2Kgs:2:1: And it came to pass, when the LORD would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
2Kgs: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.
Yes. Elijah the prophet was taken up by a fiery whirlwind and chariots of fire directly into heaven.
No, there is no record of Elijah writing a letter after being taken to heaven. The biblical account in 2 Kings 2 mentions Elijah being taken up by a whirlwind into heaven, but there is no mention of him writing a letter after that event.
He was taken up in a whirlwind, with Elisha watching.
2 Kings 2:11 - Then it happened, as they continued on and talked, that suddenly a chariot of fire appeared with horses of fire, and separated the two of them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
Elijah did not die. He was raptured into heaven by a chariot of fire in a whirlwind.
Assuming you mean the biblical prophet ... the Bible actually goes out of its way to avoid saying outright that he died, or using one of the usual euphemisms (such as "slept with his fathers"). Instead it refers to him as being "lifted up" by a whirlwind, implying that he was taken bodily into heaven without having to die.
it was when The Virgin Mary was taken up to heaven
To eat his bread.
The Bible teaches that those who are rightous will meet Jesus in the air. Jesus will come down from heaven, while the rightous will rose up to meet Him. As far as I know, no such religion teaches the belief that you will be taken to heaven by your hair.
2 Kings chapter 2: God takes Elijah to heaven by way of a whirlwind.
"...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)Another answer:You're probably thinking of Elijah: 2 Kings 2:11 - Then it happened, as they continued on and talked, that suddenly a chariot of fire appeared with horses of fire, and separated the two of them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. [NKJV]
