Bible Question: What exactly does mansion mean when spoken of in the bible?

Bible Answer: Greetings Tin,

Down through the time of ages God has shown us His corporate design.
In the Tabernacle of the Wilderness, there were the priest of the Tabernacle and the tribe of Levi as attendants to the Tabernacle. The children of God were encamped about the Tabernacle by tribe and by their tribal standards or banners, each tribe having a chief (Num 1:4-16). Certain placements in the camp designated for certain tribes (Num 2:2-31). Each nation that God has structured here on earth has this same corporate design, i.e., President or King and all the offices or placements subordinate thereof. We see the building of the church and the gifts given to men by Christ Jesus (Eph 4:8-16), for church structure, Christ being the Head (Eph 5:23), also as the man is the head of the household. God is not a God of confusion in anything He performs. We see in Revelation even the structure of the New Jerusalem, the bride of Christ, the structure of order seen by John and the various glories of it (Rev 21).
All of this that God has done has been with order, structure, and placement. Now we come to (John 14:2) KJV "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." Christ is telling the disciples that He is going away to prepare a position for them in the Father's Kingdom, corporately as we see it here, a structure by design. We are given a view of this structure in Heaven with God on His throne with the elders around the throne and all the Heavenly Host according to their placement in the Kingdom of God, the Father's House, each being having their own glory. There will be structure in Heaven; Jesus tells us the first will be the last (Mark 9:35). There has been structure before the foundations of the earth and so there will be structure in the Kingdom of Heaven, Our Father's House.

Paraphrased John 14:2 - In My Father's House there will be a place for you and I am going to go and prepare for you your position within the structure of My Father's Kingdom.

(Mat 16:27) For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
