1 | Isn't Paradise the Heaven? | John 20:17 | 00123 | 241474 | ||
In Luke 23:43 Jesus tells a thief on the cross that they would be in Paradise on that day. But in this verse Jesus says he has not ascended to Father yet. Then, isn't Paradise the Heaven? Where was Jesus between the death and the resurrection? | ||||||
2 | Isn't Paradise the Heaven? | John 20:17 | EdB | 241475 | ||
In Jewish theology Hades/Hell was the holding place for the dead. Jesus using this teaching talked about it in Luke 16:19-31 in the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. One side of Hades/hell was hot dry place and holding place of the unrighteous dead. The other side was Abraham's bosom or PARADISE where the righteous dead was held until the Messiah came. When Jesus died on the cross He descended into Hades/Hell to the paradise side and preached the Good news to the righteous dead. He then as Eph 4:8 tells us lead those held captive by death to heaven. The paradise side of Hades/Hell is no longer inhabited. Those that now die and are in Christ go directly into His presence. 2 Cor 5:8 Unfortunately the hot dry side of hades/Hell is still occupied by those awaiting final judgment at the Great White Throne Judgment. |
