Enoch
Generation 3 from Adam
Biography
A descendant of Seth, Enoch walked with God for 300 years after the birth of his son Methuselah. In a unique act, God took Enoch directly to heaven without experiencing death at age 365. Enoch prophesied about the Lord's coming with His holy ones to execute judgment. He stands as one of only two people in Scripture taken directly to heaven.
Enoch demonstrates that intimate fellowship with God leads to life. His translation to heaven without death prefigures the rapture of the church and eternal life for believers.
