Bible Question: Does anyone have scripture about if people went to Heaven in the Old testament? They did not know Jesus so how did they get to Heaven? |
Bible Answer: Well in 2 Kings 2:11-12 Elijah was taken into heaven by a whirl wind. In Gen.5:24 enoch was taken up as well, both without death. In Luke 23:24 Jesus said "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise." And the term paradise is used to indicate heaven or the presence of God. So to get to heaven in the old testament they made sacrifices to atone for there sins like you see in Leviticus, all the different sacrifices for the different sins , but when Jesus came and died for us He became the ultimate sacrafice. So now he atones for our sins. |
