As Adam represents Christ, God the Father, his wife, Eve (Hawwāh), represents God the Mother. The name ''Eve'' means ''life'', and she was called the “mother of all the living.” This cannot be looked at in a literal sense because Eve did not give physical life to all people.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Genesis+3%3A20+&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Genesis 3:20 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref> This is a prophecy that God’s children will receive eternal life from God the Mother represented as the last Eve.<br>
