@executioner-brandsaid Here on earth, another galaxy far far away or even beyond the stars and time. Will you be able to travel there one day?
Despite there being a stairway to heaven, heaven is a place on earth. Furthermore despite everyone knowing that there are tears in heaven, everyone wants to go to heaven and there are a lot of people knocking on heaven’s Door. One thing I do know is that you’ll never get to heaven if you plagiarise other people’s work as I am doing and heaven knows I’m miserable now.

WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES
In the Bible, the word “heaven” has more than one meaning. For example:
Genesis 1:20 describes the creation of birds that “fly above the earth across the expanse of the heavens.” In this case, the word “heavens” refers to our atmosphere, the observable sky.
Isaiah 13:10 mentions “the stars of the heavens and their constellations”—what we would call outer space.
The Bible speaks of God’s “dwelling place in the heavens” and says that there are “angels in heaven.” (1 Kings 8:30; Matthew 18:10) Note that the words “heavens” and “heaven” are not simply metaphors, but describe an actual place of residence.
I don't know where heaven physically is. But this I would like you to know - If you confess that you are a sinner in need of Jesus Christ as your Savior and your Lord, and if you receive Him into your heart part of heaven will be installed in the depths of your own being..
