God gave the Apostle Paul a glimpse of the future heaven that John described in the book of Revelation.
II Corinthians 12:2 "I knew a man in Christ... such an one caught up to the third heaven."
Revelation 21:1 "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first [former] heaven and the first [former] earth were passed away..."
The third heaven mentioned by the Apostle Paul in The Bible is not third geographically, but third chronologically. II Peter also corroborates there will be a third heaven and Earth.
II Peter 3:13 "Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness."
What God showed Paul gave him great encouragement during a period of extreme persecution.
II Corinthians 12:4 "How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter."
God showed Paul that the encouragement was specifically for him and that sharing the details of it was not profitable. Encouragement, especially for us, is shared in other sections of Scripture.
Romans 8:18 "For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us."
As we look forward to Christ's return, we know that we do not labor in vain and will experience firsthand the new heaven and Earth wherein dwelleth righteousness.

Layer heaven Bible?
The Bible speaks of more than one "heaven", yes. Paul says he was "caught up to the seventh heaven". The atmosphere (where birds fly) is also called "heaven". And the place where God's Holy City, the New Jerusalem, is located is also called "heaven". The English language is probably to blame here. It's the same as the word "love". In English we only have one word. In many other languages, including the original language of the Bible, there are several words to express different kinds of "love".

The Bible doesn't speak of "seven heavens"... but of "three":"...I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord. I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven." (II Cor.12:1-2)It's men who speak of more heavens than that; like, for instance, the ever-popular "seventh heaven" -- perhaps either as a deliberate perversion of scripture... or of some religious teaching of men apart from the Bible.
