Walking with God, like Enoch, requisite for readiness for the imminent rapture.

Walking with God, like Enoch, requisite for readiness for the imminent rapture.

Genesis  5:21 And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah:  5:22 And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:  5:23 And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:  5:24 And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.

Dearly beloved brethren, Enoch distinguished himself, through a personal choice to walk with God.

Because of this noble choice, he experienced what the church is presently expecting to happen any moment from now.  Listen to it yourself.Hebrews 11:5By 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.
Beloved brethren, the word of God says, to walk with God, you must be in utmost agreement with Him.

Amos  3:3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed?

Prior to Enoch walking with God, he had walked without Him, until the age of sixty five.

Genesis  5:21 And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah:  

 Enoch had encounter with God after the age of sixty five, that transformed his life.

God showed him judgement that would be upon the wicked world and he personally, decided to avoid it. Listen to it.Jude  1:14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,  1:15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
Beloved brethren, you too must make a personal decision to be part of the dawning rapture and avert the great tribulation after it. 
This you will do, by your resolve to live by the entirety of God’s eternal, infallible unchanging unfailing and immutable words, till Christ comes.

Revelation  3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.  3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

The good Lord shall help you in particular in Jesus name.
