Feasts of God

In his books, Ahn Sahng-hong taught about the importance of keeping the Feasts of God according to Leviticus 23, placing additional emphasis on the Passover.

Eschatology

Ahn Sahng-hong believed to be living in the last days. In his book “The Bridegroom Was a Long Time in Coming, and They All Became Drowsy and Fell Asleep” he wrote that the world would come to an end in 1988 or 2012[4] .

Mother God

After a member of his congregation claimed that she was the “female image of God”, Ahn Sahng-hong wrote a book called “Problems with the New Jerusalem, the Bride and Women’s Veils”. In that book Ahn Sahng-hong wrote that the idea of there being a “Mother God” was delusional[5] .

World Mission Society Church of God

The leader of the World Mission Society Church of God, Kim Joo-Cheol, claims that Ahn Sahng-hong appointed him as General Pastor of his church and that Chang Gil-Jah (Zhang Gil-Jah) was Ahn Sahng-Hong’s spiritual wife.
