[March 1985] Immediately after Ahn Sahng-hong's funeral, Zhang Gil-ja claimed that he was God's wife. The members of the Busan Headquarters Church protested and resisted. Kim Joo-cheol, the instigator of the incident, wrote an oath that he had made a mistake in order to cover up the incident and asked for forgiveness from the members of the Busan headquarters church

[June 1985] Kim Joo-cheol and his aides convened a meeting. And Jang Gil-jah was chosen as God's wife. As a result of this incident, the headquarters church in Busan and the church in Seoul were divided. The name of the church was changed to Ahn Sahng-Hong Witnesses Church of God.

[1988] Gil-Ja Jang and Joo-Cheol Kim declared 1988 as the end of the world. With Gil-ja Jang as the leader, in front of the 63 Building in Seoul, he shouted that the 63 Building was collapsing. Many people were deceived by Gil-Ja Jang and Joo-Cheol Kim to donate their property, and various incidents such as divorce and running away occurred.

[1999] About 500 Church of God in Daegu withdrew from the group. Hundreds of Zhang Gil-ja's followers collectively assaulted members who were leaving to retake the church. Daegu MBC News reported intensively for three days, and the perpetrators were imprisoned. Because of these issues, three public broadcasting stations in Korea focused on the issue of the Church of God. Zhang Gil-ja was asked for an interview, but God refused, saying he did not have time to meet a human. The Church of God claimed that the whole world would be destroyed due to computer malfunction caused by Y2K. Those who were deceived by Jang Gil-ja and Kim Joo-cheol suffered damages such as divorce, running away from home, and confiscation of property.

[2000] The Church of God established its headquarters in Imae-dong, Seongnam-si. Gil-Ja Jang and Joo-Cheol Kim incited the believers to say that the end would come in 1999. However, they were building a large church in Imae-dong, Seongnam-si, and the year of completion was September 2000. After this incident, like a chameleon, the name was changed to the World Mission Society Church of God.

[2001] Started volunteer activities such as cleaning and blood donation to change the perception of a pseudo-church

[2002] The Church of God actively participated in international events. They acted as supporters in sporting events and received many awards and decorations.

[2003~2011] In 2003, I did more volunteer work. Saints abroad also participated in the volunteer work. The overseas saints also received the Queen's Award of England. The Church of God started advertising through the media to publicize their good deeds on a large scale.

[2012] The Church of God declared the eschatology once again saying that the world will be destroyed in 2012. Many believers who were deceived by Jang Gil-ja and Kim Joo-cheol donated their property, resulting in divorce and running away from home.

[2013] In 2012 the world was declared to be doomed, but it did not come true. So, to dispel this, a new logic called the inspection period was asserted. The kingdom of heaven has been completed, but it is claimed that it is a period of final inspection to see if it has been built well before moving in.

[2014] Kim Joo-cheol's claim that the world would perish was false. Joo-cheol Kim of the Church of God declared that we must save the world's population and preach the gospel to 7 billion people. As the fraudulent acts of Gil-Ja Jang and Joo-Cheol Kim continued, a group of victims of the Church of God appeared and held a large-scale demonstration to publicize the evil deeds of the Church of God. The Church of God followed or used violence to block the activities of the victims' group. Protest banners were smashed and protesters were sprayed with paint. In this case, dozens of members of the Church of God were arrested by the police and tried. The Church of God filed civil and criminal lawsuits against the victims who revealed their true identity. He filed more than 150 lawsuits against the victims, but lost most of them.

[2015] A Korean court ruled that the Church of God is a pseudo-religion. It was estimated that the amount of money the Church of God earned through religious fraud would be around KRW 3 trillion.

[2017] The Church of God purchased 50 billion won worth of buildings with cash or most of the buildings with cash earned from the eschatology. Kim Joo-cheol became a real estate tycoon.

[2018-2019] Opposition movements against the move-in of the Church of God are unfolding in various cities in Korea.

[2020] Churches switched to online worship due to the spread of Corona, but the Church of God was criticized for being caught while watching face-to-face worship. Members of the Church of God who kept the Passover were collectively infected with Corona.

[2021] Many believers who kept the Passover at the Church of God were infected with Corona. So some churches were closed. Many believers realized that Gil-Ja Jang and Joo-Cheol Kim had committed fraud and began to leave the church.

Everything so far has been recorded as fact. If there is a problem, I will take legal punishment. I hope that you realize Jang Gil-ja and Kim Joo-cheol's fraudulent behavior and get out of it as soon as possible.
