The Good man of the house exhorts his servants to be watchful. "Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh." So we need look at the house as that of God. "For every house is builded by someman; but he that built all thingsisGod." and the writer to the Hebrews is specific, "But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end."(He.3:4,6). Jesus places emphasis on his disciples to whom he is placing his trust before he left the earth. Many of his parables also lays stress on, "Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come." (24:42)
His saints are double bonded because they have much to lose if they have been found careless and unprofitable. "Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing./Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods." (vv.46-47) All his goods include heaven the earth and lower parts. So while we are in our earthly tabernacle there is a building, "we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens." Besides we have our service in heavenly places as kings and priests. It is which John in his vision alludes, they are the earnest of our inheritance as the indwelling Spirit signifies. The four and twenty elders testify, "And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth (Re.5:10). The position is also set out so this tabernacle is seen descending from heaven to the mid-air.
So the saints are like the memorial of 24 and symbolise the body, they have 'a new song' which is the key to believe that they are kept for a purpose. (Re.14:3) It is what we see in Re.19:14 "And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean." In the vision these saints are redeemed from the earth
