Enoch
A descendant of Seth known for his faithful walk with God and his unique departure from the earth.
Enoch was the son of Jared and the father of Methuselah, distinguished in Genesis 5 for walking faithfully with God for 300 years. Unlike other patriarchs, he did not die, as God took him directly into His presence. The New Testament highlights his faith and his role as a prophet who warned of divine judgment against the ungodly.
