Pardec H # 6508 Garden or Orchard
Luke 23:43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.
2 Corinthians 12:4 How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
Revelation 2:7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
Revelation 22:1 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

Yes, Paradise is referred to as a garden but in Revelation it is a description of Heaven no matter which way you look at it. It’s the same Paradise Jesus told the thief he would go to while He hung on the cross. Even the Garden of Eden is a type of Paradise.

We need to look no further for an explanation of where the quick and the dead go after death and the JSOC immediately after, either the left or right side of the great chasm called the “Gulf”. Goats on the left and sheep on the right.

Matthew 25:33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. (In Paradise)
Matthew 27:38 Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left. (On Earth)--- One went to Paradise and the other went Hades Gehenna Sheol

Further proof of this fact is the Thief that said to Jesus “remember me” was on the “right side” of Jesus as He hung there on the Cross. The thief hung on the right side of Jesus on earth and when he got to Paradise he was on the right side of the gulf in Paradise…Amazing.

2 Timothy 4:1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; (the moment you die)
Luke 16:26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. (Paradise on one side and Sheol, Hades and Gehenna on the other)
Philippians 1:23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:
These verses tell us all we need to know about where the quick and the dead go. Unbelievers go to sheol but believers go straight into the “Bosom of Abraham”
