As far as the bible record goes there were only two human beings in all of human history who were translated and did not die. and he died, for when it comes to the name Enoch, he must say, He was not, for God took him, and this marks Enoch as a most unusual man. About one man out of the nine, the divinely inspired penman is not able to write. Here's a record of 1500 years of human history in which it's recorded eight times.

When the serpent came tempting Eve, he said to her a flat and blatant lie. Remember the Lord God had said to Adam and Eve concerning the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, On the day that thou eatest of it thou shalt surely die (Gen. is the refrain that rings like the tolling of a bell all the way through this account, and he died., contradicting, as you'll recognize, the lie of Satan in the garden of Eden. Someone has called this God's obituary column because over and over again it's recorded of these men that they lived so many years, begat so and so, and then lived so many years after that, and then he died. His name is Enoch, and his name occurs for us first in Genesis, the fifth chapter, in the midst of a survey some 1500 years of human history which is given very rapidly and focuses around nine men. Today we want to look at one of the most mysterious and unusual men in scripture, the man who is listed in the genealogy in Genesis 5 as the seventh from Adam. This is the next to the last of the series scheduled for this summer on the great characters of the bible some rather obscure men, others more well known.
