22...He that endureth to the end shall be saved. -Matthew 10:22 Bible, King James Version
Enjoying the Kingdom of Heaven in this life or the afterlife is a state of mind or state of consciousness on a moment to moment basis therefore we need to maintain this until the end of our mortal life so when we pass over to the Spirit World this state of consciouness will manifest as a Heaven. Before Jesus began His mission in Jerusalem He visited and taught in other countries including the city of Kapivastu in Nepal, India.

CHAPTER 33.
1In silent meditation Jesus sat beside a flowing spring. It was a holy day, and many people of the servant caste were near the place. 7The man replied, Of heaven we have heard; but then it is so far away, and we must live so many lives before we reach that place! 8And Jesus said, My brother, man, your thoughts are wrong; your heaven is not far away; ...it is a state of mind. 10...Just open up the windows of your hearts, and, like a flood of light, a heaven will come and bring a boundless joy... 11The people were amazed, and gathered close to hear this strange young master speak

154. XVII. CHANGES OF STATE OF THE ANGELS IN HEAVEN.
By changes of state of angels their changes in respect to love and faith, and wisdom and intelligence therefrom, are meant, thus their changes in respect to states of life... 155. Angels are not constantly in the same state in respect to love, and in consequence in the same state in respect to wisdom; for all their wisdom is from their love and in accordance with their love. Sometimes they are in a state of intense love, sometimes in a state of love not so intense. The state decreases by degrees from its greatest degree to its least. When in their greatest degree of love they are in the light and warmth of their life, or in a clear and delightful state; but in their least degree they are in shade and cold, or in an obscure and undelightful state. From this last state they return again to the first, and so on, these alternations following one after another with variety.
