The Passover which gives Salvation in Disaster

Nowadays many disasters happen around us.
If we try to be careful to avoid from disaster, we can't live as normal life.

There are lots of disasters like earthquake, tsunami, 2009 flu pandemic etc..
But amazing fact is that all these things have been prophesied in the bible.


There would be an increase in earthquakes-Mt 24:2,3,7; Mk 13:8; Lk 21:11. This prophecy is correct. That’s 9 out of 9.

Note: One might think as the earth settled over a period of time that earthquakes would decrease like ripples in the water. Yet the Bible indicates the opposite is true. In this last generation, research from the U.S. Geological Survey, National Earthquake Information Center reveals that major earthquakes of a magnitude of 6.0 or higher have remained relatively constant during this century. However, the total number of earthqu
akes in recent years appear to be rising. For example, it was reported that in 1986, the total number of earthquakes was 12,718. In l990, it was 16,612. In 1994, it was 19,371. This will culminate during the Battle of Armageddon, AFTER THE TRIBULATION OF THOSE DAYS. At that time, there will be an earthquake that will shake the world. The cities of the nations will fall. Every island will flee away.

At the time of the end, there would be famines in various places. Food shortages would still exist in some places-Mt 24:3,4,7; ref Mk 13:8; Lk 21:11. This prophecy is accurate. That’s 10 out of 10.

Note: In this last generation, many are starving in the world. Poverty and crop failure, due to severe weather, drought, or insect infestation, are often a factor. Many people are born, live, and die on the streets, in alleyways, or railroad stations in some countries of the world. Multitudes live in mud houses with grass or palm branches for a roof or have no place to live at all. Billions have no electricity. In some nations, good drinking water is almost nonexistent. Senseless wars have left millions of people with no place to go. Refugee camps exist in many places where people live under conditions that are almost indescribable. They are hungry.

One such person was asked, as I recall, “What would it take for you to consider yourself rich?” His reply was, “I would consider myself rich, if I could have a roof over my head that did not leak, and if I could know what it is like to go to bed at night with a full stomach.”
It has been estimated that 60,000,000 people a year die from starvation around the world. This prophecy is accurate.


But we don't need to be afraid of this. Because God has promised us to save with the passover.
The passover is a feast of God. And the passover means disasters pass over us.
We can see many examples in the bible. ( Ex 12:1-13, 2 Ch 30:1, 2 Ki 19:30-35)
I really thank to God because I'm not worried about any disasters.

The Necessity of God the Mother - World mission society Church of God with Christ Ahnsahnghong


World mission society Church of God follows God's teaching according to the bible .
World mission society Church of God believes Christ Ahnsahnghong who is second coming Christ .

World mission society Church of God : http://usa.watv.org


If one does not joyfully receive the good news of the Bible and Heavenly Mother, one
will not be able to enter the eternal Kingdom. We believe in God because God Almighty will give us eternal life. Then, many believe they have life through Jesus Christ alone, but let's take a careful look at the words of Jesus from 2,000 years ago.



John 6:39 "...that I shall lose none of all that he has given me, but raise them up at the last day...everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day."


Yes, Jesus did promise eternal life, however there is one condition "at the last day".
John 6:53 "Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day."


What is the reason He didn't give eternal life 2,000 years ago but only promised it at the last day?


Jesus Christ must come in the pattern of Adam (1Cor 15:45). Now, what does it mean to come in the pattern of Adam? It means between Jesus and Adam there are some prophetical points. Adam and Even were always together. This Means, if Jesus is really the last Adam He should appear with the last Eve because She is the Mother for all the living (Gen 2:20).


Rev 19:7 "Rejoice and be glad for the wedding of the Lamb (Second Coming Jesus) has come and His bride has made Herself ready"


This bride who is to appear in the last days is the spiritual Even, the wife of Spiritual Adam, that is Second Coming Christ. According to Rev 21:9 the wife is Holy City Jerusalem who is coming down out of Heaven.


Gal 4:26 "But the Jerusalem that is above is free and she is our Mother"



Even Apostle Paul understood the necesity of Heavenly Mother. The reason why Jesus promised eternal life ONLY at the last days is because God the Mother, the giver of life is to appear as the last Eve. Christ Ahn Sahng Hong (The Last Adam) has appeared with Heavenly Mother (The Last Eve) to give us eternal life. Those who come to Mother will be blessed with the gift of the water of life and enter the Kingdom of Heaven (Rev 22:17).

World Mission Society Church of God( with Christ Ahnsahnghong ) preaches our Home Country




World Mission Society Church of God believes Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly mother who is our savior in these days.
Even though there are many churches in this world but they don't keep the God's commandments. But Church of God World mission society keeps all God's feasts.

Sometimes while living in this world, we feel like we do not belong or we are lonely.
Even according to the Bible, the forefathers of faith admitted they were aliens and strangers on this earth.
(Hebrews 11:13)

This world is not our true home.
If we come to think about this earth being our true home, then why haven’t the people that died returned? We never see accounts of people coming back to their home on earth. Home means your dwelling place, where you belong. Then if we do not belong to this earth, where is our home?


Philippians 3:20 ″But our citizenship is in heaven…”


Our true home is the Kingdom of Heaven. That is why our spirits feel like we do not belong.
We are from a beautiful place where we are always happy, joyful, and relaxed.
Why cannot we not remember such an amazing home?


Isaiah 59:2 ” But your sins have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear.”


Because of our sins, we cannot remember our home.
Therefore, we need to be forgiven of our sins.
How did God promise us that we can receive this forgiveness?


Matthew 26:19-28 “So the disciples did as Jesus had told them and prepared the Passover.’ ‘This is my blood of the covenant which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of our sins.”


Clearly God promises us forgiveness through the Passover.
World Mission Society Church of God preaches the forgiveness of sins through Passover.


Truly thanks to Christ Ahnsahnghong, second coming Christ, and Heavenly Mother for the hope of returning to our home and forgiveness of sins.

Christ Ahnsahnghong, Who Restored the Passover of the New Covenant

The Passover was abolished at the Council of Nicaea in A.D. 325. At that time, the Passover completely disappeared from the world. Who on earth can have eternal life as the truth of life was abolished? Therefore, Jesus said that He would come a second time to restore the Passover.

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.”

Ahnsahnghong restored the Passover of the new covenant that had been abolished by Satan. Then, who do you think Ahnsahnghong is?

Isa. 25:6-9 “On this mountain the LORD Almighty will prepare a feast of rich food for all peoples, a banquet of aged wine? the best of meats and the finest of wines. On this mountain he will destroy the shroud that enfolds all peoples, the sheet that covers all nations; he will swallow up death forever. The Sovereign LORD will wipe away the tears from all faces; he will remove the disgrace of his people from all the earth. The LORD has spoken. In that day they will say, “Surely this is our God; we trusted in him, and he saved us. This is the LORD, we trusted in him; let us
rejoice and be glad in his salvation.”

Ahnsahnghong, who restored the Passover of the new covenant, is the Second Coming Christ? God? who appeared in accordance with all of the prophecies of the Bible. The saints of the Early Church had cherished and celebrated the Passover of the new covenant! Christ Ahnsahnghong came in the flesh and restored the Passover so that we may be saved from the impending plagues. The Passover of the new covenant is the very gospel of Christ.

Why do we face death?(World Mission Society Church of God)

Christ Ahnsahnghong announced us the Passover that Jesus kept 2000 years ago.
The Passover is surely the teachings of the early church. But nowadays many churches doesn't keep the Passover.
Only World Mission society church of God keep the Passover.
Let's find out the origin of the Passover, promise, freedom from the sins and protection from the disasters.



All mankind has atleast 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.

Abraham's family and Mother[Christ Ahsahnghong] - World mission society Church of God

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 all
ow 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 God
First 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 al
so 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 t

o 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 Abraham

Then, 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 y
et 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 Abraha
m 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 fr
ee, 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? t
hat 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 isclear 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 t
he 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.

World mission society Church of God with Christ Ahnsahnghong - Sabbath

Christ Ahnsahnghong announced us the Sabbath that Jesus kept 2000 years ago.
The Sabbath is surely the teachings of the early church, But nowadays many churches doesn't keep the sabbath. The worship day is surely the Sabbath. Only World Mission society church of God keep the Sabbath. Let's find out the Origin, sincere meaning and blessing of the Sabbath.


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.


The Church of God, that has received the Second Coming Christ Ahnsahnghong, keeps the Sabbath on Saturday, according to the Bible. The seventh-day Sabbath is the day on which God rested from creating the heavens and the earth. Most Christians are mistaken as to what day the seventh-day Sabbath is, believing it to be Sunday, even though the Bible testifies that the Sabbath is Saturday. And they do not keep the Sabbath day, being bound to their customs, even though they realize that the Sabbath is actually Saturday.


The Bible warns us not to add or subtract even the smallest letter from the Bible.


Rev. 22:18-19 『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 Day to Commemorate God the Creator
The Sabbath day is "a memorial day honoring the Creator, who made the heavens and the earth," and is also "a day of rest." God created the heavens and the earth in six days and then rested on the seventh day from all of His work, even blessing this day
.


Gen. 2:1-3 『Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast
array. By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so
on the seventh day he rested from all his work. And God blessed the seventh
day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating
that he had done.』


In the time of Moses, God commanded His people, in the fourth commandment of the Ten Commandments, to "remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy." God explained the purpose for keeping the Sabbath by saying, "In six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy" (Ex. 20:11). The seventh day was the day that God, the Creator, had blessed and it was the day that God's people were given to commemorate God's authority. God's people, who worshiped the Creator, kept the Sabbath day as their holy day. God gave His people the Sabbath as the sign by which God would recognize them as His people (Ezek. 20:11-17; Isa. 56:1-7).


The Sabbath day is to be a day of worshiping and of offering sacrifices to God, rather than simply a day of rest. God blessed those who kept the Sabbath day and brought great punishment and disaster upon those who did not keep the Sabbath day.


Jer. 17:24-27 『"But if you are careful to obey me, declares the LORD...keep
the Sabbath day holy by not doing any work on it,...this city will be inhabited
forever.... But if you do not obey me to keep the Sabbath day holy by not
carrying any load as you come through the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath
day, then I will kindle an unquenchable fire in the gates of Jerusalem that will
consume her fortresses."』


The Sabbath Day Is Saturday
Today, we refer to the days of the week as 'Sundaay, Monday, Tuesday,' and no longer 'the first day, the second day, the third day.' Our present-day system was developed in Rome where people decided to call the first day of the week 'Sunday,' the second day 'Monday,' the third day 'Tuesday,' and the seventh day 'Saturday.'


1) A calendar week has seven days; Sunday is the first day and Saturday is
the seventh day.


2) Think about the word. "Weekend." Which day does the 'end' of the 'week'
indicate?


3) Even in the dictionary, Sunday is defined as 'the first day of the week,' and
Saturday as 'the seventh day of the week.'


4) The Bible also testifies that the seventh day, the Sabbath day, is
Saturday.


Mark 16:9 When Jesus rose early on the first day of the week...


Jesus resurrected on the first day of the week. No one argues that Jesus resurrected on Sunday-the 'first day of the week'-which is why all Christians now celebrate Resurrection Day on Sunday. In the Good News Bible, this verse is written, 'After Jesus rose from death early on Sunday...'


Since the first day of the week is Sunday, what day is the seventh day? Through the Bible, we can confirm that the Sabbath day is Saturday.


Jesus and His Apostles Kept the Sabbath
The Old Testament is a shadow and a copy of the New Testament. Thus, the law of the Old Testament was a shadow of the good things that were to come in the New Testament times (Heb. 10:1). 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 were to keep the Sabbath day was changed; however, the day the Sabbath was to be commemorated was never changed. (In the Old Testament times, God's people offered burnt offerings and could not even kindle a fire in their houses, while in New Testament times, people worshipped God in spirit and in truth.) 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.


The Sabbath Was Changed to Sunday
After the apostles died, Christianity spread to western regions, including Rome. The gospel was preached to sun-god worshipers, and in the early 4th century, even the Roman emperor had heard the message of Christ. The emperor happened to be a leader of the sun-god worshipers, and when he converted to Christianity, many sun-god worshipers began to attend Church. As time passed, the faith of the Christians weakened, and they began to accept the customs of the sun-god worshipers. During this turn-over, they even began to rest and to worship on the first day of the week [Sunday]. In A.D. 321, Constantine, a Roman emperor, decreed an edict:


"All judges, city-people and craftsmen shall rest on the venerable day of the Sun."


Some argue that the abolishment of the Sabbath compelled many people to convert to Christianity, but we must not forget that altering God's commandments was Satan's scheme. Satan, the devil, opposes God and has historically harassed God's people, using various methods.


He tried to destroy the Church of God through severe persecution. But, taking a close look at history, the more that God's people were persecuted, the more that they depended on God. When Satan changed his methods of persecution, however, and praised the Church, he tempted the Christians to combine their faiths together. They were given back the properties that had been taken from them, ministers were exempted from military service, and the Church was even given the right to emancipate slaves. Through all of these outwardly positive changes to the Church, the Christians unwittingly fell into Satan's schemes and knelt down before him. They turned their backs away from God, like an ignorant bear who doesn't realize that his gallbladder is going to be stolen, only focusing on the sweet candy he is being tempted with.


God clearly said that only he who does the will of God can enter the kingdom of heaven (Matt. 7:21-23). Which day should we worship God to please Him, Sunday which most people keep, or the Sabbath, Saturday, which God commanded His people to keep? It is unnecessary to reveal the answer, because the Sabbath day is clearly Saturday.


The Church of God Established by God
The Church of God, established by God, does not follow man-made rules, only God's laws. They recognize that no one is able to give salvation except God, the Creator of the heavens and the earth. Jesus already revealed that those who follow the laws of men cannot be saved.


Mark 7:6-9 『He [Jesus] replied, "Isaiah was right when he prophesied about
you hypocrites; as it is written: "'These people honor me with their lips, but
their hearts are far from me. They worship me in vain; their teachings are but
rules taught by men.' You have let go of the commands of God and are
holding on to the traditions of men." And he said to them: "You have a fine
way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe your own
traditions!"』


The Church of God was established on the foundation of the apostles who followed the teachings of Jesus Christ, and it has not changed since its inception. The true Church follows the laws which Jesus and the apostles observed.


No matter how many members a church has, if the church has different doctrines than those of Jesus Christ, it could not have originated from Jesus. We keep the Sabbath day?the memorial day of the Creator?not observing the law of the Old Testament, but following the law of the new covenant which Jesus and the apostles obeyed.


The saints, who will be saved on the last day, the day of God's judgment, are those who follow in Jesus' footsteps. The Sabbath day, one of Christ's footmarks, is a very precious commandment of God.

Trinity - World mission society Church of God with Christ Ahnsahnghong



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 concept of "Trinity" means that God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are not different entities, but are one God. The Trinity-God the Father [Jehovah], God the Son [Jesus], and God the Holy Spirit [Ahnsahnghong]-are one. In order to understand why the members of the Church of God believe in Christ Ahnsahnghong as the Holy Spirit, please study the truths of "the Second Coming Christ."


To better understand the Trinity, let’s first consider the transformation of water. Water is a liquid, but when its temperature falls below 0° C, the water will turn into ice, a solid. When the water is boiled, it turns into vapor, a gas. Water, ice, and vapor have different names and different forms, but their substance is the same: H₂O.


It is similar to when an actor in a monodrama plays three different characters-a father, a son, and a grandson-all having different voices. Although there are three different voices and three different roles, there is only one actor.


Like this, even though God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit may look different, have different names, and have appeared during different ages, the three are one God. The Trinity reveals that God administrates His salvation work while playing three roles.


For six thousand years God has carried out His salvation work in the names of Jehovah, Jesus, and Ahnsahnghong, each according to its age.


God the Father, Jehovah = God the Son, Jesus


Let’s confirm that God the Father, Jehovah, and God the Son, Jesus, are one God.


Isaiah prophesied about Jesus as follows:


Isa. 9:6 『For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government
will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty
God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.』


Jesus is referred to as the "Son," but the Bible revealed that the son would be called "Mighty God," and "Everlasting Father." Apostle Paul clearly understood that Jesus’ nature was that of God the Father, as follows:


Phil. 2:5-7 『Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who,
being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be
grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being
made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man...』


Rom. 9:5 『...Christ, who is God over all, forever praised! Amen.』


We can also confirm that God the Father, Jehovah, and God the Son, Jesus, are one God by studying the history of the Creation.


Isa. 44:24 『I am the LORD, who has made all things, who alone stretched
out the heavens, who spread out the earth by myself...』


God the Father-Jehovah-said that He had created everything by Himself, but Jesus said that it was He who had created the world.


Col. 1:16 『For by him [Jesus] all things were created...』


The Bible states that God the Father, Jehovah, created the world, but it also says that God the Son, Jesus, created the world. Therefore, God the Father [Jehovah] and God the Son [Jesus] are clearly one God.


Isa. 44:6 『"This is what the LORD says-Israel's King and Redeemer, the LORD Almighty: I am the first and I am the last...』


God the Father said, "I am the first and I am the last."


Rev. 22:13 『"I [Jesus] am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End."』


God the Son also said, "I am the First and the Last." Therefore, God the Father, Jehovah, and God the Son, Jesus, are one God.


God the Father, Jehovah = God the Holy Spirit, Ahnsahnghong


Let’s confirm that God the Father, Jehovah, and God the Holy Spirit are one God. In the Bible, there are frequent references to "the (Holy) Spirit." The Bible teaches us that God is spirit, and that God is holy. Thus, the spirit of God is holy, too. We call the spirit of God "the Holy Spirit."


John 4:24 『God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in
truth.』


Apostle Paul wrote-in the book of Corinthians-that God is the Holy Spirit.


1 Cor. 2:10-11 『...but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit. The Spirit
searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who among men knows
the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him? In the same way
no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 』


The (Holy) Spirit could search even the deep things of God (the Father), the things which no one could know. If "the Holy Spirit" and "the spirit of God" were different, how could the Holy Spirit possibly know the thoughts of God? Only the spirit of God-the Holy Spirit-knows the thoughts of God. Therefore, God the Father and the Holy Spirit are one.


2 Tim. 3:16 『All Scripture is God-breathed...』


2 Pet. 1:20-21 『Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of
Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation. For prophecy never
had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were
carried along by the Holy Spirit. 』


The Bible is "God-breathed" and it was written by the prophets, "as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit." This clearly testifies that God the Father, Jehovah, is the Holy Spirit.


The Bible = God-breathed book The Bible = A book written by prophets being carried along by the Holy Spirit Therefore the Holy Spirit is God.


Therefore, the Holy Spirit, Ahnsahnghong, and God the Father, Jehovah, are one God.


God the Son, Jesus = God the Holy Spirit, Ahnsahnghong


Let’s confirm that God the Son, Jesus, and God the Holy Spirit, Ahnsahnghong, are one God.


Isa. 9:6 『...a son ...will be called Wonderful Counselor... 』


John 14:26 『"But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send
in my name, will teach you all things..."』


The Son is the Counselor, and the Counselor is the Holy Spirit, so we can easily conclude that the Son, Jesus, is the Holy Spirit.


Therefore, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are not separate, but are one. God the Father-Jehovah, God the Son-Jesus, and God the Holy Spirit-Ahnsahnghong, are one God.


The Holy Spirit Is a Personal Being


The Holy Spirit is not a kind of energy or an electric wave. The Holy Spirit is a personal being who has feelings (Rom. 15:30), who grieves (Eph. 4:30), who speaks (Rev. 2:7), who groans (Rom. 8:26), who intercedes (Rom. 8:26), who testifies about God (John 15:26), who teaches (John 14:26), who gives commands (Rom. 8:29), who keeps us from preaching in certain places (Acts 16:6-7), who thinks (Rom. 8:27), and who has been blasphemed (Matt. 12: 31-32).


John 14:26, NASB 『"But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will
send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance
all that I said to you.』


The Holy Spirit is referred to as "He," meaning that the Holy Spirit is a personal being.


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,"』


If the Holy Spirit was not a man with character, but merely an invisible, active power-like an electric wave, or energy-how would it be possible for the Holy Spirit to have a name? The fact that the Holy Spirit has a name proves that the Holy Spirit is a man, with character.


God commanded us to be baptized in the name of the Father, the name of the Son, and the name of the Holy Spirit, because He would administrate His salvation work with three names (of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit) according to each age. By calling out the three names through which God showed His authority, God’s prophets are to baptize people and
