Are Apparitions of Moses, Mary, Enoch and Elijah of God? No! They Are Dead!
There is an unbiblical notion being propagated by many people (including many Christians) that certain people in the Bible did not die and they now reside in Heaven; this done in order to prove that when a person (believing Christians) dies they immediately go to Heaven. There are four principal characters in particular that are mentioned by theorists to advance their polemic: Enoch, Elijah, Moses and Mary (primarily by Catholics), the mother of Jesus. Basically, in their failure to do an intensive study on what really happened to Enoch and Elijah, especially, their conclusion is that if these two individuals did not die but were taken to Heaven; thereby proving that when a Christian dies they immediately go to Heaven. It is their contention that those who die in Christ are in Heaven, ergo, they are part of a group of those (armies) that we supposedly see returning with Christ Revelation19:7-16 at the Rapture, or at least at His 2nd (and final) Advent. A deep study of this group of scripture is written in extensive detail in Chapter 7 (He Comes with His Holy Ones) of The End Times Passover, which proves this notion to be wrong and has no biblical foundation whatsoever.
There are many true disciples of Christ who recognize (based on Holy Spirit discernment) that those who argue on behalf of a Pre-Tribulation Rapture are wrong; however, they don’t always have at their immediate disposal the scripture proof to contest this doctrine. This brief missive is being sent to those of you who want empirical Bible evidence that those notions being promoted by these theorists can be instantly debunked by studying the attached material. Keep it handy (on your desktop) and be prepared to stop this unholy contention that diverts the attention of those who seek the truth (especially new babes in Christ) who need to grow in the strength of God’s word.
