Elohim God
The term Elohim, used more than 2,500 times in the Old Testament, refers to God in the original Hebrew Bible. The plural word, directly translating to Gods, reveals God’s true nature during the creation of mankind in Genesis.
“Then God said, ‘Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness’… So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.”
God used plural terms, indicating the existence of more than one God. If God were singular, He would have spoken using “Me” and “My.” Human beings reflect the images of God: male and female. The male image of God is God the Father; the female image of God is God the Mother.
Jesus alluded to the existence of God the Mother through the Lord’s prayer.
“‘Our Father in heaven’”
Jesus emphasized calling God “our Father” to reveal our relationship to Elohim. Since God is our Father, we must be the children of God. For there to be a father and children, a mother must be present as well. This teaches us that should not only have God the Father but also God the Mother—Elohim.
We must know Elohim since Elohim can give us eternal life.
“The Spirit and the bride say, ‘Come!’ … Let the one who is thirst come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.”
Revelation 22:17
Elohim make another appearance at the conclusion of the Bible to offer eternal life. Here, Elohim is written as the Spirit (God the Father according to the Trinity) and the Bride (God the Mother, Rev 21:9–10, Gal 4:26).
