The third heaven is where God lives - Paradise. As we saw earlier
this is the third heaven.

Behold, to the LORD your God belong heaven and the highest heavens
. . . (NASB) Deuteronomy 10:14
But who is able to build a house for Him, for the heavens and
the highest heavens cannot contain Him? (NASB) 2 Chronicles 2:6
(A Song of Ascents.) To Thee I lift up my eyes, O Thou who art
enthroned in the heavens! (NASB) Psalm 123:1
. . . --such a man was caught up to the third heaven. And I know
how such a man--whether in the body or apart from the body I do
not know, God knows--was caught up into Paradise, and heard inexpressible
words, which a man is not permitted to speak. (NASB) 2 Corinthians
12:2-4 |
Conclusion: Are there more heavens? Scripture does not say and so we do not
know. Usually, when we talk about heaven we are referring to the
heaven where God dwells. Some day God will destroy the old heavens
(apparently all the heavens, except the third one) and earth and
create a new heaven and a new earth. This is where we will live.

And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and
the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea. And
I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven
from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband. And I
heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, "Behold, the tabernacle
of God is among men, and He shall dwell among them, and they shall
be His people, and God Himself shall be among them, and He shall
wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there shall no longer
be any death; there shall no longer be any mourning, or crying,
or pain; the first things have passed away. (NASB) Revelation
21:1-4 |
Praise the Lord. Jesus come quickly. |
