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).<ref name="모형과 그림자">{{ Cite web |url=https://www. | When a person thinks of their hometown, many emotions come up because they think of their family.

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. | If there is a father and children, this means that a mother should also exist.

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. | The word “above” means the kingdom of heaven.

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.

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. | As a result of making mankind in the image of God, male and female were created.

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. | The Hebrew Bible describes God who created man as ''Elohim''.

''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. | ''Mother'' is a word that refers to a woman who gave birth to a child. The word ''mother'' includes the meaning of life.
