Interesting that you would post that verse.

One that DEMOLISHES the idea of immediate reward.

Hmmmm

NO MAN has ascended into heaven.

Interesting.

Yes, in case you hadn't noticed, our resurrection hasn't taken place yet.

Yes that is correct. Christ is the firstfruits of the resurrection. The others--Moses, Enoch, and Elijaah, were given termporary tabernacles until the resurrection takes place.

There are only two resurrections: one for the just and one for the unjust.

2Cor.5:1 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
--It is not possible that Elijah or Moses, or Enoch to be in an earthly body. They, as well as we, wait for "a tabernaclce not made with hands, eternal in the heavens." What they have now is not eternal but until the resurrection, temporary. When Moses and Elijah appeared on the Mount of Transfiguration, they appeared in a changed state, just as Jesus appeared in changed state. Jesus was not in His glorified body; neither were they.
