1 | Enoch and Elijah didn't see God yet? | John 3:13 | 00123 | 232469 | ||
Dear bothers and sisters, (John 3:13 ESV) No one has ascended into heaven except he who descended from heaven, the Son of Man. This verse clearly says only Jesus went up to the heaven. So, Enoch and Elijah didn't. But many people argue they indeed did. Then, look at the following verse: (John 1:18 ESV) No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father's side, he has made him known. If Enoch and Elijah ascended into the heaven, how come did they not see God? Three possibilities: (1) Enoch and Elijah didn't ascend into the heaven. (2) Enoch and Elijah did ascend into the heaven, but the heaven is a different heaven from the heaven where God resides. (3) Enoch and Elijah did ascend into the heaven, but they were not allowed to see God until the Resurrection Day. Which one of the above (or any other answer) is correct? Please help my understanding. God bless. Daniel |

Note that what you are saying isn’t what the Lord said here: Jn: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. He said no one has ascended in to heaven, He didn’t say, no one has seen the Lord or the Lord God. Moses seen the Lord God’s back, but he didn’t ascend into Heaven to do so. |

We have a BIG problem because Jesus said Mat 20, 22 KJV But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able. 23 And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father. Heb 1, 6 And again, when he brought in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God do reverence to him. Acts 2,34 WesleyNT 34 For David is not ascended into the heavens; but he saith himself, The Lord said to my Lord, |

The Lord states that no one of the place, earth, meaning us peoples, has ascended to the place, Heaven. He, the Lord Jesus has come from the place, Heaven, into the place, earth, meaning flesh which is made of earth. And note that at the time the Lord said this, it is true, but after His resurrection that which came from Heaven descended into the earth and ascended in to Heaven. Hence those born of Holy Spirit, which is from the place known as Heaven, came into the place that is of earth, flesh, and shall ascend in to Heaven as Jesus did. Jn: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. Also note that those born of the Holy Spirit that Heaven is in them. (Lk:17:21) and is at hand (Lk:10:11, Mk:1:15)for anyone else. The OP was asking about seeing God. And used this verse (Jn:3:13) to question whether or not anyone has seen God, such as Enoch or Elijah, because no one has ascended into Heaven, and pointing to Moses, shows that ascending into Heaven according to scripture wasn’t required to see God. The subject is about seeing God, or whether God has been seen or not. As Moses has experienced, ascension into Heaven isn’t required to see God, when God comes to us, and where we are. |
