In a way, his death is even more mysterious and intriguing than his life. The Genesis account simply says: “Enoch kept walking with the true God. Then he was no more, for God took him.” (Genesis 5:24) In what way did God take Enoch? The apostle Paul later explained: “By faith Enoch was transferred so as not to see death, and he was nowhere to be found because God had transferred him; for before he was transferred he received the witness that he had pleased God well.” (Hebrews 11:5) What did Paul mean by that phrase “transferred so as not to see death”? Some Bible translations say that God took Enoch to heaven. But that cannot be. The Bible shows that Jesus Christ was the first one ever resurrected to heaven.​—John 3:13.

In what sense, then, was Enoch “transferred” so that he did not “see death”? God likely transferred Enoch gently from life to death, sparing him any pangs of death.
Thereafter, his enemies may have searched for the body, but it was “nowhere to be found,” perhaps because God disposed of it, preventing them from desecrating it or using it to promote false religion.

It seems that God transferred Enoch gently from life to death without his being aware that he was dying.
God did not permit the opposers to kill Enoch. Instead, Jehovah took him, that is, cut short his life at the age of 365, an age far below that of most of his contemporaries.

Enoch was transferred so as not to see death, which may mean that God put him in a prophetic trance and then terminated Enoch’s life while he was in the trance so that he did not experience the pangs of death.

However, he was not taken to heaven, in view of Jesus’ clear statement at John 3:13 "Moreover, no man has ascended into heaven but the one who descended from heaven, the Son of man.

It appears that, as in the case of Moses’ body, Jehovah disposed of Enoch’s body, for he was nowhere to be found.
Evidently, Jehovah transferred Enoch from the land of the living to the sleep of death before opposers could lay hold of him.

The Book of Enoch: Chapter 2

1. Behold, he comes with ten thousands of his saints, to execute judgment upon them, and destroy the wicked, and reprove all the carnal for everything which the sinful and ungodly have done, and committed against him.

This should help



Hebrews 11:5 KJV — 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.


God also translated John so that he never died.


Revelation 4:1 KJV — After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.

Yes, in Hebrews chapter 11 tells us about Enoch.

(Hebrews 11:5) 5 By faith Eʹnoch was transferred so as not to see death, and he was nowhere to be found because God had transferred him; . . .

Many misinterpret this to say, Enoch didn't die.

What these people fail to do, is continue reading the context of chapter 11.

(Hebrews 11:13) 13 In faith all of these died, although they did not receive the fulfillment of the promises; . . .

You will notice, Enoch is included in the 'all of these died'.

Enoch is also included to be among those who 'did not receive the fulfillment of the promises.'

So not only did Enoch die, but he wasn't taken to heaven, because he hadn't received the fulfillment of the promises.

Religion 101

Every men sinner or not will die, there is no exception. This is a preordainment, a heavenly decree.

Please read Hebrews 11
After listing many Godly people including Enoch we read the statement ;" these all died."
When it says that Enoch did not see death it might mean the global death during the flood which was soon after Enoch disappeard.

Enoch was an imperfect man. From his forefather Adam, he had inherited sin and death. “Through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin,” wrote the apostle Paul, “and thus death spread to all men because they had all sinned.” (Rom. 5:12) Moreover, Jesus Christ declared: “No man has ascended into heaven but he that descended from heaven, the Son of man.” (John 3:13) Hence, Enoch died, but God did not take him to heaven.
Instead, “God took him” by removing Enoch from the scene in a peaceful death when this faithful prophet was 365 years old. (Gen. 5:23, 24) That was far below the life-span of most of his contemporaries. Enoch did not die a violent death at the hands of his persecutors. Nor is there any Scriptural indication that he suffered the effects of failing health that so often leads to death. Therefore, Enoch apparently did not experience the pangs of death. In such case, he did not “see death” in that he was not aware of dying.
After this courageous prophet died in some undisclosed place, Jehovah disposed of his body in secret, even as was the case later with Moses’ body. (Deut. 34:5-7) Enoch’s foes never were able to find his body and subject it to any abuse.
ENOCH’S ‘TRANSFERENCE’
In some way, then, “Enoch was transferred so as not to see death” after “he had the witness that he had pleased God well.” (Heb. 11:5) The Greek word here rendered “transferred” means “transfer,” “transport” or “change the place of.” It is suggestive of what happened to the apostle Paul, who was transferred or caught away “to the third heaven,” or “into paradise.” In that state Paul apparently received from God a vision of the future spiritual paradise of the Christian congregation.—2 Cor. 12:1-4.
Since Enoch was a prophet, possibly God “took” him while Enoch was in a similar state of rapture. Jehovah may have put him to sleep in death while Enoch was in a prophetic trance, enjoying a vision of the paradise of God’s new order wherein Jehovah “will actually swallow up death forever.” (Isa. 25:8) In Enoch’s case, the resurrection from the dead may bring with it a transition from enthralling vision to marvelous reality.—Acts 24:15.

In what sense, then, was Enoch “transferred” so that he did not “see death”? Jehovah likely transferred Enoch gently from life to death, sparing him any pangs of death. But first, Enoch received “the witness that he had pleased God well.” How? Just before his death, Enoch may have received a vision from God, perhaps one showing him the earth as a paradise. With that vivid sign of Jehovah’s approval, Enoch fell asleep in death. Writing about Enoch and other faithful men and women, the apostle Paul stated: “In faith all of these died.” (Hebrews 11:13) Thereafter, his enemies may have searched for the body, but it was “nowhere to be found,” perhaps because Jehovah disposed of it, preventing them from desecrating it or using it to promote false religion.
