The Spring of the Water of Life #3
[Ahnsahnghong, God the Mother, heavenly Mother, World Mission Society Church of God]

In order to give the everlasting water of life to mortal beings, God came down to this earth in this last age as the Holy Spirit, Ahnsahnghong, and the Bride, the New Jerusalem Mother.

Jerusalem Mother who gives us the water of life

The Bible teaches us that the spring of the water of life is the heavenly Jerusalem, our Mother. Still, there are people who refuse to come to Jerusalem. To such people, the Bible gives a warning as follows:

Zec 14:16-19  『Then the survivors from all the nations that have attacked Jerusalem will go up year after year to worship the King, the Lord Almighty, and to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles. If any of the peoples of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord Almighty, they will have no rain . . . The Lord will bring on them the plague he inflicts on the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles . . .』

The Bible says that those who do not go up to Jerusalem will have no rain. This means that those who do not believe in Jerusalem Mother and do not come into Her arms will never quench their spiritual thirst.

The water of life quenches our thirst, and it also becomes a spring of water welling up to eternal life (Jn 4:14). In order to go back to heaven, we must get eternal life. Christ eagerly wanted to give us this living water so that we might have life, at His first coming.

Jn 7:2, 14, 37-39  『But when the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles was near . . . Not until halfway through the Feast . . . On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him." By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive . . .』

Jesus presents a definite condition to receive the living water by saying, "Whoever believes in me . . ." Whoever does not believe will never be able to drink the water of life. We should first have faith in the One who gives us the water of life so that streams of living water will flow from within us. Just as Jesus Christ shouted out 2,000 years ago, the Spirit and the Bride are now shouting aloud, "Whoever is thirsty, let him come and take the water of life."

Rev 22:17  『The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let him who hears say, "Come!" Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life.』

Streams of living water will flow from within those who believe in the Spirit and the Bride, the Second Coming Jesus and His spiritual Bride—the heavenly Mother, as Jesus said, "Whoever believes in me, streams of living water will flow from within him." No one can drink the water of life unless he receives Mother and comes to Zion where Mother dwells.

We should be proud of the fact that Jerusalem our Mother, who is the spring of the water of life, lives with us. The Bible clearly prophesies that Babylon will fall in the end, no matter how great it is. Farmers are never pleased with weeds no matter how prosperous they are. Even the prosperous weeds cannot but wither and die without water. Here, we need to think of why God made every living creature unable to live without water.

In Zion, however, a little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation (Isa 60:22). For God the Father, our Shepherd, and Jerusalem Mother, the spring of the water of life, are with us and grant us such great blessing. Even though we are a "little flock," who have entered through the narrow gate, our future will be so prosperous because Jerusalem our Mother, who is the source of life—the spring of the water of life, dwells with us.
