'''Enoch''' was a (perhaps [[prophetHebrew]] of , "Enlightened") (688 [[GodAnno Mundi|AM]]. The book - ) was the son of [[GenesisJared]] in , the father of [[Old TestamentMethuselah]] says "Enoch walked with God, and was not, for God took him", that he lived 365 years, and that he was the great-grandfather of [[Noah]]. (as recorded in the [http://www[Bible]] in the [[Book of Genesis]].biblegateway.com/passage/?search= All of the genealogies in Genesis%205end with the words "and then he died" except for Enoch. The Bible has this to say about Enoch:22-29;&version=9; Genesis 5:22-29])
==Mormon Beliefs==Members of {{Bible quote|When Enoch had lived 65 years, he became the [[Church father of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]] (Mormons) have additional scriptures in Methuselah. And after he became the ''Book father of Moses'' in the [[Pearl of Great Price]] that describe the prophet Methuselah, Enoch walked with God 300 years and city of Zionhad other sons and daughters. <ref>[http://wwwAltogether, Enoch lived 365 years.ldsEnoch walked with God; then he was no more, because God took him away.org/ldsorg/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid|book=e36d5f74db46c010VgnVCM1000004d82620aRCRD&localeGenesis|chap=0&sourceId5|verses=b1e3ff3ff4c20110VgnVCM100000176f620a____&hideNav=1 “Chapter 5: Enoch,” Old Testament Stories, LDS.org]</ref>21-24}}
==References=={{reflist|2}}Most other people at that time were living for 900 years or more. Enoch is unique in both the relative shortness of his life and that he is not described as dying. In the [[New Testament]] of the Bible in the [[Book of Hebrews]] Enoch is mentioned again under the section of the 'Heroes of the Faith' and explains that Enoch never knew death. <blockquote>By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death; he could not be found, because God had taken him away. For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God." (Hebrews 11:5 NIV)</blockquote>
== See Also ==*The only other person the Bible describes as being taken up without experiencing death was [[AdamElijah]]*. (However, the [[Biblical chronology disputeRoman Catholic]]*church believes that the [[ElijahVirgin Mary]]*was also [[MethuselahAssumption of the Virgin|assumed]]into [[Heaven]].) Some speculate the two witnesses who preach to the world in the end times in the [[Book of Revelation]] are Elijah and Enoch since they never tasted death.
Enoch was a [[prophet]], who prophesied:
{{Bible quote|See, the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of His holy ones to judge everyone, and to convict all the ungodly of all the ungodly acts they have done in the ungodly way, and of all the harsh words ungodly sinners have spoken against Him. |book=Jude|chap=1|verses=14-15}}
While this quote is nowhere else found in the canonical Scriptures, it is found in the pseudepigraphical Book of Enoch, which dates at least to the second century BC.<ref>http://creation.com/images/pdfs/articles/sons-of-god-genesis-6.pdf</ref> It is not known where Jude got the quote from; if this is the same Jude who was the half-brother of [[Jesus]], he could conceivably have learned the quote directly from Jesus and not from any book at all. ==External LinksExtra Biblical References==*Several apocryphal works dealing with Enoch were written near the time of Jesus. A quote from one of those books, [[1 Enoch]], appears in the [[Epistle of Jude]] from the Bible where Enoch is [[Prophecy|prophesying]] against false teachers. ====Mormon Beliefs====Members of the [[Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]] (Mormons) have additional scriptures in the ''Book of Moses'' in the [[Pearl of Great Price]] that describe Enoch and his status as prophet as well as information on the city of Zion.<ref>[http://www.lds.org/ldsorg/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=e36d5f74db46c010VgnVCM1000004d82620aRCRD&locale=0&sourceId=b1e3ff3ff4c20110VgnVCM100000176f620a____&hideNav=1 “Chapter 5: Enoch,” Old Testament Stories, LDS.org]</ref> ==References=={{reflist}}
