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.

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. But if I testify of truth, and God has testifies that that is the truth, then you don't--you mustn't doubt God. You must believe God. Now, Jesus... Is there anybody here for your first time?

Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever

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...

The angel pressed the big button, and the pearly gates swung open. Right down through the city of Jerusalem come the great, mighty conqueror, bringing the Old Testament saints. The angelic bands a-playing, and the angels are shouting. He was the mighty Conqueror! He had the keys of death and hell hanging on His side, going right down past the palaces of Glory till He got to the Throne. And He said, "Father, here they are. They believed, in faith on Your Word, that I would come someday. I have conquered both death a...

Now, let's get that in our minds, and remember that He is ever present; and there's no other creature that could be omnipresent except God Himself---no other creature. The devil is a great force. The devil has a great power, and the devil is great in his power; but he's under the power of God. And the devil can only be one place at a time. His imps can be everywhere, scattered out---his demons, his coworkers. But God Himself is alone in this field of omnipresence, not an Angel, but God Himself. Hallelujah! Then tha...
