The only thing that puzzles me is why there needed to be a flaming chariot? When Jesus Ascended, no such thing was reported…wouldnt just floating upwards or disappearing work the same, maybe there was a reason for the chariot though, Id like to know.

In the 2nd Book of Kings, Elijah is transported to Heaven by a flaming chariot.

Unlike our LORD, Elias, as a standard-issue human being, was unable to ascend to Heaven under his own power?

That makes sense, I guess the ‘chariot’ somehow made it possible for a flesh and bone human to make the transition from our world to the spiritual realm without any harm.
