While stopping by the Church of God World Mission Society I was able to learn something new, something I of course never heard about before. It was in the book of Galatians 4:21-26 which speaks about 2 women; the slave woman Hagar representing the old covenant and the free woman Sarah representing the new covenant. But it's strange because while I read this I didn't understand what it meant. Why does God compare the 2 women of the Old Testament in the story of Abraham's heir to 2 covenants? As I continued reading verses 25-26 it says "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." So God used Hagar to tell us about the physical Jerusalem in the Palestine area, but that same God tells us that Sarah represents the heavenly Jerusalem, but this Heavenly Jerusalem is "free" and She is our Mother. I think I understand now. God let us understand in the bible that the things that exist on this earth is actually a copy and shadow of what is in heaven (Hebrews 8:5). So through the Old Covenant I can understand about the Heavenly Jerusalem who is God the Mother. God made it so easy to understand about Heavenly Mother, so the members at the World Mission Society Church of God let the world get a chance to see the testimony with their own eyes rather than interpreting it on their own. It was so new for me to see how all the verses in the bible connect with one another. Unfortunately I can never remember all of the verses so what I can remember I try to make it as clear as I received it. Thanks again to the members at the Church of God World Mission Society for showing me this which now makes so much sense to me. Until next time!

He who belongs to God, hears what Ahnsahnghong says
It's been a couple of days since I went to the Church of God World Mission Society but I was finally able to go to take my mind off everything. I was able to see a verse in the bible that I don't remember ever reading before in John 8:47 which reads "He who belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God." The verse scared me a lot because the following verse we saw was in John 6:58-60 which reads "This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your forefathers ate manna and died, but he who feeds on this bread will live forever....On hearing it, many of his disciples said, "This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?" At the time Jesus was teaching all the disciples that whoever eats His flesh and drinks His blood will live forever, will have eternal life. But on hearing this teaching many of Jesus' disciples deserted Him. That is why I've realized why God said, "He who belongs to God hears what God says."
Nowadays as I come to the World Mission Society Church of God and continue learning I see that this church is the only church that shows this teaching of Christ. The way to receive Jesus flesh and blood is only through the Passover (Matthew 26:17-19 and 26-28). Even though it's so easy and plain to see, I never went to a church that showed me this and explained how to belong to God. The only answer I got was, "it is only by grace; just believe; just have faith". In the bible, you can see that this is not the teaching of Jesus. Then, how does the Church of God World Mission Society know this and boldly preach the Passover to everyone? It is because 2nd Coming Christ Ahnsahnghong has come and reminded us about everything Jesus Christ taught the disciples 2000yrs ago (John 14:26). Ahnsahnghong is Second Coming Christ through the Scriptures, but through my own point of view, he seems just like a normal humble man. One thing Disciple Peter said when all the other disciples deserted Jesus in John 6:68-69 was "Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We believe and know that you are the Holy One of God." Nowadays Ahnsahnghong is the only One to speak the words of eternal life. No one else have I seen speak the words of eternal life. Through this I can understand and realize that Ahnsahnghong truly is the Holy One of God.

If there is a Father, there should be a Mother God
It's what naturally comes to mind when I see a family consisting of only children walking along with their father. Because I don't see their mother, it doesn't mean I completely deny her existence. I've come to realize that it is the same with Heavenly Mother. All my life I've been taught that we are the children of God who have always known and walked with our Father. But as children we can NOT deny our mothers, right? Even when looking through general common sense, it's natural for there to exist a Mother God just as there exists a Father God. I know about God the Father because bible shows us that God is our Father, then for me to want to see the existence of God the Mother, my only source should be the bible.
At the World Mission Society Church of God, I have come to the realization that the members here have departed from their own fixed ideas and humbly receive the word of God as it is. Gen 1:26 says "Then God said let 'US' make man in 'OUR' image and in 'OUR' likeness." Galatians 4:26 says "But the Jerusalem that is above is free and she is our MOTHER". The members of the Church of God World Mission Society deliver the words of the bible as they are. As I've always been told, "the bible doesn't need to be interpreted, because the bible interprets itself". Just as there is Heavenly Father, the bibles clearly tells us that there is also Heavenly Mother. Well, til next time.

Mother God the City of Truth
This time around I had a question about Heavenly Mother who the Church of God World Mission Society preaches to the world. I asked them why does the bible consider God the Mother as the Holy City New Jerusalem in the bible? In the Old Testament there are many mentions of Jerusalem, but I forgot that the bible is not just history but also a prophecy and a shadow. So if there is a shadow, there should also be a reality and if there is a prophecy there should be a fulfillment. Then it made a lot of sense why God always speaks of Jerusalem in various ways. One prophecy in the Old Testament, in Zechariah 8:3 to be exact, says "This is what the LORD says: 'I will return to Zion and dwell in Jerusalem. Then Jerusalem will be called the City of Truth, and the mountain of the LORD Almighty will be called the Holy Mountain.' "
God Himself says that He will return to Zion and dwell in Jerusalem and Jerusalem will be called (in the future) the City of Truth. Everyone who believes in God always wants to know what is truth and how can we find truth. I always prayed for years to God to find the truth and to know truth. God answered my question and made it so simple for me to understand. He said, "Jerusalem will be called the City of Truth." Who is Jerusalem? Galatians 4:26 says, "but the Jerusalem that is above is free and she is our mother". The way for me to know the truth in these days is to know who the Jerusalem is through God's point of view, not mine. God is Spirit (John 4:24), so when He speaks about Jerusalem, it's not always about a physical city or temple as I thought. If there is a shadow, there is a reality right? Nowadays only the World Mission Society Church of God believes in the Heavenly Mother the bibles clearly testifies about. According to God's words, the Church that has Jerusalem, the City of Truth, means that God dwells there and the truth is there. I'm so thankful to realize I found the truth which is so difficult to find. I want to know more truths so I will continue asking questions.
