We know from Paul that Paradise is heaven (2 Corinthians 12:1-4) So, Jesus was telling the repentant thief that he would be in heaven with Him that very day. This leads some to believe (including myself) that Jesus was taken to heaven after he died and before the Resurrection. See also: Luke 23:46 "Father, into Your hands I commit my spirit." |

Roberhart: Please consider the following The psalmist writes concerning the Lord Jesus: "For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption." When Jesus died his body was buried in the new tomb of Joseph of Arimitha and his soul went to hell or better rendered "hades" Hades was the place of departed spirits and consisted of a compartment of comfort and a compartment in which was torment. Up until the time of Christ those who died in faith went to paradise located in hades which is sometimes referred to as Abraham's bosum. Read Luke 16: 19-31 However, we find the triumph of the resurrection of Christ "Wherefore he saith, When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive (or lead a multitude of captives) and gave gifts to men. Now that he ascended, what ist but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? He that descended is the same also that ascended far above all heavens, that he might fill all things" ( Eph. 4:8-10) It is suggested that when the Lord Jesus ascended he trimphantly emptied the comfort side of paridise transferring those who had died in faith into the third heaven the abode of God which you have point out. In other words Jesus was the last man to descend into paradise and after his resurrection he ascended to the right hand of his father above. Those believers who have died since the cross "are absent from the body and present with the Lord" Praise his name. |

Sure, that view makes sense and I don't have a problem with it. I've seen it interpreted both ways and I suppose we'll know the answer for sure "when we all get to heaven" Praise the Lord! |
