Seth and Enoch
49
corrupt hearts and carry out their deceptive philosophy and rebel
against the authority of high heaven.
God’s people will separate themselves from the unrighteous prac-
tices of those around them and will seek for purity of thought and
holy conformity to His will until His divine image will be reflected
in them. Like Enoch, they will be fitting for translation to heaven.
While they endeavor to instruct and warn the world, they will not
conform to the spirit and customs of unbelievers but will condemn
them by their holy conversation and godly example. Enoch’s trans-
lation to heaven just before the destruction of the world by a flood
represents the translation of all the living righteous from the earth
previous to its destruction by fire. The saints will be glorified in the
presence of those who have hated them for their loyal obedience to
God’s righteous commandments.
