That's a good question. The Bible speaks of a New Heaven and a New Earth - Rev 21:1 ff. It looks like the answer is "yes" there will be both, and that we will have free access to either place. | ||||||

MJH I'm not sure I understand the point your making. If God is there and we are there, it sounds like we are with God and God is with us to me. Again we must remember there is two aspects of this picture. The Physical which we are very familiar with and the other which is spiritual and we understand very little about. However one day “soon” we are going to be changed 1 Corinthians 15:52-54 (NKJV) 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: "Death is swallowed up in victory." At that point is seems we will understand and move between the spiritual and physical realm. At that point we will be in God’s presence and God will be before us. EdB |

Most Christians I meet talk in terms of mankind going to be with God. But the Bible always speaks in terms of God desiring to make His dwelling with mankind. It is a subtle point, but an important one to look into, I believe. It is not simply being with God -- the direction is important. How many people picture us being in Heaven with God and singing worship songs all day in white clothes? Oh, and don't forget that personal mansion that we are all suppose to have. In reading the Bible we are presented with a picture of God seeking to dwell with mankind. The whole purpose of the Temple, sacrifices, and Law of Moses was to paint a picture of a holy, loving, merciful God seeking to be among His people. The New Testament continues this picture with the Messiah being with us, and then Revelation speaking in the same language. When we in our language flip this direction we are in danger of developing theological beliefs that are contrary to reality. How would our understandings of God and therefore our actions change if we thought primarily of God coming down to dwell among us? |

God does make his dwelling with us--in us--our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit. We are going to be with God in heaven: "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." John 14:2 The thought I embrace is, Jesus could come at any moment for His Bride, so you had better be close enough to God so you can hear that trumpet! Janae. |

Janae said, "We are going to be with God in heaven: "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." John 14:2" #1 The word "mansions" is not a correct translation. (Materialism in Heaven?") #2 If you understand what those hearing Jesus' words understood, you would see this much differently. Allow me to explain . . . Household – In the Galilee, a father would have a household that would include a home structure, a place for animals and food, and a courtyard. (See archeology for proof.) When a son wanted to get married his father and the bride’s father would bring the proposal together. The son would say to the bride to be, “I will go to my father’s household to prepare a place for you. When I am finished I will come for you.” The son went home to add a room (important word) to the father’s house for himself and his bride. The son did not determine when the room was complete, the father did. (You can guess why). The father might say, “Son, I know you are excited to have the wedding, but you must do a good job, this is where your wife will live.” When the FATHER said the room was ready, then he told the son who, at any time, would go to the town of the bride to get her. The whole party would come with trumpets and all. The bride was supposed to be ready at all times. Then the groom would taker her to the room, get “married”, and party for a week. The above is how this worked in the Galilee where Jesus lived and taught. This is what people were thinking when Jesus spoke, “In my Father’s household are many rooms: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.” The marriage connection is obvious. The household is a COMMUNITY of people living in relationships. NOT mansions for individuals. This information above also enlightens other scriptures as well. (The 10 virgins, Jesus not knowing when He is returning, etc…) MJH |

My, you have certainly opened up the gospels with this information about Jewish customs. Are you a student? Where did you glean such helpful information? Janae. |
