Is it possible God showed His Power to rapture believers alive to Heaven when Christ returns when some of us will be left behind.

ENOCH
Genesis 5:24 And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.
ELIJAH
Kings II 2:11 And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.

Sorry I'm not clear on your question.
It is a fact that God allowed Elijah and Enoch to avoid death and took them to heaven. As for the "rapture" it will not be a secrect when Christ returns. The bible tells us Every eye will behold him and every knee will bow before him and acknowledge he is Christ. It is impossible for God to show his presence to this earth and humans to be unaware. There's too much power there. There is no rapture, but there certainly is a return of Christ to earth to take with him, those who have been forgiven of sins.

John 3:13 Moreover, no man has ascended into heaven but he that descended from heaven, the Son of man.
No, Old Testament Saint went to heaven, by way of rapture, resurrection, or any other way.
If they had been, then Jesus didn't know what he was saying, or God had done so without telling him.

Many of the Old Testament saints were raptured alive unto Heaven. There aren't too many different episodes in the Old Testament which we can read of; except in the life of Elijah; which you can read of in 2 Kings 2:1-11. But many of the Old Testament saints were raised from the dead, at the time when Jesus was raised from the dead, on the 3rd. day after his crucifixion. You can read of this in Matt. 27:52-53.

Yes, Enoch (Gen.5:24) and Elijah (2Kings 2:11). When the rapture happens, no believers will be left behind.

"Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven" (2 Kings 2:11), "Enoch was translated that he should not see death" (Hebrews 11:5).
Your idea of Rapture personally is confusing to me, sorry I can't answer your second question.
Blessings!

I have not any theory as to the place to procure the variety of stupid theory as that ! Nowhere does the Bible coach that, as to a million Cor 15:50: "Now this I say that flesh and blood won't be able to inherit the dominion of God; nor doth corruption inherit incorruption." The organic physique is flesh and blood, including bones, muscular tissues, nerves, veins, arteries, and their countless fluids; and, as such, it quite is of a corruptible physique and form, in possibility of dissolution, to rot and moulder. yet no such ingredient shall inherit the heavenly areas; for this have been for corruption to inherit incorruption, it is little greater effective than a contradiction in words. The heavenly inheritance is incorruptible, and by no skill fadeth away, a million Peter a million:4. How can this be possessed with the help of flesh and blood, it is corruptible and could fade away? It could desire to get replaced into ever-in the time of substance, in the previous it quite is able to possessing the heavenly inheritance. The sum is that the bodies of the saints, while they shall upward push lower back, would be very much replaced from what they at the instant are, and much for the greater effective. they at the instant are corruptible, flesh and blood; they are going to be then incorruptible, wonderful, and non secular bodies, suited for the celestial international and state, the place they are ever afterwards to stay, and function their eternal inheritance. <><

The Rapture is a MYTH and is UN-BIBLICAL
The term is TRANSFIGURATION and has NOTHING to do with what will happen to YOUR soul......if you continue to believe this false doctrine, a mere tradition of men, you are going to be in for a very unpleasant awakening comes the second trump when the TRUE Christ comes to bail out those who have been mislead by the spurious messiah.....

Elijah and Enoch were "taken up" into heaven without dying.
