About eight centuries earlier, Jehovah had addressed this symbolic wife, saying: "All your sons will be persons taught by Jehovah." (Isaiah 5:4, 5, 13) Jesus quoted this prophecy and showed that these sons were his faithful followers, who later formed the congregation of anointed Christians. (John 6:44, 45) So members of this congregation, spoken of as God's wives, are also children of God's symbolic wife. (Romans 8:14) The apostle Paul adds the final peace of information when he says:"The Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother." (Galatians 4:26) The "woman" seen by John, then, is "the Jerusalem above."
