Heaven-Paradise-Kingdom-Eden

Paradise

Luke 23:43  And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise. 

2Co 12:1-4  It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord. I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven. And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. 

Rev 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. 

Paradise in the Greek (all 3 verses);

G3857 παράδεισος Of Oriental origin (compare [H6508]); a park, that is, (specifically) an Eden (place of future happiness, “paradise”): – paradise.

Note how paradise in Luke 23:43, Jesus refers to paradise being the park-Eden-future happiness as a location.

Heaven

Mat 6:20-21  But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 

Treasures in heaven (present tense) within your heart, in this flesh life.

Heaven in the Greek;

G3772 οὐρανός Perhaps from the same as G3735 (through the idea of elevation); the sky; by extension heaven (as the abode of God); by implication happiness, power, eternity; specifically the Gospel (Christianity).

Here we have a view of Heaven not as a physical location but as Christ said in Luke that paradise being the location of Eden. Apparently paradise is not heaven? Treasures in heaven are in your heart and that is the location of heaven. Not a physical location.

Eden

Eze 28:13  Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. 

Eden in the Hebrew in this verse;

H5731 עֵדֶן The same as H5730 (masculine); Eden, the region of Adam’s home: – Eden.

This verse refers to the spirit-souls that God has created prior to forming into the flesh.

2Kings 19:12  Have the gods of the nations delivered them which my fathers have destroyed; as Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden which were in Thelasar? 

Eden in this verse;

H5729 עֶדֶן From H5727; pleasure; Eden, a place in Mesopotamia: – Eden. H5727 עָדַן A primitive root; to be soft or pleasant; figuratively and reflexively to live voluptuously:

Eden in this definition is found also in; (Isa 37:12, Eze 27:23) simply being a location In Mesopotamia.

Kingdom

Mat 4:17  From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. 

Kingdom from the Greek is;

G932 βασιλεία From G935; properly royalty, that is, (abstractly) rule, or (concretely) a realm (literally or figuratively): – kingdom, + reign. G935 βασιλεύς Probably from G939 (through the notion of a foundation of power); a sovereign (abstractly, relatively or figuratively): – king.

The “kingdom within” is the “power” of God-Christ within a soul.

1Co 3:16-17 states;

Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. 

Hell

Mat 5:29-30  And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. 

Hell in the Greek;

G1067 γέεννα Of Hebrew origin ([H1516] and [H2011]); valley of (the son of) Hinnom; gehenna (or Ge-Hinnom), a valley of Jerusalem, used (figuratively) as a name for the place (or state) of everlasting punishment: – hell.

And IF it were even possible, the “state” of everlasting punishment and casting into hell for eternity……NOT. This hell is in reference to a physical location and not a “realm or state.” Everlasting is the “state” a soul is in their current flesh life’s awareness.

Mat 16:18  And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

Hell in the Greek;

G86 ᾅδης From G1 (as a negative particle) and G1492; properly unseen, that is, “Hades” or the place (state) of departed souls: – grave, hell. G1492 εἴδω A primary verb; used only in certain past tenses, the others being borrowed from the equivalent, G3700 and G3708; properly to see (literally or figuratively); by implication (in the perfect only) to know.

Here we have Peter stating he will build his church and those souls in their “state” of hell will not destroy the true church.
