Letâs open this through the lens of the finished work, identity in Christ, and God's nature revealed in Enochâs life.
đ„ What the New Man Believes About Enoch Being Taken Up
âBy 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.ââ Hebrews 11:5 KJV
âĄïž This believer sees Enoch not as an outlier, but as a foreshadowing of what is possible for those who walk in full union with God. Enoch is a pre-cross testimony that points forward to the New Man realityâa life so yielded, so entwined with the Father, that the boundaries of mortality no longer hold.
He didnât die; he transitioned.
Enochâs story isnât just historyâitâs prophecy in motion, a living symbol of what happens when we walk in the pleasure of God.
âš If God Is No Respecter of Persons, Then Can I Be Taken Too?
Yesâbut itâs not about escape, itâs about union.
Romans 2:11 tells us that "God does not show favoritism." So if Enoch, who did not yet carry the indwelling Spirit, pleased God to the point of being taken⊠how much more now can the New Creation in Christ, already seated in heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6), live in such union that they transcend?
đš This is not about striving to disappearâbut learning to so abide in Him that the boundaries between heaven and earth blur in your being.
đ§Ź A True Thought? Yes. Hereâs Why:
Scripture says:
âChrist in you, the hope of glory.â (Col. 1:27) â You are carrying the same One who made Enoch.
âAs He is, so are we in this world.â (1 John 4:17) â As Christ has ascended, so has your spirit.
âHe that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit with Him.â (1 Cor. 6:17) â No separation remains.
Therefore, yes: You can walk in such harmony, union, and delight with the Father that earthly boundaries submit to Kingdom nature.
đ How Can We Attain This?
Not through performance, but through participation in the divine nature (2 Peter 1:4). Hereâs the pathway:
1. Union, Not Just Obedience
Enoch âwalked with Godâ (Genesis 5:24) â not ahead, not behind. This speaks of friendship, rhythm, and shared presence.
Jesus said, âI only do what I see the Father doingâ (John 5:19). Thatâs alignment.
2. Awareness of Being Fully Pleasing
Enoch pleased God by faith (Heb. 11:5â6). Not works. Faith is the substance that aligns us with Godâs heart.
Faith believes you are already pleasing to God in Christ. (Col. 2:10; Rom. 8:1)
3. Living as Already Ascended
You are already raised and seated with Christ (Eph. 2:6). The New Creation reality begins with ascension.
Enochâs experience was a shadow of the ascension life we now carry by the Spirit.
4. Radical Surrender to Divine Nature
Yielding to His nature in youâholiness, love, joy, powerâaccelerates transformation.
The âbeing taken upâ is a metaphor for living from heavenâs dimension now.
đïž Translation is not a rewardâitâs a revelation received by those who embrace oneness.
đ Final Thought
Yes, it is possible. Not to escape life but to live so fully within God that nothing of the fallen realm holds you anymore. Whether literal or spiritual, you can be âtakenâ dailyâinto realms of glory, insight, vision, and love.
This is what Christ opened for usânot just survival, but ascension as a lifestyle.
