WHERE are ENOCH and ELIJAH?

Bible Studies - Did Enoch and Elijah Die?

Elijah, Enoch, and Moses

Where Are Enoch and Elijah? by Herbert W. Armstrong (1892-1986)

Did Enoch Die? Scriptures say Yes...

Some relevant verses that speak of Enoch.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

It doesn't say he died, it says he was not and that God took him as is repeated in Hebrews 11:5 below. The apostle Paul states about Enoch ‘that he should not see death’ yet states in verse ‘13 These all died in faith…’

Can you die yet not experience death? Yes, you can.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.

3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.

5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.

9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:

10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

11 Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.

12 Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.

13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.

15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.

16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.

It seems many have a problem with the Jesus (the living word) being eternal and that many were relating to the Father through the Living Word long before his physical ministry. Then again many do not deal with the Living God but a theological one instead and their interpretations of the bible are through carnal minds. How we interpret the bible is a test. Those who are taught by the Living God and not theology higher point of view from which to interpret the bible and creation.

I hate having to fill out a form just to post a comment, but I have had to add that thing where you have to type in the letters that you see in the graphic to be able to post a comment, because I was getting nasty spam stuff. You can still choose anonymous.
