Noah built the legendary ark but
he also lived six hundred years prior to the Great Flood and we can
find a great deal of information about this time period from Enoch,
who was Noah's great-great-grandfather. Moses, Peter, Paul and Jude
all quoted the Book of Enoch and therein we find that salvation was
in the name of God, not in good works, and that the Son of Man is
the Messiah, and it was through this name that salvation is found.
Noah was a preacher of righteousness, and this was the Gospel he
preached, that salvation was through the name of the Messiah and
exactly what Jesus taught and the New Testament is all about. God
gave Enoch a revelation about the coming worldwide flood and this
warning was spoken to the people before Noah was even born. He then
commissioned Noah to build an enormous boat that was the size of a
World War II aircraft carrier with multiple decks and a door that
could only be supernaturally closed. The Book of Enoch sheds light
on this tumultuous time gives insight on how the ark was
constructed. Thousands of years later Jesus said that "as the
days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be." |
