In your otherwise excellent posting I would disagree with this concluding statement. Jesus clearly said...."My kingdom is not of this world". If you read the following verses of Hebrews 12:18.....I see a couple of red flags. ( btw....you actually quoted v. 22 and not verse 18) v. 22 continued....'thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly'? If this had been an actual physical location this must certainly would not be the only mention of it in scripture. Secondly....v.23.....'to the spirits of righteous men made perfect'...….to perceive the spirits as such they would have to be in the spiritual rather than the material world.
