THE SPIRITUAL REALM

The spiritual realm consists of an Upper/Holy Class domain, A Lower/Habitation Class domain, A Common/Held Class domain, and a Dark probate domain.

The Spiritual Realm

The spirit world is behind a veil from natural sight that God keeps hidden from beings who exists in the natural realm. It is by God’s design that our eyes will only see what is made of physical matter.

The matter we see is interlaced with the spiritual realm.

LESSON BODY

In the spiritual realm there are four known sections that we read about in the bible:

• Upper (Holy) Spirit Class (Ps 148:13; Matt 5:34, Heb 8:1, 12:2; Rev 7:15;) - A holy place that consists of Heaven and God’s holy mountain (Throne)
• Lower (Not Holy) Spiritual Class (Rev 12:12; Isa 14:12, Ezek 28:13-17; Job 1:7; 1 Pet 5:8) – In this spiritual class, both Satan and his angels, as well as God’s angels are freely moving around in it. We are on this level as well. We learn that Satan and other angels were banished to this lower spiritual realm which puts them in direct contact with the physical world. This class is intertwined and adjacent with this physical realm. Our realm is below the Holy area and is used as the bottom level before there is darkness (Matt 5:35 – footstool). EARTH IS THE Footstool ,as being on the lower class in the order of things. In this area we learn that this is why earth is on this level – because it is a physical place. So, this gives us the evidence we need to understand that Satan is not only adjacent to us in this realm but also relegated to being lower than God’s people in this realm (Gen 3:14-15; Isa 14; Eze 28). So being the footstool, we are on the floor but not the floor. Both the earth and the lower (not holy) area in the spiritual realm are side-by-side in order, but we cannot see it or contact the spiritual side….but the beings in it can see us and influence us. There is a region lower than us in order and position as well.
• A Common Class (Luke 16:22,23) – Hades/Hell – The Grave -
  1. What we call the grave has a place of torment for those headed to punishment and Abraham’s bosom for those headed to heaven. This common class area may be believed to be in heaven as some people try to claim but that’s not possible if those who are being tormented are present and able to see those who are in paradise.
  2. Luke reveals that there is a gulf between the two places, so this information shuts down the idea that his place is on a higher level in the spiritual realm. A gulf separates the same plane and level.
  3. Since, we know that evil, darkness, sinners, condemned souls cannot be present in the Holy part of Heaven…this area by default is lower where both sinners and righteous can be present together.
  4. Remember, this is where EVERY soul goes after death UNTIL judgement day. No one is in Hell or Heaven until Judgement Day comes.
  5. In Hades, those who are in torment are totally aware of those who are in paradise, and visa-versa for those in paradise, but opposite sides are not allowed to interact or communicate individually.
• Sub-Spiritual Class (Titus 1:6): It is obviously below heaven in region that is not holy. A place of darkness, obscurity, and shame for angels that have committed crimes worthy of imprisonment before judgement day. So, this place is one step before the lake of fire for spiritual beings who are wicked. We get additional information about such a place in Revelation 9.

We see through scriptural text that there are FOUR known areas in the spiritual realm. In each realm there seem to be two parts or different levels that make up each realm. This is a basic study for reference and easy to process information.
