In Chapter three on page 111, Origen brings up the existence of another world , Heaven. He says that..
" that the Savior alludes to something more glorious and splendid thant is present world, and invites and exhorts all who believe in him to direct their course towards it. But whether that world, which he wishes us to know of, is one that stands widely apart and seperate from this in space and quality and glory, or whether , as seems to me more likely, it excels in quality and glory , but is nevertheless contained within the limits of this world, is uncertain, and in my opinion an unsuitable subject for mind and thoughts of men."
Origen uses great diction explaining the Heaven that God hasnt fully shown this world for a reason. How he words that this world the Savior has saved for us excels is something to hope for and something to dream about as well. For the Christian, Heaven is a world that we cannot imagine all the splendor and wonder that is inside of it and Origen explains that man cannot even think or compare to what it may be. Heaven is a seperate, divine, holy, and made to only glorify God.
