When paradise was transferred?

When Jesus ascended. Until He died on the cross (ie. the veil of His body was torn), no believer (or anyone for that matter) could dwell in the presence of God. When Jesus ascended back to Heaven, this is what happened:

What happened to
Enoch? {
Genesis 5:24 And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.} Took him
where?
What happened to
Moses? {
Jude 1:9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.} What happened to Moses' body?
What happened to
Elijah? {
2 Kings 2:11 And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.} Where did Elijah go?
I pretty much agree with brother Jerry with the exception of these three men of God:
Enoch: a
type of a
born again believer that will
never die, but is "raptured" into God's presence.
Moses: A
type of
Jewish believer that
dies (during the Tribulation - ministering to
Israel); is resurrected and
dies again in the Millennium; to be resurrected again at the end of the Millennium at the Great White Throne Judgment.
Elijah: A
type of
Jewish believer that is "
raptured" during the Tribulation; returns to earth and
dies in the Millennium - to be resurrected again at the end of the Millennium at the Great White Throne Judgment.
There are two more "
types", that although they weren't raptured or resurrected, seem to fit in with God's people (Jews & Gentiles) in the Tribulation:
Noah: A
type of
Gentile (a "sheep") that goes
through the Tribulation and passes the "judgment of the nations" [
Matthew 25: 31-46] and
dies in the Millennium - to be resurrected at the Great White Throne Judgment.
Jonah: A
type of
Jewish believer that
dies (during the Tribulation - ministering to the
Gentiles); is resurrected and
dies again in the Millennium; to be resurrected again at the end of the Millennium at the Great White Throne Judgment.
If someone disagrees with me on this one - I won't argue with them since this not a doctrine that I can prove without a doubt.
