Essex Remembrancer Genesis 5:24 And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him. I. ENOCH WALKED WITH GOD. II. THE TRANSLATION OF ENOCH. 1. As a work of omnipotence. (1) A suspension of the order of nature in this particular case, arresting the arm of death. (2) There was also a miraculous removal of the body of Enoch. 2. As a work of mercy. The wings of heavenly mercy overshadowed him, to protect him from the penalties of a violated law. 3. The translation of Enoch eminently displays the glory and honour of God. His love of the righteous was strikingly shown. His moral government was manifested, and His entire command over the present and the future so fully exemplified, that we cannot contemplate it without profound adoration of the Most High. 4. It was calculated to be beneficial to mankind, and to serve in that early stage of society the interests of truth and piety. (Essex Remembrancer.)
