" In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you "

Oh most definately. I think the place for me is already waiting. I just want this year to be different. Not the same prayers, not the same mistakes, not the same....just better in Christ!

Sure. This applies to all "born again" regenerated Christians. This is "eternal life" promised by God for all of His people whether "The Kingdom chosen people (Istrael) to inherit the earth or the "Grace Gospel chosen people who avail of His wonderful grace to inherit heaven (Philippians 3:20) This is main face value of Genesis 1:1 that God literally say that in the beginning He created the heavens and the earth. (He never instead say "He created the whole universe") Therefore in Revelation we can also see the "new heaven and new earth" for He has an eternal purpose to people both this place according to His will. (Ephesians 3:15)

I can only guess but I'd say it would apply to those who believe and accept both God and Jesus.
I heard that quote from the priest this summer when my grandfather passed. He explained that Jesus worked to make room for the believers and God's follower's and once their room was done then it was their time to 'go home'.

Nina,
I personally believe that He has gone to prepare a place for Children of GOD (Christians). That does NOT mean that they will be the ONLY Occupants but that they are the ones it is now intended for. Have a great week.
Thanks,

Jesus Christ was talking about the paradise , if anybody followed the commandants of god he will have a good place in paradise . when Jesus Christ said my father he meant that he follows all commandments of god . Son of god means the good man son of devil means the bad man
[ King James ]-[ Jn:8:44 ]-[ Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. ]
[ King James ]-[ Rom:8:14 ]-[ For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. ]
in paradise alot of places as a quran said
[ Al-Ankabut:58 ]-[ Those who believe and do good works , them verily We shall house in lofty dwellings of the Garden underneath which rivers flow . There they will dwell secure . How sweet the guerdon of the toilers , ]
[ Az-Zumar:20 ]-[ But those who keep their duty to their Lord , for them are lofty halls with lofty hails above them , built ( for them ) , beneath which rivers flow . ( It is ) a promise of Allah . Allah faileth not His promise . ]

Hi Nina;
Jesus is speaking to His disciples in John 14: 1-4.
I do believe that my Father is preparing a room for me in His mansion. He promises us eternal life. He has that special place for me.

No.
Applies to those who will share in the Kingdom and who will sit on Thrones and be Kings and Priests for 1,000 years. I do not Qualify, because I am not anointed.
