Joshua 13 and following.
When Joshua led the people into the Promised land, they fought for and recieved cities, homes and gardens already built. Cities with walls, cities without walls, towns and villages with surrounding farmland. Homes, all constructed, furnished and ready to live in. Farms, gardens and vineyards; all established. Their new life set before them, turnkey ready.
Is this not a foreshadowing of our reaching heaven? We will inherit a new city, completely built and ready. But this city is not made by human hands. The builder is God. Jesus is the one who fought for and gained our admission and the Spirit is the one who guides us there.
God, the architect, has twice made us a place to dwell; Eden, which we rejected and Heaven, which we welcome. The chosen of God are wildly blessed by His work for us.
All of Eternity is 'move in ready."
