Text: John 14:1-3   Background Text: Revelation Chapters 21-22 
Introduction:  God lays a lot of information in His Word on what Heaven is like. From the high points of that information, we can put together a brochure of Heaven. The scriptures speak of three Heavens;
One:  The atmosphere's heaven, made by God Himself, on the second day of creation.   Genesis 1:6-8 
Two: The starry heaven of space Psalms 19:1
Three:  The third heaven is the dwelling place of God.
The scriptures speak of three heavenly dwelling places during three lots of time.
One: The Heaven That Then Was? (Paradise)
Example: Ruch man and Lazarus Luke 16:19-31 
Two: The Heaven That Now is.  II Corinthians 5:8 
Three: The Heaven That will be.
