The Heavenly Country is not of this world, for those who dwell with God will not dwell in places of old and in places which passes away.
"I pray from them, I do not pray for
the world, but for those whom You have
given me, for they are Yours.
And all Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine,
and I am glorified in them.
Now, I am no longer in the world, but these
in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father
keep through Your name those whom You have given Me
that they may be one as We are."
--John 17:9-11 NKJV
