A dimension you can't comprehend.

Heaven is not "in this universe." Nor can it be. Heaven it is said has a "different" standard of time, as the Bible says, "a day is as a thousand years" as an example. Basically, this is not a "rule" but a saying that God can make time in Heaven pretty much mean what He wants when compared to the Earth. Since the Angels, God and the Christ that existed "pre-earth existance" all saw the Universe come into existance and the earth and man created, we know that it is of antiquity or possibly "without time" as we understand it. As such, it is probably in a higher dimensional plane of existance, much like us compared to a 1 dimensional cartoon such as Peanuts. I use this comparison, because we can see "into" each cartoon character and see inside them, much like Christ could see into us and "see our hearts" while Charlie Brown and company can ONLY see in front and behind them and are NOT ABLE TO LOOK UP AND SEE US. We are looking at them from another dimension from which they cannot look. So, in this way, we would appear as gods to them. There is a wonderful book explaining this phenonmena called "Flatland" by the Abbott, Edwin Abbott, 1838-1926.
So, while science recognizes 10 dimensions, there are "thought" to be more, so who knows the true number "except God" and who can know the mind of God.
So to answer your question, only those who are spirit creatures TRULY know where Heaven IS!

He lives in the hearts of the faithful. I won't even begin to try and explain where Heaven is, I never claim to know all things about God.

God is everywhere and within us. He is not a man standing at the gates of heaven checking in people.
God has laid out a plan for us to follow and guides us each day to share His love with others. He places that love and ideals within our hearts, to share with others who don't know Him.
Heaven is our promised reward for believing in God's word and HIs plan for life and peace on earth. (see John 3:16)

god is beyond mortal time space energy etc
therefore, hes out somewhere, we just cant comprehend it whatsoever.. we are limited to only one side of the universe, and that is the physical realm. the spiritual realm is there, but not to the eye.
also, this is talking about us being part of the kingdom of god
nor will people say, "here it is," or "there it is," because the kingdom of God is within you. Luke 17:21

God is everywhere including heaven. He sees everything.

God is everywhere at once. That is what they by omnipresent. This, however, isn't the same thing as pantheism (the idea that god is in all things) because God is spirit. A spirit is not physical and is not defined of confined by space or time.

He is outside of time and therefore can be in all places at once.
I think heaven is also outside of time rather then an actual place we can hope to touch in this life.

G-d is everywhere. He exists in a place beyond our comprehension because our mortal and mundane minds cannot understand His existance.
Heaven does not exist in the sky.
