Why Does the Church of God Regard the Passover and the Sabbath as Important? If we neglect God’s laws, complacently thinking, “It wouldn’t really matter,” we will bring destruction upon not only ourselves but also other people around us, just as big accidents occur when we do not observe traffic laws. So it is important to cherish God’s laws in our heart and practice them. What Was God’s Intention in Telling Us to Safely Arrive in the Kingdom of Heaven? The reason Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother say to us, “The New Covenant is important,” is that we can know the right way to the Kingdom of Heaven through the New Covenant, our souls become revived, and be born again as God’s children. “ ‘I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them; I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh. Then they will follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. They will be my people, and I will be their God.’ ” Ezekiel 11:19–20

A lump of metal costs just a few dollars. The more arduous the processes it goes through, the greater its value becomes. It is the same with people. The hours of repeated trials that you have endured, will cause you to shine in the end.

Dragonfly larvae molt in water over a long period of time and crawl out of the water to a safe place away from their enemies to shed their skin and emerge as a full grown dragonfly. Cicada nymphs molt underground for about seven years, and finally crawl up a tree to undergo their final metamorphosis. Dragonflies and cicadas transform into completely different forms after a long period of endurance. Likewise, a beautiful change promised by God is waiting for us.

No human beings know what may happen tomorrow. And if life on this earth is not the end but another life awaits us after that what will you do?

God Gives Blessings When We Follow God, Relying on His Word Just as God blessed the forefathers of faith such as Abraham, Noah, and Peter when they relied on God’s word even more in difficult situations, He examines our faith in challenging situations we face today, too. The Church of God Spreads the Gospel, Realizing the Power of God’s Word God Almighty created the earth and also raised the dead by His word. When we rely on and obey the word of God Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother, we can realize the amazing providence of God who leads us to salvation in the Age of the Holy Spirit. “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the LORD. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts . . . so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.” Isaiah 55:8–11

“. . . the Lord Jesus . . . will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.”2 Th 1:7-8 Will the second coming of Christ and the judgment occur at the same time on the last day? “As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. ‘Tell us,’ they said, ‘when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?’ ”Mt 24:3 “ ‘They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory. And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.’ ”Mt 24:30-31 The reason why Christ comes a second time is not to judge but to save the chosen. (Heb 9:28) So, in order to be saved, we must meet Christ who appears on the clouds before the last judgment with fire. Then, what does the cloud mean? Is it the clouds in the sky? Clouds are a Biblical parable which mean the flesh. “. . . there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. He was given authority, glory and sovereign power [kingdom, KJV] . . . ”Da 7:13-14 This is a prophecy about Jesus who was given authority, glory and kingdom by God. (Mt 28:18) Jesus came to this earth in the flesh just like other people. However, the Bible said that Jesus would come with the clouds. (Da 7:13) Why does the Bible liken the flesh to the clouds? First, it is because just as the clouds cover the sunlight, the flesh covers the light of God’s glory. Second, it is because just as all things revive through the rain from the clouds, God comes in the flesh and saves mankind through the words of the water of life. At the time of Jesus’ first coming, the disciples, who understood that clouds meant the flesh, believed in Jesus and received salvation. At Jesus’ second coming, too, the people, who realize that the clouds mean the flesh, believe in Christ Ahnsahnghong and receive salvation. We hope that you will absolutely believe the prophecies of the Bible, receive Christ Ahnsahnghong who has come in the flesh, and be saved.

As COVID-19 spread more quickly, medical workers who struggle day and night with infection testing and patient care and government officers who implement quarantine measures became busier. To support them and appreciate their work, ASEZ WAO carried out the Heart to Heart relay from November to December 2020. The members in thirteen countries including Korea, U.S., India, Japan, Philippines, Mexico, and Argentina delivered cheer up kits to COVID-19 response facilities like hospitals, fire stations, and police stations. The members prepared the kits and wrote cards that said they were sorry they couldn’t express their gratitude to the medical workers at the front line for their hard work while busily adapting to a new lifestyle after the coronavirus pandemic. The medical workers said that they were encouraged to overcome the crisis together and that those under overwhelming stress would be pleased. “The number of confirmed patients decreased and then increased again. We needed some strength. You’ve given us a timely support,” said Dr. Roshni Mistry at Tygerberg Hospital. “I am very grateful to the nursing department staff performing dangerous tasks at the front line under the pandemic. I am happy that you have expressed your gratitude to them,” said Chairman of Inamdar Multispeciality Hospital in Pune, India, and encouraged ASEZ WAO to keep up the good work.
