Before [Enoch’s] transference he had the witness that he had pleased God well.—Heb. 11:5.

Enoch did not live as long as many of his contemporaries. Still, his hope was not in that world. He had his eye fixed on something far grander. Enoch had faith that the Seed promised by God would appear in Jehovah’s due time. It has now been almost 2,000 years since that Seed—Jesus Christ—appeared, provided the ransom, and opened the way for us, as well as for such faithful ancient witnesses as Enoch, to inherit everlasting life. That Seed, now enthroned as King of God’s Kingdom, cast Satan out of heaven down to this earth, and we see the resulting tribulation all around us. (Rev. 12:12) Yes, there is far more knowledge available to us than was available to Enoch. May our confidence in the fulfillment of God’s promises influence everything we do. May we, like Enoch, walk with God, although we live in turbulent times. w 9/1/05 12, 16, 17

"Tribulation"?? Boy are they in for a surprise! When Satan is ousted from Heaven they will finally understand what was meant by Jesus' reference to a Great Tribulation. They might hope to receive treatment such as Enoch received, but things are going to be very, very different.

Do you know that JWs say satan is cast from heaven already and we are in the last days?
