Methuselah had it all!  His father, Enoch, was a prophet.  He got to live with his dad in the amazing city of Enoch where everyone was “of one heart and one mind.”  It must have felt like the best day ever on repeat!  

So imagine how Methuselah must have felt when he found out that the entire City of Enoch was going to be translated (hooray, how cool would that be?!)  . . . except, as Moses 8:2 says, “. . . Methuselah, the son of Enoch, was not taken.” Methuselah was the one person who had to stay behind.  

It turns out SOMEONE had to stay on the earth to continue the righteous priesthood line that Noah would come from.  What do you think that would feel like?  All of your friends, family, and righteous church leaders gone in a moment– and you are left completely alone.  Personally I would be beyond disappointed!  I might even be envious, frustrated, angry, and sulky!

But the amazing thing is that nowhere in the scriptural record do we ever read that Methuselah complained.  As far as we can tell, he accepted what happened and just kept moving forward.  What a powerful example that we can keep happily moving on even if we feel alone or like we’re missing out.
