You are being formed into the Kingdom for God to rest in.

We are that city on a hill. We are the Kingdom of God. We are his Sabbath day in which when the work is done the he shall rest in with us and we shall rest in him.
Our job is to believe and behave as if it has already been done. And while we are in the flesh conduct ourselves as living in the spirit already prepared for us.

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.
Who can see this?
Who has ears to hear what the spirit saith?
