Moses 7:19

Moses 7
19 And Enoch continued his preaching in righteousness unto the people of God. And it came to pass in his days, that he built a city that was called the City of Holiness, even Zion.

Enoch is listed as the 7th generation given from Adam (including Adam). That alone would have indicated to the Jews that Enoch was special. We learn in revealed scripture that Enoch was a most amazing prophet. Although he started out not sure of himself and his ability to preach, he became, perhaps, the most successful missionary ever.  For Enoch, nor his city did not die, but were taken up into heaven (translated). (Gen.5: 23-24). His city attained Zion, which is defined in the previous verse (Moses 7:18) as those "who are of one heart and one mind."

We can thus see what it is that we need to try to attain to in this life.  Verse 18 further elaborated in that Zion are those that dwell in righteousness, and therefore there will be no poor among them. Many, including myself, have mistaken this comment about poor as to pertain to monetary wealth. However, to God all things are spiritual (Doctrine and Covenants 29:29-35).  So, for there to be no poor spiritually, all lived according God's decree, and were continually blessed for it.  This is a beautiful outline to what we should be striving for, and even gives a possible reward (no death) for those that can attain it.  Yet, it must be understood that death is also a lesson, and whatever that lesson is, it is needed by a huge majority of God's children.
