Heavenly Mother Jerusalem
We have studied that there exist a God the Father, and His children, in the heavenly family. Then, who is left? It's Mother.
Gal. 4:25-26 『Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present city of Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children. But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.』
In this verse we can find the words "our mother." "Our" refers to the children who believe in God. This verse reveals that there exists a heavenly Mother to the children who will be saved.
So far, we've studied about which members compose a family, and we have confirmed that we have a spiritual family in heaven. Just as we have fathers, brothers, sisters, and mothers in our physical families, we have our spiritual Father, brothers, sisters, and spiritual Mother in our spiritual family.
The family must be connected by blood
What connects a family together? It's blood. Just as physical children inherit their father and mother's flesh and blood, the spiritual children inherit the spiritual Father and Mother's flesh and blood. If the physical family is connected by physical blood, then the heavenly family is connected by heavenly blood, because what is on earth is a copy and a shadow of what is in heaven.
John 6:53-55 『Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink."』
Jesus fed his people with His flesh and blood, so the heavenly Father and Mother's blood and flesh are now in us. Only God has eternal life. The flesh and blood of God?who gives eternal life?has been given to us, God's children. Thus, we have become eternal beings and we are able to call upon God, "Abba, Father!"
Right to Become the children of Father Ahnsahnghong
Then, through what truth can we receive the right to become God's children? How can we inherit the flesh and blood of our heavenly Father?
Matt. 26:17-19 『On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?" He replied, "Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, 'The Teacher says: My appointed time is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.'" So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.』
Matt. 26:26-28 『While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is my body." Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.』
As shown above, the Passover bread is Jesus' body, His flesh, and the Passover wine is Jesus' blood. By eating and drinking the bread and wine of the Passover, we can receive God's flesh and blood and become God's children.
Christ Ahnsahnghong is the one who brought the Passover in this last age. Christ Ahnsahnghong is our spiritual Father who brought us the Passover, which spiritually connects us with God. Our spiritual Mother is the true God who gives us birth and brings us up.
Don't you want to be a member of the spiritual family? Let us all become God's children, receiving the flesh and blood of our heavenly Father Ahnsahnghong and our heavenly Mother through the Passover of the new covenant, so that we can inherit the kingdom of God.

HEAVENLY MOTHER ♡HEAVENLY FAMILY AND EARTHLY FAMILY - 1
Heb. 8:5 『They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven.』
All of the earthly systems are a copy and a shadow of what is in heaven. The family system is the same. Christ Ahnsahnghong revealed to us the existence of the heavenly Mother by teaching us about the heavenly family system through the earthly family system.
Everything within the spiritual world is reflected on this earth. In other words, everything on the earth is a shadow, and the things in heaven are the realities of what is on earth.
God established the earthly family system to show us that there is also a family system in heaven. The reason why God made every family on the earth has a father, a mother, and children was to reveal that in heaven, as well, there is a Father, a Mother, and children. God's providence is to let us know that there exists a God the Mother in heaven, as well as a God the Father.
Do you want to be a part of the heavenly family? Let us find out how we can be members of the heavenly family.
House
What are you reminded of when you hear the word "family"? Don't you think of a "house"? Jesus also mentioned a "house" many times in the Bible.
John 14:1-3 『"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place [house] for you. And if I go and prepare a place [house] for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.』
Jesus said that the Father's house surely exists. As of now, the house has been prepared. Then, who will be the members of this house? The family system described in the Bible is paternalistic. As you can see through your physical family, the first, main member of the house is the father. Therefore, if there is a father in the families on the earth, there must also be a Father in heaven.
Heavenly Father Ahnsahnghong
Let us find out if we have a Father in heaven.
Heb. 12:9 『Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of our spirits and live!』
Matt. 6:9 『"This, then, is how you should pray: 'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name...' "』
The God in heaven is our God the Father. Just as we have a physical father on this earth, we have a spiritual Father in heaven. He is God the Father, Ahnsahnghong.
Children of heavenly Father Ahnsahnghong
Who comes to mind next when we think of a family? Most people will think of a "mother." But before we consider "mother," we have to think about what kind of person can be called a "father." No one can be called "father" unless he has a child. No mater how old a man is, if he has had no children, who would call him "father"? The title "father" is only used by children.
Therefore, a family must have children. Let us find out if our heavenly Father has children.
Matt. 12:46 『While Jesus was still talking to the crowd, his mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to him. Someone told him, "Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to you." He replied to him, "Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?" Pointing to his disciples, he said, "Here are my mother and my brothers. For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother."』
Here, we can find the words "brothers" and "sisters." Just as we have physical brothers and sisters, we have spiritual brothers and sisters. God's children, who call upon the God in heaven as "Father," must follow the will of the heavenly Father. In the Church of God, the children of the heavenly Father keep the Sabbath, the Passover, and all of the other truths, according to the will of the Father in heaven. The Church of God follows the teachings of Christ Ahnsahnghong, and we are brothers and sisters.
All of the earthly systems are a copy and a shadow of what is in heaven. The family system is the same. Christ Ahnsahnghong revealed to us the existence of the heavenly Mother by teaching us about the heavenly family system through the earthly family system.

Jerusalem Mother
The Church of God only follows the teachings of the Bible and believes in the Second Coming Christ Ahnsahnghong and Jerusalem Mother.
In the Bible, God is referred to through plural terms instead of singular terms, and it is written that God has a male image and a female image. Therefore, God exists in the male image and in the female image.
Have you ever thought about why we call God our Father?
It is written that God's invisible qualities have been clearly seen and can be understood through what has been made (Rom. 1:20). Is there any creature that is given life through only their father, alone, without a mother being present?
We need to study this matter carefully.

The children of Promise
The Bible calls us "the children of promise."
Gal. 4:28 『Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise.』
Then, what promise did God make to those who are called the children of promise? God promised them eternal life.
1 John 2:25 『And this is what he promised us—even eternal life.』
How is eternal life given to us? The Bible says that all things were created by God's will (Rev. 4:11). Among all of the many creatures that God has created, let us focus on the mothers. Since it is written that God created all things by His will, a certain will of God was expressed when He created mothers on this earth. As you know, all creatures have a mother figure. There is not a single creature that can come into existence without a mother.
Our physical life is given to us through our physical mother. For 280 days, a baby's hands, feet, eyes and ears form within his mother's womb. When the time comes, the mother will give birth to her child, shedding blood. We are given life through our mother's great pain. How about our spiritual life? Just as our physical life was given to us through our physical mother, our spiritual life is given to us through our spiritual Mother.
The Bible clearly testifies that our heavenly Mother exists, and that only our heavenly Mother can give us eternal life.

God's Two Images
Let us study through the Bible to discover the existence of our spiritual Mother.
Gen. 1:26-27 『Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness..." So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.』
The above verse states that God has two images—a male image and a female image. Until now, we have only known and called upon the male image of God: "Father." Then how should we call upon the female image of God? Logically, we should refer to God's female image as "Mother." This is why God had said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness."
The word "us" is a plural term. "Elohim," the Hebrew word used in place of "God" in Genesis 1:26, directly translates to "Gods," the plural form of the word "God." Therefore, the references to "us" in the book of Genesis refer to God the Father and God the Mother. Some say that the word "us" in this verse indicates God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. If this argument is correct, there should be three types of people in the world—those who were made in the image of God the Father, those who resemble the image of God the Son, and those created in the image of the Holy Spirit. However, on this earth there are only two types of people: men and women. However, the "Gods" mentioned in Genesis 1:26 are the male image of God and the female image of God—God the Father and God the Mother.

The Will of God in Creating Eve, Adam’s Wife
Let us study more truth regarding the heavenly Mother through the character Adam, written in the book of Romans.
Rom. 5:14 『...Adam, who was a pattern of the one to come.』
Since the book of Romans was written after Jesus had already ascended, the "one to come" mentioned in the above verse indicates the Second Coming Jesus. Adam was created to lead us to the Second Coming Jesus. Then, what was God's will in creating Eve, Adam's wife?
Gen. 2:21 『So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs and closed up the place with flesh.』
Gen. 3:20 『Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become the mother of all the living.』
The name "Eve" means "life." Eve was called "the mother of all the living." God's intent in creating Adam was to reveal the Second Coming Jesus, our heavenly Father, and Eve was created to reveal the Second Coming Jesus' wife, our heavenly Mother. In other words, just as Eve was called "the mother of all the living," we can only be given eternal life through our heavenly Mother. Eve represents our heavenly Mother.

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