Jesus was the only One who came down from heaven and went back the rest of us will (might ) go only after the judgement day. The Bible says righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy spirit is the kingdom of God and that is what is supposed to be within us.

initially In Judaism, people did no longer visit Heaven rather They Went To a place noted as "Gan Edan". Jesus Is saying That No guy, no person Has long previous To Heaven yet He Has because of the fact he's God. in a protracted time interior the Bible The Gates Of Heaven Are Opened And Gan Edan is now no longer, people Are Welcomed In Heaven. that's What Christians have confidence. Jews have confidence Gan Edan remains a place That people visit.

Emmanuel means God with us, which is Jesus name. God is Jesus, Jesus Himself represent the kingdom of God.

Nobody can reach out to heaven / Holy God because sin has separate us from God. Many people has tried to find God but they can't because of sin, they have that desire to the present of God which represent the hunger of the spirit to worship God, the search result to many religion and man made philosophy. However only God can find us not we find God.

He said that because there has never been a man who has lived EVER who has died and gone to Heaven. All who have lived since the dawn of man are all dead. They are not living in Heaven or are in Hell or anything. Thats why there a judgement when God will resurrect all who have died before he determines what eternal rewards we all will recieve.

This is the verse in question:

Joh 3:13 And no one has gone up into Heaven, except He having come down out of Heaven, the Son of Man who is in Heaven.

Here is a commentary on this verse:

Joh 3:13 -
And no man hath ascended into heavens - No man, therefore, is qualified to speak of heavenly things, Joh_3:12. To speak of those things requires intimate acquaintance with them - demands that we have seen them; and as no one has ascended into heaven and returned, so no one is qualified to speak of them but He who came down from heaven. This does not mean that no one had Gone to heaven or had been saved, for Enoch and Elijah had been borne there (Gen_5:24; compare Heb_11:5; 2Ki_2:11); and Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and others were there: but it means that no one had ascended and “returned,” so as to be qualified to speak of the things there.
But he that came down ... - The Lord Jesus. He is represented as coming down, because, being equal with God, he took upon himself our nature, Joh_1:14; Phi_2:6-7. He is represented as “sent” by the Father, Joh_3:17, Joh_3:34; Gal_4:4; 1Jo_4:9-10.
The Son of man - Called thus from his being “a man;” from his interest in man; and as expressive of his regard for man. It is a favorite title which the Lord Jesus gives to himself.
Which is in Heaven - This is a very remarkable expression. Jesus, the Son of man, was then bodily on earth conversing with Nicodemus; yet he declares that he is “at the same time” in heaven. This can be understood only as referring to the fact that he had two natures that his “divine nature” was in heaven, and his “human nature” on earth. Our Saviour is frequently spoken of in this manner. Compare Joh_6:62; Joh_17:5; 2Co_8:9. Since Jesus was “in” heaven - as his proper abode was there - he was fitted to speak of heavenly things, and to declare the will of God to man And we may learn:
1.that the truth about the deep things of God is not to be learned from “men.” No one has ascended to heaven and returned to tell us what is there; and no infidel, no mere man, no prophet, is qualified of himself to speak of them.
2.that all the light which we are to expect on those subjects is to be sought in the Scriptures. It is only Jesus and his inspired apostles and evangelists that can speak of those things.
3.It is not wonderful that some things in the Scriptures are mysterious. They are about things which we have not seen, and we must receive them on the “testimony” of one who has seen them.
4.The Lord Jesus is divine. He was in heaven while on earth. He had, therefore, a nature far above the human, and is equal with the Father, Joh_1:1.
