Where is Paradise?

There is a great chasm separating the two realms of the dead – one is paradise and the other a place of torment. The rich man looked up and saw Abraham afar off and said to him, “Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.”

The Gospel of Judas

Just prior to His betrayal, Jesus prayed to the Father, “While I was with them in the world, I kept them in Your Name. I have guarded them, and not one of them has been lost except the son perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled (John 17:12).
Son of perdition highlights Judas’ destined path of downfall and betrayal of Jesus, which ultimately led to his condemnation.
