The Book of Enoch purports to be a record of visions and dreams by the great-grandfather of Noah. This makes it the first and oldest of the religious testimonies to come down the generations of mankind. Even this pre-Christian document is remarkable given that some of the prophecies foresee events that have only unfolded with the coming of Jesus Christ and the Church. The book itself, while prophesying that saints of God will have a "book" to guide them, clearly says that this book is not to be included with them. Instead, the writer claimed his work was written to the generation that would be alive during the Tribulation, as a witness especially to them. Nevertheless, scholars and historians have found the accuracy of the visions reported by Enoch amazing and inexplicable if not inspired.

Richard O. Govier (1928-2018) was a Protestant pastor and missionary and travelled the world in that capacity. He planted a number of churches as well as training pastors who served in Brazil, Chile, Argentina and across the United States.
