Scofield's Reference Notes - Ephesians 1:3

in heavenly places Literally, the heavenlies. The same Greek word is used in John 3:12 where "things" is added. In both places the word signifies that which is heavenly in contradistinction to that which is earthy. In Ephesians "places" is especially misleading. "The heavenlies" may be defined as the sphere of the believer's spiritual experience as identified with Christ in nature. 2 Peter 1:4; 2 Peter 1:4 life, ; Colossians 3:4; 1 John 5:12; 1 John 5:12 relationships ; John 20:17; Hebrews 2:11... read more
