The primary Bible verse mentioning the “third heaven” is 2 Corinthians 12:2 (ESV), where the Apostle Paul writes: “I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, Our Heavenly Father knows.” In this context, it refers to the dwelling place of God or Paradise.
The third heaven is considered the spiritual realm above the earth’s atmosphere and outer space, acting as Our Heavenly Father’s dwelling place. Paul describes being “caught up” to this realm in a vision or experience, which he also refers to as being in “Paradise” in 2 Corinthians 12:4. Paul mentions hearing “inexpressible words” while there, which are not permitted for a person to speak. Paul likely refers to himself in the third person out of humility. He notes that while in this realm, he was caught up into “Paradise” and heard “inexpressible things” that humans are not permitted to tell.The “Three Heavens” Concept: While the Bible does notprovide a formal numbered list, biblical scholars often interpret the “three heavens” based on ancient Hebrew cThe Earth’s atmosphere (where birds fly and clouds form).Second Heaven: The “firmament” or outer space (the realm of the sun, moon, and stars).Third Heaven: The dwelling place of God and the highest spiritual realm. Historical Reference: The idea of a “heaven of heavens” (the highest part of heaven) is also mentioned in the Old Testament in 1 Kings 8:27 and Deuteronomy 10:14.
