Enoch

Was Adam alive when Enoch was?

Genesis 5:5 And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.

Genesis 5:3 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own alikeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:

Genesis 5:6 And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos:

Genesis 5:9  And Enos lived ninety years, and begat Cainan:

Genesis 5:12  And Cainan lived seventy years, and begat Mahalaleel:

Genesis 5:15  And Mahalaleel lived sixty and five years, and begat Jared:

Genesis 5:18  And Jared lived an hundred sixty and two years, and he begat Enoch:

Genesis 5:21  And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah:  

Adam lived 930 years
Adam was 130 when he had Seth
Seth was 105 when he had Enos (Adam was 235)
Enos was 90 when he had Cainan (Adam was 325)
Canan was 70 when he had Mahaleleel (Adam was 395)
Malaleel was 65 when he had Jared (Adam was 460)
Jared was 162 when he had Enoch (Adam was 622)
Enoch was 65 when he had Methuselah (Adam was 687)

Yes, Adam was 622 when Enoch was born, and 687 when Enoch had Methuselah.  Adam lived to be 930.

Enoch 24

Enoch sees a mountain of fire, and as he approaches he sees that it is really 7 mountains.  3 are strengthened by being places one on another in the south, and 3 are on each other in the East and 1 in the midst.  They are made of jewels.  Together the mountains resembled the seat of a throne.  Enoch learns from his guide, Michael, that God will reign the throne when he comes to visit the earth with goodness.

Enoch smells the trees that grow around the mountains and thinks their odor is very pleasant, even so pleasant that it seems better than any tree in the garden of Eden.  "Its fruit resembled the cluster of the palm."

The fruit cluster of a Palm

He asks Michael about it and is told it is the fruit prepared for the elect.  No one can touch the fruit until the time of great judgement.   Those who are not elect will receive a punishment.  The elect will have this fruit.  They will rejoice in the Holy One.  The smell of the fruit will enter into their bones and they will live a long life without sorrow, distress or trouble.

Enoch praised the Lord because he prepared this tree for the saints.

Enoch, a man of faith so strong he moved mountains!

This Ensign article says:

Enemy armies approached, “and so great was the faith of Enoch that he led the people of God, and their enemies came to battle against them; and he spake the word of the Lord, and the earth trembled, and the mountains fled, even according to his command; and the rivers of water were turned out of their course; … and all nations feared greatly, so powerful was the word of Enoch” (Moses 7:13).
It takes little to imagine the wonder that must have struck that advancing army as the land quaked and heaved and whole rivers swept out of their courses. The record tells us that the attacking army fled to a “land which came out of the depth of the sea,” and “there went forth a curse upon all people that fought against God” (Moses 7:14, 15). Few people have ever wielded such formidable power, but Enoch had proven himself worthy in the eyes of God to exercise it.

I want faith like that.

Enoch 19, 20, 21

Enoch sees hell where the wicked are bound.

²And there I beheld neither the tremendous workmanship of an exalted heaven, nor of an established earth, but a desolate spot, prepared, and terrific.
³There, too, I beheld seven stars of heaven bound in it together, like great mountains, and like a blazing fire.

(Moses 6:29)

and a hell I have prepared for them, if they repent not

Enoch 15

Enoch continues to describe his vision.  God tells him not to be afraid (a common beginning to a vision).  Enoch is told to tell the watchers that they will not gain eternal life, they were wrong to marry women, and they should have been praying for men, not asking men to pray for them.

Enoch 13

Enoch comes out of hiding and speaks to Azazyel.  He tells him he will be bound and not saved.  Then he spoke to all the "watchers" (the evil ones).  They were all afraid and asked Enoch to write a " memorial of supplication" for them to God, since they could not talk to Him anymore because of their wickedness.  Enoch writes it and goes on a journey.  While on the way he has a dream.

Enoch 13:9 I fell down and saw a vision of punishment, that I might relate it to the sons of heaven, and reprove them.

He heads back and begins to reprove them.

Enoch 12

In this chapter we learn that it is Enoch that is in hiding. While hiding, he is taught of the Lord by angels.  He is now called Enoch the scribe.

3 Books of Enoch

There are 3 books purporting to be the books of Enoch.  They are pseudepigrapha, meaning they are written under an assumed name and written long after the supposed author.  However, they may contain some truths.

Jude quotes from the Book of Enoch,

Jude 1:14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,

Apparently there are more books than just the Book of Enoch that are missing from the Bible.

http://mormonbible.org/holy-bible/lost-books - This is a very well written article that references verses in the Bible that refer to other books, which are not found in the Bible.

Here's an article that quotes an ad for a New Bible: 

An interesting advertisement inadvertently testifies of Mormon beliefs

The ad linked below is to The Holy Bible in its Original Order: A New English Translation.
http://www.restoringtheoriginalbible.com/.  There's nothing like having sectarian Christians prove Mormon doctrine true, all in the name of trying to make a buck.
