Bible Question:
There were two biblical characters who were taken to Heaven without experiencing death. I know Elijah was one, but who was the other one? Thank you so much! |
Bible Answer: Greetings SandyP: The other person you are thinking about is Enoch the father of Methuselah and a descendent of Seth. In Hebrews 11:5 we read of Enoch and are given more understanding of his situation: "By faith Enoch was translated (changed) 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." Enoch is a beautiful picture of Christians who will be alive when Christ comes, they will be changed in a moment and will not see death. It is also interesting that Enoch was translated before God judged the earth by the flood. Robert Nicholson |
