Who went to heaven first?

The Christian Bible, in the Old Testament, records that both the prophet Elijah and the patriarch Enoch were bodily assumed into Heaven on a chariot of fire. Jesus is considered by the vast majority of Christians to have died before being resurrected and ascending to heaven.

Jesus was the first human (although He is also fully human/fully divine) to go to Heaven. He was the first to become raised to life in His glorified eternal body. 1 Corinthians 15:20 But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
