Enoch continued to grow more heavenly while communing with God. His face was radiant with a holy light which would remain upon his countenance while instructing those who would hear his words of wisdom. His heavenly and dignified appearance struck the people with awe. The Lord loved Enoch because he steadfastly followed him, and abhorred iniquity, and earnestly sought heavenly knowledge that he might do his will perfectly. He yearned to unite himself still more closely to God, whom he feared, reverenced, and adored. God would not permit Enoch to die as other men, but sent his angels to take him to Heaven without seeing death. In the presence of the righteous and the wicked, Enoch was removed from them. Those who loved him thought that God might have left him in some of his places of retirement; but after seeking him diligently, and being unable to find him, reported that he was not, for God took him. {1SP 63.1}

(63) Enok vedblev at blive mere himmelsk medens han samtalede med Gud. Hans ansigt strålede af et helligt lys som hvilede på hans åsyn medens han underviste dem som ville lytte til hans visdoms ord. Hans himmelske og ærværdige udseende slog folket med forbavselse. Herren elskede Enok fordi han fulgte ham stadig, og afskyede ugudelighed, og oprigtig søgte himmelsk kundskab for at han kunne udrette hans vilje mere fuldkommen. Han længtes efter at forenes endnu inderligere med Gud, som han frygtede, ærede og tilbad. Gud ville ikke tillade Enok at dø ligesom andre mennesker, men sendte sine engle for at tage ham til himmelen uden at smage døden. I de retfærdiges og de ugudeliges nærværelse blev Enok borttaget fra dem. De som elskede ham tænkte at Gud havde ført ham til et af hans lønlige steder; men efter at de havde søgt ham med flid, og ikke var i stand til at finde ham, fortalte de at han var ikke, thi Gud tog ham.
