I don’t know of a better place to look for a description of Heaven than the Bible.
________________
Bible Verse: John 14:2-3
Heaven has mansions where we will dwell with Jesus.
Bible Verse: John 14:2-3
“In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also”
Bible Verse: Revelation 7:15-17
“Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple. And He who sits on the throne will dwell among them. They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any heat; for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes”
“When we’ve been there ten thousand years, bright shining as the sun, we’ve no less days to sing God’s praise than when we’d first begun.”
________________
Bible Verse: Revelation 21:19-20
“The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all kinds of precious stones: the first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst”
Bible Verse: Revelation 21:21
“The twelve gates were twelve pearls: each individual gate was of one pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass”
________________
It goes on to speak of Heaven not needing a sun or moon. In my mind this is because it is not if this realm, and does not operate by our physics.
________________
Bible Verse: Revelation 21:23-25
“The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light. And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it. Its gates shall not be shut at all by day (there shall be no night there)”

Heaven is not all one big nothingness without structure. And to me, it is not fiction either. This is where faith must work in your life. You have enough knowledge now, and there is enough information literally at your fingertips to help you discover enough to help you build a strong foundation of faith within you. Seek and you shall find. There is actually a wonderful structure with great purpose. Think of it as having layers. These layers are called dimensions. (see section on dimensions).

Bible Verse: Matthew 7:7-8
“Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye. shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh. findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.”

The bible speaks of dimensions using the words like breadth, length, height, and depth.
________________
Bible Verse: Ephesians 3:18-19
“May have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.”
________________
A few examples of the use of the word Depth:
Matthew 13:5; Mark 4:5 – seed had no depth
Luke 5:14 – launch the boat into the deep (water)
Romans 8:39 – nor height nor depth … can separate us from the love of God
Romans 11:33 – O, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God
1 Corinthians 2:10 – the Spirit searches the deep things of God
2 Corinthians 8:2 – their abundance of joy and their deep poverty overflowed in the wealth of their liberality
Revelation 2:24 – the depths of Satan
Each dimension has a different vibration and a different purpose in ultimately helping your Higher-Self continue to ascend. The more your light Being (Spirit or Higher Self) ascends (gains knowledge and advances spiritually) the higher advancement is made through the dimensions and ultimately toward God.
As you live your life on earth and learn and ascend, your Higher-Self (hopefully 🙂 advances in the dimensions. You might wonder about timing. Think of one of your lives on earth as being a blink of an eye to your Higher-Self. The average person blinks more than 23,000 times in one day. Can you imagine if each of those was a lifetime?
Heaven is not on the same time as we are on Earth. Earth time is known as linear time. We think of everything as having a start and end time. Events are either in the past, present of future time. Heaven is more circular. Events happen all at the same time. Think of it as a wheel with spokes. You can travel to any point in time you wish. You are not going “back” in time, but simply going “to” that time on the wheel. This is one of the tougher concepts for our earth minds to understand.
Think of Heaven in connection with eternity. It is limitless. Things go on forever. Your energy never stops existing. You simply learn and grow (or ascend). There is far too much for us to even comprehend. There are billions of galaxies, planets, and dimensions. So much to learn and so many places to go. Free your mind. Relax and believe in the knowing that you are eternal.
Hear the Bible verse is speaking of the infinity of Heaven. Interestingly it also references heaven and higher heaven. Realms or dimensions perhaps?

Bible Verse: Kings 8:27
“But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain You, how much less this house which I have built!”
________________
How about the word unsearchable here? To me, when referencing the size of something and calling it unsearchable means it is too vast to search.
________________
Bible Verse: Psalm 145:3
“Great is the Lord, and highly to be praised, And His greatness is unsearchable.”

Is heaven Up? Not physically. It is higher in vibration. From my learning and in my view, the next dimension is actually vibrating at what you might considered to be about (3) feet off the ground. Some people think the difference between one dimension and the other is even less than that. They think it is just a fraction away from your nose. It is like changing the channel on a dial ever so slightly. But if you are not in the same vibration, it might as well me a galaxy away.
Ever hear of Heaven on earth. Catching a glimpse of this can be exciting. The natural feeling of euphoria you might that is so rare, it happens only once in a lifetime… unless you actually work on your vibration, your outlook, and your inner-self.
Keep in mind that science usually is far behind spirituality. It is VERY hard to prove a lot of this. That is why people can feel the answer in their intuitive gut long before science can prove it. Slowly, however, scientist are embracing these concepts.
Much of this is first proposed as a theory and later proof is found. There are many concepts science supports today that they did not in the near past. Learn to trust your intuition and your own internal process of discovery. Keep your mind open and allowing.
Interesting Reading:
The Language of God, Francis Collins, among many accolades, Director of the National Institutes of Health and director of the Human Genome Project (one of histories biggest research projects), winner of the $1.3 million Templeton Prize.
Collins declares that he sees no incompatibility between science and religion. “The God of the Bible is also the God of the genome”, he wrote.
“He can be worshiped in the cathedral or in the laboratory.“ added Collins.
