GENESIS 12 :10~20
10 Now there was famine in the land, and Abram went down to Egypt to live there for a while because the famine was severe.
11 As he was about to enter Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai, I know what a beautiful woman you are.
12 When the Egyptians see you, they will say 'This is his wife.' Then they will kill me but will let you live.
13 Say you are my sister, so that I will be treated well for your sake and my life will be spared because of you.
14 When Abram came to Egypt, the Egyptians saw that she was a very beautiful woman.
15 And when Pharaoh's officials saw her, they praised her to Pharaoh, and she was taken into his palace.
16 He treated Abram well for her sake, and Abram acquired sheep and cattle, male and female donkeys, menservants and maidservants, and camels.
17 But the LORD inflicted serious diseases on Pharaoh and his household because of Abram's wife Sarai.
18 So Pharaoh summoned Abram. "What have you done to me?" he said. "Why didn't you tell me she was your wife?
19 Why did you say, 'She is my sister,' so that I took her to be my wife? Now then, here is your wife. Take her and go!"
20 Then Pharaoh gave orders about Abram to his men, and they sent him on his way, with his wife and everything he had.

The Call of Abram
GENESIS 12 :1~9
1 The LORD had said to Abram, "Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you.
2 "I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.
3 I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will cause; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you."
4 So Abram left, as the LORD had told him; and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he set out from Haran.
5 He took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, all the possessions they had accumulated and the people they had acquired in Haran, and they set out for the land of Canaan, and they arrived there.
6 Abram traveled through the land as far as the site of the great tree of Moreh at Shechem. At that time the Canaanites were in the land.
7 The LORD appeared to Abram and said, "To your offspring I will give this land." So he built an altar there to the LORD, who had appeared to him.
8 From there he went on toward the hills east of Bethel and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east. There he built an altar to the LORD and called on the name of the LORD.
9 Then Abram set out and continued toward the Negev.
1 The LORD had said to Abram, "Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you.
2 "I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.

World Water Forum and Famine
Under the slogan of “Water for our Future”,
the 7th World Water Forum (WWF) was held in Korea a couple of weeks
ago with the opening ceremony attended by the world leaders and experts from
around the world. The forum is the largest international event to discuss water
related issues. This year, as usual, it discussed solving water shortages and related environmental
disasters, etc.
As the world is running out of water rapidly by
industrialization and abnormal weather, the world comes to be afraid of water. Therefore, we need a
world-wide forum or an organization to solve water shortages and related
difficulties such as world wars between countries. In this respect, I think WWF
has played a good role.
By the way, the Bible prophesies shortages of spiritual
water as well as shortages of physical one in the last days.
Am 8:11~13 “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 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 the thirst.
Water is very crucial to all living
creatures. Just like that, spiritual water is vital to the spiritual life. The
Holy Book said that someday, because of not a thirst for water but a famine of spiritual
water, even young people will faint and stagger. Even though the almost
countries try to solve the thirst for water internationally, who can solve the
shortages of spiritual water and related problems and how? The answer can
be found only in the Bible.
Rev 22:17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!”
And let him who hears say, “Come!” Whoever in thirsty, let him come; and
whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life.
To those who are thirsty, the Spirit and bride say “Come!” It means the Spirit and bride can solve a spiritual thirst with the water of life. Who are the Spirit and bride? And what is the water of life? The Bible said that the Spirit is God the Father and the bride, His Wife, is God the Mother and the water of life is the Passover. You can know them more exactly if you study diligently the Bible.

The Tower of Babel
GENESIS 11: 1~9
1 Now the whole world had one language and a common speech.
2 As men moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there.
3 They said to each other, "Come, let's make bricks and bake them thoroughly." They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar.
4 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."
5 But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the men were building.
6 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.
7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other."
8 So the LORD scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city.
9 That is why it was called Babel-because there the LORD confused the language of the whole world. From there the LORD scattered them over the face of the whole earth.

The Sons of Noah
Genesis 9:18~29
18 The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham and Japheth. (Ham was the father of the Canaan.)
19 These were the three sons of Noah, and from them came the people who were scattered over the earth.
20 Noah, a man of the soil, proceeded to plant a vineyard.
21 When he drank some of its wine, he became drunk and lay uncovered inside his tent.
22 Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father’s nakedness and told hos two brothers outside.
23 But Shem and Japhethtook a garment and laid it across their shoulders; then they walked in backyard and covered their father’s nakedness. Their faces were turned the other way so that they would not see their father’s nakedness.
24 When Noah awoke from his wine and found out what his youngest son had done to him,
25 he said, “Cursed be Canaan! The lowest of slaves will he be to his brothers.”
26 He also said, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem.
27 May God extend the territory of Japheth; may Japheth live in the tents of Shem, and may Canaan be his slave.“
28-29 After the flood Noah lived 359 years. All together, Noah lived 950 years, and then he died.
God‘s Covenant With Noah
Genesis 9:1~17
1 Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth.
2 The fear and dread of you will fall upon all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air, upon every creature that moves along the ground, and upon all the fish of the sea; they are given into your hands.
3 Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.
4 But you must not eat meat that has its lifeblood still in it.
5 And for your lifeblood I will surely demand an accounting. I will demand an accounting every animal. And from each man, too, I will demand as anccounting for the life of his fellow men.
6 “Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made man.
7 As for you, be fruitful and increase in number; multiply on the earth and increase upon it.“
8 Then God said to Noah and to hid sons with him:
9“I now establish my covenant with you and with your descendants after you
10 and with every living creature that was with you - the birds, the livestock and all he wild animals, all those that came out of the ark with you – every living creature on earth.
11 I establish my covenant with you: Never again will all life be cut off by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.“
12 and God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come:
13 I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between and the earth.
14 Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds,
15 I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life.
16 Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.“
17 So God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant I have established between me and all life on the earth.”

Noah sacrificed burnt offering
GENESIS 8:20~22
20 Then Noah built an altar to the LORD and, taking some of all the clean animals and clean birds, he sacrificed burnt offerings on it.
20 Then Noah built an altar to the LORD and, taking some of all the clean animals and clean birds, he sacrificed burnt offerings on it.
21 The LORD smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: "Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from childhood. And never again will I destroy all living creatures, as I have done.
22 "As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease."
The floodwater had stopped
GENESIS 8:1~19
1 But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and the livestock that were with him in the ark, and he sent a wind over the earth, and the waters receded.
2 Now the springs of the deep and the floodgates of the heavens had been closed, and the rain had stopped falling from the sky.
3 The water receded steadily from the earth. At the end of the hundred and fifty days the water had gone down,
4 and on the seventeenth day of the seventh month the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.
5 The waters continued to recede until the tenth month, and on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains became visible.
6 After forty days Noah opened the window he had made in the ark
7 and sent out raven, and it kept flying back and forth until the water had dried up from the earth.
8 Then he sent out a dove to see if the water had receded from the surface of the ground.
9 But the dove could find no place to set its feet because there was water over all the surface of the earth; so it returned to Noah in the ark. He reached out his hand and took the dove and brought it back to himself in the ark.
10 He waited seven more days and again sent out the dove from the ark.
11 When the dove returned to him in the evening, there in its beak was a freshly plucked olive leaf! Then Noah knew that the water had receded from the earth.
12 He waited seven more days and sent the dove out again, but this time it did not return to him.
13 By the first day of the first month of Noah's six hundred and first year, the water had dried up from the earth. Noah then removed the covering from the ark and saw that the surface of the ground was dry.
14 By the twenty-seventh day of the second month the earth was completely dry.
15-16 Then God said to Noah, "Come out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and their wives.
17 Bring out every kind of living creature that is with you - the birds, the animals, and all the creatures that move along the ground - so they can multiply on the earth and it fruitful and increase in number upon it."
18 So Noah came out, together with his sons and his wife and his son's wives.
19 All the animals and all the creatures that move along the ground and all the birds - everything that moves on the earth - came out of the ark, one kind after another.

Without God's love...[WMSCOG]
Today, I heard about 'God's love'.
As you know, Elohim God's love is amazing and endless.
Their great love make us life forever.
When we were in the garden of Eden, because of sin we lost way to the fruit of the tree of life. Therefore we came to die.
Genesis 3:22-24New International Version (NIV)
22 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.” 23 So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. 24 After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side[a] of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.
However, for granting the way of life, 2,000 yrs ago God the Father as Jesus came down to this earth and gave the Passover, the way of life, that is, the tree of life.
Matthew 26:19New International Version (NIV)
19 So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.
Matthew 26:26-28New International Version (NIV)
26 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.”
27 Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 28 This is my blood of the[a] covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
In the last age, God the Father as Spirit and God the Mother as Bride has come to this earth.
Revelation 22:17New International Version (NIV)
17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.
If we can live forever once we keep the Passover, there's no reason why our heavenly parents has come to this earth. Without Their great love, there's nothing!! So before keeping the Passover, we have to realize God the Father Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother's love.

[WMSCOG] what do you think our soul needs the most? [“God the Mother”]
Water is indispensable to human life. No life would exist without water.
Water is essential to life, then what do you think our soul needs the most?
The spiritual water is essential for our soul.
Today, let us think what is the water of life, and who can give us the eternal life.
Just like there is no life where mother does not exist, the eternal life can be given only through “God the Mother”. As the one who has the greatest love in the world is mother, the source of true love is “God the Mother”. Please come to the Church of God(WMSCOG) following “God the Mother” to receive the infinite love and the blessings of the eternal life.
"God the Mother" love us forever.
Physically is impossible for us to live without water.
God said everything He created is to let us understand who He is (Rm 1:19).
Then just like physical water gives physical life, spiritual water gives life to the full, that is, eternal life.
Is 55:1 “Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost…”
This prophecy was fulfilled by Jesus Christ by giving us His flesh and blood 2,000 years ago and also at the Feast of Tabernacles (Jn 7:37).
But then, in the last days Who will give us this water?
Surely nobody except God can give it to us.
Zech 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.”
In the last days the living water comes from Jerusale, that is our Mother (Gal 4:26).
“God the Mother“, the Bride of the Holy Spirit is calling everyone to come and receive freely the water of life.

Their enthusiasm and concern for community and the various activities for living together in harmony change our life and our world.
If we all try with WMSCOG that follows the teaching of "God the Mother", this world can be changed from a heartless and selfish world into a positive, warm and hopeful world.
Parents of our bodies and Parents of our souls_God the Mother_WMSCOG
WHY the members of World Mission Society Church of God (WMSCOG) believe in "God the Mother" as well as God the Father? I thinks many of you are wondering the same thing.
It seems that breaking the stereotypes and common notion like "God exist as God the Father only " may takes a long time.
But in the God's point of View , the many people's this fixed ides is wrong.
The answer of this matter is very easy and clear when we look see through the Bible, the words of God.

Floodwater
GENESIS 7:1~24
1 The LOAD then said to Noah, "Go into the ark, you and your whole family, because I have found you righteous in this generation.
2 Take with you seven of every kind of clean animal, a mail and its mate, and two of every kind of unclean animal, a mail and its mate,
3 and also seven of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth.
4 Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made."
5 And Noah did all that the LORD commanded him.
6 Noah was six hundred years old when the floodwaters came on the earth.
7 And Noah and his sons and his wife and his son's wives entered the ark to escape the waters of the flood.
8 Pairs of clean and unclean animals, of birds and of all creatures that move along the ground,
9 male and female , came to Noah and entered the ark, as God had commanded Noah.
10 And after the seven days the floodwaters came on the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, on the seventeenth day of the second month-on that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth , and the floodgates of the heavens were opened.
12 And rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights.
13 On that very day Noah and his sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth, together with his wife and wives of his three sons, entered the ark.
14 They had with them every wild animal according to its kind, all livestock according to their kinds, every creature that moves along the ground according to its kind and every bird according to its kind, everything with wings.
15 Pairs of all creatures that have the breath of life in them came to Noah and entered the ark.
16 The animals going in were male and female of every living thing, as God had commanded Noah. Then the LORD shut him in.
17 For forty days the flood kept coming on the earth, and as the waters increased they lifted the ark high above the earth.
18 The waters rose and increased greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the water.
19 They rose greatly on the earth, and all the high mountains under the entire heavens were covered.
20 The waters rose and covered the mountains to a depth of more than twenty feet.
21 Every living thing that moved on the earth perished-birds, livestock, wild animals, all the creatures that swarm over the earth, and all mankind.
22 Everything on dry land that had the breath of life in its nostrils died.
23 Every living thing on the face of the earth was wiped out; men and animals and the creatures that move along the ground and the birds of the air were wiped from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those with him in the ark.
24 The waters flooded the earth for a hundred and fifty days.

The Passover, way of eternal life
2000 years ago, Jesus Christ established the Passover which is the way of eternal life.
However, the Passover was abolished in 325 AD by satan according to the prophecy of the Bible (Daniel 7:25).
Since then, nobody could get the eternal life.
So God decided to come down to the earth second time to restore the Passover, so that His children may have eternal life and go back to the Kingdom of Heaven (Hebrew 9:28)
Christ Ahnsahnghong came down to the earth and restored the Passover to give us salvation according to the prophecy.
Let's keep the Passover, the way of eternal life in the World Mission Society Church of God.
The greatest miracle in the world
Which one is the greater miracle: Rising from the dead or living eternally?
Of course, the latter is. Even if someone rises from the dead, he will die again some day. Eternal living is really the greatest miracle in the world. “Eternal life”– the area which has not been accomplished even by the state-of-the-art medical science and which will not be fulfilled by men. 2,000 years ago, God let mankind, who were destined to die, know how to experience the miracle of living forever. He allowed it through the Passover of the new covenant.
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life … (John 6:53-54)
And he said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer… “This [Bread] is my body … This cup [Wine] is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you. (Luke 22:15-20)
However, Satan, who watched thirstily for a chance to destroy God’s work, abolished the Passover at the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD.
Christ Ahnsahnghong, God who has come again, said as follows to let us know what the greatest miracle in the world is and how important the Passover is:
People say that the manna which came down from heaven in the wilderness is a miracle, and they say that raising Lazarus from the dead is a miracle.
Yet, in the eyes of God, neither being cured of diseases nor rising from the dead is a miracle.
All people including Lazarus and those who ate the manna in the wilderness died.
However, those who eat and drink the flesh and blood of Jesus will live even though they die; and they will never die.
Obtaining eternal life by eating the bread of life!
Giving life through the Passover to those who are to die; there is no greater miracle than this.
The most important thing to us is the flesh and blood of Jesus, which was allowed through His death on the cross.
In this age, we should not seek miracles and signs.
We should seek eternal life.
We must understand deeply and cherish this covenant of life God gives us, and must always give thanks to God.”
I pray that all people around the world will experience the greatest miracle in the world: living forever with the flesh and blood God which was allowed through His death on the cross.
The World Mission Society Church of God believes in God the Father and "God the Mother" according to the Bible _WMSCOG
Whenever We (WMSCOG) say that we believe in "God the Mother" as well as God the Father, many people are surprised to hear that. It is because they have some common stereotypes and conventional way of thinking about God.
One of things that many people misunderstand about the Bible is that there is only God the Father. However, the Bible clearly reveals that there exists "God the Mother" as well God the Father from the first page of the Bible.
Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea...." So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. (Genesis 1:26-27)
If there is only one God, God the Father, it should read ‘my image’ not ‘our image.’ In addition, only ‘male’ should have been created in the image of God the Father. But, is there only male created in the image of God? Isn’t there also ‘female’?
The fact that male and female were created in the image of God is the evidence that God’s image includes God the Father and "God the Mother". It’s very important to know the existence of God the Father and "God the Mother" because it’s prophesied that God the Father and "God the Mother" are to appear to give us the water of life in the last days.
The Spirit [God the Father] and the bride ["God the Mother"] say, "Come!" And let him who hears say, "Come!" Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life. (Revelation 22:17)
Those who have met God the Father and "God the Mother" can receive the water of life. People who only know God the Father do not know God whom we must press on to know. The World Mission Society Church of God (WMSCOG) receives the water of life from the Spirit and the bride according to the words of the Bible.
[WMSCOG]The Will of God in Creating Eve, Adam’s Wife
There is one thing that only man never can do but only a woman can do. what is it?
It is to give birth to a child. God made human being only women can give birth to child. Why?
It is because to show us our eternal life also given by "God the Mother".
WMSCOG believe "God the Mother" because a lot of verses in the bible tell us
only be given eternal life through our "God the Mother".
Rom. 5:14 『. . . Adam, who was a pattern of the one to come.』
Since the book of Romans was written after Jesus had already ascended, the “one to come” mentioned in the above verse indicates the Second Coming Jesus. Adam was created to lead us to the Second Coming Jesus. Then, what was God’s will in creating Eve, Adam’s wife?
Gen. 2:21 『So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs and closed up the place with flesh.』
Gen. 3:20 『Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become the mother of all the living.』
The name “Eve” means “life.” Eve was called “the mother of all the living.” God’s intent in creating Adam was to reveal the Second Coming Jesus, our heavenly Father, and Eve was created to reveal the Second Coming Jesus’ wife, our heavenly Mother. In other words, just as Eve was called “the mother of all the living,” we can only be given eternal life through our heavenly Mother. Eve represents our "God the Mother".
"God the Mother" giving us eternal life
Are you finding the way to kingdom of heaven? Please come to the World Mission Society Church of God (WMSCOG) to meet the last Adam who represents Christ Ahnsahnghong and the last Eve who represents "God the Mother" who will lead us to the kingdom of heaven.
The Account of Noah
GENESIS 6:9~22
9 This is the account of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked with God.
10 Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham and Japheth.
11 Now the earth was corrupt in God's sight and was full of violence.
12 God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways.
13 So God said to Noah, 'I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth.
14 So make yourself an ark of cypress wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out.
15 This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be 450 feet long, 75 feet wide and 45 feet high.
16 Make a roof for it and finish the ark to within 18 inches of the top. Put a door in the side of the ark and make lower, middle and upper decks.
17 I am going to bring floodwaters on the earth to destroy all life under the heavens, every creature that has the breath of life in it. Everything on earth will perish.
18 But I will establish my covenant with you, and you will enter the ark-you and your sons and your wife and your sons' wives with you.
19 You are to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with you.
20 Two of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind of creature that moves along the ground will come to you to be kept alive.
21 You are to take every kind of food that is to be eaten and store it away as food for you and for them.'
22 Noah did everything just as God commanded him.

The Wickedness of the Men
GENESIS 6:1~8
1 When men began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them,
2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose.
3 Then the LORD said, 'My Spirit will not contend with man forever, for he is mortal; his days will be a hundred and twenty years.'
4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days-and also afterward-when the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.
5 The LORD saw how great man's wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time.
6 The LORD was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain.
7 So the LORD said, 'I will wipe mankind, whom I have created, from the face of the earth-men and animals, and creatures that move along the ground, and birds of the air-for I am grieved that I have made them.'
8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD.

From beginning... _ Heavenly Mother's love in WMSCOG
“What is learned in the cradle is carried to the grave,” says a popular old adage.
While it means that habits acquired in youth tend to be hard to break, Korean people have long embraced a more literal interpretation of the saying.
Since over 600 years ago, expectant mothers in Korea have been practicing taegyo, a series of prenatal routines aimed at nurturing a healthy, virtuous and skilled child. They try to see and hear only the most pleasant things starting from three months of pregnancy.
It is very similar to Heavenly Mother's love towards us. From the beginning, Heavenly Mother purposed us in Her.
Ephesians 1:4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight.
For meeting Heavenly Mother, plz come to Zion[World Mission Society Church of God;WMSCOG] where Heavenly Mother dwell.

[WMSCOG] Angelic world with Christ Ahnsahnghong and "God the Mother"
[WMSCOG] Angelic world with Christ Ahnsahnghong and "God the Mother"
It is said that man is the lord of all creation.
However, human are restricted to the earth,
and we cannot live out of earth.
As fishes cannot imagine the life out of underwater world,
we cannot imagine our heavenly world.
The nature on earth is beautiful enough,
but how much more beautiful would a angelic world be?
WMSCOG, We are so happy, because the kingdom of heaven is waiting for us!
I always imagine the eternal life with Christ Ahnsahnghong and "God the Mother"
I always imagine the eternal life with Christ Ahnsahnghong and "God the Mother"
[The angelic world]
What’s the difference between the angelic world
and this human world? Could U say it with confidence?
I’m sure that there’ll be no one in the world who can do this.
“No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him!” [1 Corinthians 2:9]
As the Bible says, we are unable to imagine what the angelic world is like.
However, I’m convinced that Christ Ahnsahnghong and “God the Mother“ have prepared everything in the angelic world.
Elohim God clearly promised that the life in the human world is not worth comparing with the life in the angelic world!
[Romans 8:18] When we return to heavenly home, there, we’ll see the river of the water of life and the tree of life!
[Revelation 22:1~2] Have U ever imagined the river of the water of life?
WMSCOG
When we receive Christ Ahnsahnghong and “God the Mother“!
We can go back to angelic world where we were.
We, who are living in this human world, are like fishes! Do U think that fishes can imagine what this human world is like? I know your answer! Absolutely, “Impossible!”

The way to the Kingdom of Heaven
World Mission Society Church of God keeps the Passover of the New Covenant.
How can we go to the Kingdom of Heaven?
Can we go to the Kingdom of Heaven just by faith?
Here is the way to go to the Kingdom of Heaven.
It is the Passover.
God promised us to give us eternal life (salvation) through the Passover.
Some claim that there is no need to keep the Passover because it belongs to the Old Testament law. They say that all laws were abolished after the Crucifixion. This means that Jesus abolished the Passover before He suffered on the cross. Did Jesus really say that we do not need to celebrate the Passover? First, let’s take a look at the record of the Passover in the Bible.
About 3,500 years ago, the people of Israel, who had been in slavery for 430 years, had a critical chance to be freed from Egypt. That was the ‘Passover.’ Immediately before they came out of Egypt, God commanded them to keep the Passover by observing the following rules and regulations (Exodus 12:1-14; 43-46):
1) It must be kept on the evening of the 14th day of the first month of the sacred calendar,
2) by eating the roasted lamb and taking some of the blood and putting it on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses,
3) after being circumcised.
This was the rules of the Passover of the Old Testament. When they kept the Passover by following the words of God, they received His blessings. How about in the time of the New Testament?
2) by eating the roasted lamb and taking some of the blood and putting it on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses,
3) after being circumcised.
This was the rules of the Passover of the Old Testament. When they kept the Passover by following the words of God, they received His blessings. How about in the time of the New Testament?
For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. Therefore let us keep the Festival … (1 Corinthians 5:7-8: NIV)
For our Passover Festival is ready, now that Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. Let us celebrate our Passover… (1 Corinthians 5:7-8: GNT)
According to the prophecy of the Old Testament, Jesus became the reality of the Passover lamb and shed His blood on the cross. And like the Passover lamb, the legs of Jesus were not broken:
The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with Jesus, and then those of the other. But when they came to Jesus and found that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. (John 19:32-33)
Jesus, the reality of the Passover lamb and God Incarnate, gave us a new promise (New Testament) on the day of the Passover before He suffered on the cross.
Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed… And he said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer… And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you…” (Luke 22:7-20)
In the time of the old promise (Old Testament) which had gone away, the people of Israel ate a lamb on the Passover. However, we should keep the Passover by eating and drinking the flesh and blood of Jesus, the reality of the Passover lamb, since He made a new promise. In the time of the Old Testament, it’s allowed to eat the Passover lamb after being circumcised. Then, how about in the time of the New Testament?
In him you were also circumcised, in the putting off of the sinful nature, not with a circumcision done by the hands of men but with the circumcision done by Christ, having been buried with him in baptism and raised with him through your faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead. (Colossians 2:11-12)
In this age, we must be baptized to participate in the blessings of the Passover. The rules and regulations of the Passover of the New Testament are as follows:
1) It must be kept on the evening of the 14th day of the first month of the sacred calendar,
2) by eating and drinking the Passover bread and wine, which stands for the flesh and blood of Jesus,
3) after being baptized.
The very day Jesus ate the last supper with his disciples before He was crucified on the cross was the Passover. On that day, He gave them a new promise while eating the Passover. And the disciples participated in the Lord’s Supper by keeping the Passover even after the Crucifixion (1 Corinthians 11:23-26.)
2) by eating and drinking the Passover bread and wine, which stands for the flesh and blood of Jesus,
3) after being baptized.
The very day Jesus ate the last supper with his disciples before He was crucified on the cross was the Passover. On that day, He gave them a new promise while eating the Passover. And the disciples participated in the Lord’s Supper by keeping the Passover even after the Crucifixion (1 Corinthians 11:23-26.)
The Passover was not abolished after the Crucifixion. We should keep it in accordance with the promise and the rules Jesus made newly. By taking part in the Lord’s Supper held on the Passover by eating and drinking the Passover bread and wine representing Jesus’ flesh and blood, we can have the forgiveness of sins and eternal life.
