23:43 Where is the Paradise referred to here located?
This Paradise is also referred to in scripture as Abraham's Bosom (cp Lk 16:19-26).
This Paradise was located in the lower part of the Earth where the souls of the righteous dead went before Christ took them to Heaven with Him when He ascended on high (cp Mt 12:40; Eph 4:8-10; He 2:14-15).
There is also a Paradise in the third Heaven where Paul went for a time of learning with Jesus (cp 2Cor 12:1-7 with Rev 2:7).
