About the claim that the Church of God Keeps Establishing new Church Buildings Due to their Growth?


Those who slander the Church of God insist that "The World Mission Society Church of God keeps establishing new church buildings while they teach people that the end of the world is near. Why do they establish new church buildings?" Their thought is that, “We do not need to establish new church buildings since we are living in the last days,” is actually the thought of time-limited eschatologists! The reason why they slander us like this is because they do not know the will of God.

Shortly, It is not strange at all.

It is prophesied that many nations and people will stream to Zion, and that those who return to Zion will ask God to enlarge their place, and that they will enlarge their tent. So according to the prophecy of the Bible, we are building many churches. 

Mi 4:1-2 In the last days the mountain of the LORD’s temple . . . peoples will stream to it.             Many nations will come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD,             to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways 

Prophet Micah prophesied that people will stream to the mountain of the LORD's temple, that is Zion, in the last days. What does Zion, where many nations stream to, refer to?

Isaiah 33:20 Look upon Zion, the city of our festivals; your eyes will see Jerusalem, a                     peaceful abode, a tent that will not be moved; its stakes will never be pulled up,             nor any of its ropes broken.

The Zion where many nations stream to in the last days is the place where the new covenant feasts of God are kept. These days, it is the only the Church of God which keeps all the feasts of God of the new covenant. Therefore the Church of God is the very Zion which is prophesied in the Bible. When many nations stream to Zion, isn't it natural that the church should have more space? Even in the Bible, God prophesied that Zion will enlarge its place.

saiah 54:1-3 Sing, O barren woman, you who never bore a child; burst into song, shout for           joy, you who were never in labor; because more are the children of the desolate             woman than of her who has a husband," says the LORD. "Enlarge the place of your             tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords,                     strengthen your stakes. For you will spread out to the right and to the left; your                 descendants will dispossess nations and settle in their desolate cities.

Like this, it is very natural that the Church of God establishes new church buildings because many nations stream to Zion. Rather when we look at this history, we can confirm that the Church of God is the church which fulfills the prophecies in the Bible. As we've checked so far, the insistence that "the World Mission Society Church of God (WMSCOG) keeps establishing new church buildings while they teach people that the end of the world is near." does not make any sense.

Therefore, their insistence may come from ignorance of the prophecies in the Bible or they might just be envious and jealous of us since the prophecies of the Bible are being fulfilled in Zion.
