Some people say that God's image is not male and female because Eve was created by the rib of Adam. Such people show that they do not know the scriptures or the power of God (Matt. 22:29).
Just as the first man Adam testifies to the 2nd COming Christ (
Rom. 5:14,
2 Cor. 15:45-47), so also the creation of Eve testifies to the existence of Mother. How important is Eve?
Gen. 2:18 'The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone.
I will make a helper suitable for him."
19 Now the LORD God had formed out of the ground all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name.
20 So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field.
But for Adam no suitable helper was found.'
Although God made all of the animals, there was no helper suitable for Adam himself.
But what does any man need help with? (Reproduction). Since Adam could not reproduce another life, what did God do?
Gen. 2:21 'So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and
while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs and closed up the place with flesh.
22 Then the LORD
God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.'
23 The man said,
"This is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called 'woman,'
for she was taken out of man."
24 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.
God could have created the woman the same way as man but would we then see how important the woman was?
Because of her, life can be given. Actually, the whole Bible testifies to the Christ.
Do you know what the prophetic meaning of sleep is in the Bible?John 11:
11 'After he had said this, he went on to tell them, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going there to wake him up."
12 His disciples replied, "Lord, if he sleeps, he will get better."
13 Jesus had been speaking of his death, but his disciples thought he meant natural sleep.
14 So then he told them plainly, "Lazarus is dead..."'
So then sleep prophetically means death.Since Adam testifies to the 2nd Coming Christ, and as Christ Ahnsahnghong (the 2nd Coming Christ, prophetically fulfilled the throne of King David,
it should be after Christ Ahnsahnghong ascends t0 heaven that Mother Jerusalem should be revealed as the Last Eve. This is just as the woman (Eve) was brought about while Adam was sleeping. Actually, the whole Bible testifies to the Christ (John 5:39). Without studying from the 2nd Coming Christ we make so many mistakes, even the fact that the Christ has two images! (2 Cor. 4:4)
Just as the woman was necessary for the reproduction of life, so Our Mother Jerusalem is essential for Our eternal life. (Gen. 3:20)
