Jesus told the evil doer "You will be with me in paradise". What did he mean, was the man going to heaven as if death is a promotion?

You will be with me in Paradise.”—LUKE 23:43. HOW WOULD YOU ANSWER?
How did God’s dealings with Abraham suggest a future paradise?
Regarding prophecies in Isaiah, what suggests that there will yet be a greater fulfillment?
What indicates that Jesus and the criminal next to him did not go to Paradise on the day that they died?
1, 2. What are some differing ideas about paradise?
IT WAS a very emotional scene. As foreign delegates left the stadium after a convention in Seoul, Korea, local Witnesses crowded around. Many of them waved, calling out, “See you in Paradise!” What paradise do you think they meant?
2 Paradise means different things to different people. Some say that paradise is a fantasy. Others say that paradise is wherever they find joy and satisfaction. A starving man sitting at a banquet might feel that he is in paradise. On seeing a glen full of wildflowers, a 19th-century visitor cried out, “Oh, what a paradise!” That site is still named Paradise, though it receives over 50 feet (15 m) of snow yearly. What does Paradise mean to you? Do you hope for it?
