Heaven
In the Holy Bible the term heaven denotes, in the first place, the blue firmament, or the region of
the clouds that pass along the sky. Gen., i, 20, speaks of the birds "under the firmament of
heaven". In other passages it denotes the region of the stars that shine in the sky.
Furthermore heaven is spoken of as the dwelling of God; for, although God is omnipresent, He
manifests Himself in a special manner in the light and grandeur of the firmament.
