The notion that Elijah was merely taken from one place on earth to another is one I've never encountered before. Hmm. But I can see the constraints which chrstian beliefs impose.

The traditional Jewish understanding is that Elijah was indeed removed from the earth altogether without having to undergo death.

One explanation is that there are two parts to Heaven. It was not until Jesus that the inner part was opened (Rev 4:1); Elijah would be in the outer part until such a time.

There is no abomination that can’t get a “nihil obstat” and imprimatur. Believe me, I know.

They can be bandied about like a K.

HUH?

After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.”
