2nd Kings 2:1 And it came to pass, when the Lord would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
Matthew 17:3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias/Elijah talking with him…. Moses, on the other hand had passed under the dominion of death, because of his sin in striking the rock, but he was raised to life not long after.

Jude 8: 9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil, he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee….

Thus, the devil was angry, because Christ was going to rob the grave for the very first time, even though He had not yet paid the price for our redemption on Calvary. In other words, satan was arguing that it was not fair, what Jesus was doing… [4S.G pp 57] Satan exulted that he had succeeded in causing Moses to sin against God. For this transgression, Moses came under the dominion of death.
2nd Kings 2:11 And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
