The possibility of death entered the world in Genesis 3 when sin entered the world, the first recorded death occurs right after in Genesis 4. From then on death is prevalent and inevitable throughout history in all of mankind, but in Genesis 5:24 we read "Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away." Enoch was removed from the perished kingdom of the world and was taken away by God. Enoch's life is a testimony of hope in a fallen world, he lived through faith and walked with God.
Amos 3:3 says "Do two walk together unless they have agreed to do so?"
Enoch pleased God, and essentially God agreed to walk with Enoch, and it could be assumed they walked together, for Godliness is to walk with God, and to be reconciled to God. Enoch did not only live, but he experienced life in the way God intended life to be experienced, to be perfectly in tune with the Holy Spirit, and to walk with God, to be with God every step of the way, to look to God in every circumstance, and to live a life pleasing to him. Enoch did not live an ordinary life, and subsequently did not die an ordinary death, but was taken away.
The writer of Hebrews (11:5-6) writes "By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death: “He could not be found, because God had taken him away.” For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God. And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him."
This points us to the promise God is leading us to of our eventual victory over death through Jesus Christ, the one man who could truly be one with God, because He was God. There is hope, and God gave us hints and signs to this hope right at the beginning of His book. Enoch's life points to "The Promised Kingdom", that though there is death and sin in this world, there is always hope. Jesus will come again and establish "The Perfected Kingdom", and so we should live our lives on this earth following Him and walking with Him in anticipation of being reunited with Him in that kingdom.
