Isaiah 56:3-5 “Do not let the son of the foreigner Who has joined himself to the Lord Speak, saying, "The Lord has utterly separated me from His people"; nor let the eunuch say, "Here I am, a dry tree." (4) For thus says the Lord: "To the eunuchs who keep My Sabbaths, And choose what pleases Me, And hold fast My covenant, (5) Even to them I will give in My house And within My walls a place and a name Better than that of sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting name That shall not be cut off.”
This brings me to the final point regarding this issue, which is that each saint will reside in their own home, and not share their homes with others. Don’t misunderstand me, they will all have fellowship with each other, for as we have already mentioned, they will invite each other to their homes for meals, etc. But other than the angels that will reside with them to serve them, each saint will live as individuals in their own residences. In the above passage of scripture, God confirms to us the truth that the residence that He will give us within the city walls of the New Jerusalem will be better than that of sons and daughters, i.e. better than natural families.
