With that Scriptura reasoning in mind, then, let us try to imagine how Enoch's life might have ended. Picture this scenario, remembering taht it is only one possibility. Enoch was on the run, nearing exhaustion. His persecutors were after him, seething with rage over his judgment message. (Because they were and it is how it happened.) Enoch found a place to hide and rest for awhile, but he knew that he could escape for long. A violent death loomed very near now. As he rested, he prayed to his God. Than a profound sense of peace came upon him. A vision, as vivid as if Enoch were really there, took him far away.
Imagine that a view opened before him, showing a world wholly different from the one he knew. It seemed to him that it was as beautiful as the garden of Eden, but there were no cherubs guarding it to keep humans out. Men and women -all full of health and youthful vigor-were numerous. Peace reigned among them. There was no trace of the hatred and religious persecution that Enoch knew only too well. As for himself, Enoch sensed Jehovah' assurance, love, approval. He felt sure that this place where was where he belonged; it would be his own home. As peace stole over him, Enoch closed his eyes and drifted into a deep dreamless sleep.
