Enoch - 365 yrs (jan 1, 3382 BC – jan 1, 3017 BC)

Description:

21 Enoch was 65 years old when he fathered Methuselah.
22 And after he fathered Methuselah, Enoch walked with God 300 years and fathered other sons and daughters.
23 So Enoch’s life lasted 365 years.
24 Enoch walked with God; then he was not there because God took him. -- Genesis 5:21-24 (CSB)

*When more scriptures are added into the equation, particularly the record of Gen 4 and Jude when looking at the account of Lamech in the line of Cain, I believe personally there is circumstantial evidence that the 'taking' of Enoch (5/24) was a 'removal from immediate danger' in the face of Lamech's threats.

Clearly Lamech considered his self-worth very highly and sold tickets at 77 times higher than the price on Cain's life (even though Yahweh had placed a 'protection' on Cain - 4/15-16).

For obvious reasons, Lamech's life has been singled out by Yahweh for special mention and the tenor of the record shows that Yahweh was disapproving of his selfishness, boastfulness, and his pitting himself directly against the Almighty by stating that he could and would provide protection for his own life at a greater rate than Yahweh was prepared to protect Cain's life.
Further, he would directly threaten others lives and count them as no importance against his.

Enoch was the seventh generation from Adam in the line of Seth and Lamech was the sixth in the line of Cain making he and his progeny synchronous with Enoch.

Enoch, particularly stood up as a prophet of Yahweh and tried to encourage the faithful of the time by telling them "Look! The Lord comes with tens of thousands of his holy ones
15 to execute judgment on all and to convict all the ungodly concerning all the ungodly acts that they have done in an ungodly way, and concerning all the harsh things ungodly sinners have said against him.” -- Jude 1:14-15 (CSB)

I further believe that Yahweh had a further purpose for Enoch to encourage the "Sons of God" in the line of Seth, therefore it is recorded that 'God took him' and not 'then he died'.

Further, Lamech's lineage is clearly given as the line of Cain who rejected Gods means of Salvation and was prepared to 'go it alone', albeit with a certain level of protection by God.

Enoch's lineage is also stated as being in the line of Seth (ch 5) who's teaching and dependence was on God (4/26).
Lamech was however boastful on his own independence and classified by Enoch and recorded in Jude as being 'ungodly' with no acknowledgement of, or dependence or thankfulness to Yahweh at all.

The end, or ongoing result of this continuous battle was a division in the 'battle lines' between:
*Good and Evil
*The Seed of the Woman vs the Seed of the Serpent (Gen 3/15)
*Those who seek God vs those who spurn Him
*The Sons of God vs the Daughters of Men (6/2)
*The Son of God (Jesus Christ) vs Sin and Death.
