3. 2 Kings 2:1–12

   Shortly before the LORD took Elijah up to heaven in a whirlwind, Elijah and Elisha were on their way from Gilgal,

   ›Commentary on 2 Kings 2:1–122 voices

   “The events of this chapter are related out of their chronological order. Elijah’s translation did not take place until after the accession of Jehoram in Judah 2Ch 21:12, which was not until the fifth year of Jehoram of Israel 2Ki 8:16. The writer of Kings, having concluded his notices of the ministry of Elijah in chapter 1, and being about to pass in 2 Kings 3 to the ministry of Elisha, thought it best to insert at this point the final scene of Elijah’s life, though it did not occur until several years later.”

   “And it came to pass, when the Lord would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind,.... Thereby lifting him up from the earth, and which, as it was the purpose and will of God, Elijah had notice of, as appears by his motions to different places, under a divine direction: that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal, where it seems they met, a place where the Israelites first pitched when they came over Jordan, and where the tabernacle was for some time, and was famous for religious services, see Jos 4:19.”

4. Mark 16:19

   After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, He was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God.

   ›Commentary on Mark 16:192 voices

   “Also, towards the conclusion of his Gospel, Mark says: ‘So then, after the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God;’ confirming what had been spoken by the prophet: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, Sit Thou on My right hand, until I make Thy foes Thy footstool.’”

   “He was received up into heaven - In a cloud from the Mount of Olives. See Act 1:9. The right hand of God - We are not to suppose that God has hands, or that Jesus sits in any particular direction from God. This phrase is taken from the manner of speaking among men, and means that he was exalted to honor and power in the heavens. It was esteemed the place of the highest honor to be seated at the right hand of a prince.”

5. Luke 24:51

   While He was blessing them, He left them and was carried up into heaven.

   ›Commentary on Luke 24:512 voices

   “OUR Lord Jesus, having spoiled the grave and so proved His power over things that are under the earth, tarried for 40 days among men and so claimed His power over the earth, itself, and then ascended through the air to show that the dominion of the Prince of the power of the air was broken and, finally, entered into the Heaven of Heavens to claim sovereignty there, so that, from the lowest depths up to the extreme heights, He might take possession of His vast domains.”

   “The brightness of the Father's glory, enshrined in our nature, hath won it well; for He poured out His soul unto death, and led captivity captive, receiving gifts for men, yea for the rebellious, that the Lord God might dwell among them. Thou art the King of glory, O Christ. Lift up your heads, O ye gates, be lifted up, ye everlasting doors, that the King of glory may come in!”

6. Acts 1:9–11

   After He had said this, they watched as He was taken up, and a cloud hid Him from their sight.

   ›Commentary on Acts 1:9–112 voices

   “Lest it should be thought He had disappeared when they were looking in some other direction, and so was only concluded to have gone up to heaven, it is here expressly said that ‘while they were looking He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight.’ So Elijah, ‘If thou see me when I am taken from thee’ (2Ki 2:10);”

   “While they beheld - While they saw him. It was of importance to state that circumstance, and to state it distinctly. It is not affirmed in the New Testament that they ‘saw him rise’ from the dead, because the evidence of that fact could be better established by their seeing him after he was risen. But the truth of his ‘ascension to heaven’ could not be confirmed in that manner.”

7. 2 Corinthians 5:4

   So while we are in this tent, we groan under our burdens, because we do not wish to be unclothed but clothed, so that our mortality may be swallowed up by life.

   ›Commentary on 2 Corinthians 5:42 voices

   “Faith does not divest us of all natural feeling, but subordinates it to higher feeling. Scripture gives no sanction to the contempt for the body expressed by philosophers.”

   “Still further did He also make it manifest, that we ought, after our calling, to be also adorned with works of righteousness, so that the Spirit of God may rest upon us; for this is the wedding garment, of which also the apostle speaks, ‘Not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up by immortality.’ But those who have indeed been called to God's supper, yet have not received the Holy Spirit, because of their wicked conduct ‘shall be,’ He declares, ‘cast into outer darkness.’”

8. Hebrews 11:5

   By faith Enoch was taken up so that he did not see death: “He could not be found, because God had taken him away.” For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God.

   ›Commentary on Hebrews 11:52 voices

   “Enoch was not any longer found among men, though perhaps they sought for him as they did for Elijah, 2 Kings ii, 17. He had this testimony - From God in his own conscience.”

   “By faith Enoch was translated - The account of Enoch is found in Gen 5:21-24. It is very brief, and is this, that ‘Enoch walked with God, and was not, for God took him.’ There is no particular mention of his ‘faith,’ and the apostle attributes this to him, as in the case of Abel, either because it was involved in the very nature of piety, or because the fact was communicated to him by direct revelation.”
