    Forgive me for jumping in late. But I think paradise before the resurrection of Christ was Abraham's bosom in Hades, the place of the departed dead. One side was a place of torment in fire, the other side a place of paradise.

    I believe this is where Christ descended after his death on the cross.

    I also believe that Christ rose from the dead and took the occupants of Abraham's bosom with him. I believe that today, paradise is being in heaven with Christ, and Hades remains the place of the departed unregenerate dead. So after the resurrection, regenerate persons go to heaven, lost persons continue to go to the fires of hades.

    At the great white throne judgment, death and hades will be cast into the lake of fire (gehenna). God will make a new heaven and earth and glorifed saints will live on this new earth for all eternity.
