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
