I often ask Christians what and where is heaven- the answers range all over the place. Seems to me that in the OT, a lot of the concept of heaven was at about cloud level-atmospheric so to speak. Heaven is spoken of so much, but we Christians have no real grasp. In NT, Jesus was taken up and a cloud received him. God spoke and they thought it was thunder. Then, of course there is the third heavens, and the heaven of heaven.
I suspect that after airplanes, the concept evolved more to "out there" somewhere. After space travel, it probably got further removed from the atmosphere concept, and who knows where Jesus ended up. Some, spiritual types say it is a realm.
