If Elijah was carried away, but not to (the third) heaven, then maybe he was placed in the wilderness, and God granted him unnaturally long life so that he would become known as John the Baptist? Just a contrasting idea.

That is right in line with me suggesting that maybe God preference of meat to vegetables led to the Cain and Abel issue!

Now, I remember that John the Baptist was raised from the dead... which means he died once before (can't find the scripture right now). So that means Elijah died at least twice!!
Eto,
I am sure you will never find that scripture, John the Baptist was never raised from the dead. His job was done. His purpose in life was complete. If God wanted to, He would have raised John, but He didn't.

Mark 6:14 - And king Herod heard of him; (for his name was spread abroad and he said, That John the Baptist was risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.
Eto,
Read the whole context! That's refering to the fact that Herod thought that Jesus was John, back from the dead. It's not saying that John WAS back, only that Herod feared that he was. But knew that didn't you! [8D] Read verse 29 esp.

That explains why I could never find the scriptures where John "died" first....[8D]
Thanks. What is it cardeer says? I'm stupid, Roger.
