THE HEAVEN AND HEAVEN OF THE HEAVENS

There were the heavens and the earth that were life sustaining before the flood as man that was made to live forever lived near 1000 years after the imperfections of sin came to be. This has to be restored Isa.45:18; 65:17; 66:1,22,23;
Job.26:7; He hangeth the earth upon nothing. Gen.1:20; The fowl fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
Psm.68:4:17,33;
King David did not cramp any space for his God Jah and all his angels. Rev.5:11;
2Chr.2:5,6;
Solomon building a temple for the name of God, was to build it great for a Great God that the heaven and heaven of the heavens cannot contain him.

2Cor.12:2,4; Paul said,"Jesus was caught up to the third heaven into the paradise of God.

Rev.3:12; 21:5;
The new Jerusalem is to come down out of heaven from God to make all new.
Rev.2:7; The paradise of God is to be again. All was perfect to Eden and all LOST is
to be SAVED and perfect again. 2Pet.3:13;

7 HEAVENS:

(1). Heavens of earth’s atmosphere:
“The heaven(s)” may apply to the full range of earth’s atmosphere in which dew and frost form (Ge 27:28; Job 38:29), the birds fly (De 4:17; Pr 30:19; Mt 6:26), the winds blow (Ps 78:26), lightning flashes (Lu 17:24), and the clouds float and drop their rain, snow, or hailstones (Jos 10:11; 1Ki 18:45; Isa 55:10; Ac 14:17). “The sky” is sometimes meant, that is, the apparent or visual dome or vault arching over the earth.—Mt 16:1-3; Ac 1:10, 11.
(2). Outer space:
The physical “heavens” extend through earth’s atmosphere and beyond to the regions of outer space with their stellar bodies, “all the army of the heavens”—sun, moon, stars, and constellations. (De 4:19; Isa 13:10; 1Co 15:40, 41; Heb 11:12) The first verse of the Bible describes the creation of such starry heavens prior to the development of earth for human habitation. (Ge 1:1)
(3). “Midheaven” and ‘extremities of heavens.’:
The expression “midheaven” applies to the region within earth’s expanse of atmosphere where birds, such as the eagle, fly. (Re 8:13; 14:6; 19:17; De 4:11 [Heb., “heart of the heavens”]) Somewhat similar is the expression “between the earth and the heavens.” (1Ch 21:16; 2Sa 18:9)

(4). and ‘extremities of heavens.’:
Similarly “from the four extremities of the heavens” apparently refers to four points of the compass, thus indicating a coverage of the four quarters of the earth. (Jer 49:36; compare Da 8:8; 11:4; Mt 24:31; Mr 13:27.) As the heavens surround the earth on all sides, Jehovah’s vision of everything “under the whole heavens” embraces all the globe.—Job 28:24.

(5). The cloudy skies:
Another term, the Hebrew sha´chaq, is also used to refer to the “skies” or their clouds. (De 33:26; Pr 3:20; Isa 45:8) This word has the root meaning of something beaten fine or pulverized, as the “film of dust” (sha´chaq) at Isaiah 40:15.

(6). “Heavens of the heavens.”:
The expression “heavens of the heavens” is considered to refer to the highest heavens and would embrace the complete extent of the physical heavens, however vast, since the heavens extend out from the earth in all directions.—De 10:14; Ne 9:6.

(7). Spiritual Heavens. The same original-language words used for the physical heavens are also applied to the spiritual heavens. As has been seen, Jehovah God does not reside in the physical heavens, being a Spirit. However, since he is “the High and Lofty One” who resides in “the height” (Isa 57:15), the basic sense of that which is “lifted up” or “lofty” expressed in the Hebrew-language word makes it appropriate to describe God’s “lofty abode of holiness and beauty.” (Isa 63:15; Ps 33:13, 14; 115:3) As the Maker of the physical heavens (Ge 14:19; Ps 33:6), Jehovah is also their Owner. (Ps 115:15, 16) Whatever is his pleasure to do in them, he does, including miraculous acts.—Ps 135:6.
In many texts, therefore, the “heavens” stand for God himself and his sovereign position. His throne is in the heavens, that is, in the spirit realm over which he also rules. (Ps 103:19-21; 2Ch 20:6; Mt 23:22; Ac 7:49)

I think it only speaks of 3: 1) the blue sky, 2) outer space, and 3) the Heaven of Heavens.

Revelation 21:1-3
1And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.


so there are 2, the first (which was currupted by adam) and the second which will be ruled by the messiah from the new Jerusalem

1 heaven like the place. When it says 'heavens' it is refering to the sky.

There are seven. Why do you ask.
There are only three hells. But each hell is bigger than all the heavens put together.

"So it is appointed unto most men to go to hell, and there be in torment."
