Heaven

**Heaven**, also known as the **Heavens**, the **Seven Heavens**, **High Heavens**, the **High Place**, **Celestia**, **Paradise** or **Paradiso**, is the most holiest of the realms created and ruled by God as a cosmological or transcendent place from which heavenly beings originate, are enthroned or inhabit commonly written in religious works.

## Overview

It is an ageless, ethereal, holy realm created by God, intended to be the home-realm for both himself and his children, as well as a few selected pagan deities and supernatural beings.

It is normally believed that divine beings can descend to earth or incarnate through avatars, and that earthly beings can ascend to heaven in the afterlife or, in exceptional cases, enter heaven alive, as was the case with Enoch and Elijah. Yesh created the kingdom of Heaven as a multiverse for Him to rule alongside His messengers and angels. Shortly after the creation of mankind, Paradise became a final resting place for good humans. Heaven is the opposite kingdom to hell, where injustice prevails instead of justice, after all, it is in Hell where everyone pays for the crimes they commit during their lives, not in Heaven or on Earth.

Heaven is often described as a "high place", the purest, holiest and most divine place in the entire alpha multiverse, a veritable infinite Paradise composed of seven dimensional layers, in contrast to Hell, the "low places", and accessible universally or conditionally by earth beings according to various standards of divinity, goodness, piety, faith or other virtues or right beliefs or simply the Will of God.

Some believe in the possibility of a Heaven on Earth in a World to Come, as it was in the Garden of Eden when Heaven and Earth were one. The center of Heaven is the New Jerusalem, and it is said that it can only be reached through Salvation through Christ's mercy, not by works (for no one is truly good but God), not by faith (for even Satan and his demons believe in God and His existence) and not by money (because salvation cannot and does not need to be bought; salvation is free, that's why it's called grace, undeserved favor), just by the pure grace and mercy of Jesus Christ.

## Description

Heaven is described primarily in physical terms as a place where every wish is immediately fulfilled when asked to those whom are deemed worthy of entering. It is even stated in various texts that immortal life in Heaven as happy, without negative emotions. Those who dwell in Heaven are said to wear costly apparel, partake in exquisite banquets, and recline on couches inlaid with gold or precious stones. Inhabitants will rejoice in the company of their parents, spouses, and children.

In order to be worthy to enter Paradise, one's good deeds must weigh out one's sins, and only then one may gain entrance to Heaven. Conversely, if one's sins outweigh their good deeds they are sent to Hell. The more good deeds one has performed the higher the level of Heaven one is directed to. It has been said that the lowest level of Heaven, the first one, is already over one-hundred times better than the greatest life on Earth. The highest level is the seventh Heaven. Houses are built by angels for the occupants using solid gold. The angels would even aid in altering the soul's desired wish if the soul wishes it to be.

There is absolutely no crime, evil, sin, or temptation whatsoever in Heaven as it is completely devoid of any negativity. Many demons fear the inhabitants of Heaven, more specifically God and his angels and will flee from them on sight. A demon stated that for them to raid Heaven would be complete madness and suicide, and even went as far as to say that the demons are not that depraved. However, entities such as Lucifer and Satan can enter Heaven as they were once inhabitants within Paradise.
