      But Moses standing beside Jesus along with Elijah during “transfiguration” Matthew 17:1-9; Mark 9:2-10; Luke 9:28-36.. nevertheless all who believed righteous entered in the kingdom of God will consider witnesses/saints watching and praying over us even Rahab the prostitute who helped Joshua to conquer Jericho (James 2:25).

    I would like to draw your attention on a scripture, which is found in the Book of John 3: 13, where Jesus told Nicodemus, no man has ascended into heaven but the one who descended from heaven, The Son of Man, (who is Jesus).
    Enoch as a prophet of God, prophesied that God was going to excecute his judgement against those who refused to obey Him. Such statement caused him a lot of hostility from his enemies. In the Book of Hebrew 11: 5 says that Enoch was transferred so as not to see death, and he was nowhere to be found. God made his body disappear, the same way he did, with Moses’ body.

      Concerning Elijah; 2 King 2:11 says Elijah ascended to the heavens in the windstorm.
      Windstorm could only exist, where there is an atmosphere, so it should be understood as a physical heaven, which means that he was raised up from his companion Elisha’s sight, who he was walking with.
      Elijah was tranferred by God to avoid being persecuted by his enemies. Elijah did not die then, many years later as a prophet, he wrote a letter to King Jeroham condemning his idolatrous behaviour.
      Besides, Elijah was also known to disappear/teleport (see 1 Kings 18:12)

      @@ifektivenigerian1532 Elijah and Enoch were not taken up to the third heaven...they were taken to "shamayim". While we translate this as "heaven", it is more appropriate to call it a "pleasant place". Jesus, Himself, spoke about it - recall the "Bosom of Abraham".
      No one ascended to heaven before Jesus Christ. Before Jesus, people would reside in Abraham's Bosom...a "pleasant place", right next to Sheol. Jesus released these people and took them to heaven upon being raised, Himself (by The Father). God saw that there was a sinless being in Hell, and he was released.

    For the longest time I thought these two were the "two witnesses". But only one is, Elijah. The other witness is John the Apostle. These are confirmed in Scripture.
    Also, I do believe that the Apostle John was also taken up before death but without any fanfare, or mention in the Bible.

    That Enoch and Elijah could be the two witnesses to come sounds interesting. Jesus called John the Baptist the Elijah to come and the Transfiguration seems like Moses and Elijah showed up in immortal bodies, so I am inclined to think these two themselves are not the witnesses come. But we will recognize the witnesses by the comparison to Moses and Elijah, if we are willing.

    Explaining the "two witnesses" Elijah & John the Apostle.
    Malachi 4:5 KJV
    Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
    ---- This explains Elijah
    John was the only Apostle that was not marytr'd, his death is a mystery. He was "taken up" without fanfare before death. He will be martry'd when the "two witnesses' are killed.
    John 21:22-23 NIV (NIV explains this clearer than KJV)
    Jesus answered, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You must follow me.” Because of this, the rumor spread among the believers that this disciple would not die.
    ---- This verse was speaking of the Apostle John
    Rev 10:11 KJV
    And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.
    ---- John was being told this in Rev 10, the chapter just before Rev 11.
    Hope this helps some see the "two witnesses" are Elijah & John the Apostle

      @deanfry879 Bible; Book of Enoch; book of Jasher; Kabbalah
      There are early Jewish writings that suggests that Elijah was an angel because there was no known origin and/or parents. And also that he just came down from heaven like an angel. Remember when Elisha was getting ribbed about his master flying away? Doesn't it seem odd that they would all know that he was going to fly away the way he did, and that it wasn't surprising to all of them?
      And speaking of Elisha, would you believe that Enoch's second child, right after Methuselah, was named.... that's right: Elisha.
      There's soooo much more

    • @deanfry879

      @@michaelnewton3506 It does appear when Elijah was about to be taken up that it was common knowledge considering how the company of the prophets kept mentioning it to Elisha as they traveled from town to town. Methuselah had a brother named Elisha. So what? The book of Numbers mentioned a woman named Noah. There are a number of people mentioned who had the same name as someone more famous. I do not know of any reason why Elisha might not have been a rather common name, like Elijah is today. Even Jesus is a rather common name in countries that don't speak English.

      @@deanfry879 I completely understand your scepticism. The fact that the departures of both men from the earth were in many ways identical is also very intriguing. But I agree with you, all of these could just be strange anomalies. However, when you finish this truth out with Enoch's own words, there's really no other option.
      First, he says at one point, that he will not be remembered, but will be as one forgotten. When Enoch has his vision of weeks, I believe it's chapter 89, he describes the sheep that represents Elijah, and he sees it "coming back to himself" after his ministry is concluded.
      I've been studying the two witnesses for over 50 years. Believe it or not, Jude 9 is what actually opened this all up!! It makes much more sense, God having one man, not two, not taste death and sending that one man, the original prophet, three times to earth. At the beginning, middle, and then at the end.

    Anyone can go to heaven (air) without dying, just buy a plane ticket. Some people have gone into heaven (space) in a rocket. Apparantly some landed on the moon. But such things weren't available at the time of Enoch and Elijah. They didn't go the third heaven where God dwells, nor has anyone else but Christ himself.

    Have you considered that, if they went to Heaven, they would have done that without a savior. So there would have been no reason for Jesus to come. Yet, all have sinned, so they needed a savior.

    The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints have an interesting take on this. We believe that these men came down from heaven to restore the keys of the priesthood, which had been lost to the passage of time, to the earth through Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery to help prepare the world for the Second Coming. Moses restored the keys of the gathering of Isreal, Elias the keys of the Abrahamic covenant, Elijah the keys of sealing authority. D&C 11, Joseph Smith-History 1:
    As for Enoch we have his story in Moses 6 and 7 of the Pearl of Great Price, saying he built a city named Zion in which everyone was taken to heaven, which is commonly believed to be the city which is said to come down in Revelations 3:12 and 21:2
