In Chapter 1 Paula Gooder discusses the problems of interpreting this text and looks at the major debates of its past interpreters. The most popular modern approach is to compare it with other texts of ascent in the Judaeo-Christian tradition, yet even a brief examination of these texts indicate that differences are present. In the remainder of the book Gooder evaluates the extent and significance of these differences. Part One consists of a detailed consideration of a range of texts which superficially seem closest to 2 Corinthians 12. Chapter 2 presents a history of scholarship on heavenly ascent. Chapters 3 to 8 each examine a text of ascent from a different period and background in the Judaeo-Christian tradition. Chapter 9 draws out the points of similarity between these texts. Part Two considers the text of 2 Corinthians 12:1-10 in the light of the findings of Part One. In the detailed examination of the Pauline ascent in chapter 10, the extent of the differences between this text and the texts examined in Part One becomes clear. Chapter 11 proposes a new interpretation of the account of ascent, arguing that it reports a failed ascent into heaven. The chapter shows that this interpretation makes sense not only of 2 Corinthians 12:1-10 itself but also of chapters 10-13 which surround it. The account is one more example of weakness from the apostle in which he proves that weakness, not strength, is the sign of a true apostle.

The Bible is a book of hidden treasures purposefully designed so by our God. Many of these hidden treasures are complex, yet they can be understood by us - just ordinary people. Jesus likened this group of people to "babes." One of the meanings of 'babes" in Greek is "simple-minded." God desires to open the windows of heaven and reveal the secrets of His holy word to you. If you consider yourself inept or too "simple-minded" to understand, then all the better!

In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight. (Luke 10: 21) The Bible is a book of hidden treasures purposefully designed so by our God. Many of these hidden treasures are complex, yet they can be understood by ordinary people. Jesus likened this group of people to babes. One of the meanings of babes in Greek is simple-minded. God desires to open the windows of heaven and reveal the secrets of His Holy Word to you. If you consider yourself inept or too simple-minded to understand, then all the better! You are just Gods type, and yes, Hes looking for you. He will reveal to you even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory (1 Corinthians 2:7). Need more proof? Look at what God promises in Revelation 2:17: To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna. May you begin to eat of this hidden manna as you read Windows into the Third Heaven, and may this book be graciously used by the Spirit of God to whet your appetite for more.

I will love to take this opportunity to stir up your hunger for God. There is a place that every born-again Christian longs for. That place is called His Presence. It is that place of joy unspeakable and full of glory; there is not a vocabulary that can adequately express it. This place is being in Him, in spirit, soul and body. A place where nothing else matters, but Him. David expressed it so clearly when he said; better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere. (Psalm 84:10). It is Gods desire that you will not only visit or encounter this place, but that you will live there, reigning with Christ Jesus over the powers of darkness in heavenlies and over all creation. This is what you were saved and created for. You are called to this higher life and God has made it possible through the blood of Jesus for everyone to find a seat right next to Him in heavenly places.

Who could have known an afternoon walk around the block would eventually have such a profound impact on people around this world? Acts 2:17 says, "In the last days, God says, I will pour my spirit out on all people. Your daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams." It is all true! We are being shown His constant heart to reach His people through this remarkable photography. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the greatness of the power would be from God and not from us. --2 Corinthians 4:7 (Aramaic Bible in plain English) I have been an amateur photographer most of my life; the beauty in the world captures me. I had always been told my photographs were wonderful, and I knew I had a talent. Several years ago, my photographs began to change; suddenly they no longer represented my skill, they began to reflect the Creator behind the beauty. How blessed we are that God only needs an open heart! He reached out and touched me. He drew me into a remarkable journey to touch others for Him. I have spent the past several years on this very important and unique project. How could I have known that a walk around the block with my camera would find its way to so many people around the world --that a snapshot from my lens would speak to hearts for God? How could I know how this path would change me? I am a proud native of Williamstown, West Virginia, a small town along the Ohio River. I enjoy the simple things in life and making a positive difference to those along my path. I now reside in Columbia, South Carolina.

Mankind’s technology is advancing at a breathtaking pace. Things that were regarded a hundred years ago as fanciful imaginations are now a part of our everyday lives. Modern evolutionary science would argue that man is currently at his highest potential, yet the Bible paints a very different picture and indicates that shortly after the flood of Noah, human ingenuity reached its pinnacle…and God Himself had to stop it. Through careful and thorough study of the Scriptures, this book will display to the reader the blueprints of God’s universe, the secret passageways that He built into it and how beings from the spiritual realm can enter into the physical realm…….and visa versa. Once one begins to understand “the Doctrine of the Doors”, the diabolical purpose of the massive Tower of Babel comes into full view. The greatest existential threat the human race has ever seen since the Flood (circa 2348 B.C.) did not come in the form of a bomb, or in the form of a weoponized virus; it came in the form of a tower that was being assembled in a plain of the land of Shinar over 4,000 years ago. Humanity is getting closer and closer to discovering the knowledge that they once possessed. It will not be long before it is understood that “the truth” is not “out there”, but rather “right here”, and that the SKY really is the limit.
