ExplanationCommentary
Verse 16. Into. Greek “a model of penance to past or future generations.” Bible.—The Latin fathers suppose that Henoch was translated to heaven, or to the earthly paradise. It is the tradition both of Jews and Christians that he is still alive, and will come to oppose Antichrist, (Revelation 11:3. Genesis 5:22. Hebrews 11:5. Calmet.) when he will preach penance, ( Worthington.) chiefly to the Gentiles, while Elias will address himself to the Jews. Bible.
