soon in the Day of Jesus Christ in his appointed time which is at hand FINIS OF WALKING VVITH GOD GENESIS 5. 24. And Enoch walked with God and he was not for God took him CHAP. I. TEXT OPENED IN this Chapter we have the Geneologie from Adam to Noah and it 's observable That God passeth all along and saith Adam he lived so long and begat sons and so afterwards they lived and begat sons and daughters and then died He only mentions them briefly till he comes to Enoch and there God seems to make a stop He doth not only tell you how long he lived and begat sons and daughters and died but he addeth Enoch walked with God The holy Ghost spends three verses upon Enoch He tells you how long he lived and begat Methuselah and Enoch walked with God And in the 23. verse there he speaks of him again and in the 24. vers Enoch walked with God again As if the Lord should say Oh my servant Enoch I must not pass by him he was an eminent holy man in his generation I must not pass by him without some especial testimony as if God should say Oh he was the delight of my Soul he walked with me Enoch walked with God Enoch he was a Prophet in his time he conversed much with God and God revealed much of his mind to him We find in the Epistle of Jude 14. there the holy Ghost mentions him again Enoch also the seventh from Adam prophesied of these saying c. Enoch prophesied he was a Prophet Where do we find Enoch's prophesie in all the Book of God we have the Prophesie of Isaiah and Jeremiah and other Prophets but where the Prophesie of Enoch Here the holy Ghost saith That Enoch prophesied saying Behold the Lord cometh with ten thousand of his Saints c. Now for the prophesie that is here mentioned by the holy Ghost in this Epistle of Jude we have it not set down in words fully but yet we have somewhat set down even in a verse or two before my Text of Enoch's prophesie and that is in the very name of his son Methuselah there is that very prophesie of Enoch that the holy Ghost speaks of in the Epistle of Jude in the name I say of his son Methuselah for Methuselah signifieth thus much he dieth and then the sending out that is the floud he dieth and then comes the floud that 's the signification of the name Methuselah So that Enoch prophesied many hundred yeers before the flouds coming and that prophesie seem'd to go further for Gods dealing with people in those times were but as a type of his dealing with men in after-times That the Lord would send forth a floud against all wicked and ungodly men in due time to destroy them he dieth and then the sending forth of the floud for the floud did come in the very last yeer of Methuselah and that 's observable that this Methuselah he liv'd longer than ever any man liv'd since the world began All the daies of Methuselah were nine hundred and sixtie nine yeers and then he died Now this may be one reason of the lengthening out of his life that he might fulfil the prophesie of Enoch for Enoch prophesied that the floud should come when he died now because God had work to bring about and to defer the floud for a while after therefore Methuselah must live so long God doth lengthen out or shorten mens lives according to the work he hath to do according to the use he hath to make of them But thus much for Enoch The person who it was ENOCH WALKED WITH GOD. Now this phrase of walking with God sometimes it signifies some special ministration before the Lord as in the 1 Sam. 2. 30 35. Wherefore the Lord God of Israel saith I said indeed That thy house and the house of thy father should walk before me for ever And then in the 35. I will raise me up a faithfull Priest that shall do according to that which is in my heart and in my mind and I will build him a sure house and he shall WALK before mine anointed for ever That is for a special and holy ministration so it 's taken sometimes But here we are to understand it more largely though it 's true Enoch was a Prophet and he might be said to walk with God in regard of the special ministration of his Prophetical Office that he had for walking with God in waies of righteousness and holiness so walking with God as it 's said of Noah that was his great grand-child in the 6. of Gen. 9. These are the generations of Noah Noah was a just man and perfect in his generation and Noah walked with God This his great-grand-child no question hearing of his fathers walking with God was a great argument for to move him to the like and his walking with God is discribed to be in being righteous and in being perfect with God The 70. in their translation turns this that you have in your books walk with God by the word he pleased God And that 's observable that the holy Ghost in mentioning Enoch in the new Testament doth follow the translation of the Septuagent in the 11. of the Heb. there you shall find that Enoch is mentioned among the Catalogue of the Beleevers there By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death and was not found because God had translated him for before his translation he had this testimony that he pleased God That word that you have here in Genesis rendered he walked with God in the Hebrews it is that he had this testimony That he pleased God indeed it comes to one he walked in the waies that God was pleased and delighted in He pleased God The Calde translates it he walked in the fear of God and so some Interpreters quoting the Jerusalemie Thargum he served or labored in the truth before the Lord and that 's one thing further in the explication that it 's said he walked with God after he begat Methuselab Some now think that Enoch was a wicked man before the time that he begat Methuselah in that sixty and five yeers there 's no mention of his walking with God but Enoch lived sixty five yeers and begat Methuselah and he walked with God after he begat Methuselah but that 's no sufficient ground to conclude because it 's said after that he did not before it might rather be to note the constancy of his walking with God that he continued in the constant course of his life in his walking with God I shall need to speak no further of the explication of this first part of Enoch's walking with God The point of Doctrine from it is this CHAP. II. The Doctrines raised from the Text and the Treatise devided into several parts THat 't is the great excellency and commendations of a godly man to walk with God Or That it is the highest testimony that can be given
