Did Elijah Go To Heaven To Be With God? CQ Podcast Highlight

Moses’ death is plainly recorded in Deuteronomy 34. While this is a clearly stated end of his life, Jude 1:9 adds the unusual detail of Michael the archangel disputing with Satan over Moses’ body, possibly to prevent the people of Israel from idolizing it.

Elijah’s departure in 2 Kings 2 is often misunderstood, as he was taken up by a whirlwind with fiery chariots present. Elijah did NOT go to God’s dwelling place in heaven! Jesus’ statement in John 3:13 confirms that no one ascended to God’s heaven before him.

Now, both Moses and Elijah appeared in The Mount of Transfiguration vision. Jesus plainly explained that this was a vision and NOT a literal resurrection of Moses and Elijah.

Finally, relating to Enoch, “God took him”. While many notions exist about Enoch never dying, careful reading of the scripture texts in question reveal that he did die and likely didn’t know that his death was imminent.

How do we know that none of these people died as mysteriously as many believe? What are the logical, scriptural answers? Listen to the full podcast now to learn more:
