So seriously, You think that God, who works outside of time, has everyone dose away while He sits alone in heaven. What would He be waiting for? There is no time, He is timeless. All events have happened.

Well I guess that’s what happens when you pick and choose your scripture. I’m so glad I have the compilers of the Bible around to help me. You poor people have only YOIOS.

I’ll see you one and raise you three.

Genesis 5:24
And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; For God took him.

2 Kings 2:11
And Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.

Hebrews 11:5
Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him.

2 Kings 2:11
“And Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.”

“Heaven” has several usages in the bible, one of them being the sky above. “Example; the birds of heaven”. Elijah was simply moved by God and taken to a better place on earth. Note that Elijah eventually died later like all the prophets. “Heb.11:32”

“Hebrews 11:5
“Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him.”

If you read verse 13 of the same chapter, it says “these all [including Enoch] died.

Here, God at the time protected Enoch from death “Enoch was targeted for death by the wicked” by moving him from one place to another on the earth, similar to what he did with Elijah. Again, Enoch later died naturally.

Genesis 5:24
And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; For God took him.

Again, taken to a better place by God for protection to spare him of death.
