It says he was taken into heaven in a cloud.
*It was Elijah that was taken to heaven on a chariot in a cloud.

Answer:
Elijah was taken up to the "first" heaven within the earth's breathable atmosphere where there are clouds and where birds fly, only to be set back down at another location on the earth. People do it all the time today.
God is in the "third" heaven, of which Paul spoke of going in vision (II Cor.12:1-2)... and from which Jesus actually came:
"And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but He that came down from heaven, even the Son of Man which is in heaven." (John 3:13)

When someone dies, they do not go straight to heaven or the lake of fire. All of mankind will be judged on Judgment Day, or the Second Coming of Christ, when the true servants of God will go to heaven while the wicked will be condemned eternally in the lake of fire.

A:Catholics believe that they must first spend time in purgatory before going to heaven. One Protestant belief is that they go to heaven right away. However, there is another Protestant form of belief that they do not go to heaven until the Last Judgement. Many Protestants seem confused as to which of these options they really believe.
I will take a guess that this is a biblical reference to the prophets Elijah and Elisha in 2Kings, where Elijah's mantle or cloak is passed to Elisha at the time that Elijah is taken up to heaven in a chariot of fire.
