26:26-28 Jesus took bread … Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them.
Just as the natural Melchizedek blessed Abraham through the bread and wine, so Jesus, the spiritual Melchizedek, blessed His people with eternal life through the Passover bread and wine. Jesus blesses us in the order of Melchizedek.
Heb 5:8-10 And was designated by God to be high priest in the order of Melchizedek.
Jesus is Melchizedek. It's plain and simple for them to comprehend. Why, then, did the Apostle Paul say that it was hard to explain Melchizedek?
Heb 7:1-4 This Melchizedek … Without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, like the Son of God he remains a priest forever.
There were two points that he felt were hard to explain about Mechizedek.
1) "Without father or mother" … Jesus called 'believers' His family members (Mt 12:50). "Without father or mother" tells us that Melchizedek must be born among unbelievers. Jesus was born of believers, Joseph and Mary. This is the first thing that the Apostle Paul felt was hard to explain about Melchizedek.
2) "Without genealogy" … Genealogy is the record of a family tree. Israel has 12 tribes and Jesus belonged to the tribe of Judah. He surely had a genealogy (Mt 1:1). "Without genealogy" definitely shows us that Melchizedek should be born among the Gentiles, thus not belonging to 12 tribes of Israel. This is the second thing which was hard to explain about Melchizedek at that time.

Jesus will appear a second time as Melchizedek and fulfill the prophecy in the last days.
Heb 9:28 He will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.
What are the conditions that the second Melchizedek must satisfy?
1) He will be born among unbelievers (without father or mother).
2) He will come out of the Gentiles (without genealogy).
3) He will bless us with eternal life through the Passover bread and wine.
4) He must be God (without beginning of days or end of life).
The Prophet Isaiah prophesied that the Second Coming Jesus, God, would come as Melchizedek and give us eternal life through the Passover in the last days.
Isa 25:6-9 The LORD Almighty will prepare a feast of rich food for all peoples, a banquet of aged (long hidden) wine … will swallow up death forever … In that day they will say, "Surely this is our God."
It is Christ Ahnsahnghong who blesses us with eternal life through the Passover bread and wine long hidden for over 1,600 years. Christ Ahnsahnghong is the second Melchizedek and God Himself without beginning of days or end of life. God bless you.
