The Rose of Sharon

National Flower of South Korea
"I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys." Song of Solomon 2:21


Mugunghwa
Immortal Flower

The Rose of Sharon opens,
and spreads her fragrance from the east.
Even though she blooms late,

her flowers never fail.
Her strength withstands the heat of summer,
and she grows tall like a tree in all circumstances.
The immortal flower shines,
reflecting the light of the sun.

God the Mother's Boundless Love

There is a true story about a mother who was buried under the rubble of an earthquake, along with her baby. Being trapped under the debris, the mother’s only wish was to keep her loving child alive. She eagerly struggled to breastfeed her baby, but was unable, due to her own malnourishment. As the days went by, the mother became desperate to find a way to feed her dying child. In a last attempt keep her precious baby alive, she used a sharp rock to cut off the tip of her finger and allowed her child to suck the blood dripping from her finger. When the rescue team arrived, the mother was dead, but the baby was still alive; the mother had sacrificed her own life to save her child.

Through the selfless love and sacrifice of this mother, I can come to understand more Christ’s boundless love to save sinners.

“Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Rom 5:7-8

How can I even fathom the love of Christ? Christ came down out of heaven to this world, in the flesh, having to breathe the air of this world, and underwent extreme pain, suffering, humiliation and crucifixion in order to save us.
Now, Heavenly Mother is walking the path of suffering.

“But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.” Gal 4:26
“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.” Rev 21:10

Though many people blaspheme our Mother, the Heavenly Jerusalem, and say the same things to her that they said to Jesus Christ, her undying to love to save the sinners remains immovable. Zech 12:3
I am so thankful for the boundless love of God the Mother who sheds her blood for us every day.

A "gospel" is not the Gospel.

Jesus Christ preached the good news of the kingdom (Matthew 4:23). In other words, he preached the gospel (Matthew 24:14).

Whenever I would hear the word "gospel" growing up, a vision Karen Clark Sheard, Yolanda Adams, or CeCe Winans would pop-up in my mind. At that time, they were my favorite "gospel" artists. They sang with carisma and gusto, and seemed to believe wholeheartedly in the message they were delivering. Their songs would play on the "gospel" shows on the radio, and I would see their albums in the "gospel" section in music stores along with other "gospel" artists. I, myself, would even sing "gospel" music in the choir, often at the top of my lungs! But, what I have come to learn is that the "gospel" I thought was the gospel, was in fact no gospel at all.

This is what apostle Paul had to say about the gospel:

"...This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus." (Ephesians 3:4-7)

According to the Bible, the gospel is a mystery--meaning the reality is not disclosed to everyone. Through the gospel, we become heirs to the Kingdom of Heaven, we become one body, and we come to share in the precious promise of eternal life (1 John 2:25). Then, what is this gospel that Jesus Christ preached so ardently, and of which Apostle Paul proclaimed himself to be a servant?

Christ Ahnsahnghong gave us "aged" wine.

"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." (Hebrews 9:28)

"On this mountain the Lord Almighty will prepare a feast of rich food for all peoples, a banquet of aged wine - the best of meats and the finest of wines. On this mountain he will destroy the shroud that enfolds all peoples, the sheet that covers all nations, he will swallow up death forever...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.'" (Isaiah 25:6-9)

Christ Ahnsahnghong is the One who came into this world covered with the shroud of sin and death, and brought us salvation through the New Covenant Passover. He shared with us the wine of the Passover that had been hidden and aging until now. He is 2nd coming Christ, and I am so proud and thankful to be able to say that He is my God.

As Jesus Christ promised us:

"Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life." (John 6:54),

Christ Ahnsahnghong, 2nd coming Christ, has renewed this precious promise. This promise was not given through what people call "Communion", it was not given through what people call "Eucharist", it was given through Christ's precious sacrifice of the Passover.

But, even though Father Christ Ahnsahnghong was in the world, the world did not understand. He was mocked and ridiculed, and called a heretic, when all he did was preach the Gospel and sacrifice for the lives of sinners. This is the same thing that happened to Jesus Christ 2000 years ago...

"The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it." (John 1:5)

"He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him." (John 1:10-11)

I hope that all people will recognize what Christ Ahnsahnghong has done for us, and that the whole world may follow Him and rejoice in His salvation.

Reflection of Heavenly Mother

Heavenly Mother's love is unconditional,
often silent and invisible,
but, it is clearly heard and seen,
through the lives of Her children.

Heavenly Mother is the Source

I look towards the east,
and there I see a mountain.
She is tall and wide and deep.

In my vision She covers the whole earth.

From the top of the mountain I see a spring.
The spring flows to be a river,
and the river forges its way into the Sea.
I can hear the sound as it flows into the Sea--
making the waters fresh and giving life to the creatures.

In my vision the mountain covers the whole earth.
I long to stand on this mountain forever.


(Zechariah 12:3, Zechariah 14:8, Ezekiel 47, Revelation 14)

Mercy from Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother

I am so thankful to Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother Jerusalem for opening my eyes to see Them through the scriptures and for carrying me on eagles' wings to meet Them at the Feasts of God. Throughout my time in Zion, They have allowed me to realize that everything is done by Them. Even though I thought that it was by my will that I was saved and that I was given the opportunity to know true God Elohim, I see more clearly that it is by Their grace that I am able to do anything.

Elohim God created everything out of nothing by Their word. Everything was done by Their will and with Their power. (Revelation 4:11) This is why I earnestly desire to give all glory to Elohim--Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother.

More and more each day, I am amazed and overjoyed with Their plan to save the children who sinned against Them in Heaven.

Elohim God says "Come!"

Elohim God is a mystery to some,
but for the children of God,
They are our Father and Mother.

In the beginning They said:
"Let us make man in our image...".
Now, in the end, They are calling out earnestly to the thirsty souls.
The Spirit and the bride are saying "Come!"
The children who listen are saying "Come!"
Can't you hear them?

(Genesis 1:26-27, Revelation 22:17)

Thankful for the Sabbath

I had an amazing Sabbath day! I am so thankful to be able to keep the Sabbath were Elohim God has promised me rest, blessings, and holiness, and a sign between me and God--that I may know God. Truly Elohim God is the source of knowledge and source of the water of life! (Genesis 1:3, 2 Corinthians 4:6, Genesis 1:26-27, Revelation 22:17)

God spoke:
"Remember the Sabbath Day by keeping it Holy..." (4th Commandment, Exodus 20:8-11)

What happened to the Sabbath? Now, Christian denominations are keeping Sunday worship.
God said..."Remember..."

Now is time to remember the Sabbath day. The Holy Spirit in the flesh, Christ Ahnsahnghong, came as the Bible prophesied and reminded us to "Remember". (John 14:26)

Ask. Seek. Knock. Find.

"So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened." (Luke 11: 9-10)

and in another place He said,

"...Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice...in that day you will no longer ask me anything. I tell you the truth, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete." (John 16:22-24)

The NAME of Christ is important. Christ has let us know that we will receive whatever we ask for in His name. In Revelation, which is concerning the last days, Christ testified that He would come with a new name, as it is written:

"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." (Revelation 3:12-13)

In order for us to receive blessings in this age, we must ask in the New Name.

The Spirit also mentioned "the NAME of the the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God". This Jerusalem has a NAME, and she is our Mother. (Revelation 21:10, Galatians 4:26)

The new name of Jesus and the name of Jerusalem are declared in Zion, for God spoke:

"the name of the Lord will be declared in Zion..." (Psalms 102:21-22)

Therefore, ask the way to Zion; seek Zion; knock on Zion's door. In Zion, you will find the names of our Father and Mother.

Endeavor

Endeavor: [en-dev-er] 1. to exert oneself to do or effect something; make an effort; strive: We must constantly endeavor if we are to succeed. 2. to attempt; try. 3. Archaic. to attempt to achieve or gain. 4. A strenuous effort; attempt.

...

As we embark on a mission,
and reach for what seems to be impossible,
Heavenly Mother has reminded us:
“Everything is possible for him who believes.”
As we press on towards our goals,
to actualize our dreams,
sometimes it seems like we are running in place.
But, an amazing thing is occurring:
God is building patience,
God is building endurance,
and running in place wasn’t actually what it seemed to be.

How do I know Christ Ahnsahnghong is the New Name?

Jesus said:

"...and I will also write on him my new name." (Revelation 3:12-13)

"...I will give him a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives it." (Revelation 2:17)

But, you may say to yourself, "I never heard about this new name. Why did you receive it, and not to me? How do you know Christ Ahnsahnghong is the new name?"

The answer is simple: Only those who are in Zion can know the New Name.

"...So the name of the Lord will be declared in Zion and his praise in Jerusalem when the peoples and the kingdoms assemble to worship the Lord." (Psalms 102:21-22)

According to the Bible, God's name will be given in Zion, the city of God's appointed feasts. Without being in Zion it is impossible to receive the new name. For God said, "...the name of the Lord will be declared in Zion." If it were possible to know the New Name, without being in Zion, then the Bible would be flawed--but the Bible has no flaw. Man's fixed concepts can be flawed, as even science has proven over and over again.

So, before one thinks to slander the name of Christ Ahnsahnghong, one should remember what happened to Jesus and to His followers 2000 years ago. People thought they were crazy. They were mocked and ridiculed. They were put in jail. They were stoned. They were tortured. They were burned to death and crucified. They kept the Feasts of God in catacombs. Why? Because of the Name of Christ.

Now, following the example of sacrifice of our forefathers of faith, I want to proclaim the New Name: Christ Ahnsahgnhong.

Christ Ahnsahnghong rebuilt Zion

Before coming to the World Mission Society Church of God, I didn't know about Zion, and I had no idea that there were certain "Feasts of God" that I should have been keeping (Leviticus 23). Jesus Christ, His disciples, and the early church kept the New Covenant Feasts, but many people are not aware that Christ's laws were changed in the Dark Ages. What most Churches are keeping now are pagan customs that have become traditions (Christmas, Sunday worship, cross reverence and other forms of idolatry, etc.). When Christ Ahnsahnghong came, he rebuilt Zion--something that, according to prophecy, only God can accomplish:

Indeed, of Zion it will be said, "This one and that one were born in her, and the Most High himself will establish her."
(Psalms 87:5)

"For the Lord will rebuild Zion...Let this be written for a future generation..."
(Psalms 102:12-22)

Jesus built Zion at his first coming, but it was destroyed as pagan/secular rituals infiltrated the church. When Christ Ahnsahnghong appeared, he rebuilt the ruined Zion, and that is why I am convinced that Christ Ahnsahnghong is not a mere man. He is God. (John 10:33, Hebrews 9:28)

I am so thankful that Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother have lead me to the Zion, the Church of God, where I can know God and receive the blessing of eternal life.

"...For there (In Zion) the Lord bestows his blessing, even life forevermore." (Psalms 133)

Where is Zion?: Christ Ahnsahnghong reminded us.


Christ Ahnsahnghong reminded us to...(John 14:26).

"Look upon Zion, the city of our festivals; your eyes will see Jerusalem..." (Isaiah 33:20)

What distinguishes Zion?

The place where the Feasts of God are kept is Zion, and in that place, God promised to bestow His blessing of eternal life. (Psalms 132:13-14, Psalms 133:1-3)

What are God's Feasts?

Is Christmas one of God's festivals? No--check your Bibles, you will not find one line about Christmas being celebrated by God's people.

Is Easter one of God's festivals? Well, ask yourself, "Who is 'Easter'?", and then look it up in the enclycopedia. You may be surprised at what you learn. Additionally, I cannot recall ever seeing Jesus Christ mention her ("Easter") in the Bible, nor did the apostles or early saints ever refer to her.

Is Sunday worship one of God's festivals? The early church kept the Sabbath day (the 7th day, which is Saturday). Sunday worship originated in 321CE, as Roman Emperor Constantine (who worshiped the sun-god) endeavored to unite the Christian and pagan churches. He declared Sunday a "holiday", calling it the "venerable day of the sun".

When Isaiah testified about God's Feasts, he was not talking about Christmas, Easter, Sunday worship, or Mardi Gras; these festivals have no promise of God.

Then, what are God's Festivals?
