Where is the
Lord?
The Lord's throne is in heaven...Psalms 11:4
Is there more
than one heaven?
"...such one caught up to the third
heaven."
II Corinthinans 12:2
Jesus
said: "In my father's house are many
mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare
a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will
come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there
you may be also." John 14:2
Did
you know that
Cruden's Complete Concordance to the Old and New Testaments,
(Alexander Cruden, Hendrickson Publishers) lists
over 400 Bible references to "heaven"!
Fact:
The
Bible begins the Old Testament with the creation of heaven and closes
the New Testament in Revelations with a revelation of heaven's holy
city.

"and showed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, decending
out of heaven from God,...(Rev. 21:10)
Description of the holy city:
...And the building of the wall of it was
of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass. And
the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all
manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the
second sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;
the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolyte;
the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus;
the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst. And the twelve
gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and
the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.
And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb
(Jesus) are the temple of it. And the city had no need of the sun,
neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten
it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. Rev. 21:18-23
