Concerning the location of our Heavenly Father, there is much to say. According to the word of God, Jesus ascended higher than the heavens and above the universe to sit at the right hand of God (Eph. 4:10; Hebrews 7:26). As we know, “heavens” is a term used to describe the visible atmospheres, and our Lord Jesus ascended into the high heaven. The high heaven is over thousands of billions of light-years away, outside of this universe. For its is in the high heaven, the heaven of heavens, where God’s throne is.
Remember, it was God who stretched out the heavens and the universe. The universe extends upwards well over thousands of billions of light-years from earth. The high heaven, outside of the universe, is where Christ ascended to, at the right hand of God. God formed the universe at his command along with the heavens, and he stretched it out! Therefore, if God created the universe, we know that his “domain” is outside of it! For example, if you built a box.. the very fact that you build it, is evidence that your existence is outside of it. You are in a separate domain or “realm”. This universe, although big to us, is like a box to God. We are within the box, and we are within TIME, but the fact that God created both the box (universe), and the time within the box, proves that he is not limited to the boundaries of the box! Now if you build a box, you could step within it. God has that ability, he can step within our universe, and within our timeline (and he did through Jesus). However, again, he is not limited to it. He is the creator of timelines. This is why he doesn't “see into the future”...he wrote our future, just as an author writes the future (timeline) for all who are within a book.
Furthermore, as we know brothers and sisters, our Lord’s throne is in the utmost (highest attainable point) heights of the north (Isaiah 14:13). In fact, God’s throne is so far away, outside of the universe, over thousands of billions of light years from earth, that time itself has not yet reached God’s throne location. For the universe and the heavens within it, were created and stretched out at God’s command (Psalm 33:6; Psalm 103:11; Psalm 113:6; Psalm 115:16; Isaiah 48:13; Hebrews 1:12; Hebrews 4:14; Hebrews 11:3). As we know, God’s throne is outside of the timeline he created for us. Since we are within the universe with its’ galaxies and its’ vast array, we are the ones who are within time. For the throne of God is in the realm of eternity, outside of the universe which was formed at God’s command.
But do not forget, everything that God speaks becomes Fact. Therefore remember, until the things of his word are fulfilled, only then will the earth realm (time) and God’s realm (eternity) move closer together. As we know, once the words of God are fulfilled, we will have the pleasure of experiencing the New Jerusalem and the New Heavens and the New Earth in ONE realm with God.
Let us also remember that even though God’s throne room is outside of our realm of time (the universe)... He has deposited his essence within our space and time to guide us and communicated with us at ALL times, his Holy Spirit. This is why the greatest gift to receive, is to have the Holy Spirit living within you, it literally connects you to the realm of the One who created everything. It allows for you to live within his Kingdom now, while still on this earth!
Concerning those who fall asleep (die) in the body of Christ, we know that they are with God and where he is. For when one of us “falls asleep”, we know that their spirit will have gone outside of the entire universe over some thousands of billions of light years up into the high heaven, the heaven of heavens to be with our Lord. “To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord”--Apostle Paul
Let us be informed, for we know that time itself as not yet reached God’s throne. So when the spirit of those who have fallen asleep in Christ reaches the high heaven, we can be assured that they are well outside of our universe, and thus, outside of time. For we know that when their spirit reached the throne, it was a race against time, and that they arrived at home faster than time itself has yet reached it.
You see, time itself is traveling. It is like a line on a course. So if I could travel at an extremely fast-rate, at an extremely long distance, I could actually reach a domain where time doesn't yet exist!
Eventually, the time within this universe will parallel with the time outside of the universe, God’s domain. Notice, that it is at this moment when God’s domain and our domain will be ONE. For as the book of Revelation states, there will be New heavens and a New earth, and which God himself will dwell! Again, our timeline is contained within this universe. This is why when our timeline has ended, at the end of ages, there will be a new universe (new heavens). For God creates a new universe once this one has expired. Thankfully, we will be there.
