I was able to learn about the parable of the Wedding Banquet which is in the bible (Mt 22) at the World Mission Society Church of God. I never heard about this parable nor have a ever read it, so studying about it was pretty awesome. Basically, the last one to always appear and who is the most important one in a wedding ceremony is the bride. Actually, this is common sense. But, in the parable of the Wedding Banquet, there isn't a mention of a Bride. Just like a bride appears last in her wedding ceremony, likewise the spiritual Bride in the bible should appear last, but when exactly? Rev 19:7 says "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." The Bride, who is our Heavenly Mother will appear in the last days to give Her children eternal life. The reason I found this so awesome when studying at the Church of God World Mission Society was because of how perfect it was and how much sense it made. Mother God is truly testified all throughout the bible. At first, when I was told that God the Mother is found in all parts of the bible, I didn't believe it all. Now, after only a couple of studies I can witness firsthand how true that statement is. There are more studies so I can't wait to learn more and share here.

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.
