Four men in the Bible who did not see death

There are four men in the Bible who did not see death. Two had already happened, and two are prophesised.

The two that had already happened are Enoch and Elijah.
And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him (Genesis 5:24 KJV).
By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God (Hebrews 11:5 KJV)
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 (2 Kings 2:11 KJV).
Enoch and Elijah went straight from Earth to Heaven.

The two that are prophesised are the beast and the false prophet.
And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshiped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone (Revelations 19:20 KJV).
The beast and the false prophet went straight from Earth to the lake of fire, the final destiny of all unbelievers.
