grace to Enoch

Hebrews 11:5 (JDV)

Hebrews 11:5 By faith Enoch was transferred, and so he did not see death. He was not to be found because God transferred him. You see, before he was transferred, he was approved as one who pleased God.

grace to Enoch

By God’s grace, Enoch was spared from seeing the death of his descendants. He was allowed to die before the flood came. The myth that Enoch was taken to heaven is disproved in this same New Testament book, which tells us that all these heroes of faith died, without receiving the promised things that await all believers (11:13). All means all.

By God’s grace, we are also taken in death so that we do not see the consequences of our descendants’ failures.
