Keep the Sabbath Day Holy - IV (World Mission Society Church of God)

We are Elohist~!

The Sabbath Was Changed to Sunday

World Mission Society Church of God- In this age,
only God the Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother (Heavenly Mother) can give us salvation.

After the apostles died, Christianity spread to western regions, including Rome. The gospel was preached to sun-god worshipers, and in the early 4th century, even the Roman emperor had heard the message of Christ. The emperor happened to be a leader of the sun-god worshipers, and when he converted to Christianity, many sun-god worshipers began to attend Church. As time passed, the faith of the Christians weakened, and they began to accept the customs of the sun-god worshipers. During this turn-over, they even began to rest and to worship on the first day of the week [Sunday]. In A.D. 321, Constantine, a Roman emperor, decreed an edict:

"All judges, city-people and craftsmen shall rest on the venerable day of the Sun."

Some argue that the abolishment of the Sabbath compelled many people to convert to Christianity, but we must not forget that altering God's commandments was Satan's scheme. Satan, the devil, opposes God and has historically harassed God's people, using various methods.
He tried to destroy the Church of God through severe persecution. But, taking a close look at history, the more that God's people were persecuted, the more that they depended on God. When Satan changed his methods of persecution, however, and praised the Church, he tempted the Christians to combine their faiths together. They were given back the properties that had been taken from them, ministers were exempted from military service, and the Church was even given the right to emancipate slaves. Through all of these outwardly positive changes to the Church, the Christians unwittingly fell into Satan's schemes and knelt down before him. They turned their backs away from God, like an ignorant bear who doesn't realize that his gallbladder is going to be stolen, only focusing on the sweet candy he is being tempted with.

God clearly said that only he who does the will of God can enter the kingdom of heaven (Matt. 7:21-23). Which day should we worship God to please Him, Sunday which most people keep, or the Sabbath, Saturday, which God commanded His people to keep? It is unnecessary to reveal the answer, because the Sabbath day is clearly Saturday.

Zion is World Mission Society Church of God where God’s festivals are celebrated & Heavenly Mother dwells

Today, many disasters like wars, earthquakes, infectious diseases, breaking out all over the world & disasters become strong more and more.

The Bible prophesied these disasters & taught the Refuge to us.

Then where is the Refuge?

Jer. 4:6 『Raise the signal to go to Zion! Flee for safety without delay! For I am bringing disaster from the north, even terrible destruction.”』

The Bible told us to flee to Zion without hesitation, because we can avoid disasters in Zion.

That means Zion is the Refuge for salvation.

Then, where is this Zion?

Isa. 33:20 『Look upon Zion, the city of our festivals; your eyes will see Jerusalem, a peaceful abode, a tent that will not be moved; its stakes will never be pulled up, nor any of its ropes broken.』

Zion is the city of God’s festivals & we can see Jerusalem in it.

Then, is this Zion Palestine where the temple of Jerusalem is?

Today, Palestine is one of most dangerous areas in this world.

Moreover, the bible said “God will save people who dwell in Zion(verse 22) & they will be forgiven(verse 24).”

So In Isa. 33:20, Zion means the spiritual Zion, not the earthly Zion.

Then, where is our Refuge, Zion?

First, Zion is the place where religious festivals are celebrated.

In other words, the church that celebrates God’s feasts is Zion.

In Lev. 23:1~44, we can know the feasts that God commands us to keep.

God commanded The Sabbath as Weekly feast & The Passover, The Feast of Unleavened Bread, The Day of Firstfruits(The Resurrection Day in new testament), The Feast of Weeks(The Pentecost in new testament), The Feast of Trumpets, The Day of Atonement, The Feast of Tabernacles as Annual feasts.

Today, only World Mission Society Church of God keeps these one weekly feast & seven Annual feasts.

Second, there is Jerusalem in Zion.

This Jerusalem is also the spiritual Jerusalem like Zion.

Then, what is the spiritual Jerusalem?

Gal. 4:26 『But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.』

Jerusalem in Zion is Heavenly Jerusalem that is our Heavenly Mother.

Because Heavenly Mother protects the people who dwell in Zion, only Zion can be the Refuge to us.

Today, Heavenly Mother dwells in World Mission Society Church of God.

Through these two evidences, we can know World Mission Society Church of God is Zion that is the Refuge of the Bible.

You have to dwell in Zion that is World Mission Society Church of God by keeping God’s feasts & believing Heavenly Mother to avoid disasters.

I wish you avoid the disasters by dwelling in Zion & realize Heavenly Mother’s love which she gives in Zion.
