Dear Sister,
Those passages have always left me filled with hope and wonder. I do not have more to add, but certainly will be open to the Spirit to reveal something in regard to them in the morning.
In His Love,

These rooms have everything to do with the rooms spoken about in John 14:1-2 where Jesus says in his Father's house are many rooms and I go there to prepare a place for you when he comes he will take us there.
A lot of times a single verse in the bible will leave us with an idea like John 14 does, until we find these verses of Isaiah and Zephaniah tell us more about these rooms
where we are taken "AFTER" the Resurrection. these verses below show this to us. lol
John 14:2 “Let anot your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father’s house
are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. bI 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. 4 And where I go you know, and the way you know.”
there is so much being said in these verses I will try hard to stay on the subject of the rooms..because what Thomas said goes with all this but just the rooms for now. .lol
Jesus says "
when he comes back" is the message to us, is when he returns to Earth in the Cloud. We know we are gathered to him and removed from the earth until the earth is purified by fire and the enemies of God are burned to Chaff
Matt 3:12 “His winnowing fork is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clear His threshing floor; and
He will gather His wheat into the barn, but He will
burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
these verses are everywhere that speak of the same things. The "
Barn" is where
the wheat is stored...this is referring to the
"rooms" spoken of by Isaiah and Zephaniah...I am in awe of these verses and what they are saying...I get cold chills...lol
Matthew has spoken about the rooms, but he calls it the "Barn" where God's "Wheat" is stored, We are the Wheat and told this in the N.T verses and spoken about as such in the O.T in various places.
This does not happen our going into these "rooms' until Jesus comes as Jesus said this in John 14:1, to further substantiate this Isaiah 26:17-21 speaks in perfect order of events that follow each other and the resurrection of the Dead in Isaiah 26:19 happens first then they are all told to go to the rooms and shut the doors.
This is clear these rooms protect us from the eternal fire that burns everything to chaff. All the enemies of God are left here and we are taken an placed in safety, then we are brought out to live upon the earth and the Millennium starts up. lol
In Christ's love
