Jesus said,
John 14:1-3 (KJV)
1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
Many "naturally minded" say this means our Father is BUILDING us mansions in heaven and Jesus was going to PREPARE a place for us. Yet the Holy City is ALREADY built, framed and measured--Rev.21-22 What Jesus was "spiritually" saying here, is Let NOT your hearts be troubled, you believe in God, believe in ME Jesus said, and that IN MY FATHER's HOUSE, not heaven, in my Father's HOUSE, there are many mansions. Those mansions are YOU and I when we be born of the Spirit! WE are now the TEMPLE of the Holy Ghost, or House of the Living God--I Cor.6:19-20 and II Cor.5:1-8. When Jesus said, I GO TO PREPARE a PLACE for you, Jesus was talking to HIS disciples about Gethsemane where HE first shed blood and THEN to Calvary's CROSS. It was THERE, that Jesus prepared a place in eternal life for those who would confess Jesus IS Lord, be covered by the blood, forgiven and live their lives in obedience. Then the best of all, Jesus said, I WILL COME AGAIN and receive you. This will be the Second Coming. It does not take much to see the world coming to the end the Bible speaks of. Be blessed, one and all.
