AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Corinthians 12:2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago--whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know, [only] God knows--such a man was caught up to the third heaven. [Luke 23:43] |
Bible Question: Are there different "degrees" of heaven and hell?(2Cor 12:2..Eph.4:9-10) |
Bible Answer: In scriptural cosmology, the first heaven is the earth's atmosphere, the second heaven (Genesis 1:14) is the stars in the vault above the earth and the third heaven is the place where God dwells. Hell is sheol or Gehenna, but the word often translated as hell was the Greek word hades which was the place of the dead, both the just and the unjust who were thought to be in different parts of hades. This can bee seen in the Parable of Lazarus and the rich man. Emmaus |
