A:The early Christians, around the first century, thought of seven heavens, one each for the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Sun, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. The evil celestial "princes of the world" existing in the lower heavens, angels in the higher heavens and with God enthroned at the very top. Paul wrote (2 Corinthians 12:2) that he knew a man caught up in the third heaven, although he could not tell if the man was spiritual or in the body.

Most Christians today assume that there is only one heaven, which is no longer situated just above the clouds.

Biblical Answer:

There is in the Scripture - three to be exact are spoken of: first is the sky or place of the birds and flying things; second is the Universe or place where the heavenly bodies and other things we have classified are like the moon and the sun; and then the third is the place of the spiritual world where God's Throne is.

2 Corinthians 12:2New King James Version (NKJV)

2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago-whether in the body I do not know, or whether out of the body I do not know, God knows-such a one was caught up to the third heaven.
