2They carried me to a lofty spot, to a mountain, the top of which reach to heaven.
3And I beheld the receptacles of light and of thunder at the extremities of the place, where it was deepest. There was a bow of fire, and arrows in their quiver, a sword of fire, and every species of lightning.

Enoch is referenced a number of times in the bible, mostly in Genesis, as the seventh generation from Adam (the eight generation), as the father of Methuselah, and as one who did not die. The OT talks about him as a man of faith who 'walked with God and was no more' and Hebrews 11:5 says this: 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. Righteous! Quite literally, so, Enoch's a big deal: super faithful, translates rather than dies (death has been conquered, btw), and actually has a book that wasn't included in the bible because it's all graphic-novel imagery and stuff most people don't want to read or can't understand. It'd be a best seller if people would be liberated from their mindsets. In any case it's quite a faith-feast and I've gotten a third of the way through it twice. I should probably stick with it and glean some - I'll let you know what I find. I just put it on my kindle and will totally import my highlights.
