People say some fables are based on real events or lessons, but I believe they never reveal the true story behind heaven.

You people always take things as a joke in this space, but these are matters we should reflect on, share ideas, and learn from. Instead of dismissing them, we should have meaningful discussions that broaden our understanding.

Which heaven?

The concept of heaven was developed when the people thought (misconception) the earth was flat and has a layer above it (heaven) which happenings in it was concealed from the earth by the firmament.

Does that mean you're not a Christian or you don't read Bible
Genesis 3:24 – After Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden: After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.

I heard Heaven is often described as the throne of God, where He rules over creation.The Lord has established His throne in heaven, and His kingdom rules over all. (Psalm 103:19) Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool.” (Isaiah 66:1)

I think it was define based on different beliefs
My own Perspective: Many religious traditions describe heaven as a divine realm where God or gods reside, often depicted as being above the earth or in another spiritual dimension beyond human comprehension

Verses in the Bible where angels appear with swords, have mentioned one up there, Numbers 22:23, 1 Chronicles 21:16, but Genesis 3:24 is the most direct reference to an angelic flaming sword.

hmmm

Different beliefs and perspectives define the same concept and location differently. Is there anything missing?

Almost all religions acknowledge the existence of a second heaven, including traditional worshippers, Muslims, and various Christian denominations, except for Jehovah's Witnesses, who have a different perspective. Even traditional African religions recognize multiple spiritual realms. This widespread belief across different faiths raises intriguing questions about the nature of the heavens and why such a concept is so deeply embedded in human spirituality. It also brings up the possibility that these perspectives might be shaped by cultural, historical, and theological influences rather than just doctrinal differences. What do you think?

That’s an interesting observation, but who truly knows or has seen Jesus, Mary, David, Solomon, Yahweh, or even the angels with those descriptions? History and art have shaped these images, but are they accurate, or just cultural interpretations?

You do err not having understanding.

You cannot view spiritual things with human logic. You will fail all the time.

Angels are depicted as carrying swords to show their divine protection and authority.

Just as Christians are encouraged to carry their swords (bible, which is God's unfailing word).

The Bible talks about the sword of the spirit which is the word of God.

Isn't about been to heaven, But if we’re discussing angels bearing swords, the idea comes from religious texts and artistic depictions, not personal experience. Whether you see it as fable or faith depends on your perspective.

You're right. Both the Holy Bible and the Quran are stories, just like the story of mankind’s existence, the creation of the earth, and even the beliefs of traditional worshippers about their origins. In the end, history, religion, and even science are built on stories, some written, some spoken, and some still unfolding.
