When the Ancients Spoke — Episode 14: Enoch & Simeon
The temple courtyard is empty. Morning light spills through the columns. Two men stand in the hush — one ancient, one aged — both waiting for God.

 
Enoch: You waited long, old man.

Simeon: All my life. But waiting is not wasted when it’s for Him.

Enoch: I walked with Him. Every step felt like waiting too — for the moment He would say, “Come home.”

Simeon: And He did?

Enoch: He did. No farewell, no fear. Just presence.

Simeon: I envy that. I waited to see His promise — the child who would redeem us. When I held Him, I knew my waiting was over.

Enoch: Then we are brothers in expectation. You waited to see Him born. I waited to see Him face to face.

Simeon: Both kinds of waiting are holy. Both end in joy.

Enoch: The world rushes past, chasing noise. But God moves in silence.

Simeon: Yes. And those who listen find peace before the promise arrives.

They stand quietly, the light growing around them. No thunder, no crowd — just two men who learned that faith is not measured in years, but in trust.
