It is often contrasted with earthly things, highlighting the distinction between the temporal and the eternal, the corruptible and the incorruptible. Heavenly Realms and Beings The Bible frequently refers to heavenly realms as the abode of God and His angels. In <a href="/ephesians/1-3.htm">Ephesians 1:3</a>, the Apostle Paul writes, "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms." This passage emphasizes the spiritual blessings believers receive, which are rooted in the heavenly sphere. Heavenly beings, such as angels, are depicted as messengers and servants of God. <a href="/hebrews/12-22.htm">Hebrews 12:22</a> speaks of "the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem," where innumerable angels reside. These beings are often involved in carrying out God's will and ministering to His people. Heavenly Bodies and Creation The term "heavenly" is also used to describe celestial bodies. In <a href="/1_corinthians/15-40.htm">1 Corinthians 15:40</a>, Paul contrasts earthly bodies with heavenly ones: "There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is of one kind, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is another." This distinction underscores the glory and permanence of the heavenly compared to the transient nature of the earthly. Heavenly Citizenship and Inheritance Believers in Christ are described as having a heavenly citizenship. <a href="/philippians/3-20.htm">Philippians 3:20</a> states, "But our citizenship is in heaven, and we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ." This citizenship implies a belonging to God's kingdom and a future hope that transcends earthly existence. The concept of a heavenly inheritance is a recurring theme in the New Testament. In <a href="/1_peter/1-4.htm">1 Peter 1:4</a>, believers are promised "an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you." This inheritance is secure and eternal, contrasting with the fleeting nature of earthly possessions. Heavenly Wisdom and Calling <a href="/james/3-17.htm">James 3:17</a> describes heavenly wisdom as "first pure, then peaceable, gentle, accommodating, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial, and sincere." This wisdom is characterized by its divine origin and moral excellence, setting it apart from earthly wisdom, which is often self-centered and divisive. Believers are also called to a heavenly calling. <a href="/hebrews/3.htm">Hebrews 3:1</a> exhorts, "Therefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling, set your focus on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess." This calling involves a life dedicated to following Christ and living according to the values of God's kingdom. Heavenly Worship and Glory The book of Revelation provides vivid imagery of heavenly worship. <a href="/revelation/4-8.htm">Revelation 4:8-11</a> depicts the heavenly throne room where creatures and elders worship God, proclaiming His holiness and glory. This scene reflects the ultimate purpose of creation: to glorify God and enjoy His presence forever. In summary, the concept of "heavenly" in the Bible encompasses a wide range of themes, including the nature of God's kingdom, the character of spiritual blessings, and the eternal hope of believers. It serves as a reminder of the divine reality that transcends the physical world and calls believers to live in light of their heavenly identity and future.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

In <a href="/john/3-12.htm">John 3:12</a>, in contrast with "earthly things" (i.e. such as can be brought to the test of experience), it denotes truths known only through revelation (God's love in salvation). In Hebrews the sense is local. In Ephesians it denotes the sphere of spiritual privilege in Christ, except in 6:12, where it stands for the unseen spiritual world, in which both good and evil forces operate. It is always the sphere of the super-earthly. James Orr<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/5502.htm">5502.
