Enoch and Enosh and Their Correspondence to the
Christian Saints
Enoch is the most outstanding character in Bible history before
the flood and the birth of Noah. The Scriptures introduce him as
a prophet and God's representative to the ancient world. The
disciple Jude, the brother of James, wrote about him:
14
Yes, the seventh one [in line] from Adam, Enoch, prophesied also
regarding them, when he said: “Look! The Lord came with his holy
myriads, 15 to execute judgment against all,
and to convict all the ungodly concerning all their ungodly
deeds that they did in an ungodly way, and concerning all the
shocking things that ungodly sinners spoke against him. (Jude
14, 15.)
As is clear from this passage, Enoch was "the seventh from
Adam." The records of Genesis and Luke allow us to establish his
birth year:
1. Adam (4027/4026BC)
2. Seth (3897/3896 BC), 130 years after Adam.
3. Enosh (3792/3791 BC), 105 years after Seth.
4. Kenan (3702/3701 BC), 90 years after Enosh.
5. Mahalalel (3632/3631 BC), 70 years after Kenan.
6. Jared (3567/3561 BC), 65 years after Mahalalel.
7. Enoch (3405/3404 BC), 162 years after Jared.
Enoch was born sometime within the year which began in fall 3405
BC and died in the summer of 3404 BC, 622 years after the
creation of Adam. If the Jewish tradition is right that he was
born in spring, then his birth occurred 622.5 years after the
first year of Adam.
When Enoch was born, Adam was still alive. In fact, specifically
when he began his prophetic work, Adam was 687 years old. Enoch
disappeared from the earth in the year 3040/3039 BC at the age
of 365 years, something that reminds us of the duration of a
solar year. At that time Adam was already dead for 57 years, and
Noah was born 68 years after that.
21
And Enoch lived on for sixty-five years. Then he became father
to Methuselah. 22 And after his fathering
Methuselah Enoch went on walking with the [true] God three
hundred years. Meanwhile he became father to sons and daughters.
23 So all the days of Enoch amounted to three
hundred and sixty-five years. 24 And Enoch
kept walking with the [true] God. Then he was no more, for God
took him. (Genesis 5:21-24).
Every prophet mentioned in the Bible is a model or type for
faithful witnesses of God in modern times. Enoch is no
exception, especially because the Scriptures said that "he
continued to walk with the true God." They say the same of Noah,
so Noah, as a survivor of the Flood also represents a faithful
witness of God who survives the end of this system of things.
Enoch and the time of Enosh
Enosh was born in 3792BC, 205 years after the fall of 3997BC
when Adam turned 30 and became fully responsible for his
actions. This detail is significant because the Abrahamic
Covenant was inaugurated when Abraham's father died, aged 205
years in 1943BC. This is 2050 years (ten times 205 years) after
the start of the Exedenic Times.
Although initially we might have the impression that there is no
relationship between these events, the key that the Bible
provides is Enosh.
26
And to Seth also there was born a son and he proceeded to call
his name Enosh. At that time a start was made of calling on the
name of YHWH. (Genesis 4:26).
Enosh means "mortal man" and the Scriptures say that in his days
" a start was made of calling on the name of YHWH ". This can
have 2 applications:
In a literal meaning we are told that between his birth in
autumn 3792 BC, and his death in 2887 BC, idolatry and forms of
worship which were inconsistent with the model established by
God began. Note that Enoch lived in the middle of that period,
and he loved and worshipped YHWH in the right way.
In
a symbolic meaning, the time of the life of Enoch can represent
a future period of time in which humans ‘call upon the name of
the Lord’ in an acceptable manner.
Can we draw a parallel between the 905 year period of the life
of Enosh and the 3950 yaers of the Abrahamic Covenant?
Just as we find the start of the testimony of spiritual Israel
in the centre of the 3950 years of the Abrahamic Covenant, we
also find the beginning of the prophetic activity of Enoch
(Michael) in the period of Enosh’s life that lasted 905 years.
If we move 452.5 years forward from the autumn of 3792BC, we
arrive at the spring of 3339BC, exactly 300 years before the
transfer of Enoch. These are precisely the 300 years of Enoch
prophesying as stated in Genesis 5:22-24…
22
And after his fathering Me·thu´se·lah E´noch went on walking
with the [true] God three hundred years. Meanwhile he became
father to sons and daughters. 23 So all the
days of E´noch amounted to three hundred and sixty-five years.
24 And Enoch kept walking with the [true] God.
Then he was no more, for God took him.
This is a perfect match. Enoch represents the class of the 1NC
saints, Jesus’ flesh, and both Enoch and spiritual Israel began
their service in the middle of a period determined by God. This
can be no coincidence and harmonizes well with the Midst
Prophecy.
If we look at all the Bible passages relating to the invocation
of the name of YHWH, we will see that this phrase reappears in
Joel 2:32. This ties in neatly with Pentecost 33AD, the birth of
a congregation of prophets.
In his speech to the Jews, Peter is making it clear that the
fulfilment of Joel’s prophecy had begun. Note that he says…
21
And everyone who calls on the name of YHWH will be saved.” (Acts
2:21 .)
Enoch and chronological model of Sanctuary
This is one of the most amazing discoveries that I made trying
to understand biblical chronology.
The chronological model of the sanctuary shows that the entire
history of man, since the creation of Adam until the coming of
the Kingdom of God, is covered in a period of 6037.5 years.
This period is represented by the measurements of the tabernacle
and the Holy and Most Holy in the temple. The length of the Holy
is double that of the “Most Holy”
The Holy corresponds with the first 2 thirds of 6037.5 years,
i.e. 4025 years. The Most Holy is the last third, i.e. 2012.5
years.
The first period begins in autumn of 4027BC, with the creation
of Adam and ends in autumn 2 AD, with the first year of the
human body of Jesus/Immanuel. The second period begins then and
last to spring 2012, when the Kingdom of God finally takes over
complete control.
Consistent with this model, the "flesh" of Jesus, which became
evident at his birth, represents the curtain that divided the
two compartments...
19
Therefore, brothers, since we have boldness for the way of
entry into the holy place by the blood of Jesus, 20
which he inaugurated for us as a new and living way through the
curtain, that is, his flesh. (Hebrews 10:19, 20.)
The inauguration of Solomon’s temple in autumn 1027BC, exactly
3000 years after the creation of Adam serves, as a column of
support for this idea. In fact, Adam was represented by this
first temple, so there is a parallel between the events of
4027-3993BC and the events of 1027-993BC (when the kingdom was
torn in two).
The second temple was inaugurated at the midpoint of the period
of 1025 years between the inauguration of the first temple and
the appearance of Jesus/Immanuel as human. This takes us to
spring 514BC. This second temple apparently represented Jesus.
I need this as a basis to demonstrate certain symmetry. Enoch
was transferred 2012.5 years before the inauguration of
Solomon’s temple.
The reconstruction of the chronology shows that Enoch is
transferred sometime between autumn 3040BC and summer 3039BC. If
we focus in spring 3039BC, we see that there are 2012.5 years
until the autumn of 1027BC, inauguration date!
This in turn allows us to determine that there are 5050 years
since the spring of 3039BC and the spring of 2012AD. Jewish
tradition has it (and it is likely from the parallel to the
Christian church) that Enoch has been transferred on the day of
Pentecost, so we're talking about 5050 years ranging from
Pentecost up to Pentecost.
It is an interesting coincidence that we get to May 20, 2012 ,
the day of the annular (‘ring shaped’) eclipse if we count 5050
years in solar days from Pentecost 3039BC. Apparently, this
eclipse heralds the "outpouring" or return of the saints.
As
an aside the 5050 years are proclaiming 50 50, Pentecost,
Pentecost…
Is it possible that the annular eclipse is a sign? Well, the
Bible compares Jesus as a sun and in other contexts Jesus is
compared with a moon. One idea that seems to make sense is the
representation of women in Revelation 12.
1
And a great sign was seen in heaven, a woman arrayed with the
sun, and the moon was beneath her feet, and on her head was a
crown of twelve stars, 2 and she was pregnant.
And she cries out in her pains and in her agony to give birth.
(Revelation 12:1, 2.)
The "woman" in Genesis 3:15 produces offspring that crushes the
head of the snake. This concept can be physically represented by
an annular eclipse: the moon tries to hide the sun, but does not
succeed. After that the sun prevails.
So
the annular eclipse of May 20 would be announcing that it is
high time for the serpent and its representatives to get crushed
by the promised seed.
This also fits well with our expectations for 2012November13,
the total solar eclipse.
