(This is an automatic translation still pending corrections)
His name comes from Hebrew "Chanok" which translates "initiated".
The Prophet Enoch was the son of Jared and father of Methuselah, being the seventh in line of descent from Adam by his son Seth (including Adam). Lived on Earth during 365 years, from 3,382 BC to 3,017 BC and was 308 years old when Adam died, according to the Bible.
He was notable because he walked with God for 300 years after his first son, to 165 years. His life was relatively short for that time, and did not end with death, but "God took him to himself" meaning that he did not die. The reason this exception was that by his faith he pleased God (Hebrews 11: 5). Outside Adam, none of his ancestors still had died. This expression was also used for the transfer of Elijah (2 Kings 2: 3.5), the only other man who didn't die.
He is even more exceptional because nothing is revealed in the Old Testament about any prophecy that he made, but the fact was informed by the Holy Spirit to the writer Jude, who wrote a letter of universal scope to the believers in Christ, incorporated into the New Testament. See:
"Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying, "Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints, to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him." " (Jude v. 14).
This prophecy was made about "ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ. ... dreamers who defile the flesh, reject authority, and speak evil of dignitaries ... they speak evil of whatever they do not know; and whatever they know naturally, like brute beasts, in these things they corrupt themselves... they feast with you without fear, serving only themselves". In short, they are false teachers, false prophets, and false pastors.
It was a permanent warning because this kind of ungodly men have existed from the time of Enoch, more than five millennia ago even until our days!
As Enoch and Elijah, those who are called, sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ (Jude v. 1) still alive, will not suffer death, but will be transformed and caught up to be with the Lord Jesus and with the dead saints resurrected on the occasion of His coming in the air to rapture his Church. (Tess 1.4:17).
Then there will be a great tribulation on Earth for seven years (Revelation 3:10, 6-18), after which He will fulfill this prophecy of Enoch (Revelation 19:11 -21).
