The early books of the Tanakh reference Heaven (Heb. Shamayim), but not a Third Heaven or a specific number of heavens. Heaven is mentioned several times in the first chapter of Genesis.It appears in the first verse as a creation of God. His dividing the light from the darkness in verses 4 and 5 has been interpreted as the separation of heaven into two sections: day. The biblical book of Jude quotes from the Book of Enoch in verses 14-15, 'Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men: ‘See, the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones to judge everyone, and to convict all the ungodly of all the ungodly acts they have done in the ungodly way, and of all the harsh words ungodly sinners have spoken against him.''.
Chapter 4; And now it came to pass that according to our record — and we know our record to be true, for behold, it was a just man who did keep the record, for he truly did many miracles in the name of Jesus, and there was not any man who could do a miracle in the name of Jesus save he were cleansed every whit from his iniquity — and now it came to pass, if there was no mistake made. Why Would The Book of Enoch Be Left Out? According to the video, one reason the book might have been left out could be outlined in Daniel 12:4, which says, 'But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. ' You can make the assumption that the book was purposely left out to.
Revelation 8:6-13; 9:15,18
Revelation 8
6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;
9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.
12 And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.
13 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!
Revelation 9
15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.
One third
In each of the trumpet judgments which result in death, one third of the population receiving the judgment perishes. One third of the trees is burned up here, a third of the earth is burned up (Revelation 8:7), one third of the sea becomes blood (Revelation 8:8), a third of the sea creatures and ships are destroyed (Revelation 8:9), one third of the rivers is polluted (Revelation 8:10-11), one third of the sunlight, moonlight, and starlight is affected (Revelation 8:12), and a third of mankind is killed (Revelation 9:15,18).
Meaning
The third means a great part, but not a major part. We must not take the phrase 'the third part' literally: the emphasis here is to show that in wrath, God remembers mercy, and that while He humbles all, He does not completely destroy.

The Third Book Of Enochrejected Scriptures King James Version
We have a similar text in Zachariah, 'And it shall come to pass in all the land,' says the Lord, 'That two-thirds in it shall be cut off and die, but one–third shall be left in it' (Zechariah 13:8). Zechariah here gives a prediction of conditions in terms of how events would have taken place had Israel been obedient to God's ways. A large number, though not all, would have accepted the Savior. His death would have been followed by times of great trouble, a time of casting away those unwilling to accept Him, and a time of cleansing (v. 9) to those who were His followers. The percentage that is given here (two thirds cut off and one third left) should not be taken literally, though it is clear then as later that most would reject God's free gift of salvation for the Bible tells us that 'many are called, but few are chosen' (Matthew 22:14).
