If the book of Genesis is correct, and if I've done my calculations correctly, Madeleine L'Engle misrepresented the pre-Flood state of the world in her book Many Waters.
It wasn't Noah's father Lamech who lived until just before the Flood, but his grandfather Methuselah. Genesis doesn't say clearly whether Methuselah died before the Flood, or in it, but I believe L'Engle was probably correct in describing Noah as having the support of a Godly elder during the century he spent building the Ark, in a world where all other families were wicked.
Furthermore, according to Genesis Adam lived well into Methuselah's lifetime.
At some earlier point, I looked into the post-Flood genealogies and found that Abraham was a contemporary of some from the first generations after Noah and his family got off the Ark.
I also noticed in Mark that the centurion who saw Jesus die, and who declared that he was the Son of God, shortly after that reported back to Pilate in person that Jesus was dead.
I happened to read about the Gadarene swine in Mark 3 this morning before coming across this piece, which mentions it.
David Clements mentions Michael Cocchini. A quick internet search tells me that they've worked together before, and that a different Michael Cocchini--and a Susan Clements--went fatally missing in the Smoky Mountains. At separate times.
Feels like a rabbit hole.
Much like Jonathan Cahn connects the major demons of ancient Israel to today's United States, Clements says that the spirits of the Nephilim are here and active.

A couple months ago, I put a piece of paper on the fridge--our Scammer Prayer List. We were often getting multiple scam calls per day, and while probably none of them told us their real name, God stills knows who they are and where they live, and He surely has something better for them to do all day than bother people like us.
Two names went onto the list, and these scammers were duly prayed for--they still are--and suddenly the number of scam calls dropped, by a lot. The list still has only two names on it.
The Bible says that "the gates of hell" will not prevail against Christ's Church.
A boomer apologizes, albeit without much clarity.
"It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs," Jesus said; Matthew 15:26.
I recently understood that I am spending my life in rebuilding spiritual and practical foundations that had been foolishly undermined by previous generations.
