Two men went into heaven without dying!
Hebrews 11:5:
"It
was by faith that Enoch was taken up to heaven without dying - "he
disappeared, because God took him." For before he was taken up, he was
known as a person who pleased God."
2 Kings 2:1-18:
"When
the LORD was about to take Elijah up to heaven in a whirlwind, Elijah
and Elisha were traveling from Gilgal. And Elijah said to Elisha, "Stay
here, for the LORD has told me to go to Bethel."
But Elisha
replied, "As surely as the LORD lives and you yourself live, I will
never leave you!" So they went down together to Bethel.
The group
of prophets from Bethel came to Elisha and asked him, "Did you know that
the LORD is going to take your master away from you today?"
"Of course I know," Elisha answered. "But be quiet about it."
Then Elijah said to Elisha, "Stay here, for the LORD has told me to go to Jericho."
But
Elisha replied again, "As surely as the LORD lives and you yourself
live, I will never leave you." So they went together to Jericho.
Then
the group of prophets from Jericho came to Elisha and asked him, "Did
you know that the LORD is going to take your master away from you
today?"
"Of course I know," Elisha answered. "But be quiet about it."
Then Elijah said to Elisha, "Stay here, for the LORD has told me to go the Jordan River."
But again Elisha replied, "As surely as the LORD lives and you yourself live, I will never leave you." So they went on together.
Fifty
men from the group of prophets also went and watched from a distance as
Elijah and Elisha stopped beside the Jordan River. Then Elijah folded
his cloak together and struck the water with it. The river divided, and
the two of them went across on dry ground!
When they came to the other side, Elijah said to Elisha, "Tell me what I can do for you before I am taken away."
And Elisha replied, "Please let me inherit a double share of your spirit and become your successor."
"You
have asked a difficult thing," Elijah replied. "If you see me when I
am taken from you, then you will get your request. But if not, then you
won't."
As they were walking along and talking, suddenly a
chariot of fire appeared, drawn by horses of horses of fire. It drove
between the two men, separating them, and Elijah was carried by a
whirlwind into heaven. Elisha saw it and cried out, "My father! My
father! I see the chariots and charioteers of Israel!" And as they
disappeared from sight, Elisha tore his clothes in distress.
Elisha
picked up Elijah's cloak, which had fallen when he was taken up. Then
Elisha returned to the bank of the Jordan River. He struck the water
with Elijah's cloak and cried out, "Where is the LORD, the God of
Elijah?" Then the river divided, and Elisha went across.
When
the group of prophets from Jericho saw from a distance what happened,
they exclaimed, "Elijah's spirit rests upon Elisha!" And they went to
meet him and bowed to the ground before him. "Sir," they said, "just
say the word and fifty of our strongest men will search the wilderness
for your master. Perhaps, the Spirit of the LORD has left him on some
mountain or in some valley."
"No," Elisha said, "don't send them."
But they kept urging him until they shamed him into agreeing, and he
finally said, "All right, send them." So fifty men searched for three
days but did not find Elijah. Elisha was still at Jericho when they
returned. "Didn't I tell you not to go?" he asked."
