The Kingdom of Heaven with Only Father and the Kingdom of Heaven with Both Father and Mother

Recently, many people have been asking us about God the Mother after seeing press releases or watching videos which introduce the Church of God. We are also hearing news about people from all around the world who are coming into the way of truth, although they had previously misunderstood the Church of God or did not know about the church fully.

A member, who wanted to preach about God the Mother, met with one of his friends and asked, “Do you want to go to Heaven?” Then his friend answered, “Yes, of course, I do.” He asked his friend again, “If you want to go to the Kingdom of Heaven, would you rather be where there is only Father or where both Father and Mother dwell?” His friend replied that it would be better if he could go to the Kingdom of Heaven where both Father and Mother dwell.

How about you? Do you want to live in the Kingdom of Heaven where there is only Father or the Kingdom of Heaven where both Father and Mother exist? As for me, I greatly prefer the Kingdom of Heaven where all of our heavenly family members will live together with God our Father and God our Mother.

The Spirit and the Bride Give the Water of Life

Let’s think about a family. A family consists of a father and a mother. It is the same with the heavenly family: There exist God the Father and God the Mother in Heaven. God has made this fact known to us.

The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life. Rev 22:17

In the above verse, the Spirit refers to God, the equivalent of God the Father and God the Son according to the Trinity. God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are all expressions used for the male image of God. The Spirit, the male image of God, and the Bride, who is His wife, are saying to all mankind, “Come!”

Who is the Bride of God our Father, and what is Her relationship to us? She is our Mother. Through this single verse alone, we can see that not only God the Father but also God the Mother exists in the everlasting Kingdom of Heaven, where we must go. This scene is a revelation which God, who is faithful and never does wrong, has personally shown to us.

The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, who testifies to everything he saw—that is, the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ. Rev 1:1–2

The book of Revelation is a part of the Bible which the Apostle John wrote as he saw and heard the revelation from Jesus Christ. In the revelation which God gave the Apostle John, He showed him what would take place in the last days. The book of Revelation records that the Spirit who is God the Father and His Bride, who is God the Mother, say together, “Come! Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life.”

Most churches that claim to believe in God today teach that there is only one God who created man; however, the Bible explains very clearly that both God the Father and God the Mother exist together.

The Male Image of God and the Female Image of God, Who Created Man and Woman Together

From the first chapter of the Bible, it is testified that both God the Father and God the Mother exist. Let us examine this fact in Genesis 1.

Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. Ge 1:26–27

When God created man, God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness.” God did not say, “I will make man,” but rather, “Let us make man.” Through this fact, we can confirm that man was not created by one God.

Some people insist that the angles alongside God helped Him and that’s why God said, “Let us make man”; yet, there is only one God who created man. If their logic were true, they would have to reach the conclusion that the angels are the creators of all mankind; however, no one can be the creator except God.

God created man in God’s own image, saying, “Let us make man,” after which male and female were created. This is evidence that two Gods, both the male image of God and the female image of God, created mankind; there is not only one God. The male image of God has been referred to as “Father” by human beings even until this day. Then, what should we call the female image of God? Of course, we should call Her “Mother.”

Since the word “God” described in the Bible is singular, you may think that God is only one; however, in the original text of the Hebrew Bible, God is referred to as “Elohim,” a plural noun, almost 2,500 times. In Hebrew there is a singular noun “Eloah” or “El.” When the suffix “-im” is added to the singular term Eloah, it produces the plural word “Elohim,” which means “Gods.” In Genesis 1:1 it is written, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” This verse is also recorded in the Hebrew Bible in the following way: “In the beginning Elohim [Gods] created the heavens and the earth.” Thus, there is not only one God who created mankind as well as the heavens and the earth. Elohim, referring to God the Father and God the Mother, worked together, saying, “Let us make man in our image . . .”

Nevertheless, for a long period of time, God has only been known to be the Father, the one and only God. Why is this? It is because the father represents the family. In olden times, Korean families would hang nameplates up on their front doors. The nameplate would only reflect the name of the father for each household. Despite the nameplate only displaying the name of the father, it did not mean that only the father was living inside the house. In actuality, both the mother and the children also lived there together with the father. Since the father was the head of the family, his name was written on the nameplate as the main representative of the family.

Similar to traditional Korean society, women who lived in ancient Israel were treated as the subordinates of men due to the patriarchal idea of male superiority and authority. As a result of this stereotype, many people have been unable to understand or accept the fact that God the Mother is working alongside God the Father, despite having read the Bible diligently. The existence of God the Mother was not previously revealed because the prophetic time for Her to appear had not yet come. More importantly, the Bible has never denied the existence of God the Mother.

Our Father and Our Mother in Heaven

The Bible prophesies about the time when the existence of God the Mother will be clearly known to all human beings, even though She has been hidden behind God the Father until the prophesied time. Just as the woman Eve was created on the last day of Creation, God the Mother is to be revealed in the last days. In regards to this, the Bible says, “The wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready” (Rev 19:7). If you recognize and believe in God the Mother, you will be able to understand God’s will to a certain degree. You will understand why God has shifted the present times and circumstances to be favorable towards women. In the past, women were suppressed and hidden behind men; however, now they are rising to positions of power and influence while their rights are being steadily expanded.

The Bible testifies about Elohim [Gods] from another aspect as follows:

“This, then, is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven . . .’ ” Mt 6:9–10

This verse is a scene where Jesus teaches His disciples the Lord’s Prayer. Through this example, Jesus reveals to us that there exits our Father in Heaven; however, the Bible states that there is our Mother as well as our Father in Heaven.

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

Here, the word “above” refers to Heaven. The Bible testifies that the Jerusalem that is above is our mother. The terminology “our mother” recorded here does not refer to our physical mother who gave birth to our body, but our spiritual Mother who gave birth to our soul. She is God the Mother who created women in Her own image, saying, “Let us make man in our image,” when Elohim created the heavens, the earth, and all things in them.

For it is written: “Be glad, O barren woman, who bears no children; break forth and cry aloud, you who have no labor pains; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband.” Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise . . . Therefore, brothers, we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman. Gal 4:27–31

The Bible says that we are the children of the free woman. What should we call the woman who gave birth to us? Of course, we should call Her “Mother.” The book of Matthew testifies to the existence of our Father in Heaven, and the book of Galatians clearly testifies to the existence of our Mother, the Jerusalem that is above.

You Will Be My Sons and Daughters

The systems on this earth are a copy and shadow of what exists in Heaven (Heb 8:5). There is no shadow that can exist without a substance or reality. If the family system on this earth is only a copy and shadow, then there must be its reality in Heaven.

Therefore, in the heavenly family as well, there is our Mother as well as our Father. God calls us “My sons and daughters.”

“Therefore come out from them and be separate, says the Lord . . . I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.” 2 Co 6:17–18

The Bible says that we will be God’s sons and daughters. A father, sons and daughters, and a mother, are all members of a family.

Just as a family on this earth consists of a father, a mother, sons and daughters, the heavenly family also consists of a Heavenly Father, Mother, sons and daughters. A home, where members of a family live together, is a place filled with love and happiness. In the same way, the Kingdom of Heaven is a place of eternal rest where there is an overflowing abundance of love and happiness, right? When God the Father, God the Mother, and God’s loving sons and daughters are abiding together in the Kingdom of Heaven, then we can say it is a world of endless joy, pleasure and happiness.

When children return home, they call for their moms first. Even after they grow up and are married, they make efforts to visit their hometown, no matter how far away it is, because their parents live there. This is especially the case when a traditional holiday comes. If only their father is there and not their mother, they may experience a feeling of emptiness. That is the nature of human beings. God planted a longing for their mother in their hearts when creating them.

The Kingdom of Heaven is our spiritual home where our Heavenly Father, our Heavenly Mother, and our brothers and sisters are living together. If only Father existed in the everlasting Kingdom of Heaven, how contradictory would this be? This concept can be easily understood even by little children; however, today’s religious leaders are committing a great error by insisting that there is only one God, the Father, despite claiming to have much knowledge about the Bible. Jesus said, “The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them,” and, “Blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear” (Mt 13:10–16).

There is no doubt that we have both God our Father and God our Mother. God has proclaimed this fact from the very beginning in the book of Genesis. At the conclusion of the book of Revelation, God appears as the Spirit and the Bride, calling all human beings to receive salvation. Many people do not acknowledge this fact, and they insist that there is only one God, the Father. In actuality, the Bible teaches us that we must believe in and receive God the Mother as well as God the Father.

Shine the light of the glory of Jerusalem

The Bible calls our holy Heavenly Mother the “Jerusalem that is above.” Let us look into the book of the prophet Isaiah, which testifies about the relationship between Jerusalem and Her children.

“Rejoice with Jerusalem and be glad for her, all you who love her; rejoice greatly with her, all you who mourn over her. For you will nurse and be satisfied at her comforting breasts; you will drink deeply and delight in her overflowing abundance.” For this is what the Lord says: “I will extend peace to her like a river, and the wealth of nations like a flooding stream; you will nurse and be carried on her arm and dandled on her knees. As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you; and you will be comforted over Jerusalem.” When you see this, your heart will rejoice and you will flourish like grass; the hand of the Lord will be made known to his servants, but his fury will be shown to his foes. Isa 66:10–14

The happiest moment for any mother is when she is with her children. The same can be said from the perspective of children about their mother. The happiest moment for them is when they are carried in their mother’s arms, dandled on her knees and nursed at her breast when they are hungry. Through this type of description, the prophet Isaiah explains the deep relationship between God the Mother and Her children.

As the children of Jerusalem, our Heavenly Mother, and those who love Her, we should always rejoice with Mother and be glad for Her. Concerning the glorious future that Jerusalem will bring about, Isaiah 60 prophesies as follows:

“Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn. Lift up your eyes and look about you: All assemble and come to you; your sons come from afar, and your daughters are carried on the arm.” Isa 60:1–4

The only way to defeat the darkness is to shine the light. When we shine the true light (Jn 1:9), testifying about God the Father and God the Mother to all people in the world, the darkness will retreat and our heavenly family members will all gather together into the arms of Jerusalem Mother. They will rejoice with Mother and be glad for Her. The Bible prophesies that when we shine the glory of Jerusalem, Her sons and daughters will come from afar and even kings will come to Her light. This prophecy is now becoming a reality. Our heavenly family members all around the world are running into the arms of Mother one after another. This is happening wherever we proclaim that God the Father and God the Mother have come as the Spirit and the Bride to give us the water of life.

Let us quickly preach the good news that God the Mother exists, to all of the poor souls who are still wandering in spiritual darkness without realizing Her existence. Brothers and sisters in Zion! I earnestly hope that you will all enjoy eternal life and happiness in the Kingdom of Heaven where there both our Father and Mother dwell.
