Truth of Life

In Search of Heavenly Mother

Wherever the gospel of the new covenant is preached, our spiritual brothers and sisters are returning to Zion one after another. Many people from all over the world, regardless of nationality, ethnicity, or race, come to Zion because they have seen the light of Heavenly Jerusalem Mother and heard Her voice. God has united a mother and a child into one body. From the beginning, a mother's body and the body of her child are connected as one through the umbilical cord. Since they are originally one body, a mother gives unconditional love to her children, not based on any logical or rational judgment. In fact, we can see that whenever children find themselves in a difficult situation, they long…

The Feast of Tabernacles and the Water of Life

The Feast of Tabernacles is celebrated on the fifteenth day of the seventh month in the sacred calendar and it is the last of the seven feasts in three times. The Feast of Tabernacles commemorates the Israelites’ construction of the tabernacle during their journey in the desert. It is a feast during the autumn harvest. In the Old Testament, this feast is also called the Feast of Booths and the Feast of Ingathering. God established various regulations in the Old Testament as a shadow of the New Testament; He let the feasts contain profound secrets of what would happen in the New Testament times. Let us understand God’s will contained in the Feast of Tabernacles and find out who grants…

The Feast of Trumpets

Among the seven feasts in three times, the first of the autumn feasts is the Feast of Trumpets, followed by the Day of Atonement and the Feast of Tabernacles. The representative feast of the autumn feasts is the Feast of Tabernacles. At the Feast of Trumpets, the Israelites blew the trumpets; they purified their hearts according to the regulations for the feast, and had time for repentance until the Day of Atonement. Trumpets are musical instruments that add strength and vitality to a melody; they are used for various purposes, such as a bugle call announcing the morning and an alarm signaling war. For the Feast of Trumpets, they were used to announce the upcoming Day of Atonement and to…

The Day of Pentecost

The Day of Pentecost in the New Testament is called the “Feast of Weeks” in the Old Testament. After Jesus’ resurrection and ascension 2,000 years ago, God poured out the power of the Holy Spirit upon His people on the Day of Pentecost, so they could powerfully preach the gospel of the kingdom and testify about Jesus Christ to all nations. Christ proclaimed the mission of world evangelism on Ascension Day, but it was the Day of Pentecost that ignited the fire of world evangelism. The Holy Spirit that was poured out at Pentecost became the driving force for the growth of the gospel in the early Church. The disciples were filled with the Holy Spirit and boldly preached Christ.…

The Feast of Unleavened Bread

The Feast of Unleavened Bread is celebrated the day after the Passover. In the New Testament, it is also known as a feast of passion commemorating the Crucifixion. The Feast of Unleavened Bread is associated with agony and pain—the suffering of Christ in the New Testament as well as the affliction of the Israelites in the Old Testament. As the name implies, it is the feast to eat unleavened bread—bread made without yeast—which represents suffering. In the Old Testament, the ceremony of the Feast of Unleavened Bread was celebrated by eating unleavened bread for seven days; in the New Testament, we participate in Christ’s suffering by fasting. God appointed this feast of suffering as a command for us to keep.…

Resurrection Day

Jesus’ resurrection, which took place 2,000 years ago, is a very important event that is essential for every believer’s life of faith. It is natural for people to think that everything ends in death. However, contrary to their thought, Christ showed that we would enjoy eternal life and happiness in Heaven with God, through His resurrection from the dead. On the Resurrection Day, the day Christ came back to life, we commemorate the power of God who broke the chains of death. As the people of Zion, let us study the origin and meaning of the Resurrection Day and march toward Heaven with hope for the resurrection. The Origin of the Resurrection Day God established the seven feasts in three…

Cross Reverence in Babylon

Recently, the number of heavenly family members who realize the truth and come to Zion has been noticeably increasing. Almost everyone who visits the Church of God for the first time mentions one thing; they cannot find any cross in our church. It is very common for people to associate the cross with Christian churches. However, the saints of the early Church, established by Jesus, neither erected the cross nor taught that the cross should be revered as an object or a symbol of faith. The History of Cross Reverence Nowadays, most Christian churches put crosses on steeples and use them to decorate the interior of the church, so most people associate the cross with Christianity. Let us find out…

Christmas and the Birthday of the Sun

At the end of every year, in the month of December, the whole world is abuzz with a festive atmosphere celebrating Christmas. Christmas was established under the pretense of Jesus’ birth and has become a festival celebrated throughout the whole world, transcending religions and nationalities. On the surface, Christmas appears to contain the meaning of Christ’s birth. However, we should keep in mind that if even the smallest part of the truth is changed, it is no longer the truth that contains the promise of God’s salvation. Truth must remain intact, kept pure, and be consistent with the word of God; it must not be contaminated even in the smallest way. Let us see through the Bible whether or not…

The Hidden Manna and Christ Ahnsahnghong

The Bible tells us that the most important thing is to realize Christ, the mystery of God (Col 1:26–27; 2:1–3). 2,000 years ago, Jesus Himself taught that He is the Christ, through manna—the bread of life—from heaven. Most of the people, who had heard Jesus’ words, did not believe in Him and left Him. However, the disciples such as Peter, John and James followed Jesus till the end, realizing that He is the Christ who gives the words of eternal life. Through the New Covenant Passover, Jesus gave the manna from heaven to those who recognized Him. It is the same in this age of the Holy Spirit. God gives the “hidden manna” to those who realize that Christ is…

God’s Promise and Heaven

The old year is gone, and a new year has begun. Looking back at the past, I feel like I have woken from a single night of sleep; all my days have passed by so quickly. This reminds me that the day when we will go to Heaven is drawing nearer. We must be so thankful that we have the Kingdom of Heaven. When Jesus came to this earth 2,000 years ago, He taught that Heaven and Hell really exist and told us to follow the path He had opened for us, so we could all go to Heaven. Then He set us an example of putting into practice all the teachings of truth during His life on earth. We,…

The Path of Life and Heavenly Mother

A path naturally appears as the result of someone consistently walking the same way toward their destination. Originally, there was no path; however, once someone begins to continually walk the same way without swerving to the right or to the left, a path is gradually created, enabling many other people to travel on it. It is the same spiritually. There are only two paths our souls can choose between and follow. One of these paths is the path to Heaven, which has been made by God’s journey between Heaven and Earth for our salvation. The other path is the path to hell, which has been paved by Satan and his followers dragging many souls to hell, after coming to this…

The Commemoration Day of the Creator and the Commemoration Day of the Redeemer

You can easily know which country a person belongs to, when you see the kind of days that the person commemorates. If that person celebrates Independence Day on August 15 and observes Hangul Day [Korean Alphabet Day] on October 9, what country is that person from? If someone celebrates Independence Day on July 4, which country does that person belong to? We can easily figure out that the former is Korean and the latter is American. Likewise, we can easily tell what kind of people belong to the Kingdom of God, through the commemoration days God has established. Nowadays, there are numerous churches like the sand on the seashore. We need to find out if they observe the commemoration day…

The Meaning of the Day of Atonement

The Sabbath and the Seven Feasts in Three Times hold great significance for the salvation of mankind; they are not simply part of the Old Testament law. God saves the people of Zion who keep the feasts; He calls the people, who made a covenant with Him by sacrifice (worship) at the feasts, His consecrated ones (Isa 33:20–24; Ps 50:1–5). In the last days, God will gather His children who endure hardships in order to keep the feasts. They will be given praise and honor among all the peoples of the earth (Zep 3:14–20). Those who keep the feasts of God, cherishing God’s laws, decrees, and regulations, will receive blessings and glory according to God’s promises in the Bible. Among…

The Passover and the Blood of Christ

The Passover is a joyful feast where we receive the forgiveness of sins and eternal life as well as the promise of being the children of God. On the other hand, however, it is a day to commemorate the death of Christ. Since Christ died for us, sinners, we have been freed from the agony of death and received life. So, the Passover is a feast of joy and sorrow as well. We have been saved through the sacrifice of God who shed His blood, carrying our sins on our behalf. As God’s children, we must not think lightly of God’s saving grace that we have received freely, but we should keep in mind again the meaning of God’s holy…

The Passover Is the Truth That Saves

The earth may seem spacious to people in the world, but it is just a tiny dot in the vast universe. The Bible tells us that this earth is like a speck of dust on the scales and a drop in a bucket to God (Isa 40:15). God has established a covenant for us, humans, who live on this small earth. All the decrees, laws, and commandments, which have been given by God who runs the great universe, contain God’s will for us to enjoy eternal life and happiness in Heaven. God has restored the New Covenant Passover and allows us to keep it in this age. This is also God’s special providence and blessing. As people of Zion, we…

Come to Heavenly Father and Mother

Some people think that the Bible is a book full of complicated and difficult stories or that it is merely a guide to wisdom for life. However, the Bible is a book that contains the truth about eternal life. To fully understand the teachings in the 66 books of the Bible, we first need to know that God is our Father and Mother. When we read the Bible carefully, we can understand that God is our Father and our Mother and we are Their children—spiritual brothers and sisters. We have been cast down to this earth since our souls sinned in the angelic world. The Bible contains the will of Heavenly Father and Mother who want us to achieve complete…
