"Enoch"

 "Enoch, who lived in the seventh generation after Adam, prophesied about these people. He said, "Listen! The Lord is coming with countless thousands of holy ones to execute judgment on the people of the world. He will convict every person of all ungodly things they have done and for all the insults that ungodly sinners have spoken against him."" (Jude 14-15 NLT) 

  "And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah: And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years: And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him." (Genesis 5:21-24 KJV)

 If you have heard about Enoch, you might have also heard that there are some Bibles that actually have the Book of Enoch written in them; yet when the Bible was canonized, the Book of Enoch was taken out. Basically, there were some things in the Book of Enoch that did not meet the strict criteria for biblical canon; basically, the early churches did not accept its inconsistency with established Scripture. 

 And yet, we have Jude using something said by Enoch thousands of years before Jesus was even born. If you wanted to try and read the Book of Enoch, you would be surprised by some of the things written in that book; which is most likely why it isn't in most of our Bibles. Be that as it may, Enoch was taken up by God; so as history proclaims, after he was taken up, there were most likely many different stories and fables about what might have happened to Enoch...

"Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall all not sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality." (1 Corinthians 15:50-53 KJV)
