Where is heaven?

Answer 1

Heaven is not definable as a geographical location, at least not within our own understanding, so therefore cannot be placed or located in tangible terms. If you want answers as to where and what Heaven is, read through Revelation, the last book of The Bible. If you want answers as to how you can get there, read through the book of John in the New Testament.

AnswerHeaven is in the same place as Santa clause and his toy factory in the north pole. Heaven is in the same place as religious theology that can never be validated. It is as easy to access as the Easter Bunny and his eggs.

Answer

According to Scripture we are told that heaven is not in this world and we are also told that heaven is a Kingdom where Christ is King. We are also told that all authority in heaven and on earth have been given to Him. So heaven is not in this world but this world is part of the Kingdom of Heaven and through baptism we enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Therefore, as we live in this world, it is the Kingdom of Heaven and our relationship to it that is so important to us.

Answer

In the Bible there are 3 places called Heaven:

1). The earth's atmosphere envelope or sky from whence falls the rain.

Gen 8:1 And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged;

Gen 8:2 The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;

2). The celestial heaven, wherein the Stars are located.

Gen 15:5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.

3) The "third Heaven called "Paradise", where God's throne is located.

2Co 12:2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.

2Co 12:4 How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

The Spiritual hosts of angels reside in "the Heavenly places" wherein the Stars and Planets are located.

Eph 3:10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,

The Heavenly places are governmentally organized into principalities, powers and so forth.

It is conceivable that angels occupy the entirety of the celestial heavens we call "outer space"

Which gives you a new way to look at UFO's

"Heaven" is closeness to God. The more "God-like" you are in life, the closer you are to Him in the afterlife.

Answer 2

When the notion that there is a heaven was being developed, it was assumed to be in the sky just above us. Thus we have the prophet Elijah riding a fiery chariot up to heaven in a whirlwind (2 Kings 2:11); Jesus rising up through the clouds to heaven (Acts 1:9); and St. Stephen looking up into heaven and seeing Jesus on the right hand of God (Acts 7:55).

Science has shown that heaven is not in the sky just above us, or in any other physical location in the universe. Religion has therefore adapted by saying that heaven is not so much a physical place, but a state of grace. If recent religious belief is true, the dead may be 'there' spiritually, but it is a nowhere place.
