Second Coming Christ
The Meaning of Jesus Coming in the Clouds
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…
The Bible calls Jesus the “High Priest in the Order of Melchizedek.” What does it mean?
The Meaning of Order The word order from the “Order of Melchizedek” refers to the order of performing priestly duty. In the earthly temple, many priests took turns performing the same priestly duty. And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest’s office before God in the order of his course . . . Lk 1:8, KJV The Order of Aaron and the Order of Melchizedek In the Bible there are two orders of priesthood: the Order of Aaron and the Order of Melchizedek. Aaron, the older brother of Moses, became the first high priest after the Law of Moses was established in the Old Testament times. The Order of Aaron is an expression that represents the priesthood…
Clouds and the Flesh
In the Old Testament, there were many prophecies concerning the coming of Christ. Two thousand years ago, however, it was very difficult for the religious leaders to accept Jesus as Christ because He was to come in secret. That is why the Apostle John wrote as follows: “Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist” (1 Jn 4:2-3). This shows that at that time it was difficult to believe that Christ came in the flesh. Therefore, one of the most important ideas which the saints of the early Church had was that Christ came…
The Bible says that Jesus will come in clouds or in blazing fire when He comes to this earth again. Does it mean that He will come in clouds and judge the world with fire?
Most Christians think that the day of the Last Judgment is the day when Jesus, who came as the Savior 2,000 years ago, comes to this earth again. They commonly imagine the scene where Jesus comes on the clouds floating in the sky and execute judgment by fire immediately and the saved people enter the kingdom of heaven. However, the Bible does not teach that. Jesus’ coming in clouds and His coming in blazing fire The appearance of Jesus who comes on the clouds is different from that of Jesus who appears in blazing fire. So, the time and purpose of His first coming is also different from those of His second coming. “At that time the sign of the…
Seek David in the Last Days
Every word in the Bible contains the precious will of God, which He wants us to know. Now, the Bible has been translated into over 2,000 languages, and it is the best-selling and the most widely distributed book in the world today. However, most people, even though they read the Bible, do not realize the hidden meaning of the words of every prophecy in the Bible. Every language has its own characteristics, so it is not easy to fully understand the nuances of a language except for its native people. Likewise, the language of the kingdom of God is hard to understand; it can only be understood by the people of God. We, God's people, know well what the Spirit…
Christ Ahnsahnghong Who Has Brought Us the Tree of Life
God has given mankind the Bible in order to ultimately save their souls. Through the Bible, we must meet God our Savior. The Bible contains many parables. Among them, the history of the Garden of Eden in the book of Genesis shows us how men committed sin in heaven and were cast down to the earth. If we realize the true meaning hidden in this parable, we will be able to break the chain of death that binds us. The Bible says that there are two kinds of people: those who are given the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, and those who are not (Mt 13:10-16). Those who are given the knowledge of the secrets are…
Melchizedek and Christ
The 66 books of the Bible contain many mysteries of God. When we figure out the mysteries one after another, we are able to understand God's long-term plan for our salvation. Among God's mysteries, the greatest mystery is Christ. Only when we realize Christ who is the mystery of God, we are able to receive the blessing of salvation and find all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge hidden in Him (Col 2:2-3). The Bible, which gives us the wisdom leading to salvation, testifies about Christ who is the mystery of God (2 Ti 3:15-17; Jn 5:39). Among the many mysteries of the Bible, let's study the prophecies about Melchizedek so that we can understand Christ who is the source…
The Value of the New Name
Receiving God means believing in His name (Jn 1:12). We, who are in Zion, already know the name of God―the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. We've received the Christ who has come in the new name and become witnesses testifying to the new name, the Savior's name in the age of the Holy Spirit. We pray in the new name and praise the new name; we've been saved by believing in the new name. God's name has great power in the spiritual world. Now, let's consider how great the new name, the Savior's name in the age of the Holy Spirit, is, how valuable the name of His Bride, the new Jerusalem…
The Reason Why God Came in the Flesh
When we see sacred paintings of Christ, the glorious image of His countenance is divinely pictured. Then, 2,000 years ago, what did people think of Jesus? What did they think of the Church that Jesus established? What did they think of the good news of the heavenly kingdom that Jesus preached? Without thinking of these matters, we cannot say we really know Christ. Christ is God Himself in nature (Php 2:5), and Mighty God the Father (Isa 9:6). However, the Jews tried to stone Jesus to death when He said, "I and the Father are one." According to the law of Moses, he who profaned God had to be put to death. They thought that Jesus committed blasphemy by saying…
The Coming of Christ Ahnsahnghong
2,000 years ago, Jesus was born on this earth to save mankind. He was baptized at the age of 30, and preached the gospel of the new covenant during His public ministry of about three and a half years. After finishing His mission, He went up to heaven. When Christ ascended to heaven, He promised to come back to this earth (Ac 1:6–11). 2018 is a very meaningful year that marks the 100th birth anniversary of Christ Ahnsahnghong—Jesus who has come a second time according to the prophecies of the Bible. Let us find out why God has come to this earth, through the Bible. The dark world where the truth is obscured After Jesus’ ascension, there were many changes…
