Question
I read once that the astronomers (when exploring the universe with telescopes) in the north sky saw a ligh which they say can not come from a star neither a pulsar, the ligh is just there and they don't know for sure what to make out of it.
So my question is:
Is that true?
Could  that possible be Heaven?
Any feedback will be really appreciated.


Answer
 Hello, Hector.  I take it you are Mexican, or Latino?  My Brother's wife & family are Mexican.  Hola!

 I have never heard of an unknown light in space.  I do not know if that is true.  I do know this:  There are at least 3 "heavens" spoken of in The Bible.  The first "heaven" is the sky, where we fly planes, and where birds fly.

 Genesis 7:23 "And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark."   

 This verse mentions "the fowl of the heaven".

 Then there is the second heaven, or outer space.

Gen 1:14-19 "And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:  And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.  
And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.  And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,  And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.  And the evening and the morning were the fourth day."

 Then their is the third heaven, which is Heaven.


 2 Corinthians 12:1-2 "It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.  I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven."  

Matthew 18:3 "And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven."

Matthew 18:19 "Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven."

Matthew 23:22 "And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon."


 Now this third heaven--Heaven--we can not enter until our bodies die.  And if we are Saved(Trust Jesus Christ as our Saviour, without any works of our own), then when we die, we will "wake up" in Heaven.

 Since the 1st heaven(sky) is above us, no matter where we are on Earth, and the 2nd heaven(outer space) is above us, no matter where we are on Earth.  Then I would guess that the third heaven is outside of our Universe.  We will never get to it, unless He takes us, in death, or in Rapture--the catching away of the saints.

 God will not let us see Heaven until we die.

 1 Corinthians 2:9 "But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him."

 If man COULD see the light of Heaven, then he could use a telescope to watch the events of Heaven.  That, God will not allow.  We do not know everything about the Universe.  If there really is a light, and they have not figured out what it is yet, they probably will later.  Astronomers find new things in space, and make errors, too.

 God would not allow His Heaven to be invaded by the eyes of scientists.  In The Bible, He chose when to allow a person to view Heaven, such as John, or Steven.  

 Thank you for the question Hector.  Feel free to ask again, any time you wish.  Gracias!  Adios! (That is Spanish for Ciao!)
