This is one that people often misunderstand. They believe heaven to be a "material" place. To me this is absurd. We are not the bodies we are living in. These bodies, as the new testament points out, are like tents and our souls inhabit these tents. Our are souls/spirits are what we truly are. For this reason, heaven is not a materialistic place of the fabled milk and honey. Heaven is the term used to describe our ultimate goal in life. That being to find our way back to God, our Father. Everyone who believes in God, knows He is everywhere (omnipresent). With that being said, "who art in heaven," would imply that everywhere is heaven, right? God is not a physical being, I know he could manifest as one but that is not the point. When the bible states we are mad in His image, it is referring to the spiritual us, our souls. And for us to find our way back to God we must 1st realize this and then live our lives accordingly. For no one will make it back to God by living a materialistic life, for it is contrary to what God is and what heaven represents.
