MY FATHER'S HOUSE
4 stars|4 comments|August 08, 2008|577 reads
 





14:2 In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? 14:3 And when I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.





 
Note the promise of Jesus. "I will come back and take you to be with me."
Jesus pledges to take us home. He does not delegate this task. He may send
missionaries to teach you, angels to protect you, teachers to guide you,
singers to inspire you, and physicians to heal you, but He sends no one to
take you. He reserves this job for Himself.

That's right my sister...The Lord *Himself* shall come and gather His people and take them to be with Him....And His Home for all eternity shall be right here on this earth in the City of David...Jerusalem, where He has always desired to be......

132:13 For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired [it] for his habitation. 132:14 This [is] my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it. 132:15 I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread. 132:16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy. 132:17 There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed. 132:18 His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.

 
14:4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which [is] before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, [and there shall be] a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. 14:5 And ye shall flee [to] the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, [and] all the saints with thee.


14:9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.

Has anyone ever considered the thought that Father's house is not "heaven?"  I like that word habitation.  Some translations say, "dwelling."  It also come from the word abide or abode.

What if Jesus was saying something like this: I am going to My Father (and your Father).  IN My Father (where I abide) are many more abodes or dwelling places.

I'll stop at this point J.
