My non Catholic brother says that two people never died and at the end of time they will come back to earth and die then go back to heaven, he says is is Enoc and Issaiah, have you heard anything like this? Is there something in the Bible that says this?

Thank you

Enoch was indeed taken bodily into heaven before he tasted death: Genesis 5:22-24; Sirach 49:14; Hebrews 11:5.

Though the Bible does not mention that Isaiah died it makes no mention of his being taken up to heaven and no tradition exists in Judaism or Christianity in which he did not die.

The only other person in the Bible that is attested to being taken up to heaven (besides Jesus) is Elijah (2 Kings 2:11):
As [Elisha and Elijah] walked on still conversing, a fiery chariot and fiery horses came between the two of them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind…
There are various religious traditions in Christianity and Judaism in regards to whether one or both of them will return before the end times. However there is nothing that is considered as dogmatic.
