The disciples came to him and asked, "Why do you speak to the people in parables?"
He replied, "The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them." (Matt 13:10-11)

2000 years ago, it wasn't everyone that was able to understand the way to the kingdom of heaven, but only the faithful followers of Christ, his disciples. The Bible and all of the prophecies existing within are written in parables.. then in order to know the secrets of God's word, one must be a disciple of Christ. Then how is it that the disciples came to be called disciples of Christ 2000 years ago? And does it differ nowadays?

Many people have their own interpretations and variations in regards to what the Bible actually means. In the book of Revelation, there are prophecies regarding the last days that many theorists have attempted to understand, yet no one has come to a unified agreemant on what it actually means...However, the Bible does say:

"Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets" (Amos 3:7)

In order to understand how to become a servant of God, we must first see through the example of the disciples of Jesus Christ..

What did they do in order to be called his disciples?

Jesus said: "Whoever acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge him before my Father in heaven" (Matt 10:32)

- The first thing that distinguished the difference between disciples of Christ and others at that time was the fact that they acknowledged that He was, in fact the Christ.

Then, how to become a disciple of Christ:

Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me, therefore go and make discples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always to the very end of the age." (Matt 28:18-20)

- After baptism the disciples were taught every command they must know in order to preach the good news to the people.

"..to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles with the priestly duty of proclaiming the gospel of God" (Romans 15:16)

What is the gospel they were taught to proclaim?

"He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant" (2 Corinthians 3:6)

Then, the gospel of God is the New Covenant....what's the New Covenant that the disciples were taught to go and preach?

And he said to them, "I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you.."...And he took bread gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them saying, "This is my body.." 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." (luke 22:14-20)

- Jesus Christ ordered only his disciples to make preparations for the Passover (Matt 26:17), he kept the Passover with them and then commanded them to go and make disciples, baptizing them and preaching to them the gospel, the New Covenant, which is Christ's body and blood through the Passover.

- To his disciples, Christ gave the Passover and commanded that all nations be made disciples, so that they may receive the same blessing. Then what it is that the Passover promises that Christ commanded them to make all nations disciples as well?

Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth..whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has Eternal Life and I will raise him up at the last day." (John 6:53)

-The New Covenant Passover, gives the disciples of Christ, the promise of Eternal Life.

- Then what about today? In order to become a disciple 2000 years ago, first and foremost, they had to acknowledge Christ...

"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" (Rev 22:17)

- The very last prophecy of the Bible states that the Spirit and the Bride are calling to give eternal life. Who are the Spirit and the Bride?

The Spirit
Hebrews 9:28 "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."
Revelation 3:12-13 "..I will also write on him my new name. He who has an ear let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches."
**The Spirit refers to second Coming Christ that is to come in the last days....then what about the Bride

"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" (Rev 21:9)

-The Bride is the Holy City Jerusalem prophesied to come down out of heaven in the last days.... is a physical city going to come shooting out of heaven onto this earth? highly unlikely, just as Christ wasn't actually a lamb.

"But the Jerusalem that is above(heaven) is free and She is our Mother." (Gal 4:26)

Up until this point, this prophecy has remained a mystery in the Bible. Heavenly Mother is the female Christ prophesied to come to this earth in the last days. In order to be a disciple of God, we must first acknowledge Christ. Both Father and Mother.

"My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge" (Colossians 2:2-3)

Many people think that Christ can only be Jesus Christ, however, it's important to understand what Christ means in the BIble:

"The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God." (2 Cor 4:4)

- Christ is the image of God. Then what is God's image? We can see this through God's creation work.

" Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, in Our likeness.." (Gen 1:26)

- God created mankind in God's image, as if God made a copy and mankind came to be... then what came out?

"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him, male and female he created them." (Gen 1:27)

- God spoke in plural during the creation of man because not only male came out when God created mankind. Woman came out as well, in the female image of God. As we saw in Colossians... there is a mystery which is in Christ. Christ means the image of God. The male image of God is not a mystery, we know that Jesus Christ came to this earth 2000 years ago. The mystery lies in the female image of God, who is prophesied to come in the last days. The Bride, Holy City, New Jerusalem, is Our Heavenly Mother, female Christ.

** Therefore, in order to be a discple of Christ in the last days, we must first acknowledge the existence of, not only second Coming Christ Ahnsahnghong, but also Heavenly Mother, New Jerusalem.

The Church of God preaches the same gospel that the discples preached 2000 years ago. The Passover, the New Covenant. The same Passover that Jesus Christ brought, which gave his disciples eternal life, is the same Passover that the Spirit and the Bride are giving in the last days to give their disciples eternal life.

Once we acknowledge Christ, in order to become a disciple we must be baptized in all three names: (Matt 28:18)
Father - Jehovah
Son - Jesus
Holy Spirit - (new name Rev. 3:12) Christ Ahnsahnghong

and then taught everything God commanded.

God commanded us to keep the Sabbath day, not Sunday (Exodus 20:8)
God gave us the Passover, not communion (Matt 26:17-28)

** These are the teachings of Christ that are taught to the true disciples in these last days. Just as it was 2000 years ago, Jesus gave the secrets of the Kingdom of heaven to his disciples. So it is in this age. We are now living in the age of the Holy Spirit, and the Spirit and the Bride are giving us eternal life. In the time of Jesus Christ it wasn't easy for the people to accept that He was God in the flesh, that is why the disciples were blessed for first acknowledging Christ. In the same way, the Spirit and the Bride have come to this earth to give eternal life, however many find it difficult to accept Elohim God as Christ. But we musn't make the same mistake people did 2000 years ago. Those who didn't receive Christ couldn't see the kingdom of heaven, then what about now?

"And so I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come." (Matt 12:31-32)

- Jesus said this, because the age to come according to Revelation is the age of the Holy Spirit. If we think about it logically for a second, if Christ weren't coming in the flesh in the age of the Holy Spirit, what exactly would we have to blaspheme or speak against? Would people really go around saying, "Man you know what, I can't take the Holy Spirit, being all invisible and Spirit like...."

......I'm sure you see my point. There is nothing to blaspheme if it's simply Spirit. But if Christ comes again, the same persecution comes about just as it did 2000 years ago when people didn't want to accept Jesus Christ. However, He said that those who spoke against him would be forgiven. Those who speak against the Holy Spirit, second Coming Christ on the other hand, will not be. The Holy Spirit age is the final age of the Bible. And in this age it isn't just God the Father who is giving eternal life; Life is coming from our Heavenly Mother.

- Now the gospel is being preached throughout the whole world, by the Church of God World Mission Society. The same gospel that the disciples preached, the New Covenant Passover, which Christ Ahnsahnghong brought back in order for us to be baptized in all three names and made disciples of. We must acknowledge Christ in these last days who is seeking for "all nations" to be made disciples, in order to be able to enter the kingdom of heaven and receive the "knowledge of the secrets of the Kingdom of heaven". (Matt 13:10-11)
