HOME
Home in Scripture may mean a house, household, dwelling place, native place, or one’s own people. “Everlasting home” can refer to the final dwelling, while being “at home” may contrast earthly life with being present with the Lord.
Biblical Usage
“Home” may describe returning to a house or place, an everlasting dwelling, or one’s own household and possessions. In 2 Corinthians 5, being at home means being among one’s own people, in contrast with living abroad; the passage also contrasts earthly absence with being present with the Lord.
