Ahnsahnghong
The beliefs of The WMS Church Of God
1. Christ will come back a second time and be born as a man from an Eastern Country. This Eastern Country is Korea.
2. Christ will come back “in clouds”. As clouds can be interpreted to mean “people”, Christ will come back a second time as a human being.
3. Christ will come again in a “New Name”.
4. Ahnsahnghong is Christ because he fulfilled several Biblical prophecies.
5. King David ruled his kingdom for 40 years. Jesus, as the successor of King David, should also reign for 40 years. As Jesus died three year after his baptism, in order to complete a 40-year rule he shall have to return and reign for a further 37 years. Ahnsahnghong is Christ because he died 37 years after his baptism.
6. Christ’s second coming coincides with Israel’s return to Jerusalem. Ahnsahnghong was baptized in 1948, the very same year Israel rebuilt their nation. Therefore Ahnsahnghong is the Second coming of Christ.
7. History repeats itself. Ahnsahnghong was rejected and persecuted as Jesus was. Only his most ardent followers will receive his “truth”.
8. As prophesised, Ahnsahnghong preached the Passover message of bread and wine. Therefore Ahnsahnghong is the Second Coming of Christ.
9. The symbol of the cross is corrupted, as are Christian festivals, rituals, seasons, holidays and doctrines.
10. The Catholic Church and the Papal Title represents the anti Christ and the mark of the beast.
11. The Bible is "locked" and only Ahnsahnghong can reveal its true teachings. Thus the Church of God's teachings are "unique" in that they represents the direct word of God.
12. The Holy Mother Jerusalem is a female incarnation of God.
Before examining these claims, it is first necessary to know exactly who Mr Ahnsahnghong and Mother Jerusalem are.
Who do the WMS Church of God worship?
Ahnsahnghong was born in Korea to Buddhist parents. He joined The Holiness Church (Seventh Day Adventist) in 1947. In order to legally preach the gospel he renounced Buddhism and was baptized in 1948. He set up his own church in 1964. During this period he married and divorced several times and had multiple wives and children. Though several of his children are devout Christians, none actually believe him to be The Second Coming of Christ.
An accomplished Biblical scholar, Ahnsahnghong is also the author of several books ("Visitors from the angelic world", "The Seal of God and the Last Plagues" etc). Throughout the 35 chapters of one book, "The Mystery of God and The Spring of The Water of Life", Ahnsahnghong takes Bible scriptures, examines them individually and offers his own interpretations.
Ahnsahnghong made a number of predictions within his early books. The most prominent two being his 1967 and 1988 predictions for the Second Coming of Christ. The majority of his scholarly work written prior to the 1970's, deal in part with these Biblical prophecies.
Following Ahnsahnghong's death, the Church of God went through a reformation process. Many of these books were subverted and the newly named "Church of God" began republishing heavily edited "interpretations" of his work. As it is now hard to find English language translations of Ahnsahnghong's pre 1970's work, we are working to translate and scan various chapters so that readers may download and study his work themselves.
Nevertheless, a number of Ahnsahnhong's more recent and readily available books counter the notion that he was the Second Coming of Christ. Many of these latter water/life books are written in an interpretative tone that do not suggest that the author believes himself to be a deity. Instead he refers to Jesus and The Second Coming numerous times and speaks of the "coming" as an event that will occur in the future and not as one that has already happened or been personally fulfilled.
During his life, Ahnsahnghong never claimed to be Christ and nobody considered or even proclaimed that he was. In fact, before his death (due to a cerebral blood clot), he predicted that the Second Coming of Christ would occur in 1988. In his books, he rationalised this date by adding the Biblical generation of 40 years to the year 1948, the year of Israel's rebirth (1948+40=1988). It is clear that Ahnsahnghong saw himself, not as a God, but as a mere writer and Biblical scholar.
It was only after Ahnsahnghong's death that the Holy Mother Jerusalem, (a Korean woman called Zian-Gil-Za, whom also claims to be God) proclaimed Ahnsahnghong to be the Second Coming of Christ. Zian-Gil-(sometimes spelt Chung Gil Cha or Xhang Gil Cha), an ex lover of Ahnsahnghong (they met in her late twenties) ensures that the Church of God guards all details of Ahnsahnghong’s early life and guarantees that his real birth name and past history remains a secret. Incidentally, Chung Gil Cha’s sister was imprisoned in Korea in the 70s for embezzling money from a Church.
During the early 90's the Church of God underwent a major reformation process. After Ahnsahnghong's predictions and prophecies failed to materialise in 1988 (and after he failed to physically ascend after his death), his followers began to grow disillusioned. Thus, the Church's doctrines were "reinterpreted". The idea of Christ coming in secret as a mortal and the concept of a third coming salvation were all born in an effort to justify Ahnsahnghong's death.
The group currently believes in a 2012 END DATE, stating that an apocalyptic nuclear fire will terminate all life on earth. Only the chosen few will survive. When these interpretations do not materialise, no doubt they will further alter their doctrines.
In 2004, The Christian Council of Korea, which represents churches in the country has, according to the visiting professors, declared the WMS-Church of God “heretical”. Their findings indicated that the Church employs grooming methods, using susceptible young men and women (19-25 years old) to recruit further malleable recruits. The Church of God argues that these allegations are “groundless” and denies claims allegedly made by other Christian denominations that the Church “worships a man”, “mistreats minors” and “gradually destroys families”.
The visiting academics nevertheless indicated that the Church employs cultic practises and has frequently been accused of breaking up families, citing that female followers are often made to leave their homes in order to wait at cult buildings for the “coming of Christ”, which Ahnsahnghong initially predicted would happen in 1988.
As of January 1999, there are over 200 cult leaders in Korea claiming to be Gods or messiahs. The country is a hotbed of new age mysticism new religious movements as the Korean people try to evolve a religion of their own, incorporating Western and Middle Eastern mysticism with more traditional Korean cultural practises. Estimates of cult membership in Korea alone, provided by the Korean National Council of Churches in 1999, was 350,000. This figure is constantly rising as many cults are gaining power through clandestine door-to-door propagation.
