Hey guys, Some of you,
well, if you study the Bible as we all should, probably came across this interesting Bible verse.
[2 Corinthians 12:2]
Now, some people get a bit confused here, because does that mean that there's a third heaven?
Because we only know about the heaven where God the Father is,
Jesus Christ, sitting on the throne. On the right hand of God the Father,
the angels we know about that. We also know that God will create
the new heaven and the new earth at the end of the age.
[Revelation 21:1]
[Revelation 21:5]
So, what exactly is this third heaven that Paul is talking about in Two Corinthians?
Some of you don't say two Corinthians - some of you say second Corinthians.
You know, I've even received an email where people's like Daniel... you're
preaching false lies and because you don't say things the way you should.
It's not two Corinthians, it's second Corinthians.
Well, whatever you want to call it, in the book of two Corinthians, Paul said this.
And when he explained this, he was talking about himself in the third person.
And, he calls this third heaven "paradise". Read it with me.
[2 Corinthians 12:1-4]
Now, as you continue to read and you read this in his context, we start to understand, okay, Paul
is talking about himself and the third person. Now, when the Bible talks about the heaven or
the heavens, there's three things it can mean. The first one is the heavens is just the sky.
The blue sky with the clouds. Read it with me.
[Genesis 1:20]
Now we can call this the first heaven, right? Right above us.
Then further than that, we have the outer space. That's the second heaven.
[Psalm 8:3]
And then finally it can refer to paradise. Do you remember what Jesus said to
the man next to him on the cross? Today you will be with me in paradise.
So that's talking about heaven where God is. The angels, Jesus Christ, now sitting on the
right hand of God the Father. For example:
[Philippians 3:20]
[1 Peter 3: 21-22]
So God gave Paul the amazing experience to see heaven where God is and the angels.
And we all know that He will also create the new heaven and a new Earth which we
will all experience one day. And man, I can't wait.
I can't wait for that day. Are you ready?
Do you sometimes wonder what it will be like, to be in the new heaven and the new earth?
