Salvation is for the people of Zion who celebrate the feasts [ Christ Ahnsahnghong ,Heavenly Mother ,WMSCOG ]

God has established Zion the city of the appointed feasts and brought us into Zion. We are to offer up to our heavenly Father and Mother the sacrifice of joy, thanksgiving and praise every day.

Isa 33:20-24 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. There the LORD will be our Mighty One. It will be like a place of broad rivers and streams. No galley with oars will ride them, no mighty ship will sail them. For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; it is he who will save us. ...No one living in Zion will say, "I am ill"; and the sins of those who dwell there will be forgiven.

God forgives the sins of those who dwell in Zion, the place where they celebrate their religious festivals, and saves them. Salvation is given only to the people who keep the feasts. So God says that He will gather those who grieve about the appointed feasts and give them praise and honor among all the peoples of the earth. And He also says that those who celebrate the feasts will escape disasters but those who don't keep the feasts will suffer them.

God says that salvation comes out of Zion, the city of the appointed feasts. But the devil deceives people by saying that they don't have to keep the feasts or if they keep them they cannot be saved. We must not be deceived by such nonsense. Everything taught against God's word is nothing but a deceitful lie of the devil. God tells us to watch out for false prophets, saying that by their fruit we will recognize them (Mt 7:15-20). By their deeds against God's word, we should recognize their identity.
Let's confirm whether or not the people, who celebrate the feasts, can escape all disasters and be saved at God's appointed time.

Rev 14:1-4 Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads. ...And they sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth. These are those who did not defile themselves with women, for they kept themselves pure. They follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They were purchased from among men and offered as firstfruits to God and the Lamb.

In Zion the city of the appointed feasts are the 144,000 redeemed from the earth. In vision, the Apostle John saw the people with God in the place of the appointed feasts, rejoicing in their joy at deliverance. Salvation cannot come out of the place where there is no feast of God. Many believe that they can receive blessing and salvation even in a place without the feasts, because they lack knowledge of the Bible. However, there is no promise of heaven in such a place; what waits for them is only a curse, the punishment of hell. We are to worship God in spirit and truth only in Zion the place of God's appointed feasts, fully understanding the value of the salvation which God has granted to us.

Before long, those who celebrate the feasts of God will share in the glorious salvation, freely traveling into the universe. Let's preach this good news of salvation to all people around the world, so that they can also go to such a spacious and beautiful world together. They desire to travel to the moon one time even by spending a great deal of money-over one million dollars. Let them know that there is a free ticket not only to the moon but also to other planets such as Mars, Venus and the Bear.
We are sure of our salvation because we dwell in the spiritual Zion, the city of God's appointed feasts. Giving thanks and praise to God for giving us the feasts and the promise of eternal glory, we shall joyfully obey the good will of God.

Let's set a true goal in life. [ Christ Ahnsahnghong , Heavenly Mother , WMSCOG ]

It is important to live faithfully and diligently on this earth, but we should first have a true goal, realizing why we need to live such a faithful life. Life without a goal is meaningless. However, most people set goals in life only for things that are right in front of them, and they live their lives blindly without finding any answers to life. Many people are trying to pursue wealth and glory of the world for themselves or for their family, but unfortunately their efforts mostly end up in vain. Wealth or glory cannot be a true goal in life.

Even Alexander the Great, who is called a hero in the world, could give no other answer than "death" when he was asked what he would do after conquering everything. What about us? An even more meaningful world is waiting for us. So we must not set goals only for making a living on this earth, but for the eternal kingdom of heaven. The reason why God came to this earth is also for the salvation of human beings, and God says that saving a soul is saving the world. Let us live a truly meaningful and blessed life by leading many souls to salvation, starting with our family and neighbors. And let us please and glorify Father and Mother by bearing abundant good fruit while setting a good example for others by living our lives faithfully on this earth as well.

Elohim, who have all authority in heaven and on earth, have given us the authority to decide the future of mankind and commanded us to go. They have also given us courage by saying, "Do not be afraid; I am with you and will help you always." There are still many nations and peoples that have not heard the gospel of God yet. Let us all preach the gospel to them, so that the glorious day can quickly come when all human beings will be saved. Keeping in mind again the mission given to us in this age, let us preach the glory of the New Jerusalem to the whole world as children of Elohim, so that all mankind will be saved in the arms of Heavenly Mother and enter the eternal kingdom of heaven together.

The human future prophesied in the Bible [ Christ Ahnsahnghong , God the Mother ,WMSCOG ]

God has predicted the future of mankind in the same way through many verses of the Bible.

Zep 1:14-18『"The great day of the LORD is near?near and coming quickly. Listen! The cry on the day of the LORD will be bitter, the shouting of the warrior there. That day will be a day of wrath, a day of distress and anguish, a day of trouble and ruin, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness, a day of trumpet and battle cry against the fortified cities and against the corner towers. I will bring distress on the people and they will walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD. Their blood will be poured out like dust and their entrails like filth. Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to save them on the day of the LORD's wrath. In the fire of his jealousy the whole world will be consumed, for he will make a sudden end of all who live in the earth."』

The Bible already gave a warning a long time ago that the day burning like a furnace would come and everything would be destroyed by fire (Mal 4:1-3; 2 Pe 3:8-13). As that day was approaching, Jesus gave His disciples the mission of the fishers of men to save all human beings, and in this age He has also entrusted us with the blessed mission to go to all people and to convey the hope of the eternal heavenly kingdom and the good news of salvation to them before the day of distress and anguish comes.

Zep 2:1-3『Gather together, gather together, O shameful nation, before the appointed time arrives and that day sweeps on like chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD comes upon you, before the day of the LORD's wrath comes upon you. Seek the LORD, all you humble of the land, you who do what he commands. Seek righteousness, seek humility; perhaps you will be sheltered on the day of the LORD's anger.』

We may not have much time left to save human beings, so we have to save them right now. God has entrusted us with the holy mission to lead the world to repentance and salvation before He executes the things He has warned them about. But this is not really an easy task; for most people regard the reliable prophecies of God as hypotheses and do not realize them because they have never experienced it before. Many people turn away from the hand of salvation we are extending, and some even ridicule and despise us who preach the gospel.

However, we, who have been entrusted with such a great mission, should take pity on the people of the world and go to them boldly and without fear. What would have happened to the 120,000 people in Nineveh if Jonah had disobeyed God's will and remained silent to the end? Would they have been able to know God and be saved?

It depends on us whether or not human beings can be saved; more people can be saved or not, according to how much we preach. Since God has entrusted the fate of mankind to us, we must not despise our mission.

God's word transcends preconceived ideas [ Christ Ahnsahnghong, God the Mother ,WMSCOG ]

Suppose God tells us, "Remember the fourth day by keeping it holy from now on." If we are truly God's people, we should obey His word and keep the fourth day rather than insist on the custom which we've kept until now, shouldn't we?

The Apostle Peter was blessed by fully obeying God. However, he once insisted on his own thoughts and was corrected by God for his mistaken thoughts and came to realize the will of God, as recorded in the Bible.

Acts 10:9-16 "... Peter ...fell into a trance. He saw heaven opened and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners. It contained all kinds of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles of the earth and birds of the air. Then a voice told him, "Get up, Peter. Kill and eat." "Surely not, Lord!" Peter replied. "I have never eaten anything impure or unclean." The voice spoke to him a second time, "Do not call anything impure that God has made clean." This happened three times, and immediately the sheet was taken back to heaven."

In the Old Testament times, there was a distinction between clean and unclean animals, and people were permitted to eat only clean animals (Leviticus 11). So, Peter was not eating unclean animals, but God told him to change his custom regarding food which had lasted for decades.

Then Peter insisted upon his own opinion. God told him to eat all kinds of animals, saying they were clean, but Peter said he would not eat them and only held fast to the words God had given to him before. Mentioning the matter concerning food, God wanted to teach him that the gospel should be preached not only to the Jews but also to the Gentiles. God showed Peter this vision to let him know that he should also give the Gentiles the opportunity to hear the gospel of life.

Considering the above passages of the Bible, we have to follow the will of God with an obedient faith rather than stubbornly insist on our own opinion. It is God who distinguished between clean animals and unclean ones, and it is also God who abolished the distinction between them and told us to eat them all. The Law consists of God's words. If God, who gave the Law, tells us to eat both clean and unclean animals, shouldn't we eat them? The Law is our tutor to lead us to Christ (Gal 3:24, NASB) and the way to find God. It is God's word that precedes the Law.

Peter insisted on having his own way even though God Himself told him. However, he soon came to realize the will of God and obeyed His word. We can see Peter preaching to Cornelius and his family (Acts 10:17-48) and making decisions about regulations for food in the New Testament with the apostles, saying that we may eat anything except food sacrificed to idols, blood and the meat of strangled animals (Acts 15:7-29).

Keeping in mind that as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are God's thoughts higher than our thoughts, we should follow the will of God that is as high as heaven. When God told Peter to put out into the deep water and let down the nets for a catch, it seemed pretty simple and ordinary. However, when he obeyed His words, he obtained a good outcome. We need to remember this.

I earnestly ask you all to obediently follow the Elohim Gods-the Spirit and the Bride-who go ahead of us and lead us. Father and Mother have told us, Their children, to make every effort to preach the gospel to Samaria and to the ends of the earth as Their witnesses. As God's people became the witnesses of Jehovah in the age of the Father and the witnesses of Jesus Christ in the age of the Son, so should we become the witnesses of the Elohim Gods in this age. All my brothers and sisters in Zion! Being made perfect as children of obedience, let's lead the whole world to salvation and enter the eternal kingdom of heaven together.

The mission entrusted to God's called ones. [ Christ Ahnsahnghong ,Heavenly Mother ,WMSCOG ]

Mt 4:17-22『From that time on Jesus began to preach, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near." As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. "Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men." At once they left their nets and followed him. Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, preparing their nets. Jesus called them, and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.』

Jesus called His disciples to entrust them with the future of mankind and let them carry out the mission of the apostles. It was not only Peter, Andrew, James and John who were entrusted with the future of mankind. God has entrusted the mission of the last prophets to us, who are living in the age of the Holy Spirit when the fate of human beings will finally be decided.

Mt 28:18-20『Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."』

"Preaching the truth of life and the good news about Mother the New Jerusalem" is not just to convey knowledge to people, but to let them know about the practical issues which are directly related to the future of their own soul and the future of all mankind as well.

There are three types of work in this world: the work we must do, the work we may or may not do, and the work we must not do. Preaching the gospel is the work that those who are called and sent by God must do, and it is the greatest mission in the world.

When God told Jonah to go to Nineveh and tell them to repent, he felt afraid at first but he finally carried out the mission and saved many people in the city of Nineveh, so their future could be bright (Jnh 3:1-10). In this age, we are preaching the gospel to Samaria and to the ends of the earth; we are carrying out the same kind of mission as Jonah's.

We are entrusted not only with the mission of preaching but also with the fate of the world. Since this great mission is put into our hands, the future of humankind will be bleak if we remain silent, but it will be bright with the light of God's glory if we display the glory of Father and Mother and shout it out loud. We should ask God for the blessings and power of the Holy Spirit every day so that the gospel will be preached to all countries and regions of the world.

The most important person in the world to me? [ Christ Ahnsahnghong ,Heavenly Mother ,WMSCOG ]

Who, then, is the most important person in the world to me? It is the person who is in front of me now, whom I have to save. For God has let that soul be here with me in order to take him or her to heaven together through me, and to make it serve as a test of my faith.

That person may be my husband or wife, my parents or child, my brother or sister, my relative or neighbor or friend. Giving God's love to him or her and saving his or her soul?this is the most important thing to do.

Now there are many bleeding souls around us who will die if they are left alone. We must not be indifferent to them. God has never forsaken such poor souls.

Lk 19:10『"For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost."』

God came to this earth to save mankind. There is no greater love than this. So, God has given us the mission of preaching the gospel, following in His footsteps, so that we may learn what true love is.
Preaching begins from the mindset of caring for others. If we do not care about others' salvation but give ourselves over to indolence, being self-centered and caring about "what others think of me," we are unable to bear the fruit of the gospel.

People say that he who only thinks of himself is an unhappy person, and that he who thinks not only of himself but also of others is a happy person. To a short-sighted person, it seems that sacrificing for others is a loss to him. However, if we think about it more deeply, we will realize that through our self-sacrificing efforts for others we will be loved and blessed by God and also be changed as the men of God, who are praised and honored by people while living in the world.

Let us lead many souls to the truth of life by obeying the will of God more faithfully. The most proper time is right now, and the most important person is the one who is in front of me right now.

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.

The most important thing in the world. [ Christ Ahnsahnghong ,Heavenly Mother , WMSCOG ]

Saving the one who is in front of me right now, whoever the person is, is the most important thing in the world. If we give love and kindness to the one who is in front of me now?the most important person to me?and lead him or her to salvation and fill his or her heart with an eternal hope for heaven, there is no greater and more beautiful love than this in the world.

To put it plainly, it is "preaching"?the task of saving the souls, who are dying due to sin, through God's words of life. To seek and save the lost, God, who is the King of kings and Lord of lords, came to this earth.

Now we have been entrusted with the most important task which the Most Holy One did when He came to this earth. Not everyone has been given this precious task; God has entrusted it only to those whom He approves and loves (1 Th 2:4).

Though it may be difficult to save one soul by giving God's love to him, it is the most valuable thing. So Apostle Paul considered it to be the noblest thing and said he was in chains for that work (Phil 3:8; Eph 6:20). Like him, we should put our hearts and minds into the work of saving mankind which our Father and Mother have been doing, so They will be greatly pleased.

2 Ti 4:1-8, 17-18『In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge: Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage?with great patience and careful instruction . . . But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry. For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time has come for my departure. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day?and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing . . . But the Lord stood at my side and gave me strength, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it . . .』

To be prepared in season and out of season means to do it right now. The Bible teaches that now is the most suitable time and we should always do the work of an evangelist and discharge all the duties of our ministry. This is the most meaningful and worthwhile work in the world.

Think of Apostle Paul who looked forward to the crown of righteousness at the end of his life without any regret and ran into the arms of God! What a wonderful life! Like Paul, we too should live such a wonderful life. Everything in the world is transient, but the things of the kingdom of God are eternal. Thinking of the everlasting joy in the eternal world, let us keep our faith and fulfill our duties as evangelists.
