Review
Part 1 - we talked about “The Curtain Of Time”, the short span of time between birth and death that was allotted to all humans.
Part 2 - we talked about “When The Curtain Drops - What’s Next?”, and how we must prepare for our destination beyond the grave, when death finally comes to us.
What is part 3 all about?
We will explore the heavenly realm, discover what we will see when we get there, and learn how we will get there.
The Heavens - three uses of the word “heaven”
Etymology: Heaven
Hebrew word - samayim
many times written in the plural
Heaven No. 1 - the sky
The first heaven is the space above us that we call sky or atmosphere.
This is the heaven from which comes the rain, the wind, snow, thunder and lighting, and where the birds fly.
Heaven No. 2 - outer space, or stellar space
The stellar space is the space beyond the earth’s atmosphere, about 300 km from the earth.
To the ordinary person who lived in Bible days, there is no difference between the first and the second heaven.
Whenever they look up they only one heaven.
Heaven No. 3 - the abode of God
Various descriptions of the third heaven
It is called the “highest heavens” or the “heaven of heavens”
It is also called the “third heaven”
It is also called “Paradise”
Not a Physical place
The third heaven is a spiritual realm (the first 2 heavens are physical and material)
The third heaven is not above or higher than the first and second; it is parallel to the physical world.
Scientific term: Multiverse, or parallel universe
There are least 2 universes: the physical realm and the spiritual realm
Draw and illustration here
on the left side - the earth, the atmosphere and the outer space
on the right side - the third heaven, with a throne
The Heavenly Places
Etymology: heavenly places
heavenlies = Grk.
epouranios
Adjective, pertaining or relating to heaven
Heavenly places is a broader term.
It is the place of our spiritual blessing in Christ
It is the place where Christ is seated at the right hand of God
It is also the place where we - the saints - are seated with Christ
It is the place where demonic forces move about
ILLUSTRATION: the heavenly places
on the left side, the physical world
on the right side, the heavenly places which include, “heaven”, "sheol”, a place for demonic spirits, the pit
How is the “heavenly places” different from the “heaven”?
Lucifer, who is now Satan, was removed from heaven
And yet, Satan and his host continue to move around in the heavenly places.
His next fall is prophesied in Revelation
The Present Realities in Heaven
God rules from heaven
The heavens is defiled!
Evil spirits move in the heavenly places
Battles may be going on anytime in the heavenly places
God has appointed a time to cleanse the heavenly places
Why is there going to be a shaking of the heavens?
God’s allotted time for Satan will soon be over.
God is claiming heaven and earth for His people who are coming home!
The Citizen’s of heaven are coming home!
We are citizen’s of heaven
By “new birth” you have entered and become part of the Kingdom of God
The Holy Spirit is the guarantee we have from God
We are waiting for our final translation!
Conclusion
Paul was given a privilege to be caught up to the third heaven.
What did this experience do to him?
That is the thing worth boasting, not one’s earthly standing!
