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.

Then the saints that die in Him can sing this, when we look at that amazing grace yonder, what He did. See, God's sealed endorsement, "A little while and the world will see me no more, yet you'll see me, for I will raise from the dead and be with you, even in you, to the end of the world; as a confirmation, and a verification that what God said is true, and what I say is true." Jesus said, "I will come in the form of the Holy Spirit. I will make My abode with you, and live with you forever." Then the saints who has...
My Redeemer liveth

Did you ever stop to think, this morning, as far as returning, that is, it had become visible? He is already here with us now. We someday... Now, today just imagine that His presence being here today. The Lord Jesus is in another world ... or, another dimension, right here today in form of Spirit. His Spirit is blending in with our spirit. Our eyes can't see Him, because that they're physical yet, unless there would something happen that we could see vision. But He is here just as visible, just as real as He was th...

And this whole Bible, to my opinion, the whole set-up is a dramatic story: just starting out of Eden, coming out through the gate, on out, the way of the cross leading right back again. Just all one big picture God has placed out in His mind. I can imagine seeing God before there was even a foundation of the world, before there was a moon, star, anything, seeing Him set in the space yonder. And in His mind He drew out that picture, what it would all be. And everything He just spoke and said, "Let there be." And eve...
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever

Now, to save time... We could go on through the Bible. Jesus, when He went to leave the earth, He said this: "A little while, and the world will see me no more." Is that right? All Scripture readers know that, Bible readers. "A little while and the world will see me no more." That's the worldly people, the worldly crowd, the unbelievers. He was a fanatic to them then, He's a fanatic to them now. "A little while, and the world will see me no more; yet ye shall see me." There's going to be some ye's. "Yet ye shall se...

Now, look back where you once were. Now look where you've raised up to now. Then you died with Christ. You were buried in his name. You raised with Him in resurrection. Spiritually tonight, according to the Word, we are now risen with Him, sitting in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, with every conquered devil under the feet of Him---sitting in the living presence of the Lord Jesus. Oh, if that oughtn't to give you a hold on something: to see Him with that same evidence, that same faith that was once delivered to th...
