II Kings 2:11 KJB
No human can go to Heaven unless God thoroughly cleanses that person of all sins, and evil, and annuls their spiritual deaths that the Devil has injected into them. The Bible records that God translated Enoch, Elijah, and the Apostle John to Heaven before their physical deaths. Genesis 5:24; II Kings 2:11; Revelation 4:1 (KJB). The Bible prophesies that God will translate His Church to Heaven from their graves along with those who are alive on the earth. I Thessalonians 4:14-18 (KJB). God translated Enoch to Heaven which meant that God changed him from one type of being to another type of being. Hebrews 11:5 (KJB).
God is absolutely Pure and Holy which means that God can only accept persons to live with Him in Heaven who are absolutely perfect, just as His Son is absolutely perfect. Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8; John 17:23-24 (KJB). At present, Heaven is still slightly tainted with the smell of impurity because of Lucifer's rebellion. Ezekiel 28:18 (KJB). But God used His fiery wrath against evil to cleanse His Heaven of Lucifer's evil, and God cast him to earth as an empty and evil consciousness called Satan. Ezekiel 28:18-19 (KJB). But a day will come when God uses His fiery wrath against evil to thoroughly burn and purge Heaven and earth of all sin, evil, spiritual death, and the Devil so that He can recreate it all to be absolutely righteous. II Peter 3:9-13 (KJB).
But a difference exists between heavenly righteousness, which is the absolute perfection of God Himself, and earthly perfection which is a creation of God given to every human that God creates. Genesis 1:31; Genesis 1:26-27 (KJB). God said that Job was perfect, and the Apostle James wrote that a Christian can be perfect. Job 1:1; James 3:2 (KJB). But earthly perfection simply means that a believer can be as righteous as it is possible for a sinful person to be. God created Adam and Eve, and all humans in His image with earthly righteousness, but also with the weakness of free will which He knew will cause all humans to eventually sin. Romans 3:23; Romans 5:12 (KJB). But that was all a part of God's plan to prove that while the weakness of free will will cause all humans to sin, the Devil will never be able to use sin and evil to ever utterly destroy living humans because Christ has sacrificed Himself to save all of His living humans from utter destruction. Genesis 3:15; Genesis 3:20; Luke 20:38; I Timothy 4:10 (KJB). Since God made Eve the mother of all living and all humans are alive in His sight, then He certainly means to save all of His living humans from eternal death. II Timothy 1:10; I Corinthians 15:20-26 (KJB). Eventually, God will cause all of His living humans to use their free will to return to faith in Him as their Savior so that He can save them all from eternal death. John 5:24; Revelation 5:11-14; Revelation 21:5 (KJB)
God translated Enoch because he "walked with God." Genesis 5:24 (KJB). There can be no condemnation for Christians because they "walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." Romans 8:1 (KJB) A person cannot "walk with God" unless that person has been cleansed of all sin and evil by the blood of Jesus. Matthew 26:28 (KJB). Enoch could only become acceptable to God in Heaven because God had washed him thoroughly clean with the blood of Jesus.
Being washed in the blood of Jesus ensures that God will accept that believer into Heaven because God gives that believer the absolute perfect righteousness of Christ. II Corinthians 5:21; John 17:23-24 (KJB). But some believers backslide on God and return to a life of sin and even evil. Nevertheless, God knows exactly how to return every backslider to repentance and faith before He Raptures His Church. Christ will thoroughly cleanse His Church with "the washing of water by the Word." Christ will wash every believer of their unrepentant sins and evil and return them to absolute purity with the water He shed on the cross. Christ will make His entire Church acceptable to His Father in Heaven. John 13:1-10; John 17:17; John 17:23; Ephesians 5:25-27; I John 5:4-8 (KJB).
God uses His fiery wrath to utterly destroy all of His enemies, but He also uses it to cleanse all of His living humans, not already saved by His grace, of all of their sins, evil, and spiritual deaths when He causes them all to return to faith in Him as their Savior from eternal death. Revelation 5:11-14; II Peter 3:9-13; Matthew 13:36-43; I Corinthians 3:11-15; Luke 3:16-17; Luke 3:6 (KJB). All of God's living humans whom He creates and loves can never be His enemies.
God translated Elijah to Heaven in a fiery chariot with fiery horses in a tornado. The tornado symbolized the power of God, and the fire of God represented that God had thoroughly cleansed Elijah of all of his sins, evil, spiritual death in order to make him absolutely perfect so that God could accept him into Heaven. II Kings 2:11 (KJB).
