We know that the Lord Jesus Christ when He ascended, He went to paradise, He went to third heaven. If Jesus ascended up to paradise - to the third heaven - no man hath ascended to that portion of what we called " heaven" except the Lord Jesus Christ.
John 3:13
And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
Let us take this matter deeply, they said that Enoch was also translated to heaven.
Genesis 5:24
And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.
The Bible tells us in Genesis, that Enoch ealked with God. And he was not found anymore, for God took him, but it was said that Enoch was taken to heaven like Elijah. Let us tead the account of the Apostles, Apostles who knows the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ, about things which are heavenly. The Apostles, recipients of Mysteries, and miracles, and information from the Lord Jesus Christ. Let us examine from the teachings of the Apostles, if really Enoch or Elijah are in heaven now like are saying.
Hebrews 11:4-5
Hebrews 4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. 5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
As Abel was found worthy to be saved, Enoch also according to Paul, was translated that he should not see death. He was not found anymore on that place where he was born because God had translated him. It is not said that he was translated into heaven but he was translated. For before his translation, he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
Hebrews 11:7-9
:7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. 8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. 9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:
Hebrews 11:11
Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.
This verse mention Sarah, through faith, Sarah herself received strength to conceive seed.
Hebrews 11:13
These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
After mentioning these people. the Apostle Paul said, in verse 13 of Hebrews 11.The Apostle Paul concludes that Abel , Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Sarah, those Patriarchs according to Paul, these all died in faith, not having received the promises including Enoch.Not only that Apostle Paul mention Enoch,he also mentioned Elijah in the concluding verse of chapter . Hebrews 11:32
Hebrews 11:32 And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:
When he say of the prophets, he is speaking about Elijah the prophet, Jeremiah the prophet, all those prophets. According to Paul, all these died in faith not having received the promises, but heaven seen them afar off. All these died in faith including Enoch, the prophets, the patriarchs. They are not in heaven.
