What are charismatic thoughts and readings on the locations of Paradise, Heaven and Hell? And the Hell and Paradise of Jesus Holy Saturday events?
There are words we translate to Hell, but the Jewish Bible and some Messianic views don't match up with Catholic and Lutheran ones, so how is this sorted?
In NDEs some have revelations I take up with interest. Like that Heaven and Hell, are not far apart. I wonder how the rich man could see Lazarus and Abraham?
How could the good thief end up in Paradise with Jesus, before night fell on Friday?
How did Jesus cross from Hell to Paradise? With the Rich man to Abraham?
How did Abraham and the newly saved cross into Heaven and when?
Why did Jesus take so long before He rose from the dead in the body, what was the challenge? Why did this take so much power on Sunday morning?
Question 1: What are charismatic thoughts and readings on the locations of Paradise, Heaven and Hell? And the Hell and Paradise of Jesus Holy Saturday events?
My Answer: Heavens <plural verses
Deut 10:14 Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the LORD'S thy God, the earth also, with all that therein is.

The 1st heaven is the atmosphere around the earth. Where birds & planes fly.
The 2nd heaven is moon, stars, galaxies etc
The 3rd Heaven (another dimension/realm not in our universe) is where God dwells
Jacob's Ladder shows the Gate leading to the to the 3rd Heaven exists directly above the Temple Mt in Jerusalem. Gen 28:11-13 16-18
Two Jerusalem's 1 Earthly & 1 Heavenly.
Jerusalem from the Hebrew Yerushalayim. Any Hebrew noun ending in ""im"" is always plural
Whenever we say the word or read about Jerusalem. We are saying Jerusalem's, one physical - one spiritual
Yerushalayim shel maala , the heavenly Jerusalem & Yerushalayim shel matah, the earthly Jerusalem
Heb 12:22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
Rev 4:1 After this I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven!
Rev 21:2 I John, saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven,
Rev 21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
Sheol (Hebrew) Hades (Greek) Hell (English) this is a spirit place. Not the grave where the body decays.
Hell (English) is also in another dimension/realm
Question 2: How could the good thief end up in Paradise with Jesus, before night fell on Friday?
MY Answer: IMO this can be cleared up if the coma is moved from after You & placed after Today. We don't have the original transcripts & translators are imperfect people too.
Question 3: How did Jesus' cross from Hell to Paradise? With the Rich man to Abraham?
My Answer: The same way everyone else got there (Lk 16:22). Angels:
The LORD rides the clouds like a wind upon cherubim:
Ps 18:10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind. Also see 2 Sam 22:11
Question 4: How did Abraham and the newly saved cross into Heaven and when?
My Answer: After Jesus rose 1st the graves were opened & many are seen entering Jerusalem (Matt 27:52-53) & they are with Him when He ascends Acts 1:9-11)
Question 5: Why did Jesus take so long before He rose from the dead in the body, what was the challenge? Why did this take so much power on Sunday morning?
My Answer: (1) He is fulfilling scripture (Jonah) & (2) 3 days proves He was in fact dead.
