Bible Note: Graceful Elijah and Enoch were taken up, because of their faith, rightoeusness was accounted to them. Just as Abraham was deemed righteous by faith. It wasn't faith in themselves it was faith in the coming Messiah. "If heaven heare is the sky, one can make the assumption that Elijah did not go to Heaven, but if Elijah went to Heaven...HOW?" God took him. Again God is God He can do anything He desires. It isn't a loophole it is God's desire. You keep missing the point God is God He can and He will do what He desires. We may not understand it, we may not like it, it might not appear to be fair, it may even seem to contradict what we already know. but the fact remains God is God all we have to do is trust Him not try to impose our standard of performance on Him.
