The Passover, the secret of the kingdom of heaven

Now many people know that the Passover is the feast of God which allows us eternal life. However, some people consider those who keep the Passover as legalists or even heretics. How pathetic! Why do some realize the fact that the Passover should be observed while others do not although they all read the same Bible? Of course, we can find the answer in the Bible.

 

He replied, “The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them… This is why I speak to them in parables: “Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand. (Matthew 13:11-13)

 

It means that there are people who are allowed to understand the secrets of the kingdom of heaven while there are also those who are not allowed to. The Passover is a secret of the kingdom of heaven which contains the blessings of the forgiveness of sins and everlasting life. Therefore, not everyone can understand the Passover. What’s the difference between those who understand the Passover and those who don’t? 

 

Then I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne a scroll [the Scriptures] with writing on both sides and sealed with seven seals. And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?” But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or even look inside it. I wept and wept because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside. (Revelation 5:1-4)

 

The Apostle John wept much on the island of Patmos when he heard the words of God would be sealed with seven seals and no one could open the scroll or even look inside it. It is natural that John could not help but cry. Since then, people could not understand the secrets of the kingdom of heaven although they see and read the Bible. It means that people were not able to know the Passover. Fortunately, however, the Bible would not be sealed for good. 

 

Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.” Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing in the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. (Revelation 5:5-6)

 

It’s written that the scroll would be opened by a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, or Jesus who is the Root of David. Therefore, those who receive the Second Coming Jesus can know the secret of the kingdom of heaven or the Passover. In other words, those who keep the Passover have received the Second Coming Jesus.

 

Do you know who keeps the Passover today? Only the World Mission Society Church of God (WMSCOG) keeps the Passover in the world as did Jesus and the apostles 2,000 years ago. This means that the Second Coming Jesus has already come to this church. Who is the Second Coming Jesus? We cannot realize the true meaning of the Passover until we receive him. The Passover is the feast which Jesus desired to keep and the secret of the kingdom of heaven for which the Apostle John cried bitterly with the concern that it would not be observed.

God the Father Ahnsahnghong is very the Second Coming Jesus and He restored all those broken God’s laws so His children could safely keep them to enter the kingdom of heaven without fail.  In this last days, only those who receieve Christ Ahnsahnghong should receieve the water of life -eternal life.

Regarding the instance that He cannot die again

Those who deny the Second Coming Christ, Ahnsahnghong, of the World Mission Society Church of God claim as follows: The Bible says that “Christ cannot die again.” But Ahnsahnghong passed away. Therefore, He is not the Second Coming Christ. However, they insist such a claim because they could not understand the matter of a spiritual body and a natural boy properly and interpreted the Bible wrongly. If we have been united with him like this in his death, we will certainly also be united with him in his resurrection…. Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. (Romans 6:5-9) This Verse means that those who are baptized will receive eternal life which does not die as Christ died and was raised from the dead. Of course, it does not mean that a natural body will live forever. They will live forever without death as God’s children with spiritual bodies. …and they can no longer die; for they are like the angels. They are God’s children, since they are children of the resurrection. (Luke 20:36) So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body [physical body], it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body [physical body], there is also a spiritual body. (1 Corinthians 15:42-44) The resurrection means that the natural body will be changed into a spiritual body to live for good. Just as a caterpillar is clothed with a new body of a dragonfly, so one who receives God will be changed to a new body which can live forever according to the promise of God. I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood [what is made of flesh and blood] cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed– in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable [what is mortal] must clothe itself with the imperishable [what is immortal], and the mortal with immortality. When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.” (1 Corinthians 15:51-54)

Flesh and blood – visible bodies – cannot inherit the kingdom of God. It’s because we with bodies cannot enter the kingdom of heaven which is the kingdom of the Spiritual God. Therefore, the words “He cannot die again” are not about the natural body but the spiritual body. Jesus, who had been in a spiritual body, has come a second time in the flesh as He did 2,000 years ago to bring salvation to mankind (Hebrews 9:28.) Those who truly understand and follow the will of God should at least know that the natural body is one thing and the spiritual body is totally another thing.

Through the grace of God the Father Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother even haven given us this precious message that we have our spritual home, which is heavenly kingdom. I truly give all thanks and praise to Father Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother!

The goal of our faith is the salvation of our souls

Why do people work for companies? 

Some say that they feel happy while working in a company. Others say that they are having a happy work life due to good colleagues. There will be also people who find something worth by participating in community services in the course of working in a company. However, are there any people who continue to work for a company if they are not paid? The primary purpose of working for a company is to live on their salary. Even if they love their jobs or they are happy to work with other colleagues, people have no reason to work for companies if they are not paid.

Then, what’s the purpose of our faith in God?

Some say that they live a religious life to find peace of mind. Others say that they live a life of faith because they enjoy meeting people. Or there are people who are happy to participate in community services while attending the church. However, can these be the ultimate purpose of our faith life?

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. (1 Peter 1:8-9)

 

The most important goal of our faith is the salvation of our souls. A life of faith without the salvation of souls is no more than a job without salary. Although they might feel happy or they think they obtain something worth, their efforts will be in vain in the end. The problem is that many churches teach different doctrines and different religious lives depending on their denominations. Which way of faith is the right one which leads us to the salvation of our souls?

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers [depart from me, you workers of lawlessness – ESV]!’ (Matthew 7:21-23)

 

Before getting the truth in World Mission Society Church of God (WMSCOG), I was living such a painful and stressful life everyday.  I thought the only goal in my life was to make lots of money and life happily forever.  However, whenever I studied the Bible and saw what God really wanted us to do on this earth, then nothing seemed meaningful.

Of course it is important to make money and enrich our life.  However, we should not forget one very important thing- to get eteral life and be safe in God.

Throught the grace of God the Father and God the Mother, I came to realize that we all should pursue the goal of our faith in God- the salvation of our souls.

Those who live a life of lawless faith which does not follow the will of God cannot enter the kingdom of heaven even though they call ‘Lord, Lord’, act as prophets who preach God, cast out demons or perform many miracles. They can obtain nothing while making many efforts.

Why should we do the will of God to get the salvation of our souls? It’s because the Word of God is the promise of salvation.

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. (John 6:53-55)

Whether we can receive life or not depends on following this Word containing the promise of eternal life. Then, how can we eat and drink the flesh and blood of Jesus?

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. (Matthew 26:19-28)

Jesus promised that the Passover bread is His flesh and the Passover wine is His blood. Therefore, faith without keeping the Passover cannot give us the salvation of souls. Those who do not observe the Passover worship God in vain. Religious life which results in the salvation of souls, the goal of faith, is that of receiving eternal life through the Passover of the new covenant. If you believe in God, please live a life of faith which leads you to the kingdom of heaven by following the will of God.

Choose the path of life

God the Father and God the Mother have made us known the path of life to save our souls.

 

You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand. (Psalms 16:11)

 

But, the problem is that there is also a path that leads us to death. Moreover, the path of death seems right to a man.

 

There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death. (Proverbs 14:12)

 

It’s not easy to tell from the path of life from the path of death with our common sense. For this reason, God said that we must forsake our own thoughts and obey God’s thoughts.

 

Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts. Let him turn to the LORD, and he will have mercy on him, and to our God, for he will freely pardon. “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the LORD. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. (Isaiah 55:7-9)

 

Then, what is the way of life Christ Ahnsahnghong has showed us?

 

This is what the LORD says: “Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But you said, ‘We will not walk in it.’ (Jeremiah 6:16)

 

Remember the height from which you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first [the first works: KJV]. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place. (Revelation 2:5)

 

Keeping and following the teachings that Jesus granted us at first — it is the path of life. Some claim, “Isn’t it better to celebrate Christmas than not to celebrate any day although it was the birthday of sun-god?” Others think it’s better to keep Sunday rather than to keep Saturday which is the Sabbath day because most people rest on Sunday and more people can come to God. There are also people that it doesn’t matter to erect a cross because they remember the sacrifice of Christ whenever they see the cross although it was once used as an execution tool and it was even used as a symbol of pagan religion.

 

But, there are no verses in the Bible which indicate that Jesus was born on December 25th, which specify that the Sabbath was changed to Sunday, or which teach us to erect the cross. The teaching Jesus taught originally and showed us as an example is the new covenant including the Sabbath day and the Passover.

In World Mission Society Church of God (WMSCOG) keeps and follows what was given through Jesus 2000 years ago.  The reason the members from WMSCOG have belief in God the Father and Heavenly Mother is that there are countless prophecies testifying that we do have God the Father and God the Mother also.

 

Please do not forget the words of God: “There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads us to death.” Any other gospel that deviates from the path of life is mere the path of death whatever people make any excuses. We should forsake our thoughts and acknowledge the ancient path is the good way, and then repent and do the first works: it’s the path of life.

The earnest prayer of God the Mother

In my mom’s cell phone, my number is saved in the name of “my dream”.

One day, I asked her with some curiosity, “Mom, why did you save my number like that?” “My girl is mom’s everything.  Her life is my life and she is my dream and that is why I did it.”

When I feel pleased, so does she, and when I feel sad, she feels more sorrowful.

I must be mom’s everything and her only hope for sure.

Now I can think of our God  the Mother.  Even though we are lack of everyhthing and always need Heavenly Mother’s support, God the Mother never gives up on us and rather, She thinks us the most precious ones enough to enter the kindom of heaven.

From now on, I would like to make every effort to please God the Father and God the Mlother with all our hearts and minds.

God the Mother is always sorry

There is a word that my mom constantly tells to me and my sister.

That is the word, ‘sorry.’

She says sorry even if she hasn’t done anything wrong.
“Mom, I asked you to wash this clothes for me!”
“I’m sorry, I forgot. I will wash it for you tomorrow. Sorry.”
“Mom, you told me that you’re going to make this for me.”
“I’m sorry. I will surely make that for you tomorrow.”
“Mom, why didn’t you come to pick me up!”
“I’m sorry. I’m coming.”
We are the ones to be sorry since we always ask her for things, but my mom always says she is sorry to us.
During puberty, after quarreling with my dad, I packed my suitcase and ran away from home.

At that time, my mom came running without her shoes on and said with tears,
“I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. It’s all my fault, so let’s go home.”
Even when she is sick, she prepares breakfast for us in the early morning.

When she couldn’t possibly prepare breakfast by chance, she again apologizes.

When I vent my anger to her because I couldn’t find something that carelessly put somewhere in the house, she apologizes for not taking care of it.

My younger sister has troubles getting up in the mornings, so she has a tantrum whenever my mom wakes her up.

Whenever that happens, my mom would apologize.

When my sister gets angry when mom wakes my sister late by chance, my mom would apologize again.
When my mom goes to buy things in the market, she will be relentlessly bargaining.

When she goes to a restaurant she will be meticulous about the dishes.

That would make me embarrass. However, she becomes very weak only in front of her children.
Looking at my mom, it reminds me of Father Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother.

Whenever I watch the Biblical play, ‘Heavenly Mother’s Great Sacrifice 1-Heaven,’ there is a part which makes my heart ache so much.

That is when Father Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother drop down and weep mournfully, after Their children are expelled from Heaven.

Compared to the sorrow of Father Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother, the Heaven is cruelly, expressed so beautifully.

Just for the fact that Her children are expelled, She doesn’t see the glorious beautiful Heaven, but laments.

Though I gave true thanks to God the Mother who loved this sinner so much, I hated myself so much for hurting Her.
Writing this, I give thanks for the fact that I am the child receiving the love of Father Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother.

God will give up everything to give love for the children.

Now, I will try my best to put that love into action for my Heavenly brothers and sisters.

I truly give thanks to Heavenly Father Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother for their infinite love, allowing me to live as their child.

Thank You – God the Mother

I felt all the more keenly that there are so many things to thank for in life.  One day, hearing my mom who has been suffering from a chronic disease fell with a thud, I hurried off to the hospital.  Bleeding heavily with the rupture of a blood vessel, she was helplessly lying on the bed in the emergency room.

All the way to the hospital, I didn’t know what to do at all but when I saw mom getting the IV injection, I could feel a little relieved.  My sister who first found mom falling in the living room in the early morning rushed to the hospital seemed so haggard.  I asked her to bring some toiletries and clothes from home and then I sat next to my mom.  Looking at her sleeping face as white as a sheet, I couldn’t stop shedding tears in vain.  Since her heavy bleeding, she continued to receive transfusion while she was in hospital.  Without blood for transfusions, she would have come across something wrong.

At that moment, some news contents I watched the other day suddenly occurred to me.  The news was that in spite of falling blood supplies with the decreasing number of blood donors in this hot summertime, they thank The International We Love You Foundation for its hundreds of members took the head in the blood donation movement.

I truly give thanks to God Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother for allowing me to realize the true love of God the Mother and to have an opportunity to practice the love for others.

 

Pain of Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother

I would like to give thanks to Elohim God for allowing me this great opportunity to share the fragrance of Zion, even though I am not good enough. I heard a sister who left for overseas preaching around this time a year ago is coming back temporarily. For the last few days, I was very excited at the news my heavenly family whom I cried and laughed with, doing gospel together is finally coming back. Remembering her with a bright and humorous look enough to flow laughter a midst other brothers and sisters, a smile came to my lips and I felt happy and pleased day by day.

‘How many hardships would she have suffered to preach gospel in a country of extreme heat? How dark would her skin be? Would she lose her weight? If I meet her, I’m going to ask her the fragrance of Zion and I’m going to tell her the news over here.”

Meanwhile, when I was entering Zion in the lunch time, I heard some screaming sound on the second floor. When I went there, guessing if we found a heavenly family, there was a sister who left for overseas preaching. We couldn’t believe how glad we were and embraced each other, tearing in our eyes. Thinking how many hardships she would have suffered in a poor and scorching hot country, I felt very thankful to her and even admirable. All the time of having lunch, we laughed together and shouted for gladness to each one of brothers and sisters, without keeping our hands off easily. After lunch, we sat around her and shared the fragrance of Zion.
When we said goodbye, promising to meet again, a thought of God the Mother automatically entered my mind. Our spiritual brothers and sisters felt so glad and happy this much to meet again after being apart for a long time. Then, how would Heavenly Mother feel? How would She feel when heavenly children who were born and suffered in a hot and a cold country finally come to meet Her?

God the Mother who waits for Her children without going to sleep even until late time at night, who was in the middle of having a meal but running in a heartbeat at the news Her children are visiting Her. Even though we just met together, being far apart for 6000 years, the time to be together is only 15 days. We cannot imagine how God the Father Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother would feel, for Theye had to let Their children go again.

Father Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother, I am truly sorry that you got painful because of our sins. Now, I would like to become children of God, who would try my best to enter the kingdom of heaven where there is no part between God the Father Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother.  Mother who came down to this earth in the flesh since She should feel happy only with Her children. I truly give all thanks and praises to your grace and mercy again and again. Please accept all my thanks and praises forever and ever.

Thanking to God Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother

“Squack, Squack.”

You would have once seen a bunch of gulls crying noisily, covering a whole island.

I have seen a documentary which was about a black-tailed gull’s life. This black-tailed gull lays its 4 to 5 eggs in the bushes of a deserted island during May to August, and incubates them.

With an effort, the hatchlings try to survive by remembering their mother’s voice.

Those noisy cries were made by the hatchlings, voices calling for their mother.

Since multiple numbers of black-tailed gulls live in a small space, their turf war is intense.

The bushes are a threatening place for the hatchlings, who cannot distinguish what they see. The young hatchling isn’t an exception as a target of attack.

If one of the gulls crosses over its territory, the hatchlings’ life is in danger. That is why by nature, the hatchlings rely on their mother’s voice.

When the mother alerts, the hatchlings come together in haste, drop their heads down, and wait until their mother’s warning to be canceled.

After listening to their mother’s approval that it’s alright, they then loosen up their bodies and move here and there.

The black-tailed gull cannot distinguish the voice of its own hatchlings.

That is because it cannot catch the change of their hatchlings’ voice, since the hatchlings grow too quickly.

So when the hatchlings shrink with alert and do not snuggle into their mother, the mother gull; deluding itself that they are hatchlings of another gull, attacks them.

The other gulls also distinguish their hatchlings with the hatchlings’ behavior.

It is pitiful to watch young hatchlings being attacked by another mother gull. When a hatchling of another violates a territory, the mother gull of that territory attacks them until they die.

The poor hatchling struggles to survive, but most of them die because they have left their mother.

On the island, you can see dead hatchlings here and there.

When I noticed the hatchling can only survive from the enemies by remembering its mother’s voice, following what the mother had told it to do, and seeing the mother trying to protect its hatchling, it made me think of the heavenly world.

Though we cannot see the invisible world, it brought me to attention thinking that the battle with the evil spirits would be also intense.  Father Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother protect us from many attacks of the evil spirits, and teaches us that we must obey God’s words in order to return to the heavenly home.

I truly give thanks to God the Father Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother.  Even today, She protects these weak children’s souls under Her wings, and leads us with love to Heaven.

Until the day, when we go back to our home, I will become a faithful child who listens attentively to our the voice of Father Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother, and a child who obeys.

 

 

When God Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother feel the most pleased

 

It’s been a long time since all my relatives got together.  One cousin confessed that he could understand parent’s hearts after getting married and my parents said a few words to him.

“Do you know when is the happiest moment for parents?  When the food that they made with love and care goes into children’s mouth, it pleases them the most.”

This remark gave me a lot to think about.  Our spiritual parents – Christ Ahnsahnghong annd God the Mother also would feel the most pleased when Their children eat and drink the bread and wine of the Passover that They allowed to us.

We should not forget the mind of our Christ Ahnsahnghong annd God the Mother.

“And he said to them, I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.” (Luke 22:15)
