Now and days, there are many festivals which are kept around the world, which people observe. One of the most prominent and popular festivals which is kept every year, is a festival which is called Christmas. Christmas is held on December 25 each year, and said to be the birthday of Jesus Christ. Christians and Catholics now hold to this tradition faithfully each year and commemorate it, by giving gifts to their children and holding worship services at various churches. But today we will see that Christmas is not something that is Christian related but rather pagan related and has nothing to do with Jesus Christ at all.

            When we look in the bible there is no evidence scripturally or secularly that early Christians in the first century commemorated the birth of Jesus Christ. In fact, in keeping with early Jewish law and tradition, it is likely that birthdays were not commemorated at all. According to The World Book Encyclopedia: “Early Christians considered the celebration of anyone’s birth to be a pagan custom.” Rather than commemorating his birth, the only command Jesus gave concerning any sort of commemoration of his life actually had only to do with his death. It was not until several hundred years after the death of Jesus Christ that the first instances of the celebration of Christmas begin to appear in the historical record. According to the new Encyclopedia Britannica, some who later claimed to be Christian likely “wished the date to coincide with the pagan Roman festival marking the ‘birthday of the unconquered sun’.” Dies Natalis Solis Invicti means “the birthday of the unconquered Sun.” The use of the title Sol Invictus allowed several solar deities to be worshipped collectively, including Elah-Gabal, a Syrian sun god; Sol, the god of Emperor Aurelian; and Mithras, a soldiers’ god of Persian origin. Emperor Elagabalus (218–222) introduced the festival, and it reached the height of its popularity under Aurelian, who promoted it as an empire-wide holiday. This day had previously been dedicated to Bacchus, in the Brumalia festival. Bruma being latin for “shortest day.” The festival was placed on the date of the solstice because this was on this day that the Sun reversed its southward retreat and proved itself to be “unconquered.” Several early Christian writers connected the rebirth of the sun to the birth of Jesus. “O, how wonderfully acted Providence that on that day on which that Sun was born…Christ should be born”, Cyprian wrote. John Chrysostom also commented on the connection: “They call it the ‘Birthday of the Unconquered’. Who indeed is so unconquered as Our Lord. The festival was celebrated with similar customs (gift giving, feasting) that are done to celebrate Christmas today. Also winter festivals were the most popular festival of the year in many cultures. Reasons included the fact that less agricultural work needs to be done during the winter, as well as an expectation of better weather as spring approached. Modern Christmas customs include: gift-giving and merrymaking from Roman Saturnalia; greenery, lights, and charity from the Roman New Year; and Yule logs and various foods from Germanic feasts. Pagan Scandinavia celebrated a winter festival called Yule, held in the late December to early January period. As Northern Europe was the last part to Christianize, its pagan traditions had a major influence on Christmas. Scandinavians still call Christmas Jul. In English, the word Yule is synonymous with Christmas, a usage first recorded in 900. Around AD 200, Clement of Alexandria wrote that a group in Egypt celebrated the nativity on Pachon 25. This corresponds to May 20. Tertullian does not mention Christmas as a major feast day in the Church of Roman Africa. In 245, the theologian Origen of Alexandria stated that, “only sinners (like Pharaoh and Herod)” celebrated their birthdays.  In 303, Christian writer Arnobius ridiculed the idea of celebrating the birthdays of gods, which suggests that Christmas was not yet a feast at this time.

Over time this festival has changed and evolved to what it is today, but when we look at history we can see that this festival has nothing to do with Christ and everything to do with paganism, if we take part in this festival we will be receiving this satanic teaching and in God’s viewpoint we can be considered to be a cult, Revelation 12:9, “The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray…,” and 1 Corinthians 10:20, “No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God, and I do not want you to be participants with demons. No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God, and I do not want you to be participants with demons.” Even though many people may say it’s ok to keep this tradition, we can see through history and God’s viewpoint that this celebration is detestable, Jeremiah 13:23, “Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard its spots? Neither can you do good who are accustomed to doing evil,” Proverbs 16:25, “There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death,” Amos 5:21-23, “I hate, I despise your religious feasts; I cannot stand your assemblies. Even though you bring me burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them. Though you bring choice fellowship offerings, I will have no regard for them. Away with the noise of your songs! I will not listen to the music of your harps,” Isaiah 1:14, “Your New Moon festivals and your appointed feasts my soul hates. They have become a burden to me; I am weary of bearing them,” Amos 8:9-10, “In that day, declares the Sovereign Lord, I will make the sun go down at noon and darken the earth in broad daylight. I will turn your religious feasts into mourning and all your singing into weeping. I will make all of you wear sackcloth and shave your heads. I will make that time like mourning for an only son and the end of it like a bitter day.” Even though every year all peoples keep Christmas and consider they’re self to very wise, God’s looks down at them and consider them to very foolish people, Jeremiah 10:3-5 (NKJV), “For the customs of the peoples are futile; for one cuts a tree from the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the ax. They decorate it with silver and gold; they fasten it with nails and hammers. So that it will not topple. They are upright, like a palm tree, and they cannot speak; they must be carried, because they cannot go by themselves. Do not be afraid of them, for they cannot do evil, nor can they do any good,” Ezekiel 8:16-18, “He then brought me into the inner court of the house of the Lord, and there at the entrance to the temple, between the portico and the altar, were about twenty-five men. With their backs toward the temple of the Lord and their faces toward the east, they were bowing down to the sun in the east. He said to me, have you seen this, son of man? Is it a trivial matter for the house of Judah to do the detestable things they are doing here? Must they also fill the land with violence and continually provoke me to anger? Look at them putting the branch to their nose! Therefore I will deal with them in anger; I will not look on them with pity or spare them. Although they shout in my ears, I will not listen to them,” Jeremiah 10:8, “They are all senseless and foolish; they are taught by worthless wooden idols, and Jeremiah 8:2, “They will be expose to the sun and the moon and all stars of the heavens, which hey have loved and served and which they have followed and consulted and worshiped. They will not be gather up or buried, but will be like refuse lying on the ground.”

I will truly like to thank Father Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother Jerusalem for opening up my eyes so that I may not take part in this pagan festival of Christmas, which leads the whole world astray.

When we look at the plants and the animals of this world, whether it be the creatures in the ocean or on the land or in the sky, we can see that God has created everything to be beautiful, Jeremiah 10:12-13, “But God made the earth by his power; he founded the world by his wisdom and stretched out the heavens by his understanding. When he thunders, the waters in the heavens roar; he makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth. He sends lightning with the rain and brings out the wind from his storehouses,” and Proverbs 3:19-20, “By wisdom the Lord laid the earth’s foundations, by understanding he set the heavens in place; by his knowledge the deeps were divided, and the clouds let drop the dew.” We also can understand that God doesn’t create things without any purpose but does all things with a purpose. Then in looking at the creatures lets try to find out why did God create every creature to a family system (Father, Mother, Children).

            In reading some verses in the bible we can see that the very reason why God created this system was to reveal something about himself, Revelation 4:11, “You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being,” Romans 1:19-20, “Since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse,” and Hebrews 8:5, “They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven…” Since every living creature has father, mother and children, we can clearly understand that this same rule applies spiritually.

            2,000 years ago, Jesus Christ came to this earth and compared the kingdom of heaven to a house and told us to call God our Father which automatically makes us children, John 14:1-2, “Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you,” Matthew 6:9, “This, then, is how you should pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,” Hebrews 12:9, “Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of our spirits and live,” and 1 John 3:1, “How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.” When we look at this spiritually family, the only piece that is missing is our Mother. In Galatians 4:26, Apostle confirms to us that there is a heavenly Mother as well, “But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.” Through all creation, God has already showed us about our spiritually family, so that we may know who true God is, Job 12:7-12, “But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds of the air, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish of the sea inform you. Which of all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this? In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind. Does not the ear test words as the tongue tastes food? Is not wisdom found among the aged? Does not long life bring understanding?.” Our heavenly Mother Jerusalem is the wisdom (Proverbs 3:13-18) found among the us and she is long life that gives understanding, Ephesians 6:2-3, “Honor your father and mother—which is the first commandment with a promise—that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.”   

I will truly like to thank Heavenly Mother Jerusalem for allowing me to know that she exist so that I may receive the promise of eternal life through her.

One of the main reason for believe in God is to receive salvation. When we read the bible we can find that baptism actually plays a major role in coming to Christ to be saved. 2000 years ago, John the Baptist first came preaching about baptism which would prepare the people for the coming of the Messiah, Matthew 3:4-6, 11, “John’s clothes were made of camel’s hair, and he had a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey. People went out to him from Jerusalem and all Judea and the whole region of the Jordan. Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River… I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me will come one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not fit to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.” And also when Jesus Christ came, the one who fulfilled the prophesy of the coming of the Messiah, he also preached about baptism. Then we must understand first of all why must we be baptized and also what is a true baptism?

            In looking at various scriptures we can start to understand the purpose of baptism and what does it represents. In the old testament, when Moses lead the Israelites out of the land of Egypt. The people were lead by God through the desert to the Red Sea. Once at the Red Sea, there was no where to go, so God split the Red Sea, so that his people may go through and come up out of the sea on the other side, Exodus 14:29, “.” God in the bible also related this story of the Israelites coming out of the Red sea and having new life, to baptism, as it is written 1 Corinthians 10:1-2, “For I do not want you to be ignorant of the fact, brothers, that our forefathers were all under the cloud and that they all passed through the sea. They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea.” God continues to compare Jesus resurrection also with baptism, 1 Peter 3:21-22, “and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also—not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a good conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has gone into heaven and is at God’s right hand—with angels, authorities and powers in submission to him,” and Romans 6:3-4, “Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.” Then through baptism we receive new life, just like when a child is born they receive new life, but let’s continue to read and find out the other blessings that come from baptism. Through baptism we receive forgiveness of sins and the power of the Holy Spirit which enables us to come to understand about Christ, Acts 2:38, “Peter replied, Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit,” and Luke 7:29-30, “All the people, even the tax collectors, when they heard Jesus’ words, acknowledged that God’s way was right, because they had been baptized by John. But the Pharisees and experts in the law rejected God’s purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.” Then we must now understand how to be truly baptized?

            In reading the book of Matthew, Jesus charged his disciples to baptize in three names, Matthew 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.” Then we know the name of the Father which is Jehovah, and the name of the Son which is Jesus Christ, but the greatest mystery of all is the name of the Holy Spirit. 2,000 years they lived in the age of the Son and only need to baptize the people in the Jesus name, but now we live in the Holy spirit age and the bible clearly tells us that he will have a new name, Isaiah 52:6, “Therefore my people will know my name; therefore in that day they will know that it is I who foretold it. Yes, it is I,” and Revelation 3:11-12, “I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown. 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.” Just like the people receive forgiveness of sins by being baptized in the name of Jesus, we will also receive forgiveness of sins by being baptized in the new name of the Holy spirit, 1 John 2:12, “I write to you, dear children, because your sins have been forgiven on account of his name.” But many churches don’t even acknowledge that there is a name of the Holy Spirit and fail to realize that being baptized in the name of Jesus, is not enough, but that we must be baptized in the new name also, just like John Baptist baptism was only good until Jesus appeared, Acts 19:1-6, “While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul took the road through the interior and arrived at Ephesus. There he found some disciples and asked them, did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed? They answered, No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit. So Paul asked, then what baptism did you receive? John’s baptism, they replied. Paul said, John’s baptism was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the one coming after him, that is, in Jesus. On hearing this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus. When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied.”            

            I will truly like to thank Father Ahnsahnghong for allowing me to be baptized in the new name of  the Holy spirit, so that I may receive salvation and not be condemned, with the rest of the false Christian who proclaim to know Jesus, but never received true baptism, Mark 16:16, “Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned,” James 4:17, “Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn’t do it, sins,” and Matthew 7:21-23, “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!.”

In reading the book of proverbs we can find many intelligent sayings as we read from chapter to chapter. One of the key words that constantly keep reappearing is the word wisdom. God speaks about it as being something very important and not only that if we receive wisdom it can save us from going down to the depths of hell, as it states Proverbs 2:12-19, “Wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked men, from men whose words are perverse, who leave the straight paths to walk in dark ways, who delight in doing wrong and rejoice in the perverseness of evil, whose paths are crooked and who are devious in their ways. It will save you also from the adulteress, from the wayward wife with her seductive words, who has left the partner of her youth and ignored the covenant she made before God. For her house leads down to death and her paths to the spirits of the dead. None who go to her return or attain the paths of life,” and Proverbs 5:1-14, “My son, pay attention to my wisdom, listen well to my words of insight, that you may maintain discretion and your lips may preserve knowledge. For the lips of an adulteress drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil; but in the end she is bitter as gall, sharp as a double-edged sword. Her feet go down to death; her steps lead straight to the grave. She gives no thought to the way of life; her paths are crooked, but she knows it not. Now then, my sons, listen to me; do not turn aside from what I say. Keep to a path far from her, do not go near the door of her house, lest you give your best strength to others and your years to one who is cruel, lest strangers feast on your wealth and your toil enrich another man’s house. At the end of your life you will groan, when your flesh and body are spent. You will say, “How I hated discipline! How my heart spurned correction! I would not obey my teachers or listen to my instructors. I have come to the brink of utter ruin in the midst of the whole assembly.”

            Then we must find out through the scriptures who is this spiritual adulteress woman that we must stay away from and who or what is this wisdom that we must receive? In reading the book of Revelation we can see that this adulteress woman represents who the Babylonian teachings in the world, which instead of being faithful to the Jesus they are following a Jesus, which kept Sunday worship, communion, and Christmas, 2 Corinthians 11:2-4, “I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband, to Christ, so that I might present you as a pure virgin to him. But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ. For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it easily enough,” and Revelation 17:1-5, “One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, Come, I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits on many waters. With her the kings of the earth committed adultery and the inhabitants of the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her adulteries. Then the angel carried me away in the Spirit into a desert. There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns. The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls. She held a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries…..” In the book of Proverbs we can also find the answer to who is this wisdom that we must find, Proverbs 3:13-18, “Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gains understanding, for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold….. She is a tree of life to those who embrace her; those who lay hold of her will be blessed.” Our Mother is the reality of the tree of life that we must receive in order to have eternal life, Genesis 3:22-24, “And the Lord God said, the man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever. So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life,” Psalms 99:1, “The Lord reigns, let the nations tremble; he sits enthroned between the cherubim, let the earth shake,” and Isaiah 52:2, “Shake off your dust; rise up, sit enthroned, O Jerusalem. Free yourself from the chains on your neck, O captive Daughter of Zion.”

In order to be protected in these last days from the adulteress woman (false churches) we must receive (believe-John 1:12) in our heavenly mother Jerusalem, otherwise if we fail to do this we will fall victim to all the Babylonian teachings of the world, Proverbs 7:6-27, “At the window of my house I looked out through the lattice. I saw among the simple, I noticed among the young men, a youth who lacked judgment. He was going down the street near her corner, walking along in the direction of her house at twilight, as the day was fading, as the dark of night set in. Then out came a woman to meet him, dressed like a prostitute and with crafty intent. (She is loud and defiant, her feet never stay at home; now in the street, now in the squares, at every corner she lurks.) She took hold of him and kissed him and with a brazen face she said: I have fellowship offerings at home; today I fulfilled my vows. So I came out to meet you; I looked for you and have found you! I have covered my bed with colored linens from Egypt. I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes and cinnamon. Come, let’s drink deep of love till morning; let’s enjoy ourselves with love! My husband is not at home; he has gone on a long journey. He took his purse filled with money and will not be home till full moon. With persuasive words she led him astray; she seduced him with her smooth talk. All at once he followed her like an ox going to the slaughter, like a deer stepping into a noose till an arrow pierces his liver, like a bird darting into a snare, little knowing it will cost him his life. Now then, my sons, listen to me; pay attention to what I say. Do not let your heart turn to her ways or stray into her paths. Many are the victims she has brought down; her slain are a mighty throng. Her house is a highway to the grave, leading down to the chambers of death.”

As we know the bible is consider not being any ordinary book, but is actually consider a book of prophecy. Even when we look at one of the first books written, which is the book of Genesis, we can see that God foretold about the Israelites suffering in Egypt many years before it ever took place, Genesis 15:14-16, “But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will come out with great possessions. You, however, will go to your fathers in peace and be buried at a good old age. In the fourth generation your descendants will come back here, for the sin of the Amorites has not yet reached its full measure.” And when we look at the book of Exodus we can see the fulfillment of this prophesy, Exodus 12:40-42, “Now the length of time the Israelite people lived in Egypt was 430 years. At the end of the 430 years, to the very day, all the Lord’s divisions left Egypt. Because the Lord kept vigil that night to bring them out of Egypt, on this night all the Israelites are to keep vigil to honor the Lord for the generations to come.”

When we look at the physical Israelites we can see they were in slavery at that time, the same situation is occurring to the children of God now. When read the bible it states that this whole world is under control of Satan, 1 John 5:19, “We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one,” John 8:44, “You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.” And because the whole world is being lead astray by Satan we are all a slave to sin and death, John 8:34, “Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave to sin,” and Romans 6:23, “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” In reading these verses we can easily understand that this world represents spiritual Egypt, Revelation 11:8, “Their bodies will lie in the street of the great city, which is figuratively called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.” Then the question how can we be released from this bondage?

In looking at the physical Israelites story, God Almighty is the one who released the children through the Passover festival, Exodus 13:9-10, “This observance (Passover) will be for you like a sign on your hand and a reminder on your forehead that the law of the Lord is to be on your lips. For the Lord brought you out of Egypt with his mighty hand. You must keep this ordinance at the appointed time year after year.” Then in the same way Jesus Christ released us from our spiritual bondage as well with the same Passover festival, John 8:36, “So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed,” John 10:10, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full,” and Luke 4:17-18, “The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written: The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed.” Only through the Passover, in Egypt, were the people able to be protected from the last disaster and it’s the same now. God already prophesied that many disasters will come upon this earth, Then unless we receive the eternal gospel of Passover we can never be protected and freed from the spiritual Egypt, Revelation 14:6-8, “Then I saw another angel flying in midair, and he had the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth—to every nation, tribe, language and people. He said in a loud voice, Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heavens, the earth, the sea and the springs of water.” A second angel followed and said, Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great, which made all the nations drink the maddening wine of her adulteries.”

I will truly like to thank Father Ahnsahnghong for coming as 2^nd coming Christ and reestablishing the Passover festival, just like he did 2,000 years ago, so that we may be protected and receive true life, Hebrews 13:8, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.”

When we read the bible, we can find many verses that compare God’s children as being warriors, especially in these last days. A warrior is a fighter who never gives up and is trained thoroughly to fight in combat, regardless of how he feels or thinks. A warrior does not dread anyone or anything, but is always ready to lay down his life in the fight, and would rather die in battle then to flee like a coward. In looking at the physically attributes of a warrior, we can understand that God’s children should be the same way, in this spiritual fight against Satan, 1 peter 5:8, “Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.”

Then if we are true warriors there should also be armor that we should wear, then the question is what is the armor of God that we should put on? In reading the book of Ephesians we can see that God starts to speak about putting on the full armor of God, Ephesians 6:10-14, “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place.” In the previous verse God starts to speak about the pieces of armor, but among all the armor, today let’s try to understand one of the most important pieces which is the breastplate. Without this material, a warrior can easily be injured and without a breastplate on his chest, he can easily be killed with the sword. Then we must understand first of all what is the spiritual breastplate that we must wear and what does it look like? When we read the book of Exodus, God goes in great detail in describing how the breastplate looks and how did it help the priest at that time, Exodus 28:15-21, “Fashion a breastpiece for making decisions—the work of a skilled craftsman. Make it like the ephod: of gold, and of blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and of finely twisted linen. It is to be square—a span long and a span wide—and folded double. Then mount four rows of precious stones on it. In the first row there shall be a ruby, a topaz and a beryl; in the second row a turquoise, a sapphire and an emerald; in the third row a jacinth, an agate and an amethyst; in the fourth row a chrysolite, an onyx and a jasper. Mount them in gold filigree settings. There are to be twelve stones, one for each of the names of the sons of Israel, each engraved like a seal with the name of one of the twelve tribes,” and Exodus 28:29-30, “Whenever Aaron enters the Holy Place, he will bear the names of the sons of Israel over his heart on the breastpiece of decision as a continuing memorial before the Lord. Also put the Urim and the Thummim in the breastpiece, so they may be over Aaron’s heart whenever he enters the presence of the Lord. Thus Aaron will always bear the means of making decisions for the Israelites over his heart before the Lord.” Then we can see that the breastplate at that time was not only used to protect warriors in battle, but also used to make very important decisions in Israel. Then we can see the physical characteristics of this material, but we must understand also the spiritual reality of the breastplate.

When we Revelation, God speaks about Heavenly Jerusalem containing the same jewels just like the breastplate that the priest wore over their heart, Revelation 21:9-22, “One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.” And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God. It shone with the glory of God, and its brilliance was like that of a very precious jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal….The wall was made of jasper, and the city of pure gold, as pure as glass. The foundations of the city walls were decorated with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, the fifth sardonyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst. The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of pure gold, like transparent glass. I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.” Then the reality of this breastplate of righteousness is no other then our heavenly Mother Jerusalem. When we come to think about the love and sacrifice she has for us,  all our actions become righteous and Mother Jerusalem remains in our heart, Proverbs 2:9-15, “Then you will understand what is right and just and fair—every good path. For wisdom (Mother) will enter your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul. Discretion will protect you, and understanding will guard you. Wisdom (Mother) will save you from the ways of wicked men, from men whose words are perverse, who leave the straight paths to walk in dark ways, who delight in doing wrong and rejoice in the perverseness of evil, whose paths are crooked and who are devious in their ways.” Even though many people may curse Mother Jerusalem and say all type of bad things about her, they are only bringing destruction upon themselves, Deuteronomy 32:18, “You deserted the Rock, who fathered you; you forgot the God who gave you birth,” Deuteronomy 27:16, “Cursed is the man who dishonors his father or his mother…,” Leviticus 20:9, “If anyone curses his father or mother, he must be put to death. He has cursed his father or his mother, and his blood will be on his own head,” and Exodus 21:15, 17, “Anyone who attacks his father or his mother must be put to death… Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.”

I will truly like to thank Heavenly Mother Jerusalem and Father Ahnsahnghong for allowing me to put on the full armor of God, so that I may be protected from all of Satan evil schemes in these last days.

In our life of faith we may go through many trials and tribulations, as we seek the heavenly kingdom while living in this sinful world. Sometimes we may feel sad, happy, joyful, depressed or even anger. Even though as Christians we may sometimes experience these feelings we should always have a humble mind and heart in order to return to God, because if our hearts are harden, we will be in a very dangerous situation, as it states in Proverbs 28:14, “Blessed is the man who always fears the Lord, but he who hardens his heart falls into trouble.”

           In looking at the condition of the earth we can see that many people hearts are harden already, and feel like they don’t need God. In looking at their status we may come to have pity for them, but we should not imitate their nature. God already foresaw the people minds and hearts and knew that we all were rebellious sinners who had no chance to enter heaven, Psalms 14:1-3, “The fool says in his heart, there is no God. They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good. The Lord looks down from heaven on the sons of men to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God. All have turned aside, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one,” and Psalms 10:4, “In his pride the wicked does not seek him; in all his thoughts there is no room for God.” Then even though throughout our times, many leaders have aroused to try to change people’s thought process, they have all failed, because God has already prophesied the one to do to this will be God himself. When we read the book of Ezekiel we find out that God speaks about giving us a new heart and a new spirit, which will guide us down the right path, that leads to salvation, Ezekiel 36:24-32, “For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land. I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. You will live in the land I gave your forefathers; you will be my people, and I will be your God. I will save you from all your uncleanness. I will call for the grain and make it plentiful and will not bring famine upon you. I will increase the fruit of the trees and the crops of the field, so that you will no longer suffer disgrace among the nations because of famine. Then you will remember your evil ways and wicked deeds, and you will loathe yourselves for your sins and detestable practices. I want you to know that I am not doing this for your sake, declares the Sovereign Lord. Be ashamed and disgraced for your conduct, O house of Israel.”     

         Then we must understand who is the one who has fulfilled this prophesy by giving us the Spirit to follow all of God’s laws? It is our heavenly Father Ahnsahnghong, he has come to preach about the Passover, which gives us a new spirit and a new heart, Romans 8:9, 16, “You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ…The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children,” John 6:53-56, “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. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him,” and Ezekiel 11:19-20, “I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them; I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh. Then they will follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. They will be my people, and I will be their God.”

           I will truly like to thank Father Ahnsahnghong for coming down to this earth to give us all a new heart and a new spirit which gives the strength to keep God’s commands, even though people may slander, ridicule and persecute us, Isaiah 51:7-8, “Hear me, you who know what is right, you people who have my law in your hearts: Do not fear the reproach of men or be terrified by their insults. For the moth will eat them up like a garment; the worm will devour them like wool. But my righteousness will last forever, my salvation through all generations.”

The bible describes many blessings throughout the bible that the children of God receive throughout all ages. One of the greatest blessings that one can find and some would consider unimaginable, is the blessing of being able to see God. In the time of Moses, he was able to see God and not only see God but also able to speak to him face to face, Exodus 33:11, “The Lord would speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks with his friend. Then Moses would return to the camp, but his young aide Joshua son of Nun did not leave the tent.” When we see this situation, most people now and days would consider it nearly impossible to see God, but actually in the bible God promised his children that they will see God and be taught by him, Matthew 5:1-8, “Now when he saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, and he began to teach them saying: Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God,” and Isaiah 54:13, “All your sons will be taught by the Lord, and great will be your children’s peace.” Then in order for us to truly know who God is and receive eternal life, we must be the ones who fulfill this prophesy of seeing God, John 17:3, “Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.” Then the question is what should we do in order to see God?

            In reading the book of John, God gives us the answer, on how to see God, John 14:21, “Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him.” If we obey God’s commands like Sabbath day, Passover and all the feast of God we will surely see God, who is to appear in these last days. In the bible it states that the only place where all God’s feast are being kept is in Zion, Isaiah 33:20, “Look upon Zion, the city of our festivals; your eyes will see Jerusalem, a peaceful abode, a tent that will not be moved; its stakes will never be pulled up, nor any of its ropes broken.” Then if we are to see God, we need to be in Zion, Isaiah 30:18-20, “Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; he rises to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him! O people of Zion, who live in Jerusalem, you will weep no more. How gracious he will be when you cry for help! As soon as he hears, he will answer you. Although the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, your teachers will be hidden no more; with your own eyes you will see them.” The only place where Elohim God will reveal Themselves is in Zion, which is the Church of God World Mission Society. Just like Isaiah prophesied about us seeing Heavenly Mother Jerusalem in Zion the bible testifies that 2^nd coming Christ will be seen in Zion as well, Isaiah 52:8 “Listen! Your watchmen lift up their voices; together they shout for joy. When the Lord returns to Zion, they will see it with their own eyes,” Revelation 1:7, “Look, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him; and all the peoples of the earth will mourn because of him. So shall it be! Amen,” Hebrews 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,” and Genesis 18:1-8, “The Lord appeared to Abraham near the great trees of Mamre while he was sitting at the entrance to his tent in the heat of the day. Abraham looked up and saw three men standing nearby. When he saw them, he hurried from the entrance of his tent to meet them and bowed low to the ground. He said, if I have found favor in your eyes, my lord, do not pass your servant by. Let a little water be brought, and then you may all wash your feet and rest under this tree. Let me get you something to eat, so you can be refreshed and then go on your way—now that you have come to your servant. Very well, they answered, do as you say. So Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah. Quick, he said, get three seahs of fine flour and knead it and bake some bread. Then he ran to the herd and selected a choice, tender calf and gave it to a servant, who hurried to prepare it. He then brought some curds and milk and the calf that had been prepared, and set these before them. While they ate, he stood near them under a tree.” In the time of Abraham, we can see that when God appeared in the flesh and ate with Abraham, then when 2^nd coming Christ comes, he will also appear in the flesh having hands, feet and a mouth.

           The only one who has fulfilled these prophesies is our heavenly Father Ahnsahnghong. He has brought us salvation by preaching the Passover and revealing himself to us in the flesh, so that we may know who true God is in these last days.

In this world we are all consider sinners, and because of our sinful nature we must die. For a long time it this has always been the system. Without even looking at the bible, we consider ourselves to understand this statement, because we all have a conscious, and sometimes even though we may know something is wrong, we do it anyway, which makes our conscious feel guilty. The bible confirms these previous statements through various verses, Proverbs 20:9, “Who can say, I have kept my heart pure; I am clean and without sin,” Ecclesiastes 7:20, “There is not a righteous man on earth who does what is right and never sins,” and Romans 6:23, “For the wages of sin is death….” Even though it is written that we all have face death because our sins, God gives us an answer on how to be released from our sins, which lead to deaf, John 8:32, “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” Then if we want to be free from sin, we must receive the truth, then who is the one who will bring this truth? In reading the book of John, God gives us the answer by foretelling us that when 2^nd coming Christ appears he will bring the truth, John 16:13, “But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth….” Without meeting 2^nd coming Christ teachings we will not be set free from sin and not enter kingdom of heaven.            

            Also concerning Christ coming, there is a great prophetical connection between Him and Elijah, one of the greatest prophets of the Old Testament. As the bible testifies, Elijah is to appear in the last days, Malachi 4:5, “See, I will send you the prophet Elijah before that great and dreadful day of the Lord comes.” Then what is the prophetical connection between the two? In looking at the physical Elijah we can see that when he first appeared, he was wearing a garment of hair and belt around his waist, 2 Kings 1:8, “They replied, He was a man with a garment of hair and with a leather belt around his waist. The king said, that was Elijah the Tishbite.” And also 2,000 years ago, John the Baptist also came as Elijah, preaching in the wilderness and he also had wore the same type of clothing, Matthew 3:1-4, “In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the Desert of Judea and saying, Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near. This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah: A voice of one calling in the desert, Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him. John’s clothes were made of camel’s hair, and he had a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey,” and Matthew 11:13-14, “For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John. And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come.” Then when 2^nd coming Christ comes, will he wear the same garments or does this have a spiritual meaning? The one who has fulfilled this prophesy, by coming as Elijah to preach to us in the wilderness is our Heavenly Father Ahnsahnghong. He did not wear the same garments physically, but wore the belt of truth around his waist and the garments of vengeance, Ephesians 6:14, “Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,” Isaiah 59:17, “He put on righteousness as his breastplate, and the helmet of salvation on his head; he put on the garments of vengeance and wrapped himself in zeal as in a cloak,” and Isaiah 35:1-6, “The desert and the parched land will be glad; the wilderness will rejoice and blossom. Like the crocus, it will burst into bloom; it will rejoice greatly and shout for joy. The glory of Lebanon will be given to it, the splendor of Carmel and Sharon; they will see the glory of the Lord, the splendor of our God. Strengthen the feeble hands, steady the knees that give way; say to those with fearful hearts, be strong, do not fear; your God will come, he will come with vengeance; with divine retribution he will come to save you. Then will the eyes of the blind be opened and the ears of the deaf unstopped. Then will the lame leap like a deer and the mute tongue shout for joy. Water will gush forth in the wilderness and streams in the desert.”

            I will truly like to give all thanks and praises to Christ Ahnsahnghong for revealing the truth to us in this dry wilderness so that I may be set free from sin and enter our eternal home.

As a Christian it is our duty to know and believe in the scriptures as being the word of God. While living in this world, we are to set a good example in everything that we do, as the bible teaches us and lead many to salvation. But if we do not know the scriptures, we will not be confident in our salvation, because the purpose for the scriptures is show us how to receive salvation, 2 Timothy 3:15, “and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.” There are so many prophecies written in the bible and we can also find the laws of God in there as well. If we read the bible but don’t follow what the scriptures say, we can never enter the kingdom of heaven, but if we read and faithfully follow the laws of God written within the text, they can lead us to Christ, who is the source of our salvation, Galatians 3:24, “So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith,” and Hebrews 5:8-9, “Although he was a son (Jesus), he learned obedience from what he suffered and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him.”     

Then when we read we can see that 2,000 years ago Jesus Christ was the source of salvation, then in the same way we must also understand who should we meet and go to in order for us to receive eternal life? In reading Amos 8:11-13, God speaks about the last days being a spiritual desert, which lacks spiritual water (eternal life-John 4:14), “The days are coming, declares the Sovereign Lord, when I will send a famine through the land— not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the Lord. Men will stagger from sea to sea and wander from north to east, searching for the word of the Lord, but they will not find it, In that day, the lovely young women and strong young men will faint because of thirst.” But even though it is a drought of water, he speaks about a group of people receiving the water of life, Revelation 7:16-17, “Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst… For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; he will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes,” and Isaiah 49:10, “They will neither hunger nor thirst…. He who has compassion on them will guide them and lead them beside springs of water,” and Psalms 132: 13-15, “For the Lord has chosen Zion, he has desired it for his dwelling: This is my resting place for ever and ever; here I will sit enthroned, for I have desired it-I will bless her with abundant provisions; her poor will I satisfy with food.” Then through these scriptures we could understand that only if we go to Zion we can receive this food (water of life), but we need to meet the Lamb (2^nd Christ-John 1:29) first, then he will lead us to the one who gives true food. In reading Zechariah it explains that the one who will give us life in the last days is our Mother Jerusalem (Galatians 4:26), Zechariah 14:8, “On that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem, half to the eastern sea and half to the western sea, in summer and in winter.” The only one who has fulfilled this prophesy is our heavenly Father Ahnsahnghong, he has come down to earth, to preach and lead us to our heavenly Mother Jerusalem, so that we may have life, Isaiah 62:6-7, “I have posted watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; they will never be silent day or night. You who call on the Lord, give yourselves no rest, and give him (2^nd Christ) no rest till he establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of the earth.”

At Jesus Christ first coming, we can see that he preached about salvation and after he ascended to heaven his disciples follow his example by continuing the gospel work. Just like it was at that time, it is the same now, if we are to be true children of God, we are to carry out the mission by leading many thirsty souls to our heavenly Mother Jerusalem as it states Revelation 22:17, “The Spirit and the bride say, Come! And let him who hears say, Come,” Daniel 12:3, “Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever,” Isaiah 62:1-2, “For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, for Jerusalem’s sake I will not remain quiet, till her righteousness shines out like the dawn, her salvation like a blazing torch. The nations will see your righteousness, and all kings your glory; you will be called by a new name that the mouth of the Lord will bestow,” Proverbs 12:28, “In the way of righteousness there is life; along that path is immortality,” Psalms 40:9, “I proclaim righteousness in the great assembly; I do not seal my lips, as you know, O Lord,” and Psalms 22:31, “They will proclaim his righteousness to a people yet unborn— for he has done it.” Even though now and days, many people may persecute Mother Jerusalem and say so many bad things about her, they will all soon bow down to her and acknowledge her as being true God Almighty, for she will be praised amongst the whole world, Habakkuk 2:14, “For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea,” Psalms 66:1-4, “Shout with joy to God, all the earth! Sing the glory of his name; make his praise glorious, Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds! So great is your power that your enemies cringe before you. All the earth bows down to you; they sing praise to you, they sing praise to your name,” Isaiah 11:9, “They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea,” and Matthew 24:14, “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” And on that day, all the suffering that the children went through will be no more, for she will comfort us and wipe our tears away from our eyes, Revelation 21:2-4, “I saw the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away,” and Isaiah 25:8-9, “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.”

Throughout the bible God has always made attempts to speak to his people in various ways, whether it is through a dream or speaking to them directly. When we look at the ancient history of when the Israelites were in the desert, we can see one of God’s first of attempts of trying to speak to his people, Exodus 20:18-19, “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, Speak to us yourself and we will listen. But do not have God speak to us or we will die.” In trying to speak to the people directly, it scared them so much that they felt like they were going to die rather than live. We can understand this situation better on how the people felt at that time, through a little example. Let’s say for instance you were walking down the street one day, and saw a flock of birds eating. When we see this we may think to ourselves how cute the birds must look, and maybe try to make an attempt to pet them or come near them. Even though we don’t have a bad intention to harm the birds, but unknowingly the birds will run or fly away because of fear of you. The best way a person would be able to get close to the birds is to actually become a bird. This same rule applies with God, at the time of Exodus the people felt fear from God and so for that very reason God decided that he would come in the flesh to show his love and deliver his message to his children, Deuteronomy 18:15-19, “The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own brothers. You must listen to him. For this is what you asked of the Lord your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly when you said, Let us not hear the voice of the Lord our God nor see this great fire anymore, or we will die. The Lord said to me: What they say is good. I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers; I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him. If anyone does not listen to my words that the prophet speaks in my name, I myself will call him to account,” Acts 3:20-23, “And that he may send the Christ, who has been appointed for you—even Jesus… For Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own people; you must listen to everything he tells you. Anyone who does not listen to him will be completely cut off from among his people,” and  Hebrews 2:14, “Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil.”

            2,000 years ago we can see that Jesus Christ fulfilled all prophesies about God coming in the flesh, that everyone who believes and follows him shall have eternal life (John 3:16). The purpose of God coming in the flesh was so that his people would not fear him, but rather come to him to receive forgiveness of sins, which leads to salvation, as it states John 8:10-12, “Jesus straightened up and asked her, Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you? No one, sir, she said. Then neither do I condemn you, Jesus declared. Go now and leave your life of sin.” Jesus Christ came as a light, to give life to the all his people, but even though God came in the flesh, they could not recognize him because he looked like a mere man rather than a superhero, just like a cloud (flesh-Proverbs 25:14) when it covers up the light, Isaiah 5:30, “….And if one looks at the land, he will see darkness and distress; even the light will be darkened by the clouds,” John 1:10, “He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him,” John 10:33, “We are not stoning you for any of these, replied the Jews, but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God,” and Luke 19:44, “…They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of God’s coming to you.” The way God gave life 2,000 years ago was by coming down in the flesh as Jesus Christ, in the same way, without knowing who will come down in the last days to this earth to give us life; we will not be able to enter heaven.

            In reading the book of Revelation which talks about the last days, we can see that the way we can receive eternal life is by coming to the Spirit and the Bride (Revelation 22:17). Then the question is how can we come to them and will they stay in heaven or come down to Earth in the flesh? According Colossians 2:2, we can see that Paul spoke about something being mysterious about Christ, which wasn’t revealed at that time, “My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ.” And when we read 2 Corinthians 4:4, God tells us that Christ is the image of God, “The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.” In Genesis 1:27, we can see clearly that God had 2 images one being male and the other being female, “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.” Then through these verses we can understand that the mystery of God is that, just like there is a male Christ, there should also be a female Christ, because the word Christ, actually means God in the flesh, Colossians 2:9, “For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form.” Then we already know male Christ, which is 2^nd coming Christ who is to come with a new name (Revelation 3:11-12) but lets continue to read and find out who is the female Christ who is to appear to give us life? In Revelation 21:2-3, God speaks about Jerusalem coming down out of heaven to dwell with men on Earth, “I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.” Then as we know already this spiritual Jerusalem which comes down out of heaven is our heavenly Mother (Galatians 4:26). Then when she comes down of earth how will she dwell with us? The answer lies in the book of John, whenever God comes to dwell with men, he or she comes in the flesh, looking like a normal human being, John 1:14, “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth,” and Isaiah 66:12-13, “For this is what the Lord says: I will extend peace to her like a river, and the wealth of nations like a flooding stream; you will nurse and be carried on her arm and dandled on her knees. As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you; and you will be comforted over Jerusalem.” Our heavenly Mother has come down to this earth, dwelling in Zion, taking the very form of us, having knees, arms and hands, in order so that we may understand God’s love, and receive salvation  Isaiah 49:15-16, “Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me,”  Psalms 132:13, “For the Lord has chosen Zion, he has desired it for his dwelling,” and Hebrews 12:22, “But you have come to Mount Zion, to the heavenly Jerusalem, the city of the living God.” Then in these last days if we fail to believe and follow heavenly Mother Jerusalem, we will be committing the same sin, the people committed 2,000 years ago, John 16:9, “in regard to sin, because men do not believe in me.”

         I will truly like thank heavenly Mother Jerusalem for coming down in the flesh to give us salvation. Even though people may consider her to be just a mere woman, we believe and know she is the Holy One of God, John 6:66-68, “From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him. You do not want to leave too, do you?” Jesus asked the Twelve. Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life,” and Micah 4:2, “….He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths. The law will go out from Zion, the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.”

Now and days most Christians read the bible and take it very seriously as a book of prophecy. One of the biggest concerns that Christians have in reading a pieces of scriptures, is to take verses out of context. If we consider ourselves to be a Christian and think this way we have to be very careful, because instead of seeing the bible as a prophetic book, we would just be looking at the bible just like any regular book. When we read novels and try to understand a sentence without looking at the whole chapter we may misinterpret the sentence, if we try to make up some theory of what the writer is talking about in that particular sentence. But with the bible this same rule does not always apply, because even though we made read about things happening in the past, those stories are actually prophecies, as it written Ecclesiastes 3:15, “Whatever is has already been, and what will be has been before; and God will call the past to account,” Romans 15:4, “For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope,” Hebrews 10:1, “The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming—not the realities themselves..,” Colossians 2:17, “These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ,” 1 Corinthians 10:11, “These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the fulfillment of the ages has come,” and Revelation 1:3, “Blessed is the one who reads the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near.” Of course it is ok for us to read in context, when we are trying to understand the story, but when it comes to learning about prophecy, there is a different way that we must read the bible.

      In looking at the early church and how the Apostles taught at that time, we can understand what is the correct way to teach from the bible, Romans 9:25-29, “As he says in Hosea: I will call them ‘my people’ who are not my people; and I will call her ‘my loved one’ who is not my loved one (Hosea 2:23), and It will happen that in the very place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ they will be called ‘sons of the living God (Hosea 1:10). Isaiah cries out concerning Israel: Though the number of the Israelites be like the sand by the sea, only the remnant will be saved. For the Lord will carry out his sentence on earth with speed and finality (Isaiah 10:22, 23). It is just as Isaiah said previously: Unless the Lord Almighty had left us descendants, we would have become like Sodom, we would have been like Gomorrah (Isaiah 1:9),” Romans 10:11-21, “As the Scripture says, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame (Isaiah 28:16). For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him,  for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved (Joel 2:32)…And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news (Isaiah 52:7). But not all the Israelites accepted the good news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message (Isaiah 53:1)? Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ. But I ask: Did they not hear? Of course they did: Their voice has gone out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world (Psalms 19:4). Again I ask: Did Israel not understand? First, Moses says, I will make you envious by those who are not a nation; I will make you angry by a nation that has no understanding (Deuteronomy 32:21) ^. And Isaiah boldly says, I was found by those who did not seek me; I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me (Isaiah 65:1). But concerning Israel he says, All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and obstinate people (Isaiah 65:2),” and Romans 15:9-12, “so that the Gentiles may glorify God for his mercy, as it is written: Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles; I will sing hymns to your name (2 Samuel 22:50). Again, it says, Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people (Deuteronomy 32:43). And again, Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles, and sing praises to him, all you peoples (Psalms 117:1). And again, Isaiah says, The Root of Jesse will spring up, one who will arise to rule over the nations; the Gentiles will hope in him (Isaiah 11:10).” At that time we can see that when Apostle begin to teach the people about prophecy, he did not only just read within the context of the chapters but he went to various verses that match, which all talked about the same subject. Then this is the way to understand the prophecies in the bible, but because of many pastors and leaders of the church don’t teach this way, God has sealed up the bible, so that even though they may read it, they will never understand the deep prophecies within the scriptures, as it states Isaiah 28:9-10, “Who is it he is trying to teach? To whom is he explaining his message? To children weaned from their milk, to those just taken from the breast? For it is: Do and do, do and do, rule on rule, rule on rule a little here, a little there,” and Isaiah 29:10-12, “The Lord has brought over you a deep sleep: He has sealed your eyes (the prophets); he has covered your heads (the seers). For you this whole vision is nothing but words sealed in a scroll. And if you give the scroll to someone who can read, and say to him, “Read this, please, he will answer, I can’t; it is sealed. Or if you give the scroll to someone who cannot read, and say, “Read this, please,” he will answer; I don’t know how to read. Without taking a little from each verse that, talks about a particular subject, they cannot and will not understand the deep prophecies within the scriptures.

Then in these last days, if we are to fully understand all the prophecies in the bible, we must realize who is the one who will teach us correctly, Revelation 22:10, “Then he told me, “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, because the time is near,” Revelation 5:1-6, “Then I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne a scroll with writing on both sides and sealed with seven seals. And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll? But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or even look inside it. I wept and wept because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside. Then one of the elders said to me, do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals. Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing in the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elder…,”  and John 16: 13-15, “But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. He will bring glory to me by taking from what is mine and making it known to you. All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will take from what is mine and make it known to you.” In reading this, we can see that the only one who has the ability to open up the scroll and teach all the truth in the bible is the Lamb, 2^nd coming Christ. Then without knowing the truth from him, we cannot receive salvation, but we must also understand when he comes how will he teach? According these various verses we can see that God gives us the answer, that when our Father, 2^nd coming Christ comes, he will teach just like Apostle Paul did, which is reading from verse to verse, from various chapters within the bible, Isaiah 34:16, “Look in the scroll of the Lord and read: None of these will be missing, not one will lack her mate. For it is his mouth that has given the order, and his Spirit will gather them together,” and Isaiah 28:11-13, “Very well then, with foreign lips and strange tongues, God will speak to this people, to whom he said, This is the resting place, let the weary rest; and, This is the place of repose—but they would not listen. So then, the word of the Lord to them will become: Do and do, do and do, rule on rule, rule on rule; a little here, a little there— so that they will go and fall backward, be injured and snared and captured.” The only one who has fulfilled this prophecy is our true Shepard, Father Ahnsahnghong. He is the one who came with a strange tongue (different language) and taught us from verse to verse about the truth of God, which proves that he is God Almighty in the Flesh, Isaiah 11:2, “The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him—the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of power, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord,” John 10:11, “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep,” Ecclesiastes 12:9-11, “Not only was the Teacher wise, but also he imparted knowledge to the people. He pondered and searched out and set in order many proverbs. The Teacher searched to find just the right words, and what he wrote was upright and true. The words of the wise are like goads, their collected sayings like firmly embedded nails—given by one Shepherd,” Matthew 23:9-10, “And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. Nor are you to be called ‘teacher,’ for you have one Teacher, the Christ,” and Isaiah 54:13, “All your sons will be taught by the Lord, and great will be your children’s peace.” Now and days many philosophers, theologians, Christians and Catholics are pretty strict about reading the bible in the context and they say, that is the only way to understand the bible. But we should not think this way, for those that do believe this, do not consider the bible a book of prophecy but rather feel like it a history book and nothing more, Isaiah 6:9-10, “He said, Go and tell this people: Be ever hearing, but never understanding; be ever seeing, but never perceiving. Make the heart of this people calloused; make their ears dull and close their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn and be healed,” Proverbs 12:15, “The way of a fool seems right to him, but a wise man listens to advice,” 2 Timothy 4:3-4, “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,” and 1 Corinthians 3:18-20, “Do not deceive yourselves. If any one of you thinks he is wise by the standards of this age, he should become a “fool” so that he may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: He catches the wise in their craftiness; and again, The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.”

            I will truly like thank Father Ahnsahnghong for revealing the truth to us through bible, so that I may clearly understand how to recognize truth from falsehood, as it is written 1 John 4:1-6, “Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world…. They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood.”

When we read the bible it basically categorizes people into two different groups, one being the righteous people and the other being the wicked people. When we look at this, we can understand clearly that the ones who are consider to be righteous will definitely enter the kingdom of heaven. But the other group, which is the wicked, will not enter heaven. Then if we are to be the righteous people of God, we need to understand how we can reach that point and also how to not become like the wicked people on this earth, who are consider being God’s enemies.

            In reading Psalms 11:2, God describes the wicked shooting arrows, “For look, the wicked bend their bows; they set their arrows against the strings to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart,” and Psalms 11:5-6, speaks about because of that action he will destroy them, “The Lord examines the righteous, but the wicked and those who love violence his soul hates. On the wicked he will rain fiery coals and burning sulfur; a scorching wind will be their lot.” At the time of King David, the wicked shot arrows against God’s people, but how does that apply to us spiritually? In reading Jeremiah 9:3, God tells that the arrows that the wicked shoot are lies, “They make ready their tongue like a bow, to shoot lies; it is not by truth that they triumph in the land. They go from one sin to another; they do not acknowledge me,” declares the Lord.” Then in order to identify the wicked, we must understand truth, and then we will be able to understand what the lies are.

            In the bible we know that Jesus Christ never came to abolish the law but fulfill it (Matthew 5:17), and just like the physical Israelites follow the law of Moses, we the spiritual Israelites (Romans 2:28) follow the Law of Christ (1 Corinthians 9:21), which are the Sabbath day (Saturday), Passover, and all the new covenant feast of God (Hebrews 8:7-13). Then this is the truth that was established 2,000 years ago, and by following these laws we will become righteous in God’s viewpoint, as it is written Psalms 119:106, “I have taken an oath and confirmed it, that I will follow your righteous laws,” and  Psalms 119:172, “May my tongue sing of your word, for all your commands are righteous.”

            Then through this understanding of how to become righteous, we can now recognize the wicked, they are the ones who don’t keep the laws of God, as it states in these various scriptures, Nehemiah 13:17, “I rebuked the nobles of Judah and said to them, What is this wicked thing you are doing—desecrating the Sabbath day,” Proverbs 4:14-17, “Do not set foot on the path of the wicked or walk in the way of evil men. Avoid it, do not travel on it; turn from it and go on your way. For they cannot sleep till they do evil; they are robbed of slumber till they make someone fall. They eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence,” and Psalms 119:53, “Indignation grips me because of the wicked, who have forsaken your law.” Then those who forsake God‘s law, are the wicked cults on this earth and can be consider God’s enemy, Psalms 37:20, “But the wicked will perish: The Lord’s enemies will be like the beauty of the fields, they will vanish—vanish like smoke.” Even though many churches now proclaim they have the truth, God has already foretold what there end will be, Jeremiah 7:3-10, “This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Reform your ways and your actions, and I will let you live in this place. Do not trust in deceptive words and say, this is the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord! If you really change your ways and your actions and deal with each other justly, if you do not oppress the alien, the fatherless or the widow and do not shed innocent blood in this place, and if you do not follow other gods to your own harm, then I will let you live in this place, in the land I gave your forefathers for ever and ever. But look, you are trusting in deceptive words that are worthless. Will you steal and murder, commit adultery and perjury, burn incense to Baal and follow other gods you have not known, and then come and stand before me in this house, which bears my Name, and say, “We are safe”-safe to do all these detestable things,” Psalms 50:16-23, “But to the wicked, God says: What rights have you to recite my laws or take my covenant on your lips? You hate my instruction and cast my words behind you….You use your mouth for evil and harness your tongue to deceit…These things you have done and I kept silent; you thought I was altogether like you. But I will rebuke you and accuse you to your face. Consider this, you who forget God, or I will tear you to pieces, with none to rescue,” Psalms 52:1-7, “Why do you boast of evil, you mighty man? Why do you boast all day long, you who are a disgrace in the eyes of God? Your tongue plots destruction; it is like a sharpened razor, you who practice deceit. You love evil rather than good, falsehood rather than speaking the truth. You love every harmful word, O you deceitful tongue! Surely God will bring you down to everlasting ruin: He will snatch you up and tear you from your tent; he will uproot you from the land of the living. The righteous will see and fear; they will laugh at him, saying, here now is the man who did not make God his stronghold but trusted in his great wealth and grew strong by destroying others!” The destination of the wicked is not a good one, and they will suffer many things in this world and the next, then if we are to enter the kingdom of heaven we should start to have an open mind towards the word of God, and listen to the bible rather than men, Proverbs 21:28, “A false witness will perish, and whoever listens to him will be destroyed forever,” Ecclesiastes 8:8, “…As no one is discharged in time of war, so wickedness will not release those who practice it,” Proverbs 26:23-26, “Like a coating of glaze over earthenware are fervent lips with an evil heart. A malicious man disguises himself with his lips, but in his heart he harbors deceit. Though his speech is charming, do not believe him, for seven abominations fill his heart. His malice may be concealed by deception, but his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly,” Psalms 146:3, “Do not put your trust in princes, in mortal men, who cannot save,” Isaiah 2:22, “Stop trusting in man, who has but a breath in his nostrils. Of what account is he,” and Revelation 3:3, “Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; obey it, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you.”

            I will truly like to give all glory and praise to our heavenly Father Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother Jerusalem for bringing me into the Church Of God World Mission Society, so that I may listen to the word of God rather thank become wicked by following the traditions of men that ends only in disaster, Deuteronomy 18:20, “But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I have not commanded him to say, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, must be put to death,” and Deuteronomy 28:15-22, “However, if you do not obey the Lord your God and do not carefully follow all his commands and decrees I am giving you today, all these curses will come upon you and overtake you…. The Lord will send on you curses, confusion and rebuke in everything you put your hand to, until you are destroyed and come to sudden ruin because of the evil you have done in forsaking him. The Lord will plague you with diseases until he has destroyed you from the land you are entering to possess. The Lord will strike you with wasting disease, with fever and inflammation, with scorching heat and drought, with blight and mildew, which will plague you until you perish.”

In living our life as a Christian, we may found it very difficult to deal with the world and the trails and tribulations that we go through in everyday life. There is a song written by a famous song write, which in his song he compared his difficulties and trails in his life to moving a mountains. When we think about it physical, we can say that it is impossible for a person to move a whole mountain by his own strength. Just like the famous songwriter found it quite difficult to move his mountains, it is the same sometimes with our life of faith. There maybe many different type of obstacles, which seem so hard for us to overcome and may slow us down spiritually, this is our mountain that we must move.

            In looking at the life of Apostle Paul, we can see that he face many different obstacles while delivering the truth to all the lost souls at that time. He didn’t stop even though it may of seem hard to continue, through this example of Paul, we can see that he move the great and high mountain which was blocking him from entering the kingdom heaven. In believing in Jesus Christ words, he had faith as small as a muster seed and was able to endure to the end, as it is written, Matthew 17:20, “He replied, “Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” In looking at this we can understand the same about ourselves now. 2,000 years ago, in fully believing in the name of Jesus Christ, all the Christians were just like Apostle Paul and were able to overcome all the trails and tribulations of the world and it is the same now for us true Christians.

            According to the scripture, it states that 2^nd coming Christ will come back with a new name (Revelation 3:12) and reveal himself to those in Zion (Revelation 14:1). The one who has reestablished spiritual Zion, is our Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and he has give us the same mission as apostle Paul, which is to spread the news of salvation to all the world, Matthew 24:14, “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come,” and Habakkuk 2:14, “For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.” Then just like the true children of God should preach to the truth to all people, we can also understand that they will also have a great and high mountain that they will have to move. Then the question is how are we supposed to move these mountains? Jesus Christ gave us the answer 2,000 years ago, Mark 11:22-24, “Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen; it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” Through pray, preaching, enduring and having faith as small as a mustered seed, we will be able to move mountains, meaning establish Zions all over the world (Sea-Revelation 17:15), as it written Matthew 13:31-32, “He told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all your seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and perch in its branches.”

            Even though now and days many people may say bad things about Christ Ahnsahnghong and Mother Jerusalem, just like they did 2,000 year ago about Jesus, we can easily testify through the bible that Christ Ahnsahnghong  and Mother Jerusalem are true and the Church of God World Mission Society is spiritual Zion. I will truly like to give all glory and praise to Father Christ Ahnsahnhong and Heavenly Mother for giving me the strength to endure as prison of Christ (Ephesians 3:1), and shine their glory throughout the whole world, Matthew 5:14, “You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden,” Psalms 2:6, “I have installed my King on Zion, my holy hill,” and Isaiah 62:1-2, “For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, for Jerusalem’s (Holy City-Revelation 21:2) sake I will not remain quiet, till her righteousness shines out like the dawn, her salvation like a blazing torch. The nations will see your righteousness, and all kings your glory; you will be called by a new name that the mouth of the Lord will bestow.

One of the most intriguing stories in the bible is the story of Abraham and Sarah. In the book Genesis, God talks about Abraham being the forefather of faith, who was consider a righteous person because of his faith in God. But also at that time, Abraham had a wife named Sarah who was barren and couldn’t have any children. In ancient times having children was a really big deal, because it exemplified power, it also showed the one to inherit a father’s property and continue to carry the name of the family. Abraham was sad, because of his wife situation and always thought about who will inherit his property, since he was a very rich man. One day Abraham came to his own conclusion, he decided that he would give his inheritance to one of his servants name Eliezer. When this thought enter his mind, a few days later, God spoke to Abraham and told him that, Eliezer would not inherit his property but instead he would have a son coming from his own body, who would inherit his property. In hearing this, he was filled with joy and decided to wait. Some time later his wife, had an idea that she would give her maidservant Hagar to Abraham, so he could have a child, and from that situation Hagar bore Abraham, Ishmael. But when we continue to read we can see that Ishmael also didn’t receive the inheritance, but later on in the story Sarah, the barren woman actually conceived and gave birth to Isaac, who was chosen as the one to receive the inheritance. Then in reading this story we should not just see it as a story, but try to understand, what God was trying to show us.

            In reading Isaiah 51:2, we can see that God tells us who should call father and mother, “Look to Abraham, your father, and to Sarah, who gave you birth. When I called him he was but one and I blessed him and made him many.” When we think about it physically it makes no sense, because our parents are not Abraham and Sarah, but if we look at it spiritually, we can understand that Abraham and Sarah represent someone spiritually in the bible? When we read Luke 16:22-24, the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, Abraham actually represents God the Father, “The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also 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, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.” Then if Abraham represents God the Father, who does Sarah represent? According to Galatians 4:23-26, we can see that Sarah actually represents the reality of the new covenant, which is our heavenly Mother Jerusalem, “His son by the slave woman was born in the ordinary way; but his son by the free woman was born as the result of a promise. These things may be taken figuratively, for the women represent two covenants. One covenant is from Mount Sinai and bears children who are to be slaves: This is Hagar. Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present city of Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children. But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.”

            Through the Abraham story, God was trying to show us who will inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. That those who believe and come to both God the Father and God the Mother will have eternal life, as it is written, Galatians 4:28,31, “Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise…. Therefore, brothers we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman.” But if we choose to not believe in God the Mother, and only God the Father, we are just like Ishmael, who did not receive the promise inheritance. Then at the time, when Ishmael persecuted Isaac, what did Sarah tell Ishmael, Genesis 21:9-10, “But Sarah saw that the son whom Hagar the Egyptian had borne to Abraham was mocking, and she said to Abraham, “Get rid of that slave woman and her son, for that slave woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with my son Isaac.” Even though people, who call themselves Christians, persecute those who believe in the God the Father and Mother now, they will ultimately receive judgment and not receive the promise inheritance of eternal life, Galatians 4:29-30, “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.”

            I will truly like to give all glory and thanks to Father Ahnsahnghong and heavenly Mother Jerusalem, for allowing me to understand who are my true parents, and giving me strength to hold on, to what is right, 1 Peter 3:6, “like Sarah,  who obeyed Abraham and called him her master. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear.”

As we know when we read the bible there are many beautiful stories that may touch our heart and give us so much understanding about the spiritual world. But just like in all cases, we know that the stories which are in the bible are put there not to just amuse us, but to teach us about the future, as it written in Ecclesiastes 1:9, “What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun,” and Romans 15:4, “For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.” Among the many stories that we read about, there is one particular story, which through reading this chapter, we can understand the spiritual statues of this age.

            In the book of Genesis 11:1-8, the bible tells us a situation which was taking place at that time. The people, who were living in that area, had decided amongst themselves, that they would build a tower, which could reach the heavens, “Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. As men moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there. They said to each other, “Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of the whole earth.” But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower that the men were building. The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other. So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city.” In reading this we should not just look at, as if it has no meaning, but we must understand what God was trying to show us through this story.

            At that time the people tried to come together to build a tower to reach the heavens so that they may make a name fore them selves. Through this story we can understand that just like they tried to get to heaven by their own actions, it is the same now, as it is written Revelation 12:9,”The great dragon was hurled down- that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him,” and Revelation 13:8,”All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast-all whose names have not been written in the book of life belonging to the Lamb that was slain from the creation of the world.” In the last days, God has prophesied that the whole world is being led astray by Satan, but how? Just like the people of Babel tried to make a tower by using brick instead of stone, the people now and days follow tradition instead of the example of Christ, Luke 6:46-49, “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? I will show you what he is like who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice. He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.” In not obeying God’s commands of Sabbath, Passover and all the feast of God, people of this world are unknowingly joined together trying to make it to heaven on their own, which other words can be called a cult. Pastors and priest now and days know for a fact they are not obeying what Jesus taught and know that they are keeping tradition. Their purposes in doing these things are not to try to lead the people to heaven, but rather make a name for themselves just like the people of Babel, as it states, Matthew 23:5-7,”Everything they do is done for men to see: They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels on their garments long; they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; they love to be greeted in the marketplaces and to have men call them Rabbi.”

            Then in this spiritual situation, what should God do? When we read Genesis we find out that because of the people actions of trying to build the tower, God came down to confuse their language. But when we read God, said something weird when he referred to himself, he said let Us.  At that time God referred to himself in plural form, why? In the original Hebrew language of the bible God was given the name of Elohim meaning plural form of God not singular. Then we must understand that in order for this prophesy to be fulfilled in these last days, Elohim God should come down to this earth to reveal the truth to us. In reading Revelation 18, verse 1-2 and 4, we can see two mighty voices speaking about destroying Babylon, “After this I saw another angel coming down from heave. He had great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his splendor. With a mighty voice he shouted..,” and “Then I heard another voice from heaven say….” The one who came down as a great light, is no other than God the Father (John 8:12) and the other voice which called God’s people out of Babylon, is no other than God the Mother (Proverbs 1:20). In these last days our Elohim God has come down to destroy the cult like teachings of the world, as the time of Genesis, God confused their language to stop the people of Babel from working, but now, our Father and Mother stopped the devil from working, by revealing the truth and therefore blinding the false prophets of this world, as it is written 1 John 3:8, “.. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work,” 1 Corinthians 4:5, “Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men’s hearts…,” and John 9:39,”Jesus said, for judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind will see and those who see will become blind.”

            I will truly like thank Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother Jerusalem for opening up my eyes so that I may not follow the cult like teachings of the world, but rather follow what the bible says!

In this modern time that we live in, there is a judicial system set up for those who tend to oppose the law and break it. In the United States of America, we have many laws which are made to initially maintain order and peace in society. But just like in every other country, we also have many lawbreakers who enjoy and choose to be disobedient to the rules and regulations set up in the country. Whenever the authorities take these particular suspects into custody, there is a judicial system set up for them, which will determine how severe their penalty wlll be for breaking the laws established. There is a whole process that takes place, but in all cases the last and most respected person who determines how severe the penalty will be for the offender is put into the hands of the Judge. He or she is the one who has the finally say so, on what should happen to this convict.

            Through this example of our court system, God has also allowed us to understand the spiritual world. 2,000 years ago, when Jesus Christ came, he spoke about a Judge that would judge us, as it is written John 12:47-48, “As for the person who hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge him. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save it. There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; that very word which I spoke will condemn him at the last day.” According to the previous verses, we can see that just like an individual in this country is judge if he doesn’t keep the law, the same rules apply to the spiritual world; if we don’t keep what God said, we will also be judge too. The only difference, spiritually, is that instead of just certain people being judge, the bible tells us that all will be judge, 2 Corinthians 5:10, “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad,” Hebrews 9:27, “Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment,” and Ecclesiastes 12:13-14, “Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil.”

            When Jesus Christ came 2,000 years ago, he gave us the perfect example, on how to obey God’s command so that we may not be eternally condemned. In reading the bible, we can see that he keep the Sabbath day (Luke 4:31), Passover (Mark 14:16), and all the feast of God. If we have no fear of God and deviate from these commands, saying that wont don’t have to keep the Sabbath and its okay to not celebrate the Passover, there is only one penalty waiting for us, as it states Matt.12:36-37, “But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoke. For by your words you will be acquitted and by your words you will be condemned,” Luke 12:4-5, “I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after the killing of the body, has power to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you fear him,” and Romans 14:12, “so then, each of us will give an account of himself to God.”

Then we should understand, in keeping God’s commands is a matter of life or death. Then who is the one who will judge us on that day, Revelation 20:11-15, “Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. Earth and sky fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judge according to what they had done as recorded in the books…. And each person was judged according to what he had done…. If anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.” God has already foretold that the one sitting on the throne would judge us for our actions on earth, whether we keep God’s commands or not. The only one who is sitting on the throne is our heavenly Mother Jerusalem (Jeremiah 3:17). She is the one who will be judging us for actions, whether they be good or bad. In the court room the most respected person is the judge and he or she is the last person anyone would want to insult, verbally or physical. But in the spiritual world, even though Mother Jerusalem is the judge, now and days most people insult Mother verbally through the internet by saying She is a cult leader and many other bad things. When people make these statements, without even knowing they are storing up wrath for themselves which will come upon their heads in the last days, as it states Jeremiah 5:29, “Should I not punish them for this, declares the Lord. Should I not avenge myself on such a nation,” Proverbs 8:36, “But whoever fails to find me harms himself; all who hate me love death,” and Ezekiel 7:7-9, “Doom has come upon you-you who dwell in the land. The time has come, the day is near; there is panic, not joy, upon the mountains. I am about to pour out my wrath on you and spend my anger against you; I will judge you according to your conduct and repay you for all your detestable practices. I will not look on you with pity or spare; I will repay you in accordance with your conduct and the detestable practices among you. Then you will know that it is I the Lord who strikes the blow.”

I will truly like to thank Heavenly Father Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother Jerusalem, for opening up my eyes to the truth and leading may to the way of heaven so that I may not have to face the same judgment as those who proclaim they are Christian but our actually not, as it written Matthew 7:21, “Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heave, 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 not 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 evildoer!”

Most people today believe in what the bible says and all the prophecies which are in this book. The reasons why people tend to believe this is because they have actually taken the time to read and study the bible. As we already know, the bible speaks about so many prophecies, but there is one particular prophecy in the book of Daniel which is very important for us to understand.

In reading the book of Daniel, their is a prophesy concerning a dream that king Nebuchadnezzar had around the time of 605 B.C. This dream that he had trouble him so much that he called the wise men of Babylon to come and interpret this dream for him, but there was no one who can do it. So he decided to kill all the wise men of Babylon because of their lack of ability. But when we continue to read this story, God gives a man by the name Daniel the ability to interpret the dream. In reading Daniel 2:30-32, we can see that Daniel starts to tell the king his dream, which is actually a prophesy, “As for me, this mystery has been revealed to me, not because I have greater wisdom than other living men, but so that you, O king, may know the interpretation and that you may understand what went through your mind. You looked, O king, and there before you stood a large statue-enormous, dazzling statue, awesome in appearance. The head of the statue was made of gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze, its legs of iron, feet partly of iron and partly of baked clay.” Through the dream, God was trying to show the king about the kingdoms that would come after him (Daniel 2:36-43), which was Media-Persia, Greece and Rome. Now and days, when we take look at our history books we can actually see that this prophesy was fulfilled. But also during that time, Daniel saw something else after the statue was erected, as it states Daniel 2:34-35, “While you were watching, a rock was cut out, but not by human hands. It struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and smashed them. Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were broken to pieces at the same time and became like chaff on a threshing floor in the summer. The wind swept them away without leaving a trace. But the rock that struck the statue became a huge mountain and filled the whole earth.” Daniel at that time continues to describe the statue as be broken, by a rock which came in summer, but later grew, to be a huge mountain which filled the whole earth. Then as the children of God, we must understand this prophesy, just like we understood the previous one.

            First of all, let’s see who is considered to be the rock and who is the one who is to appear in the summer? In reading Isaiah 44:6-8, we can see that God refers to himself as being the rock, “This is what the Lord says- Israel’s King and Redeemer, the Lord Almighty: I am the first and I am the last apart from me there is no God… You are my witnesses. Is there any God besides me? No, there is no other Rock; I know not one.” And when read Matthew 24:32-33, Jesus speaks about his 2^nd coming happening when summer is near, “Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it (He) is near, right at the door.” As we know 2,000 years ago, Jesus Christ was God in the flesh, then the one who is to fulfilled the prophesy in Daniel is no other than 2^nd coming Christ who is to come again in the last days, Revelation 2:17, “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give him a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives it.” Then what will be his mission when he comes? In the prophesy of Daniel it spoke about this rock becoming a huge mountain, then when Christ comes with his new name, he should also establish a huge mountain as well, as it is written Psalms 87:1-5, “He has set his foundation on the holy mountain; the Lord loves the gates of Zion… Indeed, of Zion it will be said, this one and that one were born in her, and the Most High himself will establish her.” The one who has fulfilled this prophesy of establishing mount Zion in this last days which will be known all over the earth, is our heavenly Father Ahnsahnghong. In following the example of Christ Ahnsahnghong and all God commandments, we are building our faith on the solid rock (Mount Zion) and not sand, as it states Matthew 7:24:-27, “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.” Before coming to the Church of God world mission society (Zion), I followed all the traditions of the world not knowing that these teachings came from Satan, but thanks to Christ Ahnsahnghong, who came to smashed and broke into pieces all the teachings of the devil by delivering truth to us, as it states, 2 Thessalonians 2:8, “And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming,” and 1 John 3:8, “…The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work.”

Now we can see in these last days that most people of this world are all awaiting Christ return. When we read the bible now and days, there is a lot of testimony about the end days of the planet earth. But also in reading these particular scriptures we will also come across many verses that speak about Christ coming for a 2^nd time before the great and dreadful day. The bible clearly testifies that without coming to 2^nd coming Christ in these last days we cannot receive salvation, as it is written Hebrew 9:27-28, “Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, 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.” Then we must understand how to recognize Christ when he returns, because if we fail to come to him, there is only one penalty left for us, which is to face 2^nd death, Rev.21:8, “But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars-their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”

            When looking at 1^st coming Christ story, we can learn an important lesson on how they recognized Jesus as being the Christ. The way the people were able to recognize Jesus Christ is because he had fulfilled all bible prophecy which testified about him (John 5:39), as it states Matt.11:2-6, “When John heard in prison what Christ was doing, he sent his disciples to ask him, Are you the one who was to come, or should we expect someone else? Jesus replied, Go back and report to John what you hear and se: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor. Blessed is the man who does not fall away on account of me.” Jesus never came out and just shouted to the crowd that he was the Christ, but always gave his testimony by referring to the bible. As in the previous verse we can see that even John the Baptist had doubted at one point that Jesus was the one, but the way Jesus proved himself to be the Messiah was by referring him to Isaiah 35:4-5. To let him see, that he was the one who fulfilled the bible prophesy about God coming in the flesh. Through this story we can understand also how to recognize 2^nd coming Christ, which is only through the bible.

            As we already know so far, Christ is to come again and bring us salvation, but we must understand clearly how will he give us salvation? According to 2 Timothy 3:15, it states that the way we can receive salvation is through the scriptures, “and from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.” Then we see that when Christ comes again he should teach us directly from the bible (John16:13), on how to receive salvation. In looking at another verse, we can see that the way to receive salvation is by receiving the forgiveness of sins, Luke 1:77, “to give his people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins.” In looking at all these previous verses we can see that Christ who is to appear in the last days should only give us testimony from the bible on how to receive the forgiveness of sins. Then who is the one to give of forgiveness of sins? The answer to that question is our heavenly Mother, for in Zechariah 13:1, it shows that in the last days, that only through heavenly Jerusalem can we receive the forgiveness of sins, “On that day a fountain will be opened to the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and impurity.” Ever since the time of the apostles, they testified that 2^nd coming Christ would reveal the true wisdom that was kept hidden for age (Proverbs3:13-18), our Mother Jerusalem, as it is written, 1 Corinthians 2:6-10, “We do, however; speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. No, we speak of God’s secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. However, as it is written: No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him- but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit (Holy Spirit).” The way we can recognize Christ in this age, is that he should testify about our heavenly Mother. The only who has fulfilled this great mystery is our heavenly Father Ahnsahnghong. He revealed heavenly Mother in 1984 on Passover night in a wedding hall, in order to fulfill prophesies throughout the bible (Revelation 21:9). By coming to the free woman (Gal.4:26) heavenly Mother Jerusalem, we can be forgiven and set free from our sins, as it states in John 8:32, “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
