2 Corinthians 12:2 -- Paul's reference to the third heaven and its Jewish cosmological background

20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 11) 00:13:49 – 00:15:51

Responding to a question about levels of heaven and whether this relates to the phrase 'seventh heaven'

Mike reads 2 Corinthians 12:2-4 where Paul describes a man (clearly himself) caught up to the third heaven / paradise. He notes Paul's rhetorical use of third person to distance himself from self-boasting. The Jewish cosmological framework with multiple heavens is referenced; Mike refers listeners to his detailed mormonism video for more background.
