Are the Three Heavens?

Question

The bible speakes of the heavens, so is their more then one, or one paridise heaven?

or are their differant levels?

Answer 1

There are three Heaven ages like there are three earth ages.
The Bible speaks of the world that then was, speaking of the first earth age. This age was when the stones of fire that's us walked on the earth. This is way before the six and eight day creation of man in the second earth age that we currently live in. So in likewise for each earth age there are heaven ages as well.

Answer 2

Third Heaven. At 2 Corinthians 12:2-4 the apostle Paul describes one who was “caught away . . . to the third heaven” and “into paradise.” Since there is no mention in the Scriptures of any other person having had such an experience, it seems likely that this was the apostle’s own experience. Whereas some have endeavored to relate Paul’s reference to the third heaven to the early rabbinic view that there were stages of heaven, even a total of “seven heavens,” this view finds no support in the Scriptures. As we have seen, the heavens are not referred to specifically as if divided into platforms or stages, but, rather, the context must be relied upon to determine whether reference is to the heavens within earth’s atmospheric expanse, the heavens of outer space, the spiritual heavens, or something else. It therefore appears that the reference to “the third heaven” indicates the superlative degree of the rapture in which this vision was seen. Note the way words and expressions are repeated three times at Isaiah 6:3; Ezekiel 21:27; John 21:15-17; Revelation 4:8, evidently for the purpose of expressing an intensification of the quality or idea.

Answer 3

Heaven is a metaphor. Heaven is a state of mind needed to bridge the gap between the earthly and the divine. When we go to heaven we are really "going home", returning to our source. I think it is a very different kind of existence and i think it is really great - but I think it is so different than here that religions teach us a "path", so we will know how to get back when we are released from the physical existence.

There are lots of heavens. Each person's is likely unique and each one is equally correct. We will all have our own personal idea of what to do and what it will look like and it will all work just as well. Just like our avatars. No 2 the same, but each one perfectly correct.

Answer 4

There's 3 heavens.

First Heaven = This is also called the firmament or expanse of heaven. It is the heaven where the birds fly and where the clouds give rain. (Gen.1:26; 2:20; 8:2 & 1Kings 18:45)

Second Heaven = This refers to outerspace where the sun, moon and stars can be found. (Gen.22:17 & Exodus 32:13 & Joshua 10:13)

Third Heaven = The Apostle Paul tells us that the heaven of God's abode is the "third heaven." In the Old Testament this is often designated by the phrase "the heaven of heavens." (Joshua 2:11 & Psalms 11:4 & 2Corinthians 12:2 equated with v.4 = paradise)

THERE ARE TWO KINGDOMS: ONE ON EARTH AND THE OTHER ONE COMING DOWN FROM HEAVEN.

The 1st Kingdom of Heaven =
DAN.7:27 = "AND THE KINGDOM AND DOMINION, AND THE GREATNESS OF THE KINGDOM UNDER THE WHOLE HEAVEN, SHALL BE GIVEN TO THE PEOPLE OF THE SAINTS OF THE MOST HIGH, WHOSE KINGDOM IS AN EVERLASTING KINGDOM, AND ALL DOMINION SHALL SERVE AND OBEY HIM."
REV.5:10 = "AND HAST MADE US UNTO OUR GOD KINGS AND PRIESTS: AND WE SHALL REIGN ON THE EARTH."

The 2nd kingdom of Heaven =
AFTER 1,000 YEARS = A NEW HEAVEN AND NEW EARTH-HOLY CITY COMING DOWN FROM HEAVEN = REV.21:1-4; ISAIAH 65:17-25; 66:1,22 AND ETC.

SO HERE'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO---
ISAIAH 66:21; ZECH.14:9-11 = "BUILD HOUSES, PLANT VINEYARDS, EAT VINEYARDS"
ISAIAH 66:23; ZECH.14:16-19 = "WORSHIP FROM ONE NEW MOON TO ANOTHER AS ONE SABBATH TO ANOTHER"
JESUS WILL BE GIVING CITIES TO THE SAINTS INWHICH THEY WILL BE TEACHING OTHERS THE TRUE MESSAGE OF THE BIBLE = MATT.25:14-23; EZEKIEL 36:10,33; LUKE 13:26; ISAIAH 61:4
WE WON'T MARRY OR BE GIVEN UNTO MARRIAGE = MATT.22:30
BOYS AND GIRLS WILL BE PLAYING IN THE STREETS = ZECHARIAH 8:4-5,8
MEEK SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH = PSALM 37:9-11; MATT.5:5; REV.5:10

Answer 5

in a way yes you see at the time of the writings of the Bible they had no word for sky it was also called heaven so in the greek or hebrew language ( above the trees was called heaven and the cloud level was called heaven and space was called heaven and where God dwells was called heaven.) you must look at a good Bible concordance to know which heaven was spoke in a certain text.

Answer 6

I believe mormons believe there are 3 levels of heavens. I do not believe that.
It is my belief as a Bible believing Christian there is only ONE heaven--where God is, and one Hell. Even though the Bible teaches that the "road to heaven is narrow" the gift of the entrance to Heaven and eternal life is FREE--Christ paid for our lives with His. Sadly, there will be many who choose to worship a god from Kolob, rocks, buddas, trees, even themselves. In the book of John, Christ lays it out plainly:

Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

You see, you can have EVERY assurance of your salvation and everlasting life if you admit you are a sinner, ask God for forgiveness and choose Christ as your Lord and Saviour (the Christ of the Bible only). I also believe you WILL see your sons, grandparents, next door neighbors, pen-pals, childhood friends IF they are Christians. I know it can be very confusing since there are those who label themselves Christians without knowing the truth. But, the "truth will set you free". I encourage you to read the four Gospels for reassurance (or to know the truth so you can make an informed decision for yourself if you haven't accepted Christ). I prefer the NIV version since it replaces the "thees & thous" with todays words--just easier to understand since we were't around in the 16th centrury to "get" the King James lingo

Answer 7

heavens have to be realized with in ones own self. There are no heavens in the skies or else where.LOVE-BOND truly defines the heavens here there and every where.

Answer 8

All christian mythology is just a rahash of previously existing religions (look up the name Mithras if you disagree).

The christian fable of "heaven, purgatory, and hell" is nothing more than an adaptation of Hades from Greek and Roman mythology: one place for "good people", one for "so-so people, and one for "bad people".
