S8E4 discusses the various viewpoints of heaven and whether heaven has multiple levels. Does heaven have only one level? Or does it have 3, 7, or even 10 levels as suggested by some? We’ll discuss this topic along with highlighting the latest release by IHP: Dr. Amy Downey’s Missions in the Minor Key.
S8E4 Angelic Abode: Are There Levels of Heaven?
1. The Chrysostom View: One Heaven.
2. The Pauline View: Three Heavens
3. The Mystical Jewish View (Irenaeus): Seven Heavens
4. The Dantean View: Nine Heavens
5. 2 Enoch: 10 Heavens
6. What do we know for sure from a biblical perspective?
