AMPLIFIED 2015 | Hebrews 11:5 By faith [that pleased God] Enoch was caught up and taken to heaven so that he would not have a glimpse of death; AND HE WAS NOT FOUND BECAUSE GOD HAD TAKEN HIM; for even before he was taken [to heaven], he received the testimony [still on record] that he had walked with God and pleased Him. [Gen 5:21-24] |
Bible Question: WHO WAS ENOCH |
Bible Answer: Enoch was a son of Cain: And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch. (Gen 4:17) (Enoch was also a city) Enoch was a son of Jared: And Jared lived an hundred sixty and two years, and he begat Enoch (Gen 5:18) Enoch was the father of Methuselah: And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters. Enoch went to heaven without dying: 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. (Heb 11:5) Enoch was a prophet: And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints (Jud 1:14) As you can see, there are actually two Enochs mentioned in Genesis. While they may be of the same name, they were definitely not of the same character. Good men and bad men may receive the same names, but God justly distinguishes between the likes of Judas Iscariot and Judas not Iscariot (John 14:22) |
