The Spirit and the Bride

Whom Does the Bible Testify About?

The bible is the book testifying about the Savior who was to come to give us salvation.

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, yet you refuse to come to me to have life.

“Christ” in Greek or “Messiah” in Hebrew means “the Anointed One”, which means God would come as man and be anointed to fulfill the prophecies of the bible as king, prophet, and high priest. 2000 years ago, Jesus Christ came as the Anointed One, but people rejected him and at the end crucified him on the cross. Only those who believed the words and prophecies of God in the bible could accept him and receive salvation.

The same bible testifies that Christ would come as man for the second time (Heb 9:28), and get anointed again to complete the prophecies of the bible. When it happens, it would be a great test to people today. Many who look at the appearances of the Christ would reject him. Only those who believes in the words of God in the bible would receive him as fulfillment of the prophecies of the bible and receive salvation.

Many says that the bride in the heavenly wedding in Revelation is the church. Today let us get rid of our prejudice and find out the identity of the heavenly New Jerusalem, the bride and wife of the Lamb.

The Spirit and Bride Giving the Water of Life

The Water of Life

According to the bible, the salvation of God is expressed through many different metaphors. Sometimes it is compared to bread that gives life (Jn 6:35), or to water (Jn 4:13), or even to seeds (Mt 13:37). Especially powerful is the metaphor of water that gives life. It is used all throughout the bible as the main motif of God’s salvation. Prophet Isaiah says:

Isaiah 55:1 Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! ….. Give ear and come to me; listen, that you may live.

In Ezekiel, we can see the water of life flowing out from the temple of God and in Revelation too there is the water of life from the throne of God. Water is essential to lead a life on this earth. By using this function of water God is comparing his salvation and to receive the salvation we have to drink the water of life.

The Water of Life From God

Then who is the source of the water of life? According to the bible the only source of water of life is God himself because only God can give eternal life. (Ps 133:3, Jn 10:28) In the Old Testament, God the Father Jehovah was the Savior and thus He was the source of the water of life.

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.

Therefore, those who wanted to receive salvation must come to God Jehovah for the water of life. In the Age of the Son, it was only Jesus who could give the water of life.

John 4:13 Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 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.

Then what about us? Who is the source of the water of life in our time? Definitely, it is God. Then who is the true Savior that we have to receive as God in the last day? Without paying attention to the bible, we cannot find the true Savior. Then what does the bible say about the Savior in the last day? Who are the source of the water of life?

What is the New Jerusalem that is the source of the water of life in the last day?

The Water of Life from the Spirit and the Bride

Revelation, which testifies about the last day, teaches us the true source of the water of life in the last day.

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.

Revelation prophesies that the water of life or salvation of eternal life is coming from the Spirit and the bride. Then who must be the Spirit and the bride? We have agreed that the only one who can give the water of life is God himself. In this respect, we can say that the Spirit and the bride must be God.

The Spirit is God the Father in terms of the Trinity that God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit are one. Then who are the bride of the Spirit (or the Lamb in Revelation 21:9 and 19:7)? Since this bride is the wife of the Lamb Jesus, who is God the Father, we can guess she must be God the Mother.

Who is the Bride of the Lamb?

The Bride of the Lamb, Heavenly Jerusalem

In the Book of Revelation, John testifies about the bride of the Spirit who gives the water of life. Let us follow his testimony one by one to find out the identity of the bride in Revelation.

Revelation 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.

Here we can see the wedding banquet of the Lamb and the bride. Since the Lamb in Chapter 19 is referred as the Spirit in Chapter 22, we can see the Lamb (or Jesus) is the Spirit. That is, the bridegroom of the wedding is Jesus himself. Since this is about the last day, we can say that this is about Jesus’ Second Coming as bridegroom to complete the parable of wedding banquet which he taught 2000 years ago. (Mt 22:1) Then who is the bride of Jesus? She was never mentioned in the parable of the wedding banquet 2000 years ago since it was not the time for her to be revealed.

Finally, the time for the bride has come and she is ready to be revealed. Then who is the bride or the wife of the Lamb?

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.” 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.

An angel showed John the New Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God. What is the New Jerusalem who is the wife of the Lamb?

Heavenly Jerusalem Our Mother

Here the angel showed John the wife of the Lamb. Strangely enough the bride of the Lamb is described as “the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.” (Rev 21:2) As we know that the bible is mainly written in a parabolic language, we have to understand this also as parable. We should not think that a city of precious gems is coming down from heaven.

To find out the true meaning of the Heavenly Jerusalem we have to find a mated verse in the bible as Isiah said: “Look in the scroll of the Lord and read: None of these will be missing, not one will lack her mate.” The vision of the heavenly Jerusalem can be explained through the mated verse in the bible.

Apostle Paul had the same vision of the Heavenly Jerusalem and testified about it.

Galatians 4:26 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.

Paul clearly testifies that the Heavenly Jerusalem is our Mother, which means God the Mother who give us life. The reason God the Mother is compared the Most Holy Place of the Jerusalem Temple (Rev 21:16) can be found in Jesus Christ himself, who compared his body as temple of God where the Spirit of God dwells. (Jn 2:20) This is true with God the Mother who will appear in human likeness, forsaking the divinity of God. (Phil 2:7)

(To find more information about Christ as the reality of the temple, follow this link.)

Jesus said that he is the source of the water of life. Likewise, Christ is the true temple of God from where the living water is flowing out to the whole world giving life to people.

Conclusion

Through these testimonies of the bible, we can conclude that the Spirit and the Bride are God the Father and God the Mother, coming together to give the water of life.

Therefore, those who want to receive the salvation of God in our time must know the Spirit and Bride to receive the water of life. If we look at the outward appearance of the Spirit and the Bride, we can be deceived and reject them. Then what the consequences would be!! Rather suspending our disbelief, we have to pay attention to the words of God in the bible. Then we can see the divinity hidden in the form of human likeness.

Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother appeared as the Spirit and the bride to us to give us the water of life. Now come to the Spirit and the bride and receive the salvation of eternal life.

[GOD THE MOTHER] The Bride Of Christ, God The Mother

Introduction

The Bride of Christ God the Mother–Today, even though there are many who claim to know the words of God in the bible, most of the cases their knowledge is not based on the teachings of God in the bible. Rather, they just interpret the bible with their own wisdom and understanding. This practice causes a lot of confusion among the people who studies and try to understand the bible. Jesus said about this, “Blind men leading other blind men. And if a blind man leads another blind man, both of them will fall into a ditch.” (Matthew 15:14)

Just as Jesus said, one ignorant is teaching another ignorant. And in this way, the world is filled with the lack of knowledge about the words of God in the bible. Each has different ideas from another. And even that kind of diversity in understanding and interpretation is encouraged and accepted for the sake of the increase of the knowledge. But God clearly warned that the words of God is truth and do not interpret the absolute words of God with relativistic knowledge of humans.

Isa 55:8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. 9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.

The Bride Of Christ In The Book Of Revelation

The Bride of Christ God the Mother–One of the biggest misunderstandings of the bible is about the Bride of Christ who appears in Revelation. Revelation speaks about the completion of the heavenly wedding banquet foretold by Jesus 2000 years ago. (Matthew 22:1) He gave this parable to teach the kingdom of heaven. Through this story of wedding banquet, we can understand what kind of people would be able to enter the kingdom of heaven.

Finally, in the Book of Revelation, we can see the complete fulfillment of the wedding banquet by the appearance of the bride of Christ. 2000 years ago, when Jesus gave the parable of the wedding banquet, he did not mention the identity of his bride. When the time has come for her to be revealed in the last day, at last, he reveals his bride, the last secret of the parable.

Is The Bride Church?

The Bride of Christ God the Mother–And today many says the bride of Christ in Revelation is Church. Is it true? Definitely not. 2000 years ago, when Jesus gave the parable he made clear distinction between the couple and the guests or the invited ones in the parable. And God’s people are portrayed as “the invited one,” not “the bride.”

Matthew 22: 8 “Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come. 9 So go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find.’ 10 So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, the bad as well as the good, and the wedding hall was filled with guests……14 “For many are invited, but few are chosen.”

This parable is concerned about the marriage of a couple ( a husband and a bride). And we can also see many who finally fills the whole wedding hall. These are called in many different titles such as the invited or the guests. And Jesus Christ teaches they are the chosen or the people of God who are to be saved. Therefore, through this parable we can conclude that the bride is different from the guests.

God’s People as Guests

The Bride of Christ God the Mother–We can confirm this through other similar parables of Jesus.

Mark 2:18 Now John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting. Some people came and asked Jesus, “How is it that John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees are fasting, but yours (Jesus’s disciples) are not?” 19 Jesus answered, “How can the guests of the bridegroom fast while he is with them? They cannot, so long as they have him with them. 20 But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them, and on that day they will fast.

In this parable too, Jesus compares his disciples (or God’s people who are to be saved) as guests, not the bride. He compares himself as bridegroom and his people (the chosen ones) are the guests. 2000 years ago, however, he did not mention anything about the bride in the wedding banquet. It was because the time for the bride has not come yet.

Can you imagine a wedding banquet without a bride?

The True Bride of Christ

The Bride of Christ God the Mother–Finally, the bride appears in the Book of Revelation. It means she meant to appear in the last days. This appearance of the bride is very important for the salvation work of God. Let us think about the purpose of a wedding banquet. A wedding is a ceremony in which a man and a woman become a husband and wife. And they build up a family. What is the ultimate purpose? To give “LIFE” to the children.

The Source of Life

The Bride of Christ God the Mother–Through the parable of the wedding banquet, Jesus is trying to teach us the salvation work of God. As in the physical wedding, the ultimate purpose of the heavenly wedding banquet is to give salvation or “eternal LIFE” to the chosen people of God. For this purpose the wedding banquet must be made complete in the last day when the salvation work is finished.

To make the heavenly wedding complete, the last missing piece of puzzle must be filled up. Then what was missing 2000 years ago? It was the appearance of the bride. Even though Jesus gave the parable in many different places, he never mentioned anything about the Bride. If the bride is not important, why should he use the parable of wedding? He could have used a parable of a birthday party, instead.

The reason Jesus did not mention the bride is because it was not the time yet for her to appear. After the wedding banquet, it is the bride that gives life to the children. In the same way, in this spiritual wedding banquet, the bride is the one who grants “eternal life” to the chosen people. Therefore, the guests or the chosen who want to receive eternal life must know “the bride” as well as the bridegroom (or Jesus Christ). Then who is the bride that gives eternal life to the guests?

Who is the bride of Christ in the heavenly wedding banquet?

The Bride of Christ, God the Mother

Let us take a look at the prophecies of the Book of Revelation to find the true bride of Christ.

Revelation 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. 8 Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear.” (Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of God’s holy people.) 9 Then the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!” And he added, “These are the true words of God.”

In this parable of the completion of the wedding banquet, we can see the bridegroom (Christ), finally the bride, and guests (those who are invited). In this parable too, we see that the bride and the guests (God’s people or church) is not the same. Therefore, it is wrong to claim that the bride is the church. Then who is the bride the Lamb (or the Christ)? All the guests who wants to receive salvation must attend this wedding banquet. And they must know the bride as well as the bridegroom for their salvation.

The Bride OF Christ, 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.

The Bride of Christ God the Mother–Finally, to complete the wedding banquet, the bride appears by coming down from heaven to this earth. Then what is “the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God”? We cannot imagine a big city in the geographical sense coming down from heaven. In this wedding, Jesus is not physically a Lamb, but spiritually. In the same way, the heavenly Jerusalem is not physical. It should be spiritual.

Then who is this heavenly Jerusalem? She is the last secret the guest must know for the salvation.

Galatians 4:26 But the Jerusalem that is above (in heaven) is free, and she is our mother.

The heavenly Jerusalem is, in fact, Our Mother. We have Our Father in heaven (Matthew 6:9). And we call him God the Father. And the Same bible says we have Our Mother in heaven, that is, God the Mother.

God the Father And God the Mother

The Bride of Christ God the Mother–Through this parable of the heavenly wedding banquet, Jesus has wanted to teach us the existence of God the Mother, the last secret of the bible. In the last day, to complete the wedding banquet, God the Father and God the Mother must appear together. And they would gather all the chosen ones to the wedding hall to give them eternal life.

After the appearance of God the Mother, finally God’s salvation work is made complete by granting the eternal life or living water to the children of God.

Revelation 22:17 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.

The Spirit and the Bride, the God the Father and God the Mother would come together and gather the children by calling them to “come”. And when they are gathered, finally they together give the water of life or eternal life to them.

Invitation to the Heavenly Wedding Banquet Presented to YOU!!

In conclusion, God’s people who wants to receive this water of life must know God the Mother, the true bride of God. She would grant the water of life to all the people who wishes. Amen, Amen!
