That's a skimming of the meaning which matches the unthinking believer. The bible goes on about heaven being right here and right now. To get to heaven you need to be right with God, which by definition is living in heaven. To say that some future event is definitely going to happen is beyond your knowledge surely. Better focus on living a great life in order to get there I'd say.
