The Scriptures are fairly clear on this. Throughout the Bible, whenever God’s people were standing on the building site (Canaan), God was called the “God of heaven and earth.” But whenever God’s people were taken out of the building site, He was simply called “the God of heaven” (Gen. 14:1–19; Josh. 3:11–13; Ezra 1:2; 7:12, 21, 23; Neh. 1:4–5; 2:4; Dan. 2:18, 28; Matt. 11:25).
