NKJV 365 / Enoch

NKJV 365 Day Reading Plan

Day 314 of 365 The most fascinating name in this listing is that of Enoch (not the son of Cain of the same name, 4:17). The phrase, Enoch walked with God (vv. 22, 24), expresses a life of fellowship with and obedience to the Lord (as was true of Noah, 6:8). It also recalls the experience of Adam and Eve, who had lived in even closer proximity to the Lord before the Fall (3:8). he was not: This phrase does not mean that Enoch ceased to exist, instead it means that he was taken into God's presence, for God took him. Only Enoch and Elijah (see 2 Kin. 2:11) ever had this experience. Enoch's remarkable experience was both a testimony of his deep faith in God (see Heb. 11:5, 6) and a strong reminder at the beginning of biblical history that there is life in God's presence after death for the people of God. What Enoch experienced in a remarkable, dramatic fashion is what each person who "walks with God" will experience-everlasting life with the Savior. Taken from NKJV Study Bible Genesis 5:21-24 NASB 21 Enoch lived sixty-five years, and became the father of Methuselah. 22 Then Enoch walked with God three hundred years after he became the father of Methuselah, and he had other sons and daughters. 23 So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years. 24 Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.
