Key Reflection

Enoch's prophecy in Jude 1:14 suggests that he foretold the return of the Lord Jesus Christ accompanied by a multitude of angels. This prophecy hints at the eschatological significance of Christ's coming, emphasizing its grandeur and divine authority, which underscores the importance of readiness and faith in awaiting His second advent.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 14. And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam. The seventh in the direct line of descent from Adam. The line of descent is Adam, Seth, Enos, Cainan, Mahaleel, Jared, Enoch, see Ge 5:3, seq. On the character of Enoch, See Barnes "Heb 11:6". Prophesied of these. Uttered prophecies applicable to these men, or respecting just such men as these. It is not necessarily meant that he had these men specifically in his eye; but all that is fairly implied is, that his predictions were descriptive of them.
