No mention in scripture, but I'm encouraged by Elijah's assumption into heaven on a "flaming chariot with flaming horses" (2 Kgs 2:11-12). Here's C.S. Lewis on the question: "It seems to me possible that certain animals may have an immortality, not in themselves, but in the immortality of their masters" ("The Problem of Pain", ch. 9). |

Hi flinky, Sir, you may wish to take a closer look at that passage. "And Elijah went up by a whirlwind to heaven." 2 Kings 2:11b, this verse says nothing at all about animals in heaven, the chariot of fire and horses of fire only separated the two of them as they went along. The whirlwind is what took Eligah to heaven, not the chariot of fire. We should also note that they were, "of (fire)" indicating that they were not actual horses and it was not an actual chariot, even if it had been the means by which Elijah had ascended to heaven, which, by the way, it was not. :-) John |
