So God's castle is no longer in our upper atmosphere? A bunch of elderly men in red uniforms decided that he suddenly lives "on top of the universe"?? What the hell does that even mean? "On top of the universe"?

Psalm 48:2
Beautiful in elevation,The joy of the whole earth, Is Mount Zion on the sides of the north, The city of the great King.
Isaiah 14:13
For you have said in your heart: ‘ I will ascend into Heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation on the farthest sides of the north;
Mount Zion is another name for Third Heaven (God's abode). Every reference about where Heaven is denotes that it is "northward" relative to this earth.

God's throne has never been in our atmosphere, it has always been where it is.

The Semites who wrote that way back when had no idea that space is what was above the atmosphere.
JIA, where do you believe God resides? In an alternate dimension, or here on this planet.

In Heaven above.
Deuteronomy 4:39
Therefore know this day, and consider it in your heart, that the LORD Himself is God in Heaven above and on the earth beneath; there is no other.

No, not in the paradisaical sense that third Heaven is. Space (just like our atmosphere) is referred to as heaven, but that simply means that it is a great expanse.

How do you know it's referring to space? Much the less, the people who wrote that some odd 2,000 years ago?
