Enoch saw a vision of the great flood in Noah’s time. ⁣

And he wept. ⁣

This encouraged him to plead with the Lord for a blessing on Noah’s descendants. ⁣

And the Lord made an oath:⁣

Never again would the earth be covered in a flood of water, and Noah’s descendants would be blessed to multiply and stay on the earth. ⁣

Ready for some of the most poetic language I think the Lord uses throughout all of scripture?!⁣

I love it. ⁣

When He talks about the dark days that will accompany the Savior’s Second Coming, Enoch becomes mournful again. ⁣

And so the Lord makes this promise, RIGHT after they had discussed Noah’s flood:⁣

“Righteousness and truth will I cause to sweep the earth as with a flood” (Moses 7:62). ⁣

Righteousness and truth is sweeping the earth like what?! ⁣

Like a FLOOD! ⁣

The destructive flood waters will not cover the entire earth again.⁣

But now, WE are the flood!⁣

Sharing righteousness and truth across the entire world in unprecedented ways. ⁣

Covering literally every corner of the earth with the influence of goodness. ⁣

Helping Christ to be known, loved, and worshipped by anyone who desires to. ⁣

I am beyond grateful that I am not living in the time of Noah’s flood that Enoch foresaw. ⁣

We missed that flood. ⁣

But I am also beyond grateful that I am here when another flood is sweeping the earth:⁣

This one filled with truth and righteousness. ⁣

And I think this is one I definitely want to be swept away in! 😉

“We live in the day foretold when righteousness is sent down out of heaven and truth out of the earth ‘to sweep the earth as with a flood,’ and to gather out the elect ‘from the four quarters of the earth.’” – Dallin H. Oaks
