Heaven part 2



There are times when heaven gets dark Isaiah 13:10, Ezekiel 32:7-8. God does these things as a sign of the times Daniel 6:27.

Satan fell from heaven while trying to ascend up to heaven Isaiah 14:12-14. Good angels do not fall from heaven, but come down from heaven to earth Daniel 4:13. In fact, there is a whole army in heaven of good angels Daniel 4:35. It is also called a host of heaven Daniel 8:10. Some of that host was lost and fell from heaven Daniel 8:10.


People worship the queen of heaven instead of the God of heaven Jeremiah 7:18 False religions read their future in the stars of heaven Jeremiah 10:12 (NLT) Some worship the stars Jeremiah 19:3.

Wind and clouds are in heaven.

God has an upper chamber in the heavens that he built Amos 9:6.

John the Baptist's message was to repent, because the kingdom of heaven was at hand Matthew 3:2. Jesus continued to preach this same message Matthew 4:17.

Heaven is the reward them that are poor in spirit Matthew 5:3. The rewards are not equal in heaven Matthew 5:12. His disciples were instructed to say the same thing Matthew 10:7. The result was that the kingdom of heaven advanced with force Matthew 11:12 (NIV). In fact when Jesus came to a place, it exalted it to heaven Matthew 11:23 (Lamentations 2:1). The kingdom of heaven is described in several parables Matthew 13.


Jesus gave the keys of heaven or authority to the church Matthew 16:19 and 18:18. The most powerful among men in God's eyes John the Baptist, is nothing compared with the heavenly beings Matthew 11:11.

Stopped Matthew 18:1


God's will is done in heaven, but not on earth Matthew 6:10.

A study on heaven



The scriptures many times use the following phrases: "Under Heaven", "Heaven Above", "Up To Heaven", "The Gate of Heaven", "ascended up to heaven". All of them indicate that we are separated or in some way inferior to heaven.

God made...

Thou, [even] thou, [art] LORD
alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all
their host, the earth, and all [things] that [are] therein, the
seas, and all that [is] therein, and thou preservest them all;
and the host of heaven worshippeth thee.

Nehemiah 9:6


Moses mentions a heaven inside a heaven. Or a place that people that lived in heaven would call heaven:

Behold, the heaven and the heaven
of heavens [is] the LORD'S thy God, the earth [also], with all that
therein [is].
Deuteronomy 10:10


When Moses gave the final call for a decision to Israel, he noted that the word on which to base that decision was not out of reach, i.e. in heaven (Deuteronomy 30:12).


In this very high place, the stars dwell, the sun dwells, and God dwells. But as 1 Kings 8:27 and 2 Chronicles 2:6 state that not all the heavens(heaven and the heaven of heavens) are able to contain God.

God sent down bread, water, and fire from heaven. The birds, sun, and stars live in heaven. The plain persistent cry of men in the Bible is for God in heaven to hear their cry. There is some sort of structural building in heaven called a sanctuary Psalm 102:19.

stopped Isa. 13. To be continued.
