What do you think it means that Enoch “was no more because God took him away”?

Enoch went to Heaven without dying.

Why did Enoch get to go straight to Heaven without dying? What was so special about him?

He walked with God. He had a good relationship with God. God showed him mercy by allowing him to skip death.

Read Hebrews 11:5

We probably will not be taken from this life like Enoch was. We will probably experience death. But if we walk with God and try to have a good relationship with God and live our lives in such a way that we are trying to please God, we can have faith that we will end up where Enoch went, in Heaven.

Read 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
