Question
Other than Elijah, who was raptured or caught up without dying in the bible?
Until you, Dorothy, asked the question, I had thought that only Elijah was reported in the bible to have been taken in a wirlwind/chariot.
I checked several references that I have and could not find any other person recorded with such a fate.
So, I remain with my previous conclusion of only Elijah.
If you have further thoughts, please feel free to write again.
Best wishes.
