In this passage the criminal is asking Jesus to remember him in the Kingdom. The Kingdom that the criminal is talking about, according to scripture is never described as being located in heaven. The Kingdom will be established here on earth after Jesus returns. In interpreting the scripture, if we are to assume the Jesus and the criminal are talking about the same thing then we need to look at other scriptures. In prophecy we know that Jesus would be in the belly of the whale, the grave, for three days and three nights. Jesus was not going to be in paradise, heaven, that day, prophecy says he would be in the grave.
