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!  😉

Happy Studying!

  1. I’m truly so happy to be in this part of the later days.To be able to spread the truth of our Gospel and share the Book of Morman with so many people that want to know more about our loving Savior Jesus Christ. It is such a blessing to watch the people I’ve spoke with come unto Christ be baptized and receive the Holy Ghost. I know this is the true church upon the face of the world, I know Jesus Christ lives and will come again unto his world.

    1. There is so much joy that can come when we share the gospel with others! And it always helps us strengthen our own testimony and relationship with Jesus Christ. Thank you for sharing!
