Subject: Enoch and Elijah didn't see God yet? |
Bible Note: Hello lana, You said regarding Enoch, "which could mean that God put him in a prophetic trance and then terminated his life while he was in the trance...". I'm curious as to what leads you to make this conclusion, since it's only speculation?. We don't know exactly where Enoch was taken but may safely assume into the presence of God from Heb 11:5, "By faith Enoch was taken up so that he would not see death; AND HE WAS NOT FOUND BECAUSE GOD TOOK HIM UP; for he obtained the witness that before his being taken up he was pleasing to God." Genesis 5:24 simply says, "Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him."(NASB) Next, it's pure speculation to state, "it appears that, as in the case of Moses' body God disposed of Enoch's body..." How do you know this? Deut. 34:5-6 is clearly speaking of the death of Moses, not Enoch! I'm not sure how you make this leap?! Lastly, it's highly assumptive to infer that Elijah "is transferred to another prophetic assignment."??? John 3:13 says or infers no such thing! Do you have any further scriptural basis for this claim? May I kindly suggest that you speak more carefully when ascertainly things from scripture and that you also avoid making broad, unsupported, speculations or assumptions!
