Who Walked with God and Never Died?

Published in Biblical Figures 1 min read

Enoch walked with God and never died; he was taken directly by God.

Enoch's story is found in the Book of Genesis in the Bible. He is described as having "walked with God" for 300 years after the birth of his son Methuselah, and then "he was not, for God took him" (Genesis 5:24). This passage is understood to mean that Enoch did not experience death, but was instead transported directly to God.

The New Testament also references Enoch. Hebrews 11:5 states, "By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death; 'he could not be found, because God had taken him.' For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God."

Therefore, the answer is Enoch.
