Ascending The Seven Heavens

The Sword and Staff

In this weeks Christmas edition, Josh and Ritchie get into a conversation on the Seven Heavens. They discuss whether there's three heavens or seven heavens. They talk about the seven heavens in Ancient Jewish sources. They talk about Planet Narnia and the ancient pagan view of the seven heavens, and then they get into Dante's "Paradisio" and his synthesis of the seven heavens. They also talk about how the modern cosmology of the world really doesn't help us understand biblical theology and biblical symbolism and how we need to recover this re-enchanted cosmology. If you've ever had questions about heaven, this is the episode for you!
