"Enoch Ascends from Luz"


Readers - 

I have posted several times on the date that I think Enoch was "taken" into Heaven. It's simple to deduce the year from the Genesis 5 Bible text, which is Bible year 987, but I think the specific date was June 11th, day 162. 

You can read about it and other interesting and associated topics here:

This specific quotation out of that article is what you need to know for this post:

"Enoch was born when Jared was 162 years old. Day 162 in a non-leap year = June 11, and a grid of nine day numbers when totaled, centered on day 162 = 1455, which is Enoch's greek gematria."

Note 1455.

Another post of mine you might want to read is about Psalm 84. Please forgive my verbosity and typing/grammatical errors.

Psalm 84 has 12 verses. If Those 12 verses are months, and Enoch was "taken" in June, then he was taken in Psalm 84:6 (sixth month):

"Who passing through the valley of Baca* make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools."

Total verse gematria for that verse = 2445

We know that Enoch's name in Greek has a gematria of 1455 (see above). 

Go here to see what other verses have a numerical value of 2445:

The third verse in that list is:

Genesis 48:3
"And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me, ..."

That is Bible verse 1455 !

Jacob is referencing his dream of a ladder with angels ascending and descending to earth from Heaven:

Genesis 28:12
"And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it."

This occurred at Bethel, formally known as Luz. 

It doesn't take a great stretch of the imagination to see it's reasonable that Enoch was taken up at Bethel (Luz).

* The Valley of Baca's location is not assuredly known.
