The Teaching provides a detailed examination of the biblical figure Enoch and the significance of his intentional choice to walk with God amidst a corrupt and godless world. This journey is framed within the contrasting genealogies of Adam’s sons, Cain and Seth.
The Genealogies of Cain and Seth
The Teaching highlights two distinct lineages emerging from Adam and Eve:
• The Line of Cain: Characterised as the "rebellious side" of humanity, this line began when Cain killed his brother Abel and subsequently "left the presence of the Lord". This lineage moved further from God, culminating in figures like Lamech, who introduced polygamy and gloried in violence. In this line, Cain built a city and named it after his son rather than honouring God.
• The Line of Seth: Described as the "righteous lineage," Seth was seen as a replacement for the godly Abel. From this line came individuals who "began calling on the name of the Lord," including Enoch.
The Life and Legacy of Enoch
Enoch is distinguished because he did not merely follow God but lived in close fellowship with Him for 300 years. The Teaching notes that Enoch was "besotted with God," loving Him so completely that he was eventually taken up to heaven without dying. His life is defined by three key attributes:
1. Fellowship: He walked steadily and closely with God in his daily life.
2. Faith: He was known as a person who pleased God through his unwavering belief.
3. Fearlessness: He was a prophetic figure who spoke out against the ungodliness of his generation.
His son, Methuselah, whose name means "his death shall bring," lived for 969 years, the longest in scripture. The Teaching explains that this longevity was a symbol of God's grace, holding back judgment until the Great Flood arrived just after Methuselah's death.
Practical Application: Walking with God
The Teaching suggests that modern believers can emulate Enoch’s walk by loving God through four specific dimensions:
• With all your Heart (Desire): This involves prioritising God’s presence over personal success or goals, starting each day with a desire to know Him rather than just seeking what He can provide.
• With all your Soul (Stillness): In a chaotic world, the soul requires stillness to fellowship with the Holy Spirit and hear God’s voice.
• With all your Mind (Perspective): This requires shifting one's perspective from human anxieties to a heavenly viewpoint, allowing God's truth to determine the "temperature" of the heart.
• With all your Strength (Daily Life): Enoch walked with God while raising a family and working, proving that faith meets the "to-do list". Every aspect of secular life, from the office to the home, should be seen as an act of worship and ministry.
Ultimately, the Teaching concludes that walking closely with God creates a "fragrance" that others notice, allowing individuals to introduce the presence of God into their communities and workplaces.
