Jerusalem Mother

In the Bible, God is referred to
through plural terms instead of singular terms, and it is written that God has a
male image and a female image. Therefore, God exists in the male image and in
the female image.

Have you ever thought about why we call God our Father?

It is written
that God's invisible qualities have been clearly seen and can be understood
through what has been made (Rom. 1:20). Is there any creature that is given life
through only their father, alone, without a mother being present?

We need to
study this matter carefully.


The
Children of Promise
The Bible calls us "the children of promise."

  Gal. 4:28
『Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of
promise.』

Then, what promise did God make to those who are called
the children of promise? God promised them eternal life.

1 John 2:25 『And this is
what he promised us?even eternal life.』
How is eternal life given to us?
The Bible says that all things were created by God's will (Rev. 4:11). Among all
of the many creatures that God has created, let us focus on the mothers. Since
it is written that God created all things by His will, a certain will of God was
expressed when He created mothers on this earth. As you know, all creatures have
a mother figure. There is not a single creature that can come into existence
without a mother.

Our physical life is given to us through our physical
mother. For 280 days, a baby's hands, feet, eyes and ears form within his
mother's womb. When the time comes, the mother will give birth to her child,
shedding blood. We are given life through our mother's great pain. How about our
spiritual life? Just as our physical life was given to us through our physical
mother, our spiritual life is given to us through our spiritual
Mother.

The
Bible clearly testifies that our heavenly Mother exists, and that only our
heavenly Mother can give us eternal life.


God's Two
Images
Let
us study through the Bible to discover the existence of our spiritual Mother.

  Gen. 1:26-27
『Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in
our
  likeness...” So God created man in his own image, in
the image of God he
  created him; male and female he
created them.』

The above verse states that God has two images?a male
image and a female image. Until now, we have only known and called upon the male
image of God: “Father.” Then how should we call upon the female image of God?
Logically, we should refer to God’s female image as “Mother.” This is why God
had said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness.”

The word “us” is a plural term.
“Elohim,” the Hebrew word used in place of “God” in Genesis 1:26, directly
translates to “Gods,” the plural form of the word “God.” Therefore, the
references to “us” in the book of Genesis refer to God the Father and God the
Mother. Some say that the word “us” in this verse indicates God the Father, God
the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. If this argument is correct, there should be
three types of people in the world?those who were made in the image of God the
Father, those who resemble the image of God the Son, and those created in the
image of the Holy Spirit. However, on this earth there are only two types of
people: men and women. However, the “Gods” mentioned in Genesis 1:26 are the
male image of God and the female image of God?God the Father and God the Mother.


The Will of God in Creating Eve, Adam’s
Wife
Let
us study more truth regarding the heavenly Mother through the character Adam,
written in the book of Romans.

  Rom. 5:14 『...Adam, who was a pattern of the
one to come.』

Since the book of Romans was
written after Jesus had already ascended, the “one to come” mentioned in the
above verse indicates the Second Coming Jesus. Adam was created to lead us to
the Second Coming Jesus. Then, what was God’s will in creating Eve, Adam’s
wife?

  Gen. 2:21 『So the LORD God caused the man to
fall into a deep sleep; and

  while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs
and closed up the place

  with flesh.』

  Gen. 3:20 『Adam named his wife Eve, because
she would become the
  mother of all the living.』

The name “Eve” means “life.” Eve
was called “the mother of all the living.” God’s intent in creating Adam was to
reveal the Second Coming Jesus, our heavenly Father, and Eve was created to
reveal the Second Coming Jesus’ wife, our heavenly Mother. In other words, just
as Eve was called “the mother of all the living,” we can only be given eternal
life through our heavenly Mother. Eve represents our heavenly
Mother.


“I Will Raise Him Up at the Last
Day”
Two
thousand years ago, Jesus said, repeatedly, that He would wait until the last
day to raise up all of the people who came to Him (John 6:39, 40, 44. 54). Why
did Jesus need to wait until the last day to save His people? What was He
waiting for? The account of the six-day Creation?in the book of Genesis, chapter
one?represents the spiritual Creation which would take place over six thousand
years. Just as the six-day Creation ended after Eve had appeared, so would the
six-thousand year spiritual Creation end with the appearance of our spiritual
Mother. Jesus could have given His people life during His first coming; however,
Jesus waited for the appearance of the heavenly Mother because life would be
given through Her.


The
Wedding of the Lamb
Let’s study some of the testimonies about Mother written
in the book of Revelation.

  Rev. 19:7 『Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For
the wedding of
  the Lamb has come, and his bride
has made herself ready.』

The book of Revelation was written after Jesus had
ascended, and it prophesied about the things that were to happen in the last
days. Thus, “the Lamb” mentioned in the above verse indicates the Second Coming
Jesus: Ahnsahnghong. When Jesus came to the earth for the first time, two
thousand years ago, His wife was not yet ready. The Bride, the wife of the Lamb,
would appear in the last days.

In the book of Revelation, chapter 21, the Bride?the wife
of the Lamb?is described as “Jerusalem.”

  Rev. 21:9-10 『...One of the seven angels
who had the seven bowls full of
  the seven last plagues came and said to me, "Come, I
will show you the
  bride, the wife of the Lamb." And he...showed me the
Holy City, Jerusalem,
  coming down out of heaven from
God.』

Apostle
Paul testified that this Holy City, Jerusalem, which would come down out of
heaven, is our Mother. Gal. 4:26 『But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and
she is our mother.』


Children
of the Free Woman
Apostle Paul testified that we are the children of
promise, the children of the free woman, because we have been given the promise
of eternal life from our heavenly Mother.

  Gal. 4:28 『Now you,
brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise.』

  Gal. 4:31
『Therefore, brothers, we are not children of the slave woman,
but
  of the free woman.』


If we are the children of the free woman, what should we
call Her? We should call Her our “Mother.” We cannot have eternal life unless we
receive the heavenly Mother. Eternal life, which God has promised us, is given
through the heavenly Mother.
