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.

God is in His universe. All that believe that, say "Amen." God is in His Word. Do you believe that? Now, God in His Son. Sure He was. Christ Jesus was God manifested in the flesh. The Bible said that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself. The flesh part was man; the Spirit was God. Jesus said, "I can do nothing except my Father shows me first." When He was here on earth He hungered like a man, he got hungry, looked around on a tree to find something to eat. That was the man part. But when He taken thos...

That quickening power came into the grave of Job, where there wasn't even a spoonful of the dust of his bones left. After all those hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of years, his bones had decayed and went back and turned back to the gases of the earth. Just a mere ash dust laid there. But yet, when that quickening power---according to the Word of God through the promise, hundreds and hundreds, yes, thousands of years later---when that quickening power was brought forth from the grave, Job, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob,...

Now, to save time, that was the faith that was delivered to the saints. Now, we see if the saints kept it. Now, did they deliver it? You say, "Brother Branham, you just talked about Jesus." All right. Jesus said, "A little while and the world will see Me no more." The world there is cosmos, meaning "the world order." "The world will see Me no more, no more. Yet ye shall see Me." Now, he said, "Sure, that was the disciples." See what He said. "Ye shall see Me for I (personal pronoun), for I will be with you, even in...

No, I beg your pardon, it's twenty thousand (Thirty thousand was Africa.)-- twenty thousand Catholics received Christ as personal Saviour at one time when that happened, standing in Mexico City. And those priests, they couldn't send too many; it would start a riot. Had too many on the side, so they said, "Mr. Branham, do you believe that our saints can do the same...

...-thing greater is just moving up. If our Master was standing here tonight with this suit that He gave me, what would He do? He didn't claim to be a healer. He only said, "I do just as the Father shows me." He knew what they were doing, what they had done. In our Scripture lesson, He knew where Philip was, before Nathanael called him, or, vice versa. He knew the thoughts in the woman's heart, that had five husbands. But to heal, He didn't claim to heal, only as the Father showed Him. Is that right? Saint John 5:1...
