Church of God Faith and Truth
Christ Ahnsahnghong came from Korea for the salvation of mankind according to the prophecies of the Bible. The Bible is the only book that reveals who Christ is. Just as the Bible prophesied about First Coming Christ 2,000 years ago, it prophesies about Second Coming Christ through many prophecies such as the “Throne of King David” and the “Parable of the Fig Tree." Christ Ahnsahnghong came according to the prophecies of the Bible, re-established the Church of God in the pattern of the early Church, and proclaimed God the Mother, who is the last secret of the Bible.
God the Mother refers to the female image of God. Most people assume that there is only one God the Father. However, the Bible testifies to the existence of two images of God--the male image of God and the female image of God--from the first chapter of Genesis to the last chapter of Revelation.
God’s people receive the blessing of eternal life when they keep the feasts of the new covenant in spiritual Zion. There are seven annual feasts—the Passover, the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Firstfruits (the Day of Resurrection), the Feast of Weeks (the Day of Pentecost), the Feast of Trumpets, the Day of Atonement, and the Feast of Tabernacles, along with the weekly feast, the Sabbath.
The gospel is the good news, and more specifically, it is the new covenant. The saints and apostles of the early Church kept and preached the truth of the new covenant such as the Passover and the Sabbath just as Jesus taught them.
Women’s veil is the regulation that women must wear a veil when they pray or keep worship services as written in 1 Corinthians 11. This regulation shows that men wear nothing on their heads and that women should wear a veil.
Present State of Missionary Work
Now, the members are leading their lives of faith through over 7,500 churches in 175 countries around the world and more than 80% of them are local people. Before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, members from various continents visited Korea for a total of 75 times. 더 보기...

The prophecies about Jesus in the Bible are the records of what Christ will do in the future, and also the evidence for people to recognize God who comes in the flesh as Savior. The Old Testament written before the birth of Jesus prophesies many things that testify about Christ, but does not mention the name “Jesus” even once. However, it is undeniable that Jesus is the One who fulfilled all the prophecies of the Old Testament. It is because Jesus’ birth, ministry, and crucifixion were prophesied in the Old Testament and all the fulfillments of the prophecies are written in the New Testament. Jesus, the Savior, and the apostles who followed Him testified about Christ through the Bible.
