A Rebellious Nation
Isaiah Chapter 1
WMSCOG believes in Elohim God that is testified about by the bible.
1 The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.
3 The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master’s crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.
4 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.
5 Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
6 From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.
7 Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
8 And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.
9 Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.
10 Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.
11 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.
12 When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?
13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.
14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.
15 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;
17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
21 How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.
22 Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:
23 Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.
24 Therefore saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies:
25 And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:
26 And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellers as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.
27 Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.
28 And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed.
29 For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.
30 For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.
31 And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them.
90- year-old old mother and 70-year-old son[WMSCOG]
Physical mother gives her children the infinite love. So, love of mother is the best and the greatest! How about Spiritual Mother? It’s same thing. To give her children the eternal life “God the Mother” came to the earth with the flesh behind all glory.
WMSCOG spreads the infinite love to neighbors according to the teachings “God the Mother” 😀
There lived a 70- year-old son who always carried his mom on the back every day. For his mom who lost her leg in a car accident, the son carried his mom on his back and went everywhere in the neighborhood every day after work.
When he was asked by a reporter if it was not hard to take, he said, “Comparing to my mother who suffered so much to raise me up, this is nothing at all.” And he even talked more briskly just like a feather. This son tries to make her happy, showing off his muscles and doing cute things like a little kid. When his mother got asleep and the covering was about to finish, he called the reporter quietly. Handing over the hot patch, he asked the reporter to put it on the back where he couldn’t reach. He didn’t even show he put the hot patch on the back, thinking if she would worry.
“God the Mother” is the spring of love.
Asking to myself if I have ever been nicer to parents, I couldn’t really answer it confidently. Comparing to this son old enough to get filial duty from his children, who rather concedes his back to his mother, I felt ashamed myself.
Our Heavenly Mother who sacrificed Herself throughout Her life and suffered so much….In spite of the very precious mission to preach the gospel with all my heart and mind, I just want to ask myself whether I was only a child who just has troubled Her. Since heaven is the place where we cannot do filial duty to Mother, I will do my best to please her as long as I stay on this earth.
If you come to WMSCOG, you can see Elohim God!
