[WMSCOG] Salvation Is Given to Those Who Celebrate the Feasts

Christ Ahnsahnghong restored God's seven feasts divided into three festival periods.
Only World Mission Society Church of God keep the God’s feasts so WMSCOG is Zion. 
To enter the kingdom of heaven, we have to keep the feasts of God in Zion.


The Bible likens the kingdom of heaven to a very precious treasure hidden in a field (Mt. 13:44~46). Jesus said that when a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. Through His words, we can understand how great and precious our salvation is.
As the people of Zion, we are to treat all God's feasts of the new covenant like treasure and celebrate them. Now, let's confirm through the Bible that only those who celebrate the feasts of God are given the heavenly glory with which they can freely visit the galaxies in the infinite universe, the everlasting kingdom.

Temporary visit to the universe and eternal visit to it

Most people in the world have a yearning for traveling outward into space. Those who have ever visited the outer space said the same thing that they could not deny the existence of God the Creator because the starry heavens in the universe were so beautiful.

I heard on the news recently that a travel agency in the United States received applicants for a trip into space: It would cost them over one million dollars to go round the moon once and return to the earth; even though it required such a great deal of money, there were many applicants wishing to enjoy the ecstasy of seeing the universe one time.

Even if they win the tickets to the universe in the face of fierce competition, they will just visit the space station and the moon or fly around the earth, worrying about an accident that might occur. The distance between them is just like the distance from one point to another in the universe. To visit such places one time, they will willingly spend an astronomical amount of money.

Hearing such news, we come to reconsider whether we've fully understood the value of salvation, whether we've been insensible to the value of the blessing given to us because it is so great. If just one trip into space is valuable enough to spend so much money, how much more valuable is the everlasting travel into the universe! We cannot imagine how great its value is.

God has promised us that we will travel around the spacious universe forever and ever. Just because we believe in God and keep His laws, God has freely given us grace and made us good enough to enter the kingdom of heaven. How great the value of the kingdom of heaven is!

What if a person promises to give you one million dollars? You will make every effort to get the money; you will do whatever he wants you to do, won't you? However, its value cannot compare with the value of the salvation which God gives. We must not lose such a great blessing by failing to endure temporary difficulties like Esau. Instead, we are to know the value of salvation and give thanks always, that we will surely enter the kingdom of God.

Relationship between God's people-His temple-and the feasts

The Bible tells us that celebrating the feasts of God is a necessary condition for entering the kingdom of heaven, and that those who celebrate the feasts are given a great blessing as follows:

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.』

The Bible describes us as the temple of God. This implies that the temple is where the covenant of God exists. The temple is a place where we offer sacrifice to God in accordance with the words of the covenant given by God: burnt offering for the Sabbath and offerings for the appointed feasts.

So we are to become the temple of God where the feasts are celebrated, in order to attain salvation and reach the heavenly kingdom. In the Old Testament times, the blood sacrifice of animals was offered in the temple, and in the New Testament times it has been changed into a spiritual sacrifice-the worship in spirit and truth. Now, each one of us, not a visible building itself, is the temple of God. Every saint, the temple of God, is to worship on the weekly Sabbath and also at the seven annual feasts three times a year.

If no worship is offered in the temple at God's appointed times, it doesn't need to exist anymore. There are numerous churches around the world, and many who claim to believe in God are confident that they will enter the kingdom of heaven. However, their faith is vain unless they keep the feasts of God, even though they are so diligent in living out their faith through their own worship. If they keep Sunday and Christmas originated with sun worship, they are already the temple of the sun, not the temple of God.

Through the Old Testament history, we can see that God was enraged when His temple was full of idols and abominable things. If there is no covenant and no celebration of God's feasts including the Sabbath in the temple-each individual Christian, the temple is already devastated and defiled. God said He would destroy the temple, the person. Can he be saved then? Never. The Bible clearly tells us the final outcome of the false churches that do not celebrate the feasts of God.

God gathers those who celebrate His appointed feasts

Then, what will be the outcome for God's people who offer holy worship to God through the feasts? Let's take a look at Zephaniah 3.

Zep. 3:14~20 『Sing, O Daughter of Zion; shout aloud, O Israel! Be glad and rejoice with all your heart, O Daughter of Jerusalem! ...The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing. The sorrows for the appointed feasts I will remove from you ["I will gather those who grieve about the appointed feasts," NASB]; they are a burden and a reproach to you. At that time I will deal with all who oppressed you; I will rescue the lame and gather those who have been scattered. I will give them praise and honor in every land where they were put to shame. At that time I will gather you; at that time I will bring you home. I will give you honor and praise among all the peoples of the earth when I restore your fortunes before your very eyes," says the LORD.』

God says that He will gather those who celebrate the appointed feasts and give them honor and praise among all the peoples of the earth.

Those who grieve about the feasts and make every effort to celebrate them-God quiets them with His love and saves them. We should be proud of keeping the feasts of God with faith and work for the gospel more devotedly. Though we often fail to feel the grace of God because it is so great, God who never lies will give us His people, who keep the feasts, all the blessings He has promised us.

Zep. 2:1~3 『Gather together, gather together, O shameful nation, before the appointed time arrives and that day sweeps on like chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD comes upon you, before the day of the LORD's wrath comes upon you. Seek the LORD, all you humble of the land, you who do what he commands. Seek righteousness, seek humility; perhaps you will be sheltered on the day of the LORD's anger.』

The Bible says that all the humble of the earth, who obey God's commands, will be sheltered on the day of His anger. God's promise to rescue His people from disasters is fulfilled through His feasts.

The promise of salvation contained in the feasts

Since we are God's people as His temple, we must keep all His feasts. The Bible clearly testifies that without feasts there is no salvation.

Zec. 14:16~19 『Then the survivors from all the nations that have attacked Jerusalem will go up year after year to worship the King, the LORD Almighty, and to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles. If any of the peoples of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD Almighty, they will have no rain. If the Egyptian people do not go up and take part, they will have no rain. The LORD will bring on them the plague he inflicts on the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles. This will be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles.』

The Feast of Tabernacles is one of God's seven feasts divided into three festival periods-it is the seventh and the last of all the feasts. The Bible says that those who do not celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles will suffer disasters.

We cannot be saved nor enter the kingdom of heaven without keeping the feasts, can we?

God has promised us the forgiveness of sins and eternal life through the feast of the Passover on which disasters pass over.

Jn. 6:53~54 『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."』

Mt. 26:17~19, 26~28 『 ... 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. ...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."』

Jesus says that he who eats His flesh and drinks His blood will have eternal life. He calls the Passover bread His body, and the wine His blood. We eat Jesus' flesh and drink His blood through the feast of the Passover.

Putting the above Biblical words together, we come to understand that only he who celebrates the Passover can partake of eternal life by eating Jesus' flesh and drinking His blood and he who doesn't keep it has no life in him. In other words, there is no salvation, no eternal life, for those who do not observe the feasts.

Salvation is for the people of Zion who celebrate the feasts

God has established Zion the city of the appointed feasts and brought us into Zion. We are to offer up to our heavenly Father and Mother the sacrifice of joy, thanksgiving and praise every day.

Isa. 33:20~24 『Look upon Zion, the city of our festivals; 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. There the LORD will be our Mighty One. It will be like a place of broad rivers and streams. No galley with oars will ride them, no mighty ship will sail them. For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; it is he who will save us. ... No one living in Zion will say, "I am ill"; and the sins of those who dwell there will be forgiven.』

World Mission Society Church of God is Zion. 

God forgives the sins of those who dwell in Zion, the place where they celebrate their religious festivals, and saves them. Salvation is given only to the people who keep the feasts. So God says that He will gather those who grieve about the appointed feasts and give them praise and honor among all the peoples of the earth. And He also says that those who celebrate the feasts will escape disasters but those who don't keep the feasts will suffer them.

God says that salvation comes out of Zion, the city of the appointed feasts. But the devil deceives people by saying that they don't have to keep the feasts or if they keep them they cannot be saved. We must not be deceived by such nonsense. Everything taught against God's word is nothing but a deceitful lie of the devil. God tells us to watch out for false prophets, saying that by their fruit we will recognize them (Mt. 7:15~20). By their deeds against God's word, we should recognize their identity.

Let's confirm whether or not the people, who celebrate the feasts, can escape all disasters and be saved at God's appointed time.

Rev. 14:1~4 『Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads. ...And they sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth. These are those who did not defile themselves with women, for they kept themselves pure. They follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They were purchased from among men and offered as firstfruits to God and the Lamb.』

In Zion the city of the appointed feasts are the 144,000 redeemed from the earth. In vision, the Apostle John saw the people with God in the place of the appointed feasts, rejoicing in their joy at deliverance. Salvation cannot come out of the place where there is no feast of God. Many believe that they can receive blessing and salvation even in a place without the feasts, because they lack knowledge of the Bible. However, there is no promise of heaven in such a place; what waits for them is only a curse, the punishment of hell. We are to worship God in spirit and truth only in Zion the place of God's appointed feasts, fully understanding the value of the salvation which God has granted to us.

Before long, those who celebrate the feasts of God will share in the glorious salvation, freely traveling into the universe. Let's preach this good news of salvation to all people around the world, so that they can also go to such a spacious and beautiful world together. They desire to travel to the moon one time even by spending a great deal of money-over one million dollars. Let them know that there is a free ticket not only to the moon but also to other planets such as Mars, Venus and the Bear.

We are sure of our salvation because we dwell in the spiritual Zion, the city of God's appointed feasts. Giving thanks and praise to God for giving us the feasts and the promise of eternal glory, we shall joyfully obey the good will of God.

[World Mission Society Church of God] Counterattack the false insistence that the Sabbath and the Feasts were abolished quoting Gal4:10~11.

ChristAhnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother came to the earth and restored the feasts of the New Covenant so World Mission Society Church of God keeps the feasts of the New Covenant.

Only World Mission Society Church of God keeps the Sabbath of the New Covenant and the Passover of the New Covenant.

To slander World Mission Society Church of God, some people insist that we do not need to keep the special days like the Passover and the Sabbath, quoting Gal. 4:10.

Gal 4:10~11 『You are observing special days and months and seasons and years! I fear for you, that somehow I have wasted my efforts on you.』

But their insistence is not true.

If their insistence is right, why they keep some day like Sunday worship, Christmas and Thanksgiving Day?

Their insistence is contradictory to their behavior.

In Gal 4:10~11, the special days, months, seasons and years which Apostle Paul said mean the feasts of Old Covenant.

Therefore, we do not need keep the feasts of Old Covenant in the Age of New testament.

However, we have to keep the feasts of New Covenant like Jesus and Apostles.

YouAre Observing Special Days and Months and Seasons and Years! – World Mission Society Church of God

[WMSCOG] The Sabbath and God’s Salvation 1

WorldMission Society Church of God worships on Saturday. Why? ElohimGod rested on the seventh day after Their creating work and commanded God’s people to keep the Sabbath (the seventh day) holy. Then which day is the seventh day? That is Saturday!! God’s people must keep the Sabbath because that is God’s command and God promised the salvation on that. So Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother came to the earth in this age to restored the Sabbath which disappeared by Satan. Today only WorldMission Society Church of God keeps the Sabbath perfectly. Come WMSCOG, and let’s keep the Sabbath to enter the kingdom of heaven.  

If we look around us, there are truly precious things. However, as we always come in contact with those things, we often forget their importance and neglect them. It is the same with the Sabbath among the many truths which God has taught us.

When God created all things in the beginning, He worked for six days and rested from all His work on the seventh day, and He especially made the seventh day holy. 3,500 years ago, when God declared the law, He personally wrote the words, "Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy," on the stone tablets of the Ten Commandments. It is not too much to say that the Sabbath is closely related to salvation and it is an absolutely essential part of our salvation.

Nevertheless, many people today do not keep the Sabbath, neither knowing the will of God nor understanding the way of salvation God provides. This is the age of prophecy when God's judgment is near and the kingdom of heaven is also close at hand, just as Jesus said, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near." Thinking of the kingdom of God, let's take some time to carefully study the Biblical teachings about the Sabbath.

It is only when we obey God's word that we can enter the kingdom of heaven

We should obey and preach everything God has taught us-from the smallest things to the greatest. It is because every word of God is related to our salvation.

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

The Bible tells us that the goal of our faith is the salvation of our souls. Among many things God has taught us in regard to salvation, there is the Sabbath.

Heb. 3:18 『And to whom did God swear that they would never enter his rest if not to those who disobeyed?』

Here, obedience refers to "obedience to God's word." Through the Bible, God makes us fully realize the fact that those who do not obey God's word cannot enter eternal rest God has prepared-the kingdom of heaven-in the end.

Ps. 3:7~8 『Arise, O LORD! Deliver me, O my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked. From the LORD comes deliverance. May your blessing be on your people. Selah』

Salvation only comes from God. So if we do not obey the word of God who is the source of salvation and has control over our salvation, it is no different than giving up our salvation. God has already made known to us His purpose and plan for our salvation through the Bible.

If we truly look for salvation and hope for heaven, we must follow God's word. That's why the Bible tells us not to add to or subtract from the words of the Bible which is able to make us wise for salvation (2Ti. 3:15; Rev. 22:18~19).

The "Sabbath," a command of God

First, let's consider how God relates the Sabbath, one of His commands, to our salvation. At the time of Moses, 3,500 years ago, God declared the Sabbath as the fourth commandment of the Ten Commandments.

Ex. 20:8 『"Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy."』

God personally wrote these words on the tablets of stone. Those who do not obey these words cannot enter God's rest, the eternal kingdom of heaven.

We can confirm this fact through Hebrews 3. Every word of God is for our salvation. So we must not forget that God's teaching about the Sabbath is also absolutely related to our salvation.

This Sabbath becomes a sign of the "rest of the woman's offspring" when God finds them (Rev. 12:17; 14:12; Eze. 20:12). When God confirms whether someone is His real child or not, He will separate him from His children if he does not have the spiritual DNA called the"Sabbath," even though he apparently looks like a Christian.

"Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy." This is not merely a law, but it is the command of God our Father and the request of God our Mother, our Elohim who want everything to go well for us, Their heavenly children. We must obey the words of our Heavenly Parents, as Their children. Another thing we have to consider carefully is that the Sabbath was already established even before the Age of the Law-from the beginning of the world.

Ge. 2:1~3 『Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array. By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.』

The Biblical Sabbath is the seventh day, which corresponds to Saturday. To those who commemorate the power of the Creator and believe in Elohim the Creators, the Sabbath established by God is a very important and meaningful day. As a country's national holiday is important to its people but it is just an ordinary day to people in other countries, so the Sabbath is a truly precious day to God's children but it is meaningless to people who are not God's children.

Thus, the Sabbath serves as a sign to clearly distinguish between the people of God and those who are not.

Dt. 5:9~15 『"... Observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy, as the LORD your God has commanded you. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your ox, your donkey or any of your animals, nor the alien within your gates, so that your manservant and maidservant may rest, as you do. Remember that you were slaves in Egypt and that the LORD your God brought you out of there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm. Therefore the LORD your God has commanded you to observe the Sabbath day."』

The Sabbath is a command of God. To lead human beings to the way of salvation, God has given them the Sabbath, a blessed day. So Jesus kept the Sabbath as a holy law, and Jesus' disciples and their disciples also kept the Sabbath, considering it as an important part of their life of faith. We can see this history of the early Church in the Bible (Lk. 4:16; Ac. 16:13; 17:2; 18:4).

[World Mission Society Church of God] The Sabbath

The Sabbath of the Bible is Saturday not Sunday.

Only World Mission Society Church of God keeps the Sabbath day, the memorial day of the Creator, as the teachings of the Bible.

Christ Ahnsahnghong restored the Sabbath which Jesus and His Apostles Kept.

The Sabbath is surely the teachings of the early church, but nowadays many churches don’t keep the Sabbath. The worship day is surely the Sabbath. Only World Mission Society Church of God keeps the Sabbath. Let's find out the Origin, sincere meaning and blessing of the Sabbath.

World Mission Society Church of God, that has received the Second Coming Christ Ahnsahnghong, keeps the Sabbath on Saturday, according to the Bible. The seventh-day Sabbath is the day on which God rested from creating the heavens and the earth. Most Christians are mistaken as to what day the seventh-day Sabbath is, believing it to be Sunday, even though the Bible testifies that the Sabbath is Saturday. And they do not keep the Sabbath day, being bound to their customs, even though they realize that the Sabbath is actually Saturday.

The Bible warns us not to add or subtract even the smallest letter from the Bible.

Rev. 22:18~19 『I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book. And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.』

The Day to Commemorate God the Creator

The Sabbath day is "a memorial day honoring the Creator who made the heavens and the earth," and is also "a day of rest." God created the heavens and the earth in six days and then rested on the seventh day from all of His work, even blessing this day.

Ge. 2:1~3 『Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array. By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.』

In the time of Moses, God commanded His people, in the fourth commandment of the Ten Commandments, to "remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy." God explained the purpose for keeping the Sabbath by saying, "In six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy" (Ex. 20:11). The seventh day was the day that God, the Creator, had blessed and it was the day that God's people were given to commemorate God's authority. God's people, who worshiped the Creator, kept the Sabbath day as their holy day. God gave His people the Sabbath as the sign by which God would recognize them as His people (Ezek. 20:11~17; Isa. 56:1~7).

The Sabbath day is to be a day of worshiping and of offering sacrifices to God, rather than simply a day of rest. God blessed those who kept the Sabbath day and brought great punishment and disaster upon those who did not keep the Sabbath day.

Jer. 17:24-27 『"But if you are careful to obey me, declares the LORD...keep the Sabbath day holy by not doing any work on it,...this city will be inhabited forever.... But if you do not obey me to keep the Sabbath day holy by not carrying any load as you come through the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day, then I will kindle an unquenchable fire in the gates of Jerusalem that will consume her fortresses."』

The Sabbath Day Is Saturday

Today, we refer to the days of the week as 'Sunday, Monday, Tuesday,' and no longer 'the first day, the second day, the third day.' Our present-day system was developed in Rome where people decided to call the first day of the week 'Sunday,' the second day 'Monday,' the third day 'Tuesday,' and the seventh day 'Saturday.'

  

1) A calendar week has seven days; Sunday is the first day and Saturday is the seventh day.

  2) Think about the word. "Weekend." Which day does the 'end' of the 'week' indicate?

  3) Even in the dictionary, Sunday is defined as 'the first day of the week,' and Saturday as       'the seventh day of the week.'

  4) The Bible also testifies that the seventh day, the Sabbath day, is Saturday.

Mk. 16:9 『When Jesus rose early on the first day of the week...』

Jesus resurrected on the first day of the week. No one argues that Jesus resurrected on Sunday-the 'first day of the week'-which is why all Christians now celebrate Resurrection Day on Sunday. In the Good News Bible, this verse is written, 'After Jesus rose from death early on Sunday...' 

Since the first day of the week is Sunday, what day is the seventh day? Through the Bible, we can confirm that the Sabbath day is Saturday.

Jesus and His Apostles Kept the Sabbath

The Old Testament is a shadow and a copy of the New Testament. Thus, the law of the Old Testament was a shadow of the good things that were to come in the New Testament times (Heb. 10:1). The Sabbath day in the Old Testament was called "the Sabbath of Jehovah" (Ex. 31:13; Ezek. 20:12), while the Sabbath day in the New Testament was called "the Sabbath of Jesus" (Mt. 12:8; Lk. 6:5).

The Sabbath day, according to the Old Testament law, was only a copy; the Sabbath day of the new covenant, kept in Christ, is the reality. In the New Testament times, the apostles kept the Sabbath day by worshiping God in spirit and in truth, following Jesus Christ's example. Jesus kept the Sabbath as His custom.

Lk. 4:16 『He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom....』

In the New Testament times, the Sabbath day is referred to as "Jesus' [the Lord's] day" because the true Lord of the Sabbath is Jesus Christ. "For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath" (Mt. 12:8; Lk. 6:5). The apostles kept the Sabbath day as the "Lord's [Jesus'] day."

Rev. 1:10 『On the Lord's Day I was in the Spirit...』

As the times of the Old Testament passed away and the New Testament times began, the way in which God's people were to keep the Sabbath day was changed; however, the day the Sabbath was to be commemorated was never changed. (In the Old Testament times, God's people offered burnt offerings and could not even kindle a fire in their houses, while in New Testament times, people worshipped God in spirit and in truth.) The day itself could not be changed because it was on the seventh day that God had rested from all of His creating work. The apostles kept the Sabbath day as their custom, reasoning from the Scriptures as follows:

Ac. 17:2 『As his custom was, Paul went into the synagogue, and on three Sabbath days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures...』

Ac. 18:4 『Every Sabbath he reasoned in the synagogue, trying to persuade Jews and Greeks.』

As it is written in the above verses, the apostles kept the Sabbath day.

It is proven throughout the Scriptures that the Sabbath day-the seventh day, Saturday, Jesus' day-was kept until the apostolic age. So why do so many present-day Christians hold services on Sunday [the first day] and not on the Sabbath day? According to history, Sunday service originated from pagan sun-god worship. The Romans had been worshiping the sun god on the first day [Sunday], recognizing it as "the day of the sun," even before the birth of Jesus.

The Sabbath Was Changed to Sunday

After the apostles died, Christianity spread to western regions, including Rome. The gospel was preached to sun-god worshipers, and in the early 4th century, even the Roman emperor had heard the message of Christ. The emperor happened to be a leader of the sun-god worshipers, and when he converted to Christianity, many sun-god worshipers began to attend Church. As time passed, the faith of the Christians weakened, and they began to accept the customs of the sun-god worshipers. During this turn-over, they even began to rest and to worship on the first day of the week [Sunday]. In A.D. 321, Constantine, a Roman emperor, decreed an edict:

"All judges, city-people and craftsmen shall rest on the venerable day of the Sun." 

Some argue that the abolishment of the Sabbath compelled many people to convert to Christianity, but we must not forget that altering God's commandments was Satan's scheme. Satan, the devil, opposes God and has historically harassed God's people, using various methods.

He tried to destroy the Church of God through severe persecution. But, taking a close look at history, the more that God's people were persecuted, the more that they depended on God. When Satan changed his methods of persecution, however, and praised the Church, he tempted the Christians to combine their faiths together. They were given back the properties that had been taken from them, ministers were exempted from military service, and the Church was even given the right to emancipate slaves. Through all of these outwardly positive changes to the Church, the Christians unwittingly fell into Satan's schemes and knelt down before him. They turned their backs away from God, like an ignorant bear who doesn't realize that his gallbladder is going to be stolen, only focusing on the sweet candy he is being tempted with.

God clearly said that only he who does the will of God can enter the kingdom of heaven (Mt. 7:21~23). Which day should we worship God to please Him, Sunday which most people keep, or the Sabbath, Saturday, which God commanded His people to keep? It is unnecessary to reveal the answer, because the Sabbath day is clearly Saturday.

World Mission Society Church of God Established by God

World Mission Society Church of God Church of God, established by God, does not follow man-made rules, only God's laws. They recognize that no one is able to give salvation except God, the Creator of the heavens and the earth. Jesus already revealed that those who follow the laws of men cannot be saved.

Mark 7:6~9 『He [Jesus] replied, "Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written: "'These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men.' You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions of men." And he said to them: "You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe your own traditions!"』

World Mission Society Church of God was established on the foundation of the apostles who followed the teachings of Jesus Christ, and it has not changed since its inception. The true Church follows the laws which Jesus and the apostles observed. 

No matter how many members a church has, if the church has different doctrines than those of Jesus Christ, it could not have originated from Jesus. We keep the Sabbath day-the memorial day of the Creator-not observing the law of the Old Testament, but following the law of the new covenant which Jesus and the apostles obeyed.

The saints, who will be saved on the last day, the day of God's judgment, are those who follow in Jesus' footsteps. The Sabbath day, one of Christ's footmarks, is a very precious commandment of God.

[World Mission Society Church of God]The Passover of Christ is once a year.

World Mission Society Church of God keeps the Passover of the New Covenant on January 14^th (by sacred calendar) at twilight (sunset).

Christ Ahnsahnghong who brought back the Passover of the New Covenant is Second Coming Christ.

Many people are not familiar with Passover and those who know about call it the Jewish Passover. 3500 years ago Jehovah God commanded the Israelites to keep the Passover by slaughtering a lamb and those who kept it were saved from the destruction.

Jesus Christ came 2,000 years ago and he commanded his disciples to keep the Passover, not killing a lamb but by eating his flesh and his blood for he came as the Passover lamb for the forgiveness of sins.

1Co. 5:7 『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.』

Jesus Christ made this Passover an everlasting covenant for his children; that include us, Christians. Christ kept Passover as an example not only for the disciples but also for us. If we don’t keep the Passover, we can’t receive Eternal Life, therefore we can’t go to Heaven.

Jn. 6:53~54 『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.』

Only on the night of the Passover Jesus said this bread is my body and this wine is my blood (Mt. 17:26~28). But by the Council of Nicaea in 325A.D. Constantine abolished the Passover, he instituted Communion, but such thing is not in the Bible, is not part of the teachings from Christ but from men. Passover disappeared and that’s when everyone started keeping what they thought it was Passover and keeping it whenever they wanted.

We have 850 denominations and each follows as they please, some keep Communion, others Eucharist or the Holy supper. Some keep it every week, others once a month and others every 6 months. Not only has the name been changed but also a date. God already gave an appointed time to the Passover.

Lev. 23:4~5 『'These are the LORD's appointed feasts, the sacred assemblies you are to proclaim at their appointed times: The LORD's Passover begins at twilight on the fourteenth day of the first month.』

By sacred calendar the Passover is to be kept on January 14th at twilight (sunset) not whenever we want for we can’t change Gods commands, it is only once a year. Does it matter the date? YES! GOD SAID! We can’t take his words lightly we have to do as he said.

Ex. 13:10 『You must keep this ordinance at the appointed time year after year.』

Please consider the Passover, it’s for our salvation. Nowadays we keep the Passover because of our Father Christ Ahnsahnghong, he is the 2nd Coming Christ who brought back the Passover.

Christ Ahnsahnghong Who Established Zion

Christ Ahnsahnghong restored the feasts of God which disappeared by Satan.

Christ Ahnsahnghong who rebuilt Zion is our God, the Most High.

World Mission Society Church of God which was established by Christ Ahnsahnghong and keeps the feasts of God is Zion.

Then, as we were discussing, we must know what Zion indicates in order to go there in the last days and receive protection from all the disasters that are occurring.

As it may be understood, Christ is prophesied to reign on King David’s throne. According to Isaiah 9:6 we can see this.

Isa. 9:6~7 『For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the LORD Almighty will accomplish this.』

Then through prophecy we can see that it was Jesus Christ who came reigning on King David’s Throne, and therefore is the very Mighty God, Wonderful Counselor, and Everlasting Father.

Lk. 1:31~33 『“You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end.”』

Then, what other prophetical points must Christ fulfill regarding King David. First we must study the life of Physical King David to understand spiritual King David.

In the book of Samuel as soon as King David was anointed he did something very important:

2Sa. 5:7~9 『Nevertheless, David captured the fortress of Zion, the City of David … David then took up residence in the fortress and called it the City of David. He built up the area around it, from the supporting terraces inward.』

So David captured and built up the City of Zion. And we know this to be a physical city. Then, prophetically Jesus Christ is to capture and build up the spiritual/prophetical City of Zion. But what does that mean? Bible testifies:

Isa. 33:20 『Look upon Zion, the city of our festivals; 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.』

Then the Bible states that Zion is the city of God’s festivals. When we look in Leviticus 23 we can see a list of these festivals: Sabbath Day, Passover/Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, Feast of Weeks, Trumpets, Atonement, and Tabernacle. Then throughout Christ’ ministry He kept these feasts, therefore establishing Holy Mount Zion. However, the Bible also prophesied that Satan would abolish the feasts (God’s set times and laws) and therefore destroy Zion.

Da. 7:25 『He will speak against the Most High and oppress his saints and try to change the set times and the laws. The saints will be handed over to him for a time, times and half a time.』

Then will God leave Zion this way?

Isa. 51:3 『The LORD will surely comfort Zion and will look with compassion on all her ruins; he will make her deserts like Eden, her wastelands like the garden of the LORD. Joy and gladness will be found in her, thanksgiving and the sound of singing.』

Mic. 4:1 『In the last days the mountain of the LORD’s temple(Zion) will be established as chief among the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and peoples will stream to it.』

Then, the Bible testifies that in the last days people will stream to Zion and that Zion’s ruins will be comforted. Then according to prophecies within Psalm 102:16~22 and Psalm87:5, The Most High Himself will establish Zion. Then, the feasts of God must be kept. It is Christ Ahnsahnghong who has established the feasts of God in these last days, therefore it is Christ Ahnsahnghong Who Established Zion.

So Christ Ahnsahnghong is God, the Most High.

Let’s believe in Christ Ahnsahnghong, our God the Father, and Let us Flee to Zion without delay before the disasters come upon us!
