Good question.. I'm going to give you some think and study questions: What is "heaven" and what is the "kingdom" as in the teachings of Yeshua? My personal perception is that there is a difference between the pearly gates place and the kingdom that Yeshua taught about. Do a Bible Study on it, check out crosswalk.com for that. If you check out the teachings of Yeshua (Jesus is a Greek name, if you were hanging out with the Jewish Rabbi that was the historical basis for Christianity and said "Hey Jesus, wassup?", he'd have kept walking.) he speaks of the "kingdom" in present tense. I think that's important. Also if you do a study of Judaism and how it changed during the Babylonian exile you'll find that the meaning of several key concepts changed, "heaven" was just one of them.

∙ 10y agoTo answer this question, there are certain things that must be put in context, first despite the views of those who have misinterpreted The Bible, "Heaven" is not a real place on earth, but rather it is "Divine". As it is written in Proverbs 25v3, "The "Heaven" for heights, and the earth for depth. They are used for illustrative purposes only for humans to realize how good and evils are treated by our Almighty God.
Jewish answer:
The Garden of Eden was a real place on Earth; and before the sin, Adam and Eve had access through it to the upper worlds. After the sin, that connection was broken. The Garden remained in its place, now inaccessible, and was washed away in the Flood.
It is speculated that the Garden was located not far from the southern shoreline of Iraq where it meets the Persian Gulf. The shoreline is known to have changed in olden times.
Besides the text in Genesis ch.3, this is based on Jewish tradition and Biblical scholarship and commentary.
Response
I would love to find out exactly where the Garden of Eden was located, and what about the Sin? Moreover, what access through it to the upper worlds? What connection was broken? And please elaborate on the Flood and how and what got washed away, and why was it inaccessible. Furthermore, please state exactly where in the Bible can these stories be found.?
Ps. My only Book of reference is the KJVB.
Response
The scriptures are not for any private interpretations, and moreover God is not about confusions, and speculations. It is either that you know it by the revelations of the scriptures or not.So therefore all speculations are dismissed.
