Ahnsahnghong RumorsChrist Ahnsahnghong

Ahnsahnghong or Armstrong, Who Restored the Passover First

Christ Ahnsahnghong restored the Passover of the New covenant, not Herber W. Armstrong

Is Ahnsahnghong the Christ, even though Herbert W. Armstrong came first?

 

Friend: What makes you think Christ Ahnsahnghong is the Second Coming Christ?

Me: Because he restored the Passover of the New Covenant, which was not being kept since 325 A.D.

Friend: You are wrong, before Ahnsahnghong came, the Worldwide Church of God established by Herbert W. Armstrong was already keeping the Passover. That means that based on what you are saying, that would make Armstrong the Second Coming of Christ.

This is the conversation I had with a friend the other day as I preached to him about Christ Ahnsahnghong, the Second Coming of Christ. Now, this is not the first time I have heard this. I know that those who speak against the Church of God make the same insistence as my friend. For this reason, I am writing this article to discuss this matter.

 

Why is restoring the Passover significant to identify Second Coming Christ?

One of the many prophecies about Christ’s second coming may be found in the book of Hebrews and it states as follows:

 

Hebrews 9:28 — “…so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.”

 

As stated in the prophecy above, Second Coming Christ will appear to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him. This means that whoever brings salvation, He is Second Coming Christ.

Then, we must know the definition of salvation according to the Bible?

 

Luke 1:77 — “…to give his people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins,”

 

According to the Bible, salvation is receiving the forgiveness of sins. We understand that only God can give us salvation, since it is only God who can forgive our sins (Mark 2:7). This means that God left us a sign to recognize Him at His second coming. That sign is to bring the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of sins!

 

Celebrate the Passover of the New Covenant to receive the forgiveness of sins.

When you study the Bible you can see that the only way to receive the forgiveness of sins is through the blood of Christ (Eph 1:7). That is why you may often hear Christians say, “I am saved through the blood of Christ”. What many of these Christians do not understand is that we can only receive the blood of Christ through celebrating the New Covenant Passover.

 

Matthew 26:17-28 — “… So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover… While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, ‘Take and eat; this is my body.’ Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, ‘Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.‘”

 

The only night that Jesus promised us the forgiveness of sins through His blood was on the Passover night. Thus, when we celebrate the Passover, we are accepting God’s covenant,or promise, for the forgiveness of sins.

As the Bible describes, salvation is to receive the knowledge of the forgiveness of sins; and forgiveness of sins is obtained when we celebrate the Passover. In this way, we understand that celebrating the Passover gives us salvation.

 

Forgiveness of Sins = Eternal Life.

According to the Bible, the wage of sins is death (Ro. 6:23). This means that if we receive the forgiveness of sins, then we also overcome death. For this reason, we may also understand that celebrating the Passover allows us to receive eternal life. This is something that Jesus taught as well.

 

John 6:53-54 — “Jesus said to them, ‘I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day…'”

 

When we celebrate the Passover, we eat the body of Christ and drink His blood (Lk 22:19-20; 1 Cor. 10:16). For this reason, we may say that the Passover gives us eternal life.

 

Armstrong did not restore the Passover of the New Covenant.

The dictionary defines the word “restore” as follows:

 

Restore: to bring back (a previous right, practice, custom, or situation); to reinstate.

 

We cannot say that Armstrong restored the Passover, because Armstrong did not teach the Passover for the same reasons that Jesus did. Jesus taught that the Passover gives forgiveness of sins and eternal life. Armstrong only taught the Passover as a law, since he read it in the book of Leviticus, and not explaining the meaning of celebrating the Passover.

Other theologians of the world, know that the Passover is kept once a year, and that the bread and wine represent Jesus’ flesh and blood. However, it was only Christ Ahnsahnghong who taught and emphasized to us the importance of the Passover, to receive God’s promise of eternal life and forgiveness of sins. That is why it is only Christ Ahnsahnghong who restored the Passover, the way of salvation, and thus He fulfills the prophecy of Hebrews 9:28.

 

Armstrong is far from the prophecies about the Second Coming Christ.

Christ Ahnsahnghong is Jesus who came a second time and there is much more evidence in addition to the restoration of the Passover of the New Covenant. The one who fulfilled all the prophecies of the Bible is Christ Ahnsahnghong. That’s why the World Mission Society Church of God proclaims to the world that Christ Ahnsahnghong is Jesus who has come a second time.

Please understand that we confidently believe Christ Ahnsahnghong is the second coming of Christ because of the fulfillment of Bible prophecy and His restoration of the Passover is one of many signs to recognize He is God. As I will explain below, when we take a look at more and more prophecies about the second coming of Christ, it becomes clearer that Armstrong has nothing to do with Christ. The prophecies about Second Coming Christ are all fulfilled by Christ Ahnsahnghong. Below are just two examples of prophecies about the second coming of Christ, which were fulfilled by Christ Ahnsahnghong and not by Armstrong.

 

1. Christ must appear and be baptized when the fig tree blossoms again. 

According to the prophecy of the fig tree, Second Coming Christ has to appear in 1948 when the nation of Israel was rebuilt. However, Armstrong was baptized in 1927 and became a minister in 1931. In other words, he started his ministry before 1948. Armstrong did not fulfill the prophecy of the fig tree.

2. Christ must appear from east with the Seal of God.

According to Revelation 7:1-3, the Second Coming Christ must bring the seal of God right after 1945 when World War 2 ended. He must also appear from the east of the island of Patmos on the outskirts of the nation Greece. According to Rev 1:9, John was on the island of Patmos when he saw the Savior coming from the east, and He must teach the Passover is the seal of God which protects us from the last disaster.

However, Armstrong began his ministry “before 1945” and he appeared in the west (United States). Armstrong never taught that the Passover is the seal of God, which protects us from the last disaster. Therefore, Armstrong is far from the fulfillment of the prophecies of Second Coming Christ as identified in the Bible.

 

Herbert W. Armstrong did not restore the Passover, Christ Ahnsahnghong did

Short History of Herbert Armstrong and his church. 

  • 1892: Born in a Quaker Family. Kept Sunday service regularly
  • 1924: Moved to Eugene, Oregon. Later, his wife converted to one of the branches of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church, which did not acknowledge the authority of Ellen G. White. Also, Armstrong insisted that God the Father and God the Son are different just as Jehovah’s Witnesses’ claim, and that the Holy Spirit is not an entity with human characteristics. Similar to the Mormon doctrine, he insisted that the Native Americans are one of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel. Armstrong argued that the people from England — the English people who crossed to the new continent, including Americans — are the direct lineal descendants of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel. His wife began to preach to him about the Sabbath, and from this point on, Armstrong began to study the Bible and had the conviction that the Sabbath is true.
  • 1927: Armstrong was baptized (at the age of 35)
  • 1931: Became a minister in the Church
  • 1934: Established the Radio Church of God through a radio broadcast
  • 1968: Renamed the Church to the Worldwide Church of God
  • 1970s: The church was divided into different smaller sects
  • 1986: Armstrong died (He worked as a minister for 55 years, and 59 years from the time of his baptism)

 

After reviewing that brief history and studying about the prophecies about Second Coming Christ, you will be able to see many points why Herbert W. Armstrong is not the second coming of Christ. Furthermore, the Passover he taught was not the restoration of the Passover that Jesus preached and celebrated with the Apostles.

In these days, it is only Christ Ahnsahnghong who fulfilled all the Bible prophecies about the Second Coming Christ, including the prophecy about the restoration of the Passover of the New Covenant. If you have questions about Christ Ahnsahnghong, please visit your nearest World Mission Society Church of God and study the Bible with an open mind.

    This post about Christ Ahnsahnghong is so clear that he is the true Second Coming of Christ. He fulfills all of the prophecies of the Bible. He preached that unless we eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood we have no life(spiritual) in us. Jn 6:53. He fulfilled the prophecies of King David, Melchizedek, coming with a New Name, bringing Salvation(Passover), having the Seal of the Living God coming from the East, and many more prophecies. He is Our True God, the Almighty Heavenly Father Ahnsahnghong!

    This is a great article and has once again reminded me that Christ Ahnsahnghong is truly God. The Passover can only be brought to us by God, since we receive the flesh and blood of God when we celebrate the Passover. Anyone can know about the Passover just by reading the bible, just as Armstrong did. However to restore the Passover only God can do. I now understand more clearly why God established so many prophecies that He must fulfill. God doesn’t just fulfill one prophecy, but multiple so we can have firm conviction in Him and be saved. As mentioned in the article, Christ Ahnsahnghong has fulfilled all the bible prophecies in our times and has brought us salvation. Although many try to hinder the truth, it will always prevail!

    Some have strayed from these and turned away to empty discussion. They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not understand what they are saying or the things they insist on so confidently. (‭1 Timothy‬ ‭1‬:‭6-7‬ NET)
    Armstrong insisted confidently on things of the law. however, without UNDERSTANDING why, how, or what the law does is simply just “empty discussion”.

    Without knowing the meaning of the Passover and believing it is the way Christ allowed us to recieve the forgiveness of sins and eternal life then what purpose is it? Judas participated in it 2000 years ago. However, he did not realize the true meaning behind it. Nor did he believe in its promise that the true God was indeed there in the flesh giving him eternal life at that moment.

    Do not make the same mistake, all questions can be answered if you are willing to listen.
    The World Mission Society Church of God is the only church where God almighty, Christ Ahnsahnghong and heavenly Mother, dwell!

    Another strong point in the article, to keep in mind, is that the Passover is established to give us the forgiveness of sins. The reason this is important is that the sin Passover forgives, most notably, is THE SIN that we committed in heaven. The bible explains that due to this grievous sin in heaven our spirits cannot return to heaven and are sentenced to die. Once we celebrate the Passover, however, our sin in heaven is forgiven. Therefore, we are also forgiven of the penalty of death and can return back to heaven.

    The problem with Armstrong is that he didn’t know, acknowledge or teach that we sinned in Heaven which would disqualify him from knowing the true reason why we need the Passover in the first place. If Armstrong doesn’t understand the true reason why Passover needs to be celebrated it is impossible to say he “restored” the Passover that he himself doesn’t fully grasp.

    Thankfully, in God’s true church, the World Missions Society Church of God, the members were well prepared, by God Himself, to demolish spiritual arguments.

    Thank you Christ Ahnsahnghong for your great sacrifice to fulfill EVERY single prophecy so that your children could recognize you WITHOUT any hindrance!!

    Thank you so much for posting this article! There are so many other things that Armstrong taught and aren’t, and Christ Ahnsahnghong taught and explained the prophecies of the Bible, there’s really no comparison of them.

    I had no idea the Bible was full of prophecies. I typically saw it is an important book but I did not know the value of that book and why I was drawn to it. I want to seek God with all of my heart and soul and this article has helped me work towards my goal. I am so thankful that there are so many signs to recognize God. God warned us from the Bible that many false Christs would appear. A fraudulent Christ would work to appear like the true Christ. As the article and the Bible indicates, we need God to receive the forgiveness of sins and receive so many other blessings such as eternal life. The Passover seems to be the answer to everything in the Bible so I want to learn more about it. Again, I am glad to see that this article points out of some obvious differences between the teachings of Ahnsahnghong and Armstrong. I can only imagine how I may have been deceived if I did not fully understand even the basics teachings of the Passover left by Jesus. Jesus, Himself, promised that the Holy Spirit would reteach everything that He taught. That in itself is another sign to recognize our God. The Bible’s teachings are clear and it is even more clear seeing that Ahnsahnghong is the only one to accurately remind of us these teachings. I want to learn more about Him because the Bible and His actions testify that He surely is the Second Coming Christ I have waited to know and follow. I really want to go to Heaven and my soul feels at peace and comforted by the earnest teachings of Ahnsahnghong. We are God’s children and I am confident that God wants to protect us from all harm, especially the harm of false testimony and deceit. I look forward to studying more so I can learn more about the amazing work and evidence left by God to lead me home.

    Wow this is amazing! When you see what Armstrong did, nothing aligns with the prophecies of 2nd Coming Christ! Truly Christ Ahnsahnghong is the one who was to come! Anyone can look into a book and see what it says but only God is able to accomplish something and establish the truth that the Bible says only God is capable of doing!

    This was a shocker… good thing I was able to study the prophecy of King David and The Lesson of the fig tree if you haven’t done soo I highly recommend to do so. That way you can fully understand the True 2nd coming Christ and don’t be mistaken its definitely not Mr. Herbert. 🙂 This article was helpful thanks for the article.

    Thank God that the prophecies given to us through the bible protect us from falsehood. It is so clear through the prophecies how we can recognize the 2nd coming Christ. Only Ahnsahnghong fulfcilled the prophecy of coming as King David and also coming in fulfilment of the Fig tree. With out God’s words through the holy scriptures I don’t know how else I could follow God

    Truly, give thanks to God Elohim for giving us awareness of the falsehood and rumors that are going around. Truly, F&M has already prepared everything for us to be fully protected with the Armor of God by already establishing the Holy Bible for our Salvation. Only Christ Ahnsahnghong is True Secong Coming Christ because he fulfilled Bible Prophecies.

    Wow, truly God Ahnsahnghong made several prophecies in which only He could fulfill to leave us with out a shadow of a doubt.

    It seems this guy just stumble and passed over the true meaning and importance of the Passover.

    Also Passover doesn’t mean anything with out Heavenly Mother. So a church can keep all the Commands and Feasts of the New Covenant but

    with out the bride who comes with the Spirit to give the churches the water of life none of the feasts matter and are kept in vain.

      It’s true! God’s church has 100% of God’s truth and Second Coming Christ must fulfill MANY prophecies. This includes revealing the spiritual Eve. Passover is required to have eternal life, but that promise is fulfilled by Heavenly Mother. Even if a church keeps the Passover according to God’s regulation, but they do not have our Spiritual Mother (Gal 4:26, Rm 1:19-20) then they cannot be the children of promise who receive eternal life from God (Gal 4:28-31, 1 Jn 2:25). Then is that the true Passover established by God? If we want to become the true children of God (who are the children of promise/eternal life), then let’s keep the Passover in the church with Father, Mother, and Their children which is testified in the Bible 🙂

    Thank you for posting this. There is so much evidence that Christ Ahnsahnghong is God and I’m thankful this website brings all these things to light. Once again we can see that at the church of God there is nothing to be hidden and all questions and concerns are answered and addressed accordingly.
