Enoch’s Prophetic Vision

Enoch was one of the great characters of the patriarchal dispensation. “All the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years.” Genesis 5:23. “By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; … for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.” Hebrews 11:5.AGP 40.1

That to Enoch was imparted the prophetic gift is revealed by the apostle Jude: “Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of His saints, to execute judgment upon all.” Jude 14, 15.AGP 40.2

The fullness of the revelation given to Enoch is indicated thus by another:AGP 40.3

“He [Enoch] was one of the holy line, the preservers of the true faith, the progenitors of the promised Seed.” “In prophetic vision he was instructed concerning the death of Christ, and was shown His coming in glory, attended by all the holy angels, to ransom His people from the grave.” “God revealed to Enoch His purpose to destroy the world by a flood, and He also opened more fully to him the plan of redemption. By the spirit of prophecy He carried him down through the generations that should live after the Flood, and showed him the great events connected with the second coming of Christ and the end of the world.” Patriarchs and Prophets, 84, 85.
