18:45 – My speculation of Hell being about 3,000 miles under the earth’s crust, and of Heaven being about 3,000 miles above earth’s crust, is based on Hesiod, a pagan poet that wrote about the Greek underworld, and whom John Milton thought was inspired by Satan himself. It is not a solid Bible teaching. Especially the part about Heaven’s location. However, if this were correct, then Heaven would be located in what astronauts call the exosphere, of course only in the spiritual realm, and completely invisible to the naked eye, being a ghostly city full of heavenly beings, into which both Elijah and Jesus Christ ascended. The exosphere is the sixth layer up from the atmosphere, which kind of supports the tradition of the Seventh Heaven. –J.B.
