What is the second heaven?
The second heaven is not called such in Scripture; rather, the existence of the second heaven is inferred from the fact that the Bible speaks of a “third heaven,” and, if there is a third heaven, there must be a first heaven and second heaven, too.
The idea that more than one type of “heaven” exists is confirmed in , which says that Jesus, our High Priest, is “exalted above the heavens”; in other words, Jesus is in a heaven beyond other heavens.
Jesus is “exalted above” the heavens.
The Third Heaven
Mentioned by Paul in
See verse 4 of same chapter and read what he equates the third heaven to.
He equated the 3rd heaven to “paradise,” the realm where God dwells.
If the third heaven is God’s dwelling place, then we could consider the second heaven to be “outer space,” the realm of the stars and planets; and the first heaven to be earth’s atmosphere, the realm of the birds and clouds.

The term Heaven
The term heaven is used in Scripture to refer to all three realms.
FIRST HEAVEN
referring to the atmosphere of Earth.
SECOND HEAVEN
referring to the cosmos or outer space.
THIRD HEAVEN
referring to God’s dwelling place.
FALSE TEACHING ABOUT THE KINDS OF HEAVEN
Some Charismatic groups use the term second heaven in reference to Satan’s domain and anything that comes from there.
They take biblical descriptions of Satan being “the ruler of the kingdom of the air” () and demons being “the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms” () and develop a theology of spiritual warfare.
According to these groups, “second heaven revelations” are false visions coming from Satan in an attempt to deceive God’s prophets on earth.
Prophets must learn to distinguish between “second heaven revelations” (from the devil) and “third heaven revelations” (from God).

These same groups also sometimes teach a hierarchy of demonic power, with the first-heaven (earth-bound) demons being of lesser authority and power than the second-heaven demons.

LESSON
Categorizing demons into first-heaven and second-heaven types goes beyond what the Bible says.
Again, the Bible does not include the term second heaven anywhere.
Those who look for prophecies or new revelations from God set themselves up for deception.
God has spoken, and the Bible’s canon is closed.
We do not need a “new word” from God; we need to obey His “old word.”
