Paul,

            I agree with the reply that was given on the web site. If heaven did need to be cleansed, then why would it still yet be left defiled? Eliphaz the Temanite, who used incorrect doctrine when rebuking Job, had said:

Job 15:15 Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight.

Yet Habakkuk said:

Habakkuk 1:13 Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he?

If Jesus could cleanse lepers:

Matthew 8:3 And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

then how could heaven be unclean? And if virtue went out of him and to the woman with the issue of blood that touched him,

then why would his virtue not make heaven perfect, either?

While he was here on earth, he could say:

Matthew 12:6 But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple.

Yes, the temple could be defiled, but what is the only thing that made it really holy? Was it not the presence of the Holy One, himself?

Now if the following is so for children:

I Corinthians 7:14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.

Then how much more so for heaven itself?

That very presence of the Holy One on the throne, the same one who healed the leper, to whom the four beast cry, Holy, holy, holy:

would not that very presence of he that is perfectly and infinitely holy, mean that heaven is clean and holy?

When the LORD appeared to Moses, then later to Joshua, and told them to take off their shoes, because the ground where they stood was holy ground,

was that because of special properties of the dirt and dust? No. Was it because the ground had been subjected to some elaborate cleansing ritual? No.

The ground was holy, simply because the Holy One, himself was there.

btw:

Romans 14:14 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
