48 You shall be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

14 For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

26 Look at the birds of the air. They do not sow nor do they reap, nor do they gather into barns, and your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?

Chapter 15 The Resurrection of Christ
40 And there are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. But truly the glory of the heavenly is one kind, and that of the earthly is another.
47 The first man was made of dust from the earth; the second man from heaven.
48 As the one was made of dust, so also are those of the earth; and as is the heavenly one, so also are those of heaven.
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthly, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. Where O Death is Your Victory?

Chapter 8 Christ's Eternal Priesthood
1 Now the point of the things being spoken of is that we have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,

Chapter 9 The Earthly Tabernacle
23 Therefore it was necessary indeed for the representations of the things in the heavens to be purified with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

Re: Heaven(s) in all of the NT - Revelation

Post by mlinssen »

heaven, heavens and heavenly in all of the NT.
One way to look for progression in development of ideas (in order to establishment priority / order) is to follow the evolution of certain concepts

Here is a complete list from Berean Literal (with footnote references left intact), of every verse with the word: heaven, heavens and heavenly

BOOK OF Revelation
Chapter 1 Prologue
Chapter 2 To the Church in Ephesus
Chapter 3 To the Church in Sardis
12 The one overcoming, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall not go out anymore. And I will write upon him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from My God, and My new name.
Chapter 4 The Throne in Heaven
1 After these things I looked, and behold, a door was standing open in heaven, and the first voice that I heard like a trumpet was speaking with me, saying, “Come up here, and I will show to you what it behooves to take place after these things.”
2 Immediately I was in the Spirit, and behold, a throne was set in heaven, and One sitting upon the throne,
Chapter 5 The Scroll with Seven Seals
3 And no one in heaven, nor upon the earth, nor under the earth, was able to open the scroll, nor to see it.
13 And I heard every creature which is in heaven, and upon the earth, and under the earth, and on the sea, and everything in them, saying: “To the One sitting on the throne, and to the Lamb, blessing and honor and glory and might to the ages of the ages.”
Chapter 6 The First Seal: The White Horse
13 and the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree casts its unripe figs, being shaken by a great wind.
14 And heaven departed like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
Chapter 7
Chapter 8 The Seventh Seal
1 And when He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.
10 And the third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star fell out of heaven, burning like a torch. And it fell upon a third of the rivers, and upon the springs of waters.
13 And I looked, and I heard one eagle flying in mid-heaven, saying in a loud voice, “Woe! Woe! Woe to those dwelling on the earth, because of the remaining voices of the trumpet of the three angels being about to sound their trumpets!”
Chapter 9 The Fifth Trumpet
1 And the fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star having fallen out of heaven to the earth, and the key of the pit of the abyss was given to it.
Chapter 10 The Angel and the Small Scroll
1 And I saw another mighty angel coming down out of heaven, clothed with a cloud, and a rainbow upon his head, and his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire,
4 And when the seven thunders had spoken, I was about to write. But I heard a voice out of heaven, saying, “Seal what the seven thunders have spoken, and do not write them.”
5 And the angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land lifted up his right hand to heaven,
6 and he swore by the One living to the ages of the ages, who created heaven and the things in it, and the earth and the things in it, and the sea and the things in it, “There will be no more delay!
8 And the voice that I heard out of heaven was speaking with me again and saying, “Go, take the little scroll having been opened in the hand of the angel standing upon the sea and upon the land.”
Chapter 11 The Two Witnesses
12 And they heard a great voice out of heaven, saying to them, “Come up here.” And they went up to heaven in the cloud, and their enemies beheld them.
13 And in that hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell, and seven thousand names of men were killed in the earthquake. And the rest became terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.
15 And the seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were great voices in heaven, saying: “The kingdom of the world has become that of our Lord and of His Christ, and He will reign to the ages of the ages.”
19 And the temple of God in heaven was opened, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple. And there were flashes of lightning, and voices, and thunders, and an earthquake, and great hail.
Chapter 12 The Woman and the Dragon
1 And a great sign was seen in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars,
3 And another sign was seen in heaven, and behold, a great red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his heads, seven diadems.
4 And his tail drags a third of the stars of heaven, and he cast them to the earth. And the dragon stands before the woman being about to bring forth, so that when she should bring forth, he might devour her child.
6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place having been prepared there by God, so that they should nourish her there one thousand two hundred sixty days. The War in Heaven
7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels warred against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels warred back.
8 And he did not have strength, nor was found a place for them any longer in heaven.
10 And I heard a great voice in heaven, saying: “Now the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of His Christ have come, because the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, the one accusing them before our God day and night.
12 Because of this, rejoice O heavens, and those dwelling in them! Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has come down to you, having great fury, knowing that he has a short time.” The Woman Persecuted
Chapter 13 The Beast from the Sea
6 And it opened its mouth unto blasphemies against God, to blaspheme His name and His tabernacle, those dwelling in heaven.
13 And it works great signs, so that it should even cause fire out of heaven to come down to the earth in the presence of men.
Chapter 14 The Lamb and the 144,000
2 And I heard a voice out of heaven like the sound of many waters, and like the sound of loud thunder. And the voice that I heard was like that of harpists harping with their harps.
6 And I saw another angel flying in mid-heaven, having the everlasting glad tidings to preach upon those dwelling on the earth, and upon every nation and tribe and tongue and people,
7 saying in a loud voice, “Fear God and give Him glory, because the hour of His judgment has come. And worship the One having made heaven, and the earth, and sea, and springs of waters.”
13 And I heard a voice out of heaven, saying “Write, ‘Blessed are the dead dying in the Lord from now on.’” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “so that they will rest from their labors; for their works follow with them.” The Harvest of the Earth
17 And another angel came out of the temple in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
Chapter 15 The Song of Moses and the Lamb
1 And I saw another great and wonderful sign in heaven: seven angels, having seven plagues—the last, because in them the wrath of God was completed.
5 And after these things I looked, and the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened.
Chapter 16 The First Six Bowls of Wrath
11 and they blasphemed the God of heaven on account of their distresses, and on account of their sores; and they did not repent of their deeds.
21 And a great hail, about a talent weight,a comes down out of heaven upon the men. And the men blasphemed God on account of the plague of the hail, for the plague of it is exceedingly severe.
Chapter 17 The Woman on the Beast
Chapter 18 Babylon is Fallen
1 After these things I saw another angel descending out of heaven, having great authority; and the earth was illuminated from his glory.
4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying: “Come out of her, my people,d so that you may not have fellowship in her sins, and so that you may not receive of her plagues.
5 For her sins have been heaped as high as heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.
20 “Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you saints and apostles and prophets, because God has judged for you the judgment against her.” The Doom of Babylon
Chapter 19 Rejoicing in Heaven
1 After these things I heard something like a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, crying out: “Hallelujah! The salvation and the glory and the power to our God!
11 And I saw heaven having been opened, and behold, a white horse, and the One sitting upon it called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.
14 And the armies who were in heaven, having been clothed in pure, white, fine linen were following Him upon white horses.
17 And I saw one angel standing in the sun, and he cried out in loud a voice, saying to all the birds flying in mid-heaven, “Come, gather yourselves unto the great supper of God,
Chapter 20 Satan Bound
1 And I saw an angel descending out of heaven, holding in his hand the key of the Abyss, and a great chain.
9 And they marched up over the breadth of the earth and encircled the camp of the saints and the city having been beloved. But fire came down out of heavena and devoured them.
11 And I saw a great white throne and the One sitting on it, from whose face the earth and heaven fled, and no place was found for them.
Chapter 21 A New Heaven and a New Earth
1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth,a for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea is no more.
2 And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, having been prepared as a bride having been adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven, saying: “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will tabernacle with them, and they will be His peoples, and God Himself will be with them as their God.b
10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and he showed me the holy city Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
