CHAPTER 5: THE PATRIARCHS FROM ADAM TO NOAH

v.21-24 The deaths of men are recorded in an unbroken chain until Enoch. Enoch was taken from the earth by God. Enoch, as a man of faith, represents the Church, which will also be taken out of the world (raptured). Noah symbolizes the 144,000 Jews who will have to go through the Tribulation here on earth, but will be protected by God.

v.25-27 It appears that Methuselah died in the Flood.
