Subject: Dr. B. What does aggelos mean? |
Bible Note: Hi Dr. B, In looking at Elijah's destination, I have seen referenced the verse John 3:13 "no one has ascended into heaven". Since ascended, "to go up", is in the active voice, would this not mean someone who ascends into heaven of their own volition, and would not necessarily be referring to someone who was caught up, who went up under another's volition, which would be a passive voice verb? Love in Christ, Mark |
