While stopping by the Church of God World Mission Society I was able to learn something new, something I of course never heard about before. It was in the book of Galatians 4:21-26 which speaks about 2 women; the slave woman Hagar representing the old covenant and the free woman Sarah representing the new covenant. But it's strange because while I read this I didn't understand what it meant. Why does God compare the 2 women of the Old Testament in the story of Abraham's heir to 2 covenants? As I continued reading verses 25-26 it says "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." So God used Hagar to tell us about the physical Jerusalem in the Palestine area, but that same God tells us that Sarah represents the heavenly Jerusalem, but this Heavenly Jerusalem is "free" and She is our Mother. I think I understand now. God let us understand in the bible that the things that exist on this earth is actually a copy and shadow of what is in heaven (Hebrews 8:5). So through the Old Covenant I can understand about the Heavenly Jerusalem who is God the Mother. God made it so easy to understand about Heavenly Mother, so the members at the World Mission Society Church of God let the world get a chance to see the testimony with their own eyes rather than interpreting it on their own. It was so new for me to see how all the verses in the bible connect with one another. Unfortunately I can never remember all of the verses so what I can remember I try to make it as clear as I received it. Thanks again to the members at the Church of God World Mission Society for showing me this which now makes so much sense to me. Until next time!

If there is a Father, there should be a Mother God
It's what naturally comes to mind when I see a family consisting of only children walking along with their father. Because I don't see their mother, it doesn't mean I completely deny her existence. I've come to realize that it is the same with Heavenly Mother. All my life I've been taught that we are the children of God who have always known and walked with our Father. But as children we can NOT deny our mothers, right? Even when looking through general common sense, it's natural for there to exist a Mother God just as there exists a Father God. I know about God the Father because bible shows us that God is our Father, then for me to want to see the existence of God the Mother, my only source should be the bible.
At the World Mission Society Church of God, I have come to the realization that the members here have departed from their own fixed ideas and humbly receive the word of God as it is. Gen 1:26 says "Then God said let 'US' make man in 'OUR' image and in 'OUR' likeness." Galatians 4:26 says "But the Jerusalem that is above is free and she is our MOTHER". The members of the Church of God World Mission Society deliver the words of the bible as they are. As I've always been told, "the bible doesn't need to be interpreted, because the bible interprets itself". Just as there is Heavenly Father, the bibles clearly tells us that there is also Heavenly Mother. Well, til next time.

Mother God the City of Truth
This time around I had a question about Heavenly Mother who the Church of God World Mission Society preaches to the world. I asked them why does the bible consider God the Mother as the Holy City New Jerusalem in the bible? In the Old Testament there are many mentions of Jerusalem, but I forgot that the bible is not just history but also a prophecy and a shadow. So if there is a shadow, there should also be a reality and if there is a prophecy there should be a fulfillment. Then it made a lot of sense why God always speaks of Jerusalem in various ways. One prophecy in the Old Testament, in Zechariah 8:3 to be exact, says "This is what the LORD says: 'I will return to Zion and dwell in Jerusalem. Then Jerusalem will be called the City of Truth, and the mountain of the LORD Almighty will be called the Holy Mountain.' "
God Himself says that He will return to Zion and dwell in Jerusalem and Jerusalem will be called (in the future) the City of Truth. Everyone who believes in God always wants to know what is truth and how can we find truth. I always prayed for years to God to find the truth and to know truth. God answered my question and made it so simple for me to understand. He said, "Jerusalem will be called the City of Truth." Who is Jerusalem? Galatians 4:26 says, "but the Jerusalem that is above is free and she is our mother". The way for me to know the truth in these days is to know who the Jerusalem is through God's point of view, not mine. God is Spirit (John 4:24), so when He speaks about Jerusalem, it's not always about a physical city or temple as I thought. If there is a shadow, there is a reality right? Nowadays only the World Mission Society Church of God believes in the Heavenly Mother the bibles clearly testifies about. According to God's words, the Church that has Jerusalem, the City of Truth, means that God dwells there and the truth is there. I'm so thankful to realize I found the truth which is so difficult to find. I want to know more truths so I will continue asking questions.

Mother God is the Rock
So I'm getting to go a little more in depth in my studies at the World Mission Society Church of God. Just finished learning that God the Mother is the Rock in the bible. Actually I never knew anything about this, nor did I even hear mentions of the rock in the bible. Of course, I didn't know anything even though I thought I knew something before. In the book of Isaiah 44:8, God Himself says He is the "only" rock and besides Him there is no other rock. Through this I realized that the only rock in the bible is God Himself. That's clear, but what shocked me most was the last verse as always. In the book of Zechariah 12:3 it says "On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves."
The same bible that says God is the only rock says that in the last days, Jerusalem will be an immovable rock. Who is Jerusalem? Galatians 4:26 says "but the Jerusalem that is above is free and she is our MOTHER". Once again it is made clear to me that the reason the members of the Church of God World Mission Society boldly proclaim the existence of Heavenly Mother is because She's truly found in all parts of the bible. Thanks for reading. I'll keep you posted with more studies I learn.

Heavenly Mother, the Throne of the LORD
In the Old Testament, I always read where it was mentioned about an "Ark of the Covenant". I decided to ask the members of the World Mission Society Church of God about the importance of the Ark of the Covenant mentioned many times in the bible. Of course my question was answered through the bible which is what I love most about this Church. The last verse they took me to which stuck most in my head was Jeremiah 3:16-17 which says; “In those days, when your numbers have increased greatly in the land," declares the LORD, "men will no longer say, 'The ark of the covenant of the LORD.' It will never enter their minds or be remembered; it will not be missed, nor will another one be made. At that time they will call Jerusalem The Throne of the LORD, and all nations will gather in Jerusalem to honor the name of the LORD. No longer will they follow the stubbornness of their evil hearts."
God said that in the last days, men will no longer speak about the ark of the covenant of the LORD. Why is that? Verse 17 says, at that time (in the last days), they will call Jerusalem the Throne of the LORD (Ark of the Covenant). This means that in the last days, men will come to Jerusalem to gather there and to honor the Name of the LORD. Then, who is the Jerusalem in the bible men must come to in the last days? Galatians 4:26 says, but the Jerusalem that is above is free and she is our MOTHER. That's right, the Jerusalem mentioned in the book of Jeremiah, the Throne of the LORD is God the Mother in these days that we're living in. Just wanted to share this with the people here and hope you're as excited as I am after realizing this. I, like always, will stick to studying and learning more.

Heavenly Mother is the Bride
While studying about Mother God at the Church of God World Mission Society, I have understood and realized many things I've never known about before. One of them is about the Bride. Before coming to the Church of God World Mission Society, I, like many people believed that the bride in the bible was the church. There was no way to tell me otherwise. How stubborn I was. When I left all the false teachings that were engraved in my mind behind, everything became so much clearer and easier to understand. When I was asked who the Bride in the book of Revelation was, I of course said "the church". So I was then asked "who is the Lamb in the bible?" .... I said "Jesus".
"Then, why did Jesus also consider his people to be the lamb in the book of John 21:15?" they asked. "Also, the word water has multiple meanings in the bible. Just because a word means one thing in one part of the bible, does NOT mean that it means the same in every part of the bible".
It was then when I understood my error. I was oblivious, not realizing that I had mistakenly given the Bride in the book of Revelation, my own meaning. Actually, the Bride in the book of Revelation is the Heavenly Jerusalem, not the church. Then, who is the Heavenly Jerusalem in the bible? Galatians 4:26 says that the Jerusalem that is above (heaven) is free is she is our MOTHER.

Mother God is Common Sense
To believe in God the Mother is common sense. I realized this while taking a study at the Church of God World Mission Society. Actually, it never dawned on me as to why we call God, Father. To be a father, you need children. Also, to be a father there has to be a mother. This doesn't apply only to humans, but to any living creature in this world. Then, how can God the Mother not exist? That was my reaction during the study. It makes perfect sense for there to be a Heavenly Mother. When I was shown the verse in Galatians 4:26 "But the Jerusalem that is above is free and she is our mother", I couldn't argue it. Why does the bible say this? If us, children of God didn't have a Mother, then why would this verse be in the bible?
It can easily be understood through the following example: Parents is one word meaning father and mother. In the same way, God is one word meaning Father and Mother. The reason I share this is because I was amazed at how clear this was. It made perfect sense so I just couldn't hold back sharing this with everyone. Thanks for reading
