Psalm 33:14
14 From the place [makown] of his habitation [yashab]
he looketh [shagach] upon all the inhabitants [yashab] of the earth ['erets]. KJV-Interlinear
14
from where he sits enthroned he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth, ESV
From the place of Gods habitation. And where is that? Heaven, of course. And it seems simple enough to understand, but
heaven is outside of creation.
Remember that Heaven has
always existed. This universe was
created, while Heaven already existed.
Heaven is Gods home, and
God has always had a home. God is
eternal and therefore Heaven is eternal.
That means that this
universe does have a limit, and probably many limits. What they are is beyond our ability to
discover, to know, or even to understand.
If we could travel to the
end of the universe, then we would be at the border of heaven, and that means
taking just one more step in order to cross over into heaven. But man is not able to travel that far, or
even know where that boundary is, let alone enter into heaven on his own.
That Bible makes that
clear.
The angels can travel
back and forth between heaven and earth, and they seem to be able to do it
relatively quickly, so they can travel really fast or heaven is not necessarily
at a far distance, but possibly in another parallel place or plane.
And again, that is beyond
our comprehension.
We might learn that
aspect of truth when we get to heaven.
After all, those who have died, will be resurrected and will return to
earth to be able to participate in that resurrection, and we all will return
from heaven to the earth with Christ at His second advent. So, we will actually experience the traveling
aspect of that trip from heaven to earth, and probably back and forth many
times during our next life, during the Millennium.
But, all of this is
speculation for the imagination.
Remember, that one of the
exciting aspects of our eternal reward, is that it will be beyond our
imagination, above and beyond all we can think or ask. And if you have a healthy imagination, then
you should know that beyond imagination leaves a vast set of possibilities,
possibilities that we cannot even begin to imagine.
God is in His heaven, and
looks down and sees everything. There is nothing that God does not see. Nothing escapes His eyes. God is omnipresent, meaning that He is
everywhere, and everywhere simultaneously. And that means that God is not
contained or confined by time or space, as we are.
That means that God sees
and knows everything and that you cannot hide, confuse, deceive, or otherwise
escape God.
Do not play games. Do not ruin or sacrifice your spiritual life,
by thinking that you can get away with something, or that you can have life
both ways. God sets the rules. Ignore the rules and what happens?
