Elijah

If you want men's opinions; they will tell you Elijah and Enoch as many others. But if you want the straight facts from the Bible; It
was noone. (see JN. 3:13 and ACTS 2:34; the only man that's in heaven is Jesus himself)

I will prove it to you; see these sites

Did Elijah go to heaven?

First of all; we know he didn't go to heaven because the Bible tells us in JOHN 3:13 "NO MAN HATH ASCENDED UP TO HEAVEN, BUT HE THAT CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN, EVEN THE SON OF MAN WHICH IS IN HEAVEN."

So to determine where he went to; we have to find out a few things. First we have to know the three heavens from our Bible.

THE THREE HEAVENS

First Heaven = This is also called the firmament or expanse of heaven. It is the heaven where the birds fly and where the clouds give rain. (Gen.1:26; 2:20; 8:2 & 1Kings 18:45)

Second Heaven = This refers to outerspace where the sun, moon and stars can be found. (Gen.22:17 & Exodus 32:13 & Joshua 10:13)

Third Heaven = The Apostle Paul tells us that the heaven of God's abode is the "third heaven." In the Old Testament this is often designated by the phrase "the heaven of heavens." (Joshua 2:11 & Psalms 11:4 & 2Corinthians 12:2 equated with v.4 = Paradise.

Was Elijah taken up by a whirlwind? 2KINGS 2:11. Wind would only lift him up in the atmosphere, or the first heaven. Did his disciples think he had been taken to the heaven of God, or did they want to go look for him thinking he may have been sit down nearby? 2KINGS 2:16. Several years after Elijah's miraculous removal , did he write a letter to King Jehoram of Judah, thus showing he was still living somewhere on earth? 2CHRON.21:1,5,6,12-15. (2KINGS 3:1 Elijah had been taken up by a whirlwind before King Jehoram ascended to the throne in 18th year of King Jehosophat's 25 year reign.)

Elijah didn't die. Instead, he was carried to heaven in a whirlwind by a "fiery chariot with fiery horses" (II Kings 2:11).

There are actually two characters in the Hebrew bible who don't die but are taken directly to heaven. Elijah is one; the other is Enoch (Gen 5:24) who "walked with God, and then he was no more, for God took him."

I believe the Book actually mentions 3! Enoch, Elijah, and
I think Elisha, Elijahs proselyte was Translated too.
Did you know an AVATAR is really a human being who
advances to a state where they can take their physical body
with them when they go to spirit, and actually come back
and reassemble it.
I recently learned we are supposed to take our physical body with us when we go back to spirit.
Taking all my studies into consideration, and putting 2 and 2
together. I would imagine it has something to do with
NOT feeding the destructive, (recycling) aspect of Creation.

10 "You have asked a difficult thing," Elijah said, "yet if you see me when I am taken from you, it will be yours—otherwise not."

11 As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a chariot of fire and horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind. 12 Elisha saw this and cried out, "My father! My father! The chariots and horsemen of Israel!" And Elisha saw him no more. Then he took hold of his own clothes and tore them apart.

Flesh and blood cannot enter heaven.Therefore,there has to be death in a fleshly sense even if it is in the 'twinkling of an eye'(1Cor.15:52)

Elijah, who was then transubstatiated into the Archangel Metatron and given the keys to the vaults of divine wisdom, the only being besides G-d himself given such access.

The Catholic church is a non-Christian cult that twists God's Word to suit its own evil intent.

The Catholic church says Mary was sinless (see reply above, that's why I writing this), but God's Word says ALL have sinned, including Mary.

And Jesus died in the flesh on the cross, but He overcame death and rose in all His Glory.

Do not believe the lies of the Catholic church, believe God's Word.
