1. The World Mission Society Church of God's (WMSCOG) Interpretation of David's Throne and Its Origins

The WMSCOG claims that Ahn Sahng-hong fulfilled the prophecy of David's throne. However, the concept of David's throne was first introduced in 1978 by Eom Soo-In's book, God Who Came in the Flesh.
Eom argued that, based on Melchizedek’s prophecy, the Second Coming Christ would be baptized at the age of 33 and complete the 37 years of gospel ministry left unfinished during His first coming.

Ahn Sahng-hong adopted this idea and recorded in his handwritten notes that he began studying the truth and preaching the gospel at age 33 in 1951. He believed he would complete 37 years of gospel ministry and ascend to heaven in 1988 (at the age of 70). However, when he unexpectedly passed away in 1985, WMSCOG leader Kim Joo-cheol reinterpreted the timeline, calculating the 37 years starting from 1948 and concluding in 1985.

2. The Biblical Concept of David's Throne: A Spiritual Perspective

In the Bible, David’s throne symbolically represents the spiritual throne of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, who is the King of spiritual Israel.
When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the people cried, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” recognizing Him as the spiritual heir to David’s throne.

Spiritual significance of David’s throne:

• David laying the foundation of the temple → Jesus establishing the foundation of the church through the 12 apostles.
• Solomon completing the temple → The Holy Spirit completing the spiritual temple, the early church.

3. David's Throne and the Historical Flow of the Early Church

The history of physical Israel after David reflects the spiritual history of the early church after Jesus:

• David laying the temple's foundation → Jesus establishing the foundation of the church through the apostles.
• Solomon completing the temple → The Holy Spirit completing the early church as a spiritual temple.
• Division of Israel → The early church splitting into the Eastern Church (Jerusalem) and the Western Church (Rome).
• Fall of Northern Israel (Assyria): The Western Church (Rome) aligned with Roman emperors and fell into corruption.
• Fall of Southern Judah (Babylon): The Eastern Church was absorbed into the corrupted Western Church.
• Birth of Catholicism: The captivity of both Israel and Judah in Babylon fulfilled the prophecy of the birth of the Roman Catholic Church.

4. The Prophetic Secrets of Babylon's Liberation

The physical history of Israel's liberation from Babylon symbolizes the spiritual history of the church as sealed in the Book of Daniel:

• Liberation from Babylon (Persian rule) → Christians freed from Catholic oppression but subjected to Protestant dominance.
• Greek Empire (Alexander the Great) → Protestants freed believers but led them into disillusionment, exemplified by William Miller’s failed Second Advent predictions.
• Greek Empire's Division → After Miller, denominations like Seventh-day Adventists, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and feast-keeping sects rose to dominate believers.
• Seleucid Empire and Antiochus IV → Ahn Sahng-hong (through Seventh-day Adventism) and his successor Kim Joo-cheol (WMSCOG) dominate their followers.

Ahn Sahng-hong’s rise parallels the Seleucid Empire, while Kim Joo-cheol's activities resemble Antiochus IV’s oppressive reign. By deifying Ahn Sahng-hong and Zahng Gil-ja, Kim enforces idolatry akin to the two-horned beast prophesied in Revelation.

5. David's Throne and the Second Antichrist

The Book of Daniel foretells the rise of a second Antichrist after Babylon’s liberation.
Understanding post-Babylonian history reveals the second Antichrist church that emerged after Catholicism.

The WMSCOG worships Ahn Sahng-hong and Zahng Gil-ja, distorting prophecies and practicing religious control, embodying the characteristics of the Antichrist church.

Conclusion: Jesus, the King of Spiritual Israel

David’s throne symbolizes the fulfillment of spiritual Israel through Jesus Christ.
The WMSCOG’s interpretation of David’s throne lacks biblical foundation and stems from distortions by Eom Soo-In and Ahn Sahng-hong’s evolving doctrines.

To discern the true church, one must correctly interpret the sealed prophecies of Daniel and Revelation. Only through this understanding can believers identify and follow the genuine spiritual Israel led by Christ.
