It depends on what school of Christian theology your a part of.
One camp says Heaven and Hell are real places. The other that both realms are immaterial. I take it you're in the second camp, so I'll try to explain some theology for that ass.
God encompasses the entirety of the universe, he is not outside it. The Bible does not mention that God is outside our realm waiting for us. What it does mention that God is omnipresent, meaning everywhere at once, including our living universe. He is not there and then here. He is everywhere.
With that being said, your claim that god is supra/supernatural, meaning outside of our Universe is wrong. You are making the theologically wrong assumption that god is a singular being.

Then how do you reconcile Jesus words.
John 16:25 “I have spoken these things to you in comparisons. The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in comparisons, but I will tell you plainly about the Father. 26 In that day you will make request of the Father in my name; in saying this, I do not mean that I will make request for you. 27 For the Father himself has affection for you, because you have had affection for me+ and have believed that I came as God’s representative.+ 28 I came as the Father’s representative and have come into the world. Now I am leaving the world and am going to the Father.”+
Jesus came into the physical world leaving the realm of his father the creator.
He then goes back to his father after his redirection to a spirit being.
Two different realms , one physical , one immaterial.
