Paradise

Heaven (Heavens, Heavenly) is mentioned 691 times in Scripture, 414 times in Old Testament and 277 times in the New Testament. Paradise is mentioned 3 times, all in the New Testament.

look at Paradise:
The thief on a Cross Next to the Lord said to the other thief  “Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss”. And because of this: Luke 23:43 And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

Paradise was a place (in the center of the earth) where the souls of believers in God went when they died. (see Luke 16:19-31 and Ephesians 4:9-10).

Apparently, the Lord took Paradise up to Heaven when he arose from the dead. Paul writes of

it being in the third heaven: 2 Corinthians 12:4 How he was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

And the ascended Lord Jesus refers to it: Revelation 2:7 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.”

Notice also the Tree of Life, first mentioned in Genesis 3:24 is now in Heaven (Revelation 22:14).
