By John Stenen Enoch had a son named Methuselah. His name means ‘when he dies, it will come.’ When people saw Methuselah, they had a very serious warning for 969 years that the judgment of God was coming in the form of a world-wide flood. Noah was the grandson of Methuselah and he was a preacher of righteousness, warning the people that judgment of God was coming. Of course they laughed at him. So God had Noah build this humongous boat because the people on earth had become so corrupt and full of violence; He had to judge them. Prior to this it had never rained on the earth. Another warning given to the people was watching God supernaturally having all the animals come to the Ark so that animal life could be preserved. When the time came; God shut the door to the Ark and the rain fell and the waters of the deep gushed out upon the earth and the people perished. Methuselah lived longer than any other human being which shows us the grace of God; offering people more time to repent and turn to Him.
