[John 14 1] Let not your heart be troubled ye believe in God believe also in me. (Jesus knew that the disciples hearts were troubled after what He had just said about Peter and He wanted to comfort them. He tells them not to let their hearts [souls] be troubled. Trust in God and trust in Me also. He was leading up to what would happen after His crucifixion. [Ephesians 3 14-17 I John 2 23-24]. Because of what Christ would do all those who heard the Good News about how to be saved and trusted Christ were marked as belonging to Christ by the Holy Spirit. It is the Holy Spirit that seals all those promises).[John 14 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. (Plenty of room in My Father s house. I will go and prepare a place for you a place to abide. This word mansions in the Greek is mone [mon-ay ] residence [the act or place] [abode]. Meaning to dwell within us. [II Corinthians 5 1 Revelation 3 12] When this earthly body is gone we will have our spiritual body for eternity. [I Corinthians 15 46-48] The natural body is what we have now [flesh] the spiritual body comes later. As for now in this flesh body Christ will dwell in our hearts through the Holy Spirit).[John 14 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. (When everything is ready [I will come again] and receive you. This word receive in the Greek is paralambano to receive that is to associate with or to have a relationship with you so that you will always be with Me). [John 12 26]. (Where was Jesus standing when He said I will come again On earth). MAN SION n. a staying i.e. residence (the act or the place) abode mansion. from maneo to dwell to reside. [Acts 1 10] And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up behold two men stood by them in white apparel. (Two angels of God were standing beside the apostles as a witness to the Son of God ascending toward heaven).[Acts 1 11] Which also said Ye men of Galilee why stand ye gazing up into heaven this same Jesus which is taken up from you into heaven shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. (Why do you stare into the sky you men of Galilee the two angels said. Jesus was taken from you but He will return someday in the same way that you have seen Him go. He will return to the mount of Olives as it is written. Where were these men of Galilee standing Again on this earth).Are any partway returns of Jesus mentioned in the above verses like in the pre-trib rapture teachings No none or anywhere else for that matter He comes back one time only to this earth. Some might say this contradicts rapture doctrine. Where would that contradiction be In God s word or in your mind I ll give you a clue God s word doesn t contradict itself Eternal Kingdom for ever and ever [Jeremiah 7 7 25 5 2 Peter 1 11 Revelation 5 10 20 9 21 1-3 10]. Where will it be and how long will it last These are just a few of the verses that tell us about the length of His Kingdom and where it will be. Keep studying friends.
