Heaven
Lesson
7
Marking
Code: H
Marking Color: Yellow
Key Text: Isaiah 65:17, 19, 21-25
Note: There
are three “heavens” spoken of in
the Bible:
- The atmospheric
heavens where birds fly (Genesis
1:20; Revelation 19:17).
- The stellar heavens
where the planets and stars are
located (Genesis 1:14-17; Psalm
19:1).
- Paradise where God
lives (2 Corinthians 12:2-4).
This lesson is
dealing with the “third” heaven-the
home of God and the holy angels-and the place
where God will take His redeemed people when
Jesus comes. As we have seen in Lesson 6 (The
Millennium), the redeemed go to heaven with
Jesus at His coming, but after the 1,000
years, God will recreate the earth anew and
make it the capital of his universal kingdom.
The redeemed will live with Him on this
beautiful new earth forever.

21-25. The Bible describes heaven
as a real place where real people are
occupied with real activities that

it was in the beginning before sin.
This will be the home of His redeemed
people for all eternity.
- Revelation 21;
22:1-5. The Bible describes the
wonderful city God is preparing-the
