Before the flood, “Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him” (Genesis 5:24). Later, “Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven” (2 Kings 2:11). These are the first two raptures recorded in Scripture, previews of the blessed hope to come.

This message explores the translation of Enoch, who pleased God and was taken that he should not see death (Hebrews 11:5), and the fiery chariot that carried Elijah up into heaven. Together, they form part of the mystery of the seven raptures woven through the Bible, reminding us that God has appointed times to catch away His people.
