The Bible begins with God’s six-day work of Creation. God created the heavens and the earth, the sun, the moon, the stars, animals, plants, and all other creatures with words. On the sixth day, God created man from the dust of the ground and the breath of life. On the last day of the Creation, the first man and woman, Adam and Eve, were made in the image of God.
When we study the truth of the Bible, we can see that the six-day Creation is not just a past history, but a prophecy about God’s work of redemption. In the “spiritual blueprint” that contains God’s plan of redemption, Adam and Eve, who appeared just before the seventh-day rest, represent the Spirit and the Bride, the Saviors who are to appear at the end of the work of redemption.
Prophecy of the Six-Day Creation
Those who have read the Bible from the beginning may have seen the record in Genesis 1, where it states that God created the heavens and the earth in six days. This is not just a past history, but a prophecy.
“I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say: My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.” Isa 46:10
If God had made known the end from the beginning and what is still to come from ancient times, He must have made known the end of His work of redemption from the beginning. Just as a blueprint is first made to construct a building, God first made a plan before carrying out His work of redemption. The spiritual blueprint of God’s plan is the six-day Creation recorded in Genesis 1.
God created the heavens and the earth for six days and He rested on the seventh day (Ge 2:2). However, even though God’s rest had already been in the beginning, He later said, “They shall never enter my rest,” after a long period of time had passed (Ps 95:11). Here, God’s rest was not written as a past history, but as a future event. Apostle Paul further explained, “It still remains that some will enter that rest,” and he said that they are the saints in the New Testament times.
And yet his work has been finished since the creation of the world. For somewhere he has spoken about the seventh day in these words: “And on the seventh day God rested from all his work.” And again in the passage above he says, “They shall never enter my rest.” It still remains that some will enter that rest, . . . Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest. Heb 4:3–6, 11
Here, “us” refers to the saints in the New Testament who are marching toward the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, the seventh-day rest, which came after the six-day Creation, is a prophecy about the rest that God’s people will enjoy in the kingdom of heaven.
Adam and Eve Created Just Before the Rest
In the history of the Creation, we can see that on the sixth day, God made livestock and all the animals, after which He created Adam and Eve last.
Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground.” Ge 1:24–28
God specifically made Adam and Eve in His own image and likeness, unlike all of the other creatures. God even gave Adam and Eve authority over all the animals. Whom did Adam and Eve represent when they appeared just before the rest on the seventh day?
Adam Represents God the Father
Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who was a pattern of the one to come. . . . For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many! Ro 5:14–15
Here, the “one to come” refers to Jesus who died on the cross to save mankind from the punishment of death because of Adam’s sin. Additionally, the Bible describes Jesus as the last Adam who will save mankind.
It is written: “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit. 1 Co 15:45
Thus, in the Bible, Adam represents Jesus, God the Father who came in the flesh (Isa 9:6). Then, in the prophecy of the six-day Creation, does Adam, who appeared on the last day just before the seventh-day rest, represent First Coming Jesus or Second Coming Jesus? When Jesus first came to the earth, it was 2,000 years ago. Prophetically, this cannot represent His coming just before the eternal rest, which is in the last days. Therefore, Adam, who appeared on the sixth day, must represent Jesus who comes a second time in the last days, just before the eternal rest. In this way, God foretold from the beginning that Jesus would appear a second time as the last Adam.
Eve Represents God the Mother
Adam, who was created in the image of God on the sixth day, represents Second Coming Jesus, God the Father who comes in the flesh in the last days. Eve, who was created in the image of God on the same day, represents God the Mother who comes in the flesh in the last days.
“Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready.” Rev 19:7
The Bible prophesies that the Bride of the Lamb will appear along with the Lamb in the last days. Here, the Lamb refers to Jesus (Jn 1:29); and more specifically, it refers to Second Coming Jesus because He appears with the Bride, unlike at His first coming. At His second coming, the Bride appears together with Jesus who comes a second time. In Revelation 22, Second Coming Jesus and His Bride are described as the Spirit and the Bride.
The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” Rev 22:17
The Spirit and the Bride appearing just before the eternal rest are the reality of Adam and Eve who were created just before the rest. Therefore, the Spirit and the Bride are the last Adam and the last Eve who appear in the last days. Then, who is the Bride, the last Eve?
One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.” And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God. Rev 21:9–10
An angel said to Apostle John that he would show him the Bride, the Wife of the Lamb, and then the angel showed him Jerusalem coming down out of heaven. This means that the Bride who appears in the last days is represented by the heavenly Jerusalem. In the Bible, the One who is represented by the heavenly Jerusalem is Heavenly Mother.
But the Jerusalem that is above (in heaven) is free, and she is our mother. Gal 4:26
The Bride, the Wife of the Lamb, is God the Mother who comes to the earth in the flesh in the last days with God the Father who is Second Coming Jesus. According to the prophecy of the six-day Creation, God the Father and God the Mother appear on this earth as the last Adam and the last Eve at the end of the 6,000-year work of redemption.
The Last Adam and Eve, the Spirit and the Bride
Some people deny the appearance of God the Mother, insisting that the Bride is the church, that is, the saints. However, through the prophecy of the six-day Creation, God revealed that the Spirit and the Bride, who are the last Adam and Eve, are the Saviors.
Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground.” Ge 1:26–28
God gave Adam and Eve the authority to subdue the earth and rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground. This means that Adam and Eve are the rulers over all the animals on the earth. We should pay attention to the fact that Eve is also a ruler, just as Adam is. This means that the Bride, who is the reality of Eve, is also the Savior just as the reality of Adam is Second Coming Jesus.
Prophetically, the animals under the rule of Adam and Eve represent all people in the world who will be saved (Ac 10:11–16, 28). God’s people, who will be led by the Spirit and the Bride, are likened to the animals that Adam and Eve ruled over. Therefore, the reality of Eve is not the saints who will be saved, but the Savior who leads the saints to salvation.
The Bride who appears in the last days is God the Mother who will save all people under the heavens. God’s people in this last age can receive eternal life only when they receive the last Adam and the last Eve, God the Father and God the Mother, meaning, the Spirit and the Bride who give the water of life.
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. Rev 22:17
