Jesus In The Old Testament: Bodily Ascension

Genesis 5:24 states that "Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away."

This short verse - hidden in the genealogy leading us from Adam to Noah - points to the bodily ascension to heaven of Enoch. Jesus would participate in this same form of bodily ascension into heaven more than 4,200 years later.

Mark 16:19 records Jesus' ascension into heaven "After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God."
