| A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
And Enoch walked with God--a common phrase in Eastern countries denoting constant and familiar intercourse.
was not; for God took him--In Heb 11:5, we are informed that he was translated to heaven--a mighty miracle, designed to effect what ordinary means of instruction had failed to accomplish, gave a palpable proof to an age of almost universal unbelief that the doctrines which he had taught (Jde 1:14-15) were true and that his devotedness to the cause of God and righteousness in the midst of opposition was highly pleasing to the mind of God. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| He was not, for God took him - That is, as it is explained, Heb 11:5, he was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him. But why did God take him so soon? Surely because the world, which was now grown corrupt, was not worthy of him. Because his work was done, and done the sooner for his minding it so closely. He was not, for God took him - He was not any longer in this world: it was not the period of his being, but of his being here. He was not found; so the apostle explains it from the seventy; not found by his friends, who sought him, as the sons of the prophets sought Elijah, Kg2 2:17. God took him body and soul to himself in the heavenly paradise, by the ministry of angels, as afterwards he took Elijah. He was changed, as those saints shall be that will be found alive at Christ's second coming. |

15 To execute [4160] judgment [2920] upon [2596] all [3956], and [2532] to convince [1827] all [3956] that are ungodly [765] among them [846] of [4012] all [3956] their [846] ungodly [763] deeds [2041] which [3739] they have ungodly committed [764], and [2532] of [4012] all [3956] their hard [4642] speeches which [3739] ungodly [765] sinners [268] have spoken [2980] against [2596] him [846].
