Seven generations from Adam. The Bible gives his life story in three verses, but his legacy spawned an entire literary tradition: 1 Enoch, 2 Enoch, and 3 Enoch. In Jewish mysticism (3 Enoch), he was transformed into the angel Metatron — the “Lesser YHWH” and the most powerful angel in the heavenly court. Jude 1:14 quotes “the Book of Enoch” — the only NT reference to pseudepigraphal material as prophecy. His “translation” (taken alive to heaven) made him the prototype for both Elijah and the Christian rapture concept.
