The chart Cosmology of Paul in Ephesians includes English biblical text and an illustration depicting the cosmology:

1. First Heaven (Material Cosmos) — Eph 1.10; 3.14-16; 4.9-10
2. Second Heaven (Battle Zone with Spiritual Forces) — Eph 3.9-10; 6.10-12
3. Third Heaven (Throne of God; Paradise) — Eph 1.3; 1.20-21; 2.5-7

Highlights:

• Referring to the Second and Third Heavens, Paul consistently uses the phrase “in the heavenlies” (cf. Greek; with prefixed preposition).
• Referring to the First Heaven, the material cosmos, Paul consistently uses “heaven(s)” (without prefixed preposition) in conjunction with “earth.”
