Episode 72: God blackens the skin of the Canaanites

Moses 7-8

God turns the Canaanites skin black (so they'd be despised by everyone)

7 ¹ Enoch continued his speech, saying, Adam taught these things and those who believed became sons of God. Those who didn't believe will be tormented by the wrath of God.

² When I [Enoch] went to Mahujah, a voice from heaven told me to climb mount Simeon.

³ So I climbed the mountain and the heavens opened up and I was clothed in glory. ⁴ I saw and talked to the Lord face to face.

⁷ The Lord said to me, "Prophesy".

So I prophesied, saying, ⁸ “A blackness came upon the people of Canaan, so they were despised by everyone.”

¹⁰ The Lord said to me, “Tell the people that I will kill them with a curse if they don't repent. ¹¹ Baptize them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Enoch's magic voice

But the Lord said to him, "I've blessed Zion, and cursed everyone else."

²¹ The Lord showed Enoch Zion taken up into heaven. The Lord said, "This is my home forever."

Cain's descendants were black

²² Enoch saw all of the descendants of Adam, except for the seed of Cain, who were black and were excluded from all the other people.

²⁶ Enoch was lifted up, and Satan controlled the face of the earth.

²⁸ God looked at the people on earth, and wept.

²⁹ Enoch said, "How is it possible for you to weep?"

God said to Enoch,

³⁰ There are millions of earths and millions of creations.

³⁶ This creation is the most wicked of all my creations.

³⁸ I'll drown its people in floods and put them in prisons that I've made for them. ³⁹ Until they repent they will be in torment.

⁴¹ Enoch's bowels yearned and eternity shook.

⁴⁵ He said, "When will the day of the Lord come?"

⁴⁶ The Lord said, "In the meridian of time."

⁴⁸ Enoch heard a voice from the bowels of the earth say,

Woe is me, the mother of men.

When will I be cleansed of the filthiness that has come out of me?

⁵² The Lord promised Enoch that some of his seed would always be found on the earth.

⁵⁵ Then he showed Enoch the Son of Man on the cross.

⁵⁶ The earth groaned, rocks split, and dead saints came to life.
