If people say the sky never stops then where is heaven then?

Jocelynne Another point heaven or heavens [shamayim raised or heaved up things],Gen.1:8 God called

the firmament or expanse heaven. Again anything above earth is part of the expanse known as heaven,

verse examples Gen1:20, 14:19,19:24,22:11, 22:15, these are but a few examples of usage pertaining to

shamayim.

Hi Jocelynne,

Some have given you some good answers here. From an astronomical perspective, what we consider as "sky" is our atmosphere that is the air between the surface of the earth and the outermost layer of our atmosphere (exosphere). Beyond the exosphere is outer space, called the "heavens" as as far as where the sun, moon, and stars are located. As far as the "heaven" as the abode of angels, this may be a purely spiritual dimension within space, or it may be an actual physical dimension somewhere in the universe. We really don't know the answer on that, as far as I know.

Jocelynne Last point sky which is atmosphere stops before space but still the expanse or heaven is anything

above earth biblically.

Jocelynne It is interesting that heaven means raised up or heaved up things then you have Christ who

now is seated in the heavenlies, and so are believers spiritually in Gods eyes. Na man will ever know where

the expanse or heaven or heavenlies end.

Jocelynne Bell If we take a close look at Genesis it gives the answer. In gen. 1:6+7 the firmament is the word

expanse and the word expanse in verse 8 God calls heaven so anything above the earth is called heaven. Notice

verses 14-18 he set the stars and sun and moon in the firmament or expanse of heaven. Then there is heavens and

heavenlies. Notice also the God put the firmament in the midst of the waters and separated the waters above the

expanse from the waters below the expanse and let the dry land appear. Its interesting that astronomers have found

beyond our solar system balls of water larger hat planets floating, also in Genesis 7:11 that the fountains of the great

deep were opened up and the windows of heaven were opened and the rain was upon the earth forty day and nights.

Jocelynne Bell, There is a Heaven above the heavens which is where the most high sits. There, there is no darkness at all. We in our so called universe can not see the heaven above the heaven physically. We have to remember that Yah is infinite, this means that he is beyond our comprehension. Even the angels, desire to know the very essence of Yah. We as mere humans, are adopted into the body of Jesus and thus part-take by faith in all the blessings from on high.
