My Father's house has many rooms.

[WhiteWings]

When a girl accepted the wedding proposal of a boy he went back the his father's house and started building a wedding room in which they will consummate the marriage.

That was a real regular house and a regular room.
I'm wondering there is something more hidden here.
The Temple was also called a house. Just as today a church building is called the house of God.
A house can also be a family plus servants.

Ps 122:1 Temple
Ps 122:5 Household of David
Ps 122:9 The nation
Deut 5.6 House of bondage   (land of) slavery
2 Sam 1.12   house   nation

Jesus called His body Temple. A Temple, as we saw above, is also a house.
Jesus went away preparing a room in the house of God with has many rooms.
When we combine 2 Sam 1:12, Ps 122:1 and the words of Jesus the rooms Jesus is preparing might very well be our own bodies for a pentecost event when the HS comes to live in His new room(s).

Just a thought.

WhiteWings, great thinking  :HeartThrob:

This certainly appears to fits perfectly with what Jesus said here:

Luk 17:20
And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:

Luk 17:21
Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

Also..... Concerning the Spirit making use of the rooms.

Rom 8:9
You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ.

1Cr 12:13
For we were all baptized byfn one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.

Eph 5:18
Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit,

Pentecost:

Act 2:1
When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.

Act 2:2
Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.

Act 2:3
They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them.

Act 2:4
All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tonguesfn as the Spirit enabled them.


Love Julie  :HeartThrob:

"In My Father's house are many abodes; yet if not I would have told you, for I am going to make ready a place for you." (John 14:2)

"2 The temple in Jerusalem was the Father's house. In the walls were many abodes for the priests and Levites who officiated in its precincts. There is no hint anywhere in the Scriptures that the disciples go to heaven. A celestial destiny was not revealed until the apostle Paul was in his Roman prison. Then he first made it known in his Ephesian epistle. But it is not for the saints of the Circumcision. All their blessings are heavenly in character and, like the new Jerusalem, come down out of heaven, but they are all enjoyed on earth. Only those in the present secret economy of God's grace are blessed with all spiritual blessings among the celestials. The Circumcision enjoy the days of heaven on earth. Hence Christ comes again and is with them in the kingdom." (Concordant Commentary on the New Testament page 164)

True. Then Jesus was saying: I make you priests.

   KooL!!! :bigGrin:

also, "in my Fathers house" the universe and all that is "are many abiding places. I go to prepare a place for you.." - I go to be crucified.. (and ?not I go to prepare a place in heaven for you like the mainstream Church has always believed.. for soul/inherent immortality)

One doesn't exclude the other. In the Jewish mind Scripture has 4 layers.

Level 1: pshat=simple/direct
Level 2: remez=hinting
Level 3: darash=comparison/commentary
Level 4: sod=deep, hidden

Level 1: Point to literal Jewish wedding customs
Level 2: Point to the Temple of stone and wood
Level 3: Our body
Level 4: ?????

Level 2 and 3 should maybe be switched?
