Words of the Bible
The Bible enables us to be wise for salvation (2 Ti 3:15). Let us learn the true will of God from it.
Why did Jesus come in the human form though He is Almighty God?
God can surely appear in the human form if He wants. God is omnipotent and omniscient. God has the power to choose to be or not to be in the flesh. Then, why did God Himself come to the earth as a fragile baby and son? We can easily understand…
There are many people in the world who claim to follow Jesus. Why is it, then, that they do not keep the new covenant Jesus established?
The purpose of Jesus’ coming to this earth is to give eternal life to human beings who are destined to die because of their sins. In order to lead us to salvation, Jesus established the new covenant on the day of the Passover and became a sin offering for us,…
The Biblical Sabbath Is Saturday. Then, Why Do Most Churches Worship on Sunday?
It is clear that the Biblical Sabbath is Saturday, the seventh day of the week. The early Church kept the Sabbath day holy according to the teachings of the Bible (Ac 17:2; 18:4). Then, why do most churches today worship on Sunday? Let's find out the reason. Sunday and Roman…
Passover
Jesus said to them, “I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.”Jn 6:53 The Passover that makes “disasters pass over” is celebrated at twilight on the fourteenth day of the first month in…
Do Not Boast About Tomorrow
When we look around, there are many people who continue to delay coming to God until later, while acknowledging the necessity of believing in God. They usually say, “Now I want to live my life to the fullest. I will have a religion when I get older,” or, “I need to take care of something urgent right now. Let me believe in God when I get some free time.” However, no one can guarantee that tomorrow, which they plan and dream for, will surely come. Such is life. There was once a strong earthquake in Indonesia, which killed over 5,000 people and injured tens of thousands of people. Since the earthquake occurred early in the morning while people were sleeping,…
Receive God
The Bible contains the will of God, who wants to lead us to the way of truth and righteousness and to make us perfect as His people who will inherit salvation. Some Biblical characters, who graciously received God who came in the flesh 2,000 years ago, are good examples for us who are living today. Through them, let's learn what kind of mindset and faith we should have towards God, so that we can correctly recognize and receive Him and preach the message of salvation boldly to the whole world, saying, "Receive God Elohim who have appeared in this age!" The right given to those who receive God First, let's find out what blessings were given to the people who…
A Stumbling Block to Jews and Foolishness to Gentiles
At the time of the early Church, there was a stumbling block to Jews. Every day they gathered together to plot how to stop the crowd of people who were doing what was a stumbling block to them, how to slander and hinder them from attracting people's attention. What was the stumbling block to the Jews—the thing that they hated the most? It was the preaching of Jesus Christ. God is light, so darkness hates the light (Jn 1:1-14). It is because darkness retreats even when a tiny bit of light shines. What Satan hates the most is revealing God, our Savior in each age: Jehovah in the age of the Father, Jesus Christ in the age of the Son,…
The Mission of Watchmen and Signs of the Present Time
A watchman is a person who keeps watch over something or someone. The mission of a watchman is to keep awake even while people are sleeping and to keep a close eye on things so that he can help people prepare themselves by telling them if there is any sign of an attack from the enemy or of a disaster. God has entrusted the mission of a spiritual watchman to the children of Zion. The mission of a spiritual watchman is to awaken the world with the word of God, whether they listen or not, to help them escape disasters and to lead them to salvation (Eze 3:11, 17-18). Various disasters that are occurring these days are the message of…
Baal & Ashera
1. Baal is a word which indicates ‘master,’ ‘LORD’ Many peoples around the land of Canaan were polytheists. Among many gods, they believed Baal who was called the god of thunder, rain and wealth. Ethbaal king of Tyre was the priest of Baal. His daughter Jezebel was married to the king of Israel not only for the political purpose, but also for the religious one. Jezebel was a missionary of Baal religion. When she was married to King Ahab of Israel, she planted Baal religion in Israel and her purpose was attained for a while. In the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah, Ahab son of Omri became king of Israel, … Ahab … married Jezebel daughter of Ethbaal…
A Testing Stone
There is no one who has not gone through a test all his life. Except for primitive people, no one can live a better life without going through tests. If we pass one test, we need to face another test and pass it in order to make our life much better. It is the same spiritually. We have to pass many tests in order to enjoy eternal life and glory in the everlasting kingdom of heaven, living together with our heavenly Father and Mother forever and ever. Only those who pass every spiritual test can receive all the blessings of God. A cornerstone and a testing stone in Zion God said that He would lay a stone in Zion and…
Faith With Knowledge and Faith With Deeds
There are so many churches in the world today, but most of them do not follow the gospel of the new covenant, which Jesus taught and put into practice as an example for us. Most so-called Christians insist that they can be saved if they just believe in Jesus. They claim to read the Bible, but actually they overlook Christ's teaching described in the Bible that we must have faith with deeds. This is the reality of Christianity. Even though they know the words of God, if they do not put them into practice, they cannot correctly understand God's will contained in the commands and laws of God, nor can they participate in God's work of salvation, either. Knowing can…
Footstool
1. The earth is described as God's footstool in Isaiah chapter 66 This is what the LORD says: “Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. Where is the house you will build for me? Where will my resting place be?”Isa 66:1 2. The ark of the covenant in the Most Holy Place is described as God's footstool “King David rose to his feet and said: ‘Listen to me, my brothers and my people. I had it in my heart to build a house as a place of rest for the ark of the covenant of the LORD, for the footstool of our God, and I made plans to build it.’ ”1 Ch 28:2 “Let us go to…
A Precious Cornerstone in Zion
People expect that God will come with unimaginable glory when He appears on this earth. However, the Bible prophesies that God will come in the most ordinary of ways, so people will not recognize Him and He will be a trap and a snare to them. Then, how can we recognize God who appears in a totally different way than most people expect? Let's take some time to understand God's will for us by studying the history of the Bible. God who comes in secret During the Joseon Dynasty of Korea, there was the Secret Royal Inspector (called Amhaengosa) system. Under the centralized system, a secret royal inspector was dispatched in secret by royal command to travel the countryside to…
Let Us Become God’s Witnesses
God called His people to be witnesses to testify to His name for the work of salvation in each age—as the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit respectively. In the age of the Father, God chose His people to become Jehovah's witnesses and in the age of the Son to become Jesus' witnesses, and in the age of the Holy Spirit God has called us to be witnesses of the Spirit and the Bride, who give the water of life to human beings in this age (Isa 43:10; Ac 1:8; Rev 22:17). The reason why God has chosen us to be His witnesses is because He wants us to display God's glory among all nations of the world by…
The Glory for Those Who Live in Accordance With the Prophecies
The Bible is a book of God's prophecy; not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will never disappear from the Bible until everything is accomplished. Since God is faithful, upright and just, He surely fulfills all that He has planned and purposed. So it is really a beautiful thing to pay attention to the prophecies of God and to live in accordance with God's prophecies; that is the best way to live an upright and righteous life (Isa 14:24; 2 Pe 1:19). Let's take a look at the teachings of the Bible concerning the blessings and glory for those who live in accordance with the prophecies, and think about what kind of life we should live…
Journey to the Center of the Earth
What does it look like under the ground where we are standing? The movie Journey to the Center of the Earth answers this question with an interesting imagination. The world deep inside the earth is depicted as a mysterious place where giant animals run around in a valley, hungry piranhas fill the ocean, and rocks float in the air by a strong magnetic field. Let’s have a journey to the center of the earth, an unknown world where no one has ever visited. Internal structure of the earth, the world under our feet The farthest distance the humans have ever reached is the moon, an average of 384,400 km [238,855 miles] away. Voyager 1, the furthest space probe in space…
“Are You the One Who Was to Come?”
God the Almighty knows everything, but man does not. If God comes to this earth in human likeness to save mankind, men will not be able to recognize Him with their own wisdom. So the Bible says that Christ is the secret of God, and that in Him are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. In order to receive Christ, who is the secret of God, we need to study the Bible, which contains the wisdom of God. Only he who completely trusts in the words of the Bible, written by God who knows everything, is able to recognize God the Redeemer and receive Him. Doubt of John the Baptist 2,000 years ago, God came to this earth…
If Only I May Complete the Task of Testifying to the Gospel
Apostle Paul went through Corinth, Ephesus, Macedonia, Greece, Troas, Assos, and Mitylene, and has arrived at Miletus. While preaching the gospel in various regions, Paul faced many threats and persecutions by disrupters wherever he went. He even had a near-death experience many times. Now it is time to return to Jerusalem after a long journey. He does not know how many trials await him in Jerusalem. Paul says to the elders who have come from Ephesus, “The Holy Spirit warns me that prison and hardships are facing me. However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the gospel…
Proclaim God With Boldness
Now we are standing in the middle of the fulfillment of the prophecy that the gospel of truth will be preached to Samaria and to the ends of the earth. All our brothers and sisters in Zion are earnestly desiring to bear ten fruits in accordance with the Ten Talent Movement. As God's children who have been called earlier, let us think about what kind of faith is required for the movement of saving the world which God has entrusted us with, and what kind of mindset we should have in order to accomplish the task. When we follow the will of God, we will surely get good results. Then, what should we do to accomplish the mission of ten…
The World Being Changed Through Faith
Now our brothers and sisters in Zion are putting their whole heart and mind into the movement of ten talents with faith and hope to please God by saving the whole world according to the prophecies of the Bible, and we are seeing the world being changed graciously through faith in Father and Mother. Especially through the Passover this year, God confirmed to us that everything was being accomplished according to the prophecies. Joyful news poured in from all around the world; each Church was so crowded with the members celebrating the feast, and a Church that had recently branched out with nearly 1,000 members celebrated this Passover with over 1,900 brothers and sisters—some of them even kept the service…
Let’s Boast About God
In Revelation 22, the last chapter of the Bible, we can see the scene where God appears as the Spirit and the Bride on this earth and is leading all human beings to salvation. This is a definite revelation that Apostle John saw and a prophecy that must be fulfilled. The Bible tells us not to add anything to the words of the prophecy of this book or take words away from the book of prophecy (Rev 22:17-19). According to the prophecy, God the Father who is the Spirit and God the Mother who is the Bride are giving the water of life to human beings who are doomed to die forever, and wherever this good news is preached, many…
Ten Talents and Fishers of Men
Since the beginning of the new year 2010, the movement of ten talents has been being carried out actively in Korea and overseas. I believe that our members of Zion are relying on Heavenly Father and Mother through many prayers and requests even at this moment, thinking, ‘How should I save the ten souls entrusted to me?' The movement of ten talents is the movement to save souls, which God has commanded and entrusted us to do. It contains the will of God who wants us to be alert and self-controlled and to prepare our lamps filled with the oil of faith enough to receive Christ with joy when He comes (Mt 25:1-13). Now, through the Bible, let's take some…
Mother of Sacrifice and Love
The Bible says that God is love (1 Jn 4:8). Until we have got where we are today, there have been God the Father who established the new covenant-the truth of life-through His sacrifice and God the Mother who spares no effort to lead us to the eternal kingdom of heaven even at this moment. Father's love is unmeasurable, and Mother's love is even more unfathom-able, so we cannot grasp the depths of Her love for us. From Mother comes the power that enables the members of Zion to help one another and to become united in love. The endless sacrifice and love of Mother are defeating all the hindrances of Satan in the invisible spiritual world and are leading…
God Watches Everything
In God's blessings and grace, the new year has come. Greeting another year in God, I hope that all you people of God will prepare for the eternal kingdom of God by increasing your faith and knowledge of God. There are some people in the world who act as if God does not exist, while confessing with their mouths that God exists. Of course, none of our members in Zion behave that way, but many people around the world do not yet understand the will of God and are ignorant of the existence of God. That's why they indulge in all kinds of bad habits and wrongdoings. God sees and knows all things. So the Bible says that the "God…
