"The Kingdom of Heaven is the Kingdom of, or out of heaven. There is perhaps no subject in the Bible about which there is such shallow thinking, such dullness of understanding, and so many distorted notions, as the subject of heaven. Where is heaven? What is heaven? Is it a place? Is it a planet? Is it a galaxy? Is it beyond the stars? Is it a condition of life? Is it a different dimension of living? If our very Father is in heaven, then we ought to know something about heaven, for it is the source of our life, the realm of our origin. We know this because the Father who begat us dwells in heaven; therefore we are out of heaven and from heaven. If He is our Father and heaven is His natural environment, His habitat, we should understand what that realm is really like."

Heaven is going to the DMV, looking at a sign that says "Average wait time is 10 minutes" and 9 minutes later you are out in your car ready to go.
In other words, Heaven isn't getting the results you expected, but the results you get are those that exceed your expectations.
That keeps the door open for the possibility of discovery.
Like, winning.
I'm talking about an actual realm though. Is winning a realm? A realm is a kingdom.
It's not winning, though.
Winning means there needs to be a race.
I guess if I were to sum it up, Heaven is just Earth but when someone tells you something, they aren't trying to scam you.
Imagine if everyone was just honest and not trying to manipulate you. They truthfully wished to share their talents and experience with people and they didn't over or undersell what they offered.
To me, Heaven on Earth is everyone keeping their Word and never having to worry about lies, deception, or manipulation ever again.
