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.

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.

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 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.

The heavenly inheritance is given through Mother. [ Christ Ahnsahnghong , Heavenly Mother , WMSCOG ]
The history of Abraham's family shows through whom we can become God's children and inherit the kingdom of God. God has made those who are like Isaac children of promise and allowed them the blessing of eternal life. As Isaac was designated as Abraham's heir through his mother, so we can become God's heirs through our Mother and enjoy the precious blessing of eternal life.
Those who do not know Jerusalem our Mother can never become children of promise like Isaac. God said, "A son coming from your own body will be your heir." Ishmael was the first begotten son of Abraham, who was 14 years older than Isaac. Nevertheless, why didn't God accept Ishmael as Abraham's heir? Ishmael represents those who know God only as Father. However, the Bible clearly shows that there is God the Mother as well.
God has determined not to give the heavenly inheritance to those who have no part with Him. He doesn't accept the people, who believe in God the Father but do not believe in God the Mother, as His heirs. It is Mother who holds the final key. Everything on this earth is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. If we think about why God lets the physical life be given through a mother, we can understand what the divine will is.
Surely there is a reason why God establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of the earth. The history of Abraham's family shows how much Mother has suffered until She is glorified. However, it expresses just a little bit of Her suffering. Until we've received eternal life promised by God, there's been the great sacrifice of Mother, who has suffered so much for 6,000 years in order to lead Her children to heaven. Mother grants us, Her children, eternal life through Her invisible, inexpressible pains. That's why God does not rest until He makes Mother the praise of the earth. The Bible describes the scene that God's children, who have received Jerusalem Mother, nurse and are satisfied at Her comforting breasts, delighting in Her overflowing abundance, like a child.

The kingdom of heaven is for those who are thankful. [ Christ Ahnsahnghong, Heavenly Mother ,WMSCOG ]
The reason why we should be filled with thankfulness every day is because the kingdom of heaven we are going to be a place overflowing with praise and thanksgiving. Those who complain can never enter the kingdom of heaven.
Rev 4:8-9 『Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under his wings. Day and night they never stop saying: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come." Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne and who lives for ever and ever, . . .』
Rev 7:11-12 『All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying: "Amen! Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God for ever and ever. Amen!"』
In heaven, all the spiritual beings including angels always give glory, honor and thanks to God.
Thanks belong to God. So God's children, who participate in the "divine nature," must give thanks to God in all situations or circumstances.
Everyone has their own cross as Jesus said, "If anyone would come after me, he must take up his cross and follow me" (Mt 16:24). Since the crosses we take up are our shortcomings and obstacles to going to heaven, God refines us through such hardships, and is re-creating us into the heavenly people, the perfect beings, today, too.
God lavishly gives us the gifts of heaven, which we need the most as heavenly citizens (Php 3:20). Realizing that everything is a gift which God gives us to lead us to the kingdom of heaven, let us be joyful and thankful all the time. Rather than just continuously receiving a gift from God, let us also give a good gift to God our Father and God our Mother. I hope that all of you will live a life of faith, overflowing with thanksgiving, and bear at least ten fruits, so that you can offer your gifts to God and receive God's abundant blessings.

Difference between those who suffer disasters and those who receive salvation. [ Christ Ahnsahnghong, Heavenly Mother, WMSCOG ]
Each of us is a temple of the Holy Spirit where God dwells. So, we must be a temple that always serves and glorifies God, not a temple that refuses and rejects God. If God leaves us, grumbling and complaining arises and we fall into the trap of arrogance, thinking that everything is accomplished by ourselves, not by God.
Jer 13:15-17 "Hear and pay attention, do not be arrogant, for the LORD has spoken. Give glory to the LORD your God before he brings the darkness, before your feet stumble on the darkening hills. You hope for light, but he will turn it to thick darkness and change it to deep gloom. But if you do not listen, I will weep in secret because of your pride; my eyes will weep bitterly, overflowing with tears, because the LORD's flock will be taken captive."
Giving glory to God always should be our habit and our life itself. If we have the foolish thought that 'nothing can be done without me' or 'I did it myself,' the Spirit of God can never dwell in us.
All things evil, things we do not want, occur when we do not give glory to God. God fulfills every single promise in the Bible without fail. If an insufficient result is produced right now, we need to examine ourselves carefully, rather than find out the reason from God.
Rev 16:8-9 "The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and the sun was given power to scorch people with fire. They were seared by the intense heat and they cursed the name of God, who had control over these plagues, but they refused to repent and glorify him."
Those who do not give glory to God are doomed to eventually suffer disasters. Even when they suffer disasters, there is still the opportunity for them to repent of their sins and give glory to God, but they continue to blaspheme the glory of God until the last moment and bring destruction upon themselves. On the contrary, God's children receive blessings from God. John saw in revelation the children of God giving glory to Him. Let's take a look at that scene in Revelation .
Rev 19:1-10 "After this I heard what sounded like the roar of a great multitude in heaven shouting: "Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God, . . ." The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God, who was seated on the throne. And they cried: "Amen, Hallelujah!" . . . Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting: "Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns. 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. . . ." Then the angel said to me, "Write: ‘Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!' " At this I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, "Do not do it! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."
Through the above verses, we can fully understand what kind of faith the people in heaven, where we are going, possess. The spiritual beings in heaven and the people who have come to the wedding banquet of the Lamb are all giving glory to God. The angel, who showed John the vision, also taught them to worship God only. This is a teaching in the heavenly world.
Since angels have already understood it, how can those who do not give glory to God be a "royal priesthood" (Heb 2:9) with authority over the angels? We need to think about what kind of faith we have now and what result it will bring about, and should be thankful in all circumstances and give praise and glory to God forever.

Witnesses who testify to Elohim [ Christ Ahnsahnghong ,Heavenly Mother , WMSCOG ]
People in the world do not yet know Elohim our Father and Mother correctly. Unless we testify to Elohim, they will not be able to know the Bible or the power of God and will remain shrouded in misunderstanding and distrust (Mt 22:29).
There are not only God the Father but also God the Mother (Mt 6:9; Gal 4:26). We can be saved only when we believe in God the Father and God the Mother as well, who gave birth to our souls (Ge 1:26-27; Rev 22:17). Just in the Old Testament, to say nothing of the New Testament, we can find over 2,500 records about Elohim. Since the Bible testifies to Elohim not only in a few places but in over 2,500 places, how can it be a forced interpretation?
We, who know all this fact well, must testify to Elohim clearly and boldly. The truth we have is absolute and perfect. If we just preach, everybody will listen to us. Now the kingdom of heaven is very near, and the time has come when many people open their minds and repent if we preach the word of God. The Bible backs up all our testimonies, and God always renews our strength through the Holy Spirit.
2 Ti 4:1-5 『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. For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry.』
The work of an evangelist which God has entrusted to us is the duty of a witness. Giving us this important duty, God told us to perform the duty, being prepared in season and out of season. As true witnesses, we should testify to God the Father and God the Mother as well and should also let people know about the commandments that God the Father and God the Mother have given us for the salvation of all mankind. If we do that, Elohim will fill us with Their overflowing grace and blessings every day.
We must carry out the mission of God's witnesses not only in our own country but also in all other countries of the world in Asia, Africa, Oceania, South America, North America, and Europe. Let us all perform our mission as God's witnesses faithfully, so that each and every one of us can bear ten fruits. If you want more, please ask Father and Mother for more blessings and achieve the blessings of a hundred talents and even a thousand talents. Since Elohim said, "Be My witnesses in Samaria and to the ends of the earth," let us fulfill the mission of God's witnesses by diligently preaching God the Father and God the Mother.

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.

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.

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.

Punishment of those who has made the sacrifice of the cross in vain. [ Christ Ahnsahnghong, Heavenly Mother, WMSCOG ]
The sacrifice of Jesus on the cross has two meanings with regard to the law. Firstly, it abolished the old covenant. Secondly, it established the new covenant.
Then he said, "Here I am, I have come to do your will." He sets aside the first [the old covenant] to establish the second [the new covenant]. And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. (Hebrews 10:9-10)
But God found fault with the people and said: "The time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah... By calling this covenant "new," he has made the first one [the old covenant] obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear. (Hebrews 8:8-13)
The old covenant nullified by the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross is the Law of Moses. Then, what is the new covenant established by Jesus?
They left and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover... And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me." In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you. (Luke 22:13-20)
Jesus established the new covenant with the Passover bread and the Passover wine in the order of Melchizedek (Genesis 14:17-20.) Since the new covenant, the Law of Christ, was made, the old covenant, the Law of Moses, became nullified (1 Corinthians 9:20-21.) Nonetheless, it would be against God to cling to the old covenant and set it up again. Paul warned that those who do such would be cursed.
... by abolishing in his flesh the law with its commandments and regulations [the Law of Moses]. His purpose was to create in himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace, and in this one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility. (Ephesians 2:15-16)
"We who are Jews by birth and not 'Gentile sinners' know that a man is not justified by observing the law [the Law of Moses], but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by observing the law, because by observing the law no one will be justified. "If, while we seek to be justified in Christ, it becomes evident that we ourselves are sinners, does that mean that Christ promotes sin? Absolutely not! If I rebuild what I destroyed, I prove that I am a lawbreaker. For through the law I died to the law so that I might live for God. (Galatians 2:16-18)
All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law." (Galatians 3:10)
Those who rebuild the law with its commandments and regulations, or the old covenant, are under a curse. On the contrary, what about people who nullify the new covenant established through the sacrifice of Christ on the cross?
Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. How much more severely do you think a man deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God under foot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace? (Hebrews 10:28-29)
The blood of the covenant that sanctified us is the new covenant Passover established through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross.
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 26:26-28)
People who stick to the old covenant abolished by Jesus make the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross in vain and will be cursed. Likewise, people who reject the new covenant made by Jesus also make the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross in vain. They cannot escape punishment as it's written: "How much more severely do you think a man deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God under foot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?"

God came in the flesh with the message of love and salvation. [Christ Ahnsahnghong, Heavenly Mother , WMSCOG ]
God came in the flesh with the message of love and salvation
A traveler, while walking along a quiet country road, saw birds pecking at grains. They looked so cute and the traveler felt like patting their heads.
However, when he drew near to them, they flew and sat down a little ways off. Not knowing the traveler's mind, the birds feared he would harm them. Though he attempted to come near to them several times, they flew away from him each time.
So the traveler came to a conclusion that there was no way to convey his love except to become a bird.
For the same reason Christ came in the flesh. Men always feared God and fled from His presence when they saw His holiness with their own eyes. So, God had to appear as a man in the flesh to deliver His special message of love and salvation.
Ex 20:18-21 "When the people saw the thunder and lightning and heard the trumpet and saw the mountain in smoke, they trembled with fear. They stayed at a distance and said to Moses, " ... But do not have God speak to us or we will die." ...
When the ancient Israelites heard directly from God on Mount Sinai in an awesome atmosphere, they trembled with fear and asked Moses to intercede between God and them. As the birds flew away for fear of death when the traveler drew near to them with a loving heart, so the people feared they would die when God Himself proclaimed the word.
Men are afraid when they hear God's voice directly. So, our God came in the same appearance as us. God is spirit, but men are flesh; God is so awesome and dreadful to them. That's why He decided to come into the earth in the likeness of men.
Jh 1:1-14 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ... The Word [God] became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only [Jesus], who came from the Father, full of grace and truth."
Jesus, who came in the flesh, was God by nature, the One who created all things. He came as a man so that men could come near to Him. However, people who feared God when He showed His power and divinity, despised Him and held him in contempt when He became flesh. At that time, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, so-called religious leaders, did not recognize Jesus' divinity and looked upon Him as the same kind of man.
Ac 24:1-5 "Five days later the high priest Ananias went down to Caesarea with some of the elders and a lawyer named Tertullus, and they brought their charges against Paul before the governor. When Paul was called in, Tertullus presented his case before Felix: " ... We have found this man to be a troublemaker, stirring up riots among the Jews all over the world. He is a ringleader of the Nazarene sect"
In those days, religious leaders called Jesus a 'Nazarene.' The Bible vividly shows that they denounced God as a heretic, though He loved mankind and preached the good news of the kingdom of heaven to them.
Jh 10:27-33 " ... 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."
They tried to stone God, calling Him a blasphemer, saying that He was making Himself equal with God. Thus, they rejected God Him-self, so they could not receive His words precious like jewels.
John, the writer of the Gospel, recognized Jesus as God Himself who came in the flesh. However, in the eyes of the religious leaders, Christ appeared a mere man, a criminal even more brutal than a murderous robber. So they shouted to release Barabbas the robber and crucify Jesus.
Even Jesus' family and relatives, who were expected to know and understand Him better than anyone else, tried to take Him into custody.
Mk 3:20-21 ... When his family heard about this, they went to take charge of him, for they said, "He is out of his mind."
Why do you think these scenes are recorded in the Bible? We are to understand not only Jesus' divinity but also His humanity, so that we can know God rightly.

Salvation achieved through sacrifice of God the Father and Mother. [ World Mission Society Church of God ]
Salvation achieved through sacrifice of God the Father and Mother.
Satan is doomed to be tormented in the eternal fire of hell. Now, let's see where God our Mother is leading us, Her children.
Rev 22:1-5 『Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him. They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.』
God our Mother has continuously guarded and protected us, Her loving children, from every evil scheme of Satan to lead us to the way of eternal life and to ultimately raise us as the heavenly royal priesthood who will reign forever and ever. Until She has done that, spiritually Her flesh and bones have become so weak and frail. Everything good has been taken by Her children. She has given Her children all things that can help them. The six thousand year long period has been a series of such spiritual struggles. We can fully understand it even though we do not hear the explanation regarding how light and frail a woman's bone is.
Those who do not realize the love of Jerusalem our heavenly Mother cannot stand at the position of the heavenly royal priesthood. They cannot resist and overcome the power of Satan. Only when we cherish the love of Mother and put it into practice, we will be able to become "those who overcome" (Rev 3:12), just as Mother has won eternal victory.
Preaching without love is lifeless. It is only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. Only when we fill our hearts with God's holy love, we can preach sincerely and practice true love. Mother's love that works within us enables us to take care of one another, to correct someone if he or she has a wrong thought and to help another out if he or she goes astray, so that we will all be able to enter the kingdom of heaven together.
Let's share the love we have received from Mother with our brothers and sisters and with our neighbors and all people around the world, who have not received the truth yet, so that the glorious way can be opened for them all to fly into the arms of Heavenly Mother like clouds, like doves to their nests, according to the prophecy of Isaiah. As children of Mother, we should also care about many people around us with love for them, always remembering that the source of love is Heavenly Mother, and should repay Mother for the love we have received from Her. I earnestly hope that all our brothers and sisters in Zion will follow Mother wherever She leads us and give glory, praise and thanks to Her all the time.
Heavenly Father and Mother want us all to become a royal priesthood in heaven. Elohim have told us not to lose the glorious position but hold on to it, so that no one will take our crowns (Rev 3:11). Serving Heavenly Mother and receiving Mother's abundant love, let us preach the gracious love of life-the heavenly love-to all people around the world and provide the love to them as much as we can, so that we will all go to the eternal kingdom of heaven together.

Let's go to heaven together in one mind. [ Christ Ahnsahnghong, Heavenly Mother , World Mission Society Church of God ]
Now, we hear lots of glad news that our lost brothers and sisters stream to Zion to receive the truth. Besides, God speeds this gospel through the mass media. At this time, we should become in one mind and heart, always giving glory to God. Then God will help us to accomplish His will-the last Reformation, just as He helped 300 warriors defeat 135,000 Medianite soldiers, and just as He helped the Israelites cross the Red Sea even without a boat, feeding the six hundred thousand men for forty years.
Our Church of God has maintained its history until today with God's help. Though people have persecuted and slandered us in various ways, God has always helped us. They have intended to hinder the growth of our church by magnifying a trifle matter and spreading groundless rumors. However, God has made our Church known more widely and let more people know our Church as true. Now, many brothers and sisters have come to Zion where our Father dwells, into the arms of Jerusalem our Mother.
All the people in Zion are to give all glory to God, following the tradition of the Church of God. Those who always think of the glory of God cannot become evil. However, those who think of the glory of their own, are supposed to be wicked. They are self-centered and try to obtain fame and promotion even by overriding and injuring others. Their self-seeking attitude makes our society more harsh and evil. Zion is not so. It is a beautiful unified organism for the glory of God.
God has given us good conditions. Now, let's proclaim more diligently. Everything is possible if we do it for the glory of God. Believ-ing this firmly, let's perform our mission faithfully, following our Father and Mother to the end wherever They go.
Our mission is to save all souls from sin and lead them to heaven, by proclaiming the last Reformation to the ends of the earth. My loving brothers and sisters! Let's unite ourselves together for the glory of God. Instead of being envious and quarrelsome, let's be united in love, manifesting God's love not only in words, but in deed, so that we can safely arrive in heaven after we finish our journey of faith in this spiritual desert.

Difference between those who suffer disasters and those who receive salvation.[ Christ Ahnsahnghong , Heavenly Mother , WMSCOG ]
Each of us is a temple of the Holy Spirit where God dwells. So, we must be a temple that always serves and glorifies God, not a temple that refuses and rejects God. If God leaves us, grumbling and complaining arises and we fall into the trap of arrogance, thinking that everything is accomplished by ourselves, not by God.
Jer 13:15-17 "Hear and pay attention, do not be arrogant, for the LORD has spoken. Give glory to the LORD your God before he brings the darkness, before your feet stumble on the darkening hills. You hope for light, but he will turn it to thick darkness and change it to deep gloom. But if you do not listen, I will weep in secret because of your pride; my eyes will weep bitterly, overflowing with tears, because the LORD's flock will be taken captive."
Giving glory to God always should be our habit and our life itself. If we have the foolish thought that 'nothing can be done without me' or 'I did it myself,' the Spirit of God can never dwell in us.
All things evil, things we do not want, occur when we do not give glory to God. God fulfills every single promise in the Bible without fail. If an insufficient result is produced right now, we need to examine ourselves carefully, rather than find out the reason from God.
Rev 16:8-9 "The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and the sun was given power to scorch people with fire. They were seared by the intense heat and they cursed the name of God, who had control over these plagues, but they refused to repent and glorify him."
Those who do not give glory to God are doomed to eventually suffer disasters. Even when they suffer disasters, there is still the opportunity for them to repent of their sins and give glory to God, but they continue to blaspheme the glory of God until the last moment and bring destruction upon themselves. On the contrary, God's children receive blessings from God. John saw in revelation the children of God giving glory to Him. Let's take a look at that scene in Revelation .
Rev 19:1-10 "After this I heard what sounded like the roar of a great multitude in heaven shouting: "Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God, . . ." The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God, who was seated on the throne. And they cried: "Amen, Hallelujah!" . . . Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting: "Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns. 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. . . ." Then the angel said to me, "Write: ‘Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!' " At this I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, "Do not do it! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."
Through the above verses, we can fully understand what kind of faith the people in heaven, where we are going, possess. The spiritual beings in heaven and the people who have come to the wedding banquet of the Lamb are all giving glory to God. The angel, who showed John the vision, also taught them to worship God only. This is a teaching in the heavenly world.
Since angels have already understood it, how can those who do not give glory to God be a "royal priesthood" (Heb 2:9) with authority over the angels? We need to think about what kind of faith we have now and what result it will bring about, and should be thankful in all circumstances and give praise and glory to God forever.

Introduction
The Bible teaches that there is a name of the Holy Spirit for us.
In the book of Matthew 29:19, it says
“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,... "
As you might already know, the name of the Father is Jehovah. And the name of the Son is Jesus. Then, what would be the name of the holy Spirit?
It is very crucial that we should know the name of the Holy Spirit since nobody could get the salvation without knowing the name of the Holy Spirit. Now, let’s find out the name of the Holy Spirit through the Bible.
Different names in three age
The first thing we should know is that God divided three different ages of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit and continue the gospel work in different names of each age.
.
First, the name was Jehovah when God had the provision as father.
Isa. 43:11 “I, even I, am the LORD, and apart from me there is no savior.."
In the age of the Father, there was no other name to get salvation except Jehovah.
When arriving in the age of the Son, the name was Jesus.
Acts 4:11 “
He is "'the stone you builders rejected, which has become the capstone.' Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved
Jehovah could not be a name of the Savior in the age of the Son anymore, because the age of the Father had already passed by. The name of the Savior in time cannot go beyond the wall of the era.
According to the book of Acts 4:11, if he/she called the name of Jehovah in the age of the Son, no one could have got the salvation. Likewise, if he/she called the name of Jesus in the age of
the Father, the salvation would not be given to him/her. The reason is that there was no one except Jehovah as their Savior in the age of the Father as written in the book of Isaiah.
Like this, we should know that God allows us the new name whenever the new era starts.
As the age of the Holy Spirit is already closed and the age of the Son is over. Then which age are we living in now? Yes, as you might already know, now is the age of the Holy Spirit. Then,
by whose name could we receive the salvation? Is it the name of Jehovah? The name of Jesus? The answer is neither.
Salvation - only in the name of Holy Spirit in the age of the Holy Spirit
We could clearly understand through the Bible that the salvation is to be given only in the name of the Holy Spirit in the age of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, we should know the name of the Holy Spirit.
According to the book of Revelation 3:12, it says
“Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will he leave it. I will write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on him my new name..".
Here, whose name would represent my new name? According to the Revelation 3:11, “I am coming soon.” The one who is coming soon is very Jesus. Therefore, my new name represents the new name of Jesus who should come as a second time in the age of the Holy Spirit and He is very Holy Spirit
Let’s study more about it in detail next time.
Please believe in the new name of Jesus and get the salvation.
Thank you.

Why did He have to come as a Son? [ Christ Ahnsahnghong , Heavenly Mother ,WMSCOG ]
“But do not have God speak to us or we will die.”
The people of Israel cried out to Moses. They felt they could die because the words of God sounded like the great thunder and lightning and the trumpet to them.
They’re scared. When they heard the words of God from Moses who alone was able to hear the voice of God, they could follow the will of God (in the Desert of Sinai at the time of Exodus.)
“It thundered or an angel spoke to him.”
Many people heard the words of God but they said it had thundered.
But, the Apostle Paul heard the voice of God correctly and wrote: “I have glorified it, and will glorify it again.” Through John, people could listen to the words of God correctly (at Ephesus in around 90 A.D.)
Both in the time of Exodus and in around 90 A.D., people were not able to hear the voice of Almighty God. As creatures, they could not hear the words of God, which sounded like the thunder and lightning. For this reason, God came to the earth as a man in the appearance of a creature, hiding His power and glory.
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he [Jesus] will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6)
And He let God’s children know the way to salvation one by one and set examples for us. Putting Him in the shoes of the Son like us, He taught how we can follow the words of God to get salvation.
I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. (John 13:15)
Jesus set the example of ‘being baptized’ as a sign of salvation (Matthew 3:13-16.) And He also set the example of ‘keeping the Sabbath’ for us to get the blessing of rest (Luke 4:16,) and the example of ‘observing the Passover’ which promises the blessing of the forgiveness of sins (Matthew 26:19.) In addition, He asked His children as follows just before He ascended to heaven:
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. (Matthew 28:19-20)
It's the mind of God. God worried that His children might not be able to follow the way of salvation. So He carefully set examples one by one. Can you hear the words of God? “Please, follow the way I walked. Let’s go to our hometown -- the kingdom of heaven.”

Regarding the instance that He cannot die again. [ Christ Ahnsahnghong , God the Mother , WMSCOG ]
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.

Evidence of God’s children [Christ Ahnsahnghong , Heavenly Mother , WMSCOG ]
God commanded to keep the seventh day as the holy feast of God.
“Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘These are my appointed feasts, the appointed feasts of the LORD, which you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies. ” ‘There are six days when you may work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of rest, a day of sacred assembly. You are not to do any work; wherever you live, it is a Sabbath to the LORD… (Leviticus 23:2-3)
The Sabbath day is a sign between God and the children of God.
“Say to the Israelites, ‘You must observe my Sabbaths. This will be a sign between me and you [God and God's people] for the generations to come, so you may know that I am the LORD, who makes you holy. ” ‘Observe the Sabbath, because it is holy to you. Anyone who desecrates it must be put to death; whoever does any work on that day must be cut off from his people… (Exodus 31:13-14)
I [God] gave them my decrees and made known to them my laws, for the man who obeys them will live by them. Also I gave them my Sabbaths as a sign between us, so they would know that I the LORD made them holy. (Ezekiel 20:11-12)
Those who do not keep the Sabbath day profane God, which is the evidence of false prophets.
Her priests do violence to my law and profane my holy things; they do not distinguish between the holy and the common; they teach that there is no difference between the unclean and the clean; and they shut their eyes to the keeping of my Sabbaths [they ignore the Sabbath: GNT], so that I am profaned among them. (Ezekiel 22:26)
Do you have evidence that you are the children of God?

The goal of our faith is the salvation of our souls. [ Christ Ahnsahnghong , Heavenly Mother , WMSCOG ]
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 can 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)
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 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.
