Enoch – The Effectual Walk
The War of Good and Evil Continues
(Hebrews 11:5, 6)
Part 1
By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. (Hebrews 11:5, 6)
~
I desired Titus, and with him I sent a brother. Did Titus make a gain of you? walked we not in the same spirit? walked we not in the same steps?
(2nd Corinthians 12:18)
~
He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. (1st John 2:6)

Enoch WALKED with God
The Holy Spirit reveals and documents that the first man to WALK with God was Enoch. And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters. (Genesis 5:22) And Enoch walked with God: and he [was] not; for God took him. (Genesis 5:24) He mentions the word WALK twice, and that Enoch was the seventh from Adam in Jude 1:14. There is a reason why Enoch was the seventh from Adam. And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints. (Jude 1:14)
If you think that the walk of Enoch was easy in his day, then you are mistaken. The line of Cain was in the process of corrupting the sons of God through the daughters of men. Enoch’s prophecy in Jude 14 and 16 reveals the condition of his own time and sends a spear of prophecy into the future.
To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. (Jude 1:15)
These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage. (Jude 1:16)
This outstanding prophecy takes us to the final judgment of man upon the earth. For the Lord WILL come and He, the Son of man, WILL execute JUDGMENT upon ALL the ungodly. This is a SURE prophecy of the end times SEALED with the number seven, and the number seven takes us back to the seventh day when God looked on all that He had created. He looked upon the work of the Word of His power, and the work of His own hands, and He saw that it was very good.
Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. (Genesis 2:1) And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. (Genesis 2:2) And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. (Genesis 2:3)
Seven times the word good is mentioned in the first Chapter of Genesis. The last mention is . . . It was very good. Then God the Holy Spirit deliberately ties the end of the sixth day with the goodness of God.
And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. (Genesis 1:31) Then the seventh day begins in Chapter 2:2.
In the seventh day we see that it was SANCTIFIED and SET APART from all the other days. Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. (Genesis 2:1) And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. (Genesis 2:2) And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. (Genesis 2:3) Thus, the seventh day was established to be a day of rest in the future millenniums of time.
Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. (Hebrews 4:1)
For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. (Hebrews 4:2)
For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. (Hebrews 4:3)
For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. (Hebrews 4:4)
And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest. (Hebrews 4:5)
Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief: (Hebrews 4:6)
Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts. (Hebrews 4:7)
For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. (Hebrews 4:8)
There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. (Hebrews 4:9)
For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. (Hebrews 4:10)
Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. (Hebrews 4:11)
To confirm THE REST of God, as He rested on the seventh day, when He creates the NEW heavens and the NEW earth where righteousness will dwell, there will be THAT REST of another day. But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day [is] with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. (2nd Peter 3:8) As a day is as a thousand years with the Lord, and a thousand years as a day, so we labor in the gospel without wavering, step by step WALKING with God that we may enter into THAT rest in the city of our God, where the Lamb is the light thereof.
On the seventh day God rested, and THEN He chose a man, the seventh from Adam, to show the fullness of God’s rest by translating him OUT of this wicked world. As God rested from ALL of His work, so Enoch (being translated) rested as well from his work. There are many things given to us that will not be completed UNTIL that day of final rest. We enter into THAT rest, but will not receive it until the sixth day of God’s judgment upon man is complete including the great white throne judgment and the lake of fire. THEN as THIS heaven and THIS earth is dissolved by fire, the Almighty, the Lord Jesus Christ, by the Word of His power and by the works of His hands, will create a NEW heaven and a NEW earth. We will receive our rest IN the bosom of God’s dear Son, in the beloved city of God for all eternity.

Enoch PLEASED God
Enoch, the seventh from Adam, was set apart. He was chosen to be the FIRST prophet recorded in Scripture. Although the Holy Spirit kept the secrecy of his prophecy UNTIL the book of Jude. Again, we see God’s progressive revelation in Jude 14. And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints. The number seven is doubled as a witness in verse 14. God is specific both in Jude and in Genesis 5:22 thru 24. And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters. (Genesis 5:22) And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years. (Genesis 5:23) And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him. (Genesis 5:24)
Undoubtedly Abel, Seth, Enosh and the other men of Genesis Chapter 5 WALKED with God, however, with Enoch we have a CHOSEN vessel and a double witness of his WALK in the three verses in Genesis Chapter 5, thus, this gives us harmony with Hebrews 11:5 and 6. By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. (Hebrews 11:5) But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. (Hebrews 11:6)
As we have the first witness of end time prophecy in Enoch, we also have the first witness of TRANSLATION, which is confirmed in Hebrews 11:5, By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. I want you to come away from Scripture just for a moment and consider some of the technical marvels that man has made. We KNOW that there are giant computer screens where man, with his finger, can take a word or an object and move it on that screen to any place that the person desires. Now back to the Holy word of God . . . God at any time can view the complete word of God from BEFORE it was given to the complete fulfillment of that day of Christ in the new heavens and the new earth. He moved all the words around so that when they were revealed to man, they would have total consistency of meaning and reasoning. God planned the word of God so that it would be a progressive revelation to mankind from the creation of the heavens and the earth to the creation of the NEW heavens and the NEW earth, and all that there was and is in between. The Holy Spirit moved the words so that they would be revealed to mankind to give the understanding of God and reveal the Person of God and to expose the frailties of man and how man fits into God’s program of grace through faith. No one knows how long God took in His determinate counsels to develop and perfect His plan of redemption in His Son the Lord Jesus Christ. But we know that in our time that the word of God is Supernatural and cannot be revealed to us unless the Spirit of God grabs the words off the divine screen and places the words into our hearts.
Enoch, in the seventh from Adam, shows a just man made perfect, for he was and then he was not, for God TOOK him and TRANSLATED him into the invisible realm of God’s majesty and might. Let a man examine himself whether he be in Christ or not, God examined Enoch by his walk in an evil day as the approaching judgment was soon coming upon the entire earth.
To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. (Jude 1:15)
Enoch’s prophecy AGAINST the ungodly was a mighty sword in his day, as well as in the future day when the Lord Jesus will destroy the nations of the earth. Enoch had this testimony THAT HE PLEASED GOD. Enoch’s life was given over to the Lord. He served the Lord and the Lord alone. He would neither be moved to the right nor to the left but walked a straight path with God and God alone. He was the man of Psalm 1.
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. (Psalm 1:1) But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. (Psalm 1:2) And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. (Psalm 1:3)

Enoch TESTIFIED Against the Ungodly
Enoch testified AGAINST the ungodly. In Psalm 1, we see the ungodly through verses 4 – 6. The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. (Psalm 1:4) Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. (Psalm 1:5) For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish. (Psalm 1:6)
Enoch was a CHOSEN man of God. He not only WALKED WITH God, but he WALKED FOR GOD. He was in the presence of God. He fulfilled the words of Amos, Can two walked together, except they be agreed? (Amos 3:3) As Enoch WALKED with God, God revealed the spectrum of history in the prophecy that He gave to that prophet of Genesis 5. Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. (Amos 3:7) God SHARED the future with Enoch. Enoch understood what we understand in Revelation Chapter 19, verses 6 – 8. And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. (Revelation 19:6)
Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. (Revelation 19:7) And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. (Revelation 19:8)
Prophets not only show us things to come, but they expose the things of the present as well. Undoubtedly the ungodly of the time of Enoch were upset at his prophecy because they KNEW in their hearts as God informs us in Romans Chapter 1 that they were ungodly and evil men.
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; (Romans 1:18) Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. (Romans 1:19)
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; (Romans 1:28)
Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, (Romans 1:29)
Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, (Romans 1:30)
Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: (Romans 1:31)
Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. (Romans 1:32)
When the day of Enoch’s prophecy had ended, he was translated OUT of this evil world because he bore the testimony and the walk of his faith. But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. (Hebrews 11:6) In the days of Enoch, he had given his prophecy NOT only to man, but the devil was listening as well, and the devil was stirring up his children with enmity and iniquity AGAINST the Almighty God and His prophet.
God had already looked DOWN on the children of man, for His eyes go to and fro throughout the whole earth. He saw the WALK and the WORK of ungodly men that would be fulfilled in Genesis Chapter 6. At the prophecy of Enoch, the children of the world had already passed the point of no return just as in the days of Christ when the nation of Israel refused God’s glory in the face of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God. They had passed the point of no return, and unfortunately, although GRACE is preached throughout the whole world today, the nation of Israel STILL slumbers in the darkness of this world and will not repent of what they did in condemning God’s preciousness, God’s only begotten Son, the Lord of glory, the Lord Jesus Christ. As God gave those of Genesis Chapter 6 to the judgment of His wrath in the universal flood, so Israel continues to stand in judgment by their own words, Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children. (Matthew 27:25) The point of no return had passed for Israel. They knew not the hour of their visitation. And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation. (Luke 19:44) This all came AFTER the Lord Jesus WEPT over Jerusalem, and proclaimed in Matthew 23:37, O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, [thou] that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under [her] wings, and ye would not! He sent them prophets many times, plus His own visitation throughout the history of mankind, but Israel, as a nation, had cast off THEIR Creator, for it was the Lord Jesus Christ who created the nation of Israel.
But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called [thee] by thy name; thou [art] mine. (Isaiah 43:1) Thus saith the LORD that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen. (Isaiah 44:2)
In the prophecy of Isaiah, we see the everlasting arms under the nation of Israel. Though they have rejected the Lord Himself, one day, in the future, He will woo them and they will SEE what they have done and they will repent of their evil work in the crucifixion of the Lord Jesus Christ. They will SEE Him who they had pierced, and they will WAIL as one who has lost an only son.
And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn. (Zechariah 12:10) In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon. (Zechariah 12:11)
Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. (Revelation 1:7)
And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends. (Zechariah 13:6)
So, Israel will come through the fires of judgment. In THAT day only one third (1/3) will come through the fires to receive the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. Contrary to the belief of many theologians and the churches, this world has not only been under judgment SINCE both the Jews and the Gentiles crucified the Lord of glory, but almost immediately after the universal flood the world continued its fight against God.
I do not have to delve into history for nations have come and gone in the struggle of man AGAINST God. Whole peoples have vanished from the earth because they rejected the witness of God BEFORE Christ, AT THE TIME of Christ, and in the proceeding years and millenniums have passed since the Lord Jesus Christ spoke the words, It is finished. According to the prophecy of Enoch, the ungodly will be judged: past, present and future. For in his prophecy, Enoch mentioned the ungodly FOUR times in verse 15, which is the Earth number or the number of the world. The professing Church of this day, which is the Church of imagination, and a Church of unbelief are FULL of professors, but these professors do NOT POSSESS the Spirit of Christ within.
According to Revelation Chapters 2 and 3, judgment of the ungodly WITHIN the Church, began in the Church of Ephesus. Actually, BEFORE Ephesus, in Jerusalem, when Ananias and Sapphira lied to the Holy Ghost, they BOTH perished in the judgment of the ungodly. The Lord Jesus is the JUDGE over all the earth, INCLUDING the earthly Church. He will JUDGE the ungodliness of the Church. We see the finality of THAT judgment when He vomits out of His mouth the FINAL Church OF the Laodicean ungodliness. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. (Revelation 3:16) As Enoch looked over the children of man, he saw a world totally given over to ungodliness as we see the same condition of our own world today. The prophecy of Enoch was NOT totally fulfilled and completed in his day, as I said before, his prophecy is far reaching through the history of mankind OVER ALL the ungodly.
In the future, we will see the Lord Jesus coming with ten thousands of His saints. Examine the words THOUSANDS and compare it with the same words used in Revelation 5:11, And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands. We see the saints gathered around the throne of God in worship. Thousands upon thousands . . . more than ten thousand thousands, so in the prophecy of Enoch, these are the SAME saints that worship on high, that WILL COME WITH the Lord Jesus Christ in Revelation Chapter 19. We see this great company upon THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS, UPON TEN THOUSANDS, coming with the Lord Jesus as a mighty army out of heaven to exercise judgment over ALL the ungodly.
And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. (Revelation 19:6)
Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. (Revelation 19:7)
And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. (Revelation 19:8)
And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. (Revelation 19:9)
And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. (Revelation 19:10)
And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. (Revelation 19:11)
His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. (Revelation 19:12)
And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. (Revelation 19:13)
And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. (Revelation 19:14)
And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. (Revelation 19:15)
And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. (Revelation 19:16)
And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; (Revelation 19:17)
In verse 16 of Revelation Chapter 19, we see the fulfillment of Pilate’s question, Art thou a king then? We also see the answer of the Lord Jesus, ‘To this end was I born.‘ Oh, the wonder of divine revelation as it travels through time: yesterday, today and forever. Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. (John 18:3)
At this point in time, the Lord is in judgment. The Lord Jesus will establish His kingdom on earth for a THOUSAND YEARS. The devil will be cast into the pit for that same period of a THOUSAND YEARS, and man will dwell in a world of the King of righteousness for that ONE THOUSAND YEARS. At the end, the devil will be loosed from the pit for a SHORT SEASON. At the command of their master, the old serpent, the devil, the nations of ungodly snakes will rebel AGAINST God and His Christ. We will see in finality the complete depravity of the heart, soul and spirit of man. AFTER a THOUSAND YEARS of righteousness, evil and enmity STILL exists in the hearts of man.
And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, (Revelation 20:7)
And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. (Revelation 20:8)
And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. (Revelation 20:9)
And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. (Revelation 20:10)
And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. (Revelation 20:11)
In Genesis Chapter 6 we have the full description of the ungodly in verses 5 and 12, And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. (Genesis 6:12) Enoch’s prophecy in Jude 15 and 16 also speaks of the last time, or the end times, How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. (Jude 1:18) This prophecy continues to the end of man’s existence on this planet Earth. And again, I will remind you that man by himself seeking God cannot find God UNLESS God reveals Himself to man. It is GOD REVEALING HIMSELF in the very beginning of the book of Genesis and progressively through revelation painting a portrait of Himself to man through laws, ordinances and conditions to the children of man. Genesis Chapter 6 is ONLY the beginning of the judgment of the ungodly on the worldwide stage which takes us to Revelation Chapter 19 and beyond and back to Genesis Chapter 6. It is the SAME EVIL IMAGINATION OF THE HEART that has motivated mankind with the influence of Satan throughout man’s history.

Enoch TRANSLATED From the Ungodly
Enoch was TRANSLATED because he had fulfilled all that God had him to fulfill. Enoch had finished God’s work for him and thus, he entered into God’s rest. Therefore, magnifying the number seven of Jude’s prophecy. The condition of man at the time of the universal flood was the fulfillment of the corruption of all flesh. In our day and age, we can see this defilement all around us. Men and women corrupting their own flesh in endless lascivious ways. Painting their bodies with tattoos, piercing themselves with cutting of all descriptions, and mutilating their children because they received a boy and desire a girl or received a girl and desire a boy. This is only the tip of the unseen hidden iceberg.
In the days of Noah, ALL flesh had been corrupted: men with men; women with women, men with beasts, and women with beasts; and this same bestiality still continues today. When anyone asks me, When is the coming of the Lord going to be? I respond, Any second, just observe man’s condition. The Lord described in His prophecy that at the approaching of His second coming, it will be as in the days of Noah. (Read the complete first Chapter of the book of Romans.)
We are IN the stage of the last witness of the Church Age. There is a very small remnant of Philadelphia remaining for the Laodicean ungodly have taken over the Church and brought in worldly desires of wealth and the satisfaction of the flesh. In the Laodicean Age the LAST WITNESS to the Church and to the world is the Lord Jesus Christ. He proclaims that in the last Church age that He is THE ONLY FAITHFUL AND TRUE WITNESS OF God. And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God. (Revelation 3:14) As Enoch, we are standing on the summit of history looking over the children of mankind. We see all the ungodly and their works, and their ungodly and hard speeches that they have spoken AGAINST our God, the Lord Jesus Christ. The faith of Enoch is confirmed in Hebrews 11:5 and 6 to remind us what TRUE FAITH REQUIRES.
It was Enoch’s faith that could look to the very end of God’s purpose in Jesus Christ. The evil imagination of man’s heart was what God saw from on high. The corruptness of ALL flesh was what He saw, and He repented Himself that He had ever made man because it was man who corrupted ALL flesh. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. (Genesis 6:6) As He looks down today, He see the SAME evil hearts full of all manners of iniquity, although He has given His word as a two-edged sword to separate man from his sin in His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, man STILL rejects the word of God.
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12) Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. (Hebrews 4:13)
When satanic darkness rolls in as a silent flood at night, man loses all understanding, he becomes as a beast that can only be bridled by the judgment of God. Enoch was a righteous man who was made righteous in the more excellent sacrifice. He was taken OUT of this world because of the evil to come. The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come. (Isaiah 57:1) As Enoch was taken or translated, so we, the children of God, are on the verge of our own translation of the Body of Christ (which is HIS CHURCH).
That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing. (1st Thessalonians 4:12)
But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. (1st Thessalonians 4:13)
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. (1st Thessalonians 4:14)
For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. (1st Thessalonians 4:15)
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: (1st Thessalonians 4:16)
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. (1st Thessalonians 4:17) Wherefore comfort one another with these words. (1st Thessalonians 4:18)
In 1st Thessalonians 4:12, we have a comparison of the walk of Enoch. This comes prior to God telling us of our own translation, or in the case of the dead: resurrection. We are WAITING for our turn to come. As Enoch was taken OUT before the complete darkness of man, as our world enters into the darkness of world judgment, God will take us OUT and spare us for we KNOW, and we have SEEN a great falling away of the truth. We are approaching its completeness. 2nd Thessalonians 2:3 and 4.
● Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; (2nd Thessalonians 2:3) Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. (2nd Thessalonians 2:4)
● And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. (2nd Thessalonians 2:6)
In a few words the Lord takes us from the Wicked One being revealed to the destroying of that Wicked One with the Spirit of His mouth. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: (2nd Thessalonians 2:8) And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. (Revelation 19:15)
The word that upholdeth all things . . . Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; (Hebrews 1:3). . . will judge the nations and The Beast of darkness by the Word of His power.
And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. (Revelation 19:19)
And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. (Revelation 19:20)
And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh. (Revelation 19:21)
Here is another step of Enoch’s far reaching prophecy on the ungodly, And who is sufficient for these things? Only the ONE who sits upon the white horse, who is Faithful and True, the True Witness of God and The Beginning of the Creation of God, ONLY Christ is sufficient for ALL things. (Revelation 3:13) As Enoch heard the hard speeches AGAINST His God, so also the world has taken on the rebellious spirit of Lucifer as the WAR in heaven ended; therefore, the WAR of good and evil will also come to an end. As the WAR of good and evil began on earth at the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, every evil will be accounted for. As Noah preached righteousness to a world MAD with sin, we see in our age, even after man has had the enlightenment of the fullness of time in God’s dear Son, we see that same MADNESS and INSANITY engulfing our world.
Side Note: What I am about to write is based on mere conjecture AND probabilities. I do not claim any political reasonings to be factual . . . they are merely suppositions . . with very strong probabilities. I’m NOT a political man, but I witness against the political world. I just witnessed the game plan of evil, the evil political system of the United States government in their attempt to assassinate President Trump. They used the same game plan that they used against JFK. No one asks this question, Who had the most to gain by the death of President Kennedy? Only one had the most to gain, it is LBJ, who (as a Senator) was head of the Armed Forces Committee.
When President Kennedy left Washington, D.C. on November 22, 1963, the whole game plan had already been set. The route that President Kennedy was to take had been CHANGED by his own Secret Service at the orders of ‘a higher-up.’ He was placed in an open vehicle WITHOUT the Vice-President beside him. Kennedy was led as a lamb to the slaughter BY his own government. Knowing the history and the men around LBJ, I am convinced that LBJ planned and conspired with others to carry our that vicious assassination game plan.
Man is a creature of habit. They tried the SAME game with the attempted assassination of President Trump. They CHANGED his Secret Service detail, and sent the most loyal people on furlough. I ask the question, Who would benefit most from Trump’s assassination? The current tyranny that rules Washington and the United States is the benefactor. The GLOBAL money power brokers of men of renown ALL benefit. (Does that sound too generic? Well, it is universal because President Trump’s fight is against the Democrat and the Republican (Uniparty) power structure in Washington, D.C. His fight is against the news manipulators and the propagandists, his fight is against ALL who advocate the destruction of the United States of America.) Any loyal Secret Service agent to the Constitution would have an eagle’s view of the entire situation. Any elevated position ABOVE the podium of President Donald J. Trump would have a clear unobstructed view of the podium would have a SS agent or more on THAT roof and/or tower. We live in the day of drones, and yet on THAT day there were none in the air. As Oswald, and Sirhan Sirhan, and John Hinckley Jr., the planners had a chump to take the fall.
With JFK there were reports of THREE shooters from the ‘grassy knoll’ by citizens who actually heard the shots and who were there at the scene. However, contrary to the government news bastions of truth, there was only one person with a ‘magic bullet’ that struck President Kennedy several times and then hit Texas Governor John Connally many times as it circled back and forth in the car. Just reading the governments explanation of how that ONE SINGLE fast-moving bullet could turn like a cat catching ten different birds at ten different heights at the same time is an amazing read of imaginative gullibility.
There were also many unexplainable deaths during and after November 22 that were strangely connected. And even two years later, this ‘strangeness’ continued. Dorothy Kilgallen died ‘under ‘strange’ circumstances as she was supposedly concluding her investigation into what she believed to be a planned coup and conspiracy.
Everything so easily and quickly performed and accomplished HAD to be a coincidence. Efficiency is not usually a government trait, that is why the thought that the government did not act alone is strongly held by many. But in THAT day, the f-bee-eye was also in charge of the investigation, and J. Edgar Hoover was silenced by the government of LBJ. Also, the news media THEN and at that time could be considered the mother of our FAKE news today. They were also a complicite news media. In the case of JFK, the news media quickly fabricated ALL kinds of assassination theories to confuse the minds of the American people.
What about the paraffin and gunpowder tests on Oswald? Scores of testing facilities were used and up to this time the tests and testing authorities disagree: some discredit that Oswald fired a rifle, others question whether it was a gun or a rifle that left residue on his cheek, and even some testing facilities refute that residue existed, others challenged the time element for shooting because of the strength or lack of strength of any residue. Confusion upon confusion. The perfect outcome of any conspiracy is confusion.
At Butler, PA, was there another ‘magic bullet’ as the ‘magic bullet’ at Dallas, that did not originate from the scape goat’s weapon? Look at what the men and women of tyranny have done in the last eight years to achieve power: FAKE election, FAKE ballots, FAKE voters, FAKE polls, FAKE president, FAKE news, FAKE war (although thousands have died on both sides, the FAKENESS is due to how this war has been reported and how it has been enhanced by Hollywood war scene techniques with FAKE pictures, and let us not forget FAKE stories about the war by FAKE reporters ).
Speaking about FAKENESS, remember the ‘Russia, Russia conspiracy.’ How about the many indictments against President Trump based on, wait for it . . . FAKED facts. Then the FAKE report of the computers at the Democrat Party headquarters being hacked by Russia. It is interesting that the Democrat Headquarters refused to allow the f-bee-eye to come in and investigate the supposedly foreign hacking of their precious computers . . . which leads us to the strange death of Seth Rich.
Then we have the FAKE conspiracy of Trump’s phone call to the Ukraine, and the riots and burnings of the Communist organization of Antifa and Black Lives Matter, all sponsored and financed by the Democrat Party and the oligarchs of big money. Our government is supposed to be ‘We the People,’ however, it has become, “We the tyrannical government.’ Remember when a chosen, NOT elected delusional, demented FAKE president THREATENED the people with the full military power of his f-16’s. This is NO joke, or don’t you remember that threatening speech to frighten any opposition to the tyranny in power. These UNIPARTY/GLOBAL sick monsters will do anything and everything including locking up United States citizens in order to maintain their power. We also had a man-made plague (FAKE origin) that was spread all over the world with FAKE statistics to attempt to overthrow President Trump, and then they nullified the vote of 2020 by the multitude of their agents working in various states. This was the largest conspiracy that the United States had ever experienced. It could be the largest conspiracy that the world had ever seen because many foreign governments were also involved. And because this ballot coup worked so well, the ungodly are about to repeat their coup in 2024. We should remind ourselves that God is over all, and an ungodly nation and an ungodly world gets what it deserves. The ungodly U.S.A. and the ungodly world are in for a very rough road because of God’s judgment. End of Side Note: Political speculation.
The ungodly live and act on their ungodly principles (which are not principles, for they have neither principles nor values outside their Marxist domination values, therefore, their actions are based on their believing that they are gods.) They repeat their ungodliness because of their past successes. If murder and assassination are not off the table, just imagine that even nuclear war is not off the table. They are depraved despots in dangerous and desperate times. Only God has deterred these insane evil men AND women of our unelected government. It was God’s hand that turned President Trump’s head. God was showing us what true FREEDOM costs. President Trump is our ‘Wallace’ of Braveheart. President Trump has his roots in the heather of the highlands of Scotland, (as do I.)
We live in a specific time in God’s purpose. He is still in the business of raising up kings and setting down kings; of blessing nations and destroying nations for their evil. All nations before him are as nothing; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity. (Isaiah 40:17) Enoch was a man of God’s purpose in an evil day. His message speaks to our past, our present and our future. It loudly speaks to the ungodly who are full of all ungodliness. One day, Enoch will come with those ten thousands of saints, with the Lord Jesus Christ when Christ will execute judgment upon ALL who are ungodly among the world. They will be JUDGED for their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed and ALL their ungodly speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken AGAINST God.

Enoch PROPHESIED Against the Ungodly
For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. (Jude 1:4)
To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard [speeches] which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. (Jude 1:15)
How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. (Jude 1:18)
In Jude 15 the Holy Spirit teaches a lot about the ungodly. Six (6) times the word ungodly is mentioned in the book of Jude. And, of course, six is the number of sinful man. The first thing that we see in verse 5 is that the ungodly have to be CONVINCED of all their ungodliness. They deny their ungodliness through a facade proclaiming their own goodness in their own eyes while God condemns that goodness as a evil mirage. There is none good, no not one. Since Enoch mentioned the ungodly four times in verse 15 we see the evil of the ungodly spread over the world and through the six mentions the hidden message in the numbers six cannot be dismissed. MAN IS UNGODLY. MAN HAS ALWAYS BEEN AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE UNGODLY.
In Enoch’s second point in verse 15 is that their DEEDS are ungodly. Scripture (throughout the history of man) reveals ALL the ungodliness of man from Cain and Abel to The Beast in Revelation Chapter 13. It was their DEEDS of unrighteousness, their unrighteous WALK, their unrighteous LIES and ungodly WORDS AGAINST the truth that the prophet Enoch battled against. Enoch then informs us in the third mention of the word ungodly that not only do they COMMIT ungodly DEEDS, but ungodliness is in ALL their THOUGHTS. Then lastly, the ungodly ATTACK the Almighty God in their hard speeches AGAINST Him. They also veil their ATTACKS by the smoke and mirrors of religion, philosophies, and even the cult of patriotism. Nevertheless, their judgment has been set AGAINST them.
In the epistle of Jude, he mentioned the ungodly one more time, and this corresponds to the four mentions in verse 5. This mention of the ungodly takes place in verse 4, again the number of the world, the Earth number. For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. (Jude 1:4) We find that ungodly men, men of that number four, men of the world, had crept into the Church unaware, coming in with guile to overthrow the things of God, and thus, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness bringing in all manner of lusts: lusts of the world, and lust of the flesh. And yes, these men still exist today. These ungodly men and women are running the political structure of the world-wide counterfeit Church. They have turned from faith and grace by DENYING the ONLY LORD GOD and our Lord Jesus Christ. They have turned away from the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. They embrace man-made religion raising up their own deities and men of renown to take the place of the blessed One, the Lord of glory, the LORD Jesus Christ.
The message of Jude surrounds an ungodly world, and an ungodly Church, and ungodly men, and yet, in the very last verses their ungodliness is so dreadful and evil that men are plucked out of the fires of hell where even their garments are blackened by the fire. And of some have compassion, making a difference: (Jude 1:22) And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. (Jude 1:23) We live IN THAT TIME. The ungodly turn their backs on grace, not knowing their end will be in the lake of fire. Yet, we cry with the trumpet of the compassionate gospel to man to repent and open their hearts to the GRACE of the Lord Jesus Christ through FAITH. In Jude 4 we also see these ungodly men had their roots in times past; thus showing that their master, their father was and is the devil himself. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. (John 8:44)
He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. (1st John 3:8)
Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous. (1st John 3:12)
Six times in the book of Jude the UNGODLY are condemned by the very grace that they refused. God will bring them to accountability at the great white throne judgment. In verse 23 of the book of Jude, we have the compassion of the children of grace reaching out to the lost and pulling them out of the fires. And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. This also speaks of the last times for evil shall abound, and fewer and fewer souls will be brought into the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. Jude tells us that in the last days they will deny our Lord Jesus Christ. These men of renown, these anti-Christs have been extremely successful in diluting the written word of God through their many translations and refusing the one book given by the Spirit of God with God’s seal upon it what is called the King James Bible, but God calls it, the word of God. In Jude 4 the Lord Jesus Christ is denied and therefore they deny the DOCTRINE of Christ. 2nd John gives us the meaning of the doctrine of Christ.
For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. (2nd John 1:7)
Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. (2nd John 1:8)
Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. (2nd John 1:9)
If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: (2nd John 1:10)
For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds. (2nd John 1:11)
Because of these ungodly men and the system of the worldly Church the true doctrine of Christ has been hidden from mankind by their lies. The Lord Jesus told us by His own words that He was IN the Father, and the Father was IN Him that HE was ONE with the Father, and that He would send to His disciples HIS OWN SPIRIT to comfort them. The word of God tells us that as HE is ONE with the Father, the Father has SENT the Spirit of His Son INTO our hearts, crying, Abba, Father. And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. (Galatians 4:6) Christ as the manifestation of the invisible God (explained to the woman of Samaria in Chapter 4 of the gospel of John) that GOD IS SPIRIT, and yet, this was God explaining Himself to this woman. God was IN Christ reconciling the world unto Himself. Christ was the FULLNESS of the Godhead bodily. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. (Colossians 2:9) Christ is the EXPRESS image of the invisible God as well as the brightness of the Shechinah/Shekinah glory of God. Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high. (Hebrews 1:3) It was THIS glory in the face of Jesus Christ that appeared to Abraham when he was in Ur of Chaldees in Mesopotamia. (Acts 7:2) And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken; The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran. It was THIS glory that the children of Israel looked upon and FEARED as Moses not only beheld God’s glory, but watched as His glory passed by him, and saw His hinder parts. CLICK HERE for more about the glory of God in Exodus Chapter 33.
And the LORD said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name. (Exodus 33:17)
And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory. (Exodus 33:18)
And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy. (Exodus 33:19)
And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live. (Exodus 33:20)
And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock: (Exodus 33:21)
And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by: (Exodus 33:22)
And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen. (Exodus 33:23)
This was the SAME GLORY that filled the Tabernacle and filled the Temple of Solomon, God desiring, in His glory, to dwell amongst man. Then to fill up the doctrine of Christ, He was transfigured before Peter, James and John and HIS GLORY was revealed. This was to clarify not only His Sonship as the ONLY begotten of God, but to reveal the FULLNESS of the Godhead bodily WITHIN Him: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. We see three (3) personalities: God the Father. God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost. (The term ‘the Holy Spirit’ is the fullness of the Spirit of God. The term ‘the Holy Ghost‘ is the personality of that Spirit manifesting Himself to man in signs, wonders and gifts of the Holy Ghost.) There has been too much said and too much written comparing the Lord Jesus with man or humanity. Christ was NOT a child or descendant of Adam. His birth was COMPLETELY separated from the natural course of mankind. He was NOT conceived in sin, for there was NO sin IN Him. He was conceived by the Holy Ghost.
● Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. (Matthew 1:18)
● But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. (Matthew 1:20)
● And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. (Luke 1:35)
He is called ‘that holy thing,’ ‘the holy child,‘ and ‘the Holy One.‘ There was NO mixing of the Adamic race from Mary to that holy seed. Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. (Galatians 3:16) This next statement will probably shock you: as He laid in the TOMB of the corrupt earth He maintained His purity to His resurrection. As He was conceived IN the WOMB of Mary, He maintained His purity to His birth and beyond. This was NOT MAN made into God, but it was God in the likeness of flesh. No matter how much mud ungodly men and women throw at the purity and deity of the Lord Jesus Christ NOTHING can or will stick.
The doctrine of Christ surrounds the entire GODHEAD. Within the doctrine of Christ, we see the FULLNESS of the seven spirits of God. We see the purity of the Throne Sitter in heaven, and we see His Majesty in His very lowliness among man. His total personality as the Son of God showed that He is the ONLY King deserved to be called King for He is the ultimate Justifier, the ultimate Redeemer, the ultimate Priest of compassion, and the ultimate power of righteousness. For too long, Bible critics and critics of the Son of God have gotten away with speaking evil words and performing ungodly actions AGAINST the Son of God. How they get away with these heresies is because there is a lack of the truth of the word of God. And sinners on Sunday love to have it that way, for they leave their churches with no conviction, and no aching hearts because of their sin. They merely go their way in a world of sin ENJOYING whatever sin provides for them. There is only going to be a FEW in these last days who will be pulled out of the fire. However, they can only be pulled out of the fire by truth and through the work of the Holy Ghost. Here are some Scriptures to prayerfully consider.
● In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: (Colossians 1:14) Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: (Colossians 1:15)
● Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. (Colossians 2:8) For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. (Colossians 2:9) And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: (Colossians 2:10)
● Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? (John 14:9) Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. (John 14:10)
● Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake. (John 14:11)
● For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. (Jude 1:4)
● For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens. (Hebrews 7:26)
Amen and Selah.
