Let me say there are so many scriptures that reference our heavenly mother but through all the teachings (doctrine of devils/traditions of men) we have not been able to see her. Let me explain, the Hebrew word for Mother is AM/EM. God the Father is the I and God the Mother is the AM in the words (I am). When doing my research on the word mother. I found this according to an article on the Living word3d website, “Aleph is the first letter in the Hebrew Aleph-Bet and the literal picture is that of an OX. The meaning would have been clear to the ancient Hebrew; as the Ox was the symbol of both position, strength and leadership. The Ox leads the cows and calves in its herd to safe pastures and protects them from predators. Mem is the thirteenth letter in the Hebrew Aleph-Bet. The ancient Hebrew picture is that of waves of water and can either mean life-giving waters, or chaotic, destructive waters. When you place these two letters together, you have the First or Strong Water-Giver. The Mother is the first one to give life. Think about the birthing process for a moment. A child grows and develops in the water held in the womb of the mother. Life is in this water, and many necessary compounds such as proteins and carbohydrates are absorbed by the child during development. Without these, the child would not grow, and would eventually die. The mother provides life-giving water to the new child, and even after birth this process continues as the child is nursed with the mother's milk.”

· Rev. 21:2~4 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride (Mother) beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”
Remember that Male and female were created in the image of God. How could that be if Heavenly Mother was not a part of the process? In my own study of words in the scriptures, I found a translation of “Elohim,” often written as “God” or “Lord God” that fundamentally changed how I read scriptures. Now, whenever I read those titles, I understand the meaning of “God” as our Heavenly Mother and Father united in purpose and working together to bring about our eternal exaltation, to mold us into gods and goddesses. I know our Heavenly Mother can be found in every book of scripture. I have seen Her. I have felt Her. And I know you can, too, if you have “eyes to see and ears to hear.”
