My local Bible Study was having a discussion about Elijah. And we thought another person besides him was "assumed" into heaven without dying first. Who was it? If any? |

Although the Bible mentioned that Enoch and Elijah not seeing death all of them died in faith as paul said. Heb 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: It is appointed unto mean once to die. If Enoch did not really died, this passages is wrong, as we all know Bible will not contradict itself. Paul explain how this people died in faith: Heb 11:5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God Heb 11:13 These all died in faith, (paul is referring to Enoch, Elijah and those people that walked with God) not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. Apostle John, has his own assessment that no man hath seen God in any time, if Enoch and Elijah really in Heaven of course they will see God: Joh 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. Apostle John also wrote that: 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. "and no man hath ascended up to heaven," John referring the word "heaven" as the Kingdom of God. The question maybe may arise, but it was written, Elijah was brought to heaven by the chariot of fire. 2Ki 2:11 And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. The heaven meantion there is not the House of God, otherwise his son will complete wrote that He God receiving Elijah. Elisha, probably refer "heaven" as the firmanent: According to the Jewish notion there were three heavens, (a) The firmament, as "fowls of the heaven" (Ge 2:19; 7:3,23; Ps 8:8, etc.), "the eagles of heaven" (La 4:19), etc. (b) The starry heavens (De 17:3; Jer 8:2; Mt 24:29). (c) "The heaven of heavens," or "the third heaven" (De 10:14; 1Ki 8:27; Ps 115:16; 148:4; 2Co 12:2). God bless, |
