Enoch was taken up

(1/5) > >>

Felix:
I believe that when a person dies he is dead.
Hebrews 9:27  It is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgement.
Hebrews 11:5  Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death.
How do we reconcile these two verses? Help.
                                                                                    God Bless

Hebrews 11:5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and he was not found, because God translated him: for he hath had witness borne to him that before his translation he had been well-pleasing unto God


Enoch was transferred to a different location because he was in danger. Did Enoch never ever die?


Nonsense, Enoch died a long time ago! See for yourself:

Hebrews 11:4 By faith ABEL….

5 By faith ENOCH…

7 By faith NOAH…

8 By faith ABRAHAM…

11 By faith even SARAH…

13  THESE ALL DIED in faith, not having received the promises…


Who “ALL DIED”? ALL THESE who were previously mentioned in the verses preceding verse 13!


Hope this helps,

Greetings Daywalker,

Just out of curiosity how did you come to the conclusion that Enoch was in danger?

Hi
If you type Enoch into the search box you should get plenty of information about this subject. I believe Ray has covered it a number of times.

 Here is an email to Ray that should help on the why.

Dear Ray,
        WOW! Thank you for hearing and obeying God! Your web site has changed my life, Praise the Lord!
        You say when we die were dead, waiting for the resurrection.
        What about Enoch? Why would God take Him just to make him sleep?
        Thanks again.

        Dear Bill:  We are not told where or why God transported [translated means transferred or transported] Enoch to a different location. Undoubtedly his life was in danger as he was relatively young (compared to others at that time) when God moved him. But just like with all men (Heb. 9:27), Enoch also died. Notice it:  "Abel, ENOCH, Noah, Abraham, Sarah...." (Heb. 11:20-9) all died: "These ALL DIED in faith, NOT having received the promises...." (Heb. 11:13).
         
        Elijah was also taken by God and transported to another location where he later
        wrote a letter (II Chron. 21:12).
         
        God be with you,
        Ray

 
 Blessings,
Suzie
