Old Testament and New Testament Sabbath 6


How, as the royal priesthood and chosen people of God do we work in the sanctuary? In following the example of Jesus Christ who came as the high priest in the order of Melchizedek 

Hebrews 6:20 where Jesus, who went before us, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek

let's understand how we should worship. 


In John 4:23-24 it reads, Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and truth. 



How do we worship? In Spirit and in truth! Where do we worship? At home? at the beach? In the temple! But how do we truly worship in spirit and truth?The priesthood should follow the high priest no longer in the order of Aaron but in the order of the high priest forever in the order of Melchizedek. The high priest is Jesus Christ! Let's see what example Jesus gave us.

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

 Here, Jesus Christ's custom was to go to the synagogue (church) on the Sabbath day. 

In verses17-18 "The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written: The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed....

Jesus Christ went to the synagogue every Sabbath as was his custom and read the scroll (scriptures) from the prophet Isaiah found in the Old Testament. In the Old Testament, it was really hard to keep the Sabbath day and therefore was not perfect. However, when Jesus Christ fulfilled the law, his example is to worship in spirit and in truth every Sabbath at church while reading from the Bible. How much mercy does God have on us. Nowadays, not many people keep the Sabbath day because of wordly obligations. However, God allows us the opportunity to repent and worship correctly as the example Jesus Christ showed us 2000 years ago. Thank you God for your boundless mercy and grace



Old Testament and New Testament Sabbath 5

How difficult it was to keep the regulations for Sabbath that were required in the Old Testament! Then in the New Testament how did Jesus Christ complete the law? Just like in the Old Testament, the priests were the only ones allowed to work and their work was done in the sanctuary. Who, then are the priests in the New Testament?

In 1 Peter 2:9, But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation. God said we are chosen! God said we are a royal priesthood! God said we are a holy nation! How are we made holy? By keeping the Sabbath day, Saturday, the 7th day of the week!

If we continue in verse 10, Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God, once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.

God allowed us so much mercy in keeping the Sabbath day as Jesus Christ taught us in the New Testament. God said we are a royal priesthood. Just like the priests who worked in the sancturay in the Old Testament, we as the royal priesthood also have to work. How do we work?


Old Testament and New Testament Sabbath 4

Previously, we learned that in the Old Testament, the Sabbath was kept by not doing work and by bringing two perfect year lambs without defect Sabbath after Sabbath. There was another offering that the Israelites were to bring Sabbath after Sabbath. 


ILeviticus, 24:5:7 it reads, Take fine flour and bake twelve loaves of bread, using two tenths of an ephah for each loaf. Set them in two rows, six in each row, on the table of pure gold before the Lord. Along each row put some pure incense as a memorial portion to represent the bread and to be an offering made to the Lord by fire.This bread is to be set out before the Lord regularly, Sabbath after Sabbath on behalf of the Israelites, as a lasting covenant.


The twelve loaves of bread were to be presented before the Lord in two rows, six loaves in each row every Sabbath. Therefore, to review, on the Sabbath day: one could not work or else he was put to death, the offering of two perfect year lambs without defect and twelve loaves of bread, six loaves in each row. If we think about the offerings that were made, it does require some type of work. However, if we recall previously, God said no work was to be done on the Sabbath day. Let's see who was to present the offerings.


In verse 9, It belongs to Aaron and his sons, who are to eat it in a holy place, because it is a most holy part of their regular share of the offerings made to the Lord by fire.


Aaron was the high priest in the Levitical priesthood who presented the offerings to the Lord. Aaron's sons were part of the Levitical priesthood. The priesthood always worked in the sanctuary. In the Old Testament, only the priests worked. In the New Testament, who are the priests?




Old Testament and New Testament Sabbath 3

What does God consider work on the Sabbath day?

In Numbers 15:32-36, it reads, While the Israelites were in the desert, a man was found gathering wood on the Sabbath day. Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron and the whole assembly and they kept him in custody, because it was not clear what should be done to him. Then the Lord said to Moses, "The man must die. The whole assembly must stone him outside the camp." So the assembly took him outside the camp and stoned him to death, as the Lord commanded Moses.


On the Sabbath day, a man was gathering wood and as a result God told the Israelites to stone him to death. If we think about the situation, the man may have been gathering wood to cook for his family or to start a fire in order to keep warm. However, God deemed it as work and the result was death. How difficult and strict was it to keep from doing any work? But because God said, it was necessary to follow. Not only could you not work on the Sabbath but there was another regulation in keeping the Sabbath.


In Numbers 28: 9-10, it reads, On the Sabbath day, make an offering of two lambs a year old without defect, together with its drink offering and grain offering of two tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil. This is the burnt offering for every Sabbath in addition to the regular burnt offering and its drink offering. 


They were to bring two perfect lambs every Sabbath. In mathematical terms, 2 lambs every Sabbath multiplied by 52 weeks or Sabbaths in a year is 104 perfect one year lambs a year. How difficult! Not only did the lambs have to be without blemish but they also needed to be one year old and brought every Sabbath. We understand to this point that they couldn't do any work or be put to death and also two perfect year old lambs were to be brought every Sabbath. There was another offering....

Old Testament and New Testament Sabbath 2

Since the priesthood changed from the order of Aaron to the order of Melchizedek, what else changed?

In Hebrews 7:12, it reads, For when there is a change of the priesthood, there must also be a change of the law.


As we can see, something changed not abolished. When we can think about the word "order" as in the order of Melchizedek, what does it signify? Basically, the way or manner it which something was kept from the Old Testament to the New Testament. In order to understand the change, we need to understandhow it changed from the Old Testament to the New Testament. Then, in order to understand how Sabbath is kept in accordance with the example that Jesus Christ taught us, we need to understand how it was kept in the Old Testament.


In Exodus 31:12-13, it reads, Then the Lord said to Moses, Say to the Israelites, you must observe my Sabbaths. This will be a sign between you and Me for the generations to come, so you may know that I am the Lord, who makes you holy.

At this time, Jehovah God gave the Israelites a command. God did not suggest or ask for them to observe His Sabbaths but He said you Must observe Sabbaths. Why? By keeping God's Sabbaths we get a sign between God and us. Recalling God's messsage in Genesis 2:1-3, God promised rest, blessings and holiness on the 7th Sabbath (Saturday). How amazing because we also realize that God also promised a sign between us and Him by observing the Sabbath. God acknowledges us on the Sabbath day! If we continue in verses 14-15, it reads,

Observe the Sabbath becuase it is holy to you. Anyone who desecrates it must be put to death;whoever does any work on that day must be cut off from His people. For six days, work is to be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day must be put to death.

In verse 14,anyone who desecrates the Sabbath, is put to death.

In verse 15, whoever works on the Sabbath day is put to death. Hence, to desecrate the Sabbath is to work on the Sabbath. However, what is work? If I move a pencil from one end of the table to the other end, is that what God considers work? Although it does not require a lot of effort, we need to understand and accept God's viewpoint on what work is.



Old Testament and New Testament Sabbath 1

Jesus Christ, 2000 years ago, showed us Christians many examples as He said in John 13:15, I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. In one of my first blogs, we saw thru the Bible, that the Sabbath day not Sunday is the true day of worship. God's promises rest, blessings and holiness on the the 7th day (Saturday) as mentioned in Genesis 2:1-3. However in keeping the Sabbath day, many think that it was abolished by Jesus Christ 2000 years ago. We have to get confirmation thru the Bible if Jesus abolished the Sabbath or did He do somthing else.


In the book of Matthew 5:17-18 it reads, Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 


Jesus said that He did not come to abolish the Law or the Prophets but to fulfill them. The Law and the Prophets is found in the Old Testament. He didn't come to abolish the Old Testament but fulfill it. 


Therefore, the status of the Old Testament was unfulfilled, incomplete and imperfect. When Jesus Christ came, He came to fulfill, complete and make perfect the law in the New Testament. We need to understand what happened to the law of the Sabbath. 


In Hebrews 7:11, it reads, If perfection could have been attained through the Levitical priesthood( for on the base of it the law was given to the people) why was there still need for another priest to come-one in the order of Melchizedek, not in the order of Aaron?


 In the beginning of this verse, we see a condition, IF. The Levitical priesthood found in the Old Testament was given through the order of Aaron , the high priest and the law was given to the people. 


However, if the Levitical priesthood was not perfect, then what happened? Another priest came not in the order of Aaron but in the order of Melchizedek. Then, who came as the the high priest in the order of Melchizedek?

Christ Ahnsahnghong came on the Cloud

Thanks to Heavenly father Christ Ahnsahnghong and heavenly mother New Jerusalem today I was able to realize once again how close we are to the kingdom of heaven. Today at work a co-worker that knew I was part of the church of god told me that he had heard about father Christ Ahnsahnghong and asked me a question that I was the most delighted to answer. He said that he had heard many things about the church of god but the most shocking to him was that we believed in 2nd coming Christ, Ahnsahnghong. I have to admit that I was rather astonished of how knowledgeable he was of the word of god but more importantly the question he asked me.


How can 2nd coming Christ come as a man if the scripture speaks of his coming on the clouds?


Matthew 24:30 at that time the sign of the son of man will appear in the sky …. They will see the son of man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory.


I became extremely ecstatic as he recited the verse to me, how amazing I thought to be able to share the good news of Christ to a true believer in the scripture. He told me that he actually understood how serious of an allegation this was that I made proclaiming father Ahnsahnghong but he did not want to commit a bigger mistake if in fact he was denying the savior. From this point on I decided to press on to let him know about the reality to this verse;


When Christ came 2000 years ago the teachers of the law the Pharisees refused to believe that Christ was indeed the messiah because they believed that Elijah who was to come before Christ would come in a chariot of fire from heaven the same way he ascended to heaven but in fact they refused to accept the prophetical Elijah (John the Baptist) who had been already been born as a child. Now living in the last days we must study about the Christ coming on a cloud because if we miss his coming we will miss the chance to reap the goal of our faith which is salvation of our souls for a lack of knowledge of the scriptures.


Nowadays most Christians believe that if when Christ comes on a cloud the earth will be destroyed with fire and the saved will be caught up with Christ in the air. It is true in the bible it is prophesied that the earth will be plundered in the last days and that fire will consume the earth but about Christ almost movie like appearance we must study because we cannot make the same mistake once again and deny our savior so we must understand though the bible what is the parabolic meaning of a cloud:


Jude 1:12 These men are blemishes at your love feast eating with you without the slightest qualm?shepherds who feed only themselves. They are clouds without rain, blown along by the wind: autumn trees, without fruit uprooted?twice dead.


Then the bible here describes men as clouds without rain. Out of all the examples that the bible could have used the bible uses the word cloud to describe men so let us understand that in the bible the word cloud has the prophetic meaning of men. But to make sure and confirm about this let us take a look at another passage in the scripture about the prophetical meaning of clouds


Proverbs 25:14 like clouds and wind without rain is a man who boasts of gifts he does not give.


Again! We see another example in the bible where a man is described and compared to a cloud, letting us understand through another part of bible that coming on the clouds means coming as a man in the flesh.


Let us still confirm through another verse in the bible


Hebrews 12:1 therefore since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easy entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.


Then Apostle Paul in describing the people that surrounded him he used the word clouds. Why? Because god let him understand that the prophetical meaning of clouds to be used the bible was men/flesh.


Now, then we can clearly see that coming on the clouds means coming in the flesh and that second coming Christ must come as a man in the flesh. Actually easier is to understand this is by taking a look at the prophecy of the first coming of Christ


Dan 7:13-14 in my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like the son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all peoples, nations and men of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom that will never be destroyed.


When we take a look at this we cannot come to question the bible because now we understand about the parabolic meaning of the word cloud in the bible which means in the flesh as a man. In fact when Christ came he did not come in the visible clouds of heaven but was born as a child in the flesh. Some may argue that this speaks about Christ 2nd coming but they are incorrect because the disciples wrote about the full fulfillment of this prophecy as follows


Matt 28:18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.”


Luke 22:29 “And I confer on you a kingdom, just as my father conferred on me,”


Regarding his 1st coming it was written that Christ would come and


“He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all peoples, nations and men of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom that will never be destroyed.” And the disciples wrote about this being in his 1st coming but however we saw Christ not come on a physical cloud but indeed in the flesh confirming that 2nd coming Christ was to come in the flesh.


After sharing these very verses with this co-worker of mine he was amazed and is planning to come with me for a study some time week thanks to heavenly father and mother. But what this made me realize even more was how close we are to the kingdom of heaven that everyone is being exposed to our Heavenly Father who has come and our Heavenly Mother Jerusalem. I hope to see all soon but for now I will concentrate on my co-worker.




World Mission Society Church of God Reveals Christ Ahnsahnghong as the Last Adam


I told you before about my experience at the World Mission Society Church of God that preaches Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother the New Jerusalem. And I also told you that I would fill you in on the details of the study that led to my baptism. 

What an incredible journey I have been on since that time…and how amazing are the mysteries hidden in the Scriptures!! So…here it is.

According to the Bible, God said that his mysteries would only be revealed in the last days (Rev 10:7), so until then, even those who try to look into them on their own will find themselves confused (Isa 29:11). Essentially…ever Christian attending church thus far has fallen into this same trap of confusion. Why you ask?

Jesus spoke in parable since the beginning of the Bible (Matt 13:34) and made the truths known only to his servants and prophets: the chosen few (Matt 22:14).  The chosen few however, are those who do the will of God (Matt 7:21) and though everyone may say they do, if they do not even know the one who commands it, how can they even know what to do?

Just like I did at first, I am sure you would probably view this as too selective, or un-merciful, but God has a greater plan and to the one who goes to learn, hopefully they will see and then do, just as I did.   

Creation is a story everyone has heard about…Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and the serpent who deceived them…

BUT>>>>>

Did anyone tell you there is another Adam in the Bible? (1 Cor15:45-49).  Didn’t think so…

How on earth is there a first and last Adam? How can it be that the first is of the dust, and the second is considered a life-giving spirit? Either way, there are 2 Adams in the Bible which is dumbfounding.  What’s more is that only the World Mission Society Church of God teaches about the last Adam the life-giving spirit.

Apostle Paul testified in (Rom 5:14) that death reigned even over those who did not sin by breaking a command as did Adam “who was a pattern of the one to come.”  However, there is only one to come in the Bible… (Heb 9:28) and he is coming with the purpose of bringing salvation.

Because only God can bring salvation, the one to come cannot be Jesus at his first coming because he had already come and gone back to heaven.  So somehow God has to come again…but who is he?

The World Mission Society Church of God preaches from the Scriptures that Second Coming is Christ Ahnsahnghong.  Then before he appears, it would be impossible for anyone to already have salvation, otherwise why would he need to bring it?

The Bible clearly testifies that Christ Ahnsahnghong came a second time and fulfilling prophecy he came in the pattern of Adam as a life-giving Spirit. 

Then what “life” or “salvation,” will Christ Ahnsahnghong, the Last Adam give to those waiting for him?

First things first…without understanding Adam’s pattern, how can anyone understand Christ Ahnsahnghong?

Looking at the pattern of Adam from Genesis, let’s see what Adam did.  (Gen 2:21-23) and the man (Adam) said “this is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called woman, for she was taken out of man.”

When Adam fell asleep, he revealed the woman (Gen 3:20) “Eve.” Looking in the footnotes, one can see that her name means “life.”

Then since Christ Ahnsahnghong is coming in this same pattern, so too should he fall asleep and reveal from his own flesh and blood, Eve.   And just as in the beginning of creation first Adam was with Eve, so at the end of the spiritual creation the Last Adam should be with the last Eve, also known as the “mother of all the living.”

Fulfilling prophecy, Christ Ahnsahnghong came to earth and revealed his flesh and blood to the world at the end of the spiritual creation as it is written in (Rev 19:7).  Only in the last days has the bride made herself ready for the wedding of the Lamb.  So…who is the Lamb and who is this bride? At this point in my lesson, I was burning with curiosity…

Who is she???

The wedding of the Lamb in Revelation refers to that of Christ Ahnsahnghong (1 Cori 5:7) and in the pattern of Adam as the groom, he has to be a life-giving spirit to reveal (unveil) Eve, his bride. 

Obviously, no one can know her if her name and whereabouts are unknown.  So, as she is to be the Mother of all the living, her children are out there somewhere looking for her and need to know where to find her.

Thus, Apostle John described the bride in Revelation as the Holy City Jerusalem coming down from heaven (Rev 21:9-10).  Clearly no city is a mother of living children, nor is the city coming down from heaven to the earth…Jerusalem is already here on the earth.

So, Apostle Paul clarified the mystery of Jerusalem calling out to her as (Gal 4:26), “our mother.”

What??? Our Mother????? Everything matches up so perfectly…This was the point in the lesson where I began to cry and needed a moment to breath. 

Can you believe it? All this time, we were convinced of only God the Father, but the children of God have a Mother! Of couse they do, they are children!!!

Praise God!

Can you see this?

Fulfilling prophecy, Jerusalem is surely the Last Eve to appear with her groom, the last Adam Christ Ahnsahnghong.


Heavenly Mother New Jerusalem is therefore the Last Eve, the bride of Second Coming Christ Ahnsahnghong the Last Adam.  To those who long for everlasting life then…surely you will need to know how to be born of Heavenly Parents.

Christ AhnSahngHong our Hope


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


Psalm 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?

Isaiah 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 where Zion is – God’s dwelling place. The only place on earth that celebrated these Feast according to all of God’s regulations is Church of God World Mission Society. However, 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 (Daniel 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 (Hebrews 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 (Romans 6:23). What is our hope?

Psalm 102:16 [For the LORD will rebuild Zion and appear in his glory.]

God will rebuild Zion! When?
Micah 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, because the Feasts of God make up Zion (Isaiah 33:20). Then who will establish Zion?

Psalm 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 Feast 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 (Galatians 4:26)
All thanks, praise and honor to our God Christ AhnSahngHong!

Solomon's Judgment and God the Mother


Our heavenly Mother is the true Mother in this age.
Only our God the Mother can give us spiritual life.



The Bible testifies about God; it testifies of Elohim [Gods]―God the Father and God the Mother. The 66 books of the Bible consistently speak not only the truth about God the Father but also the truth about God the Mother, through the relationship between Adam and Eve, the history of Abraham's Family, the prophecy of the New Jerusalem, and so on. 

To know Christ as the Father and Mother is the greatest mystery of the Bible. The god of this world [the devil] has blinded people's minds, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ (2 Co 4:4). 

Only those who are redeemed through the blood of Christ can receive wisdom and understanding from God and realize the mystery of God. 


Solomon's wise judgment
Solomon is known as the wisest man in the world. He was the son of King David and the third king of Israel. He was famous for his wisdom; people from all nations came to hear his wisdom. 
The Bible records that Solomon was given wisdom by God. He offered a thousand burnt offerings and prayed earnestly, and God appeared to him in a dream. Then he asked God for wisdom and understanding to discern justice. There continuously arose many disputes among his people; so he asked for wisdom to become a fair judge as their king, that he might discern right and wrong and none of them would suffer the injustice of being subject to a bad judgment. 

God granted him not only the wisdom, but also the riches and honor which he did not ask for. King Solomon surpassed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom. God's wisdom was reflected in Solomon's decision. Among all his judicial decisions, the Bible precisely records only one case in which he discovered who the true mother was. 

1 Ki 3:16-28? 『. . . One of them said, "My lord, this woman and I live in the same house . . . The third day after my child was born, this woman also had a baby. We were alone; there was no one in the house but the two of us. During the night this woman's son died because she lay on him . . . So she got up in the middle of the night and took my son from my side while I your servant was asleep. She put him by her breast and put her dead son by my breast. The next morning, I got up to nurse my son―and he was dead! But when I looked at him closely in the morning light, I saw that it wasn't the son I had borne." The other woman said, "No! The living one is my son; the dead one is yours." But the first one insisted, "No! The dead one is yours; the living one is mine." And so they argued before the king. The king said, ". . . Bring me a sword." So they brought a sword for the king. He then gave an order: "Cut the living child in two and give half to one and half to the other." The woman whose son was alive was filled with compassion for her son and said to the king, "Please, my lord, give her the living baby! Don't kill him!" But the other said, "Neither I nor you shall have him. Cut him in two!" Then the king gave his ruling: "Give the living baby to the first woman. Do not kill him; she is his mother." When all Israel heard the verdict the king had given, they held the king in awe, because they saw that he had wisdom from God to administer justice.』 

There was no witness, and the two women in dispute over one living baby appealed to Solomon for justice, each claiming to be the birth mother of the living child. Solomon discovered the true mother of the baby by her love for her child, and returned the living son to her.

In Solomon's judgment, we find out that his God-given wisdom enabled him to discern the true mother. The Bible testifies of God, and everything that was written in the past was written to teach us (Jn 5:39; Ro 15:4). The story of Solomon's judgment between the two mothers was not written to admire his wisdom, but to testify of God and teach us something spiritual.



God's wisdom manifested in Solomon's judgment
God gave wisdom to Solomon, that he could recognize who the true mother was and gave the real mother back her child. Likewise, God in His wisdom has made known to us the heavenly Mother. We have received our heavenly Mother; like Solomon, we should help the poor souls wandering aimlessly around the world and let them know who the true Mother is.

Gal 4:26-31? 『But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother. 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.』 

The Bible clearly tells us that there is our spiritual Mother above (in heaven). We were angels in heaven, but our sins separated us from our Mother and caused us to be cast down to the earth. Because of the sins we had committed in heaven, we lost our memory and couldn't remember our Mother. 

Our sins caused our Mother to come from heaven to this earth (Isa 50:1). The Apostle John saw in a vision the new Jerusalem, the Bride of the Lamb, coming down out of heaven. "More are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband." This prophecy implies that our Mother raises Her children alone here on earth after our Father went up to heaven but She has even more children than any woman who has a husband. 


The evil one teaches that Mother does not exist
The Bible clearly reveals the existence of the spiritual Mother. However, our wicked enemy the devil has been deceiving all people for thousands of years into believing that Mother does not exist. He teaches lies and people foolishly believe them. In Revelation, we can see that the devil deceives all people living on the earth.

Rev 13:6-15? 『He opened his mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven. He was given power to make war against the saints and to conquer them . . . Because of the signs he was given power to do on behalf of the first beast, he deceived the inhabitants of the earth . . .』

The devil is the deceiver of deceivers. When he tempted Eve in the Garden of Eden, he wickedly perverted God's word and deceived her into following his way. And now he is deceiving the inhabitants of the earth into believing that Mother does not exist. 

It is clearly recorded in the Bible, "our Mother," so that everybody can easily see. Nevertheless, most people deny the existence of Mother and reject Her. It is because they are spiritually deceived by Satan. Once they are tempted, although we show them clear and convincing evidence that Mother exists, they would not accept it. 

1 Jn 5:18-19? 『We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the one who was born of God keeps him safe, and the evil one cannot harm him. We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one.』 

We belong to God, but the whole world is under the rule of the evil one. The devil, the wicked one, makes up many lies and teaches them. One of them is that God the Mother does not exist. The whole world has been deceived by his false teaching. 

Think of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Eating the fruit of the tree would result in death. However, when Adam and Eve looked at the fruit after being tempted by Satan, it looked good for food, pleasant to the eyes and also desirable to make one wise. Being deceived, they lost the ability to discern between good and evil.


Biblical testimonies to our heavenly Mother
We need to receive wisdom from God like Solomon, in order that we may discern our true Mother. Through the history of Creation in six days, we can clearly find our Father and our Mother as well, the Creators.

Ge 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.』

God created man in His own image, then male and female were created in the image of God. This proves that there is the female image of God as well as the male image of God. We call the male image of God "Father." What should we call the female image of God? 

When God created man, He said, "Let us make man." It is Elohim [God the Father and God the Mother] who said, "Let us . . ." here. 

The devil knows well that if our spiritual eyes are opened to recognize our Mother, his world will be destroyed soon. So what he fears the most is that the glory of our Mother is revealed. Eve was to be the serpent's enemy as described in Genesis. 

Ge 3:14-15? 『So the Lord God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, "Cursed are you above all the livestock and all the wild animals! You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life. And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel."』 

There is an enmity between the serpent and the woman, the devil and the Mother. God put enmity between them in order to reveal the heavenly Mother to us. 

The ancient serpent, the devil, is basically the enemy of our Mother and also the enemy of ours. If those on Mother's side become strong, those on Satan's side naturally become weak. The serpent crushes our heel, but we shall crush his head and finally win the victory over him. While crushing the head is fatal, striking the heel will not cause death. 

Under the Old Law, he who did not obey his father and mother was considered evil and put to death (Dt 21:18-21). God's laws given in the Old Testament were only a shadow of the heavenly things. The law in Deuteronomy 21 shows that if one does not obey the spiritual Father and Mother, he will not enter into eternal life but go into destruction. 

Unless we find our Mother, we become spiritually orphaned. Satan, who knows this, has deceived the world into believing that there is no Mother. 

So the people cannot even imagine that God the Mother exists, calling God, "Father, Father." However, we belong to God; our Father has made known to us our heavenly Mother and brought us into Her arms. We truly give thanks to our Father for this. 


Divine providence revealed by the sun and moon and stars
God's existence is evident to us through nature which He created. We can confirm the existence of our heavenly Mother through the sun, the moon and stars. 

Ge 37:9-10? 『Then he had another dream, and he told it to his brothers. "Listen," he said, "I had another dream, and this time the sun and moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me." When he told his father as well as his brothers, his father rebuked him and said, "What is this dream you had? Will your mother and I and your brothers actually come and bow down to the ground before you?"』 

Joseph, the eleventh son of Jacob, had a dream in which the sun and moon and eleven stars bowed down to him. When he told the dream to his family, his father scolded him, saying, "Will I and your mother and brothers bow down to you?" Why did Jacob interpret the sun, moon and the stars as symbolical of his household?

This is not just a dream. Through Joseph's dream and its interpretation, God has made known to us our heavenly family relationship: our Father represented by the sun, our Mother by the moon, and we the children by the stars. When the Apostle Paul wrote to the churches in Corinth, he explained that the sun has its own glory, the moon another glory, and the stars a different glory.

1 Co 15:38-41? 『But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own body. All flesh is not the same: Men have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another and fish another. There are also heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies; but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is another. The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.』 

The above verses say that there are many stars, and that one star differs from another in glory; the sun or the moon is not mentioned to be many. As it is written in Da 12:3 that "those who lead many to righteousness will shine like the stars for ever and ever," God's children are compared to the stars. So the sun represents the Father, the moon the Mother, and the stars the children.

God's invisible power and divine nature are reflected in all things (Ro 1:20). Nature created by God serves as a textbook that teaches us God's providence. In the daytime, when the sun shines, the moon and stars do not appear. However, when the sun is sinking behind the western hills, then the moon appears, accompanied by the stars. 

God said that He would give us, His children, honor and praise among all the peoples of the earth in the last days (Zep 3:18-20). For this, the Father's ministry of the gospel must be completed and our Mother has to appear. So the Father accomplished His ministry of 37 years according to the prophecy of King David, and then the glory of the Mother along with ours began to appear. Without Mother, we cannot reach eternal salvation, nor can we share in the heavenly glory. To prevent people from realizing that, the devil blinds their eyes, stops their ears and hardens their hearts.


Let us be like Solomon
Jesus spoke the following phrase: ". . . as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings . . . ." At a hen's clucking, not a rooster's crow, chicks gather. Likewise, at Mother's loving voice, the children of heaven, scattered throughout the world, return to Her. 

Mother cries out, "Do no harm to My children," enduring heartbreaking pain. Mother's earnest cry will be a message of life that awakens the spirits of the children deceived by Satan. 

We shall be joyful always, for our heavenly Mother is with us. With a firm faith in Mother's existence, we the children of Zion shall stand up against the evil tricks of the devil who tries to blind our minds so that we cannot realize Mother. Let's all be like Solomon and help our brothers and sisters, who are wandering around like orphans all over the world, to know our Mother and meet Her. 

Col 3:1? 『Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.』 

God's children must find the Jerusalem that is above, the heavenly Mother. The devil our wicked enemy slanders us and entices us with lies so that we will not know the existence of Mother. However, we belong to God, our Father and Mother. 

Children of Zion! Let's not forget the love and grace of our heavenly Father and Mother who have come to save us. We are obligated to preach the good news to the ends of the earth. Like Solomon, let us lead our brothers and sisters, scattered among all nations, into the loving arms of our heavenly Mother, who always cares about the lives of Her children. Let them hear our Mother's earnest voice!

The hidden treasure and Jerusalem Mother


Do you want to find hidden treasure? 
The Bible says, " The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field.(Mt 13:44)"
What does the hidden treasure mean? How can we find it?
and The bible says that there is a mystery too.

Col 1:26 The mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the saints.
    2: 2 ...... they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ. 

Christ is the mystery of the mystery in the Bible. 
then What doess Christ refer? Christ means God who came in the flesh. In same reason, we call Jesus as Christ, Jesus Christ. 
Before 2000 years, Jesus Christ is a mystery and hidden treasure. Only those who accept Jesus Christ could enter the kingdom of heaven.

However, everyone knows Jesus Christ in our generation. 
And there is one more mystery.
Let`s turn to Genesis.

Ge 1:26 God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, ...... he created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female....

Many christian think God is one, singular. But God called himself "us". Us and our is plural term not singular. It means God is more than one. 
then,  He created male and female. It came from image of God. We have male image of God and female image of God. 
As many people knows male image of God is God the Father. then, Who is the female image of God? How shoudl call Her? Mother.
In these last age,  Our God the Father and God the Mother would come in the flesh.

Its the hidden treasure and mystery of mystery in the Bible. 

Rev 22:17 The Spirit and the Bride say, "Come!" and let him hears say, "Come!" Whoever thirsty, let him come; and Whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life.

Just like time of Jesus, Only those who have came to the Spirit and the Bride who is God came in the flesh will find the hidden treasure and enter the kingdom of heaven.

God The Mother, The Heavenly Jerusalem, Completes The Family





God said that They created the physical things to teach us about the physical things, basically (Rom. 1:19-20). So if we understand the systems of this earth we can understand the systems of heaven (Heb. 8:5). 




When you read Heb. 8:5, please don’t think because it’s talking about the system of the sanctuary in that verse that the same teaching doesn’t apply to other system. For instance, the Judicial system is clearly seen in the Bible though the Bible does not say specifically that the earthly justice system exist as well as a heavenly one:
Christ speaks in our defense (Christ is our counselor, lawyer 1 John 2:1); it’s in our defense, so we are the defendant; Satan is always the accuser; and of course, God is the Judge. Yet the Bible doesn’t say plainly there’s a court system in heaven also.

Likewise, although God didn’t say plainly there’s a heavenly family system as there is an earthly one. It’s understood that it exist by even the way Jesus told us to pray:

Matt. 6:9 “This, then, is how you should pray: “‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,”

Why did Jesus specifically teach us to call God Father? The word Father automatically implies the existence of a family, because only a man with children can be called a father. (Heb. 12:9) Then also, the children of God must exist.

Matt. 12:50 For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.”

The spiritual brothers and sisters can be distinguished by if they do God’s will, but they do exist. Yet in a family, the man cannot be called father unless he has children, and children cannot exist unless who gives birth to them? Then the mom is the true glue of the family and the reason either title exist. The earthly shadow exist because the heavenly reality  exist – so if there exist mothers on this earth as a shadow, shouldn’t there exist in reality the heavenly Mother?

Church of God World Mission Society has been proclaiming the existence of God the Mother because according to the prophecy the 2nd Coming Christ, Christ Ahn Sahng Hong, has shown us the true source of eternal life. That’s why when Father came the first time as Jesus, He always waited until the last days to raise us up (give us life). Funny how God uses the word ‘raise us up in the last days’ when it’s the mom who ‘raises’ the children in a family. Okay, that was a side note, lol. Anyway, God the Mother exists according to the Bible, even Apostle Paul testified about Her:

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

As the Bible says God is Our Father, so it also testifies She is Our Mother regarding the Heavenly Jerusalem. It is because She is here the Bible makes sense now.

26 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.




Church Of God World Mission Society Does Praise A New Name


It’s only human to reject the unfamiliar. However, just because something is unfamiliar does n’t  make it wrong. Especially concerning salvation in the Bible. I find it interesting how people are so quick to reject the 2nd Coming of Christ Ahn Sahng Hong when they themselves have not yet studied the prophecies of the 2nd Coming Christ according to the Bible. One in particular is the name that God will use to save His people.

In the time of the Old Testament, only the name that existed as God’s name was Jehovah. So the Bible said at that time only the name of Jehovah can save them. (Isa. 43:10-12).

However, God already planned to come in the future of that time as a child and son (Isa. 9:6) and gave the sign by which we can recognize that God has come into the earth – the one reigning on David’s throne (Isa. 9:7). Yet when God fulfilled His purposed prophecy, coming into the flesh (Luke 3:31-22), did He still use the name Jehovah? No, He began using the name of Jesus. SO at that time it was Jesus’ name only that could save us. (Acts 4:10-12).
Likewise, God said that when He comes again in the last days He will use a new name.

Rev. 3:11 I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown. The one who is victorious I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will they leave it. I will write on them the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on them my new name.

This is the word of Jesus Christ (Rev. 1:1). So this name will be Jesus’ new name. His name will be used in the last days, which is the time of the Holy Spirit. This is why Jesus said 2000 years ago about the Holy Spirit having a name (Matt. 28:18-20). 


Only when God comes into the flesh does He give us a new name. As Christ has come as the stone but He came in the flesh, so God said He will come in the last days giving us a new name on a white stone (Rev. 2:17). 

Only the one who uncovers the hidden manna (Passover not celebrated for a long time) can be recognized as the true 2nd Coming Christ. This is why Christ Ahn Sahng Hong is proved to be the true 2nd Coming Christ and it just so happens that the church He established is the only one keeping the Passover of the New Covenant.



In the Church of God World Mission Society we are in the same place as the disciples 2000 years ago –  the ones rejected by the world but chosen by God.
