Biblical Characters - Jeremiah 1(Christ Ahnsahnghong&Jerusalem Mother-wmscog)

Jeremiah was a prophet of Judah, who proclaimed God's judgment on the Jews who had abandoned God's laws and delivered God's message to return to God's decrees.


Birthplace

He was a son of Hilkiah the priest.

He lived in Anathoth which was about 3 miles away from Jerusalem and proclaimed God's word to the people, having been called by God when young.

God Chose Him

Jer 1:5 『"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."』

As it is written above, Jeremiah was appointed as a prophet before his birth.


His Working Period

He began to proclaim God's words from the 13th year of King Josiah, and prophesied God's will for about 40 years until the destruction of Judah. Five kings ruled while he prophesied.


Historical Background

Tens of years passed after the northern kingdom of Israel, which had left God and worshiped idols, was destroyed by Assyria. When the rebelliousness of Israel was almost forgotten, the southern kingdom of Judah was following the same path Israel walked.

Jer 3:8 『I gave faithless Israel her certificate of divorce and sent her away because of all her adulteries. Yet I saw that her unfaithful sister Judah had no fear; she also went out and committed adultery.』
For a long time, the priests and leaders had been corrupt, and the people followed them.

To make them realize how corrupt they were, God appointed King Josiah and recovered His decrees and laws through him.

However, after King Josiah died, the people of Judah began to worship idols and to gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion again. They stirred up God's anger.

They depended on the power of the strong countries rather than God, and followed the pagan faith rather than kept the faith in God. Judah became more corrupted by the false faith which was combined with the paganism.

However, they believed that they were believing in God in the right way, and ridiculed God's prophets. They practised lawlessness, not knowing that a great disaster and judgment was coming upon them.


God's Will

What was God's will when He appointed Jeremiah?

What God wanted was not judgment, but salvation. The fact that people left the law of God means that they worshiped other gods.

'We did nothing wrong, but we changed God's law just a little bit.'

'Will God bring judgment on us because we don't keep His law in the way He told us to keep it?'

It was the same as now that there were many people who neglected God's law. They worshiped other gods, leaving God. But they didn't think that they were worshiping other gods at all. They thought that they were worshiping God well.
When the Israelites worshiped the golden calf in the desert, they insisted that they were worshiping God who had brought them up from the land of Egypt, didn't they? (Ex 32:4)

Jeroboam king of Israel in the north also made two golden calves and said, 'Here are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt.'

Jer 7:9-11 『"'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" … Has this house, which bears my Name, become a den of robbers to you?'』

God rebuked the people of Judah severely through Jeremiah, but they still did evil even more and neglected God's law.

Jer 8:4-7 『"Say to them, 'This is what the LORD says: "'When men fall down, do they not get up? When a man turns away, does he not return? Why then have these people turned away? Why does Jerusalem always turn away? They cling to deceit; they refuse to return. … Even the stork in the sky knows her appointed seasons, and the dove, the swift and the thrush observe the time of their migration. But my people do not know the requirements of the LORD.』

If prophet Jeremiah had praised the leaders and the priests, he would have been acknowledged and respected by them.

However the priests and leaders, and even the people followed false doctrines and worshiped idols. Curse and disasters were proclaimed to come upon those who had left God's law through the lips of prophet Jeremiah.

Jer 6:18-19 『Therefore hear, O nations; observe, O witnesses, what will happen to them. Hear, O earth: I am bringing disaster on this people, the fruit of their schemes, because they have not listened to my words and have rejected my law.』

Biblical Knowledge - The earthly sanctuary and the heavenly sanctuary(Church of God)

The earthly sanctuary and the heavenly sanctuary


As mentioned, the earthly sanctuary built by Moses was the shadow of the heavenly sanctuary where Christ would offer the true sacrifices as the mediator in the future.

When we pray to God at the appointed times every day and on the Sabbath day, Christ serves as priest in the heavenly sanctuary, so our prayers go up before God with the smoke of the incense to be answered. At the prayer times in God's commanded feasts, too, Christ serves as priest and mediator in the heavenly sanctuary, so we are able to communicate with God.

※ Mediator is the one who goes between two groups or persons to help them work out their differences and come to agreement. Christ became the fellowship offering to reconcile us to God. He was the mediator between God and us. He turned the heart of God to their children and the hearts of the children to God by establishing the new covenant (Heb 9:15; Ro 3:25).

The Apostle Paul wrote that the saints in the Old Testament times kept the feasts of God on earth and the saints in the New Testament times are keeping the feasts of the new covenant in heaven (Heb 12:22-23).

Therefore, through the regulations kept in the earthly sanctuary, we can understand the heavenly sanctuary and the meaning of the feasts which are kept in the heavenly sanctuary. Unless we understand the heavenly sanctuary, we can never understand the feasts of the new covenant nor observe them.

Christ is still mediating for us in the heavenly sanctuary. He causes the prayers of the saints to come before God at the times of regular burnt offering, of the Sabbath day services and of the feasts. Let us give thanks to Christ for His mediation and keep the decrees and laws of God holy so that we can have the forgiveness of our sins.

Biblical Knowledge - The tabernacle in the land of Canaan (WMS COG)

The tabernacle in the land of Canaan

After entering the land of Canaan, the tabernacle which was made in the period of Moses was set up in Shiloh, and the ark of the covenant of God was placed in the tabernacle (Jos 18:1).
There were much meandering in the period of the judges. The ark of the covenant was in Shiloh until the time of Eli the judge. When the Israelites had a battle against the Philistines, Israelites fought against them with the ark of the covenant at the head to win the battle, but in the end a lot of people died and the ark of the covenant was stolen (1 Sa 4:1-22).
The Philistines placed the ark of the covenant in Dagon's temple. When they rose the next day, there was Dagon, fallen on his face on the ground before the ark of the God. They took Dagon and put him back in his place. But the following morning when they rose, there was Dagon, fallen on his face on the ground before the ark of God.
They feared God of Israel and moved it to another place, but God brought a big disaster on that area, so the ark was moved to Beth Shemesh which is located around Israel (1 Sa 6:1-18).
But God struck down the men of Beth Shemesh, putting 50.070 of them to death because they had looked into the ark of God. The people mourned because of the heavy blow God had dealt them. Afterwards the ark was moved to Kiriath, and stayed in the house of Abinadab and remained there for 20 years (1 Sa 6:19-7:3).

Biblical Charaters - Nehemiah (Church of God&Jerusalem Mother)

Nehemiah is a prophet who completed his duty of rebuilding the wall of city Jerusalem, depending absolutely on God and fighting against those who interrupted the work of rebuilding.

Historical Background

When Judah was destroyed by Babylon, the Jerusalem temple was destroyed as well. Afterward in B.C. 537, King Cyrus of Persia who conquered Babylon was moved by the LORD God and made a proclamation and put it in writing to build the Jerusalem temple (Ezra 1:1-4).

However, afterward the enemies such as Rehum and Shimshai sent a letter to the king of Persia [Artaxerxes] and denounced that the Jews would rebel against him. Then the building of the temple was stopped for 15 years.

In the second year of Darius of Persia (B.C. 520), as prophets Haggai and Zechariah prophesied, the building of the temple began again.

This time also there were enemies who interrupted the work.

They sent a letter to King Darius, but because he knew what happened in the past, he commanded the Jews to build the temple in Jerusalem as King Cyrus did. He also let it be written that some of the tax to the king could be used for building the temple, and that if there was anyone who interrupted the building of the temple, he would be hung from a beam of his house and that if the kings destroyed the Jerusalem temple, he wanted God to destroy them.

So in the 6th year of King Darius (B.C. 516), the temple was completed.


Nehemiah Became a Governor of Judah

In the time of King Artaxerxes of Persia (who was different from the former king, Artaxerxes), there was a cupbearer to the king called Nehemiah. He feared God and kept His laws.

In the 20th year of King Artaxerxes, Nehemiah's brother Hanani and other men came to the citadel of Susa of Persia from Jerusalem in Judah and said to Nehemiah about Jerusalem, "The wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its gates have been burned with fire." When Nehemiah heard this, he wept and for some days he mourned and fasted and prayed before God.

One day in the month of Nisan, Nehemiah went before the king to give him wine. King Artaxerxes noticed that Nehemiah was sad and asked him for the reason. He told the king that his people were in suffering and the Jerusalem wall had been broken down and its gates had been burned with fire. Then he asked the king to let him go to rebuild the Jerusalem wall.

The LORD God moved the king, and he appointed Nehemiah to the governor of Judah and allowed him to rebuild the wall of Jerusalem.

The king made the keeper of the king's forest give Nehemiah timber, and for a safe travel to Jerusalem the king also sent army officers and cavalry with Nehemiah with letters to the governors. Nehemiah promised the king that he would come back in 12 years and left to Jerusalem.


Building the Wall of Jerusalem

When Sanballat the Horonite who was the governor of Samaria, and Tobiah who followed him heard that Nehemiah the governor of Judah came to rebuild Jerusalem, they were very disturbed and began to think how to interrupt him.

Nehemiah arrived in Jerusalem and saw the walls broken down, and its gates destroyed by fire. He gathered the priests and nobles and officials and explained that God had moved King Artaxerxes and that he had been appointed as governor for rebuilding the wall.

Ne 2:17 『 … "You see the trouble we are in: Jerusalem lies in ruins, and its gates have been burned with fire. Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, and we will no longer be in disgrace."』

The people heard Nehemiah and began to rebuild the wall in teams. Every family including that of the priests participated in the rebuilding of the wall delightfully.
Sanballat from Samaria became angry and was greatly incensed when he heard that the Jews were rebuilding the wall. He ridiculed them, "What are those feeble Jews doing? Will they restore their wall? Will they offer sacrifices? Will they finish in a day? Can they bring the stones back to life from those heaps of rubble-burned as they are?" Tobiah who was at his side said, "What they are building-if even a fox climbed up on it, he would break down their wall of stones!"

However, Nehemiah and the Jews didn't care them and concentrated on rebuilding the wall and prayer. Then God helped the Jews and frustrated the enemies' plot. They all began to rebuild the wall.

Half of Nehemiah's men participated in the work of rebuilding, while the other half were equipped with spears, shields, bows and armor. Each of the builders wore his sword at his side as he worked. Every man who rebuilt the wall stayed inside Jerusalem at night to guard the wall and worked during the daytime. Nehemiah and his brothers and his men didn't even take off the clothes and participated in guarding and rebuilding the wall.

When the wall was almost completed, Sanballat, Tobiah and other enemies sent letters to Nehemiah and asked him to meet together. He knew their purpose was to harm him and refused to meet them and prayed to God even harder.

The enemies plotted again. They hired Shemaiah and made him give a wrong prophecy to Nehemiah. To intimidate the heart of Nehemiah, Shemaiah said to him, "Let us meet in the house of God, inside the temple, and let us close the temple doors, because men are coming to kill you-by night they are coming to kill you."
However Nehemiah was concentrating only on rebuilding Jerusalem according to God's will, so the threat of the enemies didn't work.

The wall was completed 52 days after they began to rebuild it, fighting with the enemies. When the enemies heard about this, all the surrounding nations were afraid and lost their self-confidence, because they realized that this work had been done with the help of God.

After the wall was rebuilt and Nehemiah set the doors in place, the gatekeepers and the singers and the Levites were appointed. He put his brother Hanani in charge of Jerusalem, along with Hananiah the commander of the citadel.

Nehemiah let the gates of Jerusalem be opened when the sun became hot, and made the appointed residents guard the wall. In the seventh month, all people gathered and learned the laws of God through Ezra the prophet and kept the Feast of Tabernacles holy.

They decided to keep all the laws of God such as the Sabbath day, Sabbath year and each annual feast. They also decided to make the priests serve for the sanctuary by making the people offer tithes, and not to intermarry with the Gentiles.

12 years passed and Nehemiah went back to Persia as he promised the king. Afterward, Nehemiah was allowed again by the king to return to Jerusalem.

When he returned to Jerusalem, he found out that Eliashib had provided Tobiah, who had disturbed building the wall, a large room in the temple, formerly used to store the grain offerings and incense and temple articles, and also the tithes of grain, new wine and oil prescribed for those who served for the temple, as well as the contributions for the priests.
Nehemiah learned about the evil thing and threw all Tobiah's household goods out of the room. He had the room purified, and then made that room to be used as the way it should be. He also found out that people didn't offer offerings properly to those who served for the temple, so they all had gone back to their own fields. So he reformed the system so that they could serve for the temple again.

Nehemiah also found out an evil thing that some Jews were treading winepresses on the Sabbath and bringing in grain and loading it on donkeys. They were bringing various things into Jerusalem to sell them on the Sabbath day.

Nehemiah rebuked the nobles of Judah and said to them, "What is this wicked thing you are doing-desecrating the Sabbath day?" And when evening shadows fell on the gates of Jerusalem before the Sabbath, he ordered the doors to be shut and not opened until the Sabbath was over.

Moreover, he rebuked those who intermarried with the Gentiles. He found out that a grandson of a priest became the son-in-law of Sanballat and evicted the priest out. By doing so, he made everything be prepared for the Israelites to worship God.


Teachings for Us

Here ended the records about Nehemiah the righteous man and prophet.

The history of rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem by Nehemiah is a symbol of the history of building the spiritual city Jerusalem. So it has a very important meaning in this age when the new Jerusalem is being built.

Nehemiah worked for God's glory and loved Jerusalem where God's holy name was. We are impressed by his thought and faith.

In the period when kings' words were as powerful as laws, to look sad in front of a king could mean death. However Nehemiah didn't hesitate but went to the king and asked him to let him go to Jerusalem.
Nehemiah was so eager to rebuild the wall of Jerusalem which God loved that he didn't fear the enemies who interrupted his rebuilding the wall but kept building it, depending on God who created the heavens and the earth.

Those who are like Sanballat and Tobiah are interrupting our building the wall of Jerusalem today. If there were no interruption today, there would have been no interruption in the time of Nehemiah. Because the history of building the physical Jerusalem city is a copy, and the history of building the new Jerusalem in this age is the reality.

Just as most people interrupted Nehemiah, people around us, those who do not want the new Jerusalem to be built, are interrupting us. Their interruption will last until the new Jerusalem is completed.

When the earthly Jerusalem was almost completed, the enemies gave a false prophecy to intimidate Nehemiah and the Jews. The same thing will happen in the last days.

What is certain is that the enemies cannot stop God's work. The enemies attacked Nehemiah to stop his building the wall but God frustrated their plot. Therefore in building the new Jerusalem also, Christ Ahnsahnghong will frustrate the enemies' plot and help us, so we don't have to fear them.

As in the time of Nehemiah people built the wall with arms with them, we should also keep building new Jerusalem, fighting against those who interrupt the work.

When we keep faith in the Holy Spirit and the Bride, fight a good faith for building the new Jerusalem and overcome all interruptions, we will have the name of new Jerusalem and the new name of Jesus written on our foreheads.

Rev 3:11-12 『I am coming soon. … 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 … the new Jerusalem, … and I will also write on him my new name.』

BIblical Knowledge-History fo Israel 1(Church of God&Christ Ahnsahnghong)

▶ Why do we have to learn the history of Israel?

It is because we can know what we, the spiritual Israelites, will experience through the history of the physical Israel.

Let's understand what will happen to us, through the prophetical parts of the physical Israelite history, not through the political parts so that we can have appropriate faith as the sons and daughters of God.

Let's classify the history of Israel briefly.

1) From Adam to Noah
2) From Noah to Abraham
3) From Abraham to Moses
4) From the Exodus to the Period in Canaan That of the Judges
4) From the Exodus to the Period in Canaan and That of the Judges

5) Period of the Kings
6) Period of the Separated Kingdoms
7) Time of the Babylonian Exile and Return from the Exile
8) Jesus' Birth and Jerusalem's Fall and Restoration

▶ 1. From Adam to Noah

The line from Adam, the forefather of mankind, to Noah is written in detail in Genesis chapter 5. As the number of men increased, mEn's wickedness became great. So God judged them by water.

This judgment was written down as a warning for us, on whom the fulfillment of the ages has come.

Mt 24:37-39 "As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man."

2 Pe 3:6 "By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed.

By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men."


▶  2. From Noah to Abraham

After the flood in the days of Noah, men tried to build a Babel city so that they wouldn't be scattered, but God confused their language. Their plan to build the Babel city failed, and they were scattered over the face of the whole earth.

Afterward God's blessings were given to Abraham, a righteous man. Abraham lived in Ur of the Chaldeans with his father Terah, and moved to Haran. Then he moved to the land of Canaan as God had commanded him (Ge 11:31-12:5).

▶ 3. From Abraham to Moses

(1) Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, Jacob the father of 12 sons. The 11th son, Joseph, was sold to Egypt because his brothers were jealous of him (Ge 37:1-36).

(2) Joseph who was sold to Egypt became a ruler of all Egypt by God's grace (Genesis chapters 39-41).

(3) Joseph's brothers went down to buy grain from Egypt because of a shortage of food due to the seven years of famine in Canaan. They met Joseph, who had become a ruler of Egypt. Then Jacob and his family moved to Egypt, leaving Canaan to live there (Genesis chapters 39-47).

(4) Joseph and all people in that age died, and a new Pharaoh who didn't know Joseph made Jacob's offspring slaves and mistreated them. The Israelites prayed God earnestly to save them from the slavery. God heard their prayers and had Moses be born.

* Pharaoh : Hebrew- , Greek - φαραώ

It was the title of the kings of Egypt. In the Egyptian language the word pharaoh means "great house." This word was originally used to describe the palace of the king.


▶ 4. From the Exodus to the Period in Canaan and That of the Judges

(1) The Exodus was a great event through which the Israelites who had been slaves in Egypt experienced God's great power (Ex 12:1-51). By keeping the Passover they were saved from a dreadful disaster in which every Egyptian firstborn―both men and animals―were killed.

They crossed the Red Sea by the power of God and began their journey in the desert.

After the Israelites crossed the Red Sea, they received the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai. They set up the tabernacle on the first day of the first month the next year (Exodus chapters 19, 20, 35, 36 and 40).

(2) When the Israelites arrived near Canaan, 12 spies were sent to explore the land. They spread a bad report about it, and the Israelites had to wander in the desert 40 years because of the spies' bad report (Numbers chapters 13-14).

(3) After 40 years, the Israelites who followed God could conquer the land of Canaan, being led by Joshua (Joshua chapters 1-24).

(4) In the land of Canaan whenever the Israelites worshiped idols, they were conquered and oppressed by the pagans. Whenever such a thing happened, God appointed a leader. The leaders were called judges.

※ Judges → military heroes or deliverers who led the nation of Israel against their enemies during the period between the death of Joshua and the establishment of the kingship. The judges are not transmitted from generation to generation.

Biblical knowledge - The time of prayer and calculation of time(wms cog)

There are many customs, handed down from Rome. Calendar, the days of the week, the calculation of time are all from Rome. Now a day begins at midnight, and it is divided into 24 hours. This calculation of time that we use now is the 'Roman calculation of time.'


Before the Roman calculation of time was used generally, every country had a different time calculation. In the days of Jesus, daytime was divided into 12 hours, and nighttime was divided into 4 watches (One watch of the night is about 3 hours).

Mt 20:1-16 "For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire men to work in his vineyard. … sent them into his vineyard. "About the third hour he went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing. … So they went. "He went out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour and did the same thing. About the eleventh hour he went out … "When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, 'Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last ones hired and going on to the first.' The workers who were hired about the eleventh hour came and each received a denarius. So when those came who were hired first … began to grumble against the landowner. 'These men who were hired last worked only one hour,'

Those who were hired at the eleventh hour worked one hour, and when they worked one hour, evening came. It proves that there were 12 hours from sunrise to sunset.

The Jews decided to call the time of sunrise 0 o'clock and the time of sunset 12 o'clock. Science was not developed enough to exactly calculate 60 minutes as one hour and the length of daytime in summer and that in winter were different, so the length of an hour was irregular.

The people at that time used the sundial. They stood up a stick on the ground and graduated around the stick's circumference. It wasn't possible to know the exact time like now. However we can assume that they had a kind of concept about time.
In the days of Jesus, there was about 6-hour-difference between the Jewish time calculation and the Roman time calculation.

※ This is when we assume that the time of sunrise is 6 a.m. according to the Roman calculation of time (because sunrise time differs every day.)

The reason we study the time calculation in the days of Jesus is because the time Jesus was crucified on the cross and the time He died were appointed to be the times of prayer.

Mk 15:25-37 "It was the third hour [9 a.m. in Roman time] when they crucified him. … And at the ninth hour Jesus … breathed his last."

The apostles appointed the 3rd hour, the time Jesus was crucified, and the ninth hour, the time Jesus died, as the times of prayer, and they prayed to God at that times every day.

The apostles were filled with the Holy Spirit at about the third hour [9 a.m.] while praying in the day of the Pentecost (Ac 2:1-15).

* the third hour ― KJV
nine in the morning ― NIV

The Apostles Peter and John went up to the temple at the time of prayer, at the ninth hour [3 p.m.] (Ac 3:1).

* the ninth hour ― KJV
three in the afternoon ― NIV

※ Sunrise time differs according to the season, so the 3rd and 9th hours in the Jewish time are 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. in summer, and 10 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. in winter. It is because the sun rises late and sets early in winter.

For calculating the nighttime, the Jews used the unit, 'watch.' It is the translation of the Hebrew word, (ashmurah). Night was divided into 3 watches according to the hebrew watchmen's changing time.

In the New Testament times, the Greek word 'Φυλακή (Phulake)' was used for calculating the nighttime, which means 'watch, warning, watchman, prison.' Night was divided into 4 watches according to the Roman watchmen's changing time.

Lk 12:38 "even if he comes in the second or third watch of the night."

Mt 14:25 "During the fourth watch of the night Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake."

Biblical Characters - Gideon (wms cog & Heavenly Mother)

Gideon was a judge in around 1,200 B.C.. When the Israelites were oppressed by Midian, he was called by God and defeated the Midianites.


☆ Sin of Israel

The Israelites came out of Egypt and entered the land of Canaan. As time passed, they began to forget God who had led them with His mighty power.

They intermarried with Gentiles and worshiped pagan gods such as Baal and Asherah. Whenever they did such corrupted things, the Israelites were oppressed by other peoples.

In the time of Gideon, son of Joash from the tribe of Manasseh, the Israelites suffered under the oppression of Midian for 7 years. They were afraid of Midianites and lived in mountain clefts, caves and strongholds. Whenever the Israelites planted their crops, the Midianites, Amalekites and other eastern peoples invaded the country and ruined the crops and did not spare a living thing for Israel. When they threshed wheat, they had to be careful not to be found by the Midianites. They had no other choice but to pray to God.


☆ God chose Gideon


God heard the prayer of the Israelites and chose Gideon as a judge. God decided to save Israel out of the hand of Midian through him.

Gideon was threshing wheat in a winepress to keep it from Midianites when he met God. That same night he tore down Baal's altar and cut down the Asherah pole beside it, and then built altar and offered a bull as a burnt offering to God (Jdg 6:25).

Next day, the neighbors found out that Baal's altar had been torn down and Asherah had been cut down. They tried to kill Gideon.

Then Joash, Gideon's father, told them instead of Gideon, "Are you going to plead Baal's cause? Are you trying to save him? If Baal really is a god, he can defend himself." So that day they called Gideon "Jerub-Baal."

* Jerub-Baal means "Let Baal contend with him" (Jdg 6:26-32).


☆ Battle with Midian

Soon all Midianites, Amalekites and other eastern peoples joined forces and crossed over the Jordan and camped. Gideon contacted each tribe of Israel and gathered an army.

Before fighting against his enemy, he wanted to make sure that God was with him. So he asked God, "I will place a wool fleece on the threshing floor. If there is dew only on the fleece and all the ground is dry, then I will know that you will save Israel by my hand, as you said." And the next day he found that there was dew only on the fleece and that all the ground was dry. He double checked that God was with him and went to the battle field with faith in God.


☆ A hundred and thirty five thousand to three hundred

The enemy had 135,000 soldiers and Israel had 32,000. However, God said to Gideon, "You have too many men for me to deliver Midian into their hands. In order that Israel may not boast against me that her own strength has saved her," and "Anyone who trembles with fear may turn back and leave for home." Then 22,000 turned back and 10,000 were left. God said again that 10,000 was still too many and selected only 300 soldiers.

From the view of man it is impossible that 300 soldiers defeat 135,000 soldiers. However, if there is God's help, only 3 men can beat 135,000.


☆ Gideon's victory

Gideon had to fight against 135,000 soldiers with only 300 men. What was required of him was an absolute faith in God.

To strengthen his faith God let him hear a conversation of Midian soldiers about a dream (Jdg 7:10-14). Gideon and 300 soldiers attacked the Midianites, blowing the trumpets and smashing the jars and shouting, "A sword for the LORD and for Gideon!"

The Midianites turned on each other with their swords at that dark night and killed each other.

The Israelites wanted Gideon to be their king because he saved them out of the hand of Midian. However, Gideon refused it flatly.

"I will not rule over you, nor will my son rule over you. The LORD will rule over you" (Jdg 8:23).

Through this scene we notice that the Israelites wanted to be ruled by a king rather than by God. Their request was accepted as Saul was anointed in the time of Samuel; they had to obey the king whom they appointed and kneeled down before him.


☆ Teachings for us
We've studied the life of Gideon not to discuss his character, but to learn important how it is to obey God willingly whatever God orders us to do.

Gideon was afraid at first. That is why he tore down Baal's altar at night secretly rather than in the daytime. And that is why he asked God, "Please let there be dew only on the fleece," "Please make the fleece dry this time."

It was impossible for Gideon to win over the Midianites with his own strength. When God promised to help him, he could defeat the great army with only 300 men.

How should we act when God calls us? We can be answered through the history of Gideon who saved Israel, depending on God. And we can learn that it is not human's ability or common sense or wisdom but absolute faith in God that enables us get victory.

What is important is whether he is chosen by God, not what kind of person he is.

Let's absolutely believe in the power of God, who appointed us as the prophets in the last days, and obey God's calling.

Biblical knowledge - Israel (Church of God&Christ Ahnsahnghong)

1. Jacob's another name


Jacob was on the way to his hometown with his family from the house of Laban, his mother's brother. When he crossed the ford of the Jabbok, he sent all his family and possessions across the stream safely, and he was left alone. Then he wrestled with a man till daybreak.

Jacob said that he wouldn't let the man go unless the man blessed him. His hip was wrenched, but he still wanted the man to bless him.

Then the man asked Jacob his name and said, "Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel" (Ge 32:24-28). Thereafter Jacob was called Israel as well as Jacob.

※ Israel : Overcoming a struggle with God


2. Jacob's offspring

Jacob's offsprings are called 'the descendants of Israel,' or 'Israel.'

Ex 11:7 “But among the Israelites not a dog will bark at any man or animal. Then you will know that the LORD makes a distinction between Egypt and Israel.”

Therefore the word, 'Israel,' indicates Jacob or his offspring.


3. The name of the nation

After King Solomon died, Israel was divided into two, south and north. South was called Judah, and Rehoboam who was Solomon's son ruled the areas to which some of the tribe of Benjamin and the tribe of Judah belonged. North was called Israel and 10 tribes belonged to her. Afterwards the prophets called the two countries the house of Israel and the house of Judah (Jer 11:10) [Judah of the south and Israel of the North].

Jerusalem was destroyed by the Roman army in A.D. 70. When the offsprings of Jacob retook their country 1,900 years later, they called it 'Israel.'


4. The spiritual Israel

Israel indicated the children of promise who inherited the land which God gave. In the New Testament times, the chosen people who will inherit heaven through the new covenant are called 'Israel.'

"Peace and mercy to all who follow this rule, even to the Israel of God" (Gal 6:16).

"If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise" (Gal 3:29).

"'But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for out of you will come a ruler who will be the shepherd of my people Israel'" (Mt 2:6).

Eternal heaven will be inherited to the spiritual Israelites, not to the physical Israelites.

Christ Ahnsahnghong Who Restored Us the Tree of Life (Ahnsahnghong)

Christ Ahnsahnghong Who Restored Us the Tree of Life


We, human beings, who lost the tree of life and were destined to die, could have eternal life by God who came in the flesh and allowed the fruit of the tree of life, that is, the bread and wine of the Passover. However, the devil abolished the truth of the Passover at the Council of Nicaea in 325 A.D. It means the tree of life was hidden and no one could have eternal life. We could not expect salvation without the Passover the truth about the tree of life. In this situation, the one who is able to restore the truth of the Passover, that is, the tree of life, is only God as it was 2,000 years ago.

Heb. 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.』

The purpose of Christ coming a second time is for our salvation. To bring us salvation the Passover is absolutely needed. The One who allowed us the Passover truth is Ahnsahnghong.

Therefore, Ahnsahnghong is Christ who came in this age according to all the prophecy of the Bible. He restored the truth of the Passover, the tree of life, and saved us from our sin and death. He is our God.

The Fruit of the Tree of Life Is the Bread and Wine of the Passover.(wms cog)

The Fruit of the Tree of Life Is the Bread and Wine of the Passover


Now, what is important is how to eat Jesus’ flesh and drink His blood, the reality of the tree of life in the Garden of Eden. It is impossible to eat Jesus Himself. Then, what does the words of John 6:53 mean? These words are referred to the words of Matthew 26:17. In this verse, we can find the way to eat the flesh and blood of Jesus.

Matt. 26:17-26 『On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?" He replied, "Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, 'The Teacher says: My appointed time is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.'" So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover. … While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is my body." Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.』

Jesus said that the bread and wine of the Passover is His flesh and blood, that is Jesus Himself. Eating the bread of the Passover and drinking the Passover wine is eating of the tree of life in the Garden of Eden. So far, we have studied that the tree of life is a parable and its reality is Jesus, and the truth through which we can eat Jesus’ flesh and drink His blood is the Passover.

We can understand that the tree of life is allowed to us through the Passover, and that Jesus who allowed us to eat from the tree of life is God.

The Tree of Life Hidden Since the Creation(Christ Ahnsahnghong-wms cog)

There is a very important place in the Bible, which is closely related with our salvation. It is the Garden of Eden. The history of the Garden of Eden shows us the origin of unman beings and their death.
And in the Garden of Eden we can also find the secret of life. After sinning in the Garden of Eden human beings are destined to die. Then, how can we are saved from death?

The Second Coming Christ Ahnsahnghong taught us that only those who eat from the "tree of life" can be saved. For the human beings who sinned by eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, the only way to live is to eat from the tree of life. However, the way to the tree of life was blocked by Satan in A.D. 325.
The Bible prophesied that Jesus would come a second time with the fruit of the tree of life and give eternal life to human beings who were destined to die. It is Ahnsahnghong that brought us the tree of life, so the Church of God believes in Him as the Second Coming Jesus.

Then, what is the tree of life? Is it truly Christ Ahnsahnghong that brought us the tree of life?


The Tree of Life Hidden Since the Creation

Matt. 13:34-35 『Jesus spoke all these things to the crowd in parables; he did not say anything to them without using a parable. So was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophet: "I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden since the creation of the world."』

Jesus revealed the things hidden since the creation through the parables. Among the 66 books, which book has the history of the creation of the world? It is the book of Genesis.

In the book of Genesis there are many parables showing God’s Providence. Among the parables, let’s study the tree of life.

Gen. 2:16-17 『And the LORD God commanded the man, "You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die."』

In the Garden of Eden, God the LORD put the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. And He commanded Adam and Eve not to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. However, they were tempted by Satan and violated the commandment of God. By this, human beings are destined to die and death entered this world through sin.

After Adam and Even sinned in the Garden of Eden, has God ever given us an opportunity to be saved from death? Is there no way to be freed from death?

Gen. 3:22 『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."』

As stated in the above verse, there is only one way for us to live forever. It is to eat from the tree of life.

The Order of Melchizedek (Church of God Ahnsahnghong&God the Mother)

The Bible is a book of prophecy, testifying about Christ. Among the many prophecies about Christ, let’s recognize the Second Coming Christ, Ahnsahnghong, through the character Melchizedek. The order of Melchizedek reveals that Ahnsahnghong is God. We sincerely hope that you will understand the Christ, who has been hidden for ages, so that you may receive salvation.


In B.C. 1920, Melchizedek, king of Salem, was the only priest who blessed Abraham through bread and wine; he had no father, or mother, or genealogy. The Bible prophesies that the Second Coming Christ will follow in the order of Melchizedek. We must recognize the true Christ, who follows in the order of Melchizedek, from the many men who claim that they are the Second Coming Christ.

Throughout the world, only Christ Ahnsahnghong has followed in the order of Melchizedek. Therefore, the members of the Church of God receive Him as their God.

Then, what is the order of Melchizedek?

Is Ahnsahnghong?whom the members of the Church of God believe in?really the Second Coming Christ, who came in the order of Melchizedek?


The Origin of Melchizedek

Heb. 5:11 『We have much to say about this, but it is hard to explain because you are slow to learn.』

Why was it hard for Apostle Paul to explain about Melchizedek, even though he had much to say about him? First of all, let’s study the origin of Melchizedek.

Gen. 14: 18-20 『Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High, and he blessed Abram, saying...Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.』

Melchizedek, king of Salem, received Abraham who was returning from defeating the enemies. Melchizedek blessed Abraham through bread and wine, and then, Abraham gave him a tenth of everything.

When we study the Bible, we must keep in mind that the Old Testament is a copy and a shadow of the New Testament. Melchizedek, mentioned in the book of Genesis, also served as the shadow of a reality which was to come.


Jesus Came in the Order of Melchizedek


Let’s find out, through the Bible, who the reality of Melchizedek is.

Matt. 26:28 『While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is my body." Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins."』

In the Old Testament, the physical Melchizedek blessed Abraham through bread and wine, and in the New Testament, Jesus?the spiritual Melchizedek?blessed His people with eternal life through the Passover bread and wine. Therefore, we can understand that the character Melchizedek represents Jesus.

Heb. 5:8-10 『Although he was a son, he...was designated by God to be high priest in the order of Melchizedek.』

This verse makes it clear that Jesus is the spiritual Melchizedek.


The Explanations About Melchizedek

Apostle Paul said that it was hard for him to explain about Melchizedek. We can find the reason why in the verse below.

Heb 7:1-4 『This Melchizedek...Without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, like the Son of God he remains a priest forever.』

1) "Without father or mother" The Bible acknowledges only those who believe in God as the father or the mother of a man (Matt. 12: 50). Thus, the words, "(Melchizedek is) without father or mother," mean that the spiritual Melchizedek was to be born among unbelievers. As you know, however, Jesus was born of believers: Joseph and Mary.

2) "Without genealogy" In the Bible, "genealogy" refers to the twelve tribes of Israel. The words, "(Melchizedek is) without genealogy," mean that the spiritual Melchizedek would be born among the Gentiles; however, Jesus was born of the tribe of Judah (Matt. 1:1).

These were the characteristics of Melchizedek that Apostle Paul felt were too hard to explain.


The Second Coming Jesus, Ahnsahnghong, in the Order of Melchizedek

In order to fulfill the prophecies of Melchizedek, Jesus is to come a second time. The Bible says that Jesus will come a second time.

Heb. 9:28 『...he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.』

The Second Coming Jesus will fulfill the prophecies of Melchizedek. 1) He will bless us with eternal life through the Passover bread and wine. 2) He will be born among unbelievers ("without father or mother"). 3) He will be born of Gentiles ("without genealogy"). 4) He is God ("without beginning of days or end of life").

Christ Ahnsahnghong is the one who fulfilled all of these prophecies. How can we not believe in Him when all of the prophecies about the Second Coming Jesus testify that Ahnsahnghong is the Christ? The members of the Church of God believe that Ahnsahnghong is the Second Coming Christ?our Savior, who came in the order of Melchizedek?because the words of God testify about Him.

Isa. 25:6 『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 ...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."』

Before the day of judgment comes, please accept Ahnsahnghong, the Second Coming Christ, who fulfilled the prophecies of Melchizedek. Christ Ahnsahnghong blessed us with eternal life through the bread and wine of the Passover. Therefore, He is our Savior.

Even if a man performs a great miracle or wonder, if he has not come in the order of Melchizedek, he cannot be the Second Coming Christ. Thus, although a man may be humble in appearance, if he follows in the order of Melchizedek, he is the Second Coming Christ.

Please recognize the Second Coming Christ through the words of the Bible so that you may receive salvation. The one who follows in the order of Melchizedek is the true God, our Savior.

Triniy - Jesus=Holy Spirit, Ahnsahnghong(WMS COG&Heavenly Mother)

God the Son, Jesus = God the Holy Spirit, Ahnsahnghong


Let’s confirm that God the Son, Jesus, and God the Holy Spirit, Ahnsahnghong, are one God.

Isa. 9:6 『...a son ...will be called Wonderful Counselor... 』

John 14:26 『"But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things..."』

The Son is the Counselor, and the Counselor is the Holy Spirit, so we can easily conclude that the Son, Jesus, is the Holy Spirit.

Therefore, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are not separate, but are one. God the Father-Jehovah, God the Son-Jesus, and God the Holy Spirit-Ahnsahnghong, are one God.


The Holy Spirit Is a Personal Being

The Holy Spirit is not a kind of energy or an electric wave. The Holy Spirit is a personal being who has feelings (Rom. 15:30), who grieves (Eph. 4:30), who speaks (Rev. 2:7), who groans (Rom. 8:26), who intercedes (Rom. 8:26), who testifies about God (John 15:26), who teaches (John 14:26), who gives commands (Rom. 8:29), who keeps us from preaching in certain places (Acts 16:6-7), who thinks (Rom. 8:27), and who has been blasphemed (Matt. 12: 31-32).


John 14:26, NASB 『"But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.』

The Holy Spirit is referred to as "He," meaning that the Holy Spirit is a personal being.

Matt. 28:19 『"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,"』

If the Holy Spirit was not a man with character, but merely an invisible, active power-like an electric wave, or energy-how would it be possible for the Holy Spirit to have a name? The fact that the Holy Spirit has a name proves that the Holy Spirit is a man, with character.

God commanded us to be baptized in the name of the Father, the name of the Son, and the name of the Holy Spirit, because He would administrate His salvation work with three names (of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit) according to each age. By calling out the three names through which God showed His authority, God’s prophets are to baptize people and commemorate God.

God’s name was "Jehovah" when He played the role of the Father, and it was "Jesus" when He worked as the Son. Then, how should we call upon God when He is working as the Holy Spirit?

The name of the Holy Spirit is Ahnsahnghong.

Since God told us to "baptize (people) in the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit," we need to understand that the "Trinity"-God the Father [Jehovah], God the Son [Jesus], and God the Holy Spirit [Ahnsahnghong]-are one God. By this understanding we can receive abundant blessing and we can participate in God’s administration of salvation, which has been carried out through the Trinity.

Trinity - Jehovah=Holy Spirit, Ahnsahnghong(WMS COG&Jerusalem Mother)

God the Father, Jehovah = God the Holy Spirit, Ahnsahnghong


Let’s confirm that God the Father, Jehovah, and God the Holy Spirit are one God. In the Bible, there are frequent references to "the (Holy) Spirit." The Bible teaches us that God is spirit, and that God is holy. Thus, the spirit of God is holy, too. We call the spirit of God "the Holy Spirit."

John 4:24 『God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.』

Apostle Paul wrote-in the book of Corinthians-that God is the Holy Spirit.

1 Cor. 2:10-11 『...but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 』

The (Holy) Spirit could search even the deep things of God (the Father), the things which no one could know. If "the Holy Spirit" and "the spirit of God" were different, how could the Holy Spirit possibly know the thoughts of God? Only the spirit of God-the Holy Spirit-knows the thoughts of God. Therefore, God the Father and the Holy Spirit are one.

2 Tim. 3:16 『All Scripture is God-breathed...』

2 Pet. 1:20-21 『Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation. For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit. 』

The Bible is "God-breathed" and it was written by the prophets, "as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit." This clearly testifies that God the Father, Jehovah, is the Holy Spirit.

The Bible = God-breathed book The Bible = A book written by prophets being carried along by the Holy Spirit Therefore the Holy Spirit is God.

Therefore, the Holy Spirit, Ahnsahnghong, and God the Father, Jehovah, are one God.
