Heavenly Mother (also referred to as “God the Mother”) is the Savior who gives eternal life to mankind together with Heavenly Father (God the Father). The Bible tells us that humans not only have a body but also a soul, and that souls have a home and parents. Heaven, the home of the souls where the saved saints will go, is the place where they can live with Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother. According to the prophecies in the Bible, Heavenly Mother, who has not been revealed until now, must appear in this age, the last age of the work of redemption.

Heavenly Country, the Home of the Soul

Just as there is a home for the body, there is also a home for the soul.

Just as there is a home where the body was born, there is also a home where the soul was born.[1] Heaven is the home of the soul. The human body is born on this earth and then disappears, but the soul comes from God and returns to God.[2] The birth of the soul and that of the body do not take place at the same time. The soul was created in heaven before it came down to the earth and put on the flesh. From the records of Solomon and Job, some of the authors of the Old Testament, we can see that their souls already existed before the earth was created.[3][4][5] This is not only the case for Solomon and Job, but for everyone born on this earth. This world is like a temporary dwelling place[6] where the soul stays in the body for an average of 70–80 years and then leaves. David and Jacob also described themselves as foreigners and strangers on the earth.[7][8]

All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance. And they admitted that they were aliens and strangers on earth. People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own. If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return. Instead, they were longing for a better country—a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.

Hebrews 11:13–16


Just as animals have a homing instinct,[9][10] humans tend to have a longing for their hometown (e.g., homesickness, nostalgia). Mentioning the actions of those who were acknowledged by God as having faith, the Bible says that the forefathers of faith longed for the heavenly kingdom, the home of their souls.

Heavenly Mother and the Heavenly Family

When a person thinks of their hometown, many emotions come up because they think of their family. A family consists of a father, a mother, and children. The Bible tells us that there are family members in heaven just as there are members of a family on earth. According to the Bible, the earthly sanctuary is a copy and shadow of the heavenly sanctuary (Hebrews 8:5).[11] Through this, we can understand that the earthly family system is a copy and shadow of the heavenly family system.

Heavenly Father

The Bible says that we have human fathers and the Father of our spirits.

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!

Hebrews 12:9

Children of God

God is the Father of the soul, and the saints are His children.[12]

Heavenly Mother

If there is a father and children, this means that a mother should also exist. A father, a mother, and a child are in a systematically connected relationship, where the other titles cannot be used if even one of them does not exist. Likewise, if there was only the Father in heaven, there would be no reason to use family terms such as father, son, or daughter. If we have Heavenly Father, it means that we must have Heavenly Mother.

But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.

Galatians 4:26


The word “above” means the kingdom of heaven. The Bible tells us about the existence of Heavenly Mother, represented as Jerusalem. Just as we have physical mothers, our souls also have Heavenly Mother. The complete heavenly family is formed through the presence of Heavenly Father, the children of God, and Heavenly Mother. The kingdom of heaven is the home of our Heavenly Father, our Heavenly Mother, and our spiritual brothers and sisters.

Elohim and Heavenly Mother

Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance: 430. Elohim (Strong’s Concordance is a Bible concordance, an index of every word in the King James Version)

The Bible, which contains the history of the creation of the heavens and the earth, describes the scene of God making mankind. God created mankind in His own image. Since mankind was created in the image of God, through the end result, we can understand the image of God (Hebrew: צֶלֶם אֱלֹהִים, Latin: Imago Dei).

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

Genesis 1:27


As a result of making mankind in the image of God, male and female were created. This is the basis for the existence of the male image of God and the female image of God. The male image of God is Heavenly Father, and the female image is Heavenly Mother. Since there are Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother, mankind was created into two images, male and female. The verse right before this clearly states that there are two Gods.

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.”

Genesis 1:26


The Hebrew Bible describes God who created man as Elohim. The Hebrew words El (אֵל), Eloah (אֱלוֹהַּ), and Elohim (אֱלהִים) all mean God; but among them, Elohim is a plural noun, meaning Gods. In the same verse, God referred to Himself as “us.” Here, the plural first-person pronoun “us” is in the same context as the plural noun “Elohim,” which refers to Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother.

Heavenly Mother of Eternal Life

Mother gives birth to life.

Mother is a word that refers to a woman who gave birth to a child. The word mother includes the meaning of life. Of course, the role of a father is necessary for a life to be born, but the role of a mother is crucial. The eyes, nose, mouth, ears, and legs of every human being are formed in the womb of their mothers. Not only humans but also plants and various animals that live in the sky, the sea, and the fields are given life by their mothers. We are given life through our mothers. This reflects God’s profound will for the salvation of mankind.

“You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.”

Revelation 4:11

For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.

Romans 1:20


All things created by God’s will, contain God’s invisible power and divine nature. Since it is also written that what is on the earth is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven[11], through the providence of this earth where life is given through mothers, we can see that Heavenly Mother is the One who gives eternal life in the spiritual world, which is the reality. The reason God allowed only women to give birth to their children[13] is because eternal life is given by Heavenly Mother, who is represented as Eve. This is also why Adam gave his wife the name Eve, which means living.[14]

The Emergence of Heavenly Mother

Heavenly Father and Mother have worked together since the creation of the heavens and the earth; however, the existence of Heavenly Mother was not revealed from the beginning. For this reason, human beings have long adhered only to their faith in Heavenly Father. Heavenly Mother is prophesied to be made known to the world in the last days.

  • Six-Day Creation
The history of the six-day creation is a prophecy of the work of redemption of 6,000 years,[15][16][17] and the work of creating Eve on the last day of the six-day creation shows that Heavenly Mother, compared to Eve, will appear in the last days of the 6,000-year work of redemption. The book titled The Mystery of God and the Spring of the Water of Life (Prophecy of the Six-Day Creation) explains that the Spirit and the Bride will appear in the last days and lead the Gentiles to salvation.
  • Parable of the Wedding Banquet
In the parable of the wedding banquet, where the bridegroom refers to Jesus and the invited refers to the saints, the bride is not mentioned.[18] This is because in the time of Jesus, it was not the time for the bride to appear. The bride is mentioned in the book of Revelation, where it is written, “The wedding of the Lamb has come and his bride has made herself ready” (Revelation 19:7)[19]. In the book of Revelation, the Lamb refers to Second Coming Christ (Heavenly Father), and the Lamb’s bride refers to Heavenly Mother.[20][21] This is a prophecy that Heavenly Mother will appear in the age of the Holy Spirit when Jesus comes a second time.
  • Jesus’ Words
While teaching a crowd, Jesus told them when eternal life will be given. He emphasized this by repeatedly saying, “I will raise him up at the last day,” even four times (John 6:39, 40, 44, 54)[22][23][24][25]. Jesus is God who was able to give salvation immediately by saying, “Today you will be with Me in paradise” (Luke 23:43)[26]; however, He saved the work of giving eternal life for the last days. He did this to let us know that Heavenly Mother, the source of life, will appear in the last days.
