Genesis 5: 21 When Enoch had lived 65 years, he became the father of Methuselah. 22 And after he became the father of Methuselah, Enoch walked with God 300 years and had other sons and daughters. 23 Altogether, Enoch lived 365 years. 24 Enoch walked with God; then he was no more, because God took him away.
Hebrews 11:5 By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death; he could not be found, because God had taken him away. For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God.
Jude 1:14Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men: "See, the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones 15to judge everyone, and to convict all the ungodly of all the ungodly acts they have done in the ungodly way, and of all the harsh words ungodly sinners have spoken against him."
This is the 7th man from Adam.... the bible tells us that "he walked with God for 300 years". Can you imagine literally walking with God? Adam walked with God in the garden in the cool of the day. I would LOVE to be chosen to walk with God physically. We can walk with Him in spirit, that is all I know about.
There are only 2 people in the entire bible that did not experience death. Enoch and Elijah. Enoch was no more and Elijah was caught up. God must have really had special relationship with them for them to be spared from death.
I guess all we can do is to daily try to walk closer to God than the day before. Dying to our own thoughts and desires continually. In order to have a righteous walk before God.
The scripture from Jude is important because it tells us that the ungodly will be judged for the things they say against God. The things that we say out of our mouths are very important. We should be cautious to say only what is necessary. This is surely a lesson I am learning the hard way.
I find it amazing that God chose particular people for particular reasons to be entered into the bible... of course there are actually many other manuscripts that people don't know about because as they were putting the bible together, for one reason or another, certain men did not want some things included... Enoch wrote a book... the book of Enoch.. I have read this book and it tells much about what you see in heaven... the things that are written by Jude about Enoch come from that book..
