Why did the Lord send to pick up Elijah in a whirlwind?

A:2 Kings 2:11: "And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven." There is no biblical explanation of why Elijah was taken up in a chariot of fire by a whirlwind. However, throughout the Near East, the sun god was believed to travel in a chariot of fire, and this passage is very typical of stories of the sun god. It is well established from archaeology that the pre-Exilic Hebrews worshipped the sun god, and 2 Kings 23:11 even confirms this, when King Josiah undertook a reform of the religion of Judah: "And he took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the entering in of the house of the LORD, by the chamber of Nathan-melech the chamberlain, which was in the suburbs, and burned the chariots of the sun with fire."The stories of Elijah and Elisha are consistent with them having, in early times, been worshipped as the sun god, before the story evolved to make them mortal prophets of Israel. Elijah's ability to bring down fire from heaven and perform great miracles are evidence of this. In the earliest version of this story, Elijah was taken up in a chariot of fire by a whirlwind because he was the sun god.


How did alijah and moses go to heaven before jesus paid the penalty for sin March 28 33 ad?

Elijah never went to Heaven we was tooken up in the chariot of fire to the heavens(skys). Moses however was never said to have went to Heaven. So neither one of then went to Heaven before Jesus paid the penalty of sin. "And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, the Son of man which is in heaven" -John 3:13 Obviously they didn't ascend into heaven then.


Who was with Elijah when he went to heaven?

Elisha Elisha
