创五24　 以诺与神同行，神将他取去，他就不在世了。

　　来十一5 以诺因着信被接去，不至于见死，人也找不着他，因为神把他接去了；原来他被接去以前，已经得了蒙神喜悦的见证。

　　第七代的以诺发现了逃避人类堕落最终结局的路。以诺活一种生活，使他实在地，并且全然地避开了死。在以诺被神取去之先，当他还在地上生活行动时，死已经停止杀害他。

　　以诺是第一个被提的人。……因为圣经头一次提到一件事，就立定了那事的原则。在以诺身上既是第一次提到被提的事，就立定了被提的原则。被提的原则是什么？就是借着与神同行而在生命里成熟。以诺与神同行了三百年，然后神把他取去（创五22~24）（创世记生命读经，四三○页）。

　　Gen. 5:24 And Enoch walked with God, and he was not, for God took him.

　　Heb. 11:5 By faith Enoch was translated so that he should not see death; and he was not found, because God had translated him. For before his translation he obtained the testimony that he had been well pleasing to God.

　　The way to escape the ultimate issue of man's fall was discovered by the seventh generation, Enoch. Enoch lived in such a way that he was kept from death both literally and totally. Before Enoch was taken up by the Lord and while he was living and walking on earth, death had ceased to kill him.

　　Enoch was the first person to be raptured…Since the first mention of a thing in the Bible establishes the principle for that thing, the case of Enoch, the first mention of the rapture, establishes the principle of the rapture. What is the principle of the rapture? It is to be matured in life by walking with God. Enoch walked with God for three hundred years, and God took him away (Gen. 5:22-24). (Life-study of Genesis, 2nd ed., pp. 349-350)

　　你盼望被提么？若是，你就需要与神同行。我们不仅该呼求主名，还该与神同行。呼求之后必须接着同行。与神同行就是不越过神，不自以为是，不照着自己的观念和愿望行事，也不在神以外作任何事。与神同行乃是以神为我们的中心和一切，照着祂的启示和引导作事，并且与祂同作一切事。这不仅是为神生活，为神作事，更是照着神并同着神生活行事。以诺就是这样与神同行，照着神并同着神生活行事；他不照着自己的喜好或观念，也不照着当时的时代潮流。

　　请告诉我，是神与你同行呢，还是你与神同行？是神与以诺同行呢，还是以诺与神同行？圣经没有说神与以诺同行，乃是说以诺与神同行。

　　我们要与神同行，就必须与神同在。我们必须在思想、爱好和选择上，与祂是一。……与别人同行并不容易。假定我与你同行，而我有的看法和你不同，我对你说，“弟兄，我爱你，我要与你同行。但不要走那条路，请转到这条路。我不要走那条路。”我若这样说，我就不是与你同行，乃是与你辩论。然而，这正是许多爱主耶稣的人所作的。他们说，“主，我爱你，我愿意跟随你，我要与你同行。”然而，等实际的时刻临到时，许多人不与主同行，却与主辩论。与主同行，含示很多的事：否认自己，否认自己的思想和爱好，否认出于自己的一切。这含示你把自己交给祂，你愿意降服祂，让祂引导。……与主同行要杀死你。每当我的妻子与我同行，她就要受苦。你若要与我同行，就必须否认你自己；另一面，我若要与你同行，也必须忘掉我自己，定罪我自己，弃绝我自己，使我可以与你是一。我若不愿意这样作，我就不能与你，或与任何人同行。

　　以诺与神一同走上行路。不要以为以诺被神取去是突然发生的，他这一刻在地上，下一刻就在天上了。以诺不是与神走上又走下，也不是走曲折的路。他是一直往上走，直到摸着了天。他在三百六十五岁时，几乎已经摸着天，神就对他说，“亲爱的孩子，我在这里，来与我同在吧！”因此以诺被取去了（创世记生命读经，四三一、四三三、四三二页）。

　　参读：创世记生命读经，第二十六篇。

　　Do you expect to be raptured? If you do, you need to walk with God. We should not only call upon the name of the Lord but should also walk with God. The calling must be followed by the walking. To walk with God is not to override God, not to be presumptuous, not to do things according to our own concept and desire, nor is it to do anything without God. To walk with God is to take Him as our center and everything, to do things according to His revelation and leading, and to do everything with Him. It is not only to live for God and to do things for God but to live and to do things according to God and with God. Enoch walked with God in such a way, living and doing things according to God and with God, not according to his own desire or concept or according to the current of the age in which he lived.

　　Please tell me, is God walking with you, or are you walking with God? Was God walking with Enoch, or was Enoch walking with God? The Bible does not say that God walked with Enoch; it says that Enoch walked with God.

　　In order to walk with God, we must be with Him. We must be one with Him in our thinking, loving, and choosing…It is not easy for one person to walk with another. Suppose, while I am walking with you, I have a different concept from you and say, “Brother, I love you, and I want to walk with you, but don't go that way. Turn this way. I don't want to go that way.” If I say this, I am not walking with you; I am arguing with you. However, this is exactly what so many lovers of Jesus do. They say, “Lord, I love You and I like to follow You. I want to go with You.” However, when the actual time comes, many do not walk with Him but argue with Him. For you to walk with the Lord implies a great deal: the denial of yourself, the denial of your thinking and your loving, the denial of everything that is of you. It implies that you have given yourself to Him, that you will give in to Him and let Him take the lead…Walking with Him will kill you. My wife suffers whenever she walks with me. Nevertheless, if you are going to walk with me, you have to deny yourself. On the other hand, if I am going to walk with you, I must forget myself, condemn myself, and renounce myself that I may be one with you. If I am unwilling to do this, I cannot walk with you or with anyone else.

　　Enoch walked upward with God. Do not think that Enoch's being taken away by God happened suddenly. Do not think that one moment he was on earth and that the next he was in heaven. Enoch did not walk up and down with God; neither did he walk in a zigzag pattern. He continually walked upward until he touched heaven. At the age of three hundred sixty-five, as he was nearly touching heaven, God said to him, “Dear child, I am here. Come with Me.” And Enoch was taken away. (Life-study of Genesis, 2nd ed., pp. 350- 352, 351-352)
