After the account in Genesis
we see Enoch mentioned twice in the New Testament. We get a glimpse of Enoch's work and his public life in
the book of Jude. Enoch's work includes his method, his message, and his manner.
Enoch, the
seventh from Adam, prophesied about them: “See, the Lord is coming with
thousands upon thousands of his holy ones to judge everyone,
and to convict all of them of all the ungodly acts they have committed in their
ungodliness, and of all the defiant words ungodly sinners have spoken against
him.” These people are grumblers and faultfinders; they follow
their own evil desires; they boast about themselves and flatter others for
their own advantage. But, dear friends, remember what the
apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold. They said to you,
“In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly
desires.” These are the people who divide you, who follow mere
natural instincts and do not have the Spirit. But you, dear
friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the
Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the
mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life. Jude 14-21
The ungodly will be judged, but also those who follow Christ. We need to make sure we are walking with Christ, building our faith, and trusting in His plan. Amen?
