In 1980, He compiled all the truths and published the book, ''The Mystery of God and the Spring of the Water of Life''.

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. | On April 15, 1984, Christ Ahnsahnghong celebrated His last Passover on this earth.
