Elijah did not die, right?
He was take to heaven, is it the same process of Rapture that Paul talked about?
The same is said of Enoch. God said nobody would live past 120 years. When those two died they ascended to the Re:5 Temple to become part of the 24 Elders. The rest of them arrived the same morning Jesus was resurrected. Jesus showed up in that same Temple 40 days later.
M't:27:52:
And the graves were opened;
and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
1Co:15:20:
But now is Christ risen from the dead,
and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
Re:12:1:
And there appeared a great wonder in heaven;
a woman clothed with the sun,
and the moon under her feet,
and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
When you take the 12 stars to be 12 Prophets from the OT that are now in that Re:4 Temple learning about Temple service in a sinless place. The Re:4 Temple would be the same one in Job:1.
Since marriages do not survive the transition the 12 men are counted and so are their 12 wives. Rather than Adam speaking for Eve, she uses her own voice when talking. By the end of the Bible her crown has 1 star for every male child which means the number of people the number represents is 2x.
Re:12:2:
And she being with child cried,
travailing in birth,
and pained to be delivered.
Re:5:8-10:
And when he had taken the book,
the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb,
having every one of them harps,
and golden vials full of odours,
which are the prayers of saints.
And they sung a new song,
saying,
Thou art worthy to take the book,
and to open the seals thereof:
for thou wast slain,
and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred,
and tongue,
and people,
and nation;
And hast made us unto our God kings and priests:
and we shall reign on the earth.
Mal:4:5-6:
Behold,
I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children,
and the heart of the children to their fathers,
lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
The 3 1/2 years leading up to the return of Jesus are the worst mankind has experienced since the flood. The reason is a few beings from Ge:6 make a return.
When Jesus return He sends a few fallen angels to the fiery lake, burns up all the green grass, etc. He melts 1 city with the fire used on Sodom. The people that dies are resurrected back to life at the GWT event.
When God uses the fire, sinful immortals are sent to the fiery lake, the whole earth is melted. The people that are witnesses to that event, if God does not view them as being sinless, they would also be sent to the same fiery lake sinful angels are sent to. Since none do, it is clear they are all viewed as being sinless, thanks to what they learned from the 24 Elders as they repeat what they are being taught for the last 2,000 years.
