While at least two people didn’t die, Jesus spoke of only the Son of man ascending into heaven. Jesus next said the Son of man would need to be lifted up.
John 3:13-14 (KJV)
(Jesus said) “And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:”
Enoch didn’t die. God took him somewhere.
Gen 5:22-24 (KJV) And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: 23 And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years: 24 And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.
As Elijah was walking with Elisha he “went up by a whirlwind into heaven”.
2 Kings 2:11 (KJV) 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.
How can what Jesus said in John 3:13-14 be reconciled with what happened to Enoch, Elijah and Jesus?
