Sep 11, 2023 · When Paul says that he went to the third heaven, he means that he went to the place where God dwells. Interestingly, Paul uses the phrase caught up to refer to how he was transported to heaven; it’s the same Greek word used in 1 Thessalonians 4:17 to refer to the rapture of the church. Following his list of “boasts” in 2 Corinthians 11:22 ...

Hebrew/Greek. Your Content. 2 Corinthians 12. New Matthew Bible. Paul is taken up into the third heaven and hears words not to be spoken of. 12 No doubt it is not seemly for me to boast.

Sep 8, 2019 · To Heaven and Back. Paul did have an experience something like that. But here’s the amazing thing: He mentions it only one time in his thirteen letters, and he never once makes it the warrant for believing anything he says.

Apr 9, 2018 · The Context of Paul ’s Vision. In 2 Corinthians 12, the apostle discusses his vision and revelations from the Lord, which includes being caught up to the third heaven. He speaks in the third person, which can lead to some confusion about the identity of the person who experienced this vision. “It is doubtless not profitable for me to boast.
It would appear that Paul's words in 2 Corinthians 12:1-10 refer to his experiences as a result of that "near death" stoning at Lystra. But as much as Paul had experienced of heaven, he is remarkably tight-lipped on the subject in his epistles. Only 2 Corinthians refers to this incident, and then only in sketchy terms.

But we do not know at all what conception of the difference of the seven heavens Paul followed (see below), and are therefore not at all justified in conjecturing, with Rückert, in opposition to the number seven, that Paul was not following the usual hypothesis, but another, according to which the third heaven was at least one of the higher;[361] but see on 2 Corinthians 12:4, where a still ...
