Yes, although not everyone goes to heaven. There are only 144,000 people that go to heaven to rule the earth with Jesus (Revelation 14:1, 3), and the rest of mankind will live forever on a paradise earth (Revelation 7:9, Matthew 5:5, Psalms 37:29). It stands to reason as that was God’s plan for us before Adam and Eve sinned (Isaiah 55:11). The earthly resurrection hasn’t happened yet and won’t until after Armageddon (2 Timothy 2:18), however the heavenly resurrection has started and began at the presence of Jesus in 1914 (1 Corinthians 15:21-24, Matthew 24:3-14).
Revelation 14:1, 3
And I saw, and, look! the Lamb standing upon the Mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand having his name and the name of his Father written on their foreheads…And they are singing as if a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders; and no one was able to master that song but the hundred and forty-four thousand, who have been bought from the earth
Revelation 7:9
After these things I saw, and, look! a great crowd, which no man was able to number, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes; and there were palm branches in their hands
Matthew 5:5
“Happy are the mild-tempered ones, since they will inherit the earth
Psalms 37:29
The righteous themselves will possess the earth,
And they will reside forever upon it
Isaiah 55:11
so my word that goes forth from my mouth will prove to be. It will not return to me without results, but it will certainly do that in which I have delighted, and it will have certain success in that for which I have sent it.
2 Timothy 2:18
These very [men] have deviated from the truth, saying that the resurrection has already occurred; and they are subverting the faith of some.
1 Corinthians 15:21-24
21 For since death is through a man, resurrection of the dead is also through a man. 22 For just as in Adam all are dying, so also in the Christ all will be made alive. 23 But each one in his own rank: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who belong to the Christ during his presence. 24 Next, the end, when he hands over the kingdom to his God and Father, when he has brought to nothing all government and all authority and power.
Matthew 24:3-14
3 While he was sitting upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples approached him privately, saying: “Tell us, When will these things be, and what will be the sign of your presence and of the conclusion of the system of things?”
4 And in answer Jesus said to them: “Look out that nobody misleads YOU; 5 for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will mislead many. 6 YOU are going to hear of wars and reports of wars; see that YOU are not terrified. For these things must take place, but the end is not yet.
7 “For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be food shortages and earthquakes in one place after another. 8 All these things are a beginning of pangs of distress.
9 “Then people will deliver YOU up to tribulation and will kill YOU, and YOU will be objects of hatred by all the nations on account of my name. 10 Then, also, many will be stumbled and will betray one another and will hate one another. 11 And many false prophets will arise and mislead many; 12 and because of the increasing of lawlessness the love of the greater number will cool off. 13 But he that has endured to the end is the one that will be saved. 14 And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.

D. not one of the obove. is this a trick question? In Christianity, that is not a shown reality that Jesus bodily went up contained in the sky. thinking Jesus is declared to stroll by walls, seem contained in the variety of many diverse human beings, vanish in skinny air, etc, many theologians argue that he develop into only a ghost or a ingenious and prescient. As for Mary? The Bible says Mary lived with John Zebedee for something of her existence. it really is all it says. The Bible also neglects to inform us what got here about to Joseph the artisan, Mary's husband. Nor Jesus' 0.5 brothers and sisters. Oh nicely. wager it wasn't fairly significant in any case.

Since Jesus died, those of the 144,000 [ Rev. 7;4 & 14;1] who have been chosen to be Kings and Priests with Jesus, when they die, will be taken to heaven. They will not 'taste' death at all.
(John 8:52) The Jews said to him: “Now we do know you have a demon. Abraham died, also the prophets; but you say, ‘If anyone observes my word, he will never taste death at all.’
This applies to those mentioned at ;
(Revelation 20:4) And I saw thrones, and there were those who sat down on them, and power of judging was given them. Yes, I saw the souls of those executed with the ax for the witness they bore to Jesus and for speaking about God, and those who had worshiped neither the wild beast nor its image and who had not received the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand. And they came to life and ruled as kings with the Christ for a thousand years.
(1 Corinthians 6:2-3) Or do YOU not know that the holy ones will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by YOU, are YOU unfit to try very trivial matters? 3 Do YOU not know that we shall judge angels? Why, then, not matters of this life?
All these scriptures refer to the same 144,000.
Not everyone goes to heaven. All others who have EVER died are resurrected [ Rev. 20; 12,13] and if they comply with God's standards, have a future in the flesh, new flesh, back on earth.
(Job 33:25) Let his flesh become fresher than in youth; Let him return to the days of his youthful vigor.’
this has to be future. No one grows ypounger.
(Psalm 37:9) For evildoers themselves will be cut off, But those hoping in Jehovah are the ones that will possess the earth.
(Psalm 37:11) But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth, And they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.

Imagine a 4 dimensional maze of rooms, every room is a unique place and time, and every room leads to every other room by many doors.
Now imagine you are in one of those rooms. One of the doors out of that room leads directly to Heaven. But you walk through another door instead, and go to another room. That room has a door directly to heaven too, but you didn't see it and took another door, there you reached a room where a light was emanating from a door, but there were so many doors around it that looked like they were sharing the light and you weren't sure which one actually was the lighted one... you chose one of the doors closest to what looked like the centre and went through that door. It didn't lead to heaven but to another room and so you're left to choose another door.
Imagine now you kept following the lighted doors, kept choosing doors that were as close to the centre of the light as you could get, at some point you get to a room where the lighted door has been opened, and you can see clearly which door it is. When you get there you look up and see everyone has been waiting patiently for you to arrive.

As Christ arose, He brought from the grave a multitude of captives. The earthquake at His death had rent open their graves, and when He arose, they came forth with Him. They were those who had been co-laborers with God, and who at the cost of their lives had borne testimony to the truth. Now they were to be witnesses for Him who had raised them from the dead.
During His ministry, Jesus had raised the dead to life. He had raised the son of the widow of Nain, and the ruler’s daughter and Lazarus. But these were not clothed with immortality. After they were raised, they were still subject to death. But those who came forth from the grave at Christ’s resurrection were raised to everlasting life. They ascended with Him as trophies of His victory over death and the grave. These, said Christ, are no longer the captives of Satan; I have redeemed them. I have brought them from the grave as the first fruits of My power, to be with Me where I am, nevermore to see death or experience sorrow.
These went into the city, and appeared unto many, declaring, Christ has risen from the dead, and we be risen with Him. Thus was immortalized the sacred truth of the resurrection. The risen saints bore witness to the truth of the words, “Thy dead men shall live, together with My dead body shall they arise.” Their resurrection was an illustration of the fulfillment of the prophecy, “Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.” Isa. 26:19.

All those who had already died and who were to be part of the first resurrection and rule with Jesus as kings and priests were resurrected as soon as he cleaned heaven up and cast Satan and the demons down to the earth. Any of those people who have died since then have been immediately resurrected to join them. Those of the "other sheep" have not started being resurrected and will not be until Jesus cleans up the earth as they will live here.

The apostle Paul wrote to the Thessalonians about the resurrection: "But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep (in the grave). For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first" (1 Thessalonians 4:13-16)
....."No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man [Jesus Christ] who is in heaven." (John 3:13)
This scripture makes two points significant to our discussion here. First, these are Jesus' own words. If anyone had gone to heaven, Jesus would know about it.
Second, John recorded these words many years after Jesus died and ascended to heaven-still affirming that no one other than Jesus had gone to heaven.
Whose voices, then, did John hear when he recorded in the book of Revelation what he heard and saw? He refers to voices many places in the book. Let's notice two such examples. First: "The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within. And they do not rest day or night, saying: 'Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!'" (Revelation 4:8).
Second: "Whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever, the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying: 'You are Worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power; for You created all things, and by Your will they exist and were created'" (verses 9-11).
The Bible shows us that many thousands of angels appear before God's throne, and they speak with loud voices. "Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice: 'Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom, and strength and honor and glory and blessing!'" (Revelation 5:11-12).
We have seen that the Scriptures show no human-besides Jesus the Messiah-has ever entered heaven. The voices referred to in Revelation 19, then, are those of angelic beings who surround God's throne.

none that has been recorded. I think none period. because we the creation of God have become so corrupt. it's no wonder God hasn't struck us down. wait a minute Jesse duplantis went to heaven,but he didn't stay there,he was there only because God wanted us to know he is about to send Jesus which is going to happen very very very very very very very soon.
