God takes Enoch
Genesis 5:21–24; Hebrews 11:5; Jude 14–15
Enoch walked with God for 300 years, and at 365 God took him without his dying.
Enoch walked with God, and he was not found, for God took him.
Genesis 5:24 (World English Bible)
Genesis repeats “and he died” for each of the early patriarchs, which makes Enoch stand out: he didn't die. Hebrews 11:5 says he was taken up because he pleased God by faith. Elijah is the only other person Scripture describes leaving this way (2 Kings 2:11).
Jude 14–15 records that Enoch prophesied God's coming judgment on the ungodly, a warning that came true in the Flood and points ahead to the final judgment.
