the first thing I notice in this small passage... and in the ones surrounding it... is that with each of the men mentioned.. it tells their age when they have the first child and the name of the first son.. after that it is only told that they had other sons and daughters...
idk if that is because the first son is the one that passes on the name.. or if he is the only one that is talked about... is it to show us the significance of the first born son? I really am not sure what the reason is behind it.. when it comes to noah though, it give the name of three sons...
Enoch was the only man other than Elijah that didn't die and was taken up into the heavens by God... for me personally... that tells me that they lived an exceptional life in God's eyes... David had a heart like God's own heart and yet he was not taken up into the heavens without death...
that is amazing in many ways... first of all.. how would someone in a physical body live in the heavens? what would your life be like in order for God to think so much of you that He didn't want you to experience death... about Enoch it states that he walked with God.. didn't Adam also walk with God in the evenings?
clearly I don't have any answers.. I just wonder what it is that draws God to one person above another... we will never know the answer to that or at least not until we see Him face to face...
