How many people in history have been taken up to heaven without dying according to the Bible?
Correct Answer
B) 2
There are two explicit examples in the Bible of people who were taken up directly into heaven without experiencing earthly death - Enoch in Genesis 5:24 and Elijah in 2 Kings 2:11. Genesis 5:24 says "Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away." while 2 Kings 2:11 states that Elijah "went up by a whirlwind into heaven."
So the correct answer is that 2 people in biblical history did not taste death but were brought straight to heaven - Enoch and Elijah.
