TEMPLE OF INANNA's video: Difference between Heaven Paradise Kingdom of God in the Bible

This video is about the difference between Heaven, Paradise, and the Kingdom of God in the Bible. Paradise The Bible makes it clear that Paradise and Heaven are two different places. The English word “paradise” is derived from the Greek 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘪𝘴𝘰𝘴, meaning a park, a pleasure ground, a forest, or an orchard. In the Septuagint, “paradeisos” is also used to describe the Garden of Eden, which, too, was a real, physical place, but was above ground rather than beneath the Earth. The Bible says that the indescribably beautiful and peaceful place that is the temporary afterlife is located in one of two subterranean valleys and was fashioned by God for the good who await judgement, with both Matthew 12:40 and Enoch 8:3-8, 76:6-7 placing it in the lower parts of the planet. Heaven The Bible teaches that there is more than one heaven. When the term “heaven” is not used symbolically in scripture, it usually refers to one of 3 actual physical places: 1. Earth's atmosphere (i.e., the sky) 2. Outer space (i.e., celestial spaces and all they contain, e.g., the sun, moon, planets, and stars) 3. The physical home of God the Father, Lord YHVH, located within Space-time (𝘯𝘰𝘵 another dimension or spiritual realm) - The 1st Heaven: The atmospheric heaven The atmospheric heavens include all 5 layers of Earth's atmosphere: “I will destroy humanity whom I have created from the face of the earth, both humans and beasts, creeping thing and birds of heaven” (Genesis 6:7) “Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather in barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them” (Matthew 6:26) The word translated “air” is ouranos, the same Greek word that is elsewhere translated “heaven”. - The 2nd Heaven: The celestial heaven The Bible also speaks of heavenly spheres beyond that which are visible from the Earth. This use of the term heaven refers to outer space or the stellar heaven. It includes the sun, moon, planets, and stars: “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken” (Matthew 24:29) “And take heed, lest you lift up your eyes to heaven, and when you see the sun, the moon, and the stars, all the host of heaven, you feel driven to worship them and serve them, which the Lord your God has given to all the peoples under the whole heaven as a heritage” (Deuteronomy 4:19) “Indeed heaven and the highest heavens belong to the Lord your God, also the earth with all that is in it” (Deuteronomy 10:14). “Praise Him, you heaven of heavens and you waters above the heavens!” (Psalm 148:4) - The 3rd Heaven: God's home The Bible calls the One True God's abode the 𝘒𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘥𝘰𝘮 𝘰𝘧 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘯, and the “heaven of heavens”. According to the Bible, the heaven where God the Father resides is a particular off-earth physical location—the only definition of which is a “planet”—though divine and set apart. But the scriptures are clear that God cannot be limited to any one geographical place: “But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven [2nd heaven] and heaven of heavens [3rd heaven] cannot contain thee…” (1 Kings 8:27) “Behold, the heaven [2nd heaven] and the heaven of heavens [3rd heaven] is the LORD’S thy God, the earth also, with all that therein is [included the 1st heaven].” (Deuteronomy 10:14) “Thou, even thou, art LORD alone; thou hast made heaven [2nd heaven], the heaven of heavens [3rd Heaven], with all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein [including the 1st heaven], the seas, and all that is therein…” (Nehemiah 9:6) “The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens [His glory is above all heavens].” (Psalms 113:4) Kingdom of God The Kingdom of God—though figurative and conceptual—applies to two physical locations, one present, and the other future. When Jesus returns, the Kingdom of God will be on Earth, as it is in the Kingdom of Heaven. God will even move His and Jesus' thrones to New Jerusalem (Revelation 21:2). According to the Bible, New Jerusalem—to be the capital of God's Earthly Kingdom—will be a pre-fabricated physical place, the very epicenter of which will likely be the geographic location of the current Jerusalem, though it will span far, far wider. Since the measurements given in the Book of Revelation are of Man (Revelation 21:17), the measurements of the dimensions of New Jerusalem are meant to be literal. The compound city will be a perfect cube, with its length, width and height being 12,000 furlongs (Revelation 21:16). This translates, using modern measurements, into a city that is 1,500 miles (2,414 kilometers) square. It will have a total area of roughly 3.37 billion cubic miles (14 billion cubic kilometers), making it larger than India. The walls of New Jerusalem will be 144 cubits—about 252 feet—thick (Revelation 21:17), and 350 miles high, extending into space!
