Simple. Look at John 2:16. See what is said of the Temple? Jesus in chapter 14 is talking about the heavenly Temple, the Heavenly Jerusalem. Not a place of soil, bricks, and alley ways, but a perpetual dwelling with God in heavenly and worshipful splendor. See Rev. 4 and 5; and 21:1,22; Galatians 4:26; Hebrews 12:22-24.

Rev 21:10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
Rev 21:11 Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
Rev 21:12 And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
Rev 21:13 On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
Rev 21:14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
Rev 21:15 And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
Rev 21:16 And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.

Sorry but New Jerusalem where my mansion is being built is a real, physical city, in Heaven...

According to the measurements, it's about 1500 miles, cubed...It's a real city in a real place...

I know, what does real mean???

It is real, but it isn’t physical.

Just like a soul. Just like the Father. Just like the Holy Spirit.

No doubt God is retaining you as supervising architect.
