Physical Realm v. Spiritual Realm
The only entity preventing the spirit of man from transitioning into the Spiritual-Eternal Realm is this decaying flesh that imprisons the spirit and constrains it by Time and physics. Our spiritual “home” is but a breath away, it surrounds us, permeates us, defines us; we are not home in this temporary body of decay. This temporary Earth, constrained by Time and physics, is NOT our home (Hebrews 13:14-15).
Heaven, the eternal abode of our Creator, is not some distant ethereal plane above us in the heavens or above the stratosphere but the Spiritual Realm inundates us, provides momentary glimpses through unexplained sensory phenomena; those who are born again by faith in Messiah long for it, feel it calling, sense its presence and as such our Lord is not far from each one of us as He indwells us through the Holy Spirit; this truth is comforting via the assurance, the knowledge, that His spiritual, intimate, presence is but one exhalation away (1 John 3:2; John 11:25-26; 2 Corinthians 5:8).
