By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death;
and was not found, because God had translated him:
for before his translation
he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
Hebrews 11:5
"Enoch walked with God three hundred years previous to his translation to heaven, and the state of the world was not then more favorable for the perfection of Christian character than it is today.
And how did Enoch walk with God? He educated his mind and heart to ever feel that he was in the presence of God, and when in perplexity his prayers would ascend to God to keep him.
He refused to take any course that would offend his God. He kept the Lord continually before him.
Thus he was constantly shaping his way and course in accordance with God's commandments, and he had perfect confidence and trust in his heavenly Father, that He would help him. He had no thought or will of his own. It was all submerged in the will of his Father.
Now Enoch was a representative of those who will be upon the earth when Christ shall come, who will be translated to heaven without seeing death."
