==Life of Christ Ahnsahnghong<ref name="소개"/>==

===Born in 1918===

Christ Ahnsahnghong was born on January 13, 1918 in [https://goo.gl/maps/8yG8nTFXcZxeRdGz9 Myeongdeok-ri, Jangye-myeon, Jangsu-gun, Jeollabuk-do, Republic of Korea] (hereinafter referred to as “South Korea”).

====Outbreak of the Korean War====

In 1950, the [http://encykorea.aks.ac.kr/Contents/Item/E0042143 Korean War] broke out. North Korean troops crossed the 38th parallel early in the morning of June 25, and soon occupied Seoul, the capital of South Korea. Pushing southward, they swept through downtown Daejeon within a month, and occupied Daegu, Masan, Pohang, followed by an advance towards Busan. However, the North Korean army failed to capture Busan due to a counterattack led by South Korean and UN forces. The North Korean army began their retreat from South Korea in September. In 1953, a ceasefire was called. Following decades of Japanese colonization and years of war, the land of Korea was devastated. The Korean War destroyed about 600,000 homes and left behind 200,000 widows and 100,000 orphans. Over 45% of industrial facilities became inoperative, and the economy collapsed.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://ko.wikisource.org/wiki/%EA%B8%80%EB%A1%9C%EB%B2%8C_%EC%84%B8%EA%B3%84_%EB%8C%80%EB%B0%B1%EA%B3%BC%EC%82%AC%EC%A0%84/%ED%95%9C%EA%B5%AD%EC%82%AC/%ED%98%84%EB%8C%80%EC%82%AC%ED%9A%8C%EC%9D%98_%EB%B0%9C%EB%8B%AC/%EC%8B%9C%EB%A0%A8%EA%B3%BC_%EB%AF%BC%EC%A3%BC%EC%A3%BC%EC%9D%98%EC%9D%98_%EB%B0%9C%EC%A0%84/6%C2%B725%EC%A0%84%EC%9F%81#6%C2%B725%EC%A0%84%EC%9F%81%E3%80%94%E6%A7%AA%E8%AA%AA%E3%80%95 |title=The Korean War |website=Global World Encyclopedia|publisher=  |date= |year= |first= |page= |series= |isbn= |quote= }}</ref><br>

In those days, Christ Ahnsahnghong was preaching the gospel of the new covenant in Busan. Even in such a poor and devastating situation, He kept God’s commands wholeheartedly. In His notebook, He wrote about the situation of those days: ''“Even despite deadly suffering during the Korean War and all the hard labor in the mountains of Byeonnae, Yangsan, I never gave in to the temptations of this life, nor did I violate the Sabbath in My workplace.”''

====Proclaimed God the Mother====

Christ Ahnsahnghong proclaimed that God the Mother would appear at the end of 6,000-year work of God’s redemption. In the preface of His book, ''Unsealing the Seven Thunders'' (1955), He wrote: “'''There is one more person. She is still a child. She is to appear after me.'''” Christ Ahnsahnghong prophesied about the appearance of another Savior.

On April 15, 1984, Christ Ahnsahnghong celebrated His last Passover on this earth. On that day, the Passover was held at a wedding hall, not at the church, with a lit blue candle and red candle. He officially revealed God the Mother at the ceremony. On May 18, 1984, Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother took ceremonial photos with a bouquet of carnations in Her hands, wearing wedding clothes; this was to make clear that She is God the Mother.

===Ascended to Heaven in 1985===

According to the prophecy, Christ Ahnsahnghong ascended to heaven on February 25, 1985 after finishing His 37-year ministry of the gospel. He foretold the death of Second Coming Christ through the media.

====Passover====

The key commandment of the new covenant is the [[Passover]], which Jesus kept with the bread and wine representing His flesh and blood.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+22%3A15%2C+19-20+&version=NIV|title=Luke 22:15, 19-20|quote=}}</ref> The Passover of the new covenant promises the forgiveness of sins and eternal life.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+26%3A28+&version=NIV |title=Matthew 26:28 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+6%3A54+&version=NIV |title=John 6:54 |publisher= |quote=}}</ref><br>

The Passover is a feast that means “Disasters pass over.” The Israelites, who had been slaves in Egypt in the Old Testament times, kept the Passover with the blood of a lamb, and escaped the plague and were liberated from Egypt.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus+12%3A11-14+&version=NIV |title=Exodus 12:11-14 |publisher= |quote=}}</ref> Jesus, who came as the reality of the Passover lamb in the New Testament times, was sacrificed on the cross for the salvation of all humankind.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Corinthians+5%3A7+&version=NIV |title=1 Corinthians 5:7 |publisher= |quote=}}</ref> Those who keep the Passover of the new covenant will be protected from disasters through the precious blood of Christ and will enter the kingdom of heaven.

==== Women's Veil ====

The [[book of 1 Corinthians]] 11 shows God's will concerning women's [[veil]]. In the early Church, men wore nothing on their heads during prayer or [[worship]] while women covered their heads.<ref name="고전 11:3–5">{{Cite web|url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Corinthians+11%3A3-5+&version=NIV|title=1 Corinthians 11:3-5|quote=}}</ref> This regulation is based on the example of Christ,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Corinthians+11%3A1&version=NIV|title=1 Corinthians 11:1|quote=}}</ref> contains God’s providence of the Creation, and was established for the order of the Church. Apostle [[Paul]] clarified that women's veil was a common practice not only in Corinth but also in all the Churches of God.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Corinthians+11%3A16&version=NIV|title=1 Corinthians 11:16|quote=}}</ref>

<br>In most Protestant churches today, women do not put a veil on their heads as men do not. In the Catholic Church, high-ranking male clergy put a skullcap or a hat on their heads during Mass. Apostle Paul defined this as an act of dishonoring God against the standards of the Bible.<ref name="고전 11:3–5" />

== Church of God and Christ Ahnsahnghong ==

The [[World Mission Society Church of God]] was founded by Christ Ahnsahnghong in 1964. The church has inherited the original practices of the early Church established by Jesus and attended by the apostles such as Peter, John, and Paul 2,000 years ago. It has grown to become a global church with 7,500 churches in 175 countries within 50 years of its establishment. The church contributes to its neighbors, communities, and countries through diverse volunteer services according to the word of God, “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
