1 | What happened to Enoch and Elijah ? | John 3:13 | Ray | 115811 | ||
Hi Ken John, I am interested in your connection of Hebrews 11:4 and John 3:13. I see a connection between the witness that Enoch received and the witness from Jesus that was not received. I go with the NKJ for John 3:11, "Most assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We know and testify to what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness. 12 If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? From the heart, Ray |

2 | What happened to Enoch and Elijah ? | John 3:13 | Ken John | 115864 | ||
Hello Ray, I am not too sure what you are asking me as these two verses speak for themselves, I think anyway: Joh 3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. Barnes states: No man, therefore, is qualified to speak of heavenly things, Joh_3:12. To speak of those things requires intimate acquaintance with them - demands that we have seen them; and as no one has ascended into heaven and returned, so no one is qualified to speak of them but He who came down from heaven. This does not mean that no one had Gone to heaven or had been saved, for Enoch and Elijah had been borne there (Gen_5:24; compare Heb_11:5; 2Ki_2:11); and Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and others were there: but it means that no one had ascended and “returned,” so as to be qualified to speak of the things there. Regarding Heb 11:5 Barnes comments as follows: There is no mention made of his death, and in this respect the account of Enoch stands by itself. It is, except in this case, the uniform custom of Moses to mention the age and the death of the individuals whose biography he records, and in many cases this is about all that is said of them. But in regard to Enoch there is this remarkable exception that no record is made of his death - showing that there was something unusual in the manner of his removal from the world. I hope this will help you and answer your question to me ? In Christ, Ken. |
