There are two New Testament stories about Jesus ascending to heaven, by the same author although probably written several years apart.
- Luke 24:51 says that Jesus ascended to heaven on the evening of the day of his resurrection near Bethany, in the presence of his eleven disciples.
- Acts 1:4 does not really say how many were assembled together when Jesus ascended to heaven forty days after his resurrection, but it certainly seems to include the eleven disciples.

∙ 8y ago- The Bible doesn't tell us exactly how many, but it does say, "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." in Matthew 7:13 and 14.
- 144,000 Revelation 14:3-4
- I'm with the first estimate. Statistically, it would be a shame if only 144 000 go to heaven, out of the billions of Christians who have ever lived or will live.

∙ 12y agoTONS!! Here is just a few:
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life"
John 3:16
"Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God's one and only Son."
John 3:18
"Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on them."
John 3:36
"Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life."
John 5:24
As you can see it those who believe, trust, Christ as their savior who go to Heaven.
ANSWER:
Unfortunately, all the above speak to 'eternal life' and not a quote from Jesus about going to heaven, which there is one as follows: 'NO ONE has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven.' (John 3:13).
A good rule when reading the Bible is 'let the Bible interpret itself!!'
Eternal life is not about going to heaven. INDEED, the tabernacle of God will be with men on EARTH as Revelations 21 clearly states and Jesus mentions in the Beatitudes in Matthew 5 - the meek(humble) will inherit the EARTH.
Read it for yourself as another rule is, believe no one but search yourself for the truth as only you are responsible for your salvation. Blessings...

∙ 15y agoHow many people go to heaven is simply determined by the number of people who accept Jesus Christ as their Savior.
Wiki User

The exact number is not mentioned in the Bible, but hopefully it will be numerous.

People have many different beliefs about heaven, ranging from a city of gold to nothing. There aren't any facts about it, only beliefs and stories.
What sort of people did Jesus mix with?
Jesus had dealings with many different types of people. Many of His encounters with people are recorded in the Gospels. He was particularly friendly with people who needed Him - people who knew they were sinners and who were outcasts from the society of His day. This drew criticism from the proud religious leaders of His day.

What day is when Mary went to heaven?
AnswerThe gospels say that Jesus rose from the grave on the third day - Sunday. The passages in which Jesus rose to heaven are called the ascension, and are only found in Luke's Gospel and Acts of the Apostles. Luke says that Jesus was seen by the disciples to ascend bodily to heaven on the evening of the same day as his resurrection from the grave (Luke 24:51) - Sunday.Acts of the Apostles, written by the same author but some time later, says that Jesus remained on earth for forty days after his resurrection from the grave and was then seen by the disciples to ascend bodily to heaven. Acts is not sufficiently specific about exactly how many days the risen Jesus was on earth to say which day this was.

Are Jesus and Mary the only souls in Heaven?
According to the Catholic Faith that's not true. There are many souls in Heaven including those of the saints. There are many souls of lay people as well who have done good deeds in their earthly life. In the Bible, when Jesus was crucified, he told the robber on the right "I shall see you in Paradise with me today." This clearly indicates that there are many souls in Heaven apart from Jesus and Marys'.

Why do you think jesus waited with the disciples forty days after his resurrection before going to heaven?
A:It is unclear just when Jesus did ascend to heaven, if this is historically correct. Acts of the Apostles tells us that he ascended after forty days, during which he was seen by many (1:3). On this account, he could have chosen to wait until enough people had seen him to prove his resurrection was real. However, Luke's Gospel, written by the same author but somewhat earlier, says that Jesus ascended to heaven on the evening of the day of his resurrection (24:51). Paul, in his epistles, seems to have believed that the resurrection and the ascension to heaven were one and the same event - in other words, that Jesus was resurrected spiritually and that there was no physical resurrection. Matthew and Mark do not mention an ascension to heaven, and Matthew's account of the appearance of the risen Jesus to the disciples seems to rule out the ascension in Acts as well as that in Luke. On these accounts we can not say that Jesus waited forty days, or even that he ascended bodily to heaven at all.

What do Jewish call heaven?
Jews don't believe in heaven or hell. They only believe in Sheol, a dumping ground for all dead people, good and bad. It was Jesus who introduced the concept of heaven and hell to the world. Many people use the term heaven and hell, but, it is really a Christian idea, not a Jewish one. Jesus was a reform Jew, but, the Jews in general have rejected Jesus and his teachings.
