Ahn Sahng Hong Predicted the End of the World in 2012

This article is dedicated to all of those who were taught the world would end in 2012.

In his book The Bridegroom Was A Long Time In Coming, And They All Fell Asleep, Ahn Sahng Hong, the man the World Mission Society Church of God (WMSCOG) claims was the Second Coming of Jesus, predicted the end of the world in 2012.  These writings are in line with others that have been removed from WMSCOG books.  The Bible tells us that failed predictions are the sign of a false prophet (Deuteronomy 18:21-22) and besides Ahn Sahng Hong contradicting Scripture in numerous places, his 2012 failed prediction is yet another very clear indication that he could not have been Jesus.

The New Covenant Passover Church of God (NCPCOG), the original church founded by Ahn Sahng Hong of which his son is an elder, has made the book, among others, available on their website in Korean.  (Incidentally they have another website with pictures of Ahn Sahng Hong with his original church, his family, his handwritten notes that the WMSCOG does not have, etc).  We have taken the liberty of providing a translation out of the original book, and the failed 2012 prediction from Chapter 5, below:

제5 μž₯ λͺ¨μ„Έκ°€ 십계λͺ…을 두 번째 받은 것과 μ˜ˆμ–Έ
Chapter 5, Moses receiving the Ten Commandments for the second time and the prophecy

[Paragraph 1]

They built the tabernacle when Moses received the Ten Commandments for the second time, as a prophetic foreshadow of Jesus entering the heavenly Most Holy for the second time on October 22, 1844, which is the Day of Atonement on the 10thday of the 7th month (referring to the Hebrew calendar).

λͺ¨μ„Έκ°€ 십계λͺ…을 받은 날이 μ„±λ ₯ 7μ›” 10일인 λ°” κ·Έ ν›„λ‘œ 성막 μ§“κΈ°μ‹œμž‘ν•˜μ—¬ λ‹€μŒν•΄ μ •μœŒ μ΄ˆν•˜λ£¨λ‚ μ— 성막을 μ„Έμš°κ³  법ꢀλ₯Ό 듀여놓고 쀀곡식을 κ±°ν–‰ν•˜μ˜€μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. (좜40μž₯1-17절 μ°Έκ³ )
Moses received the Ten Commandments on the 10th day of the 7th month (Biblical/Hebrew calendar) and began to build the tabernacle and on the first day of the following year the ceremony of laying the ark in the tabernacle was held. (Exodus 40:1-17)

[Paragraph 2]
λͺ¨μ„Έκ°€ 두 번째 십계λͺ…을 받은 것은 μ˜ˆμˆ˜λ‹˜κ»˜μ„œ 두 번째 ν•˜λŠ˜ μ§€μ„±μ†Œμ— λ“€μ–΄κ°€μ‹œλŠ” κ²ƒμ˜ μ˜ˆμ–Έμ΄ λ©λ‹ˆλ‹€.
Moses receiving the Ten Commandments for the second time is prophesying that Jesus will enter a second time into the heavenly Most Holy.

λͺ¨μ„Έκ°€ μ„±λ ₯ 7μ›” 10일에 십계λͺ…을 λ°›κ³  성막 κ±΄μΆ•ν•˜κΈ° μ‹œμž‘ν•˜μ—¬ λ‹€μŒν•΄ μ •μ›” μ΄ˆμΌμΌμ— 성막 κ³§νšŒλ§‰μ„ μ„Έμš°κ³  또 증거ꢀλ₯Ό 듀여놓고 쀀곡식을 κ±°ν–‰ν•˜μ˜€μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.
Moses received the second Ten Commandments on the 10th day of the 7th month and began to build the tabernacle, and on the first day of the following year the ceremony was held for laying the ark of the testimony in the tabernacle.

Since the day that the Ten Commandments was received, it took 168 days to build the tabernacle and to hold the ceremony, and as the fulfillment of this prophecy, Jesus also went into the heavenly Most Holy on the 10th day of the 7th month in 1844 which is the Day of Atonement, and since then began to build the heavenly temple for 168 days namely 168 days until the ceremony.

[Paragraph 3]
μ˜ˆμ–Έμ„± 1일을 1λ…„μœΌλ‘œ(κ²”4μž₯6절, λ―Ό14μž₯34절) ν•΄μ„ν•˜κ²Œ λ©λ‹ˆλ‹€.
The prophecy is to be interpreted as 1 day to 1 year (Ezekiel 4:6; Numbers 14:34).

Therefore, adding 168 years to 1844 when Jesus entered the heavenly Most Holy, 2012 becomes the last day.

But you cannot help thinking about the words that the days will be shortened for the sake of the elect. (Matthew 24:22)

For the year 1844 issue, it’s specifically recorded on page 315 of “Bible Handbook” authored by Ahn Byung Han who is recognized by other biblical scholars, also on page 205 of “Great conflict of each era II”

[Paragraph 5, top of page 17. Passages translated from NIV version.]
(마24μž₯22절) β€œκ·Έ 날듀을 κ°ν•˜μ§€ μ•„λ‹ˆν•  것이면 λͺ¨λ“  μœ‘μ²΄κ°€ ꡬ원을 얻지 λͺ»ν•  κ²ƒμ΄λ‚˜ κ·ΈλŸ¬λ‚˜ νƒν•˜μ‹  μžλ“€μ„ μœ„ν•˜μ—¬ κ·Έ 날듀을 κ°ν•˜μ‹œλ¦¬λΌβ€
(Matthew 24:22) β€œIf those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.”

By the content of these words’ meaning it is clearly apparent that there is a set date, and as it is written,

[Paragraph 6]
(마25μž₯5-6절) β€œμ‹ λž‘μ΄ 더디 μ˜€λ―€λ‘œ λ‹€ μ‘Έλ©° μž˜μƒˆ 밀쀑에 μ†Œλ¦¬κ°€ λ‚˜λ˜ 보라 μ‹ λž‘μ΄λ‘œλ‹€ 맞으러 λ‚˜μ˜€λΌβ€
(Matthew 25:5-6) β€œThe bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep.”

in this verse, it is certainly clear that the date is set.

[Paragraph 7]

So, as recorded above, first, the works of Moses and the fulfillment of the prophecies were explained.

[Paragraph 8]

Now I will explain the second issue , namely, β€œthe bridegroom was a long time in coming.”

[Paragraph 9]
이 두 번째 것을 ν•΄λͺ…ν•˜κΈ° 전에 “ν•˜λ‚˜λ‹˜μ˜ λΉ„λ°€κ³Ό 생λͺ…μˆ˜μ˜ μƒ˜” μ±… 7-12νŽ˜μ΄μ§€μ— (’04년도 “ν•˜λ‚˜λ‹˜μ˜ λΉ„λ°€κ³Ό 생λͺ…μˆ˜μ˜ μƒ˜” 1-6νŽ˜μ΄μ§€) 기둝된 40λ…„μ˜ μ˜ˆμ–Έ, μ„œκΈ° 1988년이 세상 끝이 될 κ²ƒμ΄λ‹€ν•œ 문제λ₯Ό λ¨Όμ € 연ꡬ해 λ³΄μ‹œκ³  “μ‹ λž‘μ΄ 더디 μ˜€λ―€λ‘œ” ν•˜μ‹  κ·Έ 말씀이 μ–΄λŠ λ‚ μ§œμ—μ„œ 더디 μ˜€μ‹ λ‹€ 라고 ν•˜μ…¨λŠ”μ§€ 연ꡬ해 λ³΄μ‹œκΈ°λ₯Ό λ°”λžλ‹ˆλ‹€.
Before I explain the second issue, analyze the prophecy of 40 years and the year 1988 as the last day as recorded in β€œThe mystery of God and the fountain of life” book on pages 7-12 (Pages 1-6 of the 2004 edition of β€œThe mystery of God and the fountain of life”) also study the verse, “the bridegroom was a long time in coming” and the date he will be delayed .

[Paragraph 10]
성경에 μ˜ˆμ–Έν•˜μ‹  말씀이 λ‹€ μ •ν™•ν•˜κ²Œ λ§žμ§€ μ•ŠμœΌλ©΄ μ•ˆλ©λ‹ˆλ‹€.
All of the prophecies in the Bible must fit correctly.

예수 κ»˜μ„œ λ§μ”€ν•˜μ‹œκΈ°λ₯Ό
Jesus said

[Paragraph 11]
(마24μž₯35절) “μ²œμ§€λŠ” μ—†μ–΄μ§€κ² μœΌλ‚˜ λ‚΄ 말은 없어지지 μ•„λ‹ˆν•˜λ¦¬λΌ” ν•˜μ…¨μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 그러면 “ν—ˆλ‚˜λ‹˜μ˜ λΉ„λ°€κ³Ό 생λͺ…μˆ˜μ˜ μƒ˜” μ±… 7-12페이 지에 (’04년도 “ν•˜λ‚˜λ‹˜μ˜ λΉ„λ°€κ³Ό 생λͺ…μˆ˜μ˜ μƒ˜” 1-6νŽ˜μ΄μ§€) κΈ°λ‘ν•œ 말씀을 λ¨Όμ € 읽어 보도둝 ν•˜μ‹­μ‹œλ‹€.
(Matthew 24:35) β€œHeaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.” Let’s first read what’s written on pages 7-12 of β€œThe mystery of God and the fountain of life” (pages 1-6 of the 2004 edition of β€œThe mystery of God and the fountain of life”).

[New section, page 18]
μ˜ˆλ£¨μ‚΄λ ˜ 회볡과 40λ…„μ˜ μ˜ˆμ–Έ
Restoration of Jerusalem and the prophesy of 40 years.

Conclusion

Despite multiple failed end of the word predictions, some members of the WMSCOG hold fast to their beliefs.  Other members have awoken and realized that these failed predictions and any denials that they were ever made, are indicative of errors that exist within the doctrine, and have decided to free themselves of the spiritual captivity they once experienced.

  9. ggegegegege says

    hypocrites, you all still do not know.everything is happening like at the time of Jesus. Judgement is delayed because of you all.. poisoning the mind of all people..

    1. T.H. says

      Judgement is being delayed? How did we supposedly FORCE God to delay His judgement? This is NOT even possible! Even more, wouldn’t the poisoning of peoples minds by all of us outsiders make God want to judge us for our wrongdoings? ggegegegege please wake up and look at what you are being told. Things don’t add up!

  10. mountainmom says

    No ggegegegege, everything is NOT happening like at the time of Jesus. For one major thing, Jesus performed miracles. Ahnsahnghong didn’t, and the “Mother” doesn’t either. And those who follow the Bible don’t just follow anyone that others say is Jesus. The Bible warned us about that. It says there will be many false prophets. Unfortunately, the Wms members don’t know they are being deceived by false prophets. And by Koreans who want their money and laugh at them for being so easily fooled into giving it all. I wish it wasn’t so, but it is.

  11. Cris says

    I have a question. If Ahn Sahng-Hong already predicted world ends on 1988 then how could he again predict same on 2012. I don’t think he is a fool. Can anyone predict world end twice when he had already predicted for 1988. Yes it would be possible if he was alive after 1988, then he can predict again for 2012
    please somebody explain…I really want to know

  12. Jnyc says

    Those that have been led astray by this Satanic cult choose to be led away. God does not put anyone in hell, people choose to walk into it. I know someone who has been sucked into this blasphemous cult. They refuse to listen to reason, refuse to investigate the facts, refuse to take the twisted doctrines of his cults and test in the light of truth. They prefer to remain in darkness as the pagan idol worshippers did. Because the bliss they get from this place is the trade they made with Satan.
    The feeling of being on the right path while being fooled that everyone is on the wrong path makes them feel special. They feel unique and chosen. Deaf, dumb, and blind they refuse to follow God’s law directing us to always seek knowledge and question those that make divine claims. They are the blind being led by the blind and lead others that choose to be blind.

    Despite how much logic and reason and evidence to present to them, it usually falls on deaf ears. When they choose to walk away from God, God only increases their distance. To them truth is not important, facts are not important. They accept what they are spoon fed blindly, refusing to question the false gods they worship. They believe a living woman in Korea is God because of her ” association ” with Mr. Ahnsahnghong – a false prophet who has been cannonized to the status of God.

    Ignorantly they bow down and worship this dead man and his surviving wife insulting God by lowering the creator of the universe in which we are speck within a speck within an ocean of smaller specks. God’s creation and eternal presence is beyond the human beings comphrehension. He is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent. Yet these idol worshippers reduce this greatness to an imperfect mortal man who spend the first 35 years as a Buddhist. A man that made false predictions and contrived lies. To them God now has flaws. Even more blasphemy, they have created a god out of his divorced wife who lives in a palace and has another occupation as the chairman of a “charity” in which you go to the website asks you to donate money!!!

    If she were God she would not need to post a website to beg for money!

    Do not feel sorry for the fools that choose this path. They do it because they decide. They are presented with the truth yet discard to walk with Satan.
