World Mission Society Church of God believes in the savior in this Holy Spirit age, Christ Ahn Sahng Hong and God the Mother. Christ Ahn Sahng Hong announced the New covenant before 2,000 years and God the Mother. like our physical mother gives us the physical life, hope you receive God the Mother and get the eternal life.
Now, let's examine the fact through the Bible that God wants to always dwell in us, which is the last and third characteristic of God.
Gal 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Heb 13:5-9 . . . because God has said,"Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." So we say with confidence,"The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?" . . .
God has repeatedly said that He will always be with us. So Paul, when he received Jesus, crucified himself and faithfully carried out the work God wanted to do while having God in him. When he looked back upon his life, he was confident that since he had fulfilled the mission given to him, there was in store for him the crown of righteousness, and gave us hope by saying that this crown of life would be awarded not only to him, but also to all who longed for the day of God's coming.
We must realize God who has come to this earth in the flesh and also understand God's desired will, so that we can work with God and express God's love while always having God in us. Now let us think again how much we know about God and how much we understand the heart of God. If we have known God, we should lead many souls to the way of salvation by putting God's desired will into practice instead of just being satisfied with knowing.
When we consider the fact that 3,000 people repented in just one day through the preaching of Peter, we cannot help but reflect on how fully we have contained God in our minds and preached the gospel. Let us quickly preach the Spirit and the Bride, who have come to this earth as our Saviors, to all people. Some may reject the Spirit and the Bride without realizing Them, but those who understand Them will receive the right to become children of God and reach the eternal kingdom of heaven.
We can do everything by the power of God, not by our own ability. Let us all wake up and try our hardest to make this year a wonderful year for the gospel by working with God. I repeatedly ask you all to fill each and every day of your life with beautiful and gracious moments, so that you can confidently say that you have lived a life without regrets, preaching the gospel, like Paul.

God wants to manifest His love through His people ( Christ Ahnsahnghong, Heavenly Mother )
God the Father, Christ Ahnsahnghong, came to the earth to show us the way to receive eternal life and go back to the Kingdom of heaven.
Christ Ahnsahnghong came with Heavenly Mother as the prophecies of the Bible.
World Mission Society Church of God believes in God the Father and God the Mother who give us eternal life.
Now, let's confirm that God wants to show His love to all people through His people, which is the second characteristic of God.
Jn 15:12-15 "My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. . . ."
Since God wants to show His love through us, He tells us,"Love each other as I have loved you." Parents even credit the honor they deserve to their children, so that their children will receive praise from people of the world. Likewise, God has entrusted us with the blessed errand of preaching God's love, in order to give us the eternal glory of heaven.
1 Jn 4:11-21 Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. . . . And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. . . .
And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother.
God wants to dwell in us and to express His love through us. The Bible describes the person who does not love as"a murderer" and the"one who does not have God."
When we do the work of God, which we cannot do with our sinful nature, we can make sure that God is now working with us while being alive in us.
God can save all mankind by His word. As He sent His angels to tell the shepherds the good news of Christ's birth, so He can now send His angels to preach the good news to all mankind, so that the gospel work will be accomplished in an instant.
However, God does not do that, but instead He has entrusted us with the gospel. It is because He wants to bless us and to help us resemble His divine nature. By doing the work of God, we come to know God's heart and have the love of God who has been so anxious to save His children.
1 Pe 4:7-8 The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear minded and self-controlled so that you can pray. Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
God wants to express His love through us, and has chosen us as instruments to carry out this duty. So, we must not keep silent but express God's love. This is why we should preach the gospel and show love to others.
When we look back upon our past lives, there were times when we did not understand God's earnest mind and found it hard to preach the gospel. God helps us in everything, but sometimes we try to persuade people with our own knowledge and ability instead of relying on God's help, and that makes it difficult to preach to them.
All we have to do is just tell them what we have heard and seen.

God wants to work with His people ( Christ Ahnsahnghong, Heavenly Mother )
God the Father, Christ Ahnsahnghong, came to the earth to show us the way to receive eternal life and go back to the Kingdom of heaven.
Christ Ahnsahnghong came with Heavenly Mother as the prophecies of the Bible.
World Mission Society Church of God believes in God the Father and God the Mother who give us eternal life.
When we look at the history of preaching described in the Bible, we can see that God has the following three characteristics: First, God surely works with His people.
Second, God shows His love through His people and conveys it to all mankind.
Third, God wants to always work alive in His people when He carries out His work of salvation for mankind.
Now, let's take a look at the scenes where God is working with us, and realize what God's will is for us to become the workers of the new covenant.
2 Co 6:1-2 As God's fellow workers we urge you not to receive God's grace in vain. For he says,"In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you." I tell you, now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation.
We are blessed to work with God and preach God's salvation. God wants to work with us, and helps us. Nevertheless, did we not sometimes complain about doing this work or become lazy? Let us reflect upon ourselves.
Today, too, God asks us,"I want to work with you. Don't you want to work with Me?" Whoever understands God who has come in the flesh correctly should do the work of testifying about God and preaching Him, along with God.
Isa 41:10-13 "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. All who rage against you will surely be ashamed and disgraced; those who op-pose you will be as nothing and perish. . . . For I am the LORD, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you."
2 Co 1:3-5 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. . . .
When we work with God, we don't have to hesitate at the reproaches and insults of people. Those who believed that God was with them and boldly said,"Judge for yourselves whether it is right in God's sight to obey you rather than God," like Peter and John, led many souls to the way of salvation (Ac 4:19). Their names will shine forever in the kingdom of heaven as well as in the Bible.
God is with us in any situation, and comforts us in all our troubles. God encourages and strengthens us, and does the work of preaching the gospel with us. Believing this firmly, we should go to Samaria and even to the ends of the earth with God to preach the blessed and joyful news that Father and Mother have come to save us.

Faith that recognizes God correctly ( Christ Ahnsahnghong, Heavenly Mother )
World Mission Society Church of God believes in the savior in this Holy Spirit age, Christ Ahn Sahng Hong and God the Mother. Christ Ahn Sahng Hong announced the New covenant before 2,000 years and God the Mother. like our physical mother gives us the physical life, hope you receive God the Mother and get the eternal life.
In some people's eyes, God who came in the flesh appeared to be a heretic who blasphemed God in His name. In another people's eyes, He appeared to be a prophet or rabbi. And in the other people's eyes, He appeared to be a mere son of a carpenter or just an ordinary man. Thus, people had different views of Jesus. However, when Jesus asked His disciples,"Who do you say I am?" Peter replied,"You are the Christ," meaning that He was God who came as the Son.
Mt 16:13-20 " When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples,"Who do people say the Son of Man is?" They replied,"Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.""But what about you?" he asked."Who do you say I am?" Simon Peter answered,"You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." Jesus replied,"Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven. . . . I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. . . ."
To Peter who recognized God correctly, the keys of the kingdom of heaven were given. As the Bible says that eternal life is given to those who know the only true God and Christ (Jn 17:3), the way to receive eternal life and the keys of the kingdom of heaven is to know and understand God. Having correct knowledge and understanding of God?Jehovah in the age of the Father, Jesus Christ in the age of the Son, and the Spirit and the Bride in the age of the Holy Spirit?is the shortcut to eternal life. In this age, when God has come to this earth the second time as the Spirit and the Bride to save mankind, many people think of God in different ways. Most people reject God like the Jews, but some receive God like the shepherds. Through this, God distinguishes between those who will be blessed and those who will not.
As people of Zion, we must all receive Heavenly Father and Mother, who have become incarnate on the earth, and possess enough faith to enter the eternal kingdom of heaven, and we should put forth more effort to preach Father and Mother. God our Savior has come to this earth?this is the most joyful news in the world.
Lk 2:8-12 "But the angel said to them,"Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. . . ."
Here,"good news" means the gospel. In other words, the good news that God has come to this earth to save us is the core of the gospel.
Like the shepherds who delivered the good news of the birth of the Savior to Mary and Joseph, we who have known and understood God earlier should preach the good news that God has come to this earth to save mankind to people who do not yet realize God. The gospel prophets in the early Church preached the joyful news that Christ came to this earth in Samaria and to the ends of the earth, and led the people who received Jesus as their Savior to the eternal kingdom of heaven. We, too, should preach this good news boldly to all nations, so that all people will repent and come to God.
In some people's eyes, God who came in the flesh appeared to be a heretic who blasphemed God in His name. In another people's eyes, He appeared to be a prophet or rabbi. And in the other people's eyes, He appeared to be a mere son of a carpenter or just an ordinary man. Thus, people had different views of Jesus.

I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. . . ."

God's True Dwelling Place ( World Mission Society Church of God )
World Mission Society Church of God only follows the teachings of the Bible and believes in the Second Coming Christ Ahnsahnghong and Jerusalem Mother.
World Mission Society Church of God believes in Heavenly Mother.
World Mission Society Church of God only follows the teachings of the Bible and believes in the Second Coming Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother.
Only Mother can leads us to the kingdom of heaven.
Everyone we see walking on the streets have a home they return to at the end of the day. Even the kids in school, they long for the end of the school day to go home and greet their parens. What about the children of God? Since we are children of God, we need to be in the place where God dwells, otherwise we are in very spiritual danger and vulnerable to Satan's schemes.
IS 66:1 explains that God's Throne is located in Heaven. Therefore, the place where we see God Almighty Enthroned can be called the Kingdom of Heaven, that is in Zion (Ps 9:11). This is the place were we, the children of God should long to go, to Zion.
Is 33:20 " Look upon Zion, the city of our festivals; your eyes will see Jerusalem, a peaceful abode, a tent that will not be moved; its stakes will never be pulled up, nor any of its ropes broken."
God Almighty sits enthroned in Zion, yet when you look upon Zion your eyes will see Jerusalem, and in the last days the word of God comes from Jerusalem (Mic 4:1). Jerusalem is God the Mother (Gal 4:26). Not only is God the Father enthroned in Zion but also God the Mother. Withouth a mother there is no family system, in the same way, withouth God the Mother, there is no Kingdom of Heaven.
Come to Zion, the City of God's Festivals; here your spirit will find the joy of life. Unless you study about Zion and Heavenly Mother, your soul will not feel in peace.

Why do we face death?(World Mission Society Church of God)
World Mission Society Church of God believes in the savior in this Holy Spirit age, Christ Ahn Sahng Hong and God the Mother. Christ Ahn Sahng Hong announced the New covenant before 2,000 years and God the Mother. like our physical mother gives us the physical life, hope you receive God the Mother and get the eternal life.
All mankind has at least asked or thought “Why do we face death.” We then start to reflect on all our years we lived on this earth. Always we try to think of the happy moments however, most of our lifetime we do not feel happy. Actually, we go through many emotions while seeking to be happy. Frustration, tiredness, sorrow, depression, emptiness, stress are to name a few of the different emotions we experience.
This problem of longing to be 100% happy is not a physical problem. If it were a physical problem, there would be a physical solution. Money, medicine, or pleasure cannot solve this problem. The problem is spiritual because our true nature is spirit. This body is only an cell for our spirit because it does not last forever. (Ecc 3:1)
In the Bible, God lets us know we are to return to Heaven meaning, we were in Heaven before this earth. (Ecc 12:7)
Heaven is an inexpressible and glorious place. Only happiness can dwell there. King Soloman even said he rejoiced day after day in Heaven next to God. (Proverbs 8:31)
If we were in Heaven before, why are we here on Earth facing death?
Ezekiel 28:16-17 ″…you were filled with violence and you sinned…so I threw you to the earth.”
Romans 6:23 ″…the wages of sin is death.”
We committed a grave sin in the Kingdom of Heaven and have been thrown to earth to face death. There must be a solution, forgiveness from God.
Christ Ahnsahnghong came to this earth in these ages to restore the solution, which is forgiveness of sins through the Passover.
Matthew 26:17-28 “…disciples did as Jesus had directed and prepared the Passover…this is my blood of the covenant which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.”
If we are forgiven of our sin then we will not have to pay the wage, which is death. Truly all thanks and praise to Christ Ahnsahnghong for restoring the Passover which gives us the forgiveness for our grievous sin.

How Much Have We Known About God?( Christ Ahnsahnghong, God the Mother )
World Mission Society Church of God believes in the savior in this Holy Spirit age, Christ Ahn Sahng Hong and God the Mother. Christ Ahn Sahng Hong announced the New covenant before 2,000 years and God the Mother. like our physical mother gives us the physical life, hope you receive God the Mother and get the eternal life.
People in the world have their own thoughts about God. As for God who exists as spirit, His divine nature and power are beyond human imagination, so people cannot dare to estimate them. Moreover, when God comes in the flesh, it is impossible for humans to understand Him by their own wisdom, so each of them looks at God from a different point of view.
At Jesus' first coming, people thought, ¡®How could God come in human form?' So, some people said about Jesus,"He is out of his mind," some said,"He is a ringleader of the Nazarene sect" (Ac 24:5), and others insisted that He should be crucified. Some considered Jesus as one of the prophets, some as Elijah, but the apostles like Peter and Paul recognized Him as the"Christ" and"being in very nature God."
God wants people to have knowledge of God and to be saved, and has given mankind the Bible as a book that testifies about God. I hope that the members of Zion will all have correct knowledge and understanding of God and the right faith to testify about God to all people around the world.
Those who understood Christ differently from one another
2,000 years ago, the greatest and most joyful news to mankind was delivered to the shepherds who were keeping watch over their flocks in the fields at night. It was the good news that Christ came to this earth in the flesh to save mankind from sin. They ran to Bethlehem in a hurry to see and worship Christ.
Lk 2:8-20 ¡ºAnd there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them,"Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." . . . When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another,"Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about." So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, . . . The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.¡≫
The shepherds received Jesus, who was born as a baby on this earth, as their Savior, just as the angels had told them. And a man called Simeon, who was righteous and devout, took the baby Jesus in his arms and said,"Truly, this is the one who will save us" (Lk 2:25-35). They correctly recognized Jesus, who came in the flesh, as God and the Messiah. However, other people looked at Him from a completely different viewpoint.
Mk 3:20-21 ¡ºThen Jesus entered a house, and again a crowd gathered, so that he and his disciples were not even able to eat. When his family heard about this, they went to take charge of him, for they said,"He is out of his mind."¡≫
There were people who recognized Jesus and rejoiced greatly like the shepherds and Simeon, and there were also those who just thought that He was mad and tried to capture Him. Some did not even hesitate to commit the heinous act of attempting to kill God incarnate.
Jn 10:30-33 ¡º"I and the Father are one." Again the Jews picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus said to them,"I have shown you many great miracles from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?""We are not stoning you for any of these," replied the Jews,"but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God."¡≫
God testified about Himself, but the Jews who claimed to believe in God fervently in those days did not recognize God and tried to stone Jesus. No matter how many good deeds Jesus did and no matter how many times He spoke about the things of the kingdom of God, they shut their ears and rejected Jesus, and eventually they committed the sin of crucifying Him.
People in the world have their own thoughts about God. As for God who exists as spirit, His divine nature and power are beyond human imagination, so people cannot dare to estimate them. Moreover, when God comes in the flesh, it is impossible for humans to understand Him by their own wisdom, so each of them looks at God from a different point of view.
At Jesus' first coming, people thought, ¡®How could God come in human form?' So, some people said about Jesus,"He is out of his mind," some said,"He is a ringleader of the Nazarene sect" (Ac 24:5), and others insisted that He should be crucified. Some considered Jesus as one of the prophets, some as Elijah, but the apostles like Peter and Paul recognized Him as the"Christ" and"being in very nature God."
God wants people to have knowledge of God and to be saved, and has given mankind the Bible as a book that testifies about God. I hope that the members of Zion will all have correct knowledge and understanding of God and the right faith to testify about God to all people around the world.
Those who understood Christ differently from one another
2,000 years ago, the greatest and most joyful news to mankind was delivered to the shepherds who were keeping watch over their flocks in the fields at night. It was the good news that Christ came to this earth in the flesh to save mankind from sin. They ran to Bethlehem in a hurry to see and worship Christ.
Lk 2:8-20 ¡ºAnd there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them,"Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." . . . When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another,"Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about." So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, . . . The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.¡≫
The shepherds received Jesus, who was born as a baby on this earth, as their Savior, just as the angels had told them. And a man called Simeon, who was righteous and devout, took the baby Jesus in his arms and said,"Truly, this is the one who will save us" (Lk 2:25-35). They correctly recognized Jesus, who came in the flesh, as God and the Messiah. However, other people looked at Him from a completely different viewpoint.
Mk 3:20-21 ¡ºThen Jesus entered a house, and again a crowd gathered, so that he and his disciples were not even able to eat. When his family heard about this, they went to take charge of him, for they said,"He is out of his mind."¡≫
There were people who recognized Jesus and rejoiced greatly like the shepherds and Simeon, and there were also those who just thought that He was mad and tried to capture Him. Some did not even hesitate to commit the heinous act of attempting to kill God incarnate.
Jn 10:30-33 ¡º"I and the Father are one." Again the Jews picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus said to them,"I have shown you many great miracles from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?""We are not stoning you for any of these," replied the Jews,"but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God."¡≫
God testified about Himself, but the Jews who claimed to believe in God fervently in those days did not recognize God and tried to stone Jesus. No matter how many good deeds Jesus did and no matter how many times He spoke about the things of the kingdom of God, they shut their ears and rejected Jesus, and eventually they committed the sin of crucifying Him.

The Heavenly Wedding Banquet ( Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother )
Only the people who believe in the Holy Spirit and the Bride can receive the water of life in the last age.
In World Mission Society Church of God, there are the Holy Spirit (Christ Ahnsahnghong) and the Bride (God the Mother) who give the water of life.
The Bible tells us that everything on this earth is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven (Heb 8:5). As we have a physical body,so we also have a spiritual body—a newly reborn body—which we, God’s children, will be clothed with when we go back to heaven.
As we have our physical father and mother, so we have our spiritual Father and Mother who give birth to us and will change our physical body into a spiritual, heavenly body. We can find this fact in God’s providence over the creation.
Eternal life given in accordance with nature
Our ancestors would say that it’s natural that people should realize the will of Heaven and follow it, and that everything will go well when they do it in accordance with nature. Following nature means obeying the will of Heaven.
God’s will be contained in all things He made, so following the principle of all things is the way to obey the will of Heaven.
Rev 4:9-11 『“. . . our Lord and God, . . . you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.”』
When God made all things, He created them by His will. No matter how much the world changes, it is impossible for a man to bear a child. Every male has his own duty as a man, and every female has her own duty as a woman, in accordance with the principle of God’s creation of mankind as male and female. So, it is natural that both of them should do their own duty. Ultimately, following the law or principle of nature means following God’s will for His creation.
God’s providence over creation is the will of God, and it is natural to follow it. Let’s find out what God has promised His people who follow His will.
1 Jn 2:25 『And this is what he promised us—even eternal life.』
Through all things on this earth, which are a copy and shadow, God shows us their realities—the things in heaven. The Old Testament and the New Testament mean the old covenant and the new covenant, respectively. So, it is not too much to say that all the books of the Old and New Testaments exist to testify about what God has promised—“eternal life.”
How is eternal life, which God has promised us, given to us? God already showed us the answer in His providence in creating all things. When we study the history of God’s work of creation in six days, recorded in the book of Genesis, we can see that God created man on the sixth and last day of the creation; God made the man Adam first, and then made Eve, saying, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” By creating Eve God finished all His work of creation.
The most important reason why God created woman as a “helper for man” was because the fundamental role of giving birth, which men could not do, was given to women. All living things on the earth were born through their mothers. In other words, they are given life through their mothers. This principle of life shows the law of the invisible, heavenly world.
“The wedding of the Lamb has come”
The fact that we have our fathers on this earth implies that we have our Father in heaven. We also have our brothers and sisters on this earth, which shows that we have our brothers and sisters in heaven, too. Likewise, the fact that we have our mothers who gave us physical life on this earth shows us that we have our spiritual Mother who gave us eternal life which God promised us.
As we see through an earthly family, a new home is formed when a couple marries, and children are born through the couple—the main characters in the family. It is the same with the heavenly family. Jesus told us the parable of the heavenly wedding anquet as follows:
Mt 22:1-14 『Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come. . . . Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come. Go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find.’ So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, both good and bad, and the wedding hall was filled with guests. 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.’ For many are invited, but few are chosen.”』
In the above parable, the king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son represents God, and the son, the bridegroom, stands for Jesus. Inviting people to the wedding banquet means gathering those who will be saved and go into the heavenly wedding banquet of eternal life. So, the Bible says that blessed are those who are invited to the wedding banquet.
Rev 19:9 『Then he said to me, “Write, ‘Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.’ ” . . . 』
In the parable of the wedding banquet in Matthew, however, the bride—the heroine of the wedding—is missing. This shows us that the time did not yet come for the heavenly wedding banquet to be held. Then, when is the prophecy about the wedding of the Lamb to be fulfilled?
Rev 19:6-8 『. . . “ . . . Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready. Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear.” (Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of the saints.)』
The wedding of the Lamb has an appointed time. In the parable of the wedding banquet in Matthew, the bride didn’t appear.
However, in Revelation, John said that the bride of the Lamb made herself ready. Revelation is a book of prophecy that Apostle John wrote around A.D. 96 when he saw in a vision what would take place in the future. Therefore, the event that Revelation 19:7 speaks about—“The wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready”—is to take place at Jesus’ second coming.
Our heavenly Mother is the Bride of the Lamb
Now, we need to find out who the bride, the wife of the Lamb, who has made herself ready, is. Jesus said that there are two kinds of people: those to whom the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given, and those to whom it has not been given (Mt 13:10-11).
The people, who have received a wedding invitation from the bridegroom and bride, know them and their names as well, but those who are not invited can’t know them or their names at all. Only those who are chosen and invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb can know this secret. As the Bible says, “Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!” the knowledge of the Lamb and His bride at the heavenly wedding banquet is a blessing given only to those who are chosen from among the six billion people.
Rev 21:9-10 『One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.” And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God.』
Gal 4:26 『But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.』
The angel said to John that he would show him the “bride, the wife of the Lamb,” and then showed him Jerusalem. Here, we can see that Jerusalem represents the wife of the Lamb.
Jerusalem is our spiritual Mother who gives us eternal life. Without our spiritual Mother, a new life can’t be born. When God created all things, He let them receive life through their mothers. This is God’s will and providence.
Salvation and blessing given through Mother
In God’s work of redemption for 6,000 years, the greatest promise is eternal life given by Mother. There were so many forefathers of faith and prophets who lived in accordance with God’s will, but they didn’t receive this promise of eternal life. This promise of blessing is to be given when Mother the new Jerusalem appears in the last days.
Heb 11:38-40 『the world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains, and in caves and holes in the ground. These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised. God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect.』
The promise of God, eternal life, can only be given by the coming of our spiritual Mother. Now, we are living in a very important age when this promise of eternal life is granted. God has chosen us to be the most refined people in His work of redemption for 6,000 years, and now He leads us to the kingdom of heaven. That’s why God has made known to us the core of the 66 books of the Bible, and has acknowledged us, who are following Mother in this age, as those who have the best faith.
Without the appearance of Mother, no one can get eternal life. Jesus said, “Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life” (Jn 6:53-54), when He established the Passover. We need to understand the providence of God. If salvation had been able to be fulfilled by Jesus’ establishing the Passover of the new covenant at His first coming, the age of the Holy Spirit would not have been required. The meaning of the Passover bread and wine can only be fulfilled when the existence of our heavenly Mother is revealed.
God divided the redemption period of six thousand years into three ages—the age of the Father, the age of the Son and the age of the Holy Spirit, and made plans for our salvation in each age. In God’s work of creation in six days, the last thing God did was to create Eve. This shows that salvation can be completed by our Mother who is to appear in the last days.
That’s why in John 6 Jesus repeated the same words, “I will raise him up at the last day,” even four times.
Without Eve, a woman, life cannot be born. This precious secret of eternal life has been given to us in this age. Since we have received freely the promise of the greatest blessing, which cannot be replaced with anything else in the world, we must not neglect our salvation.
From the creation of the world, God has prophesied about the existence of our heavenly Mother who gives us spiritual birth.
Ge 3:20 『Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become the mother of all the living.』
The Bible tells us that Adam represents the one to come, Jesus (Ro 5:14). Since Adam stands for Jesus, we can easily understand that Eve, the wife of Adam, represents the wife of Jesus, the Lamb. Adam named his wife “Eve.” The name “Eve” means “life” (see note on Ge 3:20). Jesus, represented by Adam, named His wife “Eve,” which means “life.” Through this, Jesus showed us that it is His will for life to be born through His wife. The ultimate fruit of God’s redemption work for 6,000 years is eternal life, and the One who is indispensable for giving eternal life is our Mother, the wife of the Lamb, represented by Eve.
The Spirit and the Bride give us the water of life
Without Mother, there is no eternal life. Without Mother, there is no truth. Those who do not believe in Mother can’t receive the promise of eternal life and the kingdom of heaven.
In the last chapter of the Bible, we can see that the water of life is given to those who realize our heavenly Father and Mother, who are the Bridegroom and the Bride at the heavenly wedding banquet, and come to the wedding feast.
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 our Father, and the bride is the wife of our Father, so she is our Mother. Our Father and Mother both give us the water of life, but the Bible describes God as a singular entity. It’s because God the Father is the representative of the heavenly family. In the book of Romans, it is written that sin entered the world through one man, Adam (Ro 5:12).
This shows that the Bible views Adam as a representative, considering Eve as a part of Adam. Since Eve was created from the rib of Adam, the Bible says that they became one flesh (Ge 2:21-24). Also, people have the view that husband and wife are one. This view is originated from the providence of God.
However, in the New Testament, Mother is described as a completely separate entity. It’s because we can only be born to eternal life when our Father and Mother appear in the last days. The Bible testifies so clearly that there are the Spirit and the Bride who give us the water of life. Nevertheless, some people deny the existence of the Bride. The Bible concludes by saying that such people can never enter the everlasting kingdom of heaven.
There are so many churches in the world today, as numerous as the sands by the sea. However, they do not know the heavenly Mother, nor do they believe in Her or call upon Her. The heavenly Father and Mother, who give eternal life, are not their Gods, and the privilege to know Them is not given to them.
In World Mission Society Church of God, there are the Holy Spirit (Christ Ahnsahnghong) and the Bride (God the Mother) who give the water of life.
The Bible tells us that everything on this earth is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven (Heb 8:5). As we have a physical body,so we also have a spiritual body—a newly reborn body—which we, God’s children, will be clothed with when we go back to heaven.
As we have our physical father and mother, so we have our spiritual Father and Mother who give birth to us and will change our physical body into a spiritual, heavenly body. We can find this fact in God’s providence over the creation.
Eternal life given in accordance with nature
Our ancestors would say that it’s natural that people should realize the will of Heaven and follow it, and that everything will go well when they do it in accordance with nature. Following nature means obeying the will of Heaven.
God’s will be contained in all things He made, so following the principle of all things is the way to obey the will of Heaven.
Rev 4:9-11 『“. . . our Lord and God, . . . you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.”』
When God made all things, He created them by His will. No matter how much the world changes, it is impossible for a man to bear a child. Every male has his own duty as a man, and every female has her own duty as a woman, in accordance with the principle of God’s creation of mankind as male and female. So, it is natural that both of them should do their own duty. Ultimately, following the law or principle of nature means following God’s will for His creation.
God’s providence over creation is the will of God, and it is natural to follow it. Let’s find out what God has promised His people who follow His will.
1 Jn 2:25 『And this is what he promised us—even eternal life.』
Through all things on this earth, which are a copy and shadow, God shows us their realities—the things in heaven. The Old Testament and the New Testament mean the old covenant and the new covenant, respectively. So, it is not too much to say that all the books of the Old and New Testaments exist to testify about what God has promised—“eternal life.”
How is eternal life, which God has promised us, given to us? God already showed us the answer in His providence in creating all things. When we study the history of God’s work of creation in six days, recorded in the book of Genesis, we can see that God created man on the sixth and last day of the creation; God made the man Adam first, and then made Eve, saying, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” By creating Eve God finished all His work of creation.
The most important reason why God created woman as a “helper for man” was because the fundamental role of giving birth, which men could not do, was given to women. All living things on the earth were born through their mothers. In other words, they are given life through their mothers. This principle of life shows the law of the invisible, heavenly world.
“The wedding of the Lamb has come”
The fact that we have our fathers on this earth implies that we have our Father in heaven. We also have our brothers and sisters on this earth, which shows that we have our brothers and sisters in heaven, too. Likewise, the fact that we have our mothers who gave us physical life on this earth shows us that we have our spiritual Mother who gave us eternal life which God promised us.
As we see through an earthly family, a new home is formed when a couple marries, and children are born through the couple—the main characters in the family. It is the same with the heavenly family. Jesus told us the parable of the heavenly wedding anquet as follows:
Mt 22:1-14 『Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come. . . . Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come. Go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find.’ So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, both good and bad, and the wedding hall was filled with guests. 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.’ For many are invited, but few are chosen.”』
In the above parable, the king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son represents God, and the son, the bridegroom, stands for Jesus. Inviting people to the wedding banquet means gathering those who will be saved and go into the heavenly wedding banquet of eternal life. So, the Bible says that blessed are those who are invited to the wedding banquet.
Rev 19:9 『Then he said to me, “Write, ‘Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.’ ” . . . 』
In the parable of the wedding banquet in Matthew, however, the bride—the heroine of the wedding—is missing. This shows us that the time did not yet come for the heavenly wedding banquet to be held. Then, when is the prophecy about the wedding of the Lamb to be fulfilled?
Rev 19:6-8 『. . . “ . . . Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready. Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear.” (Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of the saints.)』
The wedding of the Lamb has an appointed time. In the parable of the wedding banquet in Matthew, the bride didn’t appear.
However, in Revelation, John said that the bride of the Lamb made herself ready. Revelation is a book of prophecy that Apostle John wrote around A.D. 96 when he saw in a vision what would take place in the future. Therefore, the event that Revelation 19:7 speaks about—“The wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready”—is to take place at Jesus’ second coming.
Our heavenly Mother is the Bride of the Lamb
Now, we need to find out who the bride, the wife of the Lamb, who has made herself ready, is. Jesus said that there are two kinds of people: those to whom the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given, and those to whom it has not been given (Mt 13:10-11).
The people, who have received a wedding invitation from the bridegroom and bride, know them and their names as well, but those who are not invited can’t know them or their names at all. Only those who are chosen and invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb can know this secret. As the Bible says, “Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!” the knowledge of the Lamb and His bride at the heavenly wedding banquet is a blessing given only to those who are chosen from among the six billion people.
Rev 21:9-10 『One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.” And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God.』
Gal 4:26 『But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.』
The angel said to John that he would show him the “bride, the wife of the Lamb,” and then showed him Jerusalem. Here, we can see that Jerusalem represents the wife of the Lamb.
Jerusalem is our spiritual Mother who gives us eternal life. Without our spiritual Mother, a new life can’t be born. When God created all things, He let them receive life through their mothers. This is God’s will and providence.
Salvation and blessing given through Mother
In God’s work of redemption for 6,000 years, the greatest promise is eternal life given by Mother. There were so many forefathers of faith and prophets who lived in accordance with God’s will, but they didn’t receive this promise of eternal life. This promise of blessing is to be given when Mother the new Jerusalem appears in the last days.
Heb 11:38-40 『the world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains, and in caves and holes in the ground. These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised. God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect.』
The promise of God, eternal life, can only be given by the coming of our spiritual Mother. Now, we are living in a very important age when this promise of eternal life is granted. God has chosen us to be the most refined people in His work of redemption for 6,000 years, and now He leads us to the kingdom of heaven. That’s why God has made known to us the core of the 66 books of the Bible, and has acknowledged us, who are following Mother in this age, as those who have the best faith.
Without the appearance of Mother, no one can get eternal life. Jesus said, “Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life” (Jn 6:53-54), when He established the Passover. We need to understand the providence of God. If salvation had been able to be fulfilled by Jesus’ establishing the Passover of the new covenant at His first coming, the age of the Holy Spirit would not have been required. The meaning of the Passover bread and wine can only be fulfilled when the existence of our heavenly Mother is revealed.
God divided the redemption period of six thousand years into three ages—the age of the Father, the age of the Son and the age of the Holy Spirit, and made plans for our salvation in each age. In God’s work of creation in six days, the last thing God did was to create Eve. This shows that salvation can be completed by our Mother who is to appear in the last days.
That’s why in John 6 Jesus repeated the same words, “I will raise him up at the last day,” even four times.
Without Eve, a woman, life cannot be born. This precious secret of eternal life has been given to us in this age. Since we have received freely the promise of the greatest blessing, which cannot be replaced with anything else in the world, we must not neglect our salvation.
From the creation of the world, God has prophesied about the existence of our heavenly Mother who gives us spiritual birth.
Ge 3:20 『Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become the mother of all the living.』
The Bible tells us that Adam represents the one to come, Jesus (Ro 5:14). Since Adam stands for Jesus, we can easily understand that Eve, the wife of Adam, represents the wife of Jesus, the Lamb. Adam named his wife “Eve.” The name “Eve” means “life” (see note on Ge 3:20). Jesus, represented by Adam, named His wife “Eve,” which means “life.” Through this, Jesus showed us that it is His will for life to be born through His wife. The ultimate fruit of God’s redemption work for 6,000 years is eternal life, and the One who is indispensable for giving eternal life is our Mother, the wife of the Lamb, represented by Eve.
The Spirit and the Bride give us the water of life
Without Mother, there is no eternal life. Without Mother, there is no truth. Those who do not believe in Mother can’t receive the promise of eternal life and the kingdom of heaven.
In the last chapter of the Bible, we can see that the water of life is given to those who realize our heavenly Father and Mother, who are the Bridegroom and the Bride at the heavenly wedding banquet, and come to the wedding feast.
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 our Father, and the bride is the wife of our Father, so she is our Mother. Our Father and Mother both give us the water of life, but the Bible describes God as a singular entity. It’s because God the Father is the representative of the heavenly family. In the book of Romans, it is written that sin entered the world through one man, Adam (Ro 5:12).
This shows that the Bible views Adam as a representative, considering Eve as a part of Adam. Since Eve was created from the rib of Adam, the Bible says that they became one flesh (Ge 2:21-24). Also, people have the view that husband and wife are one. This view is originated from the providence of God.
However, in the New Testament, Mother is described as a completely separate entity. It’s because we can only be born to eternal life when our Father and Mother appear in the last days. The Bible testifies so clearly that there are the Spirit and the Bride who give us the water of life. Nevertheless, some people deny the existence of the Bride. The Bible concludes by saying that such people can never enter the everlasting kingdom of heaven.
There are so many churches in the world today, as numerous as the sands by the sea. However, they do not know the heavenly Mother, nor do they believe in Her or call upon Her. The heavenly Father and Mother, who give eternal life, are not their Gods, and the privilege to know Them is not given to them.
The Bible says, “Blessed are those who participate in the wedding banquet,” or, “Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding feast.” We can see that the blessed people, who are invited to the everlasting heavenly wedding banquet, are those who believe the truth about God the Father and also realize and believe the truth about Mother completely. I hope that we all God’s sons and daughters will keep our faith in the Spirit and the Bride, who have called us to receive the water of life, until the end, so that our mortal bodies can be changed into spiritual bodies.

The hidden treasure and Jerusalem Mother.( God the 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.

Mother Jerusalem Testified By Christ Ahnsahnghong ( God the 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 word “mother” have often been associated with nurture, unconditional love, and sacrifice.
Even the toughest people may find their eyes well-up with tears at just the mention of their “mother.”
The mother is an essential factor in the family system;
she is the one who carries the baby in her womb for 9 months, she is the one who endures the labor pains of childbirth, and she is the one who works hard raise up her children.
Mother’s are essential to physical life? what about spiritual life?
Those who have studied the Bible may have noticed many passages that reference the feminine aspect of God, to name a few:
Galatians 4:26 “But the Jerusalem that is above is free and she is our mother.”
Isaiah 66:10-13 “Rejoice with Jerusalem and be glad for her, all you who love her;…For you will nurse and be satisfied at her comforting breasts; you will drink deeply and delight in her overflowing abundance…as a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you; and you will be comforted over Jerusalem.”
Revelation 21:2 “I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.”
Revelation 19:7 “Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready… Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!”
Christ Ahnsahnghong used the prophets of the Bible testified about the femininity of God, then, isn’t it curious that modern-day Christians do no talk about God the Mother?
You many have even pondered this question within yourself, “Why is there only God the Father and not God the Mother?
This is a thought provoking and sensitive matter for some, but for the members of the World Mission Society Church of God, the existence of God the Mother is the Truth.
God is not only God the Father Ahnsahnghong; God is also God the Mother.
The Church of God was started by its founder ,Christ Ahnsahnghong. In 1948, after being baptized at age 30 according to the prophecy of the Fig Tree Lesson.
Christ Ahnsahnghong launched what has been described as “the Restoration Movement of the Truth and Faith of the Early Church”.
Christ Ahnsahnghong officially re-established the Church of God in 1964.
During His 37 year reign fulfilling King David’s Throne, Christ Ahnsahnghong revealed through the Bible that Sunday service, Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving Day, cross reverence and other teachings practiced in many churches now a days are actually pagan doctrines that were introduced during the Dark Ages.
The members of the Church of God believe that Ahnsahnghong is the second coming Christ who quietly came and unsealed the secret of the Seven Thunders and all mysteries of the Bible?namely the Heavenly Mother Today, the Church of God World Mission Society is the only church that keeps the Saturday Sabbath and the Seven Feasts of Three times, following the example of Christ.
Among these feasts is the New Covenant Passover through which Jesus gave His disciples the promise of eternal life.
Women in the Church of God can be seen using the veil during worship services
(1 Corinthians 11:1-10)
and the three names of God can be during the baptism ceremony
(The Father “Jehovah”, the Son “Jesus”, and the Holy Spirit “Christ Ahnsahnghong”, Matthew 28:19-20, Revelation 2:17, Revelation 3:11-13).
These are the distinguishing practices of the Church of God, confirming their adherence to the original teachings of Christ.
Before His ascension in 1985, “Christ Ahnsahnghong” left a message for his followers:
“Elisha followed Elijah. Peter followed Jesus. I follow Mother.”
This is why the Church of God members earnestly follow the Teachings of Heavenly Mother:
“As Abraham was blessed with the better when he conceded to his nephew Lot, so we are blessed even more when we concede to our brothers and sisters.“
“It is more blessed to give love than to receive, as God always give love.”
“A beautiful mind has no hate and brings forth a perfect love”
“As the sea receives all the dirt and purifies it, we should have a broad and beautiful mind enough to cover up even the faults of our brothers and sisters”
Such teachings are the foundation of the Church of God World Mission Society.
Even as statistics reveal a downfall in attendance among churches, the revelation of the existence of Heavenly Mother is attracting people all over the world to the Church of God. In less than 50 years, the Church of God has become the fastest growing church in the world: It has over 1.5 million registered members, 1900 branch churches, and can be found in 150 countries and on 6 continents.
And soon the whole world will know that Christ Ahnsahnghong and Mother Jerusalem are thruly Almighty God, the creator of the heavens and the earth.
Thank you so much Father Ahnsahgnhong and Mother Jerusalem.
