interesting the kjv I have uses the third heaven not paradise for that chapter in Corinthians.Because
The word Paradise is usually used as another word for heaven Revelation 2:7.Jesus knew that His death was imminent and that He would soon be in heaven.So Jesus used "Paradise" as a synonym for heaven.In 2 Corinthians 12:4 Paul used the word Paradise.
I generally see gan eden as heaven but as free says one cant take luke 16 to be the end of time and judgement. why? because the judgement hasn't happened.
sheol is described or something close. in hades, not gehenna. hades has that but remember that the rich man asked to have lazarus go back and warn the living.
