If a heaven existed then people quoting scriptures (usually completely irrelevant) all the time is just one very good example of why i dont want to go.
What's irrelevant about Revelation 19:6-9, the marriage supper of the Lamb?
People dressed in fine clothes for a fancy dinner.
"Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.”
Like the ultimate Family reunion of all history.
"Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me. - Revelation 3:20
But if you've made up you mind, you don't want to go, and you can't order it in, maybe I can fix up a plate and sneak it out in a doggie bag for you.
I think that I can make the trip, from heaven to here, in about 3.5 minutes, traveling in swift flight at about mach 92.
Heaven is a physical building, like a giant Borg cube, but bright and beautiful.
It has to be close enough so that people will see it with the naked eye when Revelation 11 takes place.
"Then, in heaven, the Temple of God was opened and the Ark of his covenant could be seen inside the Temple. Lightning flashed, thunder crashed and roared, and there was an earthquake and a terrible hailstorm. - Revelation 11:19
Daniel reads a prayer in Chapter 9 that takes about 3.5 minutes. When he finishes, Gabriel says, as soon as you began to pray, I was sent. For you are a man greatly loved.
"At the beginning of your supplications the command went out, and I have come to tell you, for you are greatly beloved; therefore consider the matter, and understand the vision: - Daniel 9:23
So it took Gabriel about 3.5 minutes to get from New Jerusalem (heaven), to Daniel's location on Earth.
Even at it's largest stated size, the New Jerusalem from Revelation 21 would tuck nicely inside the moon with all 8 of it's corners just 20 feet below the lunar surface.
When the Temple in Heaven is opened, and the Ark of His Covenant is revealed, the people on Earth are going to see that Heaven was never really that far away.
People would be taking a stroke if the New Jerusalem busted out of it's hiding place, cloaked all this time inside of the moon.
One of the last things they see would be heaven orbiting the earth.
All these years.
