Elijah never prophesied nor prefigured anything in the New Testament. However, it is still possible to look in the story of Elijah for a connection. Burton L. Mack describes a trick that can be used to make any Old Testament book say what you want it to say. By this means, books such as Kings can even be made to prophesy Jesus. Mack says in Who Wrote the New Testament that at first the study of a text may not seem to support a traditional Christian conviction, or the answer one hopes to find in The Bible. But with a little ingenuity, one can set up the comparison again with other emphases and make the answer come out right. This trick seems to come naturally when studying the Bible, and Mack sees it happen all the time in the classrooms of the School of Theology at Claremont.

Which man was taken into heaven without dying?

Gen:5:24: And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.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.Another Answer:The Bible speaks of 3 heavens: the sky; space; and the Throne of God. When speaking of Enoch and Elijah, they were taken up into the heaven of the sky and placed somewhere else on the earth. Indeed, 7 years Elijahs sojourn, he is found penning a letter to the current King. (2 Chronicles 21:12 and the Kingly timeline established confirms this).Jesus clearly told us that no man but He has ascended into the Highest Heaven (John 3:13).
