The Story of Enoch
Enoch was a man who lived in this world even before the time
of Noah. Enoch had a most unusual life story. Something
happened to him that was very unique. In Genesis chapter 5
we have the names of different men (like Adam, Seth and
Methuselah) who lived in the days before the great flood. Read
Genesis chapter 5, verses 5, 8, 11, 14, 17 and 20. What are the
last three words in each of these verses? ________________

All of these men died! Methuselah was the oldest man who ever
lived. How old was he when he died (Genesis 5:27)?
________________ These men all died, but there is one man
mentioned in this chapter who did not die. Something very
unusual and something very special happened to this man and
he never died!
We learn about this man in Genesis 5:21-24. His name was
Enoch. Did Enoch fight against God and disobey God, or did

verse, did Enoch ever see death? _________________________
We are told that Enoch was TRANSLATED (Hebrews 11:5).
This means that he was moved from one place to another. He
was quickly moved from earth to heaven! Enoch WAS NOT
FOUND! Those who were still on the earth could not find
him because God took him!
Was Enoch a man who pleased God or displeased God
(Hebrews 11:5)? __________________
Was Enoch a man who believed God (Hebrews 11:6)? _______
Enoch was a man who never died. What happened to him was
very unusual! But the amazing thing is that the Bible tells us
that what happened to Enoch is going to happen
again, perhaps very soon! And this time it will
not happen to just one man, it will happen to
many people. There will be a whole group
of people who will never see death. There
