Question 7
But aren’t the dead saints in heaven now?
Bible
Acts 2:29,34
"David…is both dead and buried and his sepulcher is with us unto this day…David is not ascended into the heaven."
Answer
If God’s saints go to heaven when they die, then King David, who was called “a man after God’s own heart”, would surely be there. But the Bible tells us in the New Testament, more than 1000 years later, that David is buried and has not yet gone there. The Bible tells us that only Enoch, Moses, and Elijah, plus a special group in Matthew 27, are in heaven now.
