Three strange things in connection with Enoch's history:

(1)  That so little is said about him;

(2)  the comparative shortness of his stay on earth;

(3)  the manifest singularity of the life he lived.

I. HE TAUGHT THE WORLD BY HIS LIFE.

1. "He walked with God."

2. "He had the testimony that he pleased God."

II. HE TAUGHT THE WORLD BY HIS TRANSLATION.

1. That death is not a necessity of human nature.

2. That there is a sphere of human existence beyond this.

3. That there is a God in the universe who approves of goodness.

4. That the mastering of sin is the way to a grand destiny.

III. HE TAUGHT THE WORLD BY HIS PREACHING (Jude 1:14, 15).

(1)  The advent of the Judge.

(2)  The gathering of the saints.

(3)  The conversion of sinners.

(Homilist.)
