God described Himself as “us.” When humankind was created in the image and likeness of God, male and female were made. This means that in the image of God, there exist a male image and a female image.
God described Himself as “us.” When mankind was created in the image and likeness of God, male and female were made. This means that in the image of God, there exist a male image and a female image.


Some people argue that “us” represents the Trinity: [[God the Father (Jehovah)|the Father]], [[God the Son (Jesus)|the Son]], and [[the Holy Spirit]]. According to their insistence, this means that one of the three should have a female image. It is because those who were created in the image of God are male and female. Others also insist that the triune God exists as three separate entities (or persons). If this were the case, three kinds of people should have been created. However, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are one which is the male image of God in the light of the [[Trinity]]. Therefore, God who created the heavens and the earth and created man in “our” image exists as two: the male image of God and the female image of God.<br>

The Old Testament that was written in Hebrew records God as ''[[Elohim]] (אֱלֹהִים)'' about 2,500 times. In Genesis, God who created the heavens and the earth and humankind referred to as ''Elohim''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://biblehub.com/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm|title=Genesis 1:1|website=Bible Hub|quote=בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית בָּרָ֣א אֱלֹהִ֑ים אֵ֥ת הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם וְאֵ֥ת הָאָֽרֶץ}}</ref> In Hebrew, the singular term meaning ''God'' is ''[[Eloah]] (אֱלוֹהַּ)''. When the suffix ''-im (ים)'' is added to ''Eloah'', it becomes the plural term ''Elohim'', which means ''Gods''. This means that God is not one, but more than one.

This is a prophecy that the Spirit and the Bride will appear to give the water of life in the last days. Because the Trinity means that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are one, the Spirit is God the Father; therefore, the Bride of the Spirit is God the Mother. The purpose of God the Father and God the Mother's coming is to give humankind the water of life, which leads to eternal life.
