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.

The resurrection of Jairus' daughter
54-0331 §42
I feel that He would have me to pray for the sick. Now, remember. Let's take a picture of what Jesus is now. Let's take... How many in here believes that there was a resurrection of the dead, and Jesus Christ is the firstfruits of those who slept? Thank you for your faith. Now, the Bible teaches in Hebrews 13:8 that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Is that true? Jesus said, "The things that I do shall you also." Is that right? And when He was here on earth, He didn't claim to be a healer. He...
Then Jesus came
57-0407E §12
Notice, then when Jesus said, "Now, he's dead." They thought he was taking a sleep. He said, "He's dead, and for your sake I'm glad I wasn't there. But I go wake him." Oh, my! It wasn't, "I'll go and see if I can, I'll go and make a try," but, "I'll go and wake him." For, He knew. God had showed Him by a vision that Lazarus was going to come forth out of that grave. And it wasn't no guess work. Oh, if God would... Any time that God shows a vision of what's going to happen, it's going to be exactly that way, if the...
We would see Jesus
60-0708 §5
And about one hour before he went to be with the Lord Jesus, before He came in and got him, he had been laying on the bed sleeping. And he woke up, looked in the room. His wife came in, and his son, many of the loved ones. And he looked around the room, and raised up and shook hands for over an hour with friends of his that had been gone on for thirty or forty years. Shook hands, said, "Why, I remember you. You came to Christ in my meeting at Joliet. I remember you. You was at Montreal, when you..." And called them...
Present stage of my ministry
62-0908 §16
To break it down. When a man has a nightmare, he's not altogether asleep, neither is he awake. He's between sleep and awake, and that's what makes him have that horrible shaking and screaming, because he's not asleep, he's not awake. And to take that, shows where a man goes when he dies unconverted. He's lived his time up, he's dead on earth; and he cannot go in the presence of God, because he's not fit to go there without the blood. And he's caught. And he cannot come back to earth, because his time's finished her...
Seals 6: The Fourth Seal
63-0321 §85
Remember, here... See, death is eternal separation. Remember, saints don't die. They sleep, not die. "He that heareth my words and believeth on him that sent me has eternal life. [That's right. Shall not come into the judgment, passed from death unto life.] I am the resurrection, and life," said Jesus. "He that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die." Lazarus dead? "He sleepeth." "Fear not, the girl's not dead, but sleepeth." They laughed Hi...
