One day Jesus will return and everyone who loves him will be taken to Heaven. The dead will be raised and believers who are alive will be changed. All together we will ascend to Heaven to live there forever. This event is known as the Rapture.

Jesus was raptured 40 days after he was resurrected to prepare a place for us in Heaven. Enoch and Elijah were raptured - they didn't die, they went up to Heaven alive. Some people in the Bible also went to Heaven in spirit in a vision. And one day we will join them.

"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I will prepare a place for you. And when I go and prepare a place, I will come back and take you to myself, so that you may be where I am.
John 14:1-3



Having said this, he was lifted up on high as they looked on, and a cloud hid him from their view. And they kept their eyes fixed on the sky as he ascended. Suddenly there appeared before them two men dressed in white, who said to them, "Galileos, why are you looking at the sky? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will return in the same way you saw him go up."
Acts of the Apostles 1:9-11


Behold, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed.
1 Corinthians 15:51-52


We say to you by the word of the Lord that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who are asleep. For, given the order, with the voice of the archangel and the resounding of the trumpet of God, the Lord himself will descend from heaven, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive will be caught up with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.
1 Thessalonians 4:15-17


Therefore, beloved, while you wait for these things, strive to be found by him in peace, spotless and blameless.
2 Peter 3:14


Having led them to the vicinity of Bethany, Jesus raised his hands and blessed them. While he was still blessing them, he left them and was taken up into heaven.
Luke 24:50-51


He lived a total of 365 years. Enoch walked with God; and he was no longer found, for God had taken him away.
Genesis 5:23-24


By faith Enoch was taken up, so that he did not taste death; "and he was not found any more, because God had taken him away", for before he was taken away he received testimony that he had pleased God.
Hebrews 11:5


Suddenly, as they were walking and talking, a chariot of fire pulled by horses of fire appeared and separated them, and Elijah was taken to heaven in a whirlwind.
2 Kings 2:11


I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether he was in the body or out of the body, I don't know; God knows. And I know that this man - whether in the body or out of the body, I don't know, but God knows - was caught up into paradise and heard unspeakable things, things that a man is not allowed to speak.
2 Corinthians 12:2-4


After these things I looked, and before me was an open door in heaven. The voice I had heard at the beginning, speaking to me like a trumpet, said, "Come up hither, and I will show you what must happen after these things."
Revelation 4:1
