"Paradise"

" Paradise " Excerpt Paradise is often used metaphorically to mean any place or condition of pure  happiness. Christ ians normally identify paradise with the Garden of Eden and  with heaven, based upon Jesus saying to the thief on the Cross who believed in  Him : “I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise” ( Luke  23:43 ), and  after His resurrection saying to the churches through the apostle John: “To him  who overcomes, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the  paradise of God” ( Revelation  2:7 ).  More Freeman, James M., and Harold J.
