The matter interpreting the bride in Revelation as Heavenly Mother and church is so crucial that we cannot overlook. Christ AhnSahngHong in church of God world mission society
The goal of faith is the salvation of our soul, which means our spiritual life according to Peter the apostle. Here, the faith means showing his belief with action. Generally the people in faith goes to church every week to keep his promise with God. And we call the people's gathering church. Christ AhnSahngHong in church of God world mission society
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. Christ Ahn Sahng Hong in church of God world mission society
As above, we can see the Spirit and the bride give us the water of life. Who can give us the water of life? Only God can give us eternal life. Then, who are they(the Spirit and the bride)??
They are our God. I have seen someone says the bride means church. I do not agree with them since church is the reciever of God's gift, not God who give it to us. Of course, I am aware that in the Bible woman represents church according to chapter 1, 1 Peter. But there are words which are used as two different meanings in the Bible. For example, "lamb" is interpreted as Jesus and as God's people.:

Jn 1:36
When he saw Jesus passing by, he said, "Look, the Lamb of God!"

Lk 10:1~3
After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go.
He told them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.
Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves.

If we mis interpret all the lamb in the Bible as God's people, we commit a fault. In the same way, we have to admit the bride is our God, the heavenly mother.

Ge 1:26
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 is the first and the last , Genesis and Revelation, the creator God as our Father and Mother.
