it is so important I grew up in a household and lived my life like there was no God I partied from a very early age at the age of 11 I was smoking weed and drinking alcohol all through high school after high school I went through a breakup and got into serious drugs by the age of 20 years old I was a heroin addict with no purpose in life uh by age by the age of 24 after seeing so many of my friends dying around me I joined a methadone clinic around a year into the methadone clinic while I was still drinking alcohol and smoking weed and cigarettes I came across a flat Earth video my first thought was wow how do people still think the Earth is flat and I laughed at it and didn't think much about it then a few weeks later I came across another Flat Earth video but this time I said okay let me watch it and get a good laugh expecting to get a good laugh I began to watch it and a few hours later I wasn't laughing at all it was like in that moment everything clicked and began to make sense I remember thinking oh no if the Earth is flat then God is real he says but at this point I still didn't know Jesus Christ even though I heard the stories everyone else heard about Jesus growing up sometime Past after having the Awakening that we've been lied to and the Earth really is flat I was in the methadone clinic still and had lost all hope in life and had this void in my heart and this emptiness I couldn't explain I was getting more comfortable with the idea of taking my own life and on a night I was having these thoughts of killing myself something happened to me I had this newfound Faith to call out to Jesus Christ the moment I cried out to Jesus telling him I needed him that I was sorry living my life like he didn't exist and I I wanted to know him I had this sorrow come over me I realized that my entire life I lived I was living a lie and I was feeling Contrition for how I lived my life up until that point even though I was feeling sorrow I had this peace come over me and I knew that this was the best decision I have ever made in my life I woke up the next day with this newfound desire for what the word of God says I remember that my mother kept a Bible in her closet and she would keep prayers and eulogies of dead relatives but she never read it he said but I remembered she had it because I would see it as a child so I went up to her and asked her for the Bible and with a strange look she gave it to me that day was the first time I opened up a King James version of the Bible and began to read the New Testament for myself the moment I began reading I couldn't get enough of it I felt like I'd been starred for this my entire life I felt like it was speaking to me and it began to take up my thoughts throughout the entire day

little by little through reading the word of God In Prayer I began to see my desires changing in life I began to have knowledge of sin in my life the knowledge of sin I was convicted and produced Godly sorrow my life which led me to repentance I went through I process through a process of around three years reading the word of God over and over and um anyway he he just uh it just goes on it's a long testimony but I wanted to just read that to you that's that's just this past week and so again that's why this is so important so let's dig into this today we got a lot to cover and I do this and remember that for some of you some of this will be repetitive because you've heard me say it before but uh do we preach on salvation one time and one time only did we preach on the baptism the Holy Spirit are the gifts of the Spirit or healing or faith or uh the second coming of Jesus one time no we have to repeat things because uh there are new people all the time who want who need to hear the truth and need to uh understand it so uh just bear with me if you know all this but we're going to get into it this morning but anyway again I'm entitled this to Sevenfold doctrine of creation this is from a prophecy from The Book of Enoch and as I shared last week I want to say this again The Book of Enoch is interesting now one of the reasons that I believe that it wasn't put in the Canon of scripture of our 66 books originally is because number one at the time we didn't have any manuscript evidence to prove it and that there had been some translations of it that had made slight changes of things so they weren't sure how to check it right so if you if you can't validate something you don't put it in a scripture but of course since that time the copy of the Book of Enoch first of all it was found in like the 1700s in Ethiopia in the Ethiopian Bible and then we found the manuscript evidence we found in the Dead Sea Scrolls a partial copy and then and then later on a full copy of the Book of Enoch which means that you know those Scrolls were dated to 300 BC but they could have been even older that's just you know some Scholars guess pretty much best guess but it's pretty well known that uh Enoch was passed on the books of Enoch what he wrote he said in the book of Eden in fact I'm re-studding the Book of Enoch and there's some amazing things in the Book of Enoch that are just blowing my mind that I read it all the way through probably around 2008 but it's mind-blowing I don't I don't find anything that contradicts scripture I know there's a bunch of people out there that's anti The Book of Enoch but um I do believe we have a legitimate book of history that contains the true writings of Enoch and so uh that's why of course it was quoted word for word the you know in chapter uh the first chapter of the Book

of Enoch was word for word in the book of Jude and as I began to discover too I began to discover like uh some of the early church fathers quoted it regularly talked about it um irenaeus tertullian uh tertullian had an interesting thing I mean he just went off he said you know I know some people don't accept it as being legitimate but it is you know so I mean the early church fathers believed it and of course obviously the Apostle Jude believed it um but let's just keep going here uh here's the prophecy from Enoch 92 12. now remember depending on the translation uh of the Book of Enoch they put different chapters in sometimes so it can get it can get a little confusing you might pull up a version and it's not in 92 but it'll be in that area somewhere you'll find you'll find it toward the end when he's talking about the the 10 week prophecy but he says here afterwards in the seventh week a perverse generation shall arise abundance shall be its deeds and all its Deeds perverse during its completion or toward the end as it's finishing this generation the righteous shall be selected from the Everlasting plant of righteousness and to them shall be given the seven-fold doctrine of his creation now uh knowing that this book is that old I mean we can confirm Dead Sea Scrolls 300 BC and the fact they would say in the last of the last days in the perverse Wicked generation of the last of the last days there would be this Revelation about creation come on folks is that not good stuff right there that just to me is amazing that's just amazing and the scriptures confirm this I'll get to this in a second but let's let's go this this is the uh one of the books that I have by Dr Ken Johnson I love his uh stuff he does about you know ancient documents but he basically has his translation of the Book of Enoch with his commentary in it and I have it and I've started reading it here in his book I love the way this is the way he translated uh the same verse there the prophecy in Enoch he said here after that in the seventh week an apostate generation will arise their Rebellion will manifest in many different ways at its close the elect righteous of the Eternal plant of righteousness we know who that is as Jesus will be rewarded with Sevenfold instruction concerning all his creation so folks let me tell you something we talk about this Flat Earth biblical cosmology biblical creation Revival this was prophesied this was foretold thousands of years ago that this would happen in the last of the last days well are we in the last of the last days absolutely
