Book of Enoch

[visionary]

For various reasons, the Book of Enoch was in the canon but later cast out.

But for your enjoyment I am going to post some things that are parallel and might even be quotes that Yeshua used in His talks with the people because they were familiar with the Book of Enoch and would recognize and accept the sayings more readily.....

Matt 5:5 Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.

Yeshua quoted from the book of Enoch.

Enoch 5:7 and 6:9 The elect shall possess light, joy and peace, and they shall inherit the earth.

Try this one.

John 5:22...the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the son

They are in one accord but this isn't the only subject

Enoch 69:27 and 68:39 the principal part of the judgment was assigned to him, the Son of man.

How about...

Matt 19:29 shall inherit everlasting life

Yep, you guessed it, it is also found in the Book of Enoch

Enoch 40:9 those who will inherit eternal life

Here is another one..

Luke 6:24 "Woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation.

And what do you know, Enoch said this too.

Enoch 94:8 and 93:7 Woe to you who are rich, for in your riches have you trusted; but from your riches you shall be removed.

There is a lot of similarities here.

Matt 19:28 Ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Amazing just how much Yeshua quoted Enoch

Enoch 108:12 and 105:26 I will place each of them on a throne of glory

Here are some more.

Matt 26:24 Woe unto that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! It had been good for that man if he had not been born.

Since a lot of this is taken from Matthew, I wonder if it was because Matthew recognized where Yeshua was getting His material and that made it more easier to remember this years after Yeshua was gone.

Enoch 38:2 Where will the habitation of sinners be . . . who have rejected the Lord of spirits. It would have been better for them, had they never been born.

I am sure that Yeshua before He took on the flesh of man was the one who inspired Enoch to write this and that is why there is so much harmony.

Luke 16:26 between us and you there is a great gulf fixed.

So far we have covered a lot of things from living right, prophetic material, judgment, times, places, and eternal life.

Enoch 22:9, 11 and 22:10, 12 by a chasm . . . [are] their souls are separated

And here is one of my favorite verses

John 14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions

and Lo, and behold, Enoch talks about that too.

Enoch 45:3 In that day shall the Elect One sit upon a throne of glory, and shall choose their conditions and countless habitations.

Even stuff that you might think is originating with Yeshua in the flesh, and yet with the Book of Enoch, you find out it was there in inspiration centuries upon centuries before.

John 12:36 ..that ye may be called the children of light

Sometimes I like the way the Book of Enoch has it.

Enoch 108:11 and 105:25 the good from the generation of light

So much inspirations repeated between the two... Like they know each other well and are in agreement.

John 4:14 the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

Since I have quoted quite a bit of John, I would say that he too is very familiar with the Book of Enoch and its applications with what Yeshua is saying.

Enoch 48:1 all the thirsty drank, and were filled with wisdom, having their habitation with the righteous, the elect, and the holy.

So to think that Jude was the only one quoting from the Book of Enoch... Nahhh.. It was too common and held in the same sacredness as the other books saved in the dead sea scroll collection.

Yes, it is true that there are other books that shed light on many things, of course there are those who dismiss them to their own lack, not a problem for me

Multiple copies were discovered in 1948 in the Dead Sea Scrolls. Coptic Orthodox Churches of Egypt established, maybe by the same Ethiopian Eunuch in Acts, congregations around 50 A.D. The Coptic Orthodox Churches still include Enoch as canonized text in the Ethiopic Old Testament

What are the advantages of reading the Book of Enoch.. The Book of Enoch was one of the most widely accepted and revered books of Jewish culture and doctrine in the century leading up to Jesus' birth.

The Book of Enoch tell the story of wicked angels who abducted and mated with human women, resulting in the hybrid race known throughout secular and Biblical history as the Nephilim and these details fill in what no other book scripture or historical does not. In the third century Origen, one of the Catholic church "fathers" known as "the father of theology" affirmed both the Book of Enoch and the fact that angels could and did co-habitate with the daughters of men.

It lists the names of 18 "prefect" angels - of 200 - who committed sin. According to the text, these angels also taught mankind the "making of swords and knives, shields and breastplates (metallurgy); ... magical medicine, dividing of roots (medicinal and hallucinogenic use); incantations, astrology, the seeing of the stars, the course of the moon, as well as the deception of man." Each angel responsible for what sin they taught mankind is listed with their name attached.

Afraid of the consequences during Noah's time, these angels appeal to Enoch to intercede with God on their behalf; God instead uses Enoch to deliver a message of judgment against them. Aside from the "taking of wives," God states that he would not forgive them for teaching mankind magical arts and warlike ways. According to the Book of Enoch, God judged the angels for producing the Nephilim. God decreed that the fallen angels (Watchers) were to be cast into Tartarus. The Nephilim were also judged and it was determined that their bodies were to return to the earth in peace but their souls were doomed to wander the earth forever (as) wandering spirits..." This is the judgment to come that the demons that Yeshua cast out were afraid of "before their time".

Enoch is another witness of Earth's predelulvian era and what happened then. Several centuries before and after the appearance of Jesus in Jerusalem, this book had become well known to the Jewish community, having a profound impact upon Jewish thought. The Book of Enoch gave the Jews their solar calendar, and also appears to have instilled the idea that the coming Messiah would be someone who had pre-existed as God.

Since Enoch was written around 200 BC est. it could be said that it appears that Christianity later adopted some of its ideas and philosophies from this book, including the Final Judgment, the concept of demons, the Resurrection, and the coming of a Messiah and Messianic Kingdom. Translator RH Charles also stated that "the influence of 1 Enoch on the New Testament has been greater than all of the other apocryphal and pseudepigraphical books put together". So either Christian authors, and especially the Nicene Council, did plagiarize their theology directly from Enoch, or the original version of Enoch was also inspired.

Enoch's "inspiration" may well be in the evidence that the Jewish understanding of the term "Son of Man" as a Messianic title comes, not truly from our Old Testament canon, but from the Book of Enoch. Ever wonder why Yeshua refers to himself in the gospels as the "Son of Man" rather than the Son of God?

Over 100 uses of the phrase "son of man" in the OT, it refers "normal" men. Even the prophets like Ezekiel who wrote it 93 times. There is only one time in the entire OT, in one of Daniel's heavenly visions, that it does refer to divinity. Despite the Old Testament's frequent lack of divine application of the phrase, 1 Enoch records several trips to heaven, using the title "Son of Man" unceasingly to refer to the pre-incarnate Yeshua, our Jewish Messiah.

1 Enoch 68:35 The angels "glorify with all their power of praise; and He sustains them in all that act of thanksgiving while they laud, glorify and exalt the name of the Lord of Spirits forever and ever... Great was their joy. They blessed, glorified and exalted because the name of the Son of Man was revealed to them"

Both His disciples, and especially the Sanhedrein knew what Yeshua was claiming, 84 times in the gospels, when referring to Himself as the "Son of Man." This claim was considered an obvious blasphemy to the Pharisees and Saducees, but it is eternal life to all who confess that Yeshua of Nazareth was, and is, the Son of Man, The Messiah, God in the flesh, The Holy One of Israel, God's Christ - the Lord of All to whom every knee shall bow.

Remember the rule of two witnesses. Using "normal rules" of scriptural interpretation, we are never to draw firm doctrine from only one passage of scripture. Right? Daniel's single use of "Son of Man" (Dan 7:13), would not be sufficient to claim that the phrase is indeed Messianic, especially given the other 107 times it is not used in that way.

1 Enoch is the missing "second witness" needed, according to all other rules of interpretation, to understand the phrase's double meaning as an enduring Messianic title. It has been argued ever since Enoch's first English translation, that by using this title so familiar to the Jews, Jesus was actually affirming the truth of this book, that the prophet was taken on many trips to heaven before his "final" translation, and that HE WAS THE ONE whom Enoch saw there - the pre-existent Son of Man, whom Enoch prophesied would judge the souls of all men.

Enoch is also the only other witness to the term "watcher" regarding good and bad angels. Daniel is the only other one to use the term "watcher" referring to angels (Daniel 4:13, 17, 23 KJV). Strong's Concordance defines a watcher as a "guardian angel" (Strong's 5894).

The distinguishing character of the Watcher (opposed to other angels in the canon) appears to be that it spends much time among men, overseeing what they are doing. It is also interesting to note that both times one of these angels appeared to Daniel, he took pains to note that it was "an holy one," suggesting that some Watchers are not aligned with God while others are.

Found nowhere but the book of Daniel, "watcher" is patently Enoch's term for these angels. Likewise, Daniel alone used Enoch's term "Son of Man" to refer to the pre-incarnate Christ, adding further intrigue to the case for 1 Enoch's inspiration, and an overall understanding of it's doctrinal acceptance among both Old and New Testament writers.

Ask yourself if the below sounds like false doctrine? Keep in mind, this was written at least 200 years before Christ walked the earth, and perhaps before Noah's birth.

Enoch 61:10-13 Then shall the kings, the princes, and all who possess the earth, glorify Him who has dominion over all things, Him who was concealed; for from eternity the Son of Man was concealed, whom the Most High preserved in the presence of His power and revealed to the elect. He shall sow the congregation of the saints, and of the elect; and all the elect shall stand before Him in that day. All the kings, the princes, the exalted, and those who rule over the earth shall fall down on their faces before Him, and shall worship Him. They shall fix their hopes on this Son of Man... Then the sword of the Lord of Spirits shall be drunk from them (the lost); but the saints and the elect shall be safe in that day; nor the face of the sinners and the ungodly shall they thence-forth behold. The Lord of Spirits shall remain over them; And with this Son of Man shall they dwell, eat, lie down, and rise up for ever and ever...

Did you know... "For more than a century, scholars and church officials debated as to whether or not certain gospels, epistles and apocalypses should be included. For instance, it was long debated which to include in the canon, the Book of Revelation, or the Book of Enoch..."

Thanks for putting all this together. Some Christians would cut off your head for quoting from Enoch. The devil tried to hide this book, but all praise to our Father, He brought it to light in these days

You are welcome.. Enoch is such a delight.. insightful and a blessing for all who read it. I believe it was written for the last days.

For example... The exact term "sons of God" (B'nai haElohim in Hebrew) used in Genesis 6:1-4, is used also in Job 1:6, 2:1 and 38:7 always referring to angels. Unfortunately, many competent Bible scholars of today still believe the "sons of God" are of human lineage and is talking about the sons of Seth as being the pure breed while the sons of Cain were not. Often there is an attempt to make this passage in Genesis more palatable intellectually by explaining the 'sons of God' as Sethites and the 'daughters of men' as Cainites, with their union representing the breaking down of the wall of separation between believers and unbelievers. Then you wonder why someone claiming to be a Christian has difficulties understanding Nephiliums.

The sons of Elohim, the mighty creator are confined to those creatures made directly by the Divine hand, and not born of other beings of their own order. Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum, reknowned Judaic scholar and one of the foremost authorities on the nation of Israel, agrees almost ver batim with this assessment, in his work Messianic Christology.

Jewish historian, Josephus writes:

"...they now showed by their actions a double degree of wickedness; whereby they made God to be their enemy, for many angels* of God accompanied with women and begat sons that proved unjust, and despisers of all that was good, on account of the confidence they had in their own strength; for the tradition is, that these men did what resembled the acts of those whom the Grecians called giants. But Noah was very uneasy at what they did..."

As you can see, Josephus believed and recorded that "the sons of God" mentioned in Genesis 6 were fallen angels.

Another well-known first century Jewish writer, Philo of Alexandria, shared Josephus' views on this topic. In his work "On the Giants," Philo wrote

"And when the angels of God saw the daughters of men that they were beautiful, they took unto themselves wives of all them whom they chose.' Those beings, whom other philosophers call demons, Moses usually calls angels..." (The Works of Philo, "De Gigantibus," translated by C.D. Yonge, p. 152)

Jubilees Chapter 10: 4-5 And Thou knowest how the Watchmen (fallen angels), the fathers of these spirits, acted in my day; And these spirits also which are alive, cast them into prison and hold them in the places of judgment, And let them not destroy the sons of thy servant, my God, For they are terrible and created for destroying; and may they not rule over the spirits of the living; For Thou alone knowest their judgment. And let them have no sway over the children of righteous from now on and to eternity.

According to Pastor Ward's "Origin of Demons" page, http://www.logoschristian.org/demon.html

"Demons are the disembodied spirits of the Giants (Nephilim). The 'Mighty Men of Renown' are the Gibborim created by the Watchers when they left their heavenly abode and came down to the daughters of men as recorded in Genesis Chapter 6:4 of the Old Testament. They are half breeds, angelic hybrids, the Titans.

When Lord Jesus appeared to Abraham before the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, there was something about His appearance that set Him apart from the other two angels. Abraham addressed Him right away as Lord. I don't know what the Hebrew says, but it is Lord in the KJV. Some people have said that it is not Lord in the Hebrew but that the translators changed it.

Gen 18:1 And the Lord appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;

2 And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,

3 And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant: (KJV)

Yes, and they did a lot of damage too.

Doesn't Enoch identify the demons as the spirits of the offspring of the wicked angels and not the angels themselves?
