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.

Contending for the Faith
55-0220E §51
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...

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...

But the man that was interviewing me was Catholic, and they said to me, "Do you believe our saints can do that?" I said, "If they're living." ('Course I know the Catholic church believes you have to be dead to be a saint.) So then, I said, "If they are living, yes." And he said, "Oh, you can't be a saint until you're dead." I said, "Was Paul a saint before he died or after he died? Who...

Now in this case, Jesus had been told of the Father to leave the home and to go away, if you'll notice how it worked after Lazarus took sick. And no doubt many of them said, "Ah hah! Now let's see where that holy roller preacher is now, that's going to pray for the sick. He isn't on the scene." So He went away. And they finally sent for Him, for the doctor had give him up. They sent for Him to come, and instead of coming He just went right on further. They sent again. Instead of coming He just kept on going the oth...
