Hi Paul
I am one that
views housing in the New Jerusalem will more like apartments
than mansions. I hope that fellow believers that have
been closest to me in this life (i.e. spouse, children,
parents, grandparents, friends) will also live close to me
in the New Jerusalem. However, I believe that we will
each have our own individual place that Jesus has designed
just for us. I do think it would be nice if our rooms
were more like suites, where doors will open to the rooms of
our loved ones. I don't believe it would feel like
home without my best friend, my husband, living the closest
to me; not as a spouse anymore, but still as a close loved
one.
Maranatha!

"living in the New
Jerusalem"
Curious do you think couples who are married here an
earth would live together in the New Jerusalem?? Like in the
same house???? For example would my grandma and grandpa live
together or each have their own house??? (they were together
till she died and he died 3 1/2 months later so no remarriage)
I realize divorce and remarriage would complicate the issue
(especially a instance like it was his 2nd marriage and her
first so you couldn’t just say they would be with the first
spouse) so for the sake of this question let us focus on those
who were only married once no divorce. if you want to comment
on those who divorce and remarried or those who divorced but
didn’t remarry or those who remarried after their spouse died
that is ok but I am mainly interested in the couples together
“‘til death do us part” and no remarriage after one dies.
I know some think we wont have houses in the New Jerusalem
just rooms/apartments so if you believe that you can form your
answer about the rooms/apartments.
Please do answer as I am curious what people think.
Paul
