The idea that there are certain dispensations or periods of time when God does somethings is not the same thing as dispensationalism. Dispensations simply means a period of time. Dispensationalism is a heterodox, at best, theology of how God deals with men in different times. It's so heterodox that classical dispensationalism taught that people were saved in a different way in the OT . Apart from Christ. That's a huge problem and neo-dispys like John MacArthur know its a huge problem. The dispy view of the relationship between faithful Israel of the OT and the NT church is another problem, so that dispys like John Hagee are out there spewing that Jews don't need Jesus because they have their own special and separate covenant with God that doesn't require the prophesied messiah. As for Noah and what he knew, you do realize that God spoke to Noah about these things, Genesis 6, and we don't know what Enoch told his great grand son Noah ,why, because it's not recorded in the scriptures. The book of Enoch may or may not have any truth from God in it. The orthodox ancient Jews didn't consider it God's word and neither does any actual protestant. Only the Roman church does, and I don't think the Roman church gets much of anything right. As for faithful prophets in the days of Noah, again, we have a reference to Enoch being a prophet in the book of Jude, but we don't know for sure in what context Jude is quoting these passages. Here is a couple explanations of this...
https://www.desiringgod.org/intervie...blical-sources. What we do know is that Enoch didn't write the book of Enoch, since Enoch lived thousands of years before the book of Enoch was written. Jude could have been quoting the book because it's useful to his argument, much like Paul's quoting of pagan poets in Act 17 like the link describes. Both Jude and Paul knowing the the Book of Enoch and the pagan poets were not inspired. Back to Noah, nobody but Noah and his immediate family survived the flood. So at that time there were only 8 faithful people in the world, there were zero faithful prophets. If there were, God would have saved them also on the ark.
