Just to let you know, many old commentators did not consider Paradise to necessarily be Heaven (e.g. when Jesus promised St. Dismas he would be with Him in Paradise). They believed it to be the the Bosom of Abraham.
The end result is the same: Elijah was not in the abode of God and could not be until Jesus opened the gates with His death and resurrection.

Rev 21
And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.
