The Book of Enoch, also known as The Book for the Last Generation gives a different perspective of the Flood of Noah. Could it be the Bible is not giving the whole story? 🤔

So I love overthinking and bothering myself even MORE so I was thinking of when Aziraphale says the specific years he did the “I Was Wrong” Dance:
1650. 1793. 1941.
Curiosity got the better of me and I thought “I wonder what those are as verses in the Bible…”
WELL OH BOY-
Ezekiel (16:50) : “And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good.”
(17:93) “-or, to have a house of gold or you go to heaven-but we would not even believe in your ascension unless you return with a book that we can read! "Say, "May my Lord be exalted in His glory, am I other than a man appointed as a messenger?"
John (19:41) “At the place where Jesus was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid.”
I thought nothing of this until I decided to look up 2023. The year Aziraphale left and the beginning of 2024.
(20:23-20:24)”I only know that in every city the Holy Spirit warns me that prison and hardships are facing me. I don’t care about my own life. The most important thing is that I finish my work. I want to finish the work that the Lord Jesus gave me to do—to tell people the Good News about God’s grace.”
This is The End and The Beginning of a new era. Aziraphale is going to heaven to finish what he started…Don’t forget this is labeled “The Apology Dance”. What’s the last thing Aziraphale says to Crowley? He FORGIVES him. Even if Crowley is unforgivable, forgiveness is one of the things Aziraphale is best at.
