The Mystery of God and the Spring of the Water of Life, or better known as “The Green Book”, is a book read in the WMSCOG written by Ahn Sahng-Hong, a man they incorrectly claim to be the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Since Ahn Sahng-Hong is their false god, this book effectively serves as an addendum to Holy Scripture, much like the Book of Mormon.
So if God writes a book, do you think that book should change over time? It’s reasonable to have minor translation differences between languages, but what if the changes were not simply translation differences? What if they changed the meaning entirely?
When we compare the Green Book in 1993 to the Green Book in 2010, we find some curious changes.
Just to be clear, Ahn Sahng-Hong never claimed anywhere in his writings to be Jesus Christ. Rather, it is the WMSCOG which claims he was the Second Coming of Jesus. Yet, we find that Ahn Sahng-Hong in his own writings in 1993 speaks about the future Second Coming of Jesus:
In the 2010 edition though, this language has been altered. The words “future” and “Second” have been removed. It’s curious that these words which seem to go against the WMSCOG’s claim that Ahn Sahng-Hong was the Second Coming of Jesus Christ were the ones removed:
Ahn Sahng-Hong clearly states in the book in 1993 that the Second Coming of Jesus will be in the future. This fits in line with the understanding that he believed himself to be the Prophet Elijah heralding in the last days and announcing the imminent return of the Second Coming of Jesus. After all, that’s what his tombstone says. You can see the books side by side below, or if you want to jump to a high res version click here (1.1 MB) :

So even Ahn Sang Hong’s writings, considered sacred, can be altered or retrofitted to fit the evolving theology of the church! Although this reveals intentional deceit of church members, it does not surprise me from everything else I have heard about how they handle what they present as the “truth.”
I have noticed that in some of the books, words have been altered. I’ve only been going to Zion for 2 years, so naturally I bought the books provided. But when I needed another copy, I saw some words were taken out or rearranged which sparked my curiosity. If the book was already translated, why are the words changing? I didn’t see anything as grand as removing 2nd Coming to His coming. The 2 are extremely different.
Yes! I remember during the feast the members that have been in “Zion” for longer time will have different versions of the books. Once I forgot mine and they borowed me one of the previous versions and it was totally different from what they were reading in the services. If you never been there and you wonder what do they do at 5am and 7pm services during their feast, they actually pick one of these books and read it in service and everyone else follow the leader quietly.
I always found it odd that ASH never referred to himself as Second Coming Christ. It was just assumed because ” he brought back the Passover”, or atleast that’s what I was told. I could never push myself to believe in him as God 100% …it never felt right.
Are you serious? You think that those two writings are different? [comment moved by admin to forum for further discussion]
I know right? His coming obviously means his second coming… did these people graduate???
g, if the meaning of “second coming” is the same as just saying his “coming” then why did your church change it in the first place? There would be no reason to omit your “god’s” word. Think about it.
good point .. y even change it??? idk if u go to wmscog like i have for about three years, go read the translated copy of
“Problems With New Jerusalem, The Bride, and Women’s Veils” chap 16 was a heart breaker. ASH said the new jerusalem would appear 1000 yrs after the end. IF YOU STIL GO TO THAT CHURCH PLEASE READ THAT CHAPTER…Ive been there for 3 yrs i love all the members, it just sucks to be lied to..
SECOND COMING OF CHRIST will be seen by the world as reported in Revelations Chapter 1:7. There are no other concrete references to prove that Ahn Sang Hong’s teachings fulfill prophecy. It is interesting to note that during their meetings they teacher does not allow its members to question or complete chapters. They are forced to read ONLY the underlined verses that are manipulated to their OWN teachings.
I warn anyone involved in this cult to GET OUT NOW! There will be a punishment for following false messiahs as stated in Luke. God help those families who are trying to get out their loved ones. AMEN!!!
Luke 21:8 States to be aware of false messiahs that will come in the end times.
