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.

Now, look. Now, He did not do the healing Himself then. He only did as the Father showed Him. It was a vision. Find any of the prophets of the Bible: Elijah on Mount Carmel, anywhere else. Every prophet, every divine man that come from the presence of God, always worked under certain inspirations which was directed by God. Ministers tonight preach under inspiration, directed by God. Seers tonight work under the inspiration of vision, directed by God. "I can do nothing," He said, "except the Father shows Me. And wha...

I can hear Abraham say, "Lord, when we get up in our body again; Sarah and I just loved it so well; do You mind if we make a little whistle stop out here on Your road?" Well, I can hear Him say, "Why, no, certainly not. I'm going to stay with My disciples for about forty days. Look around and see how everything looks." On that glorious Easter morning (where we'll take up in the morning, the Lord willing) when He rose from the dead, the Bible said, according to St. Matthew 27, that "Many of the saints that slept in...
