14 Proofs That Enoch is Dead
ACCORDING TO THE LAW AND THE TESTIMONY-Isa 8:20
-
There Are Only 2 Adams Written of In the Bible, And Enoch Ain't One of Them.
-
He was not Taken to heaven, just to another place To Die
-
These All Died (Hebrew 11 chapter) Included Enoch Too

Now WE WILL PROVE 14 TIMES that the belief that Enoch did not die PROMOTES MUTILATION AND DENYING OF THE PLAIN WORD AND CREATES EXCEPTIONS, CONFLICTS WITHIN THE SOUND DOCTRINE FOUND IN THE HOLY SCRIPTURES just to exalt the corrupt philosophy of a man thus making lies in the WORD OF GOD
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.(Col 2:8)
Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.(Phi 3:2)
[concision means mutilation]
AND ABOVE ALL JESUS WARNED US ABOUT IDLE WORDS
But I say unto you, That EVERY IDLE WORD that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and BY THY WORDS thou shalt be condemned.
Produce your cause, saith the Lord; bring forth your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob.
Thus saith the Lord God; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
Isaiah 1:18-20
1)There Are Only 2 Adams, Written of In The Bible
and Enoch Ain't One of them ....Because he is dead.
The First one Flesh and Blood Adam
of Whom We All Come out of,
Then Jesus The Spirit By the Resurrection,
the Second Man Adam. The bible makes it plain that
there is nothing else for
man to exist in.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is
born of the Spirit is spirit.
(John 3:6)
MANY HAVE A DOCTRINE that Enoch DID NOT DIE because they refuse to continue to study or read further in Hebrews the 11th chapter they attempt to support their train of thought by only reading " With God all things are possible". But, if Enoch actually didn't die, as all humans die THEN HE WOULD BE ANOTHER FIRST, AN ADAM TO COME OUT OF FLESH AND BLOOD TO LIVE FOREVER AND THE BIBLE WOULD CALL HIM THAT.
But Who Does the Bible Call "THE LAST ADAM, THE SECOND MAN"
1 Corinthians 15:45 And so it is written, The FIRST MAN ADAM was made a living soul; THE LAST ADAM was made a QUICKENING SPIRIT.
With that Bible statement alone EVERYONE KNOWS their was NO FLESH AND BLOOD MAN EXISTED BEFORE ADAM. In the very same verse JESUS IS LIKEN in exactly the same way, THERE IS NO MAN WHO HAS AVOIDED THE 1ST DEATH TO COME OUT OF FLESH & BLOOD TO BE A SPIRIT BEFORE JESUS DID IT IN HIS RESURRECTION.
1 Corinthians 15:47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: THE SECOND MAN is the Lord from heaven.
Romans 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of HIS SON, that he might be THE FIRSTBORN among many brethren.
But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become THE FIRSTFRUIT of them that slept.
For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
But every man in his own order: Christ THE FIRSTFRUITS; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. (1 Cor 15:20-23)
conclusion: Just as no flesh and Blood Man existed before the first Adam, NO MAN HAS COME OUT OF FLESH AND BLOOD BEFORE JESUS DID, IT'S WHY HE CARRIES THE TITLES:
FIRST FRUIT, FIRSTBORN,
therefore Enoch is dead OR THE BIBLE IS LYING ABOUT.
JESUS BEING THE FIRST FRUIT / FIRST BORN
So we know Enoch is Dead
2)He was not Taken to heaven, just to another
place on Earth to Die
Some people HAVE A DOCTRINE that Enoch DID NOT DIE but was RAPTURED directly to heaven where God is OR HE IS JUST SOMETHING ELSE WALKING AROUND THE EARTH WITHOUT POWER or they even try their best to justify this false train of thought by reading " With God all things are possible". But, Enoch actually died, as all humans die and this is the truth. How can we know?
The apostle Paul mentioned the circumstances associated with Enoch in Hebrews 11:5, along with other men of faith, and then stated: "These all died in faith, not having received the promises" (Hebrews 11:13). Yes, Enoch died, and he did not receive the promise of Eternal life (verse 16) at the time the book of Hebrews was written.
Based on Hebrews 11:5,13 and Jesus’ statement in John.3:13, "no man hath ascended up to heaven", how are we to understand the account of Enoch? Genesis 5:21-24 says that Enoch's days, alive on Earth, ended at 365 years old. The question we must ask is, did he die, was he taken to heaven alive, or was he transported to another location on Earth?
And the Apostle Peter FULL OF THE HOLYGHOST said this about David:
Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that HE IS BOTH DEAD AND BURIED, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day. Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne; (Acts 2:29-30)
Followed up with at verse 34
FOR DAVID IS NOT ASCENDED TO HEAVENS :But he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
Now if David hasn't gone to heaven (and he never will) of whom Jesus was raised to SET ON HIS THRONE we need to further examine the following verse extremely close in Genesis 5:24, where it says,
"And Enoch walked with God: and HE WAS NOT; for God took him" and compare the same type of phrases in Psalms 37:36
"Yet he passed away, and, lo, HE WAS NOT: yea, I sought him, BUT HE COULD NOT BE FOUND."
The phrases in bold blue are the same type as in Gen 5:24 And Enoch walked with God: and HE WAS NOT; for God took him and in Hebrew 11:5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; AND WAS NOT FOUND
Genesis 5:24. as in the Psalms, the phrase means the person "passed away" or IS DEAD.
Let’s look at the same phrase in the book of Genesis concerning Joseph and his brethren which thought he was dead:
Genesis 42:13, "And they said, Thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and, behold, the youngest is this day with our father, AND ONE IS NOT."
This was spoken by his brothers of Joseph. What did they mean by "IS NOT"?
REMEMBER AT THIS POINT THEY THOUGHT JOSEPH WAS DEAD, EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE UNAWARE THAT THEY WERE SPEAKING TO HIM
Genesis 44:20, "And we said unto my lord, We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one; and HIS BROTHER IS DEAD, and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth him."
Here, the brothers recount their previous discussion about Joseph with Pharaoh. When they first said, "AND ONE IS NOT," so they meant Joseph "IS DEAD."
NOW LET'S CONFIRM THIS FROM THE LAW TO THE TESTIMONY THAT THIS LIST OF PHRASES:
-
WAS NOT
-
IS NOT
IS A BIBLICAL WAY OF EXPRESSING "ARE DEAD"
Lam 5:7
We have given the hand to the Egyptians, and to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread. OUR FATHERS have sinned, AND ARE NOT; and we have borne their iniquities.
This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as YOUR FATHERS did eat manna, AND ARE DEAD: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.
EVEN WHEN THE CHILDREN OF JESUS GENERATION WAS MURDERED NOTICE "THEY ARE NOT" MEANS "THEY ARE DEAD".
Matthew 2:16-18, "Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, AND SLEW ALL THE CHILDREN. that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men. Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying,In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because THEY ARE NOT."
So where were Rachel's children? THEY ARE DEAD.
NOW LET ADDRESS THE " GOD TOOK HIM" PART OF Genesis 5:24
Enoch lived the time period RIGHT BEFORE GOD DESTROYED THE WICKED BECAUSE OF THEIR EVIL WAYS Genesis 6:5-7
And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; FOR GOD TOOK HIM
NOTICE WHAT GOD WILL DO TO THE RIGHTEOUS
I
THE RIGHTEOUS PERISHETH , and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men ARE TAKEN AWAY, none considering that the righteous is TAKEN AWAY FROM THE EVIL TO COME.(Isaiah 57:1)
Therefore knowing this we know that God TOOK HIM AWAY TO DIE IN ANOTHER PLACE ON EARTH, TO COMPLETE ALL OF HIS DAYS WHICH WAS 365 YEARS and NOT TO SEE HIS DEATH BY THE FLOOD THAT CAME
Hebrews 11:5, "By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him:"
Now does the phrase that says Enoch "should not see death" mean Enoch never died? NO WAY especially according to Hebrews 11:13, "THESE ALL DIED [including Enoch] IN FAITH." But not only that, verse 13 goes on to say that they did not receive the promises. One of the promises was a heavenly country (verse 16). So if Enoch were in heavenly country, wouldn't he have received that promise?
Psalms 89:48, "What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah." Why would this Psalmist ask such a question concerning physical death if he believed Enoch did not see a physical death? The fact is, the Psalmist believed Enoch was in the grave and therefore he asked this question.
So what does the phrase "should not see death" mean? Notice it is not in the present tense, that he "did not see" death, but that he "should not see death.
, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, HE SHALL NEVER SEE DEATH"
John 8:51
[see also John 11:26].
SO WE SEE THIS PROMISE ISN'T ONLY TO ENOCH BUT TO ALL THAT KEEP
HIS SAYINGS
YET WE ALL KNOW THAT
A SAINT SOMEWHERE ON THIS PLANET
THAT KEPT JESUS SAYING JUST DIED
And as IT IS APPOINTED unto men ONCE TO DIE, but after this the judgment:
Heb 9:27
Therefore IT IS EVIDENT that the phrase also means "the second death," since ALL THE Apostles kept Jesus’ sayings and YET DIED THE FIRST DEATH.
(see death of the Apostles)
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of
THE SECOND DEATH (Revelation 2:11)
Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such THE SECOND DEATH hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.(Revelation 20:6)
3)"These All Died in Faith" Included Enoch Too, Hebrew 11th Chapter.
Based on Hebrews 9:27, "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:" and Hebrews 11:13, "These all died in faith, not having received the promises," we must conclude that Enoch died the first death. To believe Enoch did not die is TO CONFLICT WITH AND DENY THE PLAIN WORD of many other scriptures as well. For example, Romans 5:12, "...so death passed upon ALL MEN, for that ALL HAVE SINNED" and Romans 5:14, "...death reigned from ADAM TO MOSES, even over them that had not sinned." So If Enoch was the exception WHY DIDN'T PAUL SAY SO?( WE EXPAND ON THIS POINT WITH PROOF #10)
This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that there is one event unto all: yea, also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead.(Ecclesiastes 9:3)
So are we to diminsh that ONE EVENT UNTO ALL did not include Enoch?Are we to believe that Enoch did not sin? Are we to believe that a man who was not yet cleansed of sin by the blood of Jesus could be made immortal to dwell in God's presence? He definitly was not Taken to heaven, just to another place on earth to die BEFORE THE FLOODING OF THE EARTH in the days of Noah.
4) Proof that Translated Does Not Mean “ MADE IMMORTAL”
But what about Enochs translation in Hebrews 11:5? Doesn't that mean he didn’t die?
That’s what most people carelessly assume without proof. The Bible does not say that Enoch went to heaven OR WAS MADE IMMORTAL when he was translated. Instead, it says he "was not found." According to the applicable websters dictionary, "translate" means "to put or place in another place, to transport, to transfer." Nowhere in the Scripture does ‘translate’ mean to make immortal!
Ask anyone that speaks more that one language and can translate a speech from language to another language in writing on paper which is called an TRANSLATION, even they know translation HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH MAKING SOMEONE IMMORTAL
We even have different TRANSLATED versions of the bible, which again HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH MAKING SOMEONE OR SOMETHING IMMORTAL
Translated is Defined: TO MOVE from one place or condition to another.
Noun i.e A PERSON (aka ENOCH), place or thing.
"she had BEEN TRANSLATED from familiar surroundings to a foreign court"
SYNONMYS OF TRANSLATE
verb
interpret - render- gloss- put -express
convert - change- construe - transcribe - transliterate
relocate -transfer- move- remove -shift- convey
transport -transplant
BUT NOTICE " IMMORTALITY AINT MENTIONED
Notice even the biblical proof that ‘translated’ does not mean to make immortal.
So do God to Abner, and more also, except, as the Lord hath sworn to David, even so I do to him; TO TRANSLATE THE KINGDOM FROM the house of Saul, and to set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, from Dan even to Beersheba. (2 Sam 3:9-10)
Paul wrote that the Father "hath delivered us from the power of darkness, AND HATH TRANSLATED US INTO THE KINGDOM of his dear Son" (Colossians 1:13).
The apostle Paul says that he was already translated, even though he was still physically alive! Although he was once part of the darkness of this world, he was translated, removed from darkness, into the light of the kingdom of God while he was physically alive!
Haven't YOU BEEN TRANSLATED from the darkness [i.e christmas, easter, a lawless faith, sunday worship] to the light [ the Lords feast[Lev 23 chpt], the commandments of God (Rev 14:12), and good doctrine(Prb 4:1-2) the Lords sabbath which is Saturday(Mat 28:1)? BUT ARE YOU AN IMMORTAL RIGHT NOW? NO, therefore translated DOES NOT MEAN MADE IMMORTAL and Enoch is just as dead as The Apostle Paul that wrote that we as saints are translated.
5) Transfiguration: Moses and Elijah was displayed, but NOT ENOCH, WHY?
Because he is nothing else, but dead.
(SEE PROOF #3, BECAUSE HE DIED AS STATED IN HEB 11:13)
Now surely if there was ever an Epic time that God wanted to establish that Enoch was still alive surely at the Transfiguration God would have made it clear, and wipe away any doubt.
Matthew 17:1-12 (BUT NO APPEARANCE OF ENOCH)
And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, TELL THE VISION TO NO MAN, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.
So to make the statement that Enoch is still alive, or something else clearly is a trangression of the following passages
Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.
Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee,
and thou be found a liar.
Revelations 22:18-19
18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
AT NO POINT NOR IN ANY SCRIPTURE BEYOND GENESIS
DOES AN APPEARANCE OF ENOCH OCCUR, BECAUSE HE DIED IN THE FAITH.
6) It’s written “he walked with God”, therefore he’s not walking with God now, Because He's dead.
At the age of 65, Enoch had a son named Methuselah. But how long did Enoch walk with God?
Genesis 5:22, "And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters."
So, Enoch followed God’s ways for three hundred years. Notice that the Scripture does not record that Enoch is still walking (a present tense)with God. It says that Enoch WALKED (A PAST TENSE) with God for three hundred years, and not one year more. Why? Because "ALL THE DAYS OF Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years" (Genesis 5:23). Paul says, in Colossians 1:10, "That ye might walk worthy of the Lord." Enoch walked with God and pleased God. This is what Genesis 5:22,24 means when it says "Enoch walked with God."
Now notice in the next series of verses here in Genesis 5:8,11,14,17,20,23,27, and 31 some will run here quickly to point out that everybody died but Enoch, but ignore the consistent phrase “ ALL THE DAYS OF”. The statement “ALL THE DAYS OF” means they had a LIMITED TIME or to make it plain THEY DIED which is in harmony with other passages in the bible like this passage:
For ALL OUR DAYS are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told (Psalm 90:9) and Enoch death was not omitted in Hebrews 11:13 "THESE ALL DIED IN FAITH".
Genesis 5:8
And ALL THE DAYS OF Seth were nine hundred and twelve years: and he died.
Genesis 5:11
And ALL THE DAYS OF Enos were nine hundred and five years: and he died.
Genesis 5:14
And ALL THE DAYS OF Cainan were nine hundred and ten years: and he died.
Genesis 5:17
And ALL THE DAYS OF Mahalaleel were eight hundred ninety and five years: and he died.
Genesis 5:20
And ALL THE DAYS OF Jared were nine hundred sixty and two years: and he died.
Genesis 5:23
And ALL THE DAYS OF Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:
Genesis 5:27 [ SEE Heb 11:13 He died too according to the N.T]
And ALL THE DAYS OF Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died.
Genesis 5:31
And ALL THE DAYS OF Lamech were seven hundred seventy and seven years: and he died.
Genesis 9:29
And ALL THE DAYS OF Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.
I sought in mine heart to give myself unto wine, yet acquainting mine heart with wisdom; and to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was that good for the sons of men, which they should do under the heaven ALL THE DAYS OF their life. (Ecclesiastes 2:3)
7) Eights Souls Saved From the Other side
of the Flood,Not Nine.
Now if Enoch was STILL WALKING or DIDN’T DIE then the following statements found in 1 & 2nd Peter ARE LIES:
Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, EIGHT SOULS were saved by water.1 Peter 3:20
(So if Enoch was actually still alive then it should have said NINE SOULS)
And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the EIGHTH PERSON, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;2 Peter 2:5
8) Jesus is the beginning of the creation of God,
Not Enoch
And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, THE BEGINNING OF THE GREATION OF GOD;
Revelation 3:14
Not Enoch
And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write;These things saith THE FIRST and the last, which was dead, and is alive;
Revelation 2:8
Not Enoch
I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I AM ALIVE FOR EVERMORE Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
Revelation 1:18
Now if Enoch was a man alive for evemore too or if he's still living like Jesus,
then you are saying Jesus is lying and he could not be the first nor the beginning.
NOW IN THE CONTEXT OF ISAIAH 43RD CHAPTER CONCERNING WHO IS THE SAVIOUR
Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: BEFORE ME THERE WAS NO GOD FORMED, neither shall there be after me. I, EVEN I, AM THE LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.
Isaiah 43:10-11
NOW IN THE CONTEXT OF ISAIAH 44TH CHAPTER CONCERNING THE FOOLISHNESS OF IDOL WORSHIP
Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and BESIDE ME THERE IS NO GOD.
And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them shew unto them. Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. IS THERE A GOD BESIDE ME? YEA, THERE IS NO GOD; I KNOW NOT ANY.
Isaiah 44:6-8
SO IN NO WAY COULD ENOCH HAVE BECAME GOD BEFORE JESUS DID,
THEREFORE ENOCH IS DEAD .
9) Jesus “ Who Only Hath Immortality", is This
a True or False Statement? a True Statement
Now consider how many years have past since Enoch was alive on the other side of the flood all the way until now, and if he's still alive HE HAS IMMORTALITY. But when Paul wrote this he was talking about our Saviour Jesus:
Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen
(1 Timothy 6:15-16)
5
Now let see what written concerning US AND IMMORTALITY THAT ONLY JESUS HAS RIGHT NOW
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and THIS MORTAL MUST PUT ON IMMORTALITY. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written,
DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP IN VICTORY.
(1 Corinthians 15:53-54)
For as in Adam ALL DIE even so in Christ shall ALL BE made alive.(1 Corinthians 15:22)
IT SAYS THAT ALL DIE and all shall be resurrected, but in CHRIST SHALL ALL BE MADE ALIVE. Enoch could not possibly be included in this all if HE’S STILL ALIVE. Thus the doctrine of “Enoch is still alive”, IS ANOTHER DIRECT CONFLICT WITH BOTH PASSAGES and THERE ARE TWO THAT HAVE IMMORTALITY NOT ONE MAKING PAUL A LIAR
10) Jesus has The Preeminence, not Enoch
And he is THE HEAD of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
Colossians 1:18
The Apostle Paul even said Jesus had to be "have the preeminence" (Colossians 1:18). If anyone preceded Jesus, then he DID NOT HAVE THE PREEMINENCE. Since some people believe Enoch and Elijah did not die, but that Moses did die, then that would mean Moses had the preeminence over Jesus. Therefore, since Jesus had to be the first to be resurrected unto eternal life and the first to ascend into heaven and stand before God, Moses, ENOCH, OR ELIJAH could not possibly have been in heaven while Jesus was on earth
But every man in his own order: Christ THE FIRSTFRUITS; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.(1 Corinthians 15:23)
Also I will make him MY FIRSTBORN, HIGHER THAN than the kings of the earth. ( Psalms 89:27)
So if Enoch preceded Jesus to be the first
MAN TO BECOME AN IMMORTAL,
THE FATHER DID NOT MAKE HIM HIGHER
And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I AM A LIVE FOR EVERMORE; and have the keys of hell and of death. Revelations 1:17-18
11) If he lived in this body of sin and death, then We know he is Dead
Solomon the wises man to ever live knew of no man that sinneth not......
If they sin against thee, (FOR THERE IS NO MAN THAT SINNETH NOT,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captives unto the land of the enemy, far or near;(1 Kings 8:46)
...........HE DIDN'T THINK ENOCH WALKING AROUND
For there is not a just man upon earth, THAT DOETH GOOD, AND SINNETH NOT.(Ecl 7:20)
BECAUSE ENOCH IS NOT IN HEAVEN,OR ALIVE
EVEN THE LORD HIMSELF SAID
Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: THE SOUL THAT SINNETH, IT SHALL DIE. (Ezekiel 18:4)
So are we to say Enoch never sinned?
The Apostle Paul knew of no man that dieth not, and said that Death reigned from Adam to Moses, and not to Enoch
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, AND DEATH BY SIN; AND SO DEATH PASSED UPON ALL MEN, FOR THAT ALL HAVE SINNED (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. NEVERTHELESS DEATH REIGNED FROM ADAM TO MOSES, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. (Rom 5:12-14)
SO EVEN PAUL DIDN’T THINK ENOCH WAS STILL ALIVE!
BECAUSE HE WROTE “DEATH REIGN FROM ADAM TO MOSES” HE DIDN’T WRITE "DEATH REIGN FROM ADAM TO ENOCH"
BECAUSE HE KNEW ENOCH
WAS DEAD TOO.
O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from THE BODY OF THIS DEATH? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; BUT WITH THE FLESH THE LAW OF SIN.
Roman 7:24-25
AND LASTLY KNOWING THAT ENOCH LIVED IN THIS BODY OF DEATH TOO
NOTICE WHAT JESUS DID FOR EVERY MAN
But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should TASTE DEATH FOR EVERY MAN .
For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died FOR ALL,THEN ALL WERE DEAD,THAT HE DIED FOR ALL, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them,
and rose again.
2 Corinthians 5:14-15
CONCLUSION IS : SO ENOCH IS DEAD THAT HE TOO MAY BE INCLUDED
IN THE GRACE OF GOD
12) Jesus is "THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD"
Therefore Enoch is Dead
Begotten means to procreate or generate offspring.
Genesis 5:4
And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:
Numbers 11:12
Have I conceived all this people? have I begotten them, that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing father beareth the sucking child, unto the land which thou swarest unto their fathers?
Now we that are led by the Spirit of God
(the word of God see John 6:63)
We are the sons of God
Romans 8:14
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
1 John 3:2
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
But when it comes to which Son is
THE ONLY BEGOTTEN by God the Father notice
What the word clearly and repeatedly states about Jesus
4 TIMES, and not 1 time about Enoch
John 1:18
No man hath seen God at any time, THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath DECLARED HIM.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:18
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD
1 John 4:16
In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON into the world, that we might live through him.
Conclusion: Enoch is Dead Because
Jesus is
THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD
13)The scripture found in Ps 89:48 "WHAT MAN IS HE THAT LIVETH AND SHALL NOT SEE DEATH".
This verses proves NO ONE THOUGHT or TAUGHT A DOCTRINE THAT ENOCH WAS STILL ALIVE.
Death throughout the WHOLE BIBLE is represented as a real object, now invisible, but which will make itself visible to us when we die. The meaning here is, “All men are mortal; this universal law must apply to kings as well as to other men; in a short time he to whom these promises pertain will pass away from the earth; and the promises made to him cannot then be fulfilled.”
HERE'S WHAT THE WISES KING LIVING UNDER OLD COVENANT WROTE
AND HE KNEW OF NO EXCEPTIONS!!!!
ALL go unto one place; ALL are of the dust, and ALL turn to dust again.
(Ecclesiasticus 3:20)
All things come alike TO ALL: THERE IS ONE EVENT to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not: as is the good, so is the sinner; and he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath. This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that there is ONE EVENT UNTO ALL: yea, also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead. For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion. FOR THE LIVING KNOW THAT THEY SHALL DIE : but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. 6 Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.
(Ecclesiasticus 9:2-6)
(Again see proof #11) PAUL KNEW OF NO EXCEPTIONS
TO PSALMS 89:48 BEFORE THE TIME CHRIST RETURNS
For as in Adam ALL DIE, even so in Christ shall ALL be made alive.
1 Cor 15:22
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin;
and so DEATH PASSED UPON ALL MEN, for that all have sinned:
Rom 5:12
14)THEIR IS NOT ONE CRYSTAL CLEAR SCRIPTURE WRITTEN IN THE NEW OR OLD TESTAMENT THAT TELLS YOU WHAT ENOCH IS RIGHT NOW
Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
1 Thes 5:21
FOUND ONLY IN THE MINDS OF THOSE WHO PHILOSOPHY,TWIST, IGNORE PLAIN
SCRIPTURE, TO BELIEVE IN THE RAPTURE, TO BELIEVE THEIR GOING TO HEAVEN, AND TRUST MORE IN THEIR LYING BIBLE TEACHERS MORE THAN THE WORD OF GOD
TO OVERTHROW THE CRYSTAL CLEAR PROOF
ENOCH IS PHYSICALLY DEAD AWAITING THE RESURRECTION ACCORDING TO
THE LAW AND THE TESTIMONY OF
THE HOLY BIBLE
but not to the philosophy and Exceptions to Sound Scripture Doctrines of men
You cannot read that Enoch is God, nor That Enoch is a Spirit Being, nor That Enoch is under Chains of Darkness.
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
2 Corinthians 10:5-6
Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way
Psalm 119:128
And we’ve established 14 proofs (and counting) that the doctrine of “Enoch is still alive” is a false way
For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
Romans 3:3-4
