A Brave Man

AS THE number of people began to increase on earth, most of them did bad things like Cain.  But one man was different. He is the man named E'noch. 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 did so many bad things? Well, think, Who caused Adam and Eve to disobey God and to eat the fruit that God said they should not eat?  Yes, it was a 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.
