Mother in Heaven is someone we haven’t heard much about—though we know She is there—but perhaps it is because we haven’t had the eyes to see Her in the symbolism so often used in the scriptures. Jessica Weggersen, a recent BYU graduate who studied ancient Near Eastern studies with an emphasis in the Hebrew Bible, decided she wanted to share her insights into the Hebrew Bible and how they have helped her to see Heavenly Mother in the text. Her words are profound as she not only outlines historical context but what the symbols may entail about our Mother’s presence in some of the most important moments in the scriptures.

I remember comments that while on earth it is not her mission to comfort, teach or be involved while here in our earth life. We are in a wicked world, to expose her to the vileness and evil would be wrong. Her mission is different, we are not to pray to her, she's for a different time and place, that's the way I understand it. Just think of the curse words used for God, Jesus and any holy figure. She's too holy for exposure in any way.

Love, loved LOVED THIS! Beautifully spoken. I yearn to know my Heavenly Mother, and think this young lady is pretty insightful. Why we do not yet know her like our Father I do not know, but reject many of the reasons offered as "Church culture." We will one day know, yes, but I so hope for sooner than later. This is a topic I liken to putting into a box, waiting for further light and knowledge, and concentrating on what I do know, for now.
