Enoch was the first person (yes, Enoch was a real human, like us) to be raptured (taken away by God) alive. Elijah was the second and we would count Jesus' ascension into Heaven also. This is why the Bible says "O death, where is thy sting?" because GUESS WHAT! Now it is absolutely possible to not die, but the Lord's will, we who are alive and remain will be taken away and our bodies will change in the twinkling of an eye, and forever we shall be with the Lord.
This is our BLESSED HOPE! Titus 2:13
