The Bible describes three heavens: the sky, the cosmos, and God's divine realm. Paul claimed to be caught up to the third heaven, and the speaker shares a vision from 14 years ago where he was taken to paradise and heard revelations he still can't describe.
The Bible describes 3 heavens. In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The first heaven is the sky. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit. The second heaven is the cosmos. When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars which thou hast ordained, what is man that thou art mindful of him, and the son of man that thou visitest him? The third heaven is the realm of God. Look, the highest heavens and the earth and everything in it All belong to the Lord your God. Paul himself visited the third heaven. This boasting will do no good, but I must go on. I will reluctantly tell about visions and revelations from the Lord. I was caught up to the third heaven 14 years ago. Whether I was in my body or out of my body, I don't know. Only God knows. Yes, only God knows whether I was in my body or outside my body. But I do know that I was caught up to paradise and heard things so astounding that they cannot be expressed in words. Things no human is allowed to tell. Whether the sky, the cosmos, or the third heaven, God created it and has rule over it.
