Abrahams family and Mother

The character Abraham used to represent God in the Bible. Through the story of Abrahams family, God has revealed to us how we can inherit the kingdom of heaven. Isaac was the one who received Abrahams inheritance. Even though Abraham has another son Ishmael, born through Hagar, God did not allow Ishmael to receive the inheritance of Abraham. Rather, God bestowed the inheritance upon Isaac, who was born through Sarah, who was free. This history shows us the heavenly inheritance will be given to those who are born of the heavenly Mother, who is free. Christ Ahnsahnghong taught us that our heavenly Mother does in fact exist and that She is truly the biggest mystery hidden within the Bible.

Abraham represents God

First off all, we need to recognize who the character Abraham represents in the Bible.

Luke 16:19-31 The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abrahams side. The rich man also died and was buried. In hell, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. So he called to him, Father Abraham
As you know, this parable is about a beggar, named Lazarus, and a rich man. The parable tells of Lazarus, who died and was carried to heaven, and a rich man, who was sent to hell to be tormented. Lazarus was obviously carried to Gods side after he died; however, the Bible states that Lazarus traveled to Abrahams side. In the parable, the rich man, who went to hell, called up to God in the distance; however, the Bible states that the man saw Abraham, and called up to him, saying, Father Abraham. Who is the only one who is worthy to be called Father in the spiritual world? God is the only one who can be called upon this way. Then, whom does Abraham represent? Logically, the character Abraham was chosen to represent God. Therefore, the inheritance of Abraham can be likened to the inheritance of God, the kingdom of heaven.

Isaac, the Heir of Abraham

Then, let us find out who was appointed as Abrahams heir. There were three candidates who could have been chosen as the heir of Abraham: Eliezer, Ishmael, and Isaac. Among them, who became Abrahams heir? It was Isaac who was appointed. We need to understand the reason why Isaac was chosen to be Abrahams heir.

Genesis 15:1-4 But Abraham said, O Sovereign Lord, what can you give me since I remain childless and the one who will inherit my estate is Eliezer of Damascus? And Abraham said, You have given me no children; so a servant in my household would be my heir. Then the word of the Lord came to him: This man will not be your heir, but a son coming from your own body will be your heir.
When Abraham was an old man and had not yet borne a son, he asked God to allow his servant Eliezer to be his heir. However, God did not allow Eliezer to become Abrahams heir, revealing that a son would be born from Abrahams own body and that he would become his heir. Some time later, Hagar, Sarahs maidservant, bore Abraham a son: Ishmael.

Genesis 16:1-15 Now Sarai, Abrams wife, had borne him no children. But she had an Egyptian maidservant named Hagar; so she said to Abram, The Lord has kept me from having children. Go, sleep with my maidservant; perhaps I can build a family through her. Abram agreed to what Sarai said So Hagar bore Abram a son, and Abram gave the name Ishmael to the son she had borne.
Ishmael was born to Abraham through a maidservant named Hagar, and Abraham asked God to allow Ishmael to become his heir.

Genesis 17:18-19 and Abraham said to God, If only Ishmael might live under your blessing! then God said, Yes, but your wife Sarah will bear you a son, and you will call him Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him.
When Abraham said to God, If only Ishmael might live under your blessing, God did not allow Ishmael to become his heir. Instead, God promised Abraham that he would have a son through his wife, Sarah. Isaac was born as God has promised, and of the three Eliezer, Ishmael, and Isaac Isaac was chosen to be Abrahams heir.

The Key Factor in Deciding an Heir Is Mother

Lets study the reason why God chose Isaac to be Abrahams heir. Both Eliezers father and mother were slaves, neither of them was free. This is the reason why God did not allow him to be Abrahams heir. Ishmaels father, Abraham, was free, but his mother, Hagar, was a slave and not a free woman. This is why God did not allow Ishmael to become Abrahams heir. Isaacs father, Abraham, was free man, and his mother, Sarah, was a free woman. The fact that Isaac had been born of a free woman was the big difference between Ishmael and Isaac, and this discrepancy became the key factor in choosing Abrahams heir. In those days, the eldest son inherited all his familys property. Since Ishmael was older than Isaac, he should have become the heir that is, If God had made His decision according to the paternal line. Ishmael was not chosen to become Abrahams heir, even though he was Abrahams eldest son, because his mother was not a free woman, but a slave. Thus, it is clear that the decisive factor in choosing Abrahams heir was his mother. What we need to focus on while studying the history of Abrahams family is not merely the story of a man and his family. As you know, the Bible is not a storybook to tell us of men and their families. Nevertheless, God repeatedly mentioned the story of this particular family. Actually, the history of Abraham was a shadow of what was to happen in the future, In order for us to know who could become Gods heir; the story of Abrahams family was written, as a prophecy. Therefore, through the history of Abrahams family, we can clearly understand that the decisive factor in choosing an heir is the mother. As Isaac became Abrahams heir through Sarah, his free mother, we can become Gods heir through our heavenly Mother, who is a free woman. Only those who believe in heavenly Mother only the children who are born through the new covenant can inherit heavenly Fathers kingdom. Let us read one more verse testifying about the heavenly Mother.

Galatians 4:22-31 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise. At that time the son born in the ordinary way persecuted the son born by the power of the Spirit. It is the same now. But what was the Scripture say? Get rid of the slave woman and her son, for the slave womans son will never share in the inheritance of the free womans son. Therefore, brothers, we are not children of slave woman, but of the free woman.
The Bible declares that we are not children of a slave woman, but of the free woman. Ishmael could not inherit his fathers estate because of his mother, Hagar, was only a slave, not a free woman. On the other hand, Isaac was chosen to become Abrahams heir because his mother, Sarah, was a free woman. The Bible also testifies that we, like Isaac, are the children of promise, the children of the heavenly Mother, who is free. In todays world, there are three types of people: those who were like Eliezer, those like Ishmael, and those who are like Isaac. The first type of people, who are like Eliezer, are atheists, who do not believe in Father God or in Mother God. The second type of people, who are like Ishmael, are those who believe in Father God, but do not believe in Mother God. The third typeof people, who are like Isaac, are those who believe in Mother God as well as Father God. According to the history of Abrahams family, which one of these three types can be an heir of the kingdom of heaven? Only the third type of people, who are like Isaac, can be recognized as Gods heirs. There is no doubt about it. Which group of people do you want to be classified with? If you want to become Isaac, you must first become a child of the free woman. Thus, you must accept the heavenly Mother, who is free. The Bible testifies to this fact. God said, My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6). What kind of knowledge is God referring to this verse? We must recognize that we have God the Mother, as well as God the Father. We must accept God Elohim. Also, we must firmly believe that God is our Mother, who gives us salvation alongside our Father. Only after we come to realize this can we say that we have the knowledge of God, and that he will not be those who are destroyed from a lack of knowledge.
