Eve, Reality of LIfe–Just as life is important for each of us physically, the spiritual life is the same. Especially, the spiritual life or the eternal life is essential for our salvation. What we do not realize is how to receive the spiritual life? And who is the source of life? Let us find out what “life” is in the bible.
Our Spiritual Status
Eve, Reality of LIfe–The reason life is important to us is because we do not have life in us. The bible teaches everyone on this earth is destined to die because of our sins. Nobody is free from this fate of sin and death.
Romans 5:12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned—
Because of the sin of Adam, death entered into the world to all men. Through this we can understand that the sin of Adam was written to us to teach us the sins we committed in heaven. And because of our sins we got banished from heaven (the garden of Eden) and came to this earth.
Jesus’ Teaching About The Spiritually Dead
Eve, Reality of LIfe–Jesus teaches us that we do not have eternal life in us too.
Matthew 8:21 21 Another disciple said to him, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.” 22 But Jesus told him, “Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead.” (NIV)
Matthew 8:21 21 Another of his disciples said, “Lord, first let me return home and bury my father.” 22 But Jesus told him, “Follow me now. Let the spiritually dead bury their own dead. (NLT)
In this verse, Jesus teaches that people living in this world are actually ‘the dead’ in the spiritual sense. The dead mean they do not have ‘LIFE’ in them. That is, they do not have ‘eternal life’ in them. Then how can we have life in us? How can we be the living in the spiritual sense?
The Way To Have “LIFE” in Us
Eve, Reality of LIfe–Then how can we have life in us? Christ teaches that we must eat his flesh and drink his blood to have life.
John 6:53 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.
Jesus says that without his flesh and blood in us we cannot have “LIFE” in us. Therefore, through this words of God, we can see that the only way to have “LIFE” in us is by eating his flesh and drinking his blood. “Unless” means that there is no other way. Consequently, to have “LIFE” in us we must eat his flesh and drink his blood. His flesh and blood is “LIFE” itself.
John 6:54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.
By eating his flesh and drinking his blood we can have “life” in us.
The Reality Of Jesus’ Flesh and Blood
Eve, Reality of LIfe–Then what is the way we participate in the flesh and blood of Jesus? To get the answer for this question is to know the reality of his flesh and blood? According to the bible, Jesus is spiritual Adam. Unlike Adam, who brought the death into the world, however, Jesus is an anti-type of Adam, who can bring “LIFE” into the world.
Romans 5:14 Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who is a pattern of the one to come (Christ).
Spiritually, Adam signifies the one to come or the Christ who would come to bring “LIFE” to us. The spiritual Adam, Jesus said that we must eat his flesh and blood to have life. Since Jesus is the spiritual Adam, to know the reality of Jesus’ flesh and blood first we have know Adam’s flesh and blood.
Orvieto, Exterior of the Duomo: Creation of Eve
Adam’s Flesh and Blood
Eve, Reality of LIfe–Then what is Adam’s flesh and blood? In the Book of Genesis, God already foretold the flesh and blood of Adam. By studying the physical Adam in the book, we can know the Christ, who is the spiritual Adam. And also we can know the reality of Christ’s flesh and blood. Then what is Adam’s flesh and blood? And how is it related to “LIFE” that Jesus would give?
Genesis 2:20 But for Adam no suitable helper was found. 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 then closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. 23 The man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.”
This is the creation of EVE. When Eve was created, Adam testified that Eve is his flesh and blood. “Bone of my Bones” means that Eve was Adam’s blood. The bone contains marrow which produces blood. Therefore, Adam’s rib bone represents Adam’s blood God used in creating Eve. Also God used Adam’s flesh in creating Eve.
Eve, The Reality of Adam’s Flesh and Blood
Eve, Reality of LIfe–Through these verses, we can see the reality of Adam’s flesh and blood, Eve. Then why did God created Eve? We can know the purpose of God in creating Eve through the name Eve itself. Eve means “LIFE”.
Definition of Eve: The verb חיה (haya) means to live or have life, or to give or restore life; quickening or revive, nourish or refresh. This very important root-verb obviously occurs all over the Bible. (From Abarim Publications)
Adam’s flesh and blood, Eve means “LIFE”. Through this story of Adam, God is teaching us the reality of LIFE we must know to have eternal life. Jesus said that his flesh and blood is life. Then what is the reality of Jesus’ flesh and blood? It represents “the spiritual Eve” who would appear to give us life.
Christ’s Wife: Spiritual Eve
Eve, Reality of LIfe–According to the bible, the spiritual Eve would appear along with spiritual Adam (Christ) in the last days to give us eternal life.
Revelation 22:17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.
Just as God created Eve (LIFE) to give life to children, the spiritual Eve (Christ’s wife) would appear to give the water of life or simply LIFE. Then who is this wife of Christ we must meet for life in the last day?
Revelation 21:9 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.” 10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God.
Heavenly Jerusalem: God the Mother
Eve, Reality of LIfe–John said that the wife of Christ the spiritual Adam is the heavenly Jerusalem that come from heaven to this earth as the bride of Christ. So we can see the Heavenly Jerusalem is the spiritual Eve or LIFE we must meet to have life in the last days. Then who is this heavenly Jerusalem?
Galatians 4:26 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.
The bible teaches that the heavenly Jerusalem is Our Mother, in other words, God the Mother who appears as the reality of LIFE in the last days.
Conclusion
Eve, Reality of LIfe–As the spiritually dead, people on this earth do not have LIFE in us. 2000 years ago, Jesus said that his flesh and blood is the LIFE we must have in us to receive eternal life. Actually, that teaching was given to us to reveal God the Mother, the reality of Jesus’ flesh and blood who would come to this earth as the reality of LIFE in the last day.
Now to fulfill the prophecies of the bible the spiritual Eve God the Mother appeared to us. She is the reality of LIFE we must receive to have eternal life. Jesus said “Unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood, you have no LIFE in you.” This means unless we receive the reality of Jesus’s flesh and blood, God the Mother, we cannot have LIFE in us.” It is because God the Mother is the LIFE itself who came to give us life.
The bible teaches about the salvation in many ways. And the most common way used to express salvation is the parable of living water. Just as water is an essential thing in physical life, God teaches us that we must drink the spiritual water to have a spiritual life, eternal life. Then what is the spiritual water we must take in and what is the source of the spiritual water? Let us find out God the Mother, the source of living water.
Drink living water
Spiritual Water, Words of God
First, let us think about the spiritual water itself? What is the water spiritually that we must drink to have eternal life? Without water there would be famine and thirst leading us to death in the end. In the same way, the lack of spiritual water also causes the spiritual famine and thirst which lead us to spiritual doom.
Amos 8:11 “The days are coming,” declares the Sovereign Lord, “when I will send a famine through the land—not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the Lord. 12 People will stagger from sea to sea and wander from north to east, searching for the word of the Lord, but they will not find it. 13 “In that day “the lovely young women and strong young men will faint because of thirst. 14 Those who swear by the sin of Samaria—who say, ‘As surely as your god lives, Dan,’ or, ‘As surely as the god of Beersheba lives’— they will fall, never to rise again.”
According to this prophecy, God gives us a warning about a time coming when there would be famine all throughout the land because of the lack of water. And also He says many will die due to this famine and thirst. And He says that the cause of this spiritual famine is the lack of “the words of God”. At that time people wander about to search for the words of God. But they would not be able to find them.
The Reason For the Lack Of the Words Of God
The Lack Of Understanding
Then what causes the lack of the words of God? As the bible says the words of God is always with us. The bible which contains words of God is called an all-time bestseller. Most people, whether he believes God or not, know the existence of the bible. And many have quite good knowledge of the bible. Even though the words of God are around us all the time, why is there a lack of the words of God? We can understand the cause by several things? The first thing that causes the famine is the lack of the knowledge of the words of God.
Jeremiah 5:4 I thought, “These are only the poor; they are foolish, for they do not know the way of the Lord, the requirements of their God. 5 So I will go to the leaders and speak to them; surely they know the way of the Lord, the requirements of their God.”
God says that both people and religious leaders are all foolish, which means that have no wisdom and knowledge. Then what is the knowledge they are lacking? They do not know “the way of the Lord, the requirements of their God”. In other words they do not know the words of God. Even though the words of God is around them, God’s people have no understanding of the words of God. Therefore, the words of God they have around them have no use for their salvation.
The Rejection Of the Words of God
The second reason for the famine is the rejection of the words of God. Even though God gave them the words of God, people do not accept the words of God. And they do not follow and obey the words of God.
Hosea 8:12 Even if I wrote 10,000 laws for Ephraim, he would treat them as if they were for some stranger.
God gave many words to God’s people so that they would receive salvation. However, people did not accept and obey the words. They rejected the words of God and they lost their chances for salvation.
Hosea 4:6 my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. “Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children.
Because of these things, the words of God they have are no use to them. Even though people read the words of God in the bible, they don’t understand. In another case, they simply ignore and reject the words of God as something useless. In either way, the words of God is meaningless to them since they cannot receive salvation.
Lessons We Must Learn
Then what about us? Are we better than the Israelites? Not at all. In our time, we can see the same things. Even though there are many teachers of laws, they don’t have understanding on the words of God. Since the religious leaders have no understanding, nor are the people who they teach. Therefore, everyone in our time is in famine and thirst for the words of God. What they are drinking is not the living water. Rather, they are drinking salt water causing more thirst. Everybody tries to teach them with some words, but those words have nothing to do with the teachings of God.
Jeremiah lamented that everyone worshiped God with his or her opinions.
Jeremiah 2:28 Where then are the gods you made for yourselves? Let them come if they can save you when you are in trouble! For you, Judah, have as many gods as you have towns.
In those days, God’s people did not the way of God and the requirements of God. They were worshiping God in whatever way they desired. They deserted God and the words of God. Because of these sins of people, God deserted them and they got destroyed. We are practicing the same thing now. Everybody has different opinions of God. Each worships God in their own way. The truth has disappeared. Through this we can clearly say that we also are living in the age of spiritual famine.
Mother, the source of living water
The Source of Living Water
In this state of spiritual famine and thirst, the very first thing we must do is to find the source of the living water. God divided salvation into three different ages and in each age he allowed His people a well of living water from which they could draw out the water of salvation? Then what was the source of living water in each age? Let us first look at the age of Father.
Jeremiah 2:13 “My people have committed two sins: They have forsaken me, the spring of living water, and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water.
In the age of Father, the source of living water was God the Father Jehovah. Rather than listening and obeying to the words of God from Father Jehovah, however, God’s people tried to establish their own doctrine which could not give salvation. It was the same with the age of the Son. In the sage of the Son, God the Son Jesus was the source of living water.
John 7:37 On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. 38 Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.
To drink from the well of living water, God’s people must come to Jesus. However, they rejected him and did not obey his words. Rather, they relied on their own doctrine and tradition deserting the words of God.

The Source of Living Water in the Last Days: Spirit And Bride
How about then in our age? Who is the source of living water? The bible says the living water is coming from the Spirit and the Bride, that is, God the Father and God the Mother.
Revelation 22:17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.
Mother, The Source of Living Water
The bible teaches that in the last day to receive the water of life or the living water of salvation, we must come to the Spirit and the Bride. The Spirit represents God the Father. Then who does the bride signify? If we follow the mated verses, the bride of the Lamb is the Heavenly Jerusalem (Rev 21:9) and the Heavenly Jerusalem is our Mother. (Gal 4:26) In conclusion, the source of the living water in our time is God the Mother. We can confirm this through other prophecies of the bible.
Zechariah 14:8 On that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem, half of it east to the Dead Sea and half of it west to the Mediterranean Sea, in summer and in winter.
Micah 4:1 In the last days the mountain of the Lord’s temple will be established as the highest of the mountains; it will be exalted above the hills, and peoples will stream to it. 2 Many nations will come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the temple of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths.” The law will go out from Zion, the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
Conclusion
Through all these prophecies we can be sure that the true source of living water according to the bible is Heavenly Jerusalem in our time. Therefore, those who want to drink from the well of living water through the true words of God must come to Heavenly Jerusalem.
Drink Living Water from Heavenly Mother
There are many in this world, who desert the source of living water. And they try to establish their own way of salvation with their own doctrine and tradition. However, as God said through Prophet jeremiah, they are only broken cisterns that cannot hold water. Therefore, we must come to Jerusalem Our Mother to receive the living water.
Revelation 7:17 ‘Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat down on them,’ nor any scorching heat. 7 For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; ‘he will lead them to springs of living water.’ ‘And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’”
Only those who listen to the words of God coming from Heavenly Jerusalem Our Mother can receive complete salvation.
Worship God In Spirit And In Truth–Today there are so many people who believe in God and who worship God. And also there are so many different ways in worshiping God. It seems like everybody has his or her own way of worshiping God. In this situation, if you bring up the question of a right way of worshiping God, many will blame you for your narrow-mindedness and rigidity. People tend to believe everybody has freedom to choose his or her way of worshiping God. The way of worshiping God is a matter of personal choice which should not be constrained by anybody else.
Proper Ways Of God-Worship
Worship God In Spirit And In Truth–However, when we look at the bible, God does not seem to accept all the worships equally by blessing them all. Rather, God seems to be pleased more over a certain type of worship than others. We can see this example from the story of Cain and Abel.
Genesis 4:2 Later she gave birth to his brother Abel. Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil. 3 In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the Lord. 4 And Abel also brought an offering—fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering, 5 but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast.
Even though Cain and Abel both worshiped God, God accepted Abel’s offering but not Cain’s. This story reveals that God has preference for certain types of offerings. And also through this story we have to realize that we must worship God in the way God is pleased with to receive blessings from God.
God-Worship In the Law Of Moses
Worship God In Spirit And In Truth–We can find similar examples in the Law of Moses too. Even though many says that we can worship God in whatever way we choose to. This is completely wrong when we look at the laws and regulations God gave to His people. God could have simply commanded them to worship Him any way they want. Instead, God specified everything in an act of worship: time, place and manner.
The Place of Worship
In this worship of God, the bottom line was that people must not worship God with their own accord. Rather, they have to follow very strict regulations. First, God did not allow his people to worship him any place they want. Rather He appointed them a place of worship so they could go to worship Him.
Deuteronomy 12:5 But you are to seek the place the Lord your God will choose from among all your tribes to put his Name there for his dwelling. To that place you must go
The Time of Worship
The place God has chosen for his people was the temple in Jerusalem which King Solomon established later. Also, God did not allow his people to come to him any time they want to meet him. If they did, God punished them for their lawlessness.
Leviticus 16:2 The Lord said to Moses: “Tell your brother Aaron that he is not to come whenever he chooses into the Most Holy Place behind the curtain in front of the atonement cover on the ark, or else he will die.
The Manner of Worship
And third, God gave them a specific manner of worship: the choice of animal, the amount of wine and bread, etc. The whole Book of Leviticus itself contains all the regulations of worship. According to this regulations and laws, the priest of God worshiped God. They worshiped God in a tabernacle and later in a temple. And they worshiped God at God’s appointed times, that is, the festivals of God. Also they followed all the required regulations God set up for the worship. Most of their worships included shedding the blood of an animal for the forgiveness of sins.
Worship God in spirit and in truth
Worship God In Spirit And In Truth
In our time, however, this is not the right way of worshiping God. Jesus said that we must worship God in spirit and in truth not in a physical temple, but in a spiritual temple. (John 4:23) Just as Paul said, the temple worship according to the Law of Moses was just a copy and shadow God gave us to teach us the reality of worship. (Hebrews 8:5) Again, he teaches us that we have a better tabernacle or temple to go to worship God.
Hebrews 9:11 But when Christ came as high priest of the good things that are now already here, he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not made with human hands, that is to say, is not a part of this creation.
He teaches us that there is another temple which does not belong to the physical world. The reality of the temple is in heaven. Then what is the true spiritual temple? This heavenly temple is very important to us because this the place that we must go to worship God.
The Spiritual Heavenly Temple
Worship God In Spirit And In Truth–Then what is the spiritual temple which we must go as God’s people to worship God and receive blessings?
Revelation 21:22 I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
According to the Book of Revelation, God teaches us that in the heavenly Jerusalem city is not physical temple. Rather, there is the reality of temple in the city, that is, the Christ or the Lamb. In other words, the reality of the temple is the Christ himself. The temple is a place where God dwells by putting his Spirit in it. On the other hand, when the Christ appeared, he put the Spirit of God in his body. For this reason Christ called his body as temple.
John 2:19 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.” 20 They replied, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?” 21 But the temple he had spoken of was his body.
What God wanted to teach us through the temple worship in the Law of Moses was the reality of the temple, Christ who we must find and go to worship God.
God’s Appointed Time
Worship God In Spirit And In Truth–2000 years ago the Reality of God’s temple, Christ came down to this earth. He was teaching his disciples to come to him, the true temple of God. Just as God gathered his people to the physical temple at the appointed time, Christ was gathering his people toward himself during the festivals of God.
On the night of the Passover he gathered his people, and let them know that he was the reality of a sacrificial animal. He let them know that the true forgiveness can be attainable only through his flesh and blood, not with animal sacrifice. And on the last and greatest day of the Feast of Tabernacle, he was gathering his people to give them blessings of eternal life.
John 7:37 On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. 38 Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”
The True Temple We Must God To Worship God
Worship God In Spirit And In Truth–According to the bible, the Christ would come again in the last day. Then how would he appear? The book of Revelation says that God would put his tabernacle among his people.
Revelation 21:2-3 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.
The bible says that God would establish his dwelling place or the temple among his people again in the last day. Does this mean he would establish a physical temple in the city of Jerusalem in the land of Palestine. Definitely not. Paul said the temple we must seek now is not the physical temple, but spiritual temple the Christ.
God Appears As Man In The Flesh
Therefore, the only possible conclusion is the Christ would appear as man in the flesh for the second time as reality of temple by putting the Spirit of God in his body. The bible testifies about the Christ who appears in the last day like this:
Revelation 22:17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.
Jesus in his first coming gathered his people to him the reality of the temple so that they can worship God in spirit and in truth by following and obeying the teaching of God. In the same way, the Revelation teaches about the reality of the temple, the Spirit and Bride who give his people the water of life, eternal life.
The Spirit represents the Lamb or the Second Coming Christ (Rev 19:7, 21 :9). This prophecy tells that Christ would come as man for the second time and gather his people to him the reality of the temple that they can worship God and receive the blessings of eternal life. However, this time he comes back with his bride of the Lamb, God the Mother who can give us the water of life.
Come to the Spirit and the Bride
Worship God In Spirit And In Truth–Through this teaching we can see that Christ would appear again in the flesh as the reality of the temple and gather his people to give them blessings of eternal life. Therefore, to worship God in spirit and in truth the very first thing we must do is to know the Spirit and the Bride or Father and Mother who appear as man in the flesh. Since they are the true temple of God we must come to them to worship God during the festivals of God. In that way, we can worship God in spirit and in truth and receive the blessing of forgiveness and eternal life.
Something You Cannot Do and Something You Don’t Do
In this article I would like to show that we can receive eternal life through God the Mother. People sometimes argue about many things in their relationship with others. However, most of the topic for the arguments are for things that they are not doing even though they can do them if they try. On the other hand, people seldom or even never argue about something that they cannot do.
For example, a person can rebuke the other for not trying hard enough to learn to swim. However no one will blame the other for not swimming and living under water like a fish. It is because living like a fish under water is simply impossible for man. For the same reason, a person will not scold another for not flying like a bird even though the same person might admonish another for not learn to fly a plane.
Man and Woman
It is the same with a man and woman. A husband and wife might argue for many things such as for not doing house chores, or not spending much time with family, etc. However, a wife will not blame her husband for not having a child or being incapable of being pregnant. It is because having a child is simply an impossible thing for man to do.
When God created Adam and Eve, God created Eve as helper for Adam. Then what kind of help could Eve give to Adam? For something Adam don’t do even though he can do. No at all. Eve was created for something that Adam CANNOT do even though he might want to do. That was simply impossible for Adam to do. What Adam was incapable of was “child-birth.” And for this purpose God created Eve who could give life to children.
Eternal Life Through God the Mother
The bible says that Adam and Eve was created to teach the invisible image of God so that we may know God to receive salvation. According to the bible God created man according to the invisible image of God. (Gen 1:26-27) In other words, Adam was created to show God the Father. (Rom 5:14) Then what was Eve created for?
The only life-giver Eve (or the Mother of all the living) was created to represent God the Mother. According to the will of God, it was only through Eve that the life for children can be given. In the same way, through this Eve in creation, God wanted to teach us the spiritual Eve who would give life to the children of God.
God the Mother in the Last Day
The Bible teaches that God the Mother would appear in the last day to give us the spiritual life. God the Father could have eagerly given us eternal life if he could. However, the life-giving through only Father was simply impossible in the will of God. That is why Jesus God the Father said that he would grant life at the last day. (John 6:39, 40, 44, 54)
In the last day, we should know God the Mother. We can receive the water of eternal life through God the Mother only. (Revelation 22:17)
When we study the bible, we should know the purpose of the bible. Most of the books contains the purpose and goals in them intended by writers of those books. In the same way, the bible was given to us by God and thus the bible contains the purpose God has intended to teach. Therefore, to understand the bible correctly we must know the reason why God allowed the bible to be recorded and gathered together in the present form. Through the bible ultimately we must understand the relationship between the fulfillment of laws and Christ.
The Fulfillment of Laws and Christ
Then why did God give us the bible? What is the bible for? The answers for these questions can be correctly answered only by God himself. Then let us take a look at the words of God in the bible because there is no other thing available to us except for the bible to know the teachings of God. Just as Peter said the bible is “something completely reliable” (2 Peter 1:19) to us. Therefore, we have to “pay attention to it,” to know the will of God.
Then what is the purpose of the bible according to the teachings of God in the bible? Let us take a look at the words of Paul about the bible and its laws.
Galatians 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. (KJV)
To give an answer for the question in Verse 19 of the same chapter, “Why, then, was the law given at all?” he says that the law exists to do the role of a teacher. In this case, the mission of the laws as a teacher is to lead people to Christ. In other words, all the laws of the old covenant were recorded as testimonies for the Christ who would appear to give salvation. Therefore, ultimately the one who we must recognize and meet through the Law of Moses is the Christ, or the Messiah who was to come to fulfill the laws.
Jesus’ Testimonies About the Laws
Matthew 5:17 Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.
Jesus says that he came to fulfill the laws or the old covenant. All the laws of the old covenant was intended to lead us to all the fulfillment of the laws, that is, the Christ. Paul confirms about this when he said, “For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.” (Romans 10:4)
At the end of the road of the old covenant, you will be able to find the Christ who would be waiting for you at the end. All these testimonies have the same message in it, that is, the laws of the old covenant was recorded to lead us to the Christ who would come to fulfill all the laws. Let us look at another testimony of Jesus about the relationship between himself and the laws.
John 5:39 You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me, 40 yet you refuse to come to me to have life.
The Scriptures means the words of God in the bible or the laws of the old covenant. And Jesus teaches that the purpose of the Scriptures or the laws was to teach people about the Christ himself. In other words, all the Scriptures and the laws came into existence to teach us and lead us to the Christ who can give us the salvation of eternal life.
The Second Coming Christ And the Laws
Then what about the Savior who would come in the last days? How can we recognize him? According to the bible he would appear for the second time for our salvation in the last day. (Hebrews 9:28) Then when he appears, will it be easy for us to know him and receive him? Probably not, because the bible teaches that the Christ is the Mystery.
Colossians 2:2 My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, 3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
Paul says that Christ is the treasure which contains all the knowledge and wisdom for our salvation. If only the Jews of 2000 years ago accepted the Christ, they could have received the salvation of eternal life. In reality, however, they rejected him and crucified him. It was because the glory was hidden within him. For this reason, the bible calls the Christ “a mystery.” His glory and power were hidden from the eyes of men of the time.
They could not see the Godhead hidden inside his physical appearance. Then how about the Christ who would appear for the second time? Would it be easy for people to know him? The bible says the Christ is a mystery, not only in his first coming, but also in his second coming. Then if this is the case, how can we know who the Christ is? It is the same. As the bible says, “These are the Scriptures that testify about me,” Christ is testified in the laws.
Laws of the Bible and the Savior in the Last Day
Unlike the Jews in the time of Jesus who were given only the laws of the old covenant, we have both the old and new covenant. And all the laws of the bible was recorded so that we may find the Christ who would come to fulfill all the laws of the bible.
Then what does the laws say about the Savior? The laws of the old and new covenant teaches the true Savior in the last day, that is, God the Mother or the Heavenly Jerusalem who comes to give us the water of life.
Revelation 22:17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.
What is the water of life? It is the salvation of eternal life we expect from the Second Coming Christ. But the bible says the salvation is coming from the Spirit and the bride. The Spirit is, as we know, God himself, then who is the bride who comes in the last day? If we look at the same book in Chapter 21, the bible teaches the bride is the Jerusalem, not the physical Jerusalem City on this earth, but the Heavenly Jerusalem coming from heaven as the bride of the Christ. (Revelation 21:9-10)
Heavenly Jerusalem in the Old Covenant
About the Spiritual Jerusalem, the laws of the old covenant testify like this:
Zechariah 14:8 On that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem, half of it east to the Dead Sea and half of it west to the Mediterranean Sea, in summer and in winter.
Not only does this book testify about the living water or the water of life as in the Book of Revelation. But this book also confirms that the source of the living water is the Jerusalem. Since the living water does not speaks about the physical water, neither can the source be the physical Jerusalem, but the spiritual Heavenly Jerusalem. Through the laws of the bible, God teaches us that the true source of salvation that we must seek in the last day is the Heavenly Jerusalem who comes down to this earth in the last day to give us salvation. Then who is this heavenly Jerusalem.
Galatians 4:26 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.
In the Book of Galatians, Paul testifies that in heaven there is another Jerusalem, that is, heavenly Jerusalem. But interestingly enough he says that she is “Our Mother.” In other words, in heaven, there are our Father and our Mother. 2000 years ago, as the fulfillment of the laws of the old covenant, Christ our Father appeared to give us eternal life. But the same bible says that at the last day to fulfill all the laws of the bible, both the old covenant and new covenant, our Mother would appear as Savior to give us salvation of eternal life.
God the Mother and Salvation
The bible teaches through many parables that God the Mother is the source of salvation we must seek in the last day. Paul said that the purpose of the laws of the bible was to guide us to Christ. In this sense, the whole purpose of God through the bible was ultimately to lead us to God the Mother, Heavenly Jerusalem who would come down to this earth to give eternal life.
Therefore, those who want to eternal life must come to God the Mother because she is the true source of the water of life.
Temple and Water Of Life–In the book of Ezekiel, the bible describes that the living water is flowing out from the temple of God in Jerusalem. The water of life first flows into the Jordan River and later into the Dead Sea. As we can see through the name “the Dead Sea,” the sea was once dead, but as soon as the living water flows into it, it starts to revive again. This is a amazing description of the power of the living water and the bible says those who wants to have eternal life must also drink from this water. Therefore, we must know what the living water is and what the source of the living water is.
The Water of Life from the Temple Jerusalem
Ezekiel 47:1 The man brought me back to the entrance to the temple, and I saw water coming out from under the threshold of the temple toward the east (for the temple faced east). The water was coming down from under the south side of the temple, south of the altar. 2 He then brought me out through the north gate and led me around the outside to the outer gate facing east, and the water was trickling from the south side….Then he led me back to the bank of the river. 7 When I arrived there, I saw a great number of trees on each side of the river. 8 He said to me, “This water flows toward the eastern region and goes down into the Arabah (or the Jordan River), where it enters the Dead Sea. When it empties into the sea, the salty water there becomes fresh. 9 Swarms of living creatures will live wherever the river flows. There will be large numbers of fish, because this water flows there and makes the salt water fresh; so where the river flows everything will live. ….. 12 Fruit trees of all kinds will grow on both banks of the river. Their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit fail. Every month they will bear fruit, because the water from the sanctuary flows to them. Their fruit will serve for food and their leaves for healing.”
Temple and Water Of Life–The water from the temple flows into the Dead Sea which has nothing living in it as the name indicates because it contains too much salt in it. Once the water from the temple flows into the Dead Sea, however, the salt water becomes flesh and soon all different sorts of living creatures starts to thrive in the Dead Sea. Literally, the Dead Sea changes into the Living Sea because of the living water from the temple. Again and again the bible says that it is the living water that flows into the sea that gives life to everything in it and even along the banks of the Jordan River many different trees bears fruits every month all throughout the year.
Map of the Jordan River and the Dead Sea. Can you see any river flowing from Jerusalem to the Jordan river? We should understand this prophecy figuratively.
Here we can see the amazing power of the living water that flows out from the temple. This contains more significant meaning to us who are living in the last days. It is because the prophecy of the water of life from the temple in the Book of Ezekiel was not written for the physical Israelites who lived in the past in the time of the prophet, but it was actually a prophecy given to us who are living in the last days. We can confirm this through a mated prophecy in the Book of Revelation.
Revelation 22:1 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2 down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.
Here we can see the exact description of the same river we have already seen in the Book of Ezekiel. Therefore, we can see Prophet Ezekiel was not speaking about things of his time, but he was writing prophecies to teach what was going to happen in the future, especially in the last days. In this sense, we come to know that things in the book should not be interpreted physically, but all of things must be understood in the figurative level.
The Reality of Temple and Water of Life
Temple and Water Of Life–If we try to understand the prophecy of Ezekiel in the literal sense, we cannot put many things together because they do not make sense at all. First, does the temple Jerusalem represent the physical temple in Jerusalem? If then, the water from the temple must be physical water too. But as we already know, there is no river flowing from the temple into the Jordan River. And moreover, the Temple of God itself does not exist in our present time because it was destroyed by the Roman army around 70 AD.
Plan of Solomon’s Temple
Therefore, we must understand these things figuratively. Then what is the reality of the temple? According to the bible, the reality of the temple is God himself.
John 2:19 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.” 20 They replied, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?” 21 But the temple he had spoken of was his body.
The temple is originally built as God’s dwelling place and when the temple was established, God started to dwell among his people by putting His Spirit in the temple. Even though God fills up the whole universe, God loved his people and wanted to give them salvation by teaching them and leading them through his commands and laws. For that purpose, God established sanctuary or temple and started to dwell among his people in Spirit.
2 Chronicles 6:18 “But will God really dwell on earth with humans? The heavens, even the highest heavens, cannot contain you. How much less this temple I have built!
But this physical temple was given as copy and shadow until the time of the reality of the temple would be revealed. Then what was the reality of the temple? As we have already seen above, Christ himself was reality of the temple, God’s dwelling place. 2000 years ago, Jesus Christ, who was God himself came down to this earth to dwell among his people to teach his people and to give them salvation.
John 1:14 The Word (God) became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
The Word or God himself became flesh and made his dwelling or his temple among his people. It was Christ Jesus. But what was the temple or the dwelling of God he established on this earth when he came in the flesh? It was his body because the Spirit of God was dwelling in the body of Christ and that is why he called his body the temple of God. Through this we can see the body of Christ was working as temple.
The Reality of the Water of Life
Temple and Water Of Life–Now we could understand that the reality of the temple was Christ, God who came as man in the flesh. If Christ is the Temple Jerusalem, Christ must have given the water of life according to the prophecy because the temple in the prophecy was the source of the water of life that gives life to everything that accepts the living water. Then was the Christ the source of the water of life just like the prophecy?
John 4:13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
Through this we can see that he was truly the reality of the temple in the prophecy of Ezekiel which gives the living water to the world so that they can have life. Then what we need to understand is what is the living water which was flowing out from the temple? 2000 years ago Jesus was not the one who was giving out the physical water to the people which could give them eternal life, which would have been easier for everyone to understand his teaching and many might have accepted Jesus and received eternal life.
The Jordan River flowing into the Dead Sea. Thousands of years the river was flowing into the Dead Sea, but the Dead Sea is still dead. What is the living water that gives life to everything?
But just like everything else in the bible, he was not speaking in the literal way. Just like all other teachings of God, Jesus was using physical things to teach us spiritual things. Just as water is essential for our life, through this water Jesus wanted to teach us the spiritual water that is essential for our spiritual life, eternal life. Then what was the spiritual water coming out from the temple Christ which gives us the eternal life of salvation? According to the bible, the water of live that cleanse our sins and gives us the eternal life is the words of God coming from the Christ.
Ephesians 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26 to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, 27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.
According to the bible what is it that cleanses us from stains or blemishes to make us holy and blameless? It is possible when we are washed “water through the word” of God. We can see the words of God are figuratively compared to water, and we can receive the water life and wash ourselves clean when we accept the true words of God. When we are cleansed with the words of God, we can also receive eternal life.
John 6:66 From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him. 67 “You do not want to leave too, do you?” Jesus asked the Twelve. 68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. 69 We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God.”
Apostle Peter boldly testifies that he is the true source of the water of life: How can I leave you my God since you are the one who gives the water of life through the words of God? He knew that Jesus was the true temple of God granting the living water to the peoples of the world and if they left Jesus they could not have eternal life. And with this understanding they could stay with Jesus even though all others deserted Jesus.
The True Temple of God in the Last Days
Temple and Water Of Life–Then according to the bible who is the true temple of God giving out the water of life to the peoples of the world in the last days? Without knowing the source of the water of life we cannot receive salvation. As we have already seen in the prophecy of Ezekiel, in the last days the world is compared to the Dead Sea. According to the bible, the sea figuratively represents human society.
Revelation 17:15 Then the angel said to me, “The waters (or the sea) you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages.
The sea is dead because of the lack of the living water or the true words of God. Some might say what I am saying is wrong because we have the words of God taught by Jesus Christ. That is partly true. 2000 years ago the true temple of God Christ came with the water of life and gave people the true words of God so that they could have eternal life.
But what happened to the truth? Even though Jesus and disciples sacrificed their own lives for the true words of God giving us eternal life, after their death the true gospel started to be corrupted and changed by the work of Satan to fulfill the Parable of Weeds on the field. (Matthew 13:24) Sabbath worship which took place on Saturday was changed into Sunday worship in 321 AD by Roman Emperor Constantine. And the truth of the new covenant of the Passover was abolished in 325 AD in the council of Nicaea held under the command of the same emperor.
Since then, those who wanted to follow the truth were persecuted and driven out into the wilderness and the truth started to be forgotten until only the false words of God was left behind. All the water of life was changed into dirty and unclean water, and people started to fall sick and die spiritually because of the lack of the living water. This is the situation described in the prophecy of Ezekiel and the sea or the human society in the last days without any exception are all dead. Nations, peoples, multitudes, and languages-which means all the world-is dying of the lack of the living water. The water people are drinking cannot give them the eternal life, but rather it gives them more thirst.
In this desperate situation, the bible says the river of the water of life clear as crystal will be open for the people who are thirsty. Then who are the true source of the water of life in the last days? Where should we go to receive the living water?
Revelation 22:17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.
Who are the source of the water of life? They are the Spirit and the Bride. In the book of Ezekiel they were described as temple of God. It means they must be God who comes down to this earth in the flesh as the reality of the temple, or Christ. Then who is the Spirit? We can easily see the Spirit must be the Second Coming Christ, or God the Father coming down in the last days as man in the flesh as the reality of the temple to give us the water of life. But then who is the bride who is also the source of the water of life? Since she is also the source of the living water we can say she must be a Christ, or God who is coming down as man in the flesh. Let us confirm.
Jesus was the spiritual temple who could give the living water of eternal life. Then who is the bride of Christ Heavenly Jerusalem who will be able to give us living water in the last days?
The True Bride, God the Mother
Temple and Water Of Life–There are so many people who have many different opinions about the bride-such as church, or the angels, or some says the bride is Jesus who is coming in the last days. But rather than following people’s opinions we must listen to the true words of God in the bible. Then who is the bride? According to the bible she is described as the true temple of God who is coming down from heaven to this earth, which would be the dwelling of God in the last days.
Revelation 21:1 Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.
The bride is the heavenly Jerusalem Temple, which is coming down to this earth to make a dwelling of God among his people. This has a very significant meaning in it. What is the dwelling place of God? Temple. But who was the reality of the temple? Christ. Then what should this heavenly Jerusalem be? Christ, that is, God who is coming down as man in the flesh. Then is this the Second Coming Christ? It cannot be because the Spirit is the Second Coming Christ who would come to give the water of life.
Then who is the bride? Let us find more about the bride, the heavenly Jerusalem.
Revelation 21:9 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.” 10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God.
In this description, the bride is the wife of the Lamb. The Lamb is the Second Coming Jesus (John 1:29); and therefore, the wife of the Lamb means the wife of Jesus Christ. In reality, even though he came as man in the flesh, Jesus was God the Father. Then what should we call the wife of Jesus or God the Father? The bride must be God the Mother. Amazingly enough, the bible testifies the heavenly Jerusalem and it shows the heavenly Jerusalem as its true reality, not as copy or shadow? Many might think since it is a temple, it must be a form of building flying down from heaven, or even a spaceship!
But the Bible teaches the true reality of the temple Jerusalem? Then what is the Heavenly Jerusalem?
Galatians 4:26 But the Jerusalem that is above (or in heaven) is free, and she is our mother.
The bible teaches the Heavenly Jerusalem is in reality “our Mother” or God the Mother and she is coming down from heaven in the last days. Why? To make a dwelling among his people. What does it mean then? Just like God the Father made his dwelling among his people by coming down to this earth as man in the flesh in the name of Jesus Christ, God the Mother will come down to this earth now as woman in the flesh and by putting the Spirit of God in the body she will dwell among his people to give them the water of life.
Conclusion
Temple and Water Of Life–To fulfill the prophecy of the book of Ezekiel and Revelation, God the Father and God the Mother both of them came down to this earth as man in the flesh in the Name of Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother New Jerusalem. As we have seen over and over they are the reality of the temple prophesied in the prophecy of Ezekiel and they are the true source of the water of life. They are calling out to you to “Come” and to “take the free gift of the water of life.” God eagerly wants you to come to them for the eternal life. Our true sanctuary, God the Mother came down to this earth and she is pouring out the living water to all the nations and peoples of the world.
Come to the Spirit and the Bride, who are the true source of the water of life.
According to the bible the mystery of God is the Christ. It is because it is hard to correctly recognize the true identity of Christ when he came as man in the flesh.
Colossians 1:26 the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the Lord’s people. 27 To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
Colossians 2:2 My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ.
Even though he was God himself who came as man to give them salvation they were waiting for, his people did not recognize him because of his outward appearance and rejected him. In the last day when Christ comes for the second time, it would be the same. He would appear as man in the flesh. Moreover, the bible teaches that he would come with his bride, God the Mother.
How hard would it be for God’s people to know God the Father and God the Mother who would appear as man in the flesh with a physical body!! They would be a stumbling block and a rock causes to fall to many people, even among many Christains; but God’s people must have the spiritual eyes to correctly recognize them and accept them to receive the water of life.
Why does the word “Mother” move the hearts of people giving them the sense of comfort and love?
In this series of posts, I tried to gather some of the evidences of God the Mother in the bible. Please read the posts carefully and accept God the Mother who came to this earth only for the love of her chidren and came to save us and take us back to heaven. Come into Mother’s arms.
God the Mother in Revelation–We have been searching for the evidences of God the Mother from Genesis all throughout the bible. Now we have come to the end of the bible, that is, the the Book of Revelation. As it is known, this Book of Revelation is concerned about the last day when Jesus is coming for the second time to give us the salvation, eternal life. In this book, God clearly let us know how to receive the water of life, eternal life.
The Water of Life from the Heavenly Jerusalem
God the Mother in Revelation–2000 years ago, Jesus said, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” (John 4:13) It was because he was the source of the water of life, or the eternal life. That is why those who wanted to receive the water of life must come to Jesus for the living water.
But in the book of Revelation, which is concerned about the last day when the creation work of God is finished by giving salvation to his people, God let us know that it is God the Mother who can give us the water of life, eternal life.
Revelation 22:17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.
According to this prophecy, the eternal life is coming from the Spirit and the Bride. Then who are the Spirit and the Bride then? Commonsensically, it is only God who can give us the water of Life and therefore, we can say they must be God. Many Christians says the brides are the church in this book, but it is not true. How can God’s people grant eternal life to each other?
First, who is the Spirit? The uppercase Spirit represent God the Father or the Second Coming Christ who would appear in the last day for our salvation. (Hebrews 9:28) But since Christ is represented as Adam spiritually, the bride of Christ or Adam must be the spiritual Eve, who is the mother of all the living. (Genesis 3:20) Then who is this bride of Jesus who is coming to give us the water of life? Where is she coming from?
The Bride of Jesus, Heavenly Jerusalem
Revelation 21:9 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.” 10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God.
What is the New Jerusalem coming down from heaven in the last days as the bride of Christ?
God the Mother in Revelation–In the vision, John was supposed to be shown the bride of the Lamb (or the Second Coming Jesus Christ) by the angel, but what was actually shown was the Heavenly City Jerusalem, which would come down from heaven in the last day. If we take a further look at the description of the city, it is represented as a cube, “a square as long as it was wide.” (Revelation 21:16) The only thing in the Temple of God which is shaped like a cube is the Most Holy Place of the temple.
Since the earthly temple established by Moses was a copy and shadow of the temple in heaven which was the reality. (Hebrews 8:5) And as we have already seen before, the reality of temple which was in heaven was not actually a building, but the Christ. (John 2:19) Therefore, we can conclude the heavenly Most Holy Place of the temple must be also fulfilled by a Christ, or God who is coming as man in the flesh and putting the Spirit of God in the body of the temple.
To understand the Christ, let us study the earthly temple a little. The earthly temple was mainly made up of two different rooms: the outer room and the inner room. The outer room was called the Holy Place; and the inner room, the Most Holy Place. And the Throne of God was placed in the Most Holy Place and on that throne God was enthroned in Spirit between the cherubim. And between the outer room and inner room was a curtain to separate them from each other.
This structure of the physical temple was given to us to teach us the invisible and spiritual temple in Heaven, that is, Christ. According to the bible, Jesus was represented as the outer room and curtain which was separating the inner room from the outer room. By the destruction of his body of temple and curtain through his crucifixion 2000 years ago, he destroyed the outer room and the curtain so that the way to the Most Holy Place would be open and God’s people enter into the Most Holy Place to receive the water of life from God.
The Reality of the Most Holy Place, God the Mother
Matthew 27:51 At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split 52 and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life.
God the Mother in Revelation–Through his death and piercing of his body on the cross, Jesus could destroy the Holy Place and the curtain which were concealing the Most Holy Place. Through his destruction of the body of temple, he could open the way to the inner room.
Hebrews 10:19 Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body.
Through this we can clearly see the Holy Place was the body of Christ Jesus, or God the Father. When God the Father came as man in the flesh, he was the reality of the Holy Place of the temple. Then who is the reality of the Most Holy Place? The bible says the Heavenly Jerusalem is the reality of the Most Holy Place. Then who is the Holy City Jerusalem coming down from heaven from God. About this heavenly Jerusalem Paul testifies like this:
Galatians 4:26 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.
Paul let us know the reality of the Heavenly Jerusalem, the Most Holy Place and he says the Heavenly Jerusalem or the Jerusalem above (or in heaven) is Our Mother. Who is our Father in heaven? God the Father. Then who is our Mother above in heaven? God the Mother.
What is the reality of the Most Holy Place of the Jerusalem Temple?
When Paul saw this Heavenly Jerusalem, she was in heaven; but when John saw this heavenly Jerusalem, she was coming down out of heaven to this earth. Then what is the meaning of the prophecy? 2000 years Jesus (God the Father) who was the reality of the Holy Place of the temple came as man wiith a physical body and put the Spirit of God in him just like the temple. In the same way, according to this vision, in the last day, God the Mother would appear as woman with a physical body to give us the salvation of eternal life.
Conclusion
God the Mother in Revelation–Through all these prophecies and more, God teaches us that we must know God the Mother in the last day to receive the water of life, eternal life. To fulfill these prophecies of the bible God the Mother, who is the reality of the Most Holy Place, came down to this earth as man in the flesh. She is call us to come to Her, the true source of the water of life.
Come to the Spirit Christ Ahnsahnghong and his Bride God the Mother to receive the eternal life and be the child of God. God is earnestly calling everybody to come for salvation. Come to the World Mission Society Church fo God.
Jesus Christ came to this earth as man 2000 years to give us the forgiveness of sins and eternal life. Again and again he said that he came to give us the eternal life and ultimately to take us back to heaven where there is no death, no pain, or sorrow. When we look at his teachings, however, we can find his words which indicates that it is only God the Mother who can give us the eternal life.
Jesus and Salvation
Jesus came down to this earth for the salvation of our souls and the most important teaching of Jesus for this purpose is “the eternal life.” Without receiving eternal life on this earth, it is impossible to enter into the kingdom of heaven because the kingdom of heaven is the place where there is no death and the very first condition for the entrance of heaven is to receive the eternal life.
About the importance of eternal life to enter into heaven, Jesus taught:
John 3:5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.
The very first condition to enter into the kingdom of heaven is to be born again, in other words, we must be born again spiritually and receive the spiritual life, that is, eternal life. About the way to receive eternal life, he continue to say:
John 4:13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again,14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
John 10:10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
Jesus said that the purpose of his coming was to give “life to the full” or “eternal life.” Since he was the source of eternal life, people must know Jesus to receive eternal life.
John 17:3 Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
Eternal Life in the Last Days
Even though Jesus was God the Father, who was the source of the water of life, he promised that the eternal life would be given at the last day. Just as a physical father gives physical life in this earth, he was the spiritual Father who could give us the spiritual life, eternal life. But why did he say that eternal life would be given at the last day.
John 6:39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. 40 For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”…… 44 “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day. …. 53 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.
Over again he says that the eternal life would be given at the last day. Why is the eternal life given only at the last day? And when is the last day? These are important questions to ask to receive eternal life. 2000 years when Jesus came, He was the male image of God, God the Father who could give us eternal life. But as we have seen before, the main life-giver is a female or mother according to the will of God.
Even though he came as the last Adam as a life-giving spirit, it was not the will of God to give life to the children by himself. Life is given by a mother and in the same way the eternal life must be granted by the last Eve, or God the Mother. Then when would God the Mother appear to give us eternal life?
Orvieto, Creation of Eve (Source: Wikimedia Commons)
Since Christ came as a pattern of Adam and God the Mother would appear as Eve, we must first look at the story of Adam and Eve to find out the time of their appearance. According to the book of Genesis when did God create Adam and Eve? On the sixth day. Adam was created first and after Adam was put into a deep sleep God created Eve out Adam’s flesh and blood. Then what is the spiritual meaning of this story?
2 Peter 3:8 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.
In the prophecies of the bible the time has a parabolic meanings too. Sometimes a day can be calculated as a year (Numbers 15:34, Ezekiel 4:6); and a day, a thousand years. In this system, the six-day creation can be understood as six thousand years of God’s spiritual creation work for our salvation. And the seventh day rest can be matched to 1000 years of spiritual rest which would follow the completion of the salvation work of six thousand years. (Revelation 20:6)
According to this plan of God for our salvation, Eve must appear at the last day or the 6th day, which can be equivalent to the end of God’s 6000 years of salvation work. The bible scholars say the Old Testament spans the history of 4000 years from Adam to the appearance of Christ and from Christ up to the present time, 2000 years. In short, we are living at the time frame of the biblical last day. And according to the prophecies of the bible, in our time the last Eve or God the Mother appear to give us the eternal life.
Conclusion
Jesus was waiting for the prophetical time for the coming of God the Mother when he said that he would raise them up at the last day. Without the appearance of God the Mother, eternal life could not be given to children
We can confirm this through his crucifixion too. For Eve to be revealed, first Adam must be put into a deep sleep and his side must be cut open and his rib bone must be broken apart. Spiritually, sleeping means death (John 11:13) and to fulfill the prophecy of Adam Jesus died on the cross and his side was split open. (John 19:34) According to the bible, he was planned to go through all these pains and suffering even from the beginning. Why then? It was for God the Mother to be revealed to the children who would receive the eternal life.
In our time, the Last Adam Christ Ahnsahnghong came and revealed to us the Last Eve God the Mother to us. And He taught us to follow Mother by saying, “I follow Mother.” And He gave us an example to teach us that we also should follow Mother. Let us accept God the Mother who is the last hidden mystery of God given to us for our salvation.
During the six day creation of God in Genesis, the last thing that was created man. And the bible says that the creation of man was given to us to teach us about the invisible image of God. If we look at man in the book of Genesis, God created man into two different images: male and female, both of which were fashioned after the very image of God. Through the first man Adam and first woman Eve, God is teaching us the spiritual Adam and Eve. Then who are the spiritual Adam and Eve? And why do they need to be created?
The Spiritual Adam
Genesis 1:27 So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.
When God created man, God put his invisible image into the creation of man. According to the creation work of God, both male and female were made to represent the image of God. The first man Adam was created according to the male image of God, who we call “God the Father.” Then who was Eve created to represent? It must be the female image of God, that is, God the Mother.
Creation of Adam: Instead of saying, “Let there be a man”, God said, “Let us make man in our image and in our likeness”. Among all the creations, why did God give man the image of God? What does God want ot teach us through the creation of man?
Let us confirm this through the bible. First, let us look at the purpose of God in the creation of Adam. Nothing was created without any purpose or the will of God. Then what was the will of God in the creation of Adam?
Romans 5:14 Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who is a pattern of the one to come.
According to the bible, Adam was created as the pattern of the one who is to come so that we can understand “the one to come” through the story of Adam. Then who is “the one to come” in the bible? It is the Christ Jesus. 2000 years ago the prophecies of the bible about “the one to come” was fulfilled by Jesus Christ and in the same way the prophecies of “the one to come” in the last days would be fulfilled by the Second Coming Jesus.
Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was offered as a sacrifice one time to take away the sins of many people. And he will come a second time, but not to offer himself for sin. He will come the second time to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him. (ERV)
About this Christ who was to come for the second time, the Revelation says:
Revelation 22:20 He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. 21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s people. Amen.
Again and again the bible says the one to come in the last days is Jesus Christ. But when Jesus comes, how can we know who the true Jesus is who we have been waiting for? To teach us how to recognize the true Christ, the bible says he will come to follow the pattern of Adam. In other words, he is coming as spiritual Adam.
Since Jesus was God the Father himself, we can conclude that God created Adam to teach us his coming as man in the flesh, which was fulfilled partly by Jesus 2000 yeas ago and would be fulfilled completely in the last days by his coming as Adam when he comes for the second time. In short, Adam represents God the Father coming as man.
The Spiritual Eve
If Adam represents God the Father, then who does Eve represents? As we have already seen, Eve was created to let us know the another image of God, God the Mother. Through the creation of Eve, God wanted to teach us the God the Mother who would come as woman in the flesh in the last days. 2ooo years ago when God the Father appeared as spiritual Adam in the name of Jesus, he did not bring his wife, the spiritual Eve. She was kept hidden until the last days.
Who is Eve, who was created with Adam’s flesh and blood?
According to the prophecies of the bible, Spiritual Eve must appear in the last days along with Spiritual Adam, the Second Coming Christ to complete the salvation work. Then why should Eve appear in the last days. To understand the work of the spiritual Eve, first we must look at the physical Eve who was also given as pattern for the spiritual Eve. Then what was the purpose of God in the creation of Eve.
According to the bible Eve was created as helper: “But for Adam no suitable helper was found” (Genesis 1:20) It means she was created to help Adam. Adam was not complete by himself and God created Eve to make up for the lack in Adam. Even though Adam could do everything by himself, there was one thing that he could not do alone: Giving life to the children. Therefore, to help Adam to procreate or to give birth to offspring.
Genesis 3:20 Adam named his wife Eve (or Life), because she would become the mother of all the living.
The name Eve means “life” or “living” in the Hebrew words and she was created to give life to the children. Through this physical Eve, God is teaching us that it is only through the spiritual Eve (God the Mother) the spiritual life can be given to the children. And to give us the eternal life God the Mother must appear along with God the Father in the last days.
The Eternal Life
Just as Adam was the first man who gave life to the children, the bible says Jesus is coming as Adam to give the spiritual life to the spiritual children.
1 Corinthians 15:45 So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit.
The purpose of the appearance of the last Adam or Jesus Christ is to give life to the children. For this purpose Christ must come again as Adam or man in the flesh for the second time in the last days, but when he appears to give us life, he must come along with the spiritual Eve, God the Mother because it was not the will of God to give life to the children only through Adam. But more importantly God created Eve and gave the role of child-birth so that she would give life as mother.
In this story of Adam and Eve, God already foretold the work of Christ who is coming as Adam and Eve to give us eternal life. To give us eternal life or salvation, the Second Coming Christ (the Last Adam) must reveal God the Mother (the Last Eve) who is coming to give us “eternal life,” just as Adam revealed Eve by testifying about her as it is written:
Genesis 3:20 Adam named his wife Eve (or Life), because she would become the mother of all the living.
Adam gave the name and role for Eve and this work of Adam was a prophecy to let us know the work of the spiritual Adam. This prophecy was fulfilled by the Second Coming Christ Ahnsahnghong revealing God the Mother as the last Eve who appeared to give us the eternal life.
Conclusion
The last hidden mystery of the bible, the Last Eve coming as mother of all the living was finally fulfilled in our time. Now we must recognize God the Mother who came as woman in the flesh and accept her and the living water coming from her to receive eternal life. Come to the World Mission Society Church of God established by God the Father and God the Mother in these last days.
