Enoch 65
Common Questions About Enoch 65
Why does Noah cry out to Enoch in chapter 65?
Noah sees the earth beginning to sink and its destruction drawing near, and in distress he travels to the ends of the earth and cries out three times to his grandfather Enoch, asking what is happening and fearing he himself might perish along with the earth.
What does Enoch tell Noah about the coming judgment and about Noah's own fate?
Enoch explains that judgment has been determined because humanity learned forbidden secrets of sorcery, witchcraft, and idol-making from the fallen angels, and that this judgment will not be withheld; but he assures Noah that the Lord of Spirits knows he is pure and guiltless of these sins, and has destined him for preservation, honor, kingship, and a righteous line of descendants without number forever.
