When was the third heaven where God dwells created
Upvote:5
Just so we all know what you're talking about...
2 Corinthians 12:2 ESV I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows.
Whether Paul was talking about a literal third heaven or a metaphorical vision, I am not sure. But if there is one, my guess is that it would be included with the heavens talked about in Genesis 1:1.
Genesis 1:1 ESV In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
Though I wouldn't say that God dwells there as he created it
Isaiah 66:1,2 ESV Thus says the Lord: “Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool; what is the house that you would build for me, and what is the place of my rest? All these things my hand has made, and so all these things came to be, declares the Lord. But this is the one to whom I will look: he who is humble and contrite in spirit and trembles at my word.
