Hebrews 11:5-6
5 By Faith, Enoch was "Translated" (see note), so that he should
not see
death, and he was not found, because YHVH translated him. For he
has hadtestimony given to him that before his translation he had
been "Well
Pleasing" to YHVH.
Note: Enoch found Favor or Grace with YHVH, because ofhis
faithful love for YHVH, but Enoch was not sinless.
"Translated" is a mysterious word for the layman, but its
true
implication is that those who become "Translated" are
actually
"Turned Towards Righteousness" meaning that their faith has
been accounted as "Righteousness". A person that has
trulyrepented (rejected SELF) becomes "Translated", but
"Translated" does not mean "Hidden". Enoch's body may
have been "Hidden" but only because of his
"Translation"(POSSIBLY to prevent him from being worshipped as God.
The same
holds true for Moses).
6 Without Faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to Him, for
he who
comes to YHVH must believe (by Faith) that He exists AND that He
is a
Rewarder of Those Who Seek Him (His Righteousness).
Hebrews 12:5-14, 26-29 . . . . "MY SON, don't take lightly
thechastening of the Lord, Nor faint when you are reproved by
Him;
6 For whom YHVH loves, He chastens, And scourges every son whom
He
receives."
