Luke 23:43, “And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.”

Luke 23:42, “And he said to Jesus, ”𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗲, 𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗱, 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂 𝗺𝗮𝘆𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗻;❜ 43 and Jesus said to him, ‘Verily I say to thee, 𝗧𝗼-𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗹𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗲,❞ 𝗬𝗟𝗧.

Again, we move on looking further at the language of the Thief. From the Young Literal Translation it says, “Remember me, lord, when thou mayest come in thy reign.”

So when is He supposed to be reigning in His throne? Meaning Christ being in His kingdom to reign as King.

Mind you, He can only reign as King while in His Kingdom, which is the same thing as Paradise. So the Thief is saying don’t forget to get me into your Kingdom, for we know you are the expected Messiah.

Now let these scriptures prove when He began to reign in His Kingdom, and that will tell us also when the Thief got into the Kingdom-Paradise as requested:

In Matt. 19 when Peter asked Jesus what will be the reward of their following Him, His answer was emphatic; “27 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?

28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me,𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗴𝗹𝗼𝗿𝘆, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”

See it very clearly stated. That at the time of the 𝙍𝙀𝙂𝙀𝙉𝙀𝙍𝘼𝙏𝙄𝙊𝙉 is when He will SIT ON HIS THRONE to rule and reign. So when was the time of the Regeneration?

Amp. Titus 3:4, “But when the goodness and loving-kindness of God our Savior to man [as man] appeared,

5 He saved us, not because of any works of righteousness that we had done, but because of His own pity and mercy, 𝗯𝘆 [𝘁𝗵𝗲] 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 [𝗯𝗮𝘁𝗵] 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗯𝗶𝗿𝘁𝗵 (𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻) 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝗼𝗹𝘆 𝗦𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘁,

6 Which He poured out [so] richly upon us through Jesus Christ our Savior.”

Msg. Titus 3:5, “He saved us from all that. It was all his doing; we had nothing to do with it. He gave us a good bath, and we came out of it new people, washed inside and out by the Holy Spirit.”

This is explicitly clear. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗽𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝗼𝗹𝘆 𝗦𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁. And Apostle Peter confirmed this when talking of the resurrection of Jesus, which now leads to the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and he said;

Acts 2:29, “Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.

30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, 𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗿𝗮𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝘂𝗽 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗶𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗲,

31 𝗛𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.

32 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.”

Now the prophecy Peter referred to concerning David is in 2Sam. 7:12,

“And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever.”

This wasn’t Solomon but prophetic of the Christ.

So you see 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝗮𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗛𝗶𝘀 𝗙𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 ( God) 𝗗𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗱 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁, “Concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh”(Rom. 1:3), not the supposedly coming of Him to a physical Jerusalem to set up a kingdom.

The Jews missed His coming in this dimension, hence they never believed in Him until this date. So we see that the Thief entered into Paradise right from the Day of Pentecost when Christ sat on His Throne as stated in Matt. 19:28.

Next will be “To-Day.” what day was that ?
