Rev 12:2 -the third heaven(sky,space,heaven itself) same as paradise -Rev 12:4 ?

Answer 1

Revelation 12:1-4 reads:And a great sign was seen in heaven, a woman arrayed with the sun, and the moon was beneath her feet, and on her head was a crown of twelve stars, 2 and she was pregnant. And she cries out in her pains and in her agony to give birth.
3 And another sign was seen in heaven, and, look! a great fiery-colored dragon, with seven heads and ten horns and upon its heads seven diadems; 4 and its tail drags a third of the stars of heaven, and it hurled them down to the earth. And the dragon kept standing before the woman who was about to give birth, that, when she did give birth, it might devour her child.
These are not the verses that refer to a third heaven.
The book of Revelation is highly symbolic and this is a condensed explanation of these verses. The woman, is the same woman spoken of at Genesis 3:15, whose seed would eventually bruise the serpent (Satan the devil) in the head. A fatal blow. The dragon is Satan who tries to destroy this seed (principally Jesus Christ) at it's birth. The third of the stars that were dragged to the earth are the spirit angels who aligned themselves with Satan.

Answer 2

The first heaven is the atmosphere of our earth.
The second heaven is space outside of our atmosphere, surrounding our planet.

Satan is the ruler of heavens one and two.

He is called " the prince of the power of the air", Ephesians 2:2.

Also, Ephesians 6:12, states: "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."

The third heaven is heaven or paradise and has been described by Stephen, Acts 7:55 and 56, the Apostle Paul, 2 Corinthians 12:2-5, and St. John in Revelation.

I hope this helps.
