Where's Enoch?

Question

Giving scriptural references, where did Enoch go after he was taken by God?

Answer 1

As a prophet of Jehovah, he foretold God’s coming with His holy myriads to execute judgment against the ungodly. (Jude 14, 15) Likely persecution was brought against him because of his prophesying. However, God did not permit the opposers to kill Enoch. Instead, Jehovah “took him,” that is, cut short his life at the age of 365, an age far below that of most of his contemporaries. Enoch was “transferred so as not to see death,” which may mean that God put him in a prophetic trance and then terminated Enoch’s life while he was in the trance so that he did not experience the pangs of death. (Ge 5:24; Heb 11:5, 13) However, he was not taken to heaven, in view of Jesus’ clear statement at John 3:13. It appears that, as in the case of Moses’ body, Jehovah disposed of Enoch’s body, for “he was nowhere to be found.” De 34:5, 6; Jude 9.

Answer 2

Enoch is only mentioned a few times in scripture mostly in genealogies. The three exceptions are in Jude 1:14 where he is called a prophet and quoted. His book has been lost to time. Enoch is mentioned first in Genesis 5:21-24. It says that he was not for God took him. A lot of questions about this, but it is explained in Hebrews 11:5. It says that he was not found and that Enoch should not see death. Some claim that he was simply transferred away from people who wanted to kill him because of his message of God and use John 3:13 to prove that neither him nor Elijah were taken to Heaven but rather moved away from those trying to kill them. However a closer examination of that verse in John is referring to ascending on their own power. Enoch and Elijah ascended into Heaven not by their own power but by God's where as Jesus did it on His own.

Answer 3

Genesis 5:21-24

"When Enoch had lived 65 years, he became the father of Methuselah. After he became the father of Methuselah, Enoch walked faithfully with God 300 years and had other sons and daughters. Altogether, Enoch lived a total of 365 years. Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away."

Enoch was raptured immediately into the presence of God in Heaven.

What an awesome thought. To be walking so closely with God as a human here on earth that God just allowed Enoch to come continue the walk to God's home.

Answer 4

"And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him." --Genesis 5:24. Is that what you meant??

According the the Scriptures, Enoch shares the same fate as did King Melchizedek and Prophet Elijah, who did not physically die but were brought to Heaven in their own time.

Peace be with you.

Answer 5

Here you go.

Hebrews 11:5-6

5 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. Gen. 5.21-24

Gen. 5:21-24

21 ¶ And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methu'selah:

22 and Enoch walked with God after he begat Methu'selah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:

23 and all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:

24 and Enoch Heb. 11.5 walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.



6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Answer 6

Yes

Answer 7

Enoch went north to the British Isles... spread the knowldege of building, calendars, and astronomy to assist in surviving the deluge.

Answer 8

Dead and Buried, but not forgotten By God. He could not have Gone into Heaven because Jesus Himself said the following..
"  Moreover, no man has ascended into heaven but he that descended from heaven, the Son of man. ( John 3:13)

Answer 9

The scriptures do not answer your question. We only know that he was with God.

Answer 10

He is a mansion builder apparently, along with Moses and Elijah. No wonder the road is narrow and the few will enter the kingdom of heaven. There aren't enough contractors to complete the promised mansions.
