Paul mentioned the collection in Romans, listing only Macedonia and Achaia as contributing, to the obvious exclusion of the Galatians, so it seems likely that the Galatians did not contribute. This does not necessarily reflect on their willingness to do so, because the eastern Empire was probably most severely hit by the Great Famine and they may simply have been unable to assist their fellow-Christians in Jerusalem.

Why did Paul go to Jerusalem after several years?
In his Epistle to the Galatians, Paul said that after his conversion, he travelled to Arabia, then Damascus (bypassing Jerusalem), Jerusalem, then Syria and Cilicia, and then, after a period of fourteen years, back to Jerusalem (Galatians 1:17-2:1).Paul's second visit to Jerusalem was so that he could communicate, to the leaders of the Jerusalem church, the gospel that he was preaching among the gentiles. He says he communicated this privately to the men of reputation in Jerusalem so that he should not run in vain, perhaps meaning that he wished to avoid a public disagreement over doctrine.
What happened after Paul wrote the letter to the Galatians?
AnswerPart of the reason for Paul's Epistle to the Galatians seems to be to seek money for the poor in Jerusalem, possibly during the Great Famine of 44-48 CE. At the same time, Paul was very defensive, referring to the Galatians as foolish for listening to other apostles who had been trying to undermine his work. He faced the risk of failing to collect for the Jerusalem Church, as he had promised its leaders (Galatians 2:10), or even of losing his own leadership of the Galatian Church altogether. In fact, the Epistle to the Galatians was preserved by the Galatians and eventually passed down to us, which implies that at least some of the community remained faithful to his version of Christianity.1 Corinthians 16:1 has good news, because it talks of the planned collection of money from the Galatian churches, apparently with some hope of success. Paul mentioned the collection somewhat later in Romans, listing only Macedonia and Achaia (Corinth) as contributing, to the obvious exclusion of the Galatians. There seems little doubt that, in the end, the Galatians did not contribute to Paul's collection. This could mean that the Galatians themselves were suffering too much to be able to contribute, or that some time after 1 Corinthians but before Romans, the Galatians cut their ties with Paul and joined a different branch of Christianity.

How many times in Scripture is God referred to as Mother?
Never. However, you may be confusing a Scripture in Galatians 4:26 seen here (speaking of the New Jerusalem in Hebrews 12:22-23; Revelation 21:19-20):Galatians 4:26New International Version (NIV)26 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.In Galatians, Paul is using the common 'allegorical method' of the day to make his point (see verse 4:24 and the term 'symbolic). Paul uses this approach to draw a stark distinction between the two biblical covenants that were at odds with each other in the churches in Galatia - the Abrahamic promise (Genesis 12:1-3) and the Law of Moses that God gave all Israel at Mount Sinai. Paul compares Jerusalem - the center of Jewish life, to Mount Sinai - the birthplace of the Law of Moses.The Jerusalem above (New Jerusalem) represents the hope of the Jews of heaven finally coming to Earth (see Revelation 21:22). The 'mother of us all' refers to those who are free through faith in Christ as Paul noted earlier in verse 7 of this chapter. The question Paul was asking the Galatians was are they shortsighted and willing to follow the Jerusalem of legalism in the present or the liberty of the heavenly Jerusalem that is promised to come. Paul uses Isaiah 54:1 to illustrate how the latter would outnumber the earlier offspring.
What is the theme of ephesians?
Paul was correcting wrong thinking that had quickly developed in the congregations of Galatia(Galatians 1:6). Certain Jews were trying to teach that circumcision (and other facets of the Law) were still required among Christians and Paul was reprimanding congregation members for being influenced by their false teachings(Galatians 2:15-3:14; 4:9+10) These ' false brothers', called 'Judaizers', were sly and concerned with their own interests (Acts 15:1/Galatians 2:4). Pretending to represent the congregation in Jerusalem, they discredited Paul and wanted the Christians to get circumcised(Galatians 4:17), to try and stop Jewish persecution of Christians. Paul wrote to the Galatians to remind them that they were no longer under the Mosaic Law(Galatians 2:15-21)(Galatians 1:6-9/Galatians 5:1-12/Galatians 6:12-16), but that they were acceptable to God because of their FAITH in the good news about Jesus (Galatians 3:1-5)(Galatians 4:1-7), and that the 'true sons of Abraham' were those with FAITH like Abraham's (Galatians 3:6-9+26-29).

Where did Paul remain for the next eight or nine years?
A:There are considerable challenges in harmonising Paul's own account of his travels with that in Acts of the Apostles. Since Acts was written some fifty years after Paul died, the following information comes from Paul's own account. In his Epistle to the Galatians, Paul said that after his conversion, he travelled to Arabia, then Damascus (bypassing Jerusalem), Jerusalem, then Syria and Cilicia, and back to Jerusalem (Galatians 1:16-2:1). At some stage after the second visit to Jerusalem, he appears to have visited Antioch with Peter. He must have spent 3 years in Damascus, 14 years in Syria and Cilicia, and indeterminate periods in the other centres. The record stops here, but it seems that Paul intended to travel to Rome and probably then to Spain. Clement of Rome, writing around 100 CE, seems to believe that Paul did travel to Spain and spend his last days there.
