in the Book of Jude in the New Testament):

saints, to execute judgmentupon all, andto

convince allthatare ungodlyamongthem ofall

their ungodlydeeds which theyhave ungodly

committed, and ofalltheir hardspeeches whichungodlysinners have spoken against."

The Flood of Noah did not come as a

surprise. It had been preached on for four

generations.

When Enoch was 65, he was given a

prophecy that as long as his son wasalive, the judgment of the flood would be

withheld; but as soon as he died, the flood

would be sent forth. Enoch named his son to reflect this

prophecy.

Methuselah signifies, "his death shall

bring."
