Intro: A look at the crown of Christ; A picture of God’s sovereign plan for the coming future. Enoch is a type of rapture; The Rapture of the Church foreshadowed.

I. The days of Enoch, see Genesis 5:21-24.
A. He lived in days of indifference; see Genesis 4:13-15. God gave 2^nd chance to Cain. Cain leaves the presence of God; see Genesis 4:16-17.
B. He lived in days of immorality/infidelity; see Genesis 4:19.
C. He lived in days of industry; see Genesis 4:20-22.
D. He lived in days of insolence; see Genesis 4:23-24.

II. The dedication of Enoch. Enoch lived righteously; Enoch walks with God.
A. His walk with God was based on revelation of God; see Genesis 5:21-22. Enoch’s life to age 65 was a normal life then God gave him a spiritual revelation.
B. And after…His walk with God was pleasing to God; see Genesis 5:24. Adam and Enoch were contemporaries.

III. The disappearance of Enoch.
A. His departure was preceded by faith; see 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17.
B. His departure was preceded by preaching; see Jude 14-15.

Personal Application:
1. God wants us to understand there were mockers then; see 2 Peter 3:3-7. Just as there will be mockers in the Last Days; see 2 Peter 3:11-15.
2. No one has faith until God has spoken.
3. A Christian life is a marathon; knowing and believing God’s revelation.
4. What if Christ raptures the Church today?
5. You can respond today!
