View Profile History	Ask me anything? Posted : 2 Oct, 2010 09:43 PM I think that is a great question! I ask it myself. But I also do not believe we can know because the flood wiped out every thing and changed to face of the earth. Personally, I think it was in Texas. :ROFL: Post Reply
enoch1122 View Profile History	Ask me anything? Posted : 4 Oct, 2010 01:02 AM The men in the Bible recorded to be taken without death are Enoch and Elijah. The first thing one must realize is that there exists a spiritual realm which is an entirely different place than what we see here. It is commonly called "heaven" by most christians but it is actually the realm where God and the angels and other spiritual creatures live. In John 4:21-24 Jesus is speaking to the Samaratian woman at the well. He tells her: "Jesus *said to her, �Woman, believe Me, an hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for bsalvation is from the Jews. �But aan hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. �God is 1spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.� god is a spirit. He can only be known through our human spirits gaining contact with His spirit. We cannot know Him through our minds, soul, intellect, emotions or anything that is not from our spirit. Romans Chapter 8 speaks extensively of this spiritual walk with God as distinguished from a fleshly or soulish walk. Romans 8:5-8 says: "For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, bthe things of the Spirit. For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace, because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so, and those who are ain the flesh cannot please God. (Ro 8:5-8). Paul goes on to say that: "So then, brethren, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh� for if you are living according to the flesh, you 1must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For all who are abeing led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God ( Ro 8:12-14) . Therefore a true Son of God (Christian if you will) walks with God not by human understanding but by the spirit which is where God lives. It is actually the primary purpose of Christ's ministry to bring forth on the earth His spiritual Kingdom which currently exists only in the Spirit realm. matthew 6:10 says (as part of what has become known as the Lord's prayer) for believers to pray as follows: "�Your kingdom come. Your will be done, On earth as it is in heaven". In other words the Kingdom is a convergence of the spirit and spirit realm here on earth. The reason God "took" men such as Enoch or Elijah is unknown. All we know is that He did. He "took" them to His spiritual which currently exists beyond this earthly kingdom of which we are now most aware. I do know that the spirits of those who die in in God, old and new tesament, are very active in the spirit realm in bringing about this convergence of ages, as we are so engaged herein this physical realm. Perhaps their earthly ministry was done here and they were more needed on the other side to accomplish His purposes. We do know however that is is likely that they were not the only ones so "taken". Jesus says: "�But I say to you truthfully, there are some of those standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God.� (Luke 9:27). There is also scriptural support for the notion that "heaven" or the spiritual realm has many different levels. Paul said: "I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago�whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know, God knows�such a man was caught up to the third heaven. And I know how such a man�whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, God knows� was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which a man is not permitted to speak (2 Corinthians 12:2-4). It is widely believed that the man Paul was speaking about was himself. If you are interested there is literature that exists apart from the Bible including the Book of 1 Enoch, quoted by Jude in his epistle (Jude 14-15) as follows: "It was also about these men that Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying, �Behold, the Lord came with many thousands of His holy ones, to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their ungodly deeds which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.� The Book of 1 Enoch describes in more detail the spirit realm that Enoch was taken to. There are also Books entitled Enoch 2 & 3 which go into even more detail although their credability is questioned by many scholars.
