Bible Question: Is there more than one heaven? What does it mean when it says "heavens" plural? |
Bible Answer: Greetings DoggieGrace, This question has been asked many times in the Forum's past. You can look at the threads at 2 Corinthians 12:2 that answer this very same question, or you can do a Search at the right for "three heavens." Here is a post that may help you that I wrote almost a year ago... "The Scriptures make reference to the "third heaven" in 2 Cor. 12:2, which is the ineffable and glorious dwelling place of God in all His glory. It is called the "heaven of heavens" (Nehemiah 9:6 NASB) and the "highest heaven" (1 Kings 8:27; 2 Chronicles 2:6). If God's abode is the 'third' heaven, then what are the first and second heavens? Scripture gives us the answer: The first heaven is the earth's atmosphere (Job 35:5). The second heaven is the stellar universe (Genesis 1:17; Deut. 17:3).." Blessings to you, Makarios |
