[Mother] Heavenly Jerusalem, our Heavenly Mother


Heavenly Jerusalem, our Heavenly Mother

While earthly Jerusalem is just the city of Israel,
Heavenly Jerusalem is our Mother,
only through Who we can get eternal life.

As you know, the Bible contains lots of parables and sometimes we take them figuratively, by comparing two things far from each other and opposite.

Among them, I'd like to introduce the parable of 'Jerusalem'.

Actually Jerusalem is the capital city of Israel and regarded as the Holy Land to all the Christians where they eagerly want to visit in a way of pilgrimage. They look at the earthly Jerusalem, not seeing the spiritual Jerusalem.

However the Bible reveals the secret of the Jerusalem to be taken figuratively and leads us realize that the spiritual Jerusalem is our 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.

If we headed for the earthly Jerusalem and tried to visit there as the pilgrimage trip, we would not meet the spiritual Jerusalem, our Mother. We need to set our mind on high above, opening our spiritual eyes, in order to find Heavenly Mother.

Rev 21:9~10 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.

As there is a saying, 'Heaven helps those who help themselves,' whoever helps himself to find the truth of the spiritual Jerusalem in the Bible can receive Heavenly Mother.

Ruth Kim - A Letter from Christ

A Letter from God Nowadays people no longer write a handwritten letter, instead they send text message or e-mail with one another. Usually it’s believed that the handwritten letter contains what they think of some issues, how much they take care of others, what message they want to tell and that it shows their heart. More precisely as we just read the letter, we can even notice the personality or character of writer.   In the Bible, God called us ‘a letter from Christ’. Why did He say that? We can notice God’s will, saying ‘We are the letters from Christ’, that God’s children have to show and reflect God’s real love towards the world how much He love people and who we ought to be and how we should act to help people understand Christ and believe in God Elohim; Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother. 2Co 3:1~3 Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, like some people, letters of recommendation to you or from you? You show that you are a letter from Ch...

Kyle - Passover, the master key to completely protect from the last disaster.

Image
The Bible prophesied the great disaster will come on the earth. But the Bible also tells us about not only disaster but also the method that we can be protected from it. Then, How does God protect us from the disaster? Ex 12:13 The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt. In the age of Moses, God established the Passover for the first time and He promised the disaster would pass over them when they keep it. According to this God’s promise, Israelites who kept the Passover were saved from the disaster that all firstborn were killed. And this promise was not only for the time of Moses. In the time of king Hezekiah 800 years after Moses, there is history people who kept the Passover were saved. 2Ch 30:1,10 Hezekiah sent word to all Israel and Judah and also wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasseh, inviting them to come to the temple of the LORD in Jerus...

[Mother] Who Do You Take After?

Image
Lets Us Make Man in Our Image and in Our Likeness I've often heard from birth that I really take after my mother. People used to compare my mom and me when I was a baby, pointing to my eyes, nose and mouth, my mom was pleased to hear what people were saying. I was glad that my mom was smiling and be pleasant because I took after my mom and it made her happy. Ge 1:27 God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. I was born of the image of God, especially the female image of God. Thus When compared God and me, pointing to my eyes, nose and mouth, I should really take after God. 2Co 6:18 I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty. I call the male image of God a Father. I call the female image of God a Mother. I call God Elohim Heavenly Parents. I'm happy to be Their child, as a daughter. I'm happy They call me 'a daughter', even the beloved ch...
