Why would it be the tradition of Christians to turn East in prayer when God's Word teaches that heaven is located in the northern part of the universe, pointing from Earth?

."For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend in to heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High." (Isaiah 14: 13,14).

[Mad Dawg]

It seems to me that that text shows only that the pagans, esp the King of Babylon thought something like that.
