Others believe that many who died are already there.
Some believe that there will be some of us going there in a secret rapture.
Others believe only 3 humans are there.
Well matter of fact is, the answer is in the Bible believe it or not.
You will find in Genesis 5:24 - We see that God took him to heaven.
Also in Matthew 17:1-3, you can see that both Moses and Elijah came from heaven.
You may find other texts supporting the above but this is just one to show you.
Okay that's what I thought for a long time until a few weeks ago..
When my Bible student pointed out to me Matthew 27:50-53
My initial reaction was one of surprise. I don't remember this verse, do you?
But anyway I went to study it for my first complete Exegesis :D
Exegesis - To bring out the true meaning/authorial intention of the text.
Anyway that can be done by studying the various contexts of the text in short.
It is true then after my study to see that there are some other righteous people in heaven now.
Probably some well known righteous people of old (in the Bible) or righteous people who died in Jesus' time.
Though that is not the main intention of the text.
In brief, Matthew wants to prove that Jesus is the Son of God who has power over all mankind and has come to fulfill the Law and the Prophets.
That is in essence, there is more but well you can find it through study.
That is why it is so important to Study the Word of God and not just read it.
Lets do Exegesis not Eisegesis~
2 most important things we need to do before anything can happen spiritually be in in our life, in church etc.
That is Prayer and Personal Bible Study.
All the best guys, cos I'll keep praying for you ;)
