The Death Defiers: Melchizedek, Enoch, Elijah and Jesus

Three men in the Bible never died. Enoch, Melchizedek and Elijah are the three most mysterious figures in history. This is an exploration of these three shadowy individuals and how they relate to the Bible's most famous death defier: Jesus Christ.

It's one thing to come back from the dead, as Jesus did. It's quite another not to die at all. How can deathlessness be explained? Where do the undead go? How do the fates of Enoch, Melchizedek and Elijah shape theories of the afterlife? Can ordinary people emulate these three great religious patriarchs?

Don't you want to emulate the deathless ones?
