Elijah Went to Heaven

Pastor Jack Ward

Elijah is the second man raptured in the Old Testament. Enoch was raptured just before the judgment of the flood in Genesis 5:24 And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him. The prophet Elijah is one of the most interesting and colorful people in the Bible, and God used him during an important time in Israel’s history to oppose a wicked king and bring revival to the land. Elijah’s ministry marked the beginning of the end of Baal worship in Israel. Elijah’s life was filled with turmoil. At times he was bold and decisive, and at other times fearful and tentative. He alternately demonstrates victory and defeat, followed by recovery. Elijah knew both the power of God and the depths of depression.
