Does Scripture speak of anyone other than Jesus dying and ascending into the 3rd heaven or spiritual realm of God other than in vision?

There are three biblical heavens: the first heaven is the sky where creatures fly; the second is the Universe with the heavenly physical bodies; and the third and highest heaven where the Throne of God is with the spiritual beings. Paul alludes to this in his vision in 2 Corinthians 12:2.
The Bible speaks of two - Enoch and Elijah - being taken off into 'heaven' but this is the 1st of 3 heavens (transported out of one area on Earth to another for safety) mentioned in the Scripture (see Hebrews 11:5 and 2 Kings 2:11 coupled with 2 Chronicles 21:12-15 letter from Elijah to the then current King some 7 years after his being taken into heaven proving this fact).
As noted below in John 3:13, no one is worthy to go to heaven but Jesus. In fact, heaven is NOT the destiny of the saved as the majority of religions teach. The New Earth with God, Jesus, and the Father's new family of sons and daughters along with the other spiritual beings is coming here (see Revelation 21).

∙ 9y agoNot exactly. Jesus said, "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). In the Old Testament, Enoch (Genesis 5: 23, 24) and Elijah (2 Kings 2: 1, 11) were taken to Heaven. They didn't die and they didn't ascend. They were taken by God.

Are you already in heaven?
probably to god we are in heaven and to him he is in Earth but as in now we aren'tAnother Answer:The Scripture indicates 3 places known as 'heaven.' They are the atmosphere, space (both Physical realms) and the 'highest heaven,' the Throne of God which is a Spiritual realm.If you are speaking of the latter Spiritual realm, the answer in NO. Humans live in the physical realm with our atmosphere and can travel in Space. However, after the Millennial Rule and the Judgement Process, Scripture indicates that most will change into spiritual children of God and a New Heaven will descend to the New Earth and the Throne of God and Jesus will live with His children for eternity (Revelation 21).

The ancient belief is that Sparrows can see souls whether they are ascending or descending. I think they might be carriers of souls or even temporary vessels. Their song is said to announce a soul descending from heaven or ascending to heaven. From personal experience, I know this to be true.
