464. The Church called Enoch is described as one that produced doctrine out of what had been revealed to, and perceived by, the Most Ancient Church. Although this doctrine had no use at that time, it was nevertheless preserved for use among their descendants. This is the meaning of the statement 'Enoch was no more, for God took him', verses 22-24.
