Monday
Attention Activity
Display
a small, clear container of clean water inside a larger container of
dirty water. Point out that it is possible for the water in the small
container to remain pure even when it is surrounded by filthy water.
Liken the clean water to people who are trying to live clean lives in an
evil world. It is possible for us to remain pure and righteous if we do
not allow any impurity or unrighteousness into our lives. Tell the
children that in this lesson they will learn about Enoch, an Old
Testament prophet, who was pure in heart.
Scripture Account
Teach
the children the account of Enoch from the scriptures listed in the
“Preparation” section. (For suggested ways to teach the scripture
account, see “Teaching from the Scriptures,” p. vii.) Emphasize the following points about Enoch’s life:
When Enoch was first called to be a prophet, he felt inadequate. He was young and “slow of speech” (Moses 6:31), but he exercised faith and obeyed the Lord’s will.
Enoch talked with the Lord face to face and saw many visions. He prophesied of the Restoration of the gospel and the coming forth of the Book of Mormon (“truth will I send forth out of the earth” [Moses 7:62]), the preaching of the gospel to all the world, the building of the New Jerusalem, and the ushering in of the Millennium.
Enoch taught, helped convert, and baptized many people, who became so righteous that they lived in a “City of Holiness, even Zion” (Moses 7:19).
This holy city was “taken up into heaven” and will return at the time of the Millennium. When it returns it will join with the earthly Zion, which is the New Jerusalem.
