♪ About the East ♪


The Bible prophesies that when Jesus comes to the earth for a second time, He will come in a cloud [in the flesh] in the same way He came for the first time. Therefore, there must be prophecies which testify where He will appear in His second coming. At the time of His first coming, it had been prophesied that Jesus would come from Bethlehem. Like this, the Bible also prophesies about where He will appear in His second coming. The Bible prophesies that He will be born in Korea, located in the east, at the ends of the earth.


The Second Coming Christ, Ahnsahnghong, was born, in the flesh, in Korea-the land in the east-in 1948, according to the prophecies of the Bible. How can we not bow down before God when every word of His prophecy is accomplished? We, the members of the Church of God, believe what is written in the Bible. We sincerely hope that you may recognize the Second Coming Christ, of whom the Bible prophesies.

☆Veil -Men Ought Not to Cover Their Heads☆

In some churches, the male priests cover their heads; however, this teaching is not from the Bible.

A long time ago, when Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the Ten Commandments, the Israelites could not look directly at Moses' face because he was so radiant after meeting God. The people were afraid to come near him, so he put a veil over his face. When he went to speak with God, however, he took it off (Ex. 34:29-35). From then on, the Israelites covered their faces with shrouds when they read the Old Testament.


Just as Moses took off the shroud when he came before God, we are to meet God [Christ] without a shroud. In this instance, they shroud does not imply veils that cover the "heads" of women, but it signifies the shroud that covered the people's "faces" when they read the Old Testament.


Through 1 Corinthians chapter 11, we can understand that women ought to cover their heads during times of worship and that men ought not to cover their heads.

Through 2 Corinthians chapter 3, we can understand that now, regardless of gender, we need to take away the shroud which has covered our faces and has not allowed our eyes to clearly see the truth of the Bible.

☆ Veil - Woman's Veil is natated in the Section Titles of the Bible ☆

Some versions of the Bible have section titles which summarize the contents of the chapter which follows. Let's look at some of the section titles used for 1 Corinthians chapter 11.

ESV (English Standard Version) - Head Coverings

TEV (Today's English Version) - Covering the Head in Worship

These section titles display the Apostle Paul's true purpose in writing this chapter.
1 Corinthians 11 lists all of the reasons why women have to cover their heads during worship.
No commandment of God is trivial.

All of the commandments are given to us for our salvation and heavenly blessings.
Women should cover their heads when they worship or pray so that they may give glory to God.

The Bible says,"Arrogance is like the evil of idolatry."
