Reading:
And
Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah: And Enoch walked with God after he begat
Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: And all the days of Enoch were three hundred
sixty and five years: And Enoch walked
with God: and he was not; for God took him.
Commentary:
In
his faith and trust in God, Enoch was in such close communion with God, that
the Bible says Enoch walked with God. He
had reached such a high state of love for the Lord and obedience of His
commandments, that he was in good harmony with the Lord's will. While none but Christ has ever walked before
the Lord as perfect and without sin, Enoch would likely be the saint among
saints, according to the high praise that he "walked with God". It was thus the Lord's good will to translate
Enoch into heaven, without passing through death. The body and soul then of Enoch were taken up
(similar to Christ's and Elijah's ascension) and "he was not, for God took
him."
