How many levels of Heaven are their?

Question

If John was taken up to the third Heaven were he saw things to explicable / great to explain.

Answer 1

The closest thing Scripture says to there being different levels of Heaven is found in 2 Corinthians 12:2, “I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know-God knows.” Some interpret this as indicating that there are three different levels of Heaven. The supposed levels of Heaven are divided into a level for "super-committed Christians" or Christians who have obtained a high level of spirituality, a level for "ordinary" Christians, and a level for Christians who did not serve God faithfully.



However, Paul is not saying that there are three heavens or even three levels of heaven. In many ancient cultures, people used the term "Heaven" to describe three different "realms" – the sky, outer space, and then a spiritual heaven. Although the terms are not specifically Biblical, these are commonly known as the terrestrial, telestial, and celestial heavens. Paul was saying that God took him to the "celestial" Heavens, as in the realm in which God dwells. The concept of different levels of Heaven is foreign to Scripture. There are different levels of reward in Heaven (1 Corinthians 9:4-27; 2 Timothy 2:5), but only one "level" of Heaven.

Answer 2

John was trying to explain spiritual things in human ways. I don't think there are levels that we need to be concerned with.

I assume you are speaking of something in Revelations. Have you considered that the day that John was in the spirit - the Lord's day-was the day of the cross and what he saw was Jesus interceding all of the wrath that would have come upon the earth. That was judgement day. Just my view I thought I would throw in there.

Answer 3

Heaven, has different levels. Heaven has 100 levels. The Highest Level in Heaven is for the Prophets, the Martyrs, and the Most Righteous of Mankind. The lowest level is for the lowest people of Mankind who barely made it to Heaven, because they were too sinful.

Answer 4

It was Paul, not John. And there are three: 1) The Sky, 2) The Stars, 3) the Throne of God.

Answer 5

don't know
but there are 9 choirs of angels, which may reflect the levels of heaven, since they all seem to have a different function and appear different from one another. For instance, the Seraphim are six-winged, many-eyed, and the Cherubim are like little babies, all innocent.

However, keep in mind: "In my Father's house, there are many mansions."

Answer 6

Apostle Paul--speaks of the Third Heaven--not John,

First Heaven would be clouds above------and sky---

second atmosphere/space containing stars/planets ect..

third Heaven-- God/Chirst=Angels-Saints.......

Answer 7

I'm a little bit confused there, With what I've read about Heaven there is only one level of heaven. Reguardless, I suggest you read "Heaven" By Randy Alcorn. It'll answer your questions on heaven.

Answer 8

Well, Christ said in his fathers house are many mansions. Maybe Muslims heaven of 100 virgin biotches is true!!! other than that there is....uuuhhh the celestial, terestial, and telestial (I think). Oh yeah and Thugz Mansion, you know Tupac's heaven. Yes almost for hell!!! hehehehe

Answer 9

From my understanding it goes like this:

Christianity - One level. People I think have pretty much explained the Bible verse and why it doesn't mean three levels of heaven.

Mormonism: Three, celestial being the best.

Answer 10

No levels, a choice of words that were taken out of context, all these books are translations, how many errors can occur in tranlation, let's not judge, let your heart tell you the truth.
