Solomon's Judgment and Mother
Our heavenly Mother is the true Mother in this age.
Only our God the Mother can give us spiritual life.
The Bible testifies about God; it testifies of Elohim [Gods]―God the Father and God the Mother. The 66 books of the Bible consistently speak not only the truth about God the Father but also the truth about God the Mother, through the relationship between Adam and Eve, the history of Abraham's Family, the prophecy of the New Jerusalem, and so on.
To know Christ as the Father and Mother is the greatest mystery of the Bible. The god of this world [the devil] has blinded people's minds, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ (2 Co 4:4).
Only those who are redeemed through the blood of Christ can receive wisdom and understanding from God and realize the mystery of God.
Solomon's wise judgment
Solomon is known as the wisest man in the world. He was the son of King David and the third king of Israel. He was famous for his wisdom; people from all nations came to hear his wisdom.
The Bible records that Solomon was given wisdom by God. He offered a thousand burnt offerings and prayed earnestly, and God appeared to him in a dream. Then he asked God for wisdom and understanding to discern justice. There continuously arose many disputes among his people; so he asked for wisdom to become a fair judge as their king, that he might discern right and wrong and none of them would suffer the injustice of being subject to a bad judgment.
God granted him not only the wisdom, but also the riches and honor which he did not ask for. King Solomon surpassed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom. God's wisdom was reflected in Solomon's decision. Among all his judicial decisions, the Bible precisely records only one case in which he discovered who the true mother was.
1 Ki 3:16-28 『. . . One of them said, "My lord, this woman and I live in the same house . . . The third day after my child was born, this woman also had a baby. We were alone; there was no one in the house but the two of us. During the night this woman's son died because she lay on him . . . So she got up in the middle of the night and took my son from my side while I your servant was asleep. She put him by her breast and put her dead son by my breast. The next morning, I got up to nurse my son―and he was dead! But when I looked at him closely in the morning light, I saw that it wasn't the son I had borne." The other woman said, "No! The living one is my son; the dead one is yours." But the first one insisted, "No! The dead one is yours; the living one is mine." And so they argued before the king. The king said, ". . . Bring me a sword." So they brought a sword for the king. He then gave an order: "Cut the living child in two and give half to one and half to the other." The woman whose son was alive was filled with compassion for her son and said to the king, "Please, my lord, give her the living baby! Don't kill him!" But the other said, "Neither I nor you shall have him. Cut him in two!" Then the king gave his ruling: "Give the living baby to the first woman. Do not kill him; she is his mother." When all Israel heard the verdict the king had given, they held the king in awe, because they saw that he had wisdom from God to administer justice.』
There was no witness, and the two women in dispute over one living baby appealed to Solomon for justice, each claiming to be the birth mother of the living child. Solomon discovered the true mother of the baby by her love for her child, and returned the living son to her.
In Solomon's judgment, we find out that his God-given wisdom enabled him to discern the true mother. The Bible testifies of God, and everything that was written in the past was written to teach us (Jn 5:39; Ro 15:4). The story of Solomon's judgment between the two mothers was not written to admire his wisdom, but to testify of God and teach us something spiritual.
God's wisdom manifested in Solomon's judgment
God gave wisdom to Solomon, that he could recognize who the true mother was and gave the real mother back her child. Likewise, God in His wisdom has made known to us the heavenly Mother. We have received our heavenly Mother; like Solomon, we should help the poor souls wandering aimlessly around the world and let them know who the true Mother is.
Gal 4:26-31 『But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother. For it is written: "Be glad, O barren woman, who bears no children; break forth and cry aloud, you who have no labor pains; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband." Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise. At that time the son born in the ordinary way persecuted the son born by the power of the Spirit. It is the same now. But what does the Scripture say? "Get rid of the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman's son will never share in the inheritance with the free woman's son." Therefore, brothers, we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman.』
The Bible clearly tells us that there is our spiritual Mother above (in heaven). We were angels in heaven, but our sins separated us from our Mother and caused us to be cast down to the earth. Because of the sins we had committed in heaven, we lost our memory and couldn't remember our Mother.
Our sins caused our Mother to come from heaven to this earth (Isa 50:1). The Apostle John saw in a vision the new Jerusalem, the Bride of the Lamb, coming down out of heaven. "More are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband." This prophecy implies that our Mother raises Her children alone here on earth after our Father went up to heaven but She has even more children than any woman who has a husband.
The evil one teaches that Mother does not exist
The Bible clearly reveals the existence of the spiritual Mother. However, our wicked enemy the devil has been deceiving all people for thousands of years into believing that Mother does not exist. He teaches lies and people foolishly believe them. In Revelation, we can see that the devil deceives all people living on the earth.
Rev 13:6-15 『He opened his mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven. He was given power to make war against the saints and to conquer them . . . Because of the signs he was given power to do on behalf of the first beast, he deceived the inhabitants of the earth . . .』
The devil is the deceiver of deceivers. When he tempted Eve in the Garden of Eden, he wickedly perverted God's word and deceived her into following his way. And now he is deceiving the inhabitants of the earth into believing that Mother does not exist.
It is clearly recorded in the Bible, "our Mother," so that everybody can easily see. Nevertheless, most people deny the existence of Mother and reject Her. It is because they are spiritually deceived by Satan. Once they are tempted, although we show them clear and convincing evidence that Mother exists, they would not accept it.
1 Jn 5:18-19 『We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the one who was born of God keeps him safe, and the evil one cannot harm him. We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one.』
We belong to God, but the whole world is under the rule of the evil one. The devil, the wicked one, makes up many lies and teaches them. One of them is that God the Mother does not exist. The whole world has been deceived by his false teaching.
Think of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Eating the fruit of the tree would result in death. However, when Adam and Eve looked at the fruit after being tempted by Satan, it looked good for food, pleasant to the eyes and also desirable to make one wise. Being deceived, they lost the ability to discern between good and evil.
Biblical testimonies to our heavenly Mother
We need to receive wisdom from God like Solomon, in order that we may discern our true Mother. Through the history of Creation in six days, we can clearly find our Father and our Mother as well, the Creators.
Ge 1:26-27 『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." So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.』
God created man in His own image, then male and female were created in the image of God. This proves that there is the female image of God as well as the male image of God. We call the male image of God "Father." What should we call the female image of God?
When God created man, He said, "Let us make man." It is Elohim [God the Father and God the Mother] who said, "Let us . . ." here.
The devil knows well that if our spiritual eyes are opened to recognize our Mother, his world will be destroyed soon. So what he fears the most is that the glory of our Mother is revealed. Eve was to be the serpent's enemy as described in Genesis.
Ge 3:14-15 『So the Lord God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, "Cursed are you above all the livestock and all the wild animals! You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life. And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel."』
There is an enmity between the serpent and the woman, the devil and the Mother. God put enmity between them in order to reveal the heavenly Mother to us.
The ancient serpent, the devil, is basically the enemy of our Mother and also the enemy of ours. If those on Mother's side become strong, those on Satan's side naturally become weak. The serpent crushes our heel, but we shall crush his head and finally win the victory over him. While crushing the head is fatal, striking the heel will not cause death.
Under the Old Law, he who did not obey his father and mother was considered evil and put to death (Dt 21:18-21). God's laws given in the Old Testament were only a shadow of the heavenly things. The law in Deuteronomy 21 shows that if one does not obey the spiritual Father and Mother, he will not enter into eternal life but go into destruction.
Unless we find our Mother, we become spiritually orphaned. Satan, who knows this, has deceived the world into believing that there is no Mother.
So the people cannot even imagine that God the Mother exists, calling God, "Father, Father." However, we belong to God; our Father has made known to us our heavenly Mother and brought us into Her arms. We truly give thanks to our Father for this.
Divine providence revealed by the sun and moon and stars
God's existence is evident to us through nature which He created. We can confirm the existence of our heavenly Mother through the sun, the moon and stars.
Ge 37:9-10 『Then he had another dream, and he told it to his brothers. "Listen," he said, "I had another dream, and this time the sun and moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me." When he told his father as well as his brothers, his father rebuked him and said, "What is this dream you had? Will your mother and I and your brothers actually come and bow down to the ground before you?"』
Joseph, the eleventh son of Jacob, had a dream in which the sun and moon and eleven stars bowed down to him. When he told the dream to his family, his father scolded him, saying, "Will I and your mother and brothers bow down to you?" Why did Jacob interpret the sun, moon and the stars as symbolical of his household?
This is not just a dream. Through Joseph's dream and its interpretation, God has made known to us our heavenly family relationship: our Father represented by the sun, our Mother by the moon, and we the children by the stars. When the Apostle Paul wrote to the churches in Corinth, he explained that the sun has its own glory, the moon another glory, and the stars a different glory.
1 Co 15:38-41 『But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own body. All flesh is not the same: Men have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another and fish another. There are also heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies; but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is another. The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.』
The above verses say that there are many stars, and that one star differs from another in glory; the sun or the moon is not mentioned to be many. As it is written in Da 12:3 that "those who lead many to righteousness will shine like the stars for ever and ever," God's children are compared to the stars. So the sun represents the Father, the moon the Mother, and the stars the children.
God's invisible power and divine nature are reflected in all things (Ro 1:20). Nature created by God serves as a textbook that teaches us God's providence. In the daytime, when the sun shines, the moon and stars do not appear. However, when the sun is sinking behind the western hills, then the moon appears, accompanied by the stars.
God said that He would give us, His children, honor and praise among all the peoples of the earth in the last days (Zep 3:18-20). For this, the Father's ministry of the gospel must be completed and our Mother has to appear. So the Father accomplished His ministry of 37 years according to the prophecy of King David, and then the glory of the Mother along with ours began to appear. Without Mother, we cannot reach eternal salvation, nor can we share in the heavenly glory. To prevent people from realizing that, the devil blinds their eyes, stops their ears and hardens their hearts.
Let us be like Solomon
Jesus spoke the following phrase: ". . . as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings . . . ." At a hen's clucking, not a rooster's crow, chicks gather. Likewise, at Mother's loving voice, the children of heaven, scattered throughout the world, return to Her.
Mother cries out, "Do no harm to My children," enduring heartbreaking pain. Mother's earnest cry will be a message of life that awakens the spirits of the children deceived by Satan.
We shall be joyful always, for our heavenly Mother is with us. With a firm faith in Mother's existence, we the children of Zion shall stand up against the evil tricks of the devil who tries to blind our minds so that we cannot realize Mother. Let's all be like Solomon and help our brothers and sisters, who are wandering around like orphans all over the world, to know our Mother and meet Her.
Col 3:1 『Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.』
God's children must find the Jerusalem that is above, the heavenly Mother. The devil our wicked enemy slanders us and entices us with lies so that we will not know the existence of Mother. However, we belong to God, our Father and Mother.
Children of Zion! Let's not forget the love and grace of our heavenly Father and Mother who have come to save us. We are obligated to preach the good news to the ends of the earth. Like Solomon, let us lead our brothers and sisters, scattered among all nations, into the loving arms of our heavenly Mother, who always cares about the lives of Her children. Let them hear our Mother's earnest voice!
