Enoch first on record
A quote from John T. Polk II's PDF pub, “Walking in Wisdom,” No. 52:
Enoch was the first person on record who refused to follow a crowd to do evil, so God made him the first person on record who did not die. His exceptional life was rewarded by an exceptional “death.” He was “taken away so that he did not see death,” meaning he went from life to life. Enoch was spared the agony and actuality of the separation of the soul from the body (Cf James 2:26), with all the accompanying pain and anguish, and “translated” or changed instantly into a resurrection body. All people will one day be raised from the dead, bodies will “all be changed—in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye...for this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality” (I Corinthians 15:51-53). God shows us that a similar reward awaits those who serve Him, both in this life (Cf Matthew 6:24-34) and that to come, not that we will not die (Hebrews 9:27-28), but that we shall live beyond this earth.
