The Complete Word Study Dictionary: New Testament 3614. οἰκία oikía
3614. οἰκία oikía; gen. oikías, fem. noun from oíkos (3624), a house. A building, house, dwelling. Oíkos had a broader range than oikía. Oíkos is the whole of person’s possessions, his whole estate, whereas oikía is simply his residence and only occasionally includes its contents.
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. 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.
He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And I will write on him My new name.
Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
Note added: In John 14.2-3, the word for “to prepare” is the same word Yeshua uses in Revelation 3.12, is the exact word!!?? So, is the New Jerusalem the same locus as His Father’s house in John 14.2-3? Or just coincidence?
