Sorry , a letter to king Jehoram OF JUDAH . Not king Jehoram Of Isreal
OK, I see. That means Elijah was in between the earth and the heaven where he wrote the letter from.

2 Chronicles 21:12 , a letter from Elijah to the King Of Isreal

I used heaven(s) because the hebrew word rendered heaven(s) "shamayim" is always in plural . It basically means something high or lofty
Elijah was still alive when he wrote to the king. If you read 2 kings 1 from verse 1. After the death of King Ahaziah which was prophesied by Elijah, Jehoram became king.

Excellent post . For clarification , the scripture even mentioned that he wrote a letter to the King Of Isreal many years after his ascension , which shows he didnt ascend into the heavens where spirit beings reside
I'll like to know the scripture reference to back this up. BTW, how many heavens do we have?

Elijah and enoch, like every imperfect human died .
Flesh and blood cannot enter heaven, especially a body in sin cannot come to Gods presence.

The scriptures did not say Enoch was taken to heaven .
The scriptures states elijahs activity on earth long after he was taken in a whilwind. So the heaven mentioned there is therefore not the heaven where spirit creatures reside but that of the physical heaven where birds and flying creatures move in .

Another aspect to look at is why jesus came to die for us if there was already a means to enter heaven, gain perfection and live forever.
Interesting! Any scripture reference to back this up?

SirWere:
lied kehuh Way I see it, Elijah and Enoch didn't "ascend". A chariot or let's say messenger had to come get them. Jesus, on the other hand, ascended to heaven without let say "help".
as·cend\ə-ˈsend\
: to go up : to rise or move toward the sky
: to slope or lead upward
: to rise toa higher or more powerful position in a government, company, etc.
Full Definition
intransitive verb
1 a : to move upward <the balloon ascended>
b : to slope upward
2 a : to rise from a lower level or degree <ascend to power>
b : to go back in time or in order of genealogical successiontransitive verb
1 : to go or move up <ascend a staircase>
2 : to succeed to : occupy <ascend the throne>


And Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. From the definition of ascend, it's obvious that Elijah ascended into heaven

Matthew 17:3 reAd it o cos elijah is exactly where moses is and they met Jesus..... he is in heaven nw
That portion said they appeared to the disciples . Remember Jesus Christ also appeared to the disciples before ascending to heaven?

In heaven undecided
But Jesus Christ said no one has ascended into heaven
Christianity EtcWhere Is Elijah? by bencobenz(op): 2:54pm On Nov 20, 2015
2nd Kings 2:11 talked about how Elijah ascended to heaven by a whirlwind. In John 3:13 Jesus Christ while talking to Nicodemus said no man has ascended into heaven. If in the old testament we were told Elijah went to heaven and in the new testament Jesus Christ whom we believed came from heaven said no man has gone into heaven, then where is prophet Elijah?

So I'm not the only one in this mess. I woke up yesterday to check my mails just to discover there's no internet service on my tab, I initially thought its the normal network wahala I received the greatest shock of my life when I called the customer care and was told that I have been barred. I just had to change the Sim and dump the useless network somewhere.
For crying out loud, why will you bar my registered line due to your own laxity? If my registration is incomplete, why didn't you inform me earlier to update? It is so annoying.
PoliticsRe: Protesters Storm NASS Over Edo $75m Loan Request by bencobenz(m): 9:04pm On Aug 05, 2015
We care. Be honest to itself, can you really say the way Lucky left Edo state is the way it is today? The fact that you hate oshiomole does not mean you shouldn't say the truth when you see one. The world Bank had said they are satisfied with the way the 1st tranche of the loan was used based on the project the state government highlighted. It is based on this premise they want to release the 2nd tranche.


voltron:
who cares what lucky did .. so because lucky got away scot free we should look at oshiomoles bugly eyes go scot free too.. see thinking

Thank God u mentioned some projects, can u point to some projects Lucky did with all the allocations he collected for 8years?

Which truth is glaring? PDP ruled for 10 years in Edo with nothing to show for it. Oshiomole came and turned the whole state around, yet u av not seen anything the man has done. It's OK, kontinu.
kodlins:
Even when the truth is glaring to you?
Come to Edo and see the plight of the people.


How does he hope to pay back?
Ge os,sue to leave office in less than a year with no plan on how to service the loan yet you shout sponsored protesters.
