John 14:2-3 “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. (3) And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.”
We have already looked at this passage earlier, but I wanted to quote it again in this section regarding the design of the New Jerusalem, to confirm that the residences of the saints will account for most if not all, of the buildings in the heavenly city. And as I have also already stated, God the Father has already built all the residences in the city, and our Lord Jesus is currently putting the finishing touches to each residence, based on the good works done by the saints in this life. And so, based on an estimated population of 300 million saints, the size of the property that each residence will be located on will be about 4 acres. Clearly each residence will be surrounded by a perfect garden that will continually be in full bloom at all times.
