Judgment Ahead For Apostates (4 of 7)
Series: Apostate Files

He was as Jude tells us the seventh from Adam. The Old Testament tells us that this man, Enoch, lived in days of apostasy. Enoch lived right before the days of the flood. He was in that age, that period of time just before God judged the world in Old Testament times with a flood that covered the earth and in those days Enoch was a man who dared to live for God. In days of pollution, in days of corruption, in days whe ...
