Longing for Heavenly Mother

To know the secrets of God in the bible is an amazing thing. Now, to feel the love of God that's hidden in the scriptures, that is a whole nother thing. The truth is, children of God love God so much and they miss their heavenly parents. As a child longs for his mother when he hasn't seen her in a while, so we long for our heavenly Mother all the more when we learn of her existence. Apostle Paul wrote:

2 Corinthians 5:2 "Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling"

2 Corinthians 5:4 "For while we are in this tent, we groan and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life."

Apostle Paul was longing to be clothed with the heavenly dwelling. He did not want to be in this earth or in this body but rather he mentions again and again how he wishes he could be clothed with his heavenly dwelling. But now understand, what is the heavenly dwelling he was speaking of? This answer must be in the bible, as it is written:

Revelation 21:2-3 "I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride...And I heard a voice from the throne saying, 'Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them..."

According to Apostle John who wrote the revelation, he saw the Holy City Jerusalem coming down out of heaven to this earth, and, once that happened, the voice came saying "Now the dwelling of God is with men". Once heavenly Jerusalem comes down, the dwelling of God is with men. Meaning, the heavenly dwelling is in reality the heavenly Jerusalem that would come from heaven. And according to Galatians 4:26, you already know, "Jerusalem above...she is our Mother." Even 2,000 years ago, Paul longed to be clothed with the heavenly dwelling, our heavenly Mother! Through the scriptures we can find out, the saints miss their Mother so much. It is a beautiful love story for God and his children.

Thanks be to God for allowing this prophecy to be fulfilled, "Now the dwelling of God is with men."
