Last Adam and Christ Ahn sahnghong

Jn 5:39   You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life. These are the Scriptures that testify about Me.

 The Bible testifies the Savior, Christ Jesus who gives us the eternal life. Not only first coming but also the second coming is testified in the Bible. There are so many prophecies about His Second Coming. Unless we recognize Jesus for the second time, we can not get the eternal life, God's gift and promise. So let's look into Second Coming Jesus through Last Adam.

1Cor 15:45  So it is written: " The first man Adam became a living being", the Last Adam, a life-giving spirit.

We know the first Adam, but there is the last Adam. He is a life-giving spirit. Who can give us life? Life here is not physical life but spiritual life. In order to receive the eternal life, we must meet the Last Adam. Who is the Last Adam, then?

Rom 5:14 Nevertheless, death reigned...... as did Adam, sho was a pattern of the one to come.

Adam represents a pattern of the one to come. Who is the one to come in the Bible? Referring to Rev 22:20 and Rom 15:15, 16, the one to come is Christ Jesus. If Jesus represents Adam, it must be the Second Coming Jesus in the last age, the Last Adam.

According to the prophecy, what was the purpose of the coming of the Last Adam? To give us eternal life. Then how will he give us the life in the last age?

Jn 6: 54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.

In the last day, who has the eternal life? He who eats Jesus's Flesh and drinks his blood. So the Last Adam who gives the eternal life must allow us to eat and drink Jesus's Flesh and Blood. Then how can we eat Jesus's Flesh and drink his Blood? 

Mt 26:17~19 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?...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.

Mt 26:26~28  While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke ir, and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is my body." Then the took the cup(wine), 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.

Therefore, the Second Coming Jesus must bring the Passover of the New Covenant which gives eternal life to us destined to die. He must be the one who can only bring us the Passover of the New covenant according to the prophecy of the Last Adam.

Who has fulfilled this prophecy in this last age? It's Christ Ahnsahnghong. Only Christ Ahnsahnghong has brought the Passover of the New Covenant in the world. Nobody has taught us and brought us this life-giving truth except him. He is the one who was testified in the Bible as Last Adam and we have been waiting for.
Let's believe in Christ Ahnsahnghong , be saved and go to the kingdom of heaven.

The Reason Why God Came in the Flesh

Have you ever thought that Jesus'  Second Coming in the Flesh? According to the Bible, this fact is clearly testified. Let's look into it.

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 that.

The God of heaven came into this earth and introduced Himself. However, the people, who claimed to serve God, tried to kill Him when He came in the flesh; finally they crucified the One whom they claimed to believe.

It's an irony that they executed God whom they'd worshiped. When we look into the background of this terrible event, we come to know that the religious leaders of those times didn't know God well. Actually they had a god of their own imaginations. They did not have spiritual knowledge of God that He could appear in any form, even in the bodily flesh of man just like one of them.

Then, why did God come in the flesh? Through a short story, let's find the will of God-the reason why He came in the flesh.

God came in the flesh with the message of love and salvation

A traveler, while walking along a quiet country road, saw birds pecking at grains. They looked so cute and the traveler felt like patting their heads.

However, when he drew near to them, they flew and sat down a little ways off. Not knowing the traveler's mind, the birds feared he would harm them. Though he attempted to come near to them several times, they flew away from him each time.

So the traveler came to a conclusion that there was no way to convey his love except to become a bird.
For the same reason Christ came in the flesh. Men always feared God and fled from His presence when they saw His holiness with their own eyes. So, God had to appear as a man in the flesh to deliver His special message of love and salvation.

Ex 20:18-21 "When the people saw the thunder and lightning and heard the trumpet and saw the mountain in smoke, they trembled with fear. They stayed at a distance and said to Moses, " ... But do not have God speak to us or we will die." ...

When the ancient Israelites heard directly from God on Mount Sinai in an awesome atmosphere, they trembled with fear and asked Moses to intercede between God and them. As the birds flew away for fear of death when the traveler drew near to them with a loving heart, so the people feared they would die when God Himself proclaimed the word.

Men are afraid when they hear God's voice directly. So, our God came in the same appearance as us. God is spirit, but men are flesh; God is so awesome and dreadful to them. That's why He decided to come into the earth in the likeness of men.

Jh 1:1-14 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ... The Word [God] became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only [Jesus], who came from the Father, full of grace and truth."

Jesus, who came in the flesh, was God by nature, the One who created all things. He came as a man so that men could come near to Him. However, people who feared God when He showed His power and divinity, despised Him and held him in contempt when He became flesh. At that time, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, so-called religious leaders, did not recognize Jesus' divinity and looked upon Him as the same kind of man.

Ac 24:1-5 "Five days later the high priest Ananias went down to Caesarea with some of the elders and a lawyer named Tertullus, and they brought their charges against Paul before the governor. When Paul was called in, Tertullus presented his case before Felix: " ... We have found this man to be a troublemaker, stirring up riots among the Jews all over the world. He is a ringleader of the Nazarene sect"

In those days, religious leaders called Jesus a 'Nazarene.' The Bible vividly shows that they denounced God as a heretic, though He loved mankind and preached the good news of the kingdom of heaven to them.

10:27-33 " ... I and the Father are one." Again the Jews picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus said to them, "I have shown you many great miracles from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?" "We are not stoning you for any of these," replied the Jews, "but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God."

They tried to stone God, calling Him a blasphemer, saying that He was making Himself equal with God. Thus, they rejected God Him-self, so they could not receive His words precious like jewels.

John, the writer of the Gospel, recognized Jesus as God Himself who came in the flesh. However, in the eyes of the religious leaders, Christ appeared a mere man, a criminal even more brutal than a murderous robber. So they shouted to release Barabbas the robber and crucify Jesus.

Even Jesus' family and relatives, who were expected to know and understand Him better than anyone else, tried to take Him into custody.

Mk 3:20-21 ... When his family heard about this, they went to take charge of him, for they said, "He is out of his mind."

Why do you think these scenes are recorded in the Bible? We are to understand not only Jesus' divinity but also His humanity, so that we can know God rightly.

Have a spiritual eye to understand Christ's divinity

God so loved this world that He came in the flesh, but the world did not recognize and receive Him for no other reason than that He be-came flesh. The religious leaders who claimed to have a full knowledge of God devalued the gospel, calling its followers the 'Nazarene sect.' They rejected and crucified their own God. They spit in His face and struck Him with their fists. They slapped Him and said, "Prophesy to us, Christ. Who hit you? (Mt 26:67-68)"

Even the Gentiles would not profane the gods in whom they be-lieved. However, the people, who claimed to believe in God, treated Him with contempt; His family tried to take charge of Him, saying, "He's gone mad"; the chief priests and the teachers of law condemned His teachings as heresy, and yelled to God who testified of Himself, "You, a mere man, claim to be God."

They had no spiritual eye with which they could distinguish right from wrong, truth from falsehood. They judged only according to the flesh and would not open their spiritual ear to His gracious teachings. Even after Christ rose from the dead, they bribed the soldiers not to bear witness to His resurrection. They did not believe though they saw such undeniable proof. They thought they absolutely believed in God, but none of them received Him when He Himself came to this earth.

This is the actuality of the so-called religious fundamentalisms. The present situation is exactly the same in the days of Jesus. Through the things that happened at Jesus" first coming, we need to consider what occurs at His second coming. The history of the Early Church repeats in these last days; people do not receive Christ just because He has come in the flesh, even though He has brought believable and credible proof.

1 Ti 2:4-5 " ... For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,"
To those who repeatedly ask how God can be a man, the Bible gives a definite answer through the word-'the man Christ Jesus.' The Bible says every spirit that does not acknowledge that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is the spirit of the antichrist (1Jh 4:1-3). This shows that those who are taught by the spirit of the antichrist deny that Jesus has come as a human being.

Actually, today's Christian doctrines are totally different from the Biblical teachings. The doctrines and fixed ideas of the religious leaders drove God, whom they believed, to the cross in those days. It is the same now.
The apostles already recognized Christ; they were depressed be-cause the people did not understand that Christ came in the flesh, and taught them, "Every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is the spirit of the antichrist," emphasizing, "the man Christ Jesus."

When God appeared on Mount Sinai in a spiritual form, people fled with fear. So He became flesh and drew near to men. Then they rejected Him and His teachings, calling Him the Nazarene. They reported to the governor their charges against the apostles who preached the truth. They were accused of telling the truth.

Seeing the truth being rejected, we come to understand that it is hard for ordinary people to perceive the truth. Then, who can recognize and receive Christ who has come in the flesh? Some will receive Him and accept His teaching graciously, and some will persecute Him and reject it, calling it heresy. Those who receive Him are the ones born of the heavenly blessing.

Heb 2:13-15 "... Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death-that is, the devil-and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death."

When the traveler approached the birds, they fled away. Then he wanted to be a bird to draw near to them. Likewise, people fled away in fear when God approached them, so He chose to come into the world, having the same flesh and blood as His children. He didn't care whether the world believed Him or not, whether the people called His teachings heresy or not; for He came to earth for the sole purpose of saving souls with true faith.

The place Christ first visited in this earth was not the magnificent temple built for 46 years. He visited the Sea of Galilee where Peter was fishing to earn his livelihood. "Come, follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." On hearing this word, Peter left his net and followed Jesus.

Mt 4:18-20 "As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. "Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men." At once they left their nets and followed him."

Why do you think Jesus did not go to the temple, where many people gathered together, but to a small sea village? Jesus did not visit them but called Peter and Andrew and told them to follow Him. Immediately they left their nets and followed Him. When Jesus went a little farther, He saw James and John. Then He called them and they too followed Him right away.

There was a great difference between these fishermen and the chief priests. The chief priests, who were worshiping God in a magnificent temple with numerous people, were not pleasing in God's sight; they were not the people who would receive His word. When Jesus preach-ed the gospel to them, they rejected it, calling it heresy. However, when He delivered it to Peter, he received it with joy and followed Him wherever He went.

Jesus already knew their spiritual state. Did He ever say to Peter, "Repent"? No. However, to the chief priests and the teachers of law, He repeatedly cried out and said, "Repent!" They called upon God only with their lips and their heart was far from Him; without repentance, none of them could enter heaven.

The Heavenly Wedding Banquet

The Bible tells us that everything on this earth is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven (Heb 8:5). As we have a physical body, so we also have a spiritual body?a newly reborn body?which we, God’s children, will be clothed with when we go back to heaven. As we have our physical father and mother, so we have our spiritual Father and Mother who give birth to us and will change our physical body into a spiritual, heavenly body. We can find this fact in God’s providence over the creation.

Eternal life given in accordance with nature

 

Our ancestors would say that it’s natural that people should realize the will of Heaven and follow it, and that everything will go well when they do it in accordance with nature. Following nature means obeying the will of Heaven. God’s will be contained in all things He made, so following the principle of all things is the way to obey the will of Heaven.

Rev 4:9-11 『“. . . our Lord and God, . . . you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.”』
When God made all things, He created them by His will. No matter how much the world changes, it is impossible for a man to bear a child. Every male has his own duty as a man, and every female has her own duty as a woman, in accordance with the principle of God’s creation of mankind as male and female. So, it is natural that both of them should do their own duty. Ultimately, following the law or principle of nature means following God’s will for His creation.
God’s providence over creation is the will of God, and it is natural to follow it. Let’s find out what God has promised His people who follow His will.

1 Jn 2:25 『And this is what he promised us?even eternal life.』

Through all things on this earth, which are a copy and shadow, God shows us their realities?the things in heaven. The Old Testament and the New Testament mean the old covenant and the new covenant, respectively. So, it is not too much to say that all the books of the Old and New Testaments exist to testify about what God has promised?“eternal life.”
How is eternal life, which God has promised us, given to us? God already showed us the answer in His providence in creating all things. When we study the history of God’s work of creation in six days, recorded in the book of Genesis, we can see that God created man on the sixth and last day of the creation; God made the man Adam first, and then made Eve, saying, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” By creating Eve God finished all His work of creation.

The most important reason why God created woman as a “helper for man” was because the fundamental role of giving birth, which men could not do, was given to women. All living things on the earth were born through their mothers. In other words, they are given life through their mothers. This principle of life shows the law of the invisible, heavenly world.

“The wedding of the Lamb has come”
The fact that we have our fathers on this earth implies that we have our Father in heaven. We also have our brothers and sisters on this earth, which shows that we have our brothers and sisters in heaven, too. Likewise, the fact that we have our mothers who gave us physical life on this earth shows us that we have our spiritual Mother who gave us eternal life which God promised us.

As we see through an earthly family, a new home is formed when a couple marries, and children are born through the couple?the main characters in the family. It is the same with the heavenly family. Jesus told us the parable of the heavenly wedding banquet as follows:

Mt 22:1-14 『Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a
wedding banquet for his son. He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come. . . . Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come. Go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find.’ So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, both good and bad, and the wedding hall was filled with guests. But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes. ‘Friend,’ he asked, ‘how did you get in here without wedding clothes?’ The man was speechless. Then the king told the attendants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ For many are invited, but few are chosen.”』

In the above parable, the king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son represents God, and the son, the bridegroom, stands for Jesus. Inviting people to the wedding banquet means gathering those who will be saved and go into the heavenly wedding banquet of eternal life. So, the Bible says that blessed are those who are invited to the wedding banquet.

Rev 19:9 『Then he said to me, “Write, ‘Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.’ ” . . . 』
In the parable of the wedding banquet in Matthew, however, the bride?the heroine of the wedding?is missing. This shows us that the time did not yet come for the heavenly wedding banquet to be held. Then, when is the prophecy about the wedding of the Lamb to be fulfilled?

Rev 19:6-8 『. . . “ . . . Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready. Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear.” (Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of the saints.)』
The wedding of the Lamb has an appointed time. In the parable of the wedding banquet in Matthew, the bride didn’t appear. However, in Revelation, John said that the bride of the Lamb made herself ready. Revelation is a book of prophecy that Apostle John wrote around A.D. 96 when he saw in a vision what would take place in the future. Therefore, the event that Revelation 19:7 speaks about?“The wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready”?is to take place at Jesus’ second coming.

Our God the Mother is the Bride of the Lamb
Now, we need to find out who the bride, the wife of the Lamb, who has made herself ready, is. Jesus said that there are two kinds of people: those to whom the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given, and those to whom it has not been given (Mt 13:10-11).
The people, who have received a wedding invitation from the bridegroom and bride, know them and their names as well, but those who are not invited can’t know them or their names at all. Only those who are chosen and invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb can know this secret. As the Bible says, “Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!” the knowledge of the Lamb and His bride at the heavenly wedding banquet is a blessing given only to those who are chosen from among the six billion people.
Rev 21:9-10 『One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.” And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God.』
Gal 4:26 『But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.』
The angel said to John that he would show him the “bride, the wife of the Lamb,” and then showed him Jerusalem. Here, we can see that Jerusalem represents the wife of the Lamb.
Jerusalem is our spiritual Mother who gives us eternal life. Without our spiritual Mother, a new life can’t be born. When God created all things, He let them receive life through their mothers. This is God’s will and providence.

Salvation and blessing given through God the Mother

In God’s work of redemption for 6,000 years, the greatest promise is eternal life given by Mother. There were so many forefathers of faith and prophets who lived in accordance with God’s will, but they didn’t receive this promise of eternal life. This promise of blessing is to be given when Mother the new Jerusalem appears in the last days.

Heb 11:38-40 『the world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains, and in caves and holes in the ground. These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised. God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect.』

The promise of God, eternal life, can only be given by the coming of our spiritual Mother. Now, we are living in a very important age when this promise of eternal life is granted. God has chosen us to be the most refined people in His work of redemption for 6,000 years, and now He leads us to the kingdom of heaven. That’s why God has made known to us the core of the 66 books of the Bible, and has acknowledged us, who are following Mother in this age, as those who have the best faith.

Without the appearance of Mother, no one can get eternal life. Jesus said, “Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life” (Jn 6:53-54), when He established the Passover. We need to understand the providence of God. If salvation had been able to be fulfilled by Jesus’ establishing the Passover of the new covenant at His first coming, the age of the Holy Spirit would not have been required. The meaning of the Passover bread and wine can only be fulfilled when the existence of our heavenly Mother is revealed.

God divided the redemption period of six thousand years into three ages?the age of the Father, the age of the Son and the age of the Holy Spirit, and made plans for our salvation in each age. In God’s work of creation in six days, the last thing God did was to create Eve. This shows that salvation can be completed by our Mother who is to appear in the last days. That’s why in John 6 Jesus repeated the same words, “I will raise him up at the last day,” even four times.

Without Eve, a woman, life cannot be born. This precious secret of eternal life has been given to us in this age. Since we have received freely the promise of the greatest blessing, which cannot be replaced with anything else in the world, we must not neglect our salvation.

From the creation of the world, God has prophesied about the existence of our heavenly Mother who gives us spiritual birth.

Ge 3:20 『Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become the mother of all the living.』

The Bible tells us that Adam represents the one to come, Jesus (Ro 5:14). Since Adam stands for Jesus, we can easily understand that Eve, the wife of Adam, represents the wife of Jesus, the Lamb. Adam named his wife “Eve.” The name “Eve” means “life” (see note on Ge 3:20). Jesus, represented by Adam, named His wife “Eve,” which means “life.” Through this, Jesus showed us that it is His will for life to be born through His wife. The ultimate fruit of God’s redemption work for 6,000 years is eternal life, and the One who is indispensable for giving eternal life is our Mother, the wife of the Lamb, represented by Eve.

The Heavenly Wedding Banquet

The Spirit and the Bride give us the water of life
Without Mother, there is no eternal life. Without Mother, there is no truth. Those who do not believe in Mother can’t receive the promise of eternal life and the kingdom of heaven.
In the last chapter of the Bible, we can see that the water of life is given to those who realize our heavenly Father and Mother, who are the Bridegroom and the Bride at the heavenly wedding banquet, and come to the wedding feast.
Rev 22:17-19 『The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life. I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book. And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.』
The Spirit is our Father, and the bride is the wife of our Father, so she is our Mother. Our Father and Mother both give us the water of life, but the Bible describes God as a singular entity. It’s because God the Father is the representative of the heavenly family. In the book of Romans, it is written that sin entered the world through one man, Adam (Ro 5:12). This shows that the Bible views Adam as a representative, considering Eve as a part of Adam. Since Eve was created from the rib of Adam, the Bible says that they became one flesh (Ge 2:21-24). Also, people have the view that husband and wife are one. This view is originated from the providence of God.
However, in the New Testament, Mother is described as a completely separate entity. It’s because we can only be born to eternal life when our Father and Mother appear in the last days. The Bible testifies so clearly that there are the Spirit and the Bride who give us the water of life. Nevertheless, some people deny the existence of the Bride. The Bible concludes by saying that such people can never enter the everlasting kingdom of heaven.
There are so many churches in the world today, as numerous as the sands by the sea. However, they do not know the heavenly Mother, nor do they believe in Her or call upon Her. The heavenly Father and Mother, who give eternal life, are not their Gods, and the privilege to know Them is not given to them.
The Bible says, “Blessed are those who participate in the wedding banquet,” or, “Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding feast.” We can see that the blessed people, who are invited to the everlasting heavenly wedding banquet, are those who believe the truth about God the Father and also realize and believe the truth about Mother completely. I hope that we all God’s sons and daughters will keep our faith in the Spirit and the Bride, who have called us to receive the water of life, until the end, so that our mortal bodies can be changed into spiritual bodies.
