The notes I take on this subject are located here:
3rd & 7th Day (According to WMSCOG)
This subject is extremely flawed. I used to gaslight members into keeping the 3rd and 7th Day using this subject saying ,“Mother is burned to ashes for you” and guilted people into keeping the “3rd and 7th” which don’t actually relate to worship days.
Refuting WMSCOG’s Third and Seventh Day Worship and “Heavenly Mother” Doctrine
The World Mission Society Church of God (WMSCOG) claims that “third and seventh day worship” is required for spiritual cleansing and that their so-called “Heavenly Mother” fulfills the shadow of the red heifer sacrifice in Numbers 19. These claims misuse Scripture and Old Testament shadows, replacing the perfect fulfillment in Jesus Christ with unbiblical doctrines.
This article will refute their arguments systematically by:
- Demonstrating the context of Numbers 19 and the third/seventh day as purification days after contamination, not worship days.
- Proving that Jesus Christ alone fulfills the red heifer sacrifice, not “Heavenly Mother.”
- Addressing the WMSCOG’s false association of Sunday and Wednesday worship as “counterfeit” third and seventh day observance.
1. The Third and Seventh Day: Cleansing After Defilement, Not Worship Days
The WMSCOG incorrectly claims the third and seventh days in Numbers 19 represent mandatory weekly worship services. A close reading of the text, along with Jewish tradition and biblical context, reveals this is a misinterpretation.
A. Numbers 19: Context of Ceremonial Cleansing
- Numbers 19:11-13:“Whoever touches a human corpse will be unclean for seven days. They must purify themselves with the water on the third day and on the seventh day; then they will be clean. But if they do not purify themselves on the third and seventh days, they will not be clean.”
Key Observations:
- The law concerns ceremonial defilement caused by touching a dead body, not weekly worship days.
- The third and seventh days were part of a specific timeline after defilement:
- If a person became unclean on Monday, the third day would fall on Thursday, and the seventh day would be the following Monday.
- Purification was required individually and tied to specific acts—sprinkling water mixed with the ashes of a red heifer.
