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.
4 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."
5 Then will the eyes of the blind be opened and the ears of the deaf unstopped.
6 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)

The Hidden Manna and a New Name
World Mission Society Church Of God believes in christ Ahnsahnghong and God the mother.
World Mission Society Church Of God believes in christ Ahnsahnghong and the Heavenly mother.
Jn 5:39 These are the Scriptures that testify about me [Jesus].
The Bible testifies to Jesus Christ. Let's study the prophecy of the hidden manna for us to recognize the Second Coming Jesus.
When Jesus came, He was asked by the Jews to give them a miraculous sign so that they could believe in Him as the Christ. What did Jesus give them as the positive sign that He is the Christ?
Jn 6:29 The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.
Jn 6:30 What miraculous sign then will you give that we may see it and believe you? What will you do?
Jn 6:31 Our forefathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written: 'He gave them bread from heaven to eat' (Ex. 16:4, 31).
The Jews wanted Jesus to give them a sign to believe in Him just as Moses did. Jesus said that He was the manna from heaven. That was the sign for them to accept Jesus as the Christ. Now let's find out what the manna is, the sign of Christ Jesus.
Jn 6:49-50 Here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which a man
may eat and not die.
Jn 6:51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven (Jesus is the manna).
Jn 6:53-55 Whoever eats my [Jesus'] flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life.
Jn 6:58 he who feeds on this bread (Jesus' flesh and blood) will live forever.
Jesus is the heavenly manna which gives everyone eternal life. Truly Jesus showed the Jews the reliable sign that He is the Christ, but they refused to believe Him. What is the reason?
Jn 6:41-42 Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, 'I came down from heaven'?
Jn 6:52 How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
Jn 6:66 Many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him
The Jews decided not to believe Him because Jesus came in the flesh and they didn't understand His words of life. They left Jesus, the Savior. However, His chosen people still remained faithful to Jesus because of the words of eternal life.
Jn 6:67-69 Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.
How could they have the heavenly manna which gives eternal life?
Mt 26:17, 26-28 Take and eat: this is my body … Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant.
Jesus allowed His twelve disciples to have the heavenly manna through the Passover so that they might have eternal life. In 325 A.D., however, the Passover was abolished by Satan. The Passover, heavenly manna, has been long hidden since then. So, Jesus will appear a second time to give the hidden manna for our salvation in the last days.
Heb 9:28 he will appear a second time … to bring salvation (eternal life).
The Second Coming Jesus will appear with the hidden manna and His new name in the last days. Only those who receive Him as Christ can have the hidden manna and His new name.
Rev 2:17 To him who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give him a white stone with a new name written on it.
The prophet Isaiah prophesied that the Second Coming Christ, God, will appear and bring us the hidden manna, the Passover, in the last days.
Isa 25:6-9 On this mountain (Zion, Isa 24:23) the LORD Almighty will prepare a feast of rich food for all peoples, a banquet of aged wine (the Passover) … Surely this is our God; we trusted in him, and he saved us.
In these last days, Christ Ahnsahnghong has restored the hidden manna, the Passover, with Jesus' new name in the last days. He is the Second Coming Jesus. In spite of such undeniable signs, some refuse to believe Ahnsahnghong as our God. They are like the Jews who didn't believe Jesus and crucified Him, even though He showed them the solid sign. Let's believe Christ Ahnsahnghong and follow Him to the end.

Veil
World Mission Society Church of God- In this age, only God the Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother (Heavenly Mother) can give us salvation.
God’s children value the laws of God. Let us introduce the truths of the new covenant of the early Church, which were restored by the Second Coming Christ Ahnsahnghong.
Matt. 22:1-14 『..."The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son...But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes. 'Friend,' he asked, 'how did you get in here without wedding clothes?' The man was speechless. Then the king told the attendants, 'Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'..."』
In the above words, spoken by Jesus, it is clear that there is a regulation for God's people to wear wedding clothes when they enter the heavenly wedding banquet. It is a promise we make with God.
Likewise, when we worship God, there are certain regulations. Worship services should be held according to the teachings of God. Firstly, we should have a godly mind when worshiping God, and, secondly, women should wear veils.
All of the women of the Church of God wear veils during worship services, according to the teachings of the Second Coming Christ Ahnsahnghong. By wearing veils, they can worship God with a godly mind. Men do not cover their heads during worship services.
God gave us this veil regulation as a sign representing God's authority. Even though this regulation seems minor, it cannot be neglected. None of God's commands were instituted meaninglessly. All of the regulations were given to God's people because they are necessary for our salvation and allow us to enter the kingdom of God.
Hos. 8:12 『"I wrote for them the many things of my law, but they regarded them as something alien."』
If we regard God's regulations as trivial, God will regard us as trivial.
Woman’s Veil Is God’s CommandmentChrist commanded that during worship service men should not cover their heads, but women ought to cover their heads.
1 Cor. 11:1-6 『Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ....』
The Apostle Paul emphasized that his teachings were from Christ, not from his own personal opinions.
Through Christ's teaching, we discover that men ought not to cover their heads, but that women should cover their heads while worshiping God.
During the time of Moses, the head of a woman stood for the man. Thus, it was regarded as very shameful if a woman uncovered her head in front of a man or even loosened her hair. In fact, when a Jewish man chose to marry a Gentile captive, he would shave the woman's head to wash away the shame of her prior ignorance of God.
The words, "It is just as though her head were shaved," refer to this very shameful occurrence.

Abraham's family and Mother
God(Christ Ahsahnghong) said that there is our God the Mother(Heavenly Mother) in heaven. Let’s find out about Heavenly Jerusalem Mother ( God the Mother )through the Bible in World Mission Soceity Church of God.
The character Abraham is used to represent God in the Bible. Through the history of Abraham's family, God has revealed to us how we can inherit the kingdom of heaven.
Isaac was the one who received Abraham's inheritance. Even though Abraham had another son named Ishmael, born through Hagar, God did not allow Ishmael to receive the inheritance of Abraham. Rather, God bestowed the inheritance upon Isaac, who was born through Sarah. The reason why Isaac was chosen as Abraham's heir was that Isaac was the son of Sarah, who was free. This history shows us that the heavenly inheritance will be given to those who are born of the heavenly Mother, who is free.
Christ Ahnsahnghong taught us that our heavenly Mother does in fact exist and that She is truly the biggest mystery hidden within the Bible.
Let us study "The History of Abraham's Family and Mother," taught to us by Christ Ahnsahnghong.
Abraham Represents GodFirst of all, we need to recognize who the character Abraham represents in the Bible.
Luke 16:19-31 『"...The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried. In hell, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. So he called to him, 'Father Abraham...' "』
As you know, this parable is about a beggar, named Lazarus, and a rich man. The parable tells of Lazarus, who died and was carried to heaven, and a rich man, who was sent to hell to be tormented. Lazarus was obviously carried to God's side after he had died; however, the Bible states that Lazarus traveled to Abraham's side. In the parable, the rich man, who went to hell, called up to God in the distance; however, the Bible states that the man saw Abraham, and called up to him, saying, "Father Abraham." Who is the only one who is worthy to be called "Father" in the spiritual world? God is the only one who can be called upon in this way. Then, whom does Abraham represent? Logically, the character Abraham was chosen to represent God. Therefore, the inheritance of Abraham can be likened to the inheritance of God, the kingdom of heaven.
Isaac, the Heir of AbrahamThen, let us find out who was appointed as Abraham’s heir. There were three candidates who could have been chosen as the heir of Abraham: Eliezer, Ishmael, and Isaac. Among them, who became Abraham’s heir? It was Isaac who was appointed. We need to understand the reason why Isaac was chosen to be Abraham’s heir.
Gen. 15:1-4 『...But Abram said, "O Sovereign LORD, what can you give me since I remain childless and the one who will inherit my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?" And Abram said, "You have given me no children; so a servant in my household will be my heir." Then the word of the LORD came to him: "This man will not be your heir, but a son coming from your own body will be your heir."』
When Abraham was an old man and had not yet borne a son, he asked God to allow his servant Eliezer to be his heir. However, God did not allow Eliezer to become Abraham’s heir, revealing that a son would be born from Abraham’s own body and that he would become his heir. Some time later, Hagar, Sarah’s maidservant, bore Abraham a son: Ishmael.
Gen. 16:1-15 『Now Sarai, Abram's wife, had borne him no children. But she had an Egyptian maidservant named Hagar; so she said to Abram, "The LORD has kept me from having children. Go, sleep with my maidservant; perhaps I can build a family through her." Abram agreed to what Sarai said...So Hagar bore Abram a son, and Abram gave the name Ishmael to the son she had borne.』
Ishmael was born to Abraham through a maidservant named Hagar, and Abraham asked God to allow Ishmael to become his heir.
Gen. 17:18-19 『And Abraham said to God, "If only Ishmael might live under your blessing!" Then God said, "Yes, but your wife Sarah will bear you a son, and you will call him Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him.』
When Abraham said to God, "If only Ishmael might live under your blessing," God did not allow Ishmael to become his heir. Instead, God promised Abraham that he would have a son through his wife, Sarah. Isaac was born as God had promised, and of the three?Eliezer, Ishmael, and Isaac?Isaac was chosen to be Abraham’s heir.
The Key Factor in Deciding an Heir Is "Mother"Let’s study the reason why God chose Isaac to be Abraham’s heir. Both Eliezer’s father and his mother were slaves, neither of them was free. This is the reason why God did not allow him to be Abraham’s heir. Ishmael’s father, Abraham, was free, but his mother, Hagar, was a slave and not a free woman. This is why God could not allow Ishmael to become Abraham’s heir. Isaac’s father, Abraham, was a free man, and his mother, Sarah, was a free woman. The fact that Isaac had been born of a free woman was the big difference between Ishmael and Isaac, and this discrepancy became the key factor in choosing Abraham’s heir.
In those days, the eldest son inherited all of his family’s property. Since Ishmael was older than Isaac, he should have become the heir? that is, if God had made His decision according to the paternal line. Ishmael was not chosen to become Abraham’s heir, even though he was Abraham’s eldest son, because his mother was not a free woman, but a slave. Thus, it is clear that the decisive factor in choosing Abraham’s heir was his mother.
What we need to focus on while studying the history of Abraham’s family is not merely the story of a man and his family. As you know, the Bible is not a storybook to tell us of men and their families. Nevertheless, God repeatedly mentioned the story of this particular family. Actually, the history of Abraham was a shadow of what was to happen in the future. In order for us to know who could become God’s heir, the story of Abraham’s family was written, as a prophecy.
Therefore, through the history of Abraham’s family, we can clearly understand that the decisive factor in choosing an heir is the mother. As Isaac became Abraham’s heir through Sarah, his free mother, we can become God’s heirs through our heavenly Mother, who is a free woman. Only those who believe in the heavenly Mother?only the children who are born through the new covenant?can inherit the heavenly Father’s kingdom. Let us read one more verse testifying about the heavenly Mother.
Gal. 4:22-31 『...But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother...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 declares that we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman. Ishmael could not inherit his father’s estate because his mother, Hagar, was only a slave, not a free woman. On the other hand, Isaac was chosen to become Abraham’s heir because his mother, Sarah, was a free woman. The Bible also testifies that we, like Isaac, are the children of promise, the children of the heavenly Mother, who is free.
In today’s world, there are three types of people: those who are like Eliezer, those like Ishmael, and those who are like Isaac. The first type of people, who are like Eliezer, are atheists, who do not believe in Father God or in Mother God. The second type of people, who are like Ishmael, are those who believe in Father God, but do not believe in Mother God. The third type of people, who are like Isaac, are those who believe in Mother God as well as Father God. According to the history of Abraham’s family, which one of these three types can become an heir of the kingdom of heaven? Only the third type of people, who are like Isaac, can be recognized as God’s heirs. There is no doubt about it.
Which group of people do you want to be classified with? If you want to be like Isaac, you must first become a child of the free woman. Thus, you must accept the heavenly Mother, who is free. The Bible testifies to this fact.
God said, "My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge" (Hos. 4:6). What kind of knowledge is God referring to in this verse? We must recognize that we have a God the Mother, as well as a God the Father. We must accept Elohim God. Also, we must firmly believe that God is our Mother, who gives us salvation alongside our Father. Only after we come to realize this can we say that we have the knowledge of God, and that we will not be those who are destroyed from a "lack of knowledge."
The Bible testifies that the Holy Spirit is God Ahnsahnghong, and that the Bride is Jerusalem Mother. Let us accept God Ahnsahnghong, the Holy Spirit, and Jerusalem Mother, the Bride, who give us the water of life in these last days, so that we can enter the kingdom of heaven.
The character Abraham is used to represent God in the Bible. Through the history of Abraham's family, God has revealed to us how we can inherit the kingdom of heaven.
Isaac was the one who received Abraham's inheritance. Even though Abraham had another son named Ishmael, born through Hagar, God did not allow Ishmael to receive the inheritance of Abraham. Rather, God bestowed the inheritance upon Isaac, who was born through Sarah. The reason why Isaac was chosen as Abraham's heir was that Isaac was the son of Sarah, who was free. This history shows us that the heavenly inheritance will be given to those who are born of the heavenly Mother, who is free.
Christ Ahnsahnghong taught us that our heavenly Mother does in fact exist and that She is truly the biggest mystery hidden within the Bible.
Let us study "The History of Abraham's Family and Mother," taught to us by Christ Ahnsahnghong.

However, God did not allow Eliezer to become Abraham’s heir, revealing that a son would be born from Abraham’s own body and that he would become his heir.

Go, sleep with my maidservant; perhaps I can build a family through her." Abram agreed to what Sarai said...So Hagar bore Abram a son, and Abram gave the name Ishmael to the son she had borne.』
Ishmael was born to Abraham through a maidservant named Hagar, and Abraham asked God to allow Ishmael to become his heir.
Gen. 17:18-19 『And Abraham said to God, "If only Ishmael might live under your blessing!" Then God said, "Yes, but your wife Sarah will bear you a son, and you will call him Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him.』

The Bible declares that we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman. Ishmael could not inherit his father’s estate because his mother, Hagar, was only a slave, not a free woman. On the other hand, Isaac was chosen to become Abraham’s heir because his mother, Sarah, was a free woman.

The second type of people, who are like Ishmael, are those who believe in Father God, but do not believe in Mother God. The third type of people, who are like Isaac, are those who believe in Mother God as well as Father God. According to the history of Abraham’s family, which one of these three types can become an heir of the kingdom of heaven? Only the third type of people, who are like Isaac, can be recognized as God’s heirs. There is no doubt about it.
Which group of people do you want to be classified with? If you want to be like Isaac, you must first become a child of the free woman. Thus, you must accept the heavenly Mother, who is free. The Bible testifies to this fact.
God said, "My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge" (Hos. 4:6). What kind of knowledge is God referring to in this verse? We must recognize that we have a God the Mother, as well as a God the Father. We must accept Elohim God. Also, we must firmly believe that God is our Mother, who gives us salvation alongside our Father. Only after we come to realize this can we say that we have the knowledge of God, and that we will not be those who are destroyed from a "lack of knowledge."
The Bible testifies that the Holy Spirit is God Ahnsahnghong, and that the Bride is Jerusalem Mother. Let us accept God Ahnsahnghong, the Holy Spirit, and Jerusalem Mother, the Bride, who give us the water of life in these last days, so that we can enter the kingdom of heaven.
The Sabbath and God the Creator
World Mission Society Church of God- In this age, only God the Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother (Heavenly Mother) can give us salvation.
God's people, who keep the appointed feasts of God, can realize God's providence contained in the feasts and can also understand the love of God who spares no pains to save the souls of His children. So, they love God's commands more than pure gold and keep them holy (Ps 119:127; 50:5).
The Sabbath, one of God's feasts described in the Bible, is a day for us to commemo-rate God as the Creator who made all things and to worship Him. God completed His work of creation in six days and rested on the seventh day. Then He blessed the seventh day and made it holy. In the time of Moses, God commanded His people to "remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy" as the fourth of the Ten Commandments. It's because the Sabbath is a day which God blessed and a day for His people to commemorate the power of the Creator (Ge 2:1-3; Ex 20:8-11).
The Sabbath was kept not only in the age of the Father but also in the age of the Son; in many parts of the Bible we can see Jesus and His apostles keeping the Sabbath as their custom. Thus, the Sabbath is an essential element of Christian faith, which shouldn't be overlooked. By keeping this day holy, the people who worship God are sanctified and come to understand the providence of God the Creator in everything.
Elohim who created all things
It is not too much to say that the entire contents of the Bible from Genesis to Revela-tion explain the process of God's physical and spiritual creation. Let's take a look at the scene where God created all things, through the book of Proverbs which Solomon wrote, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
Pr 8:22-31 『"The LORD brought me forth as the first of his works, before his deeds of old; I was appointed from eternity, from the beginning, before the world began. When there were no oceans, I was given birth, when there were no springs abounding with water; before the mountains were settled in place, before the hills, I was given birth, before he made the earth or its fields or any of the dust of the world. I was there when he set the heavens in place, when he marked out the horizon on the face of the deep, . . . and when he marked out the foundations of the earth. Then I was the craftsman at his side. I was filled with delight day after day, rejoicing always in his presence, rejoicing in his whole world and delighting in mankind.』
Solomon said that he already existed before he was born in the flesh on this earth, and that he rejoiced in the presence of God when He created the heavens and the earth. Then, what did God look like whom Solomon saw before the creation of the world?
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.』
When the work of creation was being done, God the Creator whom Solomon saw was not only one. The Bible describes God the Creator as the plural form "Elohim" who created all things?light and darkness, the water under the expanse and the water above it, the earth and the sea, trees, animals and so on. In other words, Elohim who said, "Let us . . . ," the male image of God and the female image of God?our Heavenly Father and Mother, created the world.
It is Elohim who created all things in six days and rested on the seventh day and blessed it. Therefore, those who believe in Elohim the Creators and honor Them ought to remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy and also should give thanks and praise to Them. If they do so, they will become a royal priesthood and inherit the kingdom of God, as God's true people. Through the Sabbath, God distinguishes His people who recognize and receive the Creator from those who do not.
God's people, who keep the appointed feasts of God, can realize God's providence contained in the feasts and can also understand the love of God who spares no pains to save the souls of His children. So, they love God's commands more than pure gold and keep them holy (Ps 119:127; 50:5).

The true meaning of the Passover of the new covenant
World Mission Society Church of God- In this age, only God the Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother (Heavenly Mother) can give us salvation.
Time doesn't wait for us but speeds towards eternity. As we look back upon our past, we should not forget to give thanks and glory to God for His saving grace and love for us.
Children do not know how much their parents sacrifice for them. Even after they have grown up, they easily forget about their parents' love, as if they have grown up by themselves without their parents' devotion.
In the same way, we, God's children, can hardly grasp how wide and long and high and deep the love of our heavenly Father and Mother is who have given us eternal life and lead us to the kingdom of heaven. As the heavenly children, we should realize the boundless love of God who has saved our souls and give thanks to Him, always being joyful.
We must not forget the love of God, nor should we foolishly betray the Savior of our life or turn away from His love.
Inscribing God's love on our hearts again, let's meet God our Benefactor, who has delivered our souls from eternal death, in the Bible.
Jn 6:53-57『Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him. Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me."』
Who on earth would be willing to sacrifice himself to save sinners, giving them his own flesh and blood? However, God Himself has become a pledge of salvation for us by sacrificing Himself in our stead. He has delivered us from eternal death by giving us His flesh to eat and His blood to drink, torn and shed for us. By such a tremendous sacrifice of love for the atonement of our sins, God has freed us from sin and delivered us out of the shadow of death.
Mt 26:17-19, 26-28『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."』
On the Passover, Jesus gave bread to His disciples, saying, "This is My body," and also offered them wine, saying, "This is My blood." And He told them to remember His holy sacrifice whenever they ate the bread and drank the wine (Lk 22:19-20; 1 Co 11:23-26).
We should not only rejoice in having received eternal life by eating the Passover bread and drinking the Passover wine, but in them we should find our Father and Mother giving us Their precious flesh and blood and looking upon us continually with eyes full of compassion and pity. God our Father and Mother have been sacrificed for us, like the Passover lamb. They've given us Their flesh to eat and Their blood to drink, and as the result of such a great sacrifice They have saved all of us, Their children. We must not forget the precious love of our Father and Mother.

About the East
World Mission Society Church of God- In this age,
only God the Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother (Heavenly Mother) can give us salvation.
Through the prophecy of the Bible, let’s confirm that Christ Ahnsahnghong, who came as the Savior in the age of the Holy Spirit, is truly the Second Coming Christ.
The Bible prophesies that when Jesus comes to the earth for a second time, He will come in a cloud [in the flesh] in the same way He came for the first time. Therefore, there must be prophecies which testify where He will appear in His second coming. At the time of His first coming, it had been prophesied that Jesus would come from Bethlehem. Like this, the Bible also prophesies about where He will appear in His second coming. The Bible prophesies that He will be born in Korea, located in the east, at the ends of the earth.
The Second Coming Christ, Ahnsahnghong, was born, in the flesh, in Korea-the land in the east-in 1948, according to the prophecies of the Bible. How can we not bow down before God when every word of His prophecy is accomplished? We, the members of the Church of God, believe what is written in the Bible. We sincerely hope that you may recognize the Second Coming Christ, of whom the Bible prophesies.
Korea, the Country in the East, at the Ends of the Earth
Isa. 24:15-16 『Therefore in the east give glory to the LORD; exalt the name of the LORD, the God of Israel, in the islands of the sea. From the ends of the earth we hear singing: "Glory to the Righteous One."』
The above prophecy reveals that God’s chosen people will give glory and praise to the God in the east. When we read this chapter from the first verse, it is clear that this prophecy is concerning the last day-the last day when God will ruin the earth’s face and will burn up all of the inhabitants. When God banishes all of the gaiety form the earth, a certain group of people will shout for joy and will give glory to God, meaning that God would guide His chosen people on the last day, from the east.
Then, where is "the east"? First, we have to know the point of origin. Isaiah prophesied from the country of Israel. Thus, "the east" must be a land east of Israel: Asia. Among the countries in Asia, which country is located towards the east, "at the ends of the earth"? Russia is to the north, India is south, and China is Central Asia. Even Japan, though located in the east, is not a land at the ends of the earth-it is in the middle of the sea.
It is only Korea that is located in the east, at the ends of the earth. Thus, the Second Coming Christ is prophesied to come from Korea, in the east, at the ends of the earth. In accordance with the prophecy, Christ Ahnsahnghong came from Korea. The Church of God, departing from the fixed ideas of men, received Ahnsahnghong as the Second Coming Christ because He has fulfilled all of the prophecies about Jesus’ second coming. Everything stems from the boundless grace and love of God Ahnsahnghong.
God Will Come From the East
Isa. 41:2 『"Who has stirred up one from the east, calling him in righteousness to his service? He hands nations over to him and subdues kings before him..."』
The above verse states that God "has stirred up one from the east." Since it is prophesied that kings are subdued before "the one," he must be a man of great power. Then, who is "the one"? If we read the same chapter, beginning in verse four, we can come to know who "the one" is.
Isa. 41:4 『"Who has done this and carried it through, calling forth the generations from the beginning? I, the LORD-with the first of them and with the last-I am he."』
The one whom God "has stirred up" is God, Himself. This prophecy means that God Himself will come in the flesh, from the east. "The one" who came in fulfillment of this prophecy is God Ahnsahnghong.
In chapter 46 of the same book, Isaiah, it is written:
Isa. 46:11 『From the east I summon a bird of prey; from a far-off land, a man to fulfill my purpose. What I have said, that will I bring about; what I have planned, that will I do.』
The prophet Isaiah recorded again about "the one" who would arise from the east, from a far-off land. In the Bible, a bird of prey-or, an eagle-represents God (Deut. 32:11; Ex. 19:4). Since this "bird of prey" coming from the east is described as a man who would fulfill God’s purpose, it is very clear that God, Himself, would come from the east as a man, in the flesh. The one who fulfilled this prophecy is God Ahnsahnghong.
Korea: The Holy LandAlthough Israel was a small country 2,000 years ago, it was the holy land where God had chosen to come from. Likewise, although Korea is a small country at the ends of the east, it is a holy land, appointed as the place where God would come for a second time.
How blessed are those in the east, those who are saved from the consuming fire of God on the last day! The Bible says that these blessed souls will give glory to the God in the east, shouting for joy.
Don’t you want to belong to the group of people who will be saved on the last day, those who have received the Second Coming Christ Ahnsahnghong? He came from Korea, in the east, in accordance with the prophecy. Please break your fixed ideas and listen to the quiet, but strong, voice speaking to your soul. Ahnsahnghong, the Second Coming Christ, is calling to you.
only God the Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother (Heavenly Mother) can give us salvation.

Opening the Civilization of the Gospel through the God the mother
World Mission Society Church of God believes Christ Ahnsahnghong and heavenly mother who came as savioirs in the age of holy spirit according to all propecies of the Bible.
World Mission Society Church of God which keeps and follows the three times seven feasts testified in the bible is a truth church.
There is only World Mission Society Church of God which God estabilshed the church with god's blood (passover of newcovenant)
Now the huge civilization of the gospel, which will be recorded in the history of salvation forever, opens up wide along the refreshing river of the water of life, flowing our from heavenly Jerusalem (God the mother)to the whole world.
The four great ancient civilizations of the world arose in Mesopotamia, Egypt, the Indus River Valley, and the Yellow River Valley.
The Egyptian civilization emerged and flourished in the fertile land of the Nile valley ; the civilization of Mesopotamia, which means "land between two rivers," developed and prospered in the valleys of the Tigris and Euphrates river; the Indus civilization originated in the Indus River valley; and the Chinese civilization arose in the Yellow River valley.
All the four ancient civilizations of the world originated along the big rivers. It was because when it rained heavily, rich soils at the upper river basins were carried downstream and were widely distributed along the rivers, and as a result the land became fertile and suitable for farming. As the land was fruitful, enough food was produced and people became well-off, and it resulted in the formation of various cultures.
As aforesaid, the ancient civilzations, which brought improvement in human life, developed along the rivers. This gives a good lesson to us, who are opening the civilization of the gospel all around the world. The new civilization of the gospel, which will be recorded in the history of salvation forever, is also being reclaimed along the refreshing river of the water of life, flowing out from heavenly Jerusalem. Now the water of life flows all over the world; wherever it flows, the huge civilization of the gospel opens up wide.
Ezek 47:9-12 Swarms of living creatures will live wherever the river flows. There will be large numbers of fish, because this water flows there and makes the salt water fresh; so where the river flows everything will live.
Fishermen will stand along the shore; from En Gedi to En Eglaim there will be places for spreading nets. The fish will be of many kinds--like the fish of the Great Sea.
But the swamps and marshes will not become fresh; they will be left for salt.
Fruit trees of all kinds will grow on both banks of the river. Their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit fail. Every month they will bear, because the water from the sanctuary flows to them. Their fruit will serve for food and their leaves for healing."

Jesus and His Apostles Kept the Sabbath
World Mission Society Church of God- In this age,
only God the Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother (Heavenly Mother) can give us salvation.
The Old Testament is a shadow and a copy of the New Testament.
Heb. 10:1 『The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming - not the realities themselves.』
Thus, the law of the Old Testament was a shadow of the good things that were to come in the New Testament times
The Sabbath day in the Old Testament was called "the Sabbath of Jehovah" (Ex. 31:13; Ezek. 20:12), while the Sabbath day in the New Testament was called "the Sabbath of Jesus" (Matt. 12:8; Luke 6:5).
The Sabbath day, according to the Old Testament law, was only a copy.
The Sabbath day of the new covenant, kept in Christ, is the reality.
In the New Testament times, the apostles kept the Sabbath day by worshiping God in spirit and in truth, following Jesus Christ's example.
Jesus kept the Sabbath as His custom.
Luke 4:16 『He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom....』
In the New Testament times, the Sabbath day is referred to as "Jesus' [the Lord's] day" because the true Lord of the Sabbath is Jesus Christ.
"For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath" (Matt. 12:8; Luke 6:5).
The apostles kept the Sabbath day as the "Lord's [Jesus'] day."
Rev. 1:10 『On the Lord's Day I was in the Spirit...』
As the times of the Old Testament passed away and the New Testament times began, the way in which God's people keep the Sabbath was changed.
However, the day of the Sabbath was never changed.
The day itself could not be changed because it was on the seventh day that God had rested from all of His creating work.
The apostles kept the Sabbath day as their custom, reasoning from the Scriptures as follows:
Acts 17:2 『As his custom was, Paul went into the synagogue, and on three Sabbath days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures...』
Acts 20:6-7 『But we sailed from Philippi after the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and five days later joined the others at Troas, where we stayed seven days. On the first day of the week we came together to break bread...』
As it is written in the above verses, the apostles kept the Sabbath day.
It is proven throughout the Scriptures that the Sabbath day —the seventh day, Saturday, Jesus' day— was kept until the apostolic age.
So why do so many present-day Christians hold services on Sunday [the first day] and not on the Sabbath day?
According to history, Sunday service originated from pagan sun-god worship.
The Romans had been worshiping the sun god on the first day [Sunday], recognizing it as "the day of the sun," even before the birth of Jesus.
Therefore, we have to keep the Sabbath day.
And we should conduct ourselves bearing in mind our duty as God's people.

In the New Testament times, the Sabbath day is referred to as "Jesus' [the Lord's] day" because the true Lord of the Sabbath is Jesus Christ.
"For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath" (Matt. 12:8; Luke 6:5).
The apostles kept the Sabbath day as the "Lord's [Jesus'] day."
Rev. 1:10 『On the Lord's Day I was in the Spirit...』
As the times of the Old Testament passed away and the New Testament times began, the way in which God's people keep the Sabbath was changed.
However, the day of the Sabbath was never changed.
The day itself could not be changed because it was on the seventh day that God had rested from all of His creating work.
The apostles kept the Sabbath day as their custom, reasoning from the Scriptures as follows:
Acts 17:2 『As his custom was, Paul went into the synagogue, and on three Sabbath days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures...』
Acts 20:6-7 『But we sailed from Philippi after the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and five days later joined the others at Troas, where we stayed seven days. On the first day of the week we came together to break bread...』
As it is written in the above verses, the apostles kept the Sabbath day.
It is proven throughout the Scriptures that the Sabbath day —the seventh day, Saturday, Jesus' day— was kept until the apostolic age.
So why do so many present-day Christians hold services on Sunday [the first day] and not on the Sabbath day?
According to history, Sunday service originated from pagan sun-god worship.
The Romans had been worshiping the sun god on the first day [Sunday], recognizing it as "the day of the sun," even before the birth of Jesus.
Therefore, we have to keep the Sabbath day.
And we should conduct ourselves bearing in mind our duty as God's people.

the tree of life ( Christ AhnSahngHong )
church of God is keep the Passover.
church of God is believed in Heavenly Mother.
Church of God is believed in Heavenly Father Ahnsahnghong.
Church of God is believed in God the mother.
The Bible prophesied that Jesus would come a second time with the fruit of the tree of life and give eternal life to human beings who were destined to die. It is Ahnsahnghong that brought us the tree of life, so the Church of God believes in Him as the Second Coming Jesus.
Then, what is the tree of life? Is it truly Christ Ahnsahnghong that brought us the tree of life?
Matt. 13:34-35 『Jesus spoke all these things to the crowd in parables; he did not say anything to them without using a parable. So was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophet: "I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden since the creation of the world."』
Jesus revealed the things hidden since the creation through the parables. Among the 66 books, which book has the history of the creation of the world? It is the book of Genesis.
In the book of Genesis there are many parables showing God’s Providence. Among the parables, let’s study the tree of life.
Gen. 2:16-17 『And the LORD God commanded the man, "You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die."』
In the Garden of Eden, God the LORD put the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. And He commanded Adam and Eve not to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. However, they were tempted by Satan and violated the commandment of God. By this, human beings are destined to die and death entered this world through sin.
After Adam and Even sinned in the Garden of Eden, has God ever given us an opportunity to be saved from death? Is there no way to be freed from death?
Gen. 3:22 『And the LORD God said, "The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever."』
As stated in the above verse, there is only one way for us to live forever. It is to eat from the tree of life.
Then, how can we eat from the tree of life?
If we look into the history of the Garden of Eden, we can find out that it is God that banned the sinners from eating of the tree of life. Then, we can reason that it is also only God that will allow us the tree of life. So Jesus who is God came to save us by restoring the tree of life to us.
John 10:10 『The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.』
The words, "I have come that they may have life," means, "I have come that they may eat from the tree of life." What is the reality of the tree of life?
John 6:53-54 『Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.』
In the book of Genesis, what should we eat to live forever? It’s the fruit of the tree of life. However, what did Jesus say we should eat to live forever? He said we should eat His flesh and drink His blood. Then, what is Jesus’ flesh and blood? It’s the fruit of the tree of life. That’s right. The fruit of the tree of life in the Garden of Eden represents Jesus’ flesh and blood. By eating Jesus’ flesh and blood we can eat the fruit of the tree of life which was lost by Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. We should eat Jesus’ flesh and blood in order to have eternal life.
Now, what is important is how to eat Jesus’ flesh and drink His blood, the reality of the tree of life in the Garden of Eden. It is impossible to eat Jesus Himself. Then, what does the words of John 6:53 mean? These words are referred to the words of Matthew 26:17. In this verse, we can find the way to eat the flesh and blood of Jesus.
Matt. 26:17-26 『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.』
Jesus said that the bread and wine of the Passover is His flesh and blood, that is Jesus Himself. Eating the bread of the Passover and drinking the Passover wine is eating of the tree of life in the Garden of Eden. So far, we have studied that the tree of life is a parable and its reality is Jesus, and the truth through which we can eat Jesus’ flesh and drink His blood is the Passover.
We can understand that the tree of life is allowed to us through the Passover, and that Jesus who allowed us to eat from the tree of life is God.
We, human beings, who lost the tree of life and were destined to die, could have eternal life by God who came in the flesh and allowed the fruit of the tree of life, that is, the bread and wine of the Passover. However, the devil abolished the truth of the Passover at the Council of Nicaea in 325 A.D. It means the tree of life was hidden and no one could have eternal life. We could not expect salvation without the Passover the truth about the tree of life. In this situation, the one who is able to restore the truth of the Passover, that is, the tree of life, is only God as it was 2,000 years ago.
Heb. 9:28 『so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.』
The purpose of Christ coming a second time is for our salvation. To bring us salvation the Passover is absolutely needed. The One who allowed us the Passover truth is Ahnsahnghong.
Therefore, Ahnsahnghong is Christ who came in this age according to all the prophecy of the Bible. He restored the truth of the Passover, the tree of life, and saved us from our sin and death.
He is our God.
And In this last age, we need our Jerusalem Mother who has been established by Christ Ahnsahnghong?the Second Coming Jesus. Let us believe in Christ Ahnsahnghong, the Holy Spirit, and in Jerusalem Mother, the Bride, so that we can receive eternal life.

The Bible prophesied that Jesus would come a second time with the fruit of the tree of life and give eternal life to human beings who were destined to die. It is Ahnsahnghong that brought us the tree of life, so the Church of God believes in Him as the Second Coming Jesus.
Then, what is the tree of life? Is it truly Christ Ahnsahnghong that brought us the tree of life?

In the book of Genesis there are many parables showing God’s Providence. Among the parables, let’s study the tree of life.
Gen. 2:16-17 『And the LORD God commanded the man, "You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die."』
In the Garden of Eden, God the LORD put the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. And He commanded Adam and Eve not to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. However, they were tempted by Satan and violated the commandment of God. By this, human beings are destined to die and death entered this world through sin.

The words, "I have come that they may have life," means, "I have come that they may eat from the tree of life." What is the reality of the tree of life?
John 6:53-54 『Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.』

In the Bible, God is referred to through plural terms instead of singular terms, and it is written that God has a male image and a female image. Therefore, God exists in the male image and in the female image.
Have you ever thought about why we call God our Father?
It is written that God's invisible qualities have been clearly seen and can be understood through what has been made (Rom. 1:20). Is there any creature that is given life through only their father, alone, without a mother being present?
We need to study this matter carefully.
Children of the Free Woman
Apostle Paul testified that we are the children of promise, the children of the free woman, because we have been given the promise of eternal life from our heavenly Mother.
Gal. 4:28 『Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise.』
Gal. 4:31 『Therefore, brothers, we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman.』
If we are the children of the free woman, what should we call Her? We should call Her our “Mother.” We cannot have eternal life unless we receive the heavenly Mother. Eternal life, which God has promised us, is given through the heavenly Mother.

What is the Heresy?
World Mission Society Church Of God believes in christ Ahnsahnghong and God the mother.
World Mission Society Church Of God believes in christ Ahnsahnghong and the Heavenly mother.
Many people have a misunderstanding of what heresy is nowadays. Once they find a man practicing doctrines different from their own, they likely think he belongs to a heresy. We are not supposed to judge others by our own thoughts, social standards, or popular opinions. We must understand what heresy is through the Bible.
2 Pe 2:1-3 They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them.
The main characteristics of heresy are as follows;
1. It results in destruction.
2. It brings the way of truth into disrepute.
3. It follows man-made teachings, not the teachings of the Bible.
4. It opposes God through the teachings of false prophets.
5. It never leads to salvation.
What does the Bible say about heresy? It does not follow teachings of the Bible, but man-made teachings instead.
1. Heresy does not keep the Sabbath in the Bible.The Biblical Sabbath is Saturday. Every church must worship God on Saturday, not on Sunday. there are some proof.
• "… The Scriptures enforce the religious observance of Saturday" (The Faith of Our Fathers, pp. 72~73).
• "The first day of the week [Sunday] was proclaimed as a day of rest and of worship … In 321 A.D. Constantine …" (The Story of the Christian Church, pp. 60~61).
Jesus also testifies the Sabbath day is His custom in the Bible. Jesus kept the Sabbath day as an example so that we should do as He did.
Lk 4:16 On the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom
Jn 13:15 I [Jesus] have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.
2. Heresy does not celebrate the Passover in the Bible.
The Passover is God's truth that gives us the forgiveness of sins and judges all other gods. Those who do not keep it will be cut off from God's people on the last day.
Mt 26:17-28 This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
Jn 6:53 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life.
Ex 12:11-12 On the same night … I will bring judgement on all the gods of Egypt.
Nu 9:13 If a man fails who is ceremonially clean and not on a journey fails to celebrate the Passover, that person must be cut off from his people.
3. Most contemporary Christians keep Christmas [Dec. 25th] as Jesus' birthday. In fact, Christmas is one of many pagan festivals not in the Bible.
• "The Christian church took over many pagan ideas and images. From sun-worship, for example, came the celebration of Christ's birth on the twenty-fifth of December, the birthday of the Sun” (A LION HANDBOOK / THE HISTORY OF CHRISTIANITY, p. 141).
• "December 25―this was the date of a pagan festival in Rome, chosen in A.D. 274 by the emperor Aurelian as the birthday of the unconquered sun (natalis solis invicti), which at the winter solstice begins again to show an increase of light" (ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA, p. 704).
4. Heresy reveres a cross, an idol, from pagan Rome. It is a type of execution tool used for crucifying brutal criminals, and is not the symbol of Jesus Christ.
The standard of heresy is the bible only. However most of christians don't follow it. 2,000 years ago, Jesus and His Church of God were wrongfully accused as a Nazarene sect, one of the heresies (Ac 24:5). However, most people acknowledge Jesus as their Christ. Likewise, the whole world will acknowledge Christ Ahnsahnghong and the Church of God in the end. Come to the Church of God and receive salvation.

The hidden treasure and Jerusalem Mother.
(The church of God world misson society follows teachings of Christ Ahnsahnghong 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.
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.

Come To Zion and Meet God ( Christ AhnSahngHong and God the Mother )
God already prophesied that in the last days the love in this world will grow cold. Unfortunately is true, we can see these words of God being fulfilled whenever we see our surrounding or even the TV. No one seeks God (Romans 3:9-18), they believe in themselves. It is actually very sad, that is why everything is controlled by the evil one nowadays but by being controlled by Satan we can’t go to Heaven.
2 Timothy 3:1 but mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.
If you were to ask people: Who do you follow God or Satan? Do you think they are going to say Satan? Not at all! But what about in God’s point of view?
1John 5:19 we know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one.
Man! The whole world is worshiping the evil one without realizing it. God and came in the flesh in the last days to rescue us from following the lies and evil things of this world…
Revelation 18:4 then I heard another voice from heaven say: "Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues; for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes.
Where should we go then? Deutoronomy 12:5 but you are to seek the place the LORD your God will choose from among all your tribes to put his Name there for his dwelling. To that place you must go…
Psalm 102:21 so the name of the LORD will be declared in Zion…
If you were to know where God is going to come wouldn’t you go? Just think about it…I don’t think your answer is ‘no’. God already prophesied where will his name be declared and that is in Zion. I know that nowadays many Churches are named ‘Zion’, but the Zion testified in the Bible celebrates all of God’s Feasts (Lev. 23:1, Is. 33:20). Plus in Zion Heavenly Mother Jerusalem will dwell; that’s why we are the only Church which testifies the existence of Mother God and it is because we are the true Zion.
Hebrews 12:22 but you have come to Mount Zion, to the heavenly Jerusalem, the city of the living God. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly…
No matter how much we are persecuted or ridiculed we will still continue delivering the truth of God the Mother.

The World Being Changed Through Faith( Christ AhnSahngHong )
Everything is possible for him who believes
It is faith that is essentially required of gospel workers. Whatever is done without faith cannot bring about a change.
Mother has said that great gospel workers have great faith, and that great faith can bring forth a great miracle. Father also said, "Communism and democracy will attract the world's attention, but when the work of finding the people of Zion arises throughout the world in the last days, it will surprise the whole world."
According to the prophecies, the world is now abuzz. As the movement of ten talents is gradually speeding up, we continuously hear the joyful news that many people around the world are streaming to Zion after seeing the glory of Heavenly Father and Mother. All our brothers and sisters throughout the world are diligently preaching the word of God. Even through TV or radio, people hear God's word; many of them personally visit the Church and receive the truth.
Let us preach the gospel to our hearts' content, so that the whole world?the entire universe?can even be shaken and astonished. God is performing such miraculous works because our brothers and sisters in Zion have believed in the prophecies and followed them.
Mk 9:23 『"‘If you can'?" said Jesus. "Everything is possible for him who believes."』
A man brought Jesus his son who was possessed by a spirit, and asked Him for help. However, since he came to Jesus without faith, he said, "If you can do anything, help us" (Mk 9:14-22), instead of pleading, "Lord, please heal my son." Jesus became grieved to hear him say that, and made him realize that "everything is possible for him who believes."
‘Will this really come to pass?' ‘Can the walls of Jericho collapse if we just march around the city seven times?' ‘Will the Red Sea be divided if the staff is merely stretched out over it?' ‘Can Jesus really turn the five barley loaves and two fish into enough food to feed five thousand people simply by praying?'
Those who look at everything with a doubtful mind cannot see or feel anything. However, everything is possible for those who believe and take action.
Our God is the Almighty who can do everything; is impossible with God. The Almighty God is carrying out the gospel work in these last days, and asks us to do the work, giving us the power to do it. God has not entrusted us with what we cannot do. So, if we believe that everything is possible for him who believes and puts it into action, we will surely obtain gracious results.
Do things with faith
Now the work of the gospel is being accomplished so quickly; something that once took a year to complete is now being achieved within a month, and things that took a month to finish is now being completed within just a week. As God said, "In its time I will do this swiftly" (Isa 60:22), Father and Mother give us faith, wisdom and power to preach the gospel, so that we can do everything through faith. As a result, people from all over the world, from every continent?Asia, Africa, Europe, South America, North America, and Oceania?are now being gathered into the arms of God our Mother.
Without faith it is impossible to be saved. So, Jesus grieved over those who did not have faith, and said, "Everything is possible for him who believes." The Bible describes everything done without faith as sin.
Ro 14:23 『But the man who has doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin.』
We should not have an unbelieving heart, ‘If you can, please help me,' ‘Please do it, if it is possible,' but should believe firmly that God is able to do it. When we do the gospel work with such firm faith, God will work the miracle of driving out demons and will also lead us to the world of eternal life, which is a greater miracle?the miracle of miracles. Without faith it is impossible to please God, but if we do things with faith, we can give glory to God.
Heb 11:6-7 『And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family. By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.』
Without faith no one can please God. Let's think about the days when Noah built the ark. Up until that time, he had never seen the whole world being judged and destroyed by water, but since it was the word of God, he believed that it would surely take place and prepared the ark. Even though it was not really easy to build such a huge ship in those days, Noah took action with faith. Today, the work of saving the whole world, which people have not even imagined, is being carried out more quickly day after day. God has granted us a precious mission this year, and is accelerating the movement of ten talents and the overseas mission as well.
Believing that this will surely be fulfilled, let us proclaim the good news about God to the whole world?to every region of the world where the gospel has not yet been preached. If we participate in the work of world evangelism with the faith that it is accomplished through the power of God, not with our own ability, God will be pleased with our faith and will grant us the blessing of ten talents.

Is Cross An Idol?
Every Church you go nowadays it’s full of crosses. I guess they don’t know that in Gods point of view the cross in an idol. And what God describes about idolatry in the Bible is not nice at all.
Exodus 20:4 "You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below.
What is an idol in Gods point of view? It can be anything right? But he specifically testifies what is an idol…
Leviticus 26:10 "This is what the LORD says: "Do not learn the ways of the nations or be terrified by signs in the sky, though the nations are terrified by them. For the customs of the peoples are worthless; they cut a tree out of the forest, and a craftsman shapes it with his chisel. They adorn it with silver and gold; they fasten it with hammer and nails so it will not totter. Like a scarecrow in a melon patch, their idols cannot speak; they must be carried because they cannot walk. Do not fear them; they can do no harm nor can they do any good."
You don’t have to be that smart to understand what God is describing here, looks like a scarecrow…adorn will silver and gold…can’t speak…can’t walk…must be carried and it’s an idol. What is it? What looks like a scarecrow? CROSS.
God doesn’t want us to follow idols, the cross was just an execute tool used to kill criminal 2,000 years ago. Then how can we remember Christ worshiping the tool they used to kill him? It doesn’t make any sense. What if he would have been killed by the guillotine which was also an execution tool at that time? Would you go to a Church full of guillotines? No right? But what is the difference, there’s none both were just tools of execution.
Idolatry is to worship anything as a God, will God be pleased if we do this? Only God can give us salvation, not any idols. Don’t follow peoples way, it is truly worthless.
Exodus 20:4 "You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below.

What is the Gospel Taught By Ahnsahnghong?
After taking a survey of what the general public thinks, I realized that no one knows exactly what is the Gospel! It's amazing that these churches "proclaim" the Gospel of Christ, yet not one their congregation members know what it is.
2 Cor. 3:5 "Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God. 6He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant—not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life."
So now, clearly, New Covenant = Passover
I studied at the Church of God World Mission Society and saw that THIS IS THE ONLY
CHURCH that accurately knows the meaning of the Gospel of Christ. I saw these verses:
CHURCH that accurately knows the meaning of the Gospel of Christ. I saw these verses:
Rom15:15 "I have written you quite boldly on some points, as if to remind you of them again, because of the grace God gave me 16to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles with the priestly duty of proclaiming the gospel of God, so that the Gentiles might become an offering acceptable to God, sanctified by the Holy Spirit."
Okay, so Paul is a minister of the Gospel.
2 Cor. 3:5 "Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God. 6He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant—not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life."
Now, he says that he is a minister of the New Covenant. So clearly this means:
Gospel = New Covenant
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."
So now, clearly, New Covenant = Passover
However, no church out there keeps the Passover except the Church of god World Mission Society. That would explain why only this church truly knows what is the Gospel!

Baptism
Man is mortal. Why has man become a slave to death?
The Bible tells us that all men come to die on account of their sin.
We cannot have life when we are still filled with sin. In order to receive eternal life, our sins must be disposed of. Baptism is the first step we can take toward salvation. Through this gracious regulation of God, our sins are cleansed and we are atoned.
Therefore, the Church of God performs baptism, according to the teaching of the Second Coming Christ Ahnsahnghong.
The Origin of Baptism
God promised His people that He would send the prophet Elijah to prepare the way for Him; Elijah would appear before God came to the earth as the Messiah. The purpose of Elijah's coming was to testify about the Messiah, and to "make straight" the way for Him.
Isa. 40:3 『A voice of one calling: "In the desert prepare the way for the LORD; make straight in the wilderness a highway for our God."』
John the Baptist was sent to fulfill the mission of Elijah. He preached the news of repentance to the Israelites who did not obey the words of God, being confined within their hypocritical faith.
Matt. 3:7-9 『But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. And do not think you can say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.'" 』
Mark 1:4-5 『And so John came, baptizing in the desert region and preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. The whole Judean countryside and all the people of Jerusalem went out to him. Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.』
John did not baptize people by his own will, but according to the orders he had received from God, who had sent him.
God established the principle of the forgiveness of sins through baptism, so that we could realize that baptism is one of God's righteous laws, given to us for our salvation (1 John 1:33). Therefore, Jesus set the example of being baptized, by John the Baptist, to institute baptism as a sacred law.
Matt. 3:14-15 『But John tried to deter him, saying, "I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?" Jesus replied, "Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness."』
Matt. 21:32 『For John came to you to show you the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him..." 』
Baptism, the truth of righteousness, was not only an ordinance to testify about Jesus, but it was also a law of the new covenant, for Jesus himself baptized people and set the example of being baptized with water (Matt. 3:16).
John 3:22-23 『After this, Jesus and his disciples went out into the Judean countryside, where he spent some time with them, and baptized. Now John also was baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because there was plenty of water, and people were constantly coming to be baptized.』
When Should We Be Baptized?
Baptism is the first step toward receiving God's favor, through which we receive the forgiveness of sins. It has been likened to the birth of a baby coming out of the womb. As our body is born from the womb and then learns about the world one by one, our spirit removes its sins and transgressions through baptism, being born again as a child of God. Then, after baptism, we learn about God's providence and the secrets of the kingdom of heaven.
Eph. 1:7-9 『In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding...』
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.
Without receiving the forgiveness of sins, we cannot be given the wisdom to recognize God. Therefore it is against God's will to insist that baptism should be given after six or twelve months of studying. If we want to believe in God, we should be baptized first. After, we are given the opportunity to participate in God's divine nature through our life of faith.
Here are some examples of those who, upon hearing the good news of Jesus, participated in God's righteousness by being baptized.
A eunuch who was in charge of the treasury of Candace [queen of the Ethiopians] was baptized while traveling along the road, immediately after Philip had testified to him about the Christ (Acts 16:13-15).
A woman named Lydia, a purple cloth dealer, received Paul's message and believed in Jesus; she, and her household, was baptized immediately (Acts 16:13-15). And a jailer, who patrolled the gate of the prison where Paul and Silas were confined, heard about Jesus. Immediately he?and his family?came to believe in Jesus, and were baptized (Acts 16:25-33). Baptism means the rebirth of our spirit and it is the starting point of our faith in God.
Through baptism, we promise God that we will repent of our past sins and that we will follow the will of God. In return, God promises that he will remember us in the time of Judgment.
Suppose there is a church that insists that someone should be baptized after six months or one year, after his faith has grown. If he dies while learning the doctrines of this particular denomination?without having the promise of God's salvation?who will be responsible for his soul?

The savior of each age and the new name
For our salvation, God divided six thousand years into three ages : the age of the Father, the age of the Son, and the age of the Holy Spirit, and He allowed a different Savior’s name for each of these ages-the name of Jehovah in the age of the Father, the name Jesus in the age of the Son, and the name Ahnsahnghong in the age of the Holy Spirit.
Now we are living during the last age of the Holy Spirit. Thus, God has been administrating His plan of salvation, using the new Savior’s name, the name of the Holy Spirit-Ahnsahnghong. Salvation is only given to those who believe in the name of the Savior that God has allowed to the people living in that particular age. Because we are now living in the age of the Holy Spirit, we must receive the Holy Spirit, Ahnsahnghong, as the Savior of this age.
Age of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit
Eccl. 3:1, KJV 『To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven…』
In this world, everyone has a certain goal and purpose for their lives. Likewise, we should set a certain goal for our faith: the salvation of our souls, eternal life.
1 Pet. 1:8-9 『Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.』
In order for His people to receive salvation, God divided six thousand years into three ages, and allowed a different Savior’s name for each age.
Matt. 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."』
As is commonly known, the name of the Father is "Jehovah," and the name of the Son is "Jesus." Baptism is the first step that we can take towards becoming a child of God, and to be baptized correctly, we must first know the name of the Father, the name of the Son, and the name of the Holy Spirit.
The Savior in the Age of the SonThe Bible states that in the age of the Father there was no Savior apart from Jehovah, and that in the age of the Son there was no Savior apart from Jesus.
Acts 4:11-12 『"He is ‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the capstone.’ Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."』
When God gave the names of Jehovah and Jesus to the people, He did not explaine that each of these Savior’s names would only be used for a specific time period or age. Thus, many people have become confused, believing that the Bible contradicts itself.
The Savior in the Age of the Holy SpiritNow we are living in the age of the Holy Spirit. Thus, God has given us a new name of the Savior.
Rev. 3:12 『"Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will he leave it. 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."』
Rev. 2:17 『"He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give him a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives it."』
A "white stone with a new name written on it" is mentioned in the above verse. In this instance, the stone represents Jesus (1 Pet. 2:4), meaning that a new name other than the name of Jesus would be given to the people of that age.
Just as salvation was withheld from those who were stuck on the name of Jehovah and failed to receive Jesus as their Savior in the age of the Son (Rom. 15:4), salvation will never be given to those who are stuck on the name of Jesus in this age.
Those who had accepted the name of Jehovah for 3,500 years were not able to accept the name of Jesus in the age of the Son. Only the disciples accepted Jesus, the Savior in the age of the Son, who had come as prophesied. The Bible prophesied that there would be a Savior in the age of the Son. Even though Jesus came in fulfillment of all these prophecies, the people insisted on believing in only Jehovah, following their own ideas instead of Bible's prophecy. Where are all of the people who lived in the age of the Son and who refused to accept Jesus as their Savior?
We must consider this matter carefully and break our own fixed ideas, allowing our minds to accept God’s thoughts. The Bible testifies that there will undoubtedly be a name for the Savior of the Holy Spirit’s age. We need to understand God’s providence of salvation-His allowing a different Savior’s name for each age-and we need to accept Christ Ahnsahnghong, the Savior’s name in this age of the Holy Spirit, Jesus’ new name.
Now we are living during the last age of the Holy Spirit. Thus, God has been administrating His plan of salvation, using the new Savior’s name, the name of the Holy Spirit-Ahnsahnghong. Salvation is only given to those who believe in the name of the Savior that God has allowed to the people living in that particular age. Because we are now living in the age of the Holy Spirit, we must receive the Holy Spirit, Ahnsahnghong, as the Savior of this age.

The Savior in the Age of the FatherThe most important aspect of our salvation is to know, and to receive, the name of the Savior. During the age of the Father, God granted salvation to those who believed in the name of Jehovah.
Isa. 43:11 『I, even I, am the LORD, and apart from me there is no savior.』
