There are more than one heaven. Gen In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Some Bible versions have got Gen wrong.
See Bible translations and the most accurate Bible version. See that Gen and Gen are in agreement with one another talking of heavens many. In some Bible versions, these two verses are not in agreement. Gen These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens. Det Give ear, O you heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth. Job Which alone spreads out the heavens, and treads upon the waves of the sea.
Psalms The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows his handiwork. Hag For thus says the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land.
Mk And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him. There are 3 heavens. We see Apostle Paul saying that he knew a man in Christ caught up in the third heaven. It is where birds and clouds are. Deut The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season. Judges LORD, when you went out of Seir, when you marched out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, the clouds also dropped water.
The context of this passage it that Paul is defending his apostleship. In Ch. It occurs 17 times. It is clear from v. Heavens are seven, get it from the book of Enoch a man who walked with heavenly host, and was caught up to the seventh heaven…. Thanks for the comment Nyoni. There is no Scriptural support for the idea that God created seven heavens — the book of Enoch is extra-biblical. The Book of Enoch is a fallible historical document. The book is a pseudepigraphal falsely attributed, whose claimed authorship is unfounded text that is attributed Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah Genesis I have never understood why people are so closed minded about other peoples beliefs.
Thanks for your contribution Dale. God bless you all for your contribution on the topic But permit me to ask this, where is the place of the demon on air? God bless you. Thanks for the comment Opatile.
The mind of man is the highth heaven jesus desceded to the lowest an ascended to the height heavens spiritual not physically. The Bible says that Jesus descended to earth from the third heaven the abode of God and that He ascended back to the third heaven Eph. Where does this idea come from? John 14; What about a reference to kobol? I think the story goes that Kobol was suppose to exist in the first period of creation or was a star or celestial body closest to God or Heaven.
Where does this originate from? Kolob is a star or planet described in Mormon scripture as being the heavenly body nearest to the throne of God. Mormons have interpreted this literally and metaphorically. Although Mormons claim this book was translated from an Egyptian papyrus scroll, there is no evidence to support this. Kolob is also the inspiration for the planet Kobol within the Battlestar Galactica universe, created by Glen A. Larson, a Mormon. And Mormonism teaches three heavenly kingdoms as the eternal destiny of most humans celestial, terrestrial, and telestial , which is also inconsistent with the Bible.
There is a fourth heaven spoken of in Scripture. Two of these are physical the atmosphere, and the universe of stars and galaxies , and one spiritual where God dwells. This says that people will occupy this paradise — those who are victorious or overcomers. Because of this, I think that your second and third heavens are equivalent.
