Question: Who was taken up to Heaven in a Chariot of Fire?.
Answer: Elijah. (II Kings 2:11)
Comments: The popular film Chariots of Fire, which won four Academy Awards in 1981, is actually not named for this Biblical passage, though it has numerous religious overtones. Rather, the title is taken from a line from the hymn “Jerusalem,” which is sung in the film. The hymn was written by C. Hubert H. Parry in 1916 and was based upon a William Blake poem. The poem was inspired by the apocryphal story that a young Jesus, accompanied by Joseph of Arimathea, went to Glastonbury, England.
