Because Jesus also said he was not Elijah. That is what we call a paradox and we have to be sure there are no contradictions.Well Jesus already said that, so why would you care
The Bible said he was buryed. "He buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, opposite Beth-peor, but no one knows his burial place to this day” (Deuteronomy 34:5–6). Enoch was taken alive and did not leave a body behind. Although actually everyone is taken when they die. To be raptured means to be snatched up out of the body to heaven to be with the lord. The pretrib rapture means all who are alive in Christ will be taken before the tribulation period. Because they restrain evil so they have to be removed. If there was a nuclear war and a lot of people died at once then the would not even know that there was a rapture. It is believed that the resurrection is at the end of the 1,000 year reign of christ when we will return and be reunited with our body and life out our life forever here on the Earth.How do you know? No one saw how Moses left the earth.
I care that there appears to be a contradiction but when I check it out it is just a paradox. People give me contradictions all the time but when I check into them there is no contradiction. I am convinced that there are no contradictions in the Bible.Well Jesus already said that, so why would you care that John did not make a similar claim?

In Matthew 11:14, Jesus refers to John the Baptist:no contradiction, no paradox.
In Matthew 11:14, Jesus refers to John the Baptist:
John’s Denial:
- “And if you are willing to accept it, he is Elijah who is to come.”
- Here, Jesus acknowledges the connection between John and the prophetic role of Elijah.
- Interestingly, when asked directly, John the Baptist denied being Elijah (John 1:21).
- He understood that he was not the literal Elijah but rather the fulfillment of the prophetic expectation.
Moses wrote those words before He walked out into the desert. He told them not to come looking, so he told them he would be buried, not that he was already buried. Moses was punished, unlike Elijah, who was obedient to God. Moses would never have a glorious departure from the earth, like Elijah did. But Moses still could enter Paradise.The Bible said he was buryed. "He buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, opposite Beth-peor, but no one knows his burial place to this day” (Deuteronomy 34:5–6). Enoch was taken alive and did not leave a body behind.

I think people fight and argue over who, what, when and why. So we need to read the bible and be lead by the Holy Spirit of God and with so many opposing viewpoints we need to be careful. For me those that do not believe in a pretrib rapture most likely well be left behind. If there is a 7 year tribulation period because the scriptura is not real clear on that.
