While I don’t believe the books of Enoch are inspired scripture, the date discrepancies are not necessarily wrong. The Septuagint has some different dates for the early patriarchs. Here is an article that explains why the Septuagint (LXX) is superior to the Masoretic text in a lot of places. (Be careful not to tell King James Onlyists this, though. Lol.) https://www.oodegr.com/english/protestantism/masoretic_vs_septuagint.htm Aha, thanks guys ... that’s what I was looking for! :good: So Enoch was born on Pentecost :mail: and Jewish traditions has him translated on his birthday ... Hmmm .... perhaps because he was sooo vexed with the world’s conditions ... his birthday wish was to be in heaven and the Lord granted his prayer request? 😉 Oh Tammie, Last night @ 8:30 pm I REALLY needed a “Lot of controversy surrounding Enoch’s birth and rapture on Pentecost.” Why oh why I didn’t see this earlier ... here you answered my question but for some reason I only saw/focused on the 365 age and Methuselah’s info. :mdrmdr: Then I asked the question again of wondering his birth and death :mdrmdr: Then your pun here ... still didn’t register (sink in) yet until just now. :wacko: :mdrmdr: Oh boy ... I promise to be more alert today. B-) The day God took him?? Just one more question .... I wonder if anybody witnessed Enoch getting raptured up or did they just find his clothes and shoes left behind? Does the book of Enoch reference anything on this subject? Or did the Lord reveal this only to Moses as he wrote the knowledge down in Genesis? And poor Methuselah having to live on for another 669 more years without having the support and fellowship of his dad around. And what about Enoch’s wife ... if she was still alive having to deal with that sudden loss of being a widow. :scratch: thanks for the link arthur
