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.

And I was interviewed by the press. And so, being... (Nothing against anybody's belief, as long as it's with the Bible, all right.) 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...

But try to believe God's Word. Just take His Word at it. Now, if I testify of something, and God don't testify of it, then I've told a--something that isn't truth.

Now, if that Jesus was standing here tonight, He could look over this audience, and if any person could touch Him with their faith, the same thing would take place. You believe it? Same thing, if He's the same Jesus. Then, if He was here tonight, He wouldn't claim, "Bring Me this man or this woman, or so-and-so, and let Me heal them." No, no. He said, "I can do nothing unless the Father shows Me what to do." Is that correct? Saint John 5:19. That He did nothing unless the Father showed Him. Then when the Father sho...

With Irenaeus this was not so. He was militant against any form of organization. Also, his life history, wherein he served the Lord, was one of much manifestation in the Holy Spirit; and the Word was taught with unusual clarity and conformity to its original precepts. His churches in France were known to have the gifts of the Spirit among them, for the saints spoke in tongues, prophesied, raised the dead, and healed the sick by the prayer of faith. He saw the danger of any kind of organized brotherhood among the el...
