However, it is important to note that this interpretation is not supported by the broader context of the Bible. In Galatians 4, the apostle Paul is using the allegory of Sarah and Hagar to illustrate the difference between slavery under the law and freedom through faith in Christ. The mention of "Jerusalem" as a mother is symbolic of the heavenly city and the true believers in Christ, not a reference to a literal "god the mother." It is essential to interpret scripture in its proper context and not read into it something that is not there.
