A famine of hearing the words of God ( God the Mother, Heavenly Mother )

God(Christ Ahsahnghong) said that there is our God the Mother(Heavenly Mother) in heaven. Let’s find out about Heavenly Jerusalem Mother ( God the Mother )through the Bible in World Mission Soceity Church of God.

In the Old Testament, the prophet Amos prophesied that there would be a famine of hearing the words of God throughout the world.

Am 8:11-13『"The days are coming," declares the Sovereign Lord, "when I will send a famine through the land?not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the Lord. Men will stagger from sea to sea and wander from north to east, searching for the word of the Lord, but they will not find it. In that day the lovely young women and strong young men will faint because of thirst."』

Famine is a disaster caused when there is no water. All living creatures in the world can't live without water.
God's word is spiritual living water to give mankind eternal life and salvation. This famine of hearing the words of God has come upon the whole earth. Only God can relieve the famine. It is not a thirst for actual water. Since people do not receive Christ, who has come to give them the water of life, and do not accept His words, a spiritual famine has come upon them.
Many wander about, seeking living water, but they fail to find it because they do not recognize God, the "spring of living water" (Jer 2:13). Whoever recognizes and receives God will never thirst or hunger. God freely gives mankind the water of life.

Rev 21:4-6『He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away. He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true." He said to me: "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life."』

Rev 22:17『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.』

God is the only one who can give us the water of life. At the end of the Book of Revelation written by the Apostle John, God appears as the Spirit and the Bride and calls mankind to come to take the water of life.
In the light of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit is God Almighty, our Father. Then, who is the Bride that has come together with the Spirit and gives the water of life? We live in an age of spiritual famine; our desperate task is to seek the Spirit and the Bride who give us the water of life, as a traveler finds water in the desert.

If you knew who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him for living water
If we know God who gives us living water, we can come to Him and ask for living water. Jesus, who came to this earth to give us living water 2,000 years ago, emphasized this fact when He talked to a Samaritan woman whom He met at a well.

Jn 4:5-15『So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar . . . When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, "Will you give me a drink?" . . . The Samaritan woman said to him, "You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?" (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.) Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water." "Sir," the woman said, "you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? . . ." Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water so that I won't get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water." 』

At first, the Samaritan woman misunderstood what Jesus said because she took His words just literally?from a physical point of view. Nowadays, whenever we turn on the tap, water comes out. But in the past, people had to draw water from a well outside, far away from their houses. The Samaritan woman wanted to save herself the trouble of drawing water from the well, and when Jesus said He would give her living water and whoever drank the water would never thirst, she thought it was physical water and asked for it. However, after talking with Jesus some more, she came to realize that Jesus is the Christ who gives living water, and was amazed. Then she left her water jar and ran back to the people in her village and told them about Jesus (Jn 4:16-30).
This is the main point of the passage in Jesus' words: "If you knew who it is that asks you for a drink . . ." In those days, most of the Jews didn't know that Jesus was God Himself, the spring of living water, and they rejected Him. If they knew who Jesus was, they would have asked Him for living water. However, they didn't accept Jesus as God because He came as a man. Jesus was born into a poor carpenter's family, and it was at the young age of thirty that He appeared to them. To the Jews, Jesus seemed too ordinary, no different than them; they didn't find anything honorable about Him. So, they crucified Jesus, ridiculing Him with all kinds of insults.
However, the saints, who recognized who Jesus was through His words of eternal life and received Him like the Samaritan woman, were able to drink living water and never experienced spiritual thirst again.
