The purpose of Christ Ahnsahnghong in publishing the book, “The New Jerusalem and the Bride: Interpretation on Women’s Veil”
It is true that Christ Ahnsahnghong published this book. However, in order to understand the meaning of the book correctly, we need to understand the situation at that time and the reason why Christ Ahnsahnghong published the book. Now if we ignore the history behind the publishing of the book and only focus on the text in the book, we will create misinterpretations like the ones on this link.
So why did Christ Ahnsahnghong write the book?
In the early 1980s, a woman named Um Soo In was attending the Church of God. One day, she looked at one Christ Ahnsahnghong’s books that was in His bag without His permission and noticed that Father wrote about Mother appearing as the Bride in the future. She became obsessed by the delusion that she would make herself the Bride. From then on, Um Soo In started to insist that she herself was the Bride, the Heavenly Mother, quoting the book of Christ Ahnsahnghong. Um Soo In even tried to change the teachings Christ Ahnsahnghong gave us and she tempted the Church members by saying that she was entrusted with the mission as the Bride to have women take off their veils.
Due to Um Soo In actions, Christ Ahnsahnghong wrote the book “The New Jerusalem and the Bride: Interpretation on Women’s Veil” and He distributed copies to the Churches. He did this in order to judge Um Soo In and her followers for distorting the truth, and in this way the church members would not be deceived by her false teachings (you can see this in the preface of the book). Christ Ahnsahnghong also went around visiting the churches and delivering sermons on the same context of the book.
Why is this book not available in the Church?
Now do you know what Christ Ahnsahnghong did after the matter of Um Soo In was settled? He collected all the copies of the book, this He did to show that he did not want the members to continue reading this book. It was a special measures law needed for that time only. However, those who deny Heavenly Mother stubbornly insist on the text book, yet ignore Christ Ahnsahnghong’s will in writing the book. It is no different than insisting Apostle Peter is Satan because Jesus called Him Satan once.
When an enemy approaches a castle, the king often commands for the gate of the fortress to be closed completely, but does the gate remain closed forever? No, once the enemy is defeated the gate is opened once again. Christ Ahnsahnghong did the same thing at that time; He thoroughly closed the door to the truth about Heavenly Mother in 1983 in order to drive away the hindrance from the false Bride. However in the year 1984, He opened the door to the truth about Heavenly Mother again and He testified about Her existence.
