Dear Henry and Mabel:
Heaven is both a location as a direction--UP from the earth, the air, the atmosphere, the sky. And, it is a realm as in "The Kingdom OF heaven."
Elijah was transported through the air, the sky, to a different location. Later Elijah wrote a letter from a different location where he was living (II Chron. 21:12). As for Moses and Elijah in the so-called "mount of transfiguration," it was not a physical, literal event: "And behold, there APPEARED unto them Moses and Elias talking with Him...and as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell THE VISION to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead" (Matt. 17:3 & 9). It was a VISION. It never "literally" happened. It is a VISION, not unlike a dream that takes place in one's mind, NOT LITERALLY in the flesh. Besides, Heb. 11 tells us clearly that Enoch (Ver. 5), Abraham (Verse 08), Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, and MOSES (Vers. 20-24) "These ALL DIED IN FAITH, NOT HAVING RECEIVED THE PROMISES..." (Ver. 13).
God be with you,
Ray
