After seventy generations had passed since Enoch preached to the fallen angels and then to that entire generation before the Flood, Jesus the Son of Man made flesh and crucified went and preached to them again after His crucifixion once His body was raised from the dead. Amazing to think what He might have preached. His crucifixion and resurrection must have been a part of it. Apparently it was to seek to bring their souls to obedience by knowing directly from the Son of Man Himself about how His obedience to God by letting Himself be crucified had led to God raising Him from the dead. So now seventy generations had passed and the Son of Man Himself was preaching to the generations of Enoch, Methuselah and Noah, maybe they would repent in prison (hell) and be a part of the resurrection at the Son of Man's return???
1 Peter 3:
18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit, 19 in which he went and proclaimedd to the spirits in prison, 20 because they formerly did not obey, when God’s patience waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through water. 21 Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 22 who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers having been subjected to him.
