Christ Ahnsahnghong shows us the True Meaning of the Passover

1. In what days are we living now?
2. How close are we to enter the Kingdom of Heaven?
God Ahnsahnghong established the feast according to the works of Moses and marked the beginning of all the prophecies. Let's see from the beginning when still the Israelites were in slavery in Egypt for more that 430 yrs.
Ex. 12:1-14 "The animals you choose must be year-old males without defect ...Take care of them until the fourteenth day of the month, when all the people of the community of Israel must slaughter them at twilight...This is how you are to eat it: with your cloak tucked into your belt, your sandals on your feet and your staff in your hand. Eat it in haste; it is the LORD's Passover...The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt. This is a day you are to commemorate; for the generations to come you shall celebrate it as a festival to the LORD, a lasting ordinance."
As God promised them, on that night the Israelites received freedom from slavery after celebrating the Passover. This is actually the first account of the Passover. But as a lasting ordinance they should continue celebrating it. Let's see:
Christ Ahnsahnghong testified that according to the book of (Num 9:1) the Israelites celebrated the Passover in the Desert of Sinai in the second years after the Exodus. However according the history of the Israelites while in the desert they started to disobeyed the Lord and stop celebrating the Passover. If the people brake God's everlasting covenant, do you think that God will be pleased???
Of course, NOT.
In the book of Joshua, God clearly testify that because the Israelites stop celebrating the Passover God make them wonder in the desert for 40 yrs when the journey from Egypt to Canaan was only 1 1/2 month. Also God told them that they will not enter the promise land (Canaan) and that all the men of military age will die in the desert because they did not continue celebrating the Passover. (Joshua 5:4-6)
However, God still love us and shows us compassion through them, too.
Joshua 5: 7 "So he raised up their sons in their place, and these were the ones Joshua circumcised....and after they were healed....the Israelites celebrated the Passover."
Then what happened after the Israelites celebrated the Passover as the Lord commanded them?
Joshua 5: 11-12 "The day after the Passover, that very day, the ate some of the produce of the land; unleavened bread and roasted grain. The manna stopped the day after they ate this food from the land; there was no longer any manna for the Israelites, but that year they ate of the produce of Canaan."
Why do you think that God showed us all these history: (Romans 15:4) Everything written in the past is written to teach us, so that through endurance of the scriptures we may have hope.
Our hope now is to enter the kingdom of heaven. Now we are not in any physical slavery, but we are in spiritual slavery to sin and death. However, to fulfill the prophecy of the first account of the Passover, Jesus came 2000 yrs ago.
Luke 22:7-20 "Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed...When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table. And he said to them, "I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer."...And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me." In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you."
Even the disciples kept the Passover (1 Cor 11:23) through the apostolic age after Jesus ascended to the Kingdom of Heaven to fulfill the second account of the Passover kept by the Israelites in the desert of Sinai.
But in the same way the Israelites after couple of years stop celebrating the Passover and wandered in the desert for 40 yrs, during the early church people also stop celebrating the Passover. Finally in 325AD through the Nicene Council the Passover was completely abolished, all men entered in the desert of our faith for so many years.
However, what happen in the old testament just before God allowed them to enter the promise land, Canaan. God commanded them to celebrate the Passover, and right away they enter the promise land. Without the Passover they were not going to be able to enter the land of Canaan, then what should happen in the last days. Do you think that God will just destroy us without any salvation?
Of, NOT!!!
That's why God promised us the following:
Isaiah 25:6 "On this mountain the Lord Almighty will prepare a feast of rich food for all peoples a banquet of age wine.......On this mountain he will destroy the shroud that enfolds of peoples, the sheet that covers all nations, he will swallow up death forever...The Lord has spoken."
What is this feast that God will establish with age wine that will destroy death forever?
The Passover.
Why age wine? What does age wine means? Basically is a wine that has not being use for a long time. The Passover has not being celebrated since 325AD.
When is God going to re-establish this Passover?
Isaiah 25:9 "In the last days they will say, "Surely this is our God, we trusted in him, and he saved us. This is the Lord, we trusted in him, let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation."
So, according to the Bible Almighty God will come in the last days and re-establish the Passover so that we can enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
Now a days, after they abolished the Passover, what is the only Church who celebrates the Passover according to the teaching of Jesus?
Church of God. Who brought the Passover to Church of God?
In 1948 Christ Ahnsahnghong began to preach about the Passover in South Korea according to the prophecies of the Bible. Christ Ahnsahnghong is Second Coming Christ our true Almighty God
Then, if we are celebrating the Passover now, what does this means?
That we are living in the last days, and that we are very close to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. That is why God has to come a second time. Christ Ahnsahnghong has come to allow us enter the kingdom of Heaven. If we do not celebrate the Passover according to the teachings of Christ Ahnsahnghong we cannot receive the promise of forgiveness of sins, neither the promise of eternal life.
In the grace and love of our Mother, we follow her beautiful ways. Although we face persecution, we will follow Her to the end. Even if we go through hard times, we are on our way heaven's kingdom. We will go back home with our Mother where our Father Ahnsahnghong is waiting for us.
When we get to the Kingdom of Heaven as we follow our heaven's Mother, our Father Ahnsahnghong will welcome us with joy; and the angels will sing our praise. God Ahnsahnghong will give rewards, consolation to those who suffered for the good news. Everlasting joy will be given us; we give thanks to God Elohim.
Praises be to Father Ahnsahnghong and Mother for strengthen my faith, and for opening the Path to the Heaven.
Heb 9:28 "So, Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he will appear a second time not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for Him."
According to all the prophecies in the Bible the Christ to come has to come in the flesh, in 1948 and from South Korea. Then how can you distinguish who is truly Second coming Christ that is to come to bring us salvation. Only through the Bible we can come to a clear understanding about this matter, so that we don't make the same mistake that Jewish people made 2000 years ago when the savior came and they crucified Him.
Christ Ahnsahnghong came to Korea, at the ends of the earth in the east, and restored the new covenant, Passover with Him hands and sacrifice. Going door to door under extreme difficulties Heavenly Father Christ Ahnsahnghong preached the truth of love. The truth of the new covenant has been spreading rapidly throughout the country. As a result, over 400 branch Churches have been established nationwide in the past half century.
All the Churches of God in Korea and around the world celebrate the feasts of God including the Sabbath, Passover of the new covenant, and all the other Feast of God described in the Bible. Through this the gospel was carried out speedily according to the teachings of Christ Ahnsahnghong and the prophecy of the Bible.
Christ Ahnsahnghong established The Church of God with His own blood of the sacrifice and carries out the Holy Spirit Movement to restore the truth and faith of the Early Church, all over the world. It is less than in 10 years from the beginning of the overseas mission that the Churches of God have been established throughout the world.
Christ Ahnsahnghong preached the gospel of the new covenant, leading all people to life, and it is being spread to Samaria and to the ends of the earth.
Still, many people tent to oppress and constantly persecute this truth of life. However, falsehood has not been able to overcome truth, and darkness the light. For God Ahnsahnghong has always been on the side of truth and in the light.
Christ Ahnsahnghong says that truth is the light. Church of God will shine the light everywhere. For this church has the truth God has promised and He is always with this church. Every place the light does not shine on will be under the control of darkness, there will be only darkness and death. So, instead of following obscure and judgemental opinions please come to study to The Church of God, and you too, will receive the promise of Eternal life:
Revelation 22:17 "The Spirit and the Bride say "Come!" whoever hears say, "Come!" whoever is thirsty let him come, and whoever wishes let him take the free gift of the water of life."
Jn 6:53-57 "Jesus said: I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man you have o life in you. Whoever, eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life and I will raise him up in the last day. Because my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. Whoever, eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him."
Matt. 26:17-26 "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?" He replied, "Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, 'The Teacher says: My appointed time is near. 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. … While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is my body." Then he took the cup, 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."
Only Church of God World Mission Society celebrates the Passover New Covenant because we have true Almighty God, Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother Jerusalem.
Christ Ahnsahnghong tell us the difference between Angels and the Holy Spirit

Hebrew 9:27 "Just as men is destine to die once, and after that to face judgement"
Romans 2:6-10 "Every one dies; after his physical death, his soul is judge according to what he has done"
Even Jesus said:
Luke 12:47-48 "The servant who knows his master's will and does not get ready or does not do what his master wants will be beaten with blows. But the one who does not know but does things deserving punishment will beaten with few blows."
Through this verse Christ Ahnsahnghong verse clearly taught us that on the day of judgment each will be punished for an hour or a day or a generation according to his deeds, according to the degree of his sin. After being punished, the soul perishes forever. This is the second death. But the devil and the false prophets, who have deceived the nations, will tormented day and night forever and ever. As it is written:
Revelation 20:10 "And the devil, who deceive them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophets have been thrown. They will be tormented day and night forever and ever."
There are so many testimonies in the Bible that prove and testify the existence of our soul and what path they are going to take according to our faith and deeds. However, people have being blinded by satan who has deceive human kind making them believe the contrary. That's why Christ Ahnsahnghong has to come, to show us with His mighty glory about us, our true self, our soul. Christ Ahnsahnghong has ripped the sheet that covers all nation, and through the Passover He has swallow up death forever. Christ Ahnsahnghong has come to show us the true way how to return home, the heavenly home.
Thanks Christ Ahnsahnghong for loving us so much and guiding us to the Kingdom of Heaven through your love and great sacrifice.
Why did God put the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil in the Garden of Eden?
And just like me, many others have the same question, and I was never able to understand, until through the grace of Christ Ahnsahnghong my spiritual eyes were open and Ahnsahnghong Himself allowed me to understand God's power of salvation.
Then I became to realized that when God (Ahnsahnghong) put the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil in the Garden of Eden, He did know that Adam and Even will take and eat of it. Because we cannot say that omniscient and omnipotent God, who has declared the end from the beginning, didn't know that (Isaiah 46:10). If God knew He must have intended Adam and Eve to sin; for the serpent, too, tempted them to sin was made by God, for it is written:
Genesis 3:1-5 "Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals that the Lord God has made. "
Beside was also God who hardened Pharaoh's heart and made the Israelites undergo severe suffering in Egypt. (Exodus 9:15-16)
Romans 9:17-18 "But I have risen you up for this very purpose, that I my show you my power and that my name might be proclaim in all the earth."
Therefore, it is certain that God (Ahnsahnghong) put the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil to make Adam and Eve sin by eating of it. Christ Ahnsahnghong taught us through the Bible that when sin increase, the grace increase all the more.
To Adam and Eve, "Do not eat from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil" was a command. When there is no command, sin is not inputted (Romans 5:13). When sin is revealed then we can receive the forgiveness, then we can enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
Dear sister:
It is a huge blessing to see and to be with Heavenly Mother God, over there, I feel as if I am floating on clouds. My heart throbs, pounds and races with joy and excitement. It is an overwhelming feeling, which words cannot describe. It is more than love at first sight. Each time She looks at Her children, Her eyes twinkle brighter than a flaming star.
When She is able to hug us, it is as if it’s Her greatest satisfaction, knowing that we have been found and are now safe in Her arms. Mother’s love goes deeper than the ocean. It is a love that can not be compared with anything on earth, a love that goes beyond anything you could imagine. Mother showed us many examples, but the one that has affected me the most and allowed me to realize who She really is was Her grand and great love for Her children.
Thanks be unto You, Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and Mother, for allowing me to experience what it is to receive true love. I hope I will be able to pass this love to all my brothers and sisters so that through this same love we will all be able to bear true and good fruit. Praise be to You, Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and Mother Jerusalem, forever and ever!

Mother's love with be in everyone who receive Her, and they will receive the precious promise of Eternal Life.
Most Protestants celebrate Thanksgiving every November; however, the Church of God does not keep Thanksgiving Day. In fact, the Church only observes God’s feasts, in accordance with the teachings of the Bible that Christ Ahnsahnghong showed to us.
It is important to understand the history of behind Thanksgiving, so that we can follow the truth.
In 1620, more than a hundred Puritans boarded the Mayflower and left England for a New World: America. The following year, they cultivated the American soil and harvested bountiful crops. They had much to be thankful for and decided to hold a commemorative feast. This is the origin of Thanksgiving Day. George Washington, the first American president, suggested that November 26th be appointed as Thanksgiving Day.
Then, in 1863, as the long and bloody Civil War came to an end, Abraham Lincoln asked all Americans to set aside the last Thursday in November as a day of thanksgiving. Thanksgiving Day is one of the largest national festivals celebrated in America, but it is not a religious feast. During Thanksgiving time, most companies grant their employees long vacations. It is acceptable that Americans have a pleasant time during this national festival, but it is blatantly incorrect to assume that Thanksgiving Day was appointed as a feast by God. Moreover, it is blasphemy to teach that Thanksgiving Day originated from the Day of Firstfruits—Resurrection Day in the New Testament—or from the Feast of Tabernacles, both of which are God's feasts. God has never commanded us to celebrate Thanksgiving Day.
The Church of God only keeps the feasts that the Second Coming Christ Ahnsahnghong commanded us to keep, the feasts described in the Bible.
Many people make the mistake of thinking that Thanksgiving is related to the Day of Firstruits, but they are incorrect. God appointed seven different feasts to commemorate the work of Moses, spanning from the time when he came out of Egypt with the Israelites, to his crossing the Red Sea and receiving the Ten Commandments, until the time of his gathering materials to build the tabernacle.
Moses’ work was a shadow of Christ’s work, from the time when Christ led His people out of the sinful world, until the time He would gather the materials to build the heavenly temple. The Day of Firstfruits is the third feast of the seven, appointed in springtime—the season when barley and wheat ripen. It commemorated Moses' crossing the Red Sea with the Israelites. On the day after the Sabbath, following the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the priest waved a sheaf of the first grain before God. This symbolically represented Jesus Christ’s resurrection as the firstfruits among the dead.
Lev 23:10-14 "Speak to the Israelites and say to them: "When you enter the land I am going to give you and you reap its harvest, bring to the priest a sheaf of the first grain you harvest. He is to wave the sheaf before the LORD so it will be accepted on your behalf; the priest is to wave it on the day after the Sabbath...You must not eat any bread, or roasted or new grain, until the very day you bring this offering to your God (on the Day of Firstfruits). This is to be a lasting ordinance for the generations to come, wherever you live."
At this time the Israelites couldn't eat the new grains until they presented the wave offering of a sheaf of the first grain to God on the Day of Firstfruits. This prophecy revealed that no one could resurrect until Jesus had first risen from the dead.
1 Cor. 15:20-24 "But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep [physically died]...But each in his own turn: Christ, the firstfruits..."
Jesus resurrected as the firstfruits among the dead, the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecy concerning the Day of Firstfruits. In the Old Testament times, the Israelites kept the Day of Firstfruits on the day after the Sabbath, following the Feast of Unleavened Bread. This was fulfilled by Jesus Christ’s resurrection on Sunday, the day after the Sabbath, following the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
Mark 16:9 "When Jesus rose early on the first day of the week..."
Jesus' resurrection was prophesied during the time of Moses, and the exact day of His resurrection, the day after the Sabbath, was even appointed. Now, in the New Testament times, should we still commemorate the Old Testament’s Day of Firstfruits? We should commemorate Jesus' resurrection instead.
What is the relationship between the Feast of Tabernacles and Thanksgiving Day? NONE
The Feast of Tabernacles was appointed when Moses and the Israelites were in the desert. The Feast was to commemorate the Israelites' gathering the materials to build the tabernacle. It was kept in the seventh month, from the 15th to the 22nd, according to the sacred calendar. Using the solar calendar, the feast falls in September or October. God commanded Moses and his people to build a sanctuary according to the pattern of the heavenly sanctuary, shown to Moses on Mount Sinai. The people were moved by the Holy Spirit and willingly offered materials, gold, silver, linen, and cotton, to help build the tabernacle. Eventually, Moses ordered that they didn't have to bring any more offerings (Ex. 35:4-36:7).
To commemorate the Israelites' building the tabernacle, God appointed the Feast of Tabernacles, also referred to as the feast of booths. The Israelites built booths in the inner and outer courts of the temple and rejoiced for a week (Lev. 23:34-36). This feast fell during the season in which all of the grains were harvested. Thus, the Feast of Tabernacles was also called the Feast of In gathering (Ex. 34:22).
Christ Ahnsahnghong testifies that the book of Hebrews reveals that the earthly sanctuary, built by Moses, was a copy and a shadow of the heavenly sanctuary to be built by Jesus Christ.
Heb. 8:5 "They serve at a sanctuary (on the earth) that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: "See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain."
In the time of Moses, materials were gathered for the building of the sanctuary. These materials symbolized God's people, who are described as the "materials" for the heavenly sanctuary to be gathered in the New Testament times.
Eph. 2:20-22 "...with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit."
Rev. 3:12 "Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God..."
In the time of Moses, the Israelites gathered materials for seven days and built the tabernacle. In the Old Testament times, the Israelites ceremonially constructed booths of grass or trees and joyfully stayed within them for seven days. These are both prophecies disclosing that the:
As they are gathered, the earthly gospel work will be completed. Jesus also showed us an example of preaching during the Feast of Tabernacles (John 7:14, 37).
Christ Ahnsahnghong testified that in the New Testament times, the Feast of Firstfruits was fulfilled on Resurrection Day. On Resurrection Day we commemorate Jesus' resurrection and we are reminded of God’s promise to change and to resurrect the saints living in the last days. The Feast of Tabernacles was fulfilled by the Preaching Week of the New Testament times, during which we preach the gospel to find the materials, the saints who are to be saved, for the heavenly temple.
Thanksgiving Day is an American festival, not a Christian feast. It is undoubtedly a man-made custom. A long time ago, Jeroboam, king of Israel, constructed golden calves to prevent his people from going to Jerusalem to keep the feasts of God. He said, "Here are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt," and instituted a feast on the fifteenth day of the eighth month similar to the festival held in Judah. The Bible says that Jeroboam’s actions were viewed as sinful in the eyes of God (1 Kin. 12:25-33). Jesus also spoke concerning this kind of people.
Mark 7:6-8 "He replied, "Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written: "'These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men.' You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions of men."
Many people do not know the prophecies of the Feast of Firstfruits and the Feast of Tabernacles, or how these feasts were fulfilled. Most continue to follow and to proclaim incorrect teachings. They even shout, "Amen!" when these false doctrines are taught. We hope that, under God Ahnsahnghong's grace, they can realize the true decrees and laws of God. The Bible says,
Hos 4: 6 "My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children"
Christ Ahnsahnghong is giving a warning to those who neglect God's commands and who follow only the commands of men. Hebrews chapter nine reads,
Heb 9:1 "Now the first covenant had regulations for worship and also an earthly sanctuary"
This verse implies that the second covenant [the new covenant] had regulations for worship and for a heavenly sanctuary. Which covenant is more important? No one denies that the regulations of the new covenant are more important.
The teachings that Church of God follows are extrictly from the Bible. Now a days people just focus on their physical life and how to please themselves by following the customs of the world. However, through this you cannot be saved. That's why Christ Ahnsahnghong has to come, to show us the true way to eternal life. Christ Ahnsahnghong has reveal to us the Mysteries of Mysteries, our Heavenly Mother the New Jerusalem.
Christ Ahnsahnghong opened again the way to the Kingdom of Heaven.
But there is also another prophecy in the Bible
Hebrews 9:28 ".... Christ will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him."
Prophecy already fulfilled through the Bible. Christ Ahnsahnghong has come, to delivered us from the chains of satan that has spiritually blind us for so many years. Christ Ahnsahnghong came as prophecy to bring us salvation and to re-established all the lost truth. Christ Ahnsahnghong have also teach us through the Bible that Christmas is a pagan holiday and not the sacred Holy Day.
When you first look at the root of Christmas you can find so many information.
Let's see some:
When the Christmas season arrives, in December, everyone gets into the festive spirit. Most people are under the impression that Christmas is Jesus’ birthday, the day when He came into the world to give blessings and eternal hope to mankind; however, the Church of God—believing in the Second Coming Christ Ahnsahnghong, does not celebrate Christmas, because it is not the birthday of Jesus. In fact, within Christmas is hidden a deceitful trick of Satan. The devil has tricked many people into worshiping the sun god by allowing them to fall into the illusion that they are sincerely worshiping God in the proper way.
Many people try to justify themselves, saying, "We celebrate Christmas because it is the birthday of Jesus." However, Christmas—December 25th—is the birthday of the sun god, Nimrod, who was the first model of the Antichrist.
Christmas originated in the festival of Saturnalia, and is a subtle scheme, used by Satan, to destroy our souls. Satan always tries to turn us away from the way that God has commanded us to follow: "You shall have no other gods before me," "You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything." Today, Satan is prowling around, like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. However, true Christians should resist him, we should be alert, and stand firm in our faith.
We need to be able to discern the truth from all of the falsehood. There are various materials which testify that the date of Jesus’ birth was not December 25th, and that this date was the birthday of the sun god, as it had been celebrated in ancient Rome. Even though all of the people living in this age believe that lies and falsehood are the truth, we are the ones who must restore the truth.
Christian history testifies that Christmas originated in pagan customs, from those who worshiped idols, and that it was not until much later that the festival became "Christianized."
1 ■ HISTORY OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH by Philip Schaff, Hendrickson Publishers, pp. 396-397.
"The Christmas festival was probably the Christian transformation or regeneration of a series of kindred heathen festivals—the Saturnalia, Sigillaria, Juvenalia, and Brumalia—which were kept in Rome in the month of December, in commemoration of the golden age of universal freedom and equality, and in honor of the unconquered sun, and which were great holidays, especially for slaves and children. This connection accounts for many custom of the Christmas season, like the giving of presents to children and to the poor, the lighting of wax tapers, perhaps also the erection of Christmas trees...Finally, the church fathers themselves confirm the symbolical reference of the feast of the birth of Christ, the Sun of righteousness, the Light of the world, to the birth-festival of the unconquered sun, which on the twenty-fifth of December, after the winter solstice, breaks the growing power of darkness, and begins anew his heroic career."
2 ■ THE HISTORY OF CHRISTIANITY A Lion Handbook, p. 141.
"The Christian church took over many pagan ideas and images. From sun-worship, for example, came the celebration of Christ’s birth on the twenty-fifth of December, the birthday of the Sun."
3 ■ A BRIEF HISTORY OF CHRISTIANITY by Bamber Gascoigne, Robinson, p. 16.
"In 274 Aurelian believed that the sun-god had brought him victory in Syria. He set up a state cult to Sol Invictus, the unconquered sun: and announced that the birthday of the sun, a day of special festivity, was December 25th. The sun’s halo, as well as the date of his birthday, would later be borrowed by Christianity."
Through these historical evidence, we can easily conclude that there is no relationship between Christmas and Jesus’ birth. Christmas is merely a Roman festival—for the sun god—that was Christianized later.
Dictionaries and newspapers also testify that December 25th was not the birthday of Jesus, but of the sun god.
1 ■ Encyclopedia BRITANNICA, p. 704.
"Christmas/December 25 was the date of a pagan festival in Rome, chosen in A.D. 274 by the emperor Aurelian as the birthday of the unconquered sun (natalis solis invicti), which at the winter solstice begins again to show an increase of light. At some point before A.D. 336 the church at Rome established the commemoration of the birthday of Christ, the sun of righteousness, on this same date."
2 ■ Encyclopedia AMERICANA, p. 666.
"This date [December 25] was not set in the West until about the middle of the 4th century and in the East until about a century later...The reason for establishing December 25 as Christmas is somewhat obscure, but it is usually held that the day was chosen to correspond to pagan festivals that took place around the time of the winter solstice, when the days begin to lengthen, to celebrate the "rebirth of the sun." Northern European tribes celebrate their chief festival of Yule at the winter solstice to commemorate the rebirth of the sun as the giver of light and warmth. The Roman Saturnalia (a festival dedicated to Saturn, the god of agriculture, and to the renewed power of the sun), also took place at this time and some Christmas customs are thought to be rooted in this ancient pagan celebration."
3 ■ "TODAY" (a newspaper published in Singapore) Tuesday, December 21, 2004
"Two thousand years ago, this [Christmas] was the very kind of celebration that alarmed the early Christian Church, which was disgusted with the cheer and merriment that marked the pagan festivals of their new converts. At first, the Church forbade this kind of celebration. But it was to no avail....The 25th was not only sacred to the Romans, but also to the Persians—whose religion, Mithraism, was one of Christianity’s main rivals then. The Church was successful eventually in taking the merriment, lights and gifts from the pagan festival and bringing them to the celebration of Christmas. The history of celebrating the end of the year or of a cycle dates back to more than 4,000 years. Many of the Christmas traditions were celebrated centuries before Jesus Christ was born...As the winter solstice approached, with its long cold nights and short days, many people feared the sun would not return. Special rituals and celebrations were held to welcome back the sun..."
And in a book entitled World Government and 666 it is written that the birthday of Nimrod—the first model of the Antichrist, historically—was celebrated on the 25th of December as the Roman festival, Saturnalia. The Franklin Institute, in America, also researched this subject, concluding that Jesus Christ was born in March or April.
Christ Ahnsahnghong testifies through the Bible about these as well:
Ezek. 8:14-18 "Then he brought me to the entrance to the north gate of the house of the LORD, and I saw women sitting there, mourning for Tammuz. He said to me, "Do you see this, son of man? You will see things that are even more detestable than this." He then brought me into the inner court of the house of the LORD, and there at the entrance to the temple, between the portico and the altar, were about twenty-five men. With their backs toward the temple of the LORD and their faces toward the east, they were bowing down to the sun in the east. He said to me, "Have you seen this, son of man? Is it a trivial matter for the house of Judah to do the detestable things they are doing here? Must they also fill the land with violence and continually provoke me to anger? Look at them putting the branch to their nose! Therefore I will deal with them in anger; I will not look on them with pity or spare them. Although they shout in my ears, I will not listen to them."
Who will care if an unbeliever worships the sun god, or even the old wood god? However, if a Christian worships the sun god, rejecting God’s command—"You shall have no other gods before me," and, "You shall not worship idols"—it is detestable to God, isn’t it? The Bible says that such detestable acts are committed "between the portico and the altar." Isn’t the chapel what lies between the portico and the altar? People worship the sun god within the very churches that have been established for worshiping God. How abominable!
Satan has ingeniously set a snare, and his trickery is nearly unnoticeable. If sun-worship could be recognized at a glance, who would go to such a church, looking to find God? In order to deceive many people, Satan hid sun-worship within church doctrine. Sunday service and Christmas are paragons of sun-worship.As stated above, Christmas is a pagan custom which has been Christianized. Its origin is a Roman festival of sun god worship, a slice of spiritual adultery, mixing truth with falsehood.
Christ Ahnsahnghong prophesied through the book of Daniel that Satan would speak against God and would try to change God’s set times and laws.
Dan. 7:25 "He will speak against the Most High and oppress his saints and try to change the set times and the laws. The saints will be handed over to him for a time, times and half a time."
Christ Ahnsahnghong warns that He will bring severe punishment, without compassion, upon those who replace the laws of truth with their own rules, who rationalize false logic, and who change God’s sacred laws into those of the Romans—the sun-worshipers. When God’s judgment comes upon those who have worshiped the sun god—even though they have professed that they believe in God—this mark will bring redemption to God’s true people.
Ezek. 9:4-6 "Go throughout the city of Jerusalem and put a mark on the foreheads of those who grieve and lament over all the detestable things that are done in it." As I listened, he said to the others, "Follow him through the city and kill, without showing pity or compassion. Slaughter old men, young men and maidens, women and children, but do not touch anyone who has the mark. Begin at my sanctuary." So they began with the elders who were in front of the temple."
Isa. 9:13-16 "But the people have not returned to him who struck them, nor have they sought the LORD Almighty. So the LORD will cut off from Israel both head and tail, both palm branch and reed in a single day; the elders and prominent men are the head, the prophets who teach lies are the tail. Those who guide this people mislead them, and those who are guided are led by astray."
Sunday worshiping service and Christmas—December 25th—are the weapons Satan uses to resist God. By sending many false prophets, Satan has taken many souls captive under hollow and deceptive philosophies. Everyone must follow God’s teachings, the truth which will lead us to eternal life in heaven, and we must turn away from Satan’s deception of Sunday service and
Christmas.
Luke 6:46 "Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?"
We should all keep Christ Ahnsahnghong’s words in our minds, we shall be God’s faithful people who will follow the truth and will obey only what God has commanded. Because only through the Passover as Christ Ahnsahnghong testifies we can enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
