Heavens

The heavens of eternity are the pillars that support the visible universe. This is where the souls of those who have been saved by Divine mercy move in existential intervals. All living beings are endowed with souls according to their category. When they die, their souls spend some time in the heavens of Eternity until the Creator assigns them a new life. This is the case with man, with animals, insects, plants and other living things. In these invisible regions of Creation also dwell the incorporeal beings called angels, archangels, seraphim and spirits.
 
Paul, the apostle of the Gentiles, was taken up in spirit to the third heaven, from which it is concluded that there would be other heavens. How many would it be? Jewish numerology tells us about 7 heavens. The revelation of the Apostle is significant and confirms the principle that God’s Creation is composed of one visible and the other invisible, overlapping or interposed. Is there a relationship between them? Scripture indicates yes!
 
Souls who have already attained the kingdom of Light dwell in these invisible regions of Creation. Until they are born again, they serve the Most High God, in the likeness of angels. Therefore, there is no idle life in the heavens of eternity, nor eternal contemplation, but experiences of occupation, work, and illumination of consciousness in awakening to the Eternal God.
 
After physical death, souls do not remain forever in the heavens of Eternity. They are born again, animating other characters, obeying the great project of the Eternal God, for the construction of the future of humanity. The soul constantly advances toward the Light, its consciousness being improved with every earthly existence and interval in the Eternal heavens.
 
Soon after the doomsday crisis the world will be transformed into a new earth, but the planet will be the same. The heavens around the world will also be changed in their activities, as they accompany the unfolding of the visible plane. Known is the passage in which the prophecy says that heaven withdrew like a rolling book (Revelation 6:14), showing future changes.
 
We conceive of the existence of the 7 heavens. There are 7 existential planes, being the visible universe, the 7th of them. In the traditional conception, there would be the visible world and 7 heavens above it, starting at the 1st, ending at the 7th. We understand in the opposite sense: the first heaven is where God’s throne is, the Word, from which Creation spreads and sustains. The visible region would be the 7th plane, where is the wondrous work of the Creator, constantly changing. After the throne of God (1st Heaven) is the abode of the Eternal, a place inaccessible to man, to conceptions, to souls, and to everything created in nature.
