There are three different Heavens and three different Hells mentioned in the Bible.

The Third Heaven:

The Apostle Paul tells us that the heaven of God’s abode is the “third heaven.” In the Old Testament this is often designated by the phrase “the heaven of heavens.”

  • Joshua 2:11—God in heaven above
  • Psalm 11:4—the Lord's throne is in heaven
  • 2 Corinthians 12:2—such a one was caught up to the third heaven [equated in v. 4 with being caught up into paradise]                                                                     

The First Hell

  • Genesis 37:35—I shall go down into the grave
  • Proverbs 15:11—Hell and Destruction are before the Lord
  • Ecclesiastes 9:10—there is no work... or knowledge... in the grave
  • Matthew 11:23—will be brought down to Hades
  • 1-Corinthians 15:55—O Hades, where is your victory                                                                                                                                                                The The Second Hell
