Is There a Scripture That Shows That the Dead Saints Are in a Dimension and Jesus Is in a Higher Dimension?
1) Direct Answer
Yes. The Bible doesn’t use the word “dimension,” but it clearly shows distinct realms: the saints who have died are in a real, conscious place (paradise/third heaven), and Jesus is exalted in a higher realm, “far above all heavens.”
2) Scriptural Explanation
- Saints in a conscious heavenly realm:
- Luke 23:43 — “Today you will be with Me in paradise.”
- 2 Corinthians 12:2–4 — “Caught up to the third heaven… caught up into paradise.”
- Hebrews 12:22–23 — “You are come… to the spirits of just men made perfect.”
- Revelation 6:9–11 — “Souls under the altar” crying out and resting until the full number is complete.
- 2 Corinthians 5:1–8 — If our earthly house is dissolved, we have a building from God; absent from the body, present with the Lord.
- Philippians 1:23 — “To depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better.”
- 1 Thessalonians 4:14 — God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus (they are with Him now).
- Jesus in the highest realm:
- Ephesians 1:20–21 — God set Him at His own right hand in the heavenlies, far above all principality and power.
- Ephesians 4:10 — He “ascended up far above all heavens, that He might fill all things.”
- Hebrews 1:3; 8:1 — He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in the heavens (place of supreme authority, not another God beside Him).
- Glimpses of unseen realms (showing distinct “dimensions” around us):
- 2 Kings 6:17 — The servant’s eyes were opened to see the heavenly hosts around them.
- Acts 7:55–56 — Stephen saw the glory of God and Jesus in that higher realm.
- 1 Peter 3:19 — “Spirits in prison” (another realm, distinct from paradise).
3) Simple Clarifying Logic
- The Bible shows more than one realm at once: the natural scene and an unseen heavenly scene. The saints are conscious in paradise/third heaven, awaiting resurrection. Jesus, having ascended “far above all heavens,” occupies the highest realm of authority. So while the word “dimension” isn’t used, Scripture plainly teaches separated realms—one where the redeemed rest, and a higher one where Christ reigns.
4) Reinforcing Statement
Now notice, it’s not mythology; it’s Bible reality. The saints are in a heavenly place with the Lord, and Jesus is exalted above all—higher than every realm.

See, you say, "Well, I seen Jesus do two or three of those things in the Bible." But don't you... I never seen Him stand with a whole row. Don't you know He said, "More, greater than this shall you do." Not greater, it couldn't be, as greater than quality ... quantity, but not in quality. He raised the dead, stopped nature, see. You couldn't do anymore in quality, but in quantity. "More than this shall you do, for I go to My Father." This is fulfilling what He said. He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. This...

John, called and summoned by the Lord Jesus, promised by God back there that he would see the coming of the Son of man...

He didn't say "all" standing there, but "some." And they went a few days after that, and saw the order of the resurrection rehearsed, and the coming of the Lord. Elijah represented the dead saints ... I mean Moses, and .....

The way the tree leans, that's the way it falls. And the state you die... That's the reason I differ with praying for the dead, see, the intercession of prayers or communion of saints and so forth. It cannot be, according to God's Word. It does no good to pray for anybody after they're gone. They're finished. They've passed the line between mercy and judgment. They either went to mercy, or went away from mercy. Jesus said so; in 16th chapter of St. Matthew, He taught it; 16th chapter of Mark, I believe it is---the...

Look at the resurrection of Lazarus. Jesus staying right there in the home with this fine people, and went away, for He knew what was going to happen. And they sent for Him to come to their home.

He said, "He's dead. And for your sake I'm glad I wasn't there, but I go wake him." Vision. "I do nothing except the Father shows Me." Standi...

In the fourth dimension, people can prove that right through this room now is coming radio activity ... radio messages. Coming right through this building now is coming television pictures, but it's too fast for our eyes. Now, you go millions of miles beyond that dimension, and you'll get into a place that's just as real as television pictures is in this room this morning. There is the Lord Jesus Christ, the resurrected Son of God standing here; and the reason that you can't see Him is because our heart hasn't beco...
