Elijah Ascends to Heaven​

2 And it came to pass, when the Lord was about to take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.

2 Kings 2:1

Hmm. Wonder what happened there.

Didn't Abraham also ascend to heaven?

There are 3 types of Heavens of which the English word ‘heaven’ is used to describe in scripture.
Elijah went up into the first, atmospheric heaven, where birds fly, and tornados and whirlwinds spin and twist and relocate eartly bodies.
Neil Armstrong went up into the second, outer space heaven, where the sun and moon reside, and the constellations of Orion and Pleaides the Job wrote about.
Only Jesus Christ, the eternal God, descended from and reascended back up bodily to the 3rd heaven. Ezekiel, John and Paul’s unnamed vision writer saw visions of this 3rd heaven where God’s throneroom exists, but noone but Jesus has bodily ascended there yet. Not Elijah’s body, Not Enoch, Abraham, Moses, Mary, Mohammed, nor any other mortal created being’s body has ever yet crossed into that heaven.

And Enoch…. And maybe Paul? Or at least Paul ‘knew a man who ascended.’ The assumption is that he was talking about himself.

So what do you make of all that?

The bible is more a puzzle.

Than a christianity for dummies™ book.
