In post ,  Matthew  asks:

Well, I was thinking of a bit more of this discussion than whether or
not Enoch died. For a connection consider counterpoint; whereas,
neither Enoch nor Elijah may have died, the three men in Jesus' story
did die. Yet they are not asleep, in some sense they remain conscious
and active somewhere beyond death. A  judgment is implied
contemporaneous with the rich man's brothers being alive in their
father's house. So, I was curious what others might make of this story.
