Nehemiah 9:6 (ESV)
You are the Lord, you alone. You have made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them; and you preserve all of them, and the host of heaven worships you.
The THREE Heavens in our universe are not discussed extensively in the Bible and are hardly preached in our churches. When you are imparted with the Gifts of the Lord's Wisdom, Knowledge, Understanding, etc ( gifts of the Holy Spirit) - you will then start to see and understand our world from the perspective of the Lord Jesus as you continue to study and meditate the words of Bible. We are to look at these in the spiritual dimension (unseen by our naked eyes) therefore spiritually learned and understood by our spirit man/woman.
The First Heaven - is the immediate air space that is around our physical body and physical structures on planet Earth.
Genesis 1:26
Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
The Second Heaven - is the dimension between (the third) Heaven where the Holy Throne of the Lord God Almighty and Jesus AND the First Heaven. The second Heaven is the primary habitation of satan and his well-structured army of demons that is controlling the minds and hearts of non-believers, including believers who had not matured fully into Christ and pretty much most of our society. If you are wondering why our society is lacking in kindness, goodness, etc..? - it is because of this truth of our existence. Christians keep that second heaven in check most of the time. Going to another planet is not the correct solution to this issue because it is the Heart and Mind of Man (individually and collectively) that is the culprit - so wherever man is, this will continue to happen until we are one with the Lord. The very first sin of mankind is JEALOUSY/REBELLION towards our God the Father Almighty (mankind's creator) and the first sin of man is the father of all problems in our civilization including all kinds of sickness. We (mankind) were a Masterpiece of God, created in His Image and Likeness until the fall of our first parents due to the lies of satan.
God The Father Almighty redeemed us from the fall of the First Adam by sending himself as a physical being through His only Son - Jesus (Second Adam) so we can not be separated again from Him. Jesus then becomes our everything in order to live and receive our royal inheritance as sons and daughters of our Living God. When Jesus said that He is the way and the truth and the life - it is what it is wherever we are in the universe.
Ephesians 6:12 ESV
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. (please read the entire chapter of Ephesians 6 for its full context)
The Third Heaven - is where the Lord's Kingdom is gloriously established - the center of it - is the Holy Throne of the Almighty God the Father and Jesus with all the Elders, Saints, and Angels of that universe. The scripture below is only a glimpse of the Third Heaven. Hell is a different dimension/universe - below the Three Heavens and will be discussed as a separate topic someday.
Revelation 22:1-5 ESV
Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. No longer will there be anything accursed, but the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will worship him. They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. And night will be no more. They will need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever.
Our society's consciousness does not understand clearly who we are as a creation and civilization - coming from the TRUTHS of the Bible. There is an absolute TRUTH in our universe and it is all in the Bible. One of our primary challenges on this subject is the way how the Holy Book is written. The words and concepts come from a very high spiritual dimension and every time you read the scriptures, a higher revelation will be imparted unto you. And if you are consistently maturing into the mind of Christ, your understanding of the scriptures will be supernaturally growing into the realities of Heaven's Throne.
In this New Era that we are living, may we be faithful in reading and meditating the words of the Lord in order to receive the open heaven blessings of His Kingdom.
All of these I/we believe and receive in your most holy name Jesus! Amen!
