Yes, it does mean Enoch did the same.
Enoch doesn't have to do the same.
He already had done the same.
Enoch and Elijah, both died at place where they were transferred to

In fact, not only Enoch but also every other human being has to do the same
(i.e. everyone has an appointment with the first death, aka physical or natural death)

You somewhat referring to the two witnesses of Revelations?

That of Elijah was prophesied.

Mal4:5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord: 6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

Watch the sequence
Luke Chapter 1
13 But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and 10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come? 14 And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth. 15 For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother’s womb. 16 And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.
17 And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.


Finally, after the death of John, see what Jesus said.

Matthew 17
10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why ten say the scribes that Elias must first come? 11 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first- come, and restore all things. 12 But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them. 13 Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.

From the above, its called prophecy fulfilixoux

As concerning Enoch, no prophecy was made, not in old or new testament. My point is Elijah has come and has died as John the Baptist Matt 17:12-13

No prophecy, No manifestation

Amos 3: 7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.

First things first, Elijah did not die naturally. He died in his second life the same way he would have died in his first life — by the hands of the King and Queen of Judah— if God had not taken him away. Second, Elijah's return was prophesied by Malachi and so that is why he was expected. There is no mention in Scripture of a return to take place for Enoch so the assumption that Enoch had to return because Elijah was returned does not work at all. undecided
