The heavens are used to represent space as well as God’s throne beyond space and time.
Did you know that heaven, which I hope if we actually follow Jesus we will go there is not just a place in the clouds but a completely new earth?

“The heavens” is an archaic way of referring to the sky and everything visible up there. Also, fun fact, the Hebrew word for “heavens” in this context literally translates to *waters*. Some Biblical scholars and Creationist scientists theorize that there was a thick atmospheric layer of moisture up there (referred to as the firmament) that is no longer present today.

In the beginning of God’s creation of the heavens and the earth. (Bereshit/Genesis 1:1)
God’s creation of the heavens and the earth.
Rashi’s commentary: But it does not say “of the Lord’s creation of” (i.e., it should say “of the Lord God’s creation of” as below 2:4 “on the day that the Lord God made earth and heaven”) for in the beginning it was His intention to create it with the Divine Standard of Justice, but he perceived that the world would not endure; so He preceded it with the Divine Standard of Mercy, allying it with the Divine Standard of Justice, and that is the reason it is written:“on the day the Lord God made earth and heaven.”
