Christ Approves of the Volume of Enoch

1. Christ Approves of the E-book of Enoch Christ Approves of the E-book of Enoch Most important scholars say Book of Tobit that the submit place of the story inside Volume of Enoch was penned sometime for the period of the second century B.C. in addition to was dominant for at least five hundred a long time. The earliest Ethiopic text was apparently made from a Greek manuscript of the Tome of Enoch, the same thing that itself was a copy of an previously text. The naturelle was apparently written in a Semitic language, these days thought to be Aramaic. Though it was once believed to be post-Christian (the similarities to Christian terminology plus teachings are a gorgeous), discoveries of copies of the Jack Whigham conducted a study publication among the Dead Sea Scrolls discovered at Qumran prove that the work was in existence earlier the time of Jesus Christ. But the date of the native writing upon precisely what the Qumran copies of the second century B.C. were based is shrouded in obscurity. It is, in a word, old. It has largely been the opinion of historians that the essay does not in reality contain the tremendous words of the ancient biblical patriarch Enoch, earlier he as you might have lived (according within the chronologies within the Essay of Genesis) several thousand decades back than the first known appearance of the paperback attributed to him. But, of course, the contemporary historians’ knowledge of Judaic scriptural history is by no means complete. As time progresses, new discoveries may help clarify the portrayal painted by the rabbinical tradition in the Zohar, what implies that Enoch’s writings were passed faithfully from generation to generation. [9] Despite its unknown origins, Christians once accepted the words of this Publication of Enoch as true scripture, very the part for the fallen angels and more than that their prophesied judgment. Really, many of the key concepts desired by Jesus Christ himself seem directly connected to terms and more than that ideas in the Manuscript of Enoch. Thus, it is hard to prolong the conclusion that Jesus had not only studied the book, but also respected it highly enough to adopt in addition to elaborate on its enthusiastic descriptions of the coming kingdom and its theme of inevitable judgment descending upon “the wicked” — the term maximum often utilized inside Old Testament to describe the Watchers. (See “Concealed References within the Watchers...”) There is abundant proof that Christ approved of the Work of Enoch. All all over again again a hundred phrases while in the New Testament find precedents within the Paperback of Enoch. Our Lord’s beatitude “Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth” (Matt. 5:5) perhaps renders Enoch 6:9, “The elect shall possess light, joy, and peace; and sometimes they shall inherit the earth.” 22 Likewise, Jesus’ scolding Woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born (Matt. 26:24) is reminiscent of Enoch’s Where [will be] the proclaim of rest for those who have rejected the Lord of spirits? It as you perhaps have been better for them, had they never been born. (En. 38:2) The Essay of Enoch also contains precedents for Jesus’ assertion of “many mansions” within the Father’s house. (John 14:2) Enoch 39:4 reads: I saw the habitations plus couches of the saints. There my eyes beheld their habitations with the angels, and their couches with the holy ones. They were entreating, supplicating, in addition to praying to the sons of men; while strength like water flowed before them. Another Enochian parallel is start in Luke 18:7: And sometimes shall not God avenge his own elect, precisely what cry day as well as dark unto him, though he bear long with them? In Enoch 47, verse 2, we read: In that day shall the holy ones assemble, who dwell above the heavens, in addition to with united voice petition, supplicate, praise, laud, and bless the given name of the Lord of spirits, on explanation of the blood of the righteous specifically what has been shed; that the prayer of the righteous may not be intermitted past the Lord of spirits; that for them he as you may possibly execute judgment; and sometimes that his patience may not endure for ever. Jesus’ “well of water springing up into everlasting life” (John 4:14) perhaps parallels Enoch 48:1, the “fountain of upstandingness, precisely what never failed.” The biblical term “children of light” [10] is really a term that possibly stems from Enoch’s “generation of light.” Enoch 105:25 reads: And more than that right now will I call the spirits of the good from the generation of light, plus will change those who have been born in hours of darkness. Jesus’ narrative of the afterlife of the righteous is nearly identical to Enoch 50:4: “All the righteous shall become angels in heaven.” Matthew records Jesus as saying, “For within the resurrection they ... are as the angels of God in heaven.” (Matt. 22:30) 23 As well as the “woe unto you that are rich” (Luke 6:24) of Jesus Christ is originate basically verbatim in Enoch: Woe to you who are well-off, for in your riches have you trusted; but from your riches you shall be removed; because the you have not remembered the Most important High while in the days of your prosperity. (En. 93:7) The this script of parallels runs longer than can be summarized here (therefore we have listed them in “Biblical Parallels for the Tome of Enoch”), but two further themes central both to Christ’s teaching and over the Book of Enoch ought to be noted. First, the term “Son of man,” often utilized by Jesus, finds colossal elaboration in the Work of Enoch. It has long been thought that Jesus’ use of the term “Son of man” in referring to himself originated with Daniel 7:13. But popular scholars believe that it was the Booklet of Enoch what provided this key term to Jesus. [11] Although Laurence’s translation does not reflect it, it seems that Enoch himself was titled by God “Son of man.” Biblical scholar H. H. Rowley points out that various translators have hedged on this passage, mistranslating it or even attempting to change the indigine text that applies the words “Thou art the Son of man” to Enoch. [12] Laurence’s translation of the key passage, perhaps for doctrinal reasons, substitutes the words “offspring of man” on the literal translation “Son of man.” By contrast, what time the term “Son of man” clearly refers to Jesus Christ, Laurence uses it without hesitation. Laurence’s translation reads: Then that angel came to me, as well as with his voice saluted me, saying, Thou art the offspring of man, who art born for upstandingness, and sometimes honor has rested on thee. (En. 70:17, 23) [13] Laurence’s choice of words is duly noted in this tome in the Essay of Enoch. The second theme important to both the Tome of Enoch and sometimes the teachings of Jesus Christ concerns the judgment as well as the huge tribulation. Jesus depicts the Gentile judgment executed by the Son of man, his angels with him, as recorded in Matthew 25:31–32, 41, 46. What time the Son of man shall come in his glory, in addition to all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: And

2. earlier him shall be gathered all Gentiles: and sometimes he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats.... Next he will say to those on his left hand, “Go away from me, with your curse upon you [the judgment of God upon the Watchers], to the eternal fire 24 prepared on the devil and sometimes his [fallen] angels.” (Jerusalem Bible) [14] As well as these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. The same scene is described in Enoch 45:3 plus 66:5–7. In that day shall the Elect One sit upon a throne of glory; and more than that shall choose their eventualities and more than that countless habitations (while their spirits within them shall be strengthened, what time they behold my Elect One), shall choose them for those who have fled for protection to my holy as well as glorious person's name.... I beheld that valley in the same thing that there was giant perturbation, in addition to where the waters were troubled. In addition to when all this was effected, from the fluid mass of fire, as well as the perturbation just the thing prevailed in that place, there arose a strong smell of sulphur, specifically what became mixed with the waters; and the valley of the angels, who had been guilty of seduction, burned underneath its soil. Through that valley also rivers of fire were flowing, to the same thing those angels shall be condemned, who seduced the populace of the earth. In Matthew 24:7, 21–22, 29–30 Jesus’ prophecy on the colossal tribulation is recorded: For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: plus there shall be famines, as well as pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.... For then shall be massive tribulation, such as was not for the reason that beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And more than that except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but within the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.... Inevitably after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and sometimes the moon shall not give her light, and sometimes the stars shall fall from heaven, as well as the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And more than that then shall appear the pointer of the Son of man in heaven: and more than that then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and more than that they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and sometimes huge glory. These passages are entirely consistent with the great drama of the judgment as it unfolds inside the Booklet of Enoch. In Enoch 79, Archangel Uriel gives Enoch the vision of those things that the Son of man as you may possibly also tell us must be fulfilled. In those days Uriel answered in addition to said to me, Behold, I have showed thee all things, O Enoch; Plus all things have I revealed to thee. Thou seest the sun, the moon, as well as those just the thing conduct the stars of heaven, precisely what cause all their operations, seasons, and arrivals to return. While in the days of sinners the decades shall be shortened. Their seed shall be backward in their prolific soil; as well as everything done on earth shall be 25 subverted, plus disappear in its season. The rain shall be restrained, and heaven shall stand still. In those days the fruits of the earth shall be late, as well as not flourish in their season; and more than that in their season the fruits of the trees shall be withholden. The moon shall change its laws, in addition to not be seen at its proper period. But in those days shall heaven be establish; and more than that barrenness shall take status within the borders of the huge chariots in the west. Heaven shall shine more than as soon as illuminated by the orders of light; while many chiefs among the stars of authority shall err, perverting their ways in addition to works. Those shall not appear in their season, who command them, plus all the classes of the stars shall be shut up against sinners. (79:1–7) Note that in Enoch the stars are revealed to be a hierarchy of angels, some of whom pervert their ways and more than that works, while Jesus says they shall fall from heaven and their powers be shaken, and Mother Mary declares while in the Magnificat that her Son shall put down the mighty Watchers from their seats of authority on earth which they have usurped from the children of the Light — “them of low degree.” [15] The idea that Jesus’ teachings may have been “dependent,” in a broad sense, upon a former theological hardback, rather than an all-new and more than that never-since-revealed teaching straight from heaven, has troubled some. In 1891, Reverend William J. Deane protested against connecting Jesus’ teaching about the newly published Manuscript of Enoch, noting indignantly, “We are asked to believe that our Lord in addition to His apostles, consciously or unconsciously, released into their speech plus writings ideas in addition to expressions most decidedly derived from Enoch.” [16] But one can only conclude that it was a conscious decision within the part of the beloved Rabbi (Teacher) to include Enoch among the Old Testament prophets he so frequently cited. (See Appendix I, “The Rules as well as the Prophets Quoted by Jesus Christ.”) Even as a boy of twelve, Jesus revealed his understanding of the Scriptures about the doctors of the temple at Jerusalem, who were astonished at his questions and sometimes his answers. In his Sermon for the Mount, Jesus introduced himself to be the fulfillment of both the decree and more than that the prophets: “Think not that I am come to destroy the legislation, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.” (Matt. 5:17) As soon as Jesus returned from the temptation inside wilderness to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, he went into the synagogue at Nazareth as well as introduced his ministry because fulfillment of the prophecy of Isaiah 61:1–2. [17] Because Master was surely familiar with the E-book of Enoch in some proclaim, you could possibly not his orientation to the legislations in addition to the prophets have included the huge publication of the prophet who was the father of Methuselah as well as the vast-grandfather of Noah? I believe that Jesus came to pick up the mantle of Enoch since the messenger of the Natural of Days and his ongoing prophecy about the Watchers. I believe that the son of David came with the authority of our Father Enoch, who said, “So has He created as well as given to me the power of 26 reproving the Watchers, the offspring of heaven” (En. 14:2) Indeed, Jesus came to fulfill the decree plus the prophecy of the judgment by the incarnate Word! Both in his fierce rebuke of those scribes in addition to Pharisees who prated the letter but had not the spirit of Moses and sometimes in his concise statement of his mission: “For judgment I am come,” (John 9:39) Jesus made dull that he knew of the prophesied judgment in addition to saw it occurring both in his time as well as at the end of the age. He studiously understood the mechanism of the judgment of the fallen angels as an authority given by the Father over the Son. For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: That all men should reward the Son, even as they gift the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father precisely what hath sent him.... For since the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given about the Son to have life in himself; As well as hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. (John 5:22–23, 26–27) This power to execute judgment Jesus transferred to his apostles (Enoch’s elect) [18] because the he was the Son of man. Verily I say unto you, that ye just the thing have followed me, inside the regeneration what time the Son of man shall sit while in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. (Matt. 19:28) And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me; that ye may eat and sometimes drink at my table in my kingdom, in addition to sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. (Luke 22:29–30) In addition for the familiar references to the Old Testament, Jesus may have even alluded to prophecies in apocryphal texts not included by the Church Fathers or the rabbis who selected the books that comprise our current Christian Bible in addition to Judaic Scriptures. A number of earlier unknown texts originate at Qumran as well as Nag Hammadi indicate that Jesus taught from other writings inside manner of an natural wisdom teacher. Yale professor Charles Cutler Torrey cites evidence that Jesus quoted from a at this time-lost apocryphal paperback. [19] He points to Luke 11:49–51, the same thing that reads: Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets in addition to apostles, plus some of them they shall slay in addition to

3. persecute: That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be obligatory of this generation; From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar and more than that the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be basic of this generation. 27 Although partial phrases and some of the above subject matter may be discovered inside the Old Testament, [20] this statement of Jesus is not to be noticed intact anywhere within the Hebrew Scriptures. It is Torrey’s contention that Luke’s introductory person's name “said the wisdom of God” indicates that Jesus is quoting directly from a source that is at the moment apparently lost. It is my opinion that not only did Jesus quote material from sources not included while in the Old Testament but that he did so in sequence to further elaborate on the judgment for the reason that coming due of the accountability of the Watchers for their murder of the lightbearers, just the thing these fallen ones had carried on continuously “from the foundation of the world.” Furthermore, Torrey notes there are other references in the New Testament to scriptural works that have these days vanished but precisely what were known within the apostles. One such orientation can be start in Matthew 27:9–10: Then was fulfilled that the same thing that was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And sometimes they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value; And sometimes gave them about the potter’s field, because Lord appointed me. The text Matthew says he is quoting from Jeremiah is not in the prophet’s paperback uncovered in the Old Testament at this time. But the fourth-century Church Father Jerome wrote that a member of the Nazarene sect showed him an “apocryphal” text of Jeremiah in what Matthew’s quotation could be seen in its exact shape. [21] Thus, it appears that Matthew’s version of the Book of Jeremiah had teachings that had been deleted by the time of the fourth century. The idea that Jesus you can possibly have quoted from a work he felt was inspired with the spirit of the patriarch Enoch immediately as readily as he you can possibly quote from the Torah of Moses is not as preposterous as Deane chose to believe. Why else you might the apostle Jude (who is believed to be the brother of Jesus) base an entire epistle for the story of fallen angels as told in Enoch? I believe he was quoting his Lord’s emphatic exegesis to the patriarch’s booklet in addition to that Jesus saw himself as one who came to expose the generation of the seed of the wicked (the Watchers), whom he plus John the Baptist called vipers, [22] among other epithets, and sometimes to save from the intrigue of the incarnate angels the descendants of Adam for the duration of Seth, the sons of Jared — the children of the seed of Light. Jesus came to pick up the thread of Enoch — to build upon the or a very teaching, the crux in theological history, where Enoch left off.As well as then there was the Booklet of Enoch. Once cherished by Jews plus Christians alike, this tome later fell into disfavor with powerful theologians — precisely because of its controversial statements about the nature and sometimes deeds of the fallen angels. Its theme so infuriated the later Church Fathers that one, Filastrius, in reality condemned it as heresy. [2] Nor did the rabbis deign to give credence about the hardback’s teaching about angels. Rabbi Simeon ben Jochai inside second century A.D. pronounced a curse upon those who believed it. [3] So the booklet was denounced, banned, cursed, no doubt burned in addition to shredded — in addition to carry on but not least, lost (as well as conveniently forgotten) for a thousand decades. But with an uncanny persistence, the Publication of Enoch originate its way earlier into circulation two centuries previously. In 1773, rumors of a surviving copy of the work drew Scottish explorer James Bruce to distant Ethiopia. Tremendous to hearsay, the Booklet of Enoch had been preserved by the Ethiopic church, which put it right alongside the other books of the Bible. Bruce secured not one, but three Ethiopic copies of the precious essay and brought them back to Europe plus Britain. What time in 1821 Dr. Richard Laurence, a Hebrew professor at Oxford, produced the first English translation of the work, the modern world gained its first glimpse of the forbidden mysteries of Enoch. [4] The Essay of Enoch speaks from that obscure realm where history in addition to mythology overlap. Privy to those unfathomable founts of naturelle lore, its author draws on the reader a brimming cup of secret wisdom. A primordial drama of good and more than that evil, light plus dark, unfolds. The manuscript tracks Enoch’s footsteps earlier to antiquity’s timelessness — earlier about the first hint of corruption upon a pristine world: earth. The trouble begun, according to the E-book of Enoch, at just the thing time the heavenly angels and sometimes their leader titled Samyaza transformed an insatiable lust within the ‘daughters of men’ upon earth and an irrepressible drug habit to beget children by these women. Samyaza feared to descend alone within the daughters of men, and so he convinced two hundred angels named Watchers to accompany him on his mission of pleasure. 17 Then the angels took oaths in addition to bound themselves on the undertaking by “mutual execrations” — curses. Once such a pact was sealed, betrayal was punishable by unnamed horrors. In their gang-inspired bravado, the angels descended and more than that took wives from among the daughters of men. They taught the women sorcery, incantations, and more than that divination — twisted versions of the secrets of heaven. The plot thickens like a science-fiction thriller — easier to take as fantasy than as fact. The women conceive children from these angels — evil giants. The giants devour all the food that the men of earth can construct. Nothing satiates their hunger. They kill and sometimes eat birds, beasts, reptiles, as well as fish. To their enormous appetites, nothing is sacrosanct. Soon even Homo sapiens becomes a delicacy. (7:1–15) For the reason that story goes, one spiteful angel referred to as Azazyel creates accouterments for their consorts — like eye makeup as well as fancy bracelets — to enhance their sex enchantment. As for the men, Azazyel teaches them “every species of iniquity,” including the means for making swords, knives, shields, breastplates — all the instruments of war. (8:1–9) There, millennia back, someone explained war not as a man-formulated or God-sent plague, but as a vengeful act of a fallen angel barred from the planes of God’s power. The implication is that man, all through one position of manipulation or another, latched on within the war games of the fallen angels and more than that allowed himself to commit genocide in defense of their archrivalries. But there is more to Enoch’s portrayal of the Watchers. At precisely what time the men of earth cry out against the atrocities heaped upon them, heaven hears their plea. The mighty archangels — Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Suryal, and more than that Uriel — charisma on behalf of earth’s population past the Most important High, the King of kings. (9:1–14) The Lord orders Raphael to bind Azazyel hand plus foot. Gabriel is sent to destroy the “children of fornication,” the offspring of the Watchers — by inciting them to their own self-destruction in mutual slaughter. Michael is then authorized to bind Samyaza and his wicked offspring “for seventy ages underneath the earth, even over the day of judgment.” (10:15) [5] In addition to God sends the Gigantic Onslaught to wipe out the evil giants, the children of the Watchers. But in succeeding generations (after the sinking of the continent of Atlantis) the giants return once more to haunt mankind. Likewise it seems that the Watchers will hold power over man (in some curiously undefined way) until eventually the final judgment of these angels comes, which, the author implies, is long overdue. There is also a utmost severe passage around your end of the paperback that speaks of the latter days upon earth: In those days will the angels return as well as hurl themselves upon the East,... to stir up the kings in addition to provoke in them

4. a spirit of unrest.... 18 And they will march up until and tread under foot the land of His elect ones.... They will begin to quarrel amongst themselves ... till the number of corpses all through their slaughter is beyond count, as well as their punishment be no languid one. [6] This seems a chilling prophecy of our own time — with wars and rumors of wars in “the East” plus the countless corpses in a holy land. There is no date carved to the prediction, but a few person's name changes in the right places as you may manufacture it duplicate today’s headlines. The main theme of the E-book of Enoch is the final judgment of these fallen angels, the Watchers, plus their progeny, the evil spirits. (15:8) But several other cases are also noteworthy. In chapter 12 of the volume, the Lord says to Enoch, scribe of purity, Go tell the Watchers of heaven, who have deserted the lofty sky, plus their holy everlasting station, who have been polluted with women, [7] And sometimes have done as the sons of men do, by taking to themselves wives, in addition to who have been greatly corrupted about the earth; That about the earth they shall never pay for peace plus remission of sin. For they shall not rejoice in their offspring; they shall behold the slaughter of their beloved; shall lament for the destruction of their sons; in addition to shall petition for ever; but shall not get mercy plus peace. (12:5–7) In chapter 13 Enoch declares the Lord’s judgment to Azazyel: Thou shalt not buying peace. A giant sentence is gone forth against thee. He shall bind thee; Neither shall relief, mercy, and sometimes supplication be thine, on depiction of the oppression specifically what thou hast taught; And on profile of every act of blasphemy, tyranny, and sometimes sin, just the thing thou hast available over the children of men. (13:1–3) Chapter 13 also describes how the Watchers became terrified and more than that trembled and besought Enoch to write for them a prayer for forgiveness, that he you could possibly cause their prayer to ascend to God, back they themselves could not address him on description of their offense, their sins being so grievous. Enoch then reports on the Watchers: I have written your petition; and more than that in my vision it has been shown me, that precisely what you request will not be granted you as long for the reason that world endures. Judgment has been passed upon you: your request will not be granted you. From this time forward, never shall you ascend into heaven; He has said, that over the earth He will bind you, as long because the world endures. But since these things you shall behold the destruction of your beloved sons; you shall not possess them, but they shall fall 19 earlier you by the sword. Neither shall you entreat for them, nor for yourselves; But you shall weep in addition to supplicate in silence. (14:2–7) In chapter 15, the Glorious in addition to the Effulgent, the Lord God, speaks for a second time to righteous Enoch. Go, say for the Watchers of heaven, who have sent thee to pray for them, You ought to pray for men, and more than that not men for you.... You being spiritual, holy, as well as possessing a life the same thing is eternal, have polluted yourselves with women; have begotten in carnal blood; have lusted within the blood of men; as well as have done as those who are flesh plus blood do. These keep in mind that die as well as perish. Therefore have I given to them wives, that they you could possibly cohabit with them; that sons you could possibly be born of them; as well as that this you can possibly be transacted upon earth. But you from the beginning were constructed spiritual, possessing a life what is eternal, and sometimes not subject to death for ever. Therefore I built not wives for you, because the, being spiritual, your dwelling was at heaven. (15:1, 3–7) [8] The Lord further explains to Enoch the nature of the offspring of the Watchers and the evil that they wreak upon the earth: In these days the giants, who have been born of spirit plus of flesh, shall be referred to as upon earth evil spirits, and on earth shall be their habitation. Evil spirits shall proceed from their flesh, because they were created from above; from the holy Watchers was their beginning and sometimes primary foundation. Evil spirits shall they be upon earth, in addition to the spirits of the wicked shall they be given its name. The habitation of the spirits of heaven shall be in heaven; but upon earth shall be the habitation of terrestrial spirits, who are born on earth. The spirits of the giants shall be like clouds, what shall oppress, corrupt, fall, contend, and bruise upon earth. They shall cause lamentation. No food shall they eat; and sometimes they shall be thirsty; they shall be concealed, and shall not rise up against the sons of men, and sometimes against women; for they come forth all through the days of slaughter plus destruction. Plus as for the death of the giants, wheresoever their spirits depart from their bodies, let their flesh, that specifically what is perishable, be without judgment. Thus shall they perish, up over the time when the day of the substantial consummation of the giant world. A destruction shall take shape of the Watchers in addition to the impious. (15:8–10; 16:1) For the reason that of so tremendous a sin, the Lord tells the Watchers, “Never therefore shall you buying anything peace.” According over the text of the Hardback of Enoch, the Lord’s judgment against the Watchers prevails — then in addition to at present. The author of the hardback also describes in powerful majesty and more than that under your own steam praise certain visions of heaven given to him. He writes of his guideline from the archangels regarding the awesome 20 judgment of the fallen ones earlier God’s throne. He delivers three heavenly parables (or similitudes) describing the glories of the Kingdom and more than that the ineffable Native of Days in addition to the Son of man who, it is said, shall bring the final judgment upon the wicked of the earth. There is also a major section of the publication dyed-in-the-wool to astronomical depiction, and a lengthy prophecy concerning the future of the elect. So runs the text of the Tome of Enoch as we have the manuscripts nowadays. The studious reader will note that the work translated here feels somewhat disjointed and sometimes therefore you you could possibly possibly be compiled of old fragments loosely stitched together in native times — perhaps even a crudely edited version of a larger corpus of Enoch books that no longer exists.
