Do you bring heaven with you?

According to Emmanuel Swedenborg in his book concerning heaven and hell, Emmanuel explains that Jesus, the Father of this heaven and earth, is responsible for creating heaven.  As light and purity emanates from Jesus, heaven is created in the space surrounding our savior.  All the angels receive a portion of heaven directly from Jesus.  If Jesus visits a new place, He brings heaven with Him, wherever He goes.   

When Jesus returns to this earth and dwells among the righteous followers, heaven will be created here on earth.  That place will be called Zion.  All the earth will be consumed in death, chaos, war and commotion.  People will find themselves fleeing towards safety and the only place of refuge remaining will be known as Zion.  The survivors of that day will flock to the holy city, where Jesus will be.  What are the requirements for entrance into His city?  We must be like Him: patient, kind, and longsuffering.  

Do you take heaven with you, where you go?  Does you home feel like heaven when you are there?
