And what’s really fascinating about this, Cy, is when Enoch is prophesying there, he’s not just prophesying about the destruction of the evil sons of human beings on this earth.

See, the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones to judge everyone and convict them all of all the ungodly acts they have committed in their ungodliness, and all the defiant words ungodly sinners have spoken against him.” Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about them.

They are clouds without rain blown along by the wind, autumn trees without fruit and uprooted.” “These people are blemishes at your love feasts, eating with you without the slightest qualm, shepherds who feed only themselves. So here’s what Jude has to say about those early members of Christian communities who are turning their backs on the teaching of Jesus for more exotic teachings.
