No... these Faithful men, and all the other revered names recorded in God's Word are DEAD. A condition which The Bible describes as a dreamless, unconscious, dormant SLEEP [see Eccle.9:5 & 10; John 11:11-14 & I Cor.15, the resurrection chapter]. They will be among the "dead in Christ" [those who "died with their Faith solely on Christ," the Almighty Creator WORD of God in the Old Testament]. These shall be among THE FIRST TO BE RESURRECTED FROM THE DEAD upon Christ's return.
"For the LORD Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and THE DEAD IN CHRIST SHALL RISE FIRST: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the LORD in the air: and so shall we ever be with the LORD. Wherefore comfort one another with these words." (I Thess.4:16-18 KJV)
"...if Christ has not been raised, your Faith is a mere delusion; you are still under penalty of your sins. Yes, even those who have FALLEN ASLEEP, though in union with Christ, have perished. If for this life only we... have set our Hopes on Christ, we are the most pitiable people in the world.
"But IN REALITY Christ has been raised from the dead, the FIRST TO BE RAISED of THOSE WHO HAVE FALLEN ASLEEP. For since it was through a man that death resulted, it was also through a Man that the resurrection of the dead resulted. For just as men die by virtue of their descent from Adam, so all such as ARE IN UNION WITH CHRIST will be made to Live again. But EACH IN HIS PROPER ORDER; CHRIST FIRST, then AT HIS COMING those who belong to Christ." (I Cor.15:17-23 WNT William's New Testament)
Contrary to the teachings of the false religions of this world; life and death are OPPOSITES... life is LIVING and death is NOT LIVING. And so the Bible teaches the Truth of it. God reveals to us that WE DIE... and it is so supported in Scripture.
It's SATAN who tells us WE DON'T DIE [see Gen.3:4]. And it is the Devil whom men believe, obey and worship... and whose lies and deceptions men teach in their false religious dogma.
Elisha, Enoch, Moses and all the other Faithful recorded in God's inspired Word ARE DEAD. Dead-in-Christ. That means... as I Corinthians 15 reveals to anyone who cares to "believe" what it says... that these men, all the others who died [fell asleep] with their Faith in Christ intact; will all resurrect IN WHATEVER ORDER GOD HAS SLATED FOR THEM.
But none of them will resurrect BEFORE CHRIST RETURNS!
Before the coming of Jesus god spoke through the prophets to man.
Elijah or Elisha
Advent, which means the coming ( of Christ in this context).
The Bible itself contains at least four examples I can think of: Jesus raised Lazarus a few days before he himself died, and Elisha and Elijah both prayed over a dead person who then came back to life. There's also a mention of a dead person being placed in Elisha's tomb coming back to life when his body touched Elisha's bones. There are also more recent examples of people who would have historically been considered dead (no respiration or heartbeat) who were later revived thanks to advances in medicine.
Waiting/Preparation for the coming of Jesus Christ.
There is no "rapture" of the church, as this is not in the Bible. The rapture is a man made teaching that is based upon the words "caught up" in the book of Thessalonians. (1 Thess. 4) The belief is that the church will be raptured away to heaven before the second coming of Christ Jesus. The problem is, the verse they base this rapture theory on IS describing the physical second coming of Christ. It is AT the second coming of Christ Jesus that the church is "caught up" to meet Jesus in the air, NOT before.
Advent means "Coming." It is part of the Christian church calendar. During Advent Christians celebrate the coming preparation and anticipation of the coming of the Christ child at Christmas.
The song She'll be coming 'round the mountain is derived from a Negro Spiritual song When the Chariot comes.It refers to the Second coming of Christ and the "she" is Christ's chariot.
In the King James version in Chapter 13 of the Second Book of Kings * 2 Kin 13:20 And Elisha died, and they buried him. And the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year.
It is the obsession with the second coming of Christ.
NO!
It is Advent.
