Enoch in the Bible holds a rare distinction in the human story: he did not die. Instead, God "took him away." Although the Scriptures do not reveal a whole lot about this remarkable man, we find Enoch's story in You do not have permission to view the full content of this post.

There are at least four different men in the Bible named Enoch (You do not have permission to view the full content of this post.

We should note that, in You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now. and You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now., the NIV gives the name “Hanok,” while some other translations, such as the Darby translation, give the name “Enoch” instead. In both verses, the name “Hanok” is from the same Hebrew word translated “Enoch” in You do not have permission to view the full content of this post.

Other translations say “Hanoch” or “Henoch.” The only difference is one of English spelling.



It is only the Enoch mentioned in You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now. that the Bible gives any significant information about. This Enoch was the great-great-great-great-grandson of Adam. You do not have permission to view the full content of this post.

Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away.”

Only two people in the Bible are said to have been chosen by God to escape death, You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now.. Enoch appears to have been given this privilege due to being a man who walked faithfully with God (You do not have permission to view the full content of this post.

However, since the biblical book of Jude quotes from 1 Enoch and attributes the quotation to the biblical Enoch (You do not have permission to view the full content of this post.

Enoch draws a lot of attention due to the mystery surrounding him. Far too much speculation has gone into how and why God took Enoch away. Instead of conjecturing, we should be seeking to follow Enoch’s example by being men and women who walk faithfully with God and seek to please Him with our lives.
