Enoch Walks With God And Is Taken

In the early generations of humanity, before the Great Flood, a man named Enoch stood out for his profound piety. Unlike the rest of his contemporaries whose lives ended in death, Enoch simply bypassed the grave. He walked faithfully with God for three hundred years, and then "he was not, for God took him."

"And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him."
— Genesis 5:24
Timeline Box: Enoch is the first of two Old Testament figures to be taken to heaven without experiencing physical death.
