I don't know if it is Heaven, because I believe that every one rests until the return, but perhaps it was a visit. I don't see why not.So what is the paradise is Jesus is referring to here:
Luke 23:39-43
39One of the criminals who were hanged there was hurling abuse at Him, saying, “Are You not the Christ? Save Yourself and us!” 40But the other answered, and rebuking him said, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? 41“And we indeed are suffering justly, for we are receiving what we deserve for our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong.” 42And he was saying, “Jesus, remember me when You come in Your kingdom!” 43And He said to him, “Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise.”
Is that Heaven paradise? Or Abrahams bosom? Spiritual visit.
Paul talks about a visit to Heaven. 2 Cor 12:2.
