The First Heaven is a place of mystery that I have never visited.
Therefore, I cannot tell you exactly where it is or what it looks
like. However, I can share some general information about the Three
Heavens. The First Heaven is said to be the lowest of the three
Heavens and the closest to the Earth. It is also the home of the
angels and the souls of righteous people who have passed away. The
first Heaven has a beautiful garden with rivers and trees. The first
Heaven is beyond our physical realm and is a spiritual state of peace
and joy.
The second Heaven is the universe. A vast and amazing place,
full of wonders and mysteries. The second Heaven is the realm where
we can explore outer space among the stars, the sun and the moon. We
don't need any spaceship or rocket: we just need our imagination. By
thinking about a place, we can instantly travel there and see the
beauty and diversity of creation. The second Heaven is a gift for us
to enjoy and learn from.
The Third Heaven is where God's throne is and where Jesus
ascended after His resurrection. The Bible also promises that those
who believe in Jesus will live with Him in a new Heaven and new
earth, where there will be no more sin, sorrow, or death. Heaven is a
place of joy, peace, and love, where we will see God face to face and
worship Him forever.
The journey to God's presence is not a simple one. There are three
levels of Heaven, and we must ascend through them one by one. The
Third Heaven is where God and His angels are. Only the purest and
most faithful souls can reach the third Heaven and see God face to
face.
Upon death, we enter a tunnel and reach the presence of the Lord
who decides whether we can enter or not. We do not meet the Lord in
the clouds before death or meet the Lord in the air. This is called a
Rapture. However, the Bible does not teach this. The Bible teaches
that we will be resurrected from the dead at the end of the age and
reign with Christ on the earth. Dispensationalism is a human
invention that is based on speculation and imagination, not on sound
biblical interpretation.
Dispensationalism is a theological framework that views history as
divided into distinct periods in which God interacts with mankind in
a specific way. Each of these periods is defined as a specific
dispensation. Dispensationalists use a literal interpretation of the
Bible and believe that there is a distinction between Israel and the
Church, and that Christians are bound by Mosaic law.
They also hold beliefs in premillennialism, Christian Zionism, and
a pre, mid or post -tribulation rapture of the Church.
Dispensationalism originated in the 19th century in the teaching
of John Nelson Darby and was popularized in the United States through
the Scofield Reference Bible and Dallas Theological Seminary.
Dispensationalism differs from covenant theology, which affirms that
there is one people of God and continuity between the Old and New
Testaments.
The Mosaic Law is the name given to the set of rules and
regulations that God gave to Moses on Mount Sinai, as recorded in the
first five books of the Hebrew Bible, also known as the Torah or the
Pentateuch. The Mosaic Law covers various aspects of life, such as
moral, ceremonial, civil, and dietary laws. The most famous part of
the Mosaic Law is the Ten Commandments, which summarize the basic
principles of God's relationship with his people and their
relationship with each other. The Mosaic Law was intended to guide
the Israelites as God's chosen people, to set them apart from other
nations, and to prepare them for the coming of the Messiah. The
Mosaic Law also reveals God's holy and righteous character, as well
as human sinfulness and need for forgiveness.
Covenant theology is a way of understanding the Bible that focuses
on the concept of a covenant, which is a solemn agreement between God
and His people. Covenant theology sees the Bible as one unified story
of God's grace and faithfulness to His covenant partners, from
creation to the end of history. Covenant theology identifies three
main covenants in the Bible: the covenant of redemption, the covenant
of works, and the covenant of grace. The covenant of redemption is
the eternal plan of God to save His elect people through the work of
Christ. The covenant of works is the agreement between God and Adam
in the garden of Eden, where Adam was required to obey God perfectly
or face death. The covenant of grace is the promise of God to save
sinners by grace through faith in Christ, who fulfilled the covenant
of works on behalf of His people. Covenant theology helps Christians
to see how all the parts of the Bible fit together and point to
Christ, who is the mediator and fulfiller of all God's covenants.
