There is never any man in the history of humanity who has successfully ascended to heaven- into the high heavens where the paradise is.
All the prophets who we know who are dead today like the likes of Prophet Enoch, Abel and so many more died but I think the majority of us feel they are in heaven but that’s a wrong idea.
We know thay all of them are dead but they are simply waiting for the second resurrection of Jesus Christ so that they can follow him to heaven.
As Christians, this is the spiritual principle which we have to be disciplined with in thinking about where those people may be now.
Let’s open our Bibles to Hebrews 11:39-40 says, And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise.
God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect
Perfection, salvation and glory will simultaneously come to all the men of God or people of God. There is no one no matter how powerful the person is or how much he or she is loved by God has visited heaven before.
The only person who has visited Heaven and has come down successfully is the son of God, Jesus Christ. This is stated in the Bible in the book of John 3:13.
John 3:13 says, And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the son of man which is in heaven
Now, this gives us an idea about the person who id in heaven. The only person who is in heaven or who has visited heaven before is Jesus Christ.
So we have to understand that all of those prophets who we think are in heaven are not in heaven.
They are patiently waiting for the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
