Enoch Performed Additional Work on Earth as a Translated Being — Robert B. Thompson (October 5, 1840)
“And Enoch walked with God after he begat Mathusalah 300 years and begat Sons and Daughters and all the days of Enoch were 365 years and Enoch walked with God and he was not for God took him.” Now this Enoch God reserved unto himself that he should not die at that time and appointed unto him a ministry unto terrestrial bodies of whom there has been but little revealed, He is reserved also unto the presidency of a dispensation— and more shall be said of him and terrestrial bodies in another treaties treatise
He is a ministring Angel to minister to those who shall be heirs of salvation and appered unto Jude as Abel did unto paul. therefore Jude spoke of him 14 & 15 verses in Jude. and Enoch the Seventh revealed these sayings. Behold the Lord cometh with ten thousand of his saints” Paul was also aquainted with this Character and received instructions from him. Heb 11 Chap. 5 ver. 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. But without faith it is impossible to please God, for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a revealer to those who diligently seek him,”
