Free Will (2)

• Do we believe there are levels in heaven? If so, what are they?
• I live my life for the eternal One., and have always tried to separate myself from this world so I can feel paradise and heaven. Could you please explain to me what heaven looks like, what we will be doing there; and whether my wife and I will be close to each other in heaven; since marriage is an everlasting bond. Are there any books that speak about heaven?
• Is the so called "third heaven" or "the Paradise" the place where all the departed saints and good people exist at present? Is "the new haven" the same place as the " third heaven"? If so, why following the Day of Judgment will the good people and saints go again to the third heaven or the new heaven and new earth and the new Jerusalem? If not so, does this mean that the people who died and live now in the third heaven are not enjoying the description of chapter 21 of the Holy Book of Revelation?
• One of the kids asked a question regarding heaven & hell. I’m not sure how to answer. When people go to heaven and see the other people go to hell tortured and screaming, how can the people in heaven be happy? Basically, how can you enjoy yourself in heaven while seeing other people suffering? Then, it wouldn't be called Heaven.
• Why in 2 Kings 2:11 does it say that Elijah was caught in a chariot of fire up to heaven when in John 3:13 the Lord Jesus Christ claims that no one has ascended to heaven except the Son of Man?
