Heaven is the spiritual realm all around us, Gen.22:11 "And the angel of the Lord called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said here am I."
There are many accounts of angelic encounters throughout the scriptures, angels seen by mortal men, when these angels are not visible to the human eye that doesn't mean that they have vanished, but that they are only visible in the spiritual realm. Rev. 1:10 John says " I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day,and heard behind me a great voice,as of a trumpet"
John goes on to say the amazing things that he saw while in the Spirit. Not only does the spiritual realm of Heaven contain the angels, it also is presently home to the demons and the devil. Job 1: 6 & 7 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them. And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence cometh thou? Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, form coming to and fro in the earth (natural realm) and from walking up and down in it. Rev 12:8&9 "... neither was their place found any more in heaven(spiritual realm) (9) And the great dragon was cast out that old serpent called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth (natural realm) and his angels with him."
This is a bit scary to me, to think that Satan and his angels will be in a visible form, and maybe they are here now, some people do some pretty unimaginable things, but here is where hope lies Rev. 21:1 "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea."
The new heaven and the new earth will be one just like it was in the garden of Eden. How wonderful it will be, Amen. Let us not "bite" at each other lest we be devoured and let our comments be for the growth of the body of Christ our Saviour. The scribes and the pharisees were religious, let us not be like that.
Religion is man made, we are God made.
