we are confident in the Kingdom of Heaven, then we should be confident on having eternal life. In the Bible, do you know the way God gave us eternal life?
John 6:53 "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. 54Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 55For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. 56Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him."
According to this verse, even if you have all the faith in the world, without eating Jesus' flesh and blood can you receive eternal life? I say this because it is that important. What is the way to eat Jesus' flesh and blood (according to the Bible)?
Luke 22:14 "When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table. 15And he said to them, "I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer...19And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me."20In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you."
Many churches do the action, but what is God's appointed time?
Lev. 23:4 " 'These are the LORD's appointed feasts, the sacred assemblies you are to proclaim at their appointed times: 5 The LORD's Passover begins at twilight on the fourteenth day of the first month."

Our Heavenly Mother Jerusalem Came
This is really serious, this mission. When we consider the coming of Christ, we think of Jesus because that is all we were taught. However, that doesn't mean that's all there is!
The Bible prophesied AD97 (when John had the Revelation) that the Heavenly Jerusalem would come down to this earth.
Rev. 21:2 "saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.'
This Jerusalem will come out of heaven and dwell among men, which is the earth. Who again is this Jerusalem from heaven?
Gal. 4:26 "But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother."
Then who is it that is coming out of heaven to dwell among us? Is it not Our Heavenly Mother, who is God? Our Heavenly Father is God, therefore, Our Heavenly Mother Jerusalem is God Almighty as well.
In all ages past, Our Heavenly Mother came down for no one. Whether it be Moses or Apostle Paul, Heavenly Mother never came down Herself. However, in this last age of the children, Heavenly Mother has come down to this earth to bring us the water of life. Even though we do not deserve Her love for Our sin against Father and Mother in Heaven, She Herself has come down! That's why we believe 100% in Our Father Ahnsahnghong and Mother Jerusalem who give us the living water leading to eternal life.
Rev. 22:17 'The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let him who hears say, "Come!" Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life.'

The Perfect Church Has the Spirit & Bride
According to the Bible, the perfect church (the church established by God) will believe in the Spirit and the Bride.
Rev. 22:17 'The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let him who hears say, "Come!" Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life.'
We know that the Book of Revelation is set to take place in the last days. However, in the last days, it is the Spirit (the Holy Spirit) and the Bride (Heavenly Mother Jerusalem) who gives the water of life. Howeverm, the Jerusalem from Heaven is God the Mother. Now adays, does any church believe in the Mother God testified in the Bible? Only the Church of God World Mission Society.
It was the Apostle Paul who testified that the Jerusalem above is Our Mother, and that was 2000 years ago! Shouldn't our faith be the same as theirs?
How similar is the Church of God World Mission Society to the church established by God 2000 years ago! It is because Christ Ahnsahnghong and mother Jerusalem are the God of Elohim who has established the perfect church from 2000 years ago and even now!
Rev. 22:17 'The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let him who hears say, "Come!" Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life.'

Eternal Life Proves That Christ Ahnsahnghong IS God!
Tim. 6:15 '...which God will bring about in his own time—God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, 16 who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. To him be honor and might forever. Amen.'
Since only God is immortal, only God has eternal life to give. But if only God can give eternal life, what did Jesus do 2000 years ago?
John 6:54 "Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. "
Luke 22:13 "They left and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover. When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table. And he said to them, "I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer."... And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me." In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you. "
If only God can give eternal life, but Jesus gave us eternal life through the New Covenant Passover, Jesus MUST be God.
Also, when the Passover was abolished in AD 325, the Bible said that Christ will appear a 2nd time to bring salvation (Passover).
1948, Christ Ahnsahnghong restored the Passover in this world, celebrating it again, thus fulfilling the prophecy that only the 2nd Coming Christ can fulfill. However, if He restored the Passover, He also gave us eternal life again. But only God can give eternal life...Christ Ahnsahnghong MUST be who?
Surely Christ Ahnsahnghong IS God! Study the Bible and find out.

The Greatest Miracle!
It's so true! So many people regard that the miracles that Jesus performed so great - raising the dead to live again, making the blind see, making the lame walk, making the mute speak...
However, have you ever considered that the whole Bible testifies about the 2nd Coming Christ, not just the 1st Coming? This prophecy of Isaiah is also referring to the 2nd Coming Christ.
say to those with fearful hearts, "Be strong, do not fear; your God will come, he will come with vengeance; with divine retribution he will come to save you."
Then will the eyes of the blind be opened and the ears of the deaf unstopped.
Then will the lame leap like a deer, and the mute tongue shout for joy. Water will gush forth in the wilderness and streams in the desert.
Now, we see this prophecy fulfilled through Christ Ahnsahnghong and Our Mother Jerusalem! When Father Ahnsahnghong restored the Passover truth in 1948, our spiritual eyes were opened to see that Passover of the New Covenant is the way to life, not communion. The reality of the New Covenant Passover is Our Mother, the New Jerusalem (Gal. 4:21-26).
She's actually been in the Bible all along! Also, all the denominations out there never testify to the truth in Bible; rather they make up their own doctrine. We're able to hear the Word of God
now, therefore, God unstopped our ears. Even though Jesus said to make disciples, we were never taught to preach the truth, so we were spiritually mute. However, now we can preach the truth. Our walk in God was incorrect, keeping false teachings such as communion and sunday. However, now we can keep god's commandments correctly, Passover and Sabbath.
The prophecy says that when this all happens, God has come. Yet, only in the Church of God World Mission Society is this fulfilled. Then Christ Ahnsahnghong and Mother are true God Almighty. They have come to save us.
And now we have in COG WMS the Greatest Miracle: 144000 people will change into heavenly bodies to live forever and ever in the Kingdom of Heaven. They will never die, but reign eternally in the everlasting kingdom! (1 Cor. 15:50 - 58)

Give thanks in all circumstances and walk in love
Unless we feel the love of God, we become weary of life on earth and start to complain. However, if we understand God's love, we are thankful to God every day. The Bible tells us to rejoice always, pray continually and give thanks in everything.
1 Thess 5:16-18 Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
God is our Father and Mother, and the eternal kingdom of heaven is ours. That's why we can be joyful always. People feel sad about growing older and fearful of death. We do not feel the way they do. God has given us eternal peace, joy and happiness through the truth of the new covenant. How can we fail to rejoice and give thanks?
Thus, we can be joyful and happy when we believe in Father and Mother. We have not only the commands to keep but also love-a great mechanism.
Col 3:13-17 ... And over all these virtues put on love,... And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. ... giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Col 2:6-7 So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
God has given us the truth of the new covenant and permission to enter the kingdom of heaven; God is our Father and Mother; we are brothers and sisters to one another and work hard together to lead the world to the right path and to establish the realm of the gospel. For all these things we are to be thankful. Let's always give thanks to our heavenly Father and Mother rather than complain because of the desires of the flesh.
No one can say that he knows the Bible unless he understands God's love. Only those who understand God's love can truly know the Bible and God. We should fill both our home and the Church with God's love. When we resemble God who is love and are devoted to one another in brotherly love, we will be filled with thanksgiving for everything.
Eph 5:1-4 Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. ...Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving is proof that we have understood God's love. In Revelation 4, the elders lay their crowns before the throne and give glory to God. How are they able to do that? It is because they have understood God's love. Likewise, we can be thankful if we understand God's love. God has given us, who lived without hope, the hope of heaven and the blessing of eternal life. Even though we give praise and thanks to God forever and ever, that is not enough.
If we give thanks in all circumstances, God will allow us more things to be thankful for. Until we find all of our heavenly brothers and sisters, let us continue to proclaim the wonderful works of our heavenly Father and Mother, being joyful always and giving thanks in everything. God guards us as the apple of His eye and loves us endlessly. Remembering the love all the time and being thankful continually, let us proclaim the love of Father and Mother to all people around the world.
1 Thess 5:16-18 Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
God is our Father and Mother, and the eternal kingdom of heaven is ours. That's why we can be joyful always. People feel sad about growing older and fearful of death. We do not feel the way they do.

Elohim God
The word "Elohim" directly translates to "Gods." The Bible testifies that God exists in the female image, God the Mother, as well as the male image, God the Father.
World Mission Society Church of God has received Second Coming Christ Ahnsahnghong, God the Father, and the heavenly Jerusalem, God the Mother.
When people hear the word "God," most immediately think of "God the Father," holding to the fixed idea that only God the Father exists; however, the Bible clearly testifies that there is a God the Mother in addition to a God the Father. We sincerely hope that you can break your fixed, man-made ideas so that you can receive the true Saviors: Christ Ahnsahnghong and Jerusalem Mother.
Then, let us discover why the members of the Church of God accept Christ Ahnsahnghong and Jerusalem Mother as their Elohim God.
Elohim God revealed in the book of Genesis
Let us confirm that there is both a male and a female image of God, through the book of Genesis.
Gen. 1:26-27 『Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness,"…So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.』
Both males and females were created in the image of God, and thus it is clear that God has two images: a male image and a female image. When God said, "Let us make man in our image," God used the word "us"-a plural term-instead of using "me." We come to understand that not one God, but two Gods-a Father and a Mother-worked together during the Creation. Such plural terms are used to describe God in Genesis chapter 11, also.
Gen. 11:1-7 『…The LORD said…"Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other."』
This verse, too, makes reference to Elohim God, the same God who created male and female (in Genesis chapter 1), saying, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness." In Genesis chapter 11, God was responding to the arrogance of the people, who had collectively built the tower of Babel. Through this situation, God testifies that there exists a God the Mother as well as a God the Father by saying, "Let us go down…"
Elohim God revealed in the book of Isaiah
We can confirm the existence of Elohim God through the book of Isaiah as well.
Isa. 6:8 『Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!"』
When God was searching for a man to preach His words, God said, "Who will go for us?" instead of saying, "Who will go for me?" This reveals that not only the Father was working, but that there was a Mother who was working as well.
Elohim God revealed in the book of Jeremiah
In the book of Jeremiah we can also find references to Elohim God.
Jer. 31:22 『…The LORD will create a new thing on earth-a woman will surround a man.』
God said that He would create a new thing: a woman would surround a man. Spiritually, this verse has a very profound meaning. The woman, Eve, had once been inside the man. If God had not made the woman with the ribs He had taken out of the man, how could the woman have been able to surround the man? The new thing, that God said He would bring to the earth, would be the revealing of Mother, who has been within God the Father since the beginning. The new thing would be created at the time God established the new covenant.
Jer. 31:31-34 『"The time is coming," declares the LORD, "when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah…"I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying, 'Know the LORD,' because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest."』
In the Hebrew Bible, the word "God" is actually written as "Elohim"-"I will be their God [Elohim]." "Elohim" is the plural form of the word "Eloha," meaning a singular God. Therefore, "Elohim" means "Gods," plural. Once we can understand the concept of Elohim God through the new covenant, we no longer need men to teach us to know God, because we will all know God, from the least of us to the greatest. In the truth of the new covenant, we can only become the children of God when we have God the Father and God the Mother, our Elohim God.
When Elohim God created male and female, They said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness." When Elohim God punished the evil acts of God's people, They said, "Let us go down." When the Gods called to Isaiah, They said, "Who will go for us?" Throughout the Bible, God has existed as the male God and the female God: Elohim.
Elohim will appear in Their own time
God promised that He would appear according to His own timing (1 Tim. 6:15). Let us confirm what form He will appear in.
Rev. 22:17 『The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let him who hears say, "Come!" Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life.』
For our salvation, God always referred to Himself as "us," and then Elohim God appeared-as the Holy Spirit and the Bride-to give us the water of life. In the first book of Timothy, it is written that God alone is immortal and lives in unapproachable light (1 Tim. 6:16). Thus, only the Spirit and the Bride-the Second Coming Christ, Ahnsahnghong, and the New Jerusalem Mother-are immortal and only They have life. Nevertheless, some people boast that they, also, have the power to give life. The people who make such assumptions are greatly mistaken. The Bible says that no one can have life until he or she eats the flesh of the Son of Man and drinks His blood (John 6:53), and Jesus said, "Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead" (Matt. 8:22). Mere human beings, such as ourselves, cannot say that we are alive.
There is no life in us, so we must go to God-Christ Ahnsahnghong and Mother-if we want to receive eternal life and salvation, because They are the only ones who have life. In order to give the everlasting water of life to mortal beings, God came down to this earth in this last age as the Holy Spirit, Ahnsahnghong, and the Bride, the New Jerusalem Mother. People who pervert or deny this Biblical teaching will never be able to enter the kingdom of heaven.
World Mission Society Church of God has received Second Coming Christ Ahnsahnghong, God the Father, and the heavenly Jerusalem, God the Mother.
When people hear the word "God," most immediately think of "God the Father," holding to the fixed idea that only God the Father exists; however, the Bible clearly testifies that there is a God the Mother in addition to a God the Father. We sincerely hope that you can break your fixed, man-made ideas so that you can receive the true Saviors: Christ Ahnsahnghong and Jerusalem Mother.

I will be their God, and they will be my people. No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying, 'Know the LORD,' because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest."』

The Bible says that no one can have life until he or she eats the flesh of the Son of Man and drinks His blood (John 6:53), and Jesus said, "Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead" (Matt. 8:22). Mere human beings, such as ourselves, cannot say that we are alive.
There is no life in us, so we must go to God-Christ Ahnsahnghong and Mother-if we want to receive eternal life and salvation, because They are the only ones who have life. In order to give the everlasting water of life to mortal beings, God came down to this earth in this last age as the Holy Spirit, Ahnsahnghong, and the Bride, the New Jerusalem Mother. People who pervert or deny this Biblical teaching will never be able to enter the kingdom of heaven.
God's endless love
Think of how many people God has used to lead us into the truth. Actually, there are lots of people around us who are sent to us by God. Sometimes they are used to test and refine us, sometimes as our good partners and leaders. God has sent them all to us in order to lead us into the eternal kingdom of heaven. However, we have been ignorant of this fact.
Feel the hand of God, who leads us to heaven through many people and spares nothing to make us new creatures. God loves and cares about us so much.
Rom 5:3-11 ... And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. ...
God loved us and willingly sacrificed Himself for us while we were still sinners who deserve to die, not to be loved by Him. He was whipped, pierced and crushed instead of us who were unredeemable sinners and shed His precious blood, in which He demonstrated His own love for us.
Worldly love is transient and conditional. No matter how much a man and woman love each other, when they get married and live together, they often quarrel with each other. Parents, children, brothers and friends depart from each other as time passes and when their circumstances change, no matter how close they are in the relationship. However, God's love transcends all barriers.
Matt 28:18-20 Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
Only God is with us always, even to the end of the age. He loves us unconditionally; His love remains steadfast in all situations. He did not forsake us while we were still sinners. He is with us always, to the day when we go back to the eternal kingdom of heaven, and is also with us in heaven forever.
1 John 4:7-11 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. ... Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
God is love. We should share God's unchanging and boundless love with our brothers and sisters, with all people around us. As God's children, we are to learn about His love and put it into action.

True Baptism is made in the three Names of God
2000 years ago Jesus Christ commanded the disciples to baptize in the Name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Though he gave this message 2000 years, it was not for them but for. We are living in the last of the Holy Spirit, then when we receive baptism it has to be in the 3 names of God...
Matthew 28:19 "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
Is it important to be baptize? VERY, thru baptism we receive a new life giving to us by Christ and also according to the Bible all of our sins are washed away.
1 Peter 3:21 "and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also—not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a good conscience toward God."
When we receive baptism we have to make sure it is done in the name of the Father Jehovah, the Son Jesus and the Holy Spirit Christ Ahnsahnghong.
Does it really matter if its in the three names? Of course! For this is Christ command to us. But nowadays nobody baptizes in the 3 names, they insist that theres no name of the Holy Spirit, but there is, Jesus Christ testified coming with a new name in the Holy Spirit age.
Revelation 3:12 "...I will write on him 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 him my new name. "
If we dont know the name of the Holy Spirit our baptism doesnt count even if its made by the Pope. Christ Ahnsahnghong is that name you are missing in your baptism.
Heavenly Mother - Source of Forgiveness of sins
The span of our earthly life is 60 or 70 years and anything beyond that point is nothing but sorrowful and painful. Is this earth really designed for us to be happy here? Actually, it is a sin to preach that God is going to make this earth the Kingdom of Heaven for it is written:
Rev 21:1 "Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea.
Everything on this earth will be destroyed because of the sin we have committed against God (Is 24).
Romans 6:23 "for the wages of sin is death..."
Because we committed sin we have to face death. There is no one here on earth that doesn't have to die. Then, what is God's plan for us. Do you believe God will put us here on earth and allow us to have knowledge of God for nothing? While we are on this earth we need to meet God in the flesh who will give us the forgiveness of sins so that we can go back to the Kingdom of Heaven.
Zech 13:1 "On that day a fountain will be opened to the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and impurity."
Zech 14:8 "On that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem, half to the eastern sea [b] and half to the western sea, in summer and in winter"
Jerusalem Mother is the fountain of blessings in the last days who will give us the forgiveness of sins. 2.k years ago Jesus Christ appeared and gave the forgiveness of sins to all who believed in Him. In these Last Days, Second Coming Jesus and Heavenly Mother are also calling us to give us forgiveness of sins (Rev 22:17). If you come to Heavenly Mother Jerusalem, she will deliver You and give you eternal life and the blessing of the forgiveness of sins.
Rev 21:1 "Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea.

The soul (Where does a man go when he dies?)
"What happens to a man when he dies?"..."Does a man really have a spirit?"... "Where does a man go when he dies?" Questions such as these have been a matter of great interest throughout history, but no one has been able to answer them. Men eager to find such answers wrote great philosophies, but mere philosophers could never realize how they had been created.
Christ Ahnsahnghong came to the earth, established the Church of God, and taught us that all men are angels who have come to the earth after sinning in heaven. He let us know how valuable we are and revealed to us the true purpose of our lives.
The Spirit Revealed Through the Creation of Human Beings
Gen. 2:7 『...The LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.』
The dust is not the essence of life; God didn't name the dust itself a "living being." Only after God had breathed the breath of life into the dust, did He call it a "living being." Therefore, the essence of life is not the flesh, but the breath of life, the spirit that God breathed into the dust. Man's flesh is made from the dust, but his spirit is made by God, and is from God.
Solomon wrote, "The dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it" (Eccl. 12:7).
Jesus Taught Us About the "Spirit"
The concept of "spirit" became clearer in the New Testament.
Matt. 10:28 『"Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell."』
In this verse, Jesus describes the same creation process as in Genesis chapter two, revealing the separation between the death of the body [the dust] and the death of the spirit.
The Greek word for soul in this verse is "pneuma," which means "spirit."
John 4:24 『"God is spirit [pneuma]." 』
2 Cor. 33:17 『Now the Lord [Jesus] is the Spirit [pneuma].』
Heb. 1:14 『Are not all angels ministering spirits [pneuma]...?』
God is spirit and doesn't belong in the flesh. Jesus is spirit and doesn't belong in the flesh. Angels are also spirits who do not belong in the flesh. Thus, a man's death can be separated into two events: the death of the flesh and the death of the spirit. The devil, or another man, can kill our body, but it is only God who can destroy our spirit.
The Apostle Paul, in a letter to the Church in Corinth, wrote as follows:
1 Cor. 2:11 『For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit [pneuma] within him? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit [pneuma] of God.』
Jesus taught us that the true essence of our life is not our flesh, but our spirit.
The Apostle Paul's Thoughts About the "Spirit"We try to understand the apostles' minds because their thoughts were established by Jesus' teachings. The apostles understood that our flesh is merely the house of our spirit.
2 Cor. 5:1 『Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed [if our flesh dies], we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.』
Our spirit lives in a temporary earthly tent?our flesh?now, but it will live in an eternal house that God has built for us.
2 Cor. 5:6 『Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord....We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord. So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it.』
In this letter, the Apostle Paul says that the Lord [Jesus] dwells in the world of spirit and that we dwell in the world of flesh. Thus we are away from the Lord as long as we are in the body. The Apostle Paul also reveals that he, and the rest of the saints, would prefer to be away from their bodies and at home with the Lord.
In the above verses, what is the entity that dwells in the body and then leaves the body? Paul's spirit, the very essence of Paul, is the one who wants to leave the body. The body he wore was not the essence of his life, but instead, Paul's spirit?dwelling within his body?was his true self. To say it again, the Apostle Paul lived not for the temporary life in his earthly tent [his flesh], but he longed for the life that he would live in the eternal house. God would give him this everlasting home only after his spirit left its earthly tent.
The Apostle Paul wrote similarly in a letter to the saints in Philippi.
Phil. 1:21-24 『For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain....I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.』
Paul's words, "We...would prefer to be away from the body," in the book of 2 Corinthians 5:6 and the words, "I desire to depart," in the book of Philippians chapter one, have the same meanings. "To be away," or "to depart," means to leave the body. What is the entity that dwells in the body or leaves it? It is Paul's spirit, the true essence of Paul.
Paul revealed that it was more necessary for the saints that he remained in his body. If Paul were to leave his body [if he were to die], he would go to Christ; thus it was good for him to leave the body. If he remained in the body, however, it was good for the saints because then he could teach them the truth of God and guide them down the right path.
Paul also uttered a revelation that God had shown him in another letter to the Church in Corinth.
2 Cor. 12:1 『I must go on boasting. Although there is nothing to be gained, I will go on to visions and revelations from the Lord. I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know?God knows. And I know that this man?whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, but God knows.』
When Paul saw this revelation, he said twice, "...whether I [my spirit] was in the body or out of the body I do not know?God knows."
According to this verse, did the Apostle Paul think that the spirit existed as a separate entity from the body, or did he believe that the spirit did not exist?
If the Apostle Paul believed that the spirit did not exist, could he have said, "Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know?God knows"...? When Paul saw this revelation?describing himself as "a man" he knew (speaking in the third person)?he didn't know whether his spirit had traveled out of the body, or if he had gone to such a paradise in his flesh.
The Apostle Peter's Thoughts About the "Spirit"
The Apostle Peter always remembered what Jesus had told him before His ascension.
John 21:18-19 『"I tell you the truth, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go."Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God.』
When Peter's life of the gospel was about to come to an end, he worried about the saints, remembering what Jesus had told him.
2 Pet. 1:13-14 『I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of this body, because I know that I will soon put it aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me. And I will make every effort to see that after my departure you will always be able to remember these things.』
Peter described his death as "putting aside" the tent of the body, and as his "departure." It is clear that it is Peter's spirit that would leave his body. While his spirit was in a fleshly body, the body itself became his spirit's house; after his spirit's departure, the body would return to the ground.
We study the apostles' thoughts to know the teachings that they learned from Jesus. Through the apostles' explanations of the spirit, we can clearly understand that Jesus Christ had taught and revealed that the spirit exists within men.
My True Life
We often wonder, "Who am I?" Some say, "Man eats to live," while others argue that, "Man lives to eat." Neither of these opinions is correct.
Our main essence is not our physical body, but the spirit inside our body. Our spirit lives in the tent we call our "body." When we go camping, we only stay in a tent for a few days, don't we? The time we spend in the tent is temporary. Likewise, our life within the body?our tent?is only a temporary life.
If we live for our physical body, it means that we are living for our house. Life is to live for ourselves, not for the houses we dwell in.
In our life of faith, we sometimes focus on our physical life more than our spiritual life. Of course, as long as we are in the body, we can't deny the physical life; however, if we live only for a temporary tent which will soon disappear, how pitiful will our life be?
We live in these tents because of our sin, but after we receive the forgiveness of our sins, redemption?under the grace of Christ, the Passover Lamb?our eternal houses wait for us. Let's reconsider what we should focus on while we live on this earth.
2 Cor. 4:18 『So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.』
Christ Ahnsahnghong came to the earth, established the Church of God, and taught us that all men are angels who have come to the earth after sinning in heaven. He let us know how valuable we are and revealed to us the true purpose of our lives.

The dust is not the essence of life; God didn't name the dust itself a "living being." Only after God had breathed the breath of life into the dust, did He call it a "living being." Therefore, the essence of life is not the flesh, but the breath of life, the spirit that God breathed into the dust. Man's flesh is made from the dust, but his spirit is made by God, and is from God.
Solomon wrote, "The dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it" (Eccl. 12:7).

The concept of "spirit" became clearer in the New Testament.

The Greek word for soul in this verse is "pneuma," which means "spirit."
John 4:24 『"God is spirit [pneuma]." 』
2 Cor. 33:17 『Now the Lord [Jesus] is the Spirit [pneuma].』
Heb. 1:14 『Are not all angels ministering spirits [pneuma]...?』
God is spirit and doesn't belong in the flesh. Jesus is spirit and doesn't belong in the flesh. Angels are also spirits who do not belong in the flesh. Thus, a man's death can be separated into two events: the death of the flesh and the death of the spirit. The devil, or another man, can kill our body, but it is only God who can destroy our spirit.

God the Mother - Mystery of God
According to a chart I found online 33% of the World Population are Christians. That's 1/3rd of the Earth's habitants.
However, among all these Christians, I can confidently say that less than 2 Million know the truth about God. This is already proven through the Bible.
Col 2:2 "My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge"
Why does the Bible say that Christ is a mystery? What's so mysterious about Christ? Anyone can simply pick up a Bible and read. At least that's what most Christians do, and this is why they say "I have a personal relationship with Jesus". Then what about this verse? We can't say the Bible is wrong and insist in our own opinion. We must test everything and understand what this means.
2 Cor 4:4 "the good of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that thay cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God"
That is the Mystery of Christ = The Image of God (Gen 1:26,27). The mystery is that God is not only Male but also Female. the Male image of God we call God our Father (Heb 12:9) and the Female image of God, God our Mother (Gal 4:26).
Only in Zion, Church of God World Mission Society we know about the Heavenly Mother Jerusalem. Just like the Old Testament testified about Jesus Christ so the Old and New Testament testify about Heavenly Mother.

As a Christian I believe to understand God's will and his plan is the most important thing in my life of faith. Then, what if God were to come to the earth? Where will He dwell? Will he go to a certain denomination because of it's millions of followers? Will he go to a humble church with not that many followers? Or will He establish His own Church?
Psalms 132:13 {For the LORD has chosen ZION, he's desired it for his dwelling. "This is my resting place for ever and ever; here (In ZION) I will sit enthroned, for I have disred it-" ...}
God chose Zion, He Himself will establish Zion when he comes in the flesh. Zion is the place where the Feast of God are kept (Is 33:20). Only the Church of God World Mission society keeps the Feasts of God Second Coming Christ brought. In Zion, Church of God World Mission Society, you can find the true Creator God in the flesh, for God has desired to dwell in the Church of God World Mission Society, He Himself established it.

The Holy Spirit and the Bride
Numerous churches worldwide claim to believe in God, but actually each of them has a different way of belief. Every denomination worships God in a different way. This is undeniable proof that most churches have no knowledge of God.
The book of Acts describes that Paul became distressed to find an altar with the inscription, ‘TO AN UNKNOWN GOD,' when he traveled to Greece to preach the gospel.
We need to know God fully in order to worship Him correctly. How utterly ridiculous and foolish it is to worship an unknown god and offer sacrifices to him!
When we know God and understand Him correctly, our worship can be true. Let us study the Biblical truths concerning the Holy Spirit and the Bride, so that we can have the true knowledge of God and worship Him rightly, without serving an unknown god.
Let us press on to know God who is the mystery
The Bible teaches us to know God, press on to know Him.
Hos 6:3?『"Let us acknowledge the Lord; let us press on to acknowledge him ["So let us know, let us press on to know the Lord," NASB] . . . "』
If people have no knowledge of God but claim to believe in Him, they are just like the people who worshiped an unknown god, whom Paul met on his missionary journey. They do not really know whom they worship. That's why their faith is called "blind faith."
If we believe in God, we must have true knowledge of Him. We should not commit a foolish act of blindly believing in God and ignorantly worshiping Him, like the people who worshiped at the altar with the inscription: TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.
The 66 books of the Bible testify that God reveals Himself in mysterious ways. About 2,000 years ago, God Himself came to this earth in the name of Jesus and preached the gospel. However, the world did not recognize Him because He came in the flesh.
Col 1:26-27 『the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the saints. To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.』
God came to this earth secretly. So the prophet Hosea said, "Let us know, let us press on to know the Lord," lest we should blaspheme God who has come in the flesh, lest we should claim to know God and believe in Him while praising and worshiping Him with our lips only.
When we rightly know God and truly believe in Him, we can constantly worship Him, whether He reveals Himself in flesh or in spirit. God Himself came to this earth in the flesh and forgave the people, who recognized and received Him and constantly followed His teachings, for all their sins and transgressions. However, many people missed the opportunity to be forgiven because they didn't know God and receive Him.
He came to that which was His own, but His own did not receive Him
At the first coming of Jesus, there was a religion called Judaism which had been handed down for thousands of years. Judaism leaders such as the chief priests, the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, who claimed to believe in God, didn't really know Him. When the Lord God, whom they claimed to believe, came to this earth, they persecuted, cursed and mocked Him, striking Him in the face. It was because they had no knowledge of God. They had been ignorantly worshiping an unknown god.
Jn 1:10-14?『He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God―children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God. The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.』
Religious leaders in those days didn't actually know God. That was why they rejected all the teachings of Jesus. "Isn't this the carpenter's son?" "We all know that Mary is his mother. How can he now say, ‘I came down from heaven'?" "You, a mere man, claim to be God." Saying that, they ridiculed and persecuted Jesus. However, Jesus whom they slandered was the very God they had claimed to believe in.
Jn 1:1 『In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.』
The disciples such as John and Peter recognized God and followed His teachings. Even though they were troubled, persecuted and ridiculed by the people on earth, they finally gained heaven's eternal glory. The wicked ones who slandered them are now tormented in hell, the fiery lake of burning sulfur. Conversely, all who recognized Jesus as God and worshiped Him are now greatly consoled in the heavenly Paradise, aren't they?
We ought to have the correct knowledge of God. Though Jesus came in the flesh, the disciples recognized Him as the Lord God, the Maker of heaven and earth, and worshiped Him. We, too, living in these last days, should have true faith which God approves by rightly knowing Him and receiving Him, that we will gain salvation and entrance into the eternal kingdom of heaven.
God's divine nature abides in all things
First of all, we are to study the Bible if we want to know God. For the Bible testifies about Him. Without studying the Bible, no one can come to God (Jn 5:39-40).
Ro 1:18-20 『The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities―his eternal power and divine nature―have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.』
Rev 4:11 『"You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being."』
All things were created by the will of God, and they reflect His invisible power and divine nature.
There are numerous living creatures in the world: birds flying in the air, fish swimming in the sea, and all the wild animals running around the open fields. God created all these living things by His consistent will. What was His will then?
The birds in the air have their fathers and mothers. The fishes of the sea also have their fathers and mothers. And the zebras on the field have their fathers and mothers, too.
All living creatures have their fathers and mothers. Specifically, it is mothers who give life to them. Through this providence in creation, God wants us to know His will.
Male and female were created in the image of God
Let's see whether it reflects God's divine nature that all living things have both their fathers and mothers.
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.』
Today, almost all churches insist that only one God the Father created man and all things by Himself. However, God said in Genesis the first book of the Bible: "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness." He didn't say, "I will make man in My image." From this we can see that plural Gods created mankind.
Male and female were created in the image of God (Ge 1:26-27). This shows that the image of God includes both male and female. God in the male image is called "Father." So when people pray for God's blessing, they begin with "Our Father in heaven."
Why do they call God "Father"? Because He gave them life and birth. Here a question may arise: ‘Did only God the Father give life?' We must not forget that the plural Gods created man, saying, "Let us make man," then male and female were created. Here we can understand that there are two Gods, not a single God.
All living creatures have their fathers and mothers. They reflect the invisible nature of God. In Genesis 1, we see that male and female were created in the image of God. We call the male image of God "Father God." Then, we should call the female image of God "Mother God," shouldn't we?
Our Father and Mother in heaven
Through the nature of things, God has already showed us His invisible nature as male and female―Father and Mother. The Bible clearly teaches us that God is both our Father and Mother.
Mt 6:9 『"This, then, is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name . . .' "』
Jesus taught us to call God "Father." God must be our spiritual Father. When God is called "our Father," who are "we" then? "We" are the ones to be saved. The Bible testifies that the ones to be saved have God the Mother as well as God the Father.
Gal 4:26 『But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.』
All Scripture is written by God-inspired prophets, which gives us the wisdom that leads to salvation (2 Ti 3:15-16). The book of Matthew describes the truth about God the Father, and the book of Galatians reveals the truth about God the Mother.
Salvation can be given to us by both God the Father and God the Mother. By believing in only God the Father, nobody can be saved.
The dragon [the ancient serpent, the devil] is the enemy of the woman
We have not only God our Father, but also God our Mother. Since the Bible teaches us to press on to know God, we should also know God the Mother and believe in Her.
The enemy, the devil, persecuted God our Father who came in the flesh about 2,000 years ago. God already showed the Apostle John by revelation that he would oppose God our Mother and blaspheme Her in the last days.
Rev 12:17 『Then the dragon was enraged at the woman and went off to make war against the rest of her offspring―those who obey God's commandments and hold to the testimony of Jesus. And the dragon stood on the shore of the sea.』
It is described in Genesis that God put enmity between the serpent and the woman. "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" (Ge 3:15). This prophecy refers to the last days.
The book of Revelation states that the devil represented by the dragon was enraged at the woman and went off to make war against the rest of the woman's offspring. As described in Revelation, the devil our wicked enemy will stand on the sand of the sea to make war against the 144,000 children gathered by God the Mother.
In this war, the rest of the woman's offspring will crush the serpent's head, and the serpent will strike their heels, just as God had said. In accordance with the prophecy, the devil may strike a blow, which is not fatal, against the woman's offspring; but the serpent will suffer a deadly blow. The Bible already prophesied about the last spiritual battle and the victory of the woman's offspring as well. The way to achieve victory is to keep God's commandments with perfect faith in Father and Mother.
We should know both the Father God and the Mother God, and in accordance with Their will we ought to worship Them and give glory to Them. If we don't, our faith will not be approved by God, even though we feel confident and self-assured about our faith. If we worship God in ignorance, however diligently we do, it is meaningless.
Think of Cain's sacrifice. He believed in God, but he didn't know how to worship God; he offered his sacrifice according to his own desire, and God rejected his offering.
It was not pleasing to God to worship Him ignorantly and offer sacrifices without obedience to His will. Cain worshipped God in his own way by offering Him an unacceptable sacrifice. However, Abel knew what God required and offered a blood sacrifice, which was pleasing and acceptable to God.
The Spirit and the Bride give us the water of life
God alone has eternal life. So the Bible teaches us to press on to know God. Without knowing God, we can't come to Him to receive eternal life.
Rev 22:17-19 『The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let him who hears say, "Come!" Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life. 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 Spirit is God the Father in the Trinity. So His Bride must be God the Mother. Now the Spirit and the Bride say, "Come! Take the water of life!" In order to go to the Father and Mother, we should know Them and understand that no one can give us eternal life except the Father and Mother. It is only through the Spirit and the Bride that we can get the water of life for the healing of mankind. These words should not be taken away from the Bible.
God came in the flesh as the Spirit and the Bride to call us. We should correctly know the Spirit and the Bride―God our Father and our heavenly Mother the new Jerusalem, who lead us to the eternal kingdom of heaven, and also should receive Them as our Saviors. Though the devil, our wicked enemy, slanders and deceives us by all means, we should stand firm in faith and resist him as God's children who are strong like Gideon's warriors.
We are happy that we have our heavenly Father. We are truly blessed to have our heavenly Mother. We shall remain in Zion, keeping our faith in God Elohim and Their commandments to the end. Let us proclaim the Spirit and the Bride, who give us the water of life, to the ends of the earth, so that we may receive the blessing of eternal life from God our Father and God our Mother.
The book of Acts describes that Paul became distressed to find an altar with the inscription, ‘TO AN UNKNOWN GOD,' when he traveled to Greece to preach the gospel.
We need to know God fully in order to worship Him correctly. How utterly ridiculous and foolish it is to worship an unknown god and offer sacrifices to him!
When we know God and understand Him correctly, our worship can be true. Let us study the Biblical truths concerning the Holy Spirit and the Bride, so that we can have the true knowledge of God and worship Him rightly, without serving an unknown god.
Let us press on to know God who is the mystery
The Bible teaches us to know God, press on to know Him.

All things were created by the will of God, and they reflect His invisible power and divine nature.

Let's see whether it reflects God's divine nature that all living things have both their fathers and mothers.
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.』
Today, almost all churches insist that only one God the Father created man and all things by Himself. However, God said in Genesis the first book of the Bible: "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness." He didn't say, "I will make man in My image."

Our Father and Mother in heaven
Through the nature of things, God has already showed us His invisible nature as male and female―Father and Mother. The Bible clearly teaches us that God is both our Father and Mother.
Mt 6:9 『"This, then, is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name . . .' "』
Jesus taught us to call God "Father." God must be our spiritual Father. When God is called "our Father," who are "we" then? "We" are the ones to be saved. The Bible testifies that the ones to be saved have God the Mother as well as God the Father.
Gal 4:26 『But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.』
All Scripture is written by God-inspired prophets, which gives us the wisdom that leads to salvation (2 Ti 3:15-16). The book of Matthew describes the truth about God the Father, and the book of Galatians reveals the truth about God the Mother.
Salvation can be given to us by both God the Father and God the Mother. By believing in only God the Father, nobody can be saved.
The dragon [the ancient serpent, the devil] is the enemy of the woman
We have not only God our Father, but also God our Mother. Since the Bible teaches us to press on to know God, we should also know God the Mother and believe in Her.
The enemy, the devil, persecuted God our Father who came in the flesh about 2,000 years ago. God already showed the Apostle John by revelation that he would oppose God our Mother and blaspheme Her in the last days.
Rev 12:17 『Then the dragon was enraged at the woman and went off to make war against the rest of her offspring―those who obey God's commandments and hold to the testimony of Jesus. And the dragon stood on the shore of the sea.』
It is described in Genesis that God put enmity between the serpent and the woman. "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" (Ge 3:15). This prophecy refers to the last days.
The book of Revelation states that the devil represented by the dragon was enraged at the woman and went off to make war against the rest of the woman's offspring. As described in Revelation, the devil our wicked enemy will stand on the sand of the sea to make war against the 144,000 children gathered by God the Mother.
In this war, the rest of the woman's offspring will crush the serpent's head, and the serpent will strike their heels, just as God had said. In accordance with the prophecy, the devil may strike a blow, which is not fatal, against the woman's offspring; but the serpent will suffer a deadly blow. The Bible already prophesied about the last spiritual battle and the victory of the woman's offspring as well. The way to achieve victory is to keep God's commandments with perfect faith in Father and Mother.
We should know both the Father God and the Mother God, and in accordance with Their will we ought to worship Them and give glory to Them. If we don't, our faith will not be approved by God, even though we feel confident and self-assured about our faith. If we worship God in ignorance, however diligently we do, it is meaningless.

The Spirit is God the Father in the Trinity. So His Bride must be God the Mother. Now the Spirit and the Bride say, "Come! Take the water of life!" In order to go to the Father and Mother, we should know Them and understand that no one can give us eternal life except the Father and Mother.

The Parable of the Fig Tree
The Bible prophesied that Jesus would appear a second time (Heb. 9:28). Ahnsahnghong-whom the Church of God believes in as their Savior-is Jesus who has come a second time, according to the prophecy.
Then, when is Jesus prophesied to come a second time? Why does the Church of God believe that the Second Coming Christ is Ahnsahnghong?
Through the parable of the fig tree, Jesus revealed that He would come for the second time in 1948, when Israel-represented as the fig tree-would gain its independence. Ahnsahnghong came in 1948 according to the prophecy of the fig tree, so the Church of God believes in Him as the Second Coming Christ.
Then, does the Bible disclose when Jesus will come?
Signs of the End of the Age
When the disciples asked about the signs of Jesus’ second coming and of the end of the age, Jesus said:
Matt. 24:3-33 『"...At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, And all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on The clouds of the sky, with power and great glory. And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other. Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door."』
Since it is written, "As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that it is near," we must come to know the timing of the fig tree and we must receive Jesus when He comes a second time.
The Fig Tree Stands for Israel
First, we must understand what the fig tree represents. As it is written,
Luke 13:6-7 『Then he told this parable: "A man had a fig tree, planted in his vineyard, and he went to look for fruit on it, but did not find any. So he said to the man who took care of the vineyard, 'For three years now I've been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree and haven't found any. Cut it down! Why should it use up the soil?'"』
What does Jesus’ looking for fruit on a fig tree planted in a vineyard, for three years, mean? It means that Jesus preached the gospel to the Israelites for three years, searching for the fruit of the gospel. Therefore, the fig tree stands for Israel. Through many other Bible verses, let’s confirm that the fig tree in the vineyard represents Israel.
Isa. 5:7, KJV 『For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant.』
In the above verse also, the vineyard represents the country Israel, and the plant [the tree] stands for the people of Israel. Let’s look at another verse concerning this.
Jer. 24:5 『"This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: 'Like these good figs, I regard as good the exiles from Judah, whom I sent away from this place to the land of the Babylonians.’"』
Since it is written that God regards the exiles from Judah as the good figs, it is clear that the fig tree stands for Israel.
The Fall of Israel
In Luke 13:7, Jesus told His disciples to cut down a fig tree that had not borne any fruit. Just as He had told them, Israel-which rejected the gospel that Jesus had preached for three years-was completely destroyed by Roman soldiers in A.D. 70. Following its collapse, the people of Israel were scattered all over the world, as a stateless people, for about 1,900 years.
The Revival of the Fig Tree: Israel
After much time had passed, the fig tree-that had been cut and dried up-began to revive. Its twigs got tender and its leaves came out. When did all of this happen? The revival of the fig tree occurred in 1948. On May 14, 1948, Israel proclaimed her independence and recovered her sovereignty. The fig tree, which seemed to have completely died, revived. At that time, Jesus came for a second time, as was prophesied. He was Christ Ahnsahnghong, whom every Christian had been waiting for. The Church of God received Ahnsahnghong, the Second Coming Jesus, as Savior.
Rom. 11:26 『And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: "The deliverer will come from Zion; he will turn godlessness away from Jacob."』
Ahnsahnghong, the Second Coming Jesus, came from Zion in 1948, as had been prophesied in the parable of the fig tree. Now He is calling you. Will you let Him stand at your door, or will you open the door and receive Him?
We earnestly hope that you will open your door and receive Ahnsahnghong-the Second Coming Jesus-and be given the promise of salvation.
Then, when is Jesus prophesied to come a second time? Why does the Church of God believe that the Second Coming Christ is Ahnsahnghong?
Through the parable of the fig tree, Jesus revealed that He would come for the second time in 1948, when Israel-represented as the fig tree-would gain its independence. Ahnsahnghong came in 1948 according to the prophecy of the fig tree, so the Church of God believes in Him as the Second Coming Christ.
Then, does the Bible disclose when Jesus will come?
Signs of the End of the Age
When the disciples asked about the signs of Jesus’ second coming and of the end of the age, Jesus said:
Matt. 24:3-33 『"...At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, And all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on The clouds of the sky, with power and great glory. And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other. Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door."』
Since it is written, "As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that it is near," we must come to know the timing of the fig tree and we must receive Jesus when He comes a second time.
The Fig Tree Stands for Israel
First, we must understand what the fig tree represents. As it is written,
Luke 13:6-7 『Then he told this parable: "A man had a fig tree, planted in his vineyard, and he went to look for fruit on it, but did not find any. So he said to the man who took care of the vineyard, 'For three years now I've been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree and haven't found any. Cut it down! Why should it use up the soil?'"』
What does Jesus’ looking for fruit on a fig tree planted in a vineyard, for three years, mean? It means that Jesus preached the gospel to the Israelites for three years, searching for the fruit of the gospel. Therefore, the fig tree stands for Israel. Through many other Bible verses, let’s confirm that the fig tree in the vineyard represents Israel.
Isa. 5:7, KJV 『For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant.』
In the above verse also, the vineyard represents the country Israel, and the plant [the tree] stands for the people of Israel. Let’s look at another verse concerning this.
Jer. 24:5 『"This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: 'Like these good figs, I regard as good the exiles from Judah, whom I sent away from this place to the land of the Babylonians.’"』
Since it is written that God regards the exiles from Judah as the good figs, it is clear that the fig tree stands for Israel.
The Fall of Israel
In Luke 13:7, Jesus told His disciples to cut down a fig tree that had not borne any fruit. Just as He had told them, Israel-which rejected the gospel that Jesus had preached for three years-was completely destroyed by Roman soldiers in A.D. 70. Following its collapse, the people of Israel were scattered all over the world, as a stateless people, for about 1,900 years.
The Revival of the Fig Tree: Israel
After much time had passed, the fig tree-that had been cut and dried up-began to revive. Its twigs got tender and its leaves came out. When did all of this happen? The revival of the fig tree occurred in 1948. On May 14, 1948, Israel proclaimed her independence and recovered her sovereignty. The fig tree, which seemed to have completely died, revived. At that time, Jesus came for a second time, as was prophesied. He was Christ Ahnsahnghong, whom every Christian had been waiting for. The Church of God received Ahnsahnghong, the Second Coming Jesus, as Savior.
Rom. 11:26 『And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: "The deliverer will come from Zion; he will turn godlessness away from Jacob."』
Ahnsahnghong, the Second Coming Jesus, came from Zion in 1948, as had been prophesied in the parable of the fig tree. Now He is calling you. Will you let Him stand at your door, or will you open the door and receive Him?
We earnestly hope that you will open your door and receive Ahnsahnghong-the Second Coming Jesus-and be given the promise of salvation.
Christ Ahnsahnghong brought the passover
Passover is the truth of life that has been kept hidden for many generations. Two thousand years ago, Jesus Christ Established the Passover of the New Covenant. However, the Passover was abolished in 325AD. through the Nicean Council. On the other hand, God's plan for salvation is at hand and does not delay. According to the Bible the Passover will be re-established in the last days by Second Coming Christ.
Prophecy has been fulfilled!!!
Christ Ahnsahnghong has come and brought us the Passover. Christ Ahnsahnghong established the Church of God World Mission Society which is the church that keeps the Passover of the New Covenant. This year the Passover is on March 29, at sunset. Wherever you are in the world come to Church of God World Mission Society to celebrate the Passover because it is extremely important for your protection and salvation. Through the Passover Christ Ahnsahnghong promise us forgiveness of sins, eternal life and protection because we receive the Seal of God. Christ Ahnsahnghong taught us that the Passover is the way for us to enter the Kingdom of Heaven and be save.
Now a days as you can see many disasters are taking place all around the world. However, Christ Ahnsahnghong testify that if you celebrate the Passover nothing will happen to you. Here is a small video of the testimonies of different brothers and sisters around the world that has been caught themselves in the middle of a disaster, but because they celebrated the Passover, they were protected just as our Heavenly Father Christ Ahnahnghong said:
Matthew 26:17-28 "On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?"He replied, "Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, 'The Teacher says: My appointed time is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.' "So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover....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."
John 6:53-56 "Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him."

Keep Sabbath Holy and Christ Ahnsahnghong
Our Heavenly Father Ahnsanghong has come to this earth a second time to give us Salvation Eternal Life, He let us know the true in the Bible, show us what we should do to enter to Kingdom of Heaven.
God's people must follow the words of God absolutely. We cannot take away or add anything to the word of God in the Bible If we do what will happen to us?
Rev 22.18-19: I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll. 19 And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll.
If anyone adds to the Bible, God will add to him the plagues and if anyone takes away from the Bible, he cannot enter the kingdom of heaven. So, we must not add to God's words or take away from them.
One of the teachings and Command from God is to Keep Sabbath Holy, Sabbath means rest and is the 7th day of the week which is Saturday, God establish that day for or own Salvation He either set a this Day from the creation.
Gen 2.1-3 Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.
2 By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. 3 Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.
God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, so the seventh-day is the holy worship day. God separated this day for us to know God and God now His Children's this day is so important that God put it in the 10 commandment.
Ex 20:8-10 “Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 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 male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns.
The Seventh-day is Sabbath the commandment of God, He commanded us to Remember this day by keeping it holy, if any ones takes away the Sabbath or adds something different, he cannot be saved, Sabbath Day - the Seventh Day of the week - Saturday, is so important because in this day we received the sing between God and us.
Ex 31:13 “Say to the Israelites, ‘You must observe my Sabbaths. This will be a sign between me and you for the generations to come, so you may know that I am the LORD, who makes you holy.
The Sabbath-Saturday is a sing between God and His people, therefore, God's people must keep the Sabbath Day as God command. Some People say that the Sabbath was abolish in the New Testament times, but this is not true Jesus Him self set an example of keeping the truth.
LK 4:16: 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. He stood up to read,
The Sabbath is Jesus' custom, which means a ceremony that is conducted regularly.Then many said "we don't keep the Sabbath Day - Saturday, and we keep Sunday because Jesus abolish it by the Crucifixion, but this also is not truth because Apostle Paul follow the example of Jesus Christ and Keep also Sabbath Day as his custom.
Ac 17.2-3 As was his custom, Paul went into the synagogue, and on three Sabbath days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures, 3 explaining and proving that the Messiah had to suffer and rise from the dead. “This Jesus I am proclaiming to you is the Messiah,” he said. ( Ac 18.4 Every Sabbath).
Apostle Paul kept the Sabbath even after the Crucifixion. So, it is wrong that the Sabbath Day - Saturday was abolished after the Crucifixion, and the New Testament never says that we should keep Sunday instead of the Sabbath. The Bible commands us to keep the Sabbath until the end of the age.
Mt 24.20 Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath.
Jesus and his disciples set an example of Keeping the Sabbath, therefore we have to follow the example and keep Sabbath Day, if we don't follow God's command and don't keep the will of God we can never enter Kingdom of Heaven.
Mt 7.21-23 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’
The purpose of our faith is to enter Kingdom of Heaven, according to the Bible, He who does the will of God can enter to kingdom of heaven and those who don't never will enter. God will is the Sabbath Day not Sunday as Satan made us believe all this time since 325 AD when Satan change Sabbath Day the commandments of God and place instead Sunday which is the Day of the pagan Sun god.Though all this time we been living in darkness keeping Satan law which is the law of death, God second coming Christ is so merciful that He came again to reveal the truth and show us the way of Salvation the Law of God which is the law of Eternal Life.
Heb 9.28 so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.
Christ Ahnsahnghong Second Coming Christ came to this earth again to reveal the truth, show us the way of Salvation, so now we can know what is the truth and false, the light and darkness. Then, let's truly believe in our savior in this age, second coming Christ Ahnsahnghong and keep the law of Eternal Life, only World Mission Society Church of God is the true Church where Law of God is kept, the place where true God Almighty duels.
