Nearly everyone, if they could choose the way they die, would say they want to die warm in their bed, asleep.

No pain, just peace.

But an even better choice would be not to die at all.

That happened for two men in the Bible, Enoch and Elijah.

They were just whist away by Yahweh. Why did they get this special

treatment? Even Yeshua had to die. There are some who believe that this special exception to the

biblical precept that mortals are appointed to die once was also given to the Apostle John. Some believe that John never died and may

still be among us. Welcome to the Ghost in You podcast, a podcast about the weird, the wonderful,

and the terrifying in the Bible. I'm Diane Student, your guide and host on this strange

Episode 24, They Didn't Die. Before we explore who Enoch and Elijah were, I want to point out that I'm being very specific that Enoch and Elijah did not die.

There are many videos on YouTube addressing that Enoch and Elijah didn't go to heaven.

I agree, and that doesn't need to be a part of this narrative to make it supernatural and weird. The Bible is clear that Yeshua was

the first human to go to heaven, and no one could go there until he died and did so. Yeshua says,

in John chapter 3 verse 13, no one has ascended into heaven except

he who descended from heaven, the son of man. The Greek word for heaven in this verse is

Uranos, which means air, heaven, sky, and more specifically, the abode of God. For many of us, heaven is a place where people go after

they die. But what does the Bible say? The Apostle Paul makes a peculiar claim in 2 Corinthians

chapter 12 verses 2 to 4. I know a man in Christ who 14 years ago was caught up to the third heaven.

Whether in the body or out of the body, I do not know. God knows.

And I know that this man was caught up into paradise.

Whether in the body or out of the body, I do not know, God knows.
