Genesis 5:24 And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him

Enoch was removed to a better world
 Quoting: b4its2l8


And of course - there is controversy swirling around Enoch - whether he did or didn't die.

This author says yes, he did die:

From WND:

If you look closely, though, what the Bible actually does say is that Enoch died.

Yes, it’s in your Bible. Enoch died.

“In Hebrews chapter 11, there is a list of famous heroes from the Old Testament,” says Kovacs. “There are great names mentioned including Abraham, Noah, Abel and Enoch. And guess what the Bible says about these outstanding characters who followed the true God of the universe. It says they all died.”

These all died in faith, not having received the promises (Hebrews 11:13, King James Version)

Feel free to open up any translation of your own Bible right now, and you’ll see that these Old Testament heroes all died.

All these faithful ones died without receiving what God had promised them … (New Living Translation)

All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised … (New International Version)

In this article we get the opposite argument - he didn't die:

Small Excerpt:

On the surface it would appear we have two contradicting statements only a few sentences apart. But there are a couple of ways of looking at this supposed conundrum.

First, there is a simple theological explanation. In Hebrews 11 there appears to be a division of main ideas presented in verses 1–5 and verses 6–13. Notice that verse 13 states, “"These all died in faith, not having received the promises."” What promises? When we look back on verses 7–11 we see that each person who is mentioned received and believed a promise, so verse 13 only refers to Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Sarah—not Enoch or Abel.

Hebrews does not mention any promises concerning Enoch and Abel in verses 4–5. And the author specifically mentions Abel was dead and Enoch was not.

Second, there is a simple grammatical explanation. Enoch is the exception to the rule. The rule is that everyone listed did not escape death. And then Enoch is the exception since it was stated, “"He did not see death."”

There are only a few lines in the bible that mention Enoch - but there is actually a book of Enoch:

Wiki:

Book of Enoch

The Book of Enoch (also 1 Enoch;[1] Ge'ez: መጽሐፈ ሄኖክ mets’iḥāfe hēnoki) is an ancient Jewish religious work, ascribed by tradition to Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah. The older sections (mainly in the Book of the Watchers) of the text are estimated to date from about 300 BCE, and the latest part (Book of Parables) probably to the 1st century BCE.[2]

It is not part of the biblical canon as used by Jews, apart from Beta Israel. Most Christian denominations and traditions may accept the Books of Enoch as having some historical or theological interest, but they generally regard the Books of Enoch as noncanonical or noninspired. It is regarded as canonical by the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church and Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church, but not by any other Christian groups.
