This is the New Jerusalem story.

In our Holy Bible, the New Jerusalem is a literal and figurative city. Literal in a sense that it is physically referring to the present city of Jerusalem that is full of abominations and idolatries brought upon by the Gentile nations on earth. Jesus allegorically refers to the present city of Jerusalem today as ‘Sodom and Egypt’ (Revelation 11:8).

The New Jerusalem in biblical prophecy speaks of the physical and literal reconstruction of that city.

In the book of Revelation, the New Jerusalem pictures the spiritual restoration and divine recreation of the worldly city of Jerusalem today. The renewal of the city of Jerusalem in the Holy Land of Israel is being accomplished through the true remnant of the prophesied Church of God in Philadelphia era that has legitimately earned the title and name of The New Jerusalem---Philadelphia Church of God and Jesus Christ.

Let me introduce who we are.

Remember that before you start reading the story of the New Jerusalem Congregation, you could also become part and member of this congregation.

We are the literal and prophesied fulfillment of the Church in Philadelphia (Revelation 3:7-13).

We are the true Church of God that God is using today for the gathering of the scattered people of Israel all over the world. Among all the off-shoot Churches of God from the Worldwide Church of God founded by Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong, we are the only remnant of that Church that is doing the true work of God.

Besides preaching the true gospel of Jesus Christ about the Kingdom of God in a much clearer way, we are also preaching and witnessing on earth today that Jesus is the Promised Messiah of God. to all the children of Israel, not only to the Jewish people. We are announcing that the Kingdom of God is referring clearly to the Kingdom of Israel where David the King had reigned in ancient times over both the House of Israel and the House of Judah. We are preaching of the true identity and personality of Jesus Christ whose Hebrew name is Yeshua ben-Yosef or Yeshua HaMashiach for that is the true work of God.

In keeping with the commandments and teachings of Jesus Christ, as it is written, "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS..."(Matthew 6:33, KJV), we wholeheartedly pursued the righteousness of God. God rewarded our effort in the year 2004 with the Torah or Law of Moses. Blessed be the Lord our God for He has fulfilled upon us what He had promised to our fathers in the wilderness and what Jeremiah the prophet had prophesied in his book. "Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, not like the covenant which I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant which they broke though I was their husband, says the Lord. But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it upon their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people" (Jeremiah 31:31-33, Revised Standard Version).

God has revealed to us the true nature of the Law of Moses and we have renewed the Marriage-Covenant that God has made with our fathers on Mt. Sinai or ‘Horeb.’ We now have the true teachings of God and Jesus Christ. God has already put His Law within our minds and within our hearts, as He has promised before. It is in our hearts because we love that Law that God gave to Moses and keep all of its commandments, statutes, ordinances and judgments. It is in our mind for we literally know what are the commandments and statutes written in the Law from the first commandments to the last 613th mitzvah (Hebrew word for commandment).

Unlike the Christian people, we do not simply imagine the Law of God or the Torah as dwelling within our mind and within our heart. We do not fantasize as well that the Holy Spirit is dwelling within our mind and body. We know all of the commandments of God in the Torah for we are laboring in the study of all things written in the Law every day and every week.

“Shema Yisrael, Adonai eloheinu Adonai Echad. Baruch shem kavod malchuto le-olam vaed, Ve-ahavta et adonai eloheika bekhol levavka, ubekhol nafsheka, ubekhol meoydeka” (Devarim 6:4-5).

“Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might” (Deuteronomy 6:4-5).

We are the true Church of God that is doing the work of God in this end of time. We are the prophesied Church in Philadelphia to whom Jesus Christ declared, “I will keep you from the hour of trial which is coming on the whole world, to try those who dwell upon the earth” (Revelation 3:10, RSV). Wherever we are, Jesus will keep us safe from all kinds of dangers and troubles that will come upon the inhabitants of earth. This prophetic message of Jesus Christ is exclusively for the members of the New Jerusalem Congregation, and not for any one who happen to come across it in his bible study.

There are seven church eras in the history of the true Church of God. We are the generation that did the work of God in the era of Philadelphia from 1933 to 2003. The Church of God that fulfilled the marvelous work of God during the Philadelphia era was the Worldwide Church of God founded by Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong. We are part of that Church when it was the true Church of God that God is using in His work on earth. But we are not the same church that continues with its erroneous established doctrines.

We are the children of Herbert W. Armstrong that have taken our faith and religion to a much higher level. We have returned to the God of Israel and the true religion He has given to His chosen people—the children of Israel. We are no longer living in the fantasy world of the Christian religion, nor are we part of Rabbinical Judaism. We are the true religion of Judaism whose high priest is the Son of God and not one of the priestly descendants of Aharon the priest. We are the true religion of Judaism—Torah Judaism—and the Jewish rabbis are not our ordained leaders. They are our beloved teachers concerning Jewish traditions and laws.

We love our fathers.

There are many religious organizations that have broken away from the apostate Worldwide Church of God. It just happened that we are the group that brought and marked the end of both the Philadelphia and Laodicean eras. In the year of 2003 when we went out from that adulterous Church of God, the seven Church eras have officially ended. In that same year God has rejected and removed out of his mouth the Worldwide Church of God and all its splinter-Churches of God.

History repeated itself again.

The same thing that occurred to the other Churches of God before the era of Philadelphia is happening or has already happened to all the former members of the true Church of God in both the Philadelphia and the Laodiceans eras. They are swiftly becoming extinct.

Literally, that is what will happen to the people that God has spitted and vomited out of his mouth, as it is written in Revelation 3:15-16. They have lost their divine appointment with God and no longer representing God and Jesus Christ here on earth in this end of time. The works that they are doing today are like the works of the daughter-harlots of the apostate Church under the leadership of the prophesied man of sin.

Their works have become an abomination before God.

A Church of God is a true Church of God when God is using that Church in His marvelous and unbelievable work here on earth. If the leaders and members of a Church that God is using are sinning and breaking the commandments, God will cease from working with that Church.  Once that happens, the Church that used to be true will immediately become a false Church of God.

The Worldwide Church of God under the leadership of Joe Tkach Jr is a Church that God has already vomited out and removed from His presence. In similar way, the major splinter-Churches of God from the apostate Worldwide Church of God founded by Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong have also been rejected by God and Jesus Christ. Their works have become an abomination before God in this end of time.

“The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the LORD: but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness” (Proverbs 15:9).

Biblically speaking, the wicked people on earth today are the people who are not keeping and observing all of the 613 plus Commandments of God written in the Law of Moses. Many religious leaders from the Worldwide Church of God today are guilty of the sin of adultery and the sin of fornication. Take the late Garner Ted Armstrong as an example of what the leaders and ministers of the splinters from the WCG have become right now. They know nothing about the true righteousness of God and God is not with them anymore.

“All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits. Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established. The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil. Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished. By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil” (Proverbs 16:2-6, KJV).

The Great Tribulation will also bring much troubles and problems upon the wicked Churches of God. However hard they try to avoid it, even if they join with each other, the Great Tribulation will catch all of them. But those who will draw near to God by remembering the Law of Moses shall be saved or be taken out of it like what is prophesied to happen on Joshua the High Priest (Zechariah 3:1-2).

God has already removed His protection from the scattered Churches of God that came out from the Worldwide Church of God. This is the reason why a shooting rampage has occurred in the local congregation of the Living Church of God that regularly meets in Brookfield, Wisconsin. Eight of its members had died as a result of false doctrines that are being taught and preached in that church. And as a result of that incident the Living Church of God has adopted the way of the false ‘that prophet’ of the Philadelphia Church of God.

The New Jerusalem Congregation is a Sabbath-keeping Church of God.

The New Jerusalem congregation is a true Church of God and very much part of the Church in the wilderness (Acts 7:38, KJV)—the Holy Nation of Israel. We are the true Church of God and Jesus Christ. We are part of the holy nation of Israel. We wear our crown proudly for God is watching over us.

We are the true remnant of the Church of God in Philadelphia era.

We are Jews. We are Israelites. We are the holy firstborn children of Israel, the first fruits of Mt. Zion.

We are the descendants of the lost people of Israel that God had scattered all over the world because our fathers had rebelled against God. Our fathers had turned away from the Law that God gave to Moses known today as THE TORAH OF MOSES.

We have spent 70 years of spiritual captivity in the religion of Mystery Babylon the Great---Christianity, in fulfillment of biblical prophecy, as it is written, “…That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to RETURN…Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken [listen] unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. And I will be found of you, saith the Lord: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the Lord: and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive” (Jeremiah 29:10-14, KJV).

We have continued and completed the course that God had directed the Church of God in Philadelphia era, which the late Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong had founded and started. The road to righteousness we followed faithfully until God, Blessed be His name, in His mercy came and lit up our path with the fiery Law.

We have seen the light. And that light is THE LAW OF MOSES.

Though we are small, little and insignificant in the eyes of our brethren, especially in the eyes of the whole world, God and Jesus Christ lead and direct us. The path that we are taking is true and sure.

Jesus is a Jew and those who can truly follow and keep His teachings are all descendants of the lost and scattered people of Israel for the Commandments of God are not acceptable to the Gentiles. They hate the Law of God and want nothing to do with it.

Jesus said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. He who is a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. He flees because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be ONE FLOCK, one shepherd” (John 10:7-16, ESV).

The gospel of the Kingdom of God is commanded by Jesus Christ, to be preached into the entire world. This is done in order to bring back all the descendants of the lost people of Israel to the Lord our God and the Law of Moses. But it is not only the gospel of the Kingdom of God that Jesus Christ has commanded us to preach to all the people on earth.  Jesus commanded us to preach also himself as the Promised Messiah of God to all the children of Israel. We are witnessing today for Jesus the anointed King of Israel.

We preach Jesus for Jesus also preached Jesus to the Jewish people during His 3 and ½ year ministry.

When we follow Jesus completely, in spirit and truth, we must obey and observe all the things that He commanded His Church to do and follow. If Jesus commanded us to do and teach the Law then by all means possible, let us do what the Law of Moses commands us to do. Let us teach the entire world what’s written in the Torah of Moses.

Join us in bringing the teachings of God in the Torah to all the inhabitants on earth.

“Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall DO AND TEACH THEM, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:14-19, KJV).

We keep and observe the Law of Moses, and teach all the people of the earth how to observe and keep the 613-plus commandment Law of Moses, for it was God who made and created that Law, and Jesus Himself kept that same Law during His lifetime. Since Jesus is the Lord and King of Israel, and He is the same God that gave Moses that Law, He will certainly keep and enforce the Law of Moses during His millennial rule on earth. The blessings of God come in great abundance upon all the people who will keep and observe the 613 commandments of God written in the Law of Moses. They shall become the children of light and the children of God. They shall become like God.

We are the replacement of the Aaronic Priests of the Most High God for our High Priest whose named is Yeshua HaMashiach is also a priest after the order of Melchizedek. Those who truly follow the teachings and commandments of God and Jesus Christ can become part of us—the 144,000 first fruits of Mt. Zion.  Yeshua the son of Joseph is the Promised Messiah of God to all of Israel. He has already replaced the priests from the lineage of Aaron from being the priests and servants of God.

As it is written, “Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof” (Matthew 21:44, KJV).

You can find in this site the true teachings of God and Jesus Christ. If you want to become a member of the true Church of God—the Holy Nation of Israel—all you have to do is contact us. We will surely visit you when the time comes for the elect people of Israel to be gathered back to the land.

Remember this clearly, Jesus Christ is higher in rank and authority than all of the Jewish sages and rabbis for He is the Son of God and the Promised Messiah to all the people of Israel (12 tribes of Israel). Rambam and Ramban were nothing in compare to Jesus of Nazareth. Rabbi Akiva was nothing in compare to Jesus. But the Jewish sages were a part of us for we do and follow what they taught us to do, in keeping with the commandment of Jesus Christ in Matthew 23:2-3. We need the Jewish rabbis for we need someone to teach and make us adhere to the laws and commandments of God. But there is nothing written in the Law of Moses that says the graves of our righteous teachers can make us holy and righteous as well.

Jesus implicitly said in Matthew 23:2-3 that we should do and observe what Akiva, Rambam and Ramban were teaching us about the Law of Moses but we should not imitate their unfaithfulness on the Son of Man.

Through THE NEW JERUSALEM-Philadelphia Church of God and Jesus Christ---you can be restored into the House of Israel and become a Jew. Remember the God of the Jews and the God of the Israelites are with us. We are the descendants of the lost ten tribes of Israel and Rabbi Yeshua has brought us back to the true knowledge of God.

The New Jerusalem congregation is not going to give you a Certificate of Conversion. We will give you instead the Kingdom of God in the Land of Israel, with a Temple of God standing on Mt. Moriah, in the city of Jerusalem.

May God open up your mind and help you receive what the man with the Spirit is saying!

God bless all the children of Israel and the Gentiles as well who will live under the Law of Moses. “One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you” (Exodus 12:49). The book of Numbers also says, “One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you” (Numbers 15:16, KJV).

We are the true remnant of the Church of God during the era of Philadelphia (Revelation 3:7-13). In our 70th year of spiritual Babylonian captivity, the Lord our God, Blessed be Adonai Eloheinu, visited us and made us returned to the true religion of Judaism, which is what the true religion of the Hebrew people is known today.

"Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the north, saith the LORD: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the LORD. Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon" (Zechariah 2:6-7, KJV).

For 70 years now, we hold on steadfastly to the Law of God which God had given to us through Moses. We continued observing them even in our captivity. In the year of 2003, the Lord Our God, Blessed be HaShem, visited us and brought us back again to the true religion of His own Son, Jesus Christ. We have become completely free from Christianity---the religion of Mystery Babylon the Great.

"For Zion's sake I will not hold My peace, And for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest. Until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, And her salvation as a lamp that burns. The Gentiles shall see your righteousness, And all kings your glory. YOU SHALL BE CALLED BY A NEW NAME, which the mouth of the Lord will name" (Isaiah 62:1-2, NKJV)

As the true remnant of the Church of God in Philadelphia, we have been given the title, which our Lord Yeshua HaMashiach/Jesus Christ foretold in His very special message to the Philadelphians.

"And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: 'The words of the Holy One, the True One, who has the key of David, who opens and no one shall shut, who shuts and no one opens.

“‘I know your works. Behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one is able to shut; I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name. Behold, I will make those of the synagogue of Satan who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie -- behold, I will make them come and bow down before your feet, and learn that I have loved you. Because you have kept my word of patient endurance, I will kept you from the hour of trial which is coming on the whole world, to try those who dwell upon the earth I am coming soon; hold fast what you have, so that no one may seize your crown. He who conquers, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God; never shall he go out of it, and I will write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the NEW JERUSALEM which comes down from my God out of heaven, and my own new name. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches' “(Revelation 3:7-13, RSV).

The New Jerusalem---Philadelphia Church of God and Jesus Christ is keeping and observing the 613 commandment Law of God. We are a Torah-observant Church of God, and we have the Promised Messiah of the God of Israel, as our Lord and King.

Get to know the true Philadelphians that are part of the little flock of Jesus---the House of Judah. See how we worship God on Sabbath day, New Moon Day and the seven annual Holy Days of the Lord.
