{St. Luke, 23:43} «And Jesus said unto him: Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise». These words the Lord Jesus to one of robbers has told. From here it is visible, that Paradise is and now and exists also as well as in days of Adam. Thus, saved could get to Paradise already after the death.
{2 Corinthians, 12:2-4} «I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I canot 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».
So Apostle Paul describes the abiding in Paradise where he has been caught up approximately in 44th year AD.*18 So, Paradise continues to exist, there was (and now abides) Apostle Paul. He heard in Paradise words God's. In due time in Paradise heard a voice of the God and Adam, Gen. 3:8.
