"In my Father's house are many dwelling places; if not, I would have told you. I am going away to prepare a place for you. If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and receive you to Myself, so that where I am you may be also"
John 14:2-3
I see some striking parallels here with the account of creation that we find in Genesis. God created the heavens and the earth and then prepared them for man. He created light to illuminate our paths and mark our days. He created dry land for us to walk upon and dwell upon. He created all of the creatures of the earth to fill it with the evidence of His greatness and for man to have dominion over. He created earth and prepared if for us so that we could thrive. The earth is clearly designed to support life and is set apart from all other stellar bodies. Once God created Adam, God placed him in a perfectly prepared Garden for him to dwell in.
God created this vast and complex universe in a mere week. I believe in a 6 literal days creation because I believe Bible is His Word and that is what His Word says. And I believe my God is big enough to do such a things. His Word also says that Christ has gone away to prepare a place for the disciples; for us; for me! It's not like a preparing for a banquet with a 'X' number of guests. He is preparing a specific place for me and for you individually. Can you imagine what kind of place God could prepare if given close to 2000 years to prepare it? Look what He did in 6 days. I can't either, but I'm anxious to find out.
