THE WORD, A BRAVE MAN
Genesis 5:21-24
As the number of people began to increase on earth, most of them did bad things like Cain. But one man was different. Who is this man? E'noch was a brave man. The people all around him were doing very bad things, but E'noch still kept on serving God.
Do you know why those people back then did so many bad things? Well, think, Who caused Adam and Eve to dsobey God and to eat the fruit that God said they should not eat? Genesis 2:16 yes, it was the bad angel. The Bible calls him Satan. And he is trying to get everyone to be bad.
One day Jehovah God had E'noch tell the people something they did not want to hear, it was this: God is someday going to destroy all the bad people; the people were probably very angry to hear this.
They may even have tried to kill E'noch. So E'noch needed to be very brave to tell the people about what God was going to do. God did not let Enoch live a long time among this bad people.
What are your challenges today that makes you thing that God can not srperate you from it? According to the Bible Enoch lived only 365years on earth before he died. Why do u say only 365years"? Because men in those days were much stronger than now and lived much longer, why., E'noch's son Methuselah lived to be 969years on earth!
Well, after Enoch died, the people just got worse and worse. The Bible says that everything they thought about was of evil all the time, and that the earth became filled with violence. '
Do you know one of the reasons why there was so much trouble on the earth in those days? It because Satan had a new way of getting the people to do bad things. Hebrews 11:5. Jude 14, 15, 1 John 3:11, John 11:25, Genesis 4:2-26
