📚 Historical Context
In the Book of Genesis, Enoch is described as the seventh generation from Adam and a man who walked faithfully with God, being taken directly to heaven without dying. The Apostle Jude, in his letter written in the first century AD to warn early Christians about false teachers and moral corruption, quotes from an ancient prophecy attributed to Enoch about the Lord's return with thousands of his saints. This reference draws from Jewish apocalyptic traditions, emphasizing God's impending judgment on the ungodly.
