The forsaken have judgement coming. As you as you push off the prophecy of Enoch you seal your sin. Fore now is the time 70 generations have past.

    • @IllustriousCrocoduck

      Seems plausible. A reminder at least that for every pieve of history that we have preserved evidence of, there are many that were culturally known, accepted, debated, and forgotten.
      I think of this often when watching documentaries on serial killers- we look back at their criminal history, because it was recorded (sometimes), but we rely on anecdotal evidence for most of their lives. This is true for all of us. Prior to the internet, just how much of any average person's life is recorded? A diary? A portrait? 0.001% of their full life.
      My point is that recorded history is a drop in the bucket, and ultimately what we "know" could well be flawed. We must remember the 5 Cs of historical studies.

      Yes, Enoch, and Adam and Abraham were all "established figures before Moses wrote about them BUT we have none of the books Moses said he used as reference for Genesis and Forst Enoch was NOT among the booka Moses listed. Bubba, if you listened to the video at all you should have heard that First Enoch was written in 200-300 BC while Enoch was taken to heaven in 3000 BC. Clearly Enoch did NOT write the book of Enoch although the book clearly claims that he did.
      Here is the time line ~3000 BC Enoch is taken to heaven in Genesis 5 and never returns.. ~2500 BC Noah and the Flood. Noah never even met Enoch and Enoch left before both the Flood and fallen "angels". ~1500 BC Moses writes Genesis. ~200-300 BC Book of Enoch written. So Exactly how does Moses use the Book of Enoch as a reference if it was firt written 1000 year AFTER Moses wrote Genesis??? Think about that Genius.

    I read Enoch when I was much younger and what struck me was the parallels between the watchers and the Greek gods in their interactions with humans. Teaching, corrupting, interbreeding and playing at warfare with humans or demigods as champions or pawns. Back when I believed these things literally it seemed like a potential explanation for other religions at the time, now of course it is more obviously due to cultural contact and the spread of ideas around the Mediterranean.

    I do not believe that the Book of Enoch was a "spin-off" at all! In fact, there is evidence that it is much older than the Bible and was already a widely known part of literature when the Bible was written, hence there was no reason to elaborate when it was briefly mentioned in the Bible. The writer assumed everyone already knew what he was talking about, probably because they did! It is a complex piece of literature that should be respected.

    Bear in mind an important fact when reading Enoch: Firstly there are three books of Enoch. In antiquity they spoke of only one. Scholars are fairly sure that there are two different authors. The author of the first book, written before Christ. And the author of both the second, and the third books, dated to after Christ. They compare phrasing and language that differs between the two. As well as language usage in the different eras. When purchasing an edition of "The book of Enoch.", you usually will have all three books, in the one volume.

      I'm sorry you have not made your point, but you have let everybody know where you're coming from, I'm sorry you just have not made a point, and still haven't made a point- but the direction you're going to it's the supported institution over truth that has been revealed through time, that is the problem you're having here.
      "For the Sadducees say that there is neither a resurrection, nor angels, nor spirits, but the Pharisees acknowledge them all." [Acts 23:8]
      You were saying?
      The word of God actively unpacked and discredited everything you said, so again, the more you talk the more you're telling people what you are not, and that is valid nothing you said is correct from a biblio Centric perspective, but if I was Catholic or Judaistic, in some Orthodox manner, I can understand the intentional conflation...
      Bottom line is what you choose to support your argument with, is not bibliocentric - therefore moot.

I am praying that God will send His angels to each and everyone of you to comfort you, surround you with His love, give you peace beyond measure, and to change things for the better. Please know that you are here for a reason and that sometimes we don't always know why we go through things, maybe to help someone else going through the same thing because you understand such pain that someone else may not. Please also know you also have a Savior Jesus Christ who died for you, He loves you more than you could ever know. Please ask Him for forgiveness of wrongs and ask Him into your heart believing with sincerity. He can guide you in all things. I speak from experience it doesn't matter what we have done or that we think we don't measure up He will meet us where we are, even in our lowest low. He can give you peace beyond measure, I speak from experience. I can only imagine how hard it has been for you but I truly hope the best is yet to come for all of you. Please never give up, because He won't give up on us. Please remember this when things are hard and you feel at the end of your rope

      @@prod.mohomid Now there are many bad things about the books of Enoch but applying the term son of man to Enoch is NOT one of them Read the Biblical book of Ezekiel. I am going through it daily roght now. In almost every chapter GOG himself calls Ezekiel "son of man. The term jsut means "HUMAN". Yes, Daniel refers to the Messiah as the Son of Man and Jesus usually calls himself the Son of Man rather than the Son of David or even the Son of God in order to emphsize that he is indeed human as well as God. Mow it depends on the translation you read as to whether Enoch is actually called the son of human as just human or as designating him as the Messiah. The first is not a problem. The second is blasphemy. Since I cannot read the Ethiopian and the scholars differ, I simply do not know on this point. But there are many other reason that first Enoch is trash.

    When I first read the book of Enoch as a 20 something year old Christian it made so much sense to me. It filled in all of these unanswered areas for me such as why astrology and certain substances were considered “wrong” in the faith. I believed it’s because they were the secrets of heaven that were not intended for man. It was like a lightbulb moment. These things actually work, but they weren’t meant for us, that’s why it is forbidden. I don’t believe any of this anymore but I still have an extreme fascination with biblical theology.

      The Koran and Mohammed came 600 years after Jesus and the New Testament.

Unfortunately since he could not read he badly butchered the Bible stories and claimed they came from an angel. This is all from the forward of MY copy of the Koran. The Koran is just as much late garbage by a bad and lying author as the Book of Enoch was.

      Ezekiel was called son of man referring to his earthly manhood. JESUS on the other hand is called THE son of man referring to Him being deity. The word "The" is never used calling someone other than Jesus son of man. There is too little about Enoch to build doctrine around of significance. The whole of the bible points to Christ.

    Just for extra's ... not religious, but I love how ancient texts and traditions have been shaping our collective memory. Enoch and Idris are not the same persona. Enoch and Noah are the same, because what a lot of people don't know is that early biblical manuscripts were written in the same language but different dialects. And in some dialects you have to refer to a known person by adding a/e/i which later became the prefix al-/el-/il- and also became the suffix -al/-il/-el. Those strict dialects add the prefixes so that people would know that the text only applies to the referred person and doesn't apply to anyone with the same name. That's why a lot of texts use the name Abraham/Abrahim/Ibrahim while the real name is Brahim/Brahem/Braham (Bra - him means without worries). Same story for name Noah/Enoch, Dris/Idris, Yonas/Yunes/Yunis/Yunus, Ya'cob/Ya'cub/Ya'cup and so forth. Translators saw the names as separate because they couldn't distinguish between dialects.

      The Ethiopian Orthodox church, with one of the earliest christian churches, has 81 books in the bible compared to 66 in most churches. The book of Enoch is on of the books of the Ethiopian church. The book was lost to the rest of the world until the 18th century explorer James Bruce came across the book and took some copies to Europe. The discovery of the dead sea scrolls put the book back into the spot light and the Ethiopian version, which had been preserved in it's entirety for millennia were identical. You see, before christianity, there was alredy a strong judaic presence and many of the old testment books already existed in the area. After Ethiopia became the second nation to officially adopt christianity, the old books and the judaic culture that florished in the area for more than a thousend years were fused with the new testment books. This is the reason the Ethiopian church is very unique compared to churches in Europe. The books were preserved in the isolated mountain monastries and the judaic culture such as dietary restrictions, preserving both sunday and saturday as the Sabbath, removing shoes before going into the church building and the like still live on to this day. We could say that the Ethiopian church is the legacy of both judahism and oriental orthodox christianity.

      Not only that. When it starts a clip of some University and then he takes off by saying Enoch is thousands and thousands of words, as to discourage people from reading it, it reminds me of the Roman Catholic High School i went to. There, the historical topic of the Sumerians and their theology was avoided like the plague.
      Is it because in Proverbs 30:4 kjv, king Solomon describes the God of the earth as the Sumerian Anunnaki deity Enki? Or is it because the Song Of Songs has so many similarities with the love poems written to commemorate the romance between Ishtar and Dumuzi?
      Does Solomon’s temple have a volume of 36,000 cubic cubits to refer to the 36,000 years Dumuzi reigned over the earth before the flood, as documented in the Sumerian Kings List?
      So,
      According to Sumerian texts, Enki is associated with the number 40, he is the god of wisdom, the God of the earth, credited with the creation of mankind, has a first earth born son named Dumuzi who has been delegated all rights and privileges that pertain to the number 40 and who is going to take over after Marduk, Enki’s oldest son. He was born on Nibiru.
      Anyway,
      Instead of starting by saying it’s a super interesting book and that even Jesus quoted from it, he is being an awful toss pot.

The Bible does in an instance or two quote popular culture or writings from the time in order to make a point, usually a negative point comparing what the people had heard or been taught versus what Jesus teaches.

    The book of Enoch is very good. I read it followed down the rabbit hole and eventually figured it out. There is five books in the series and the moral of the story is. The angles took human wife's which go told them they could not do God could not take care of it because of his duty station so he trained someone to run things for him Enoch. Enoch was human and had a wife a son the son had a wife and Enoch had a grandchild Noah. Enoch left all this behind to serve God. Moral of the story Enoch followed God and was found perfect. The training is outlined in the book and the angles did not follow God they were disobedient. God gave Noah the plans for the ark to be saved old testament.and Enoch returned home for a year after training to spend with his family and say goodbye because he couldn't come back. Then God took Enoch and made him the tetragrammaton. Then God went to deal with his disobedient angles. He shut the door of the ark. And it started to rain. The rest of history. In The end of the books were saved and left for all mankind for all generation's. The moral of the story is be obedient to God.

      Matt people have told you that the books of Enoch are ridiculous nonsense because that is a very resonable and sane appraisal of the content. 1) Enoch says the giants born of 5 foot human women were 450 feet high! That is impossible.
      2) even if we ignore the ridiculous content we are left with the lie of the authorship. a) The Flood occurred about 2500 BC. The Books even according to this video were written between 300 BC and 200 AD. b) Enoch is claimed to be the author BUT Enoch went to heaven according to Genesis 5 about 3000 BC and never returned. This is 500 years before the giants and the flood occurred. Enoch could not have written the books thus they are a lie. and there is no eyewitness accounts of evnts written 2000 years after they happened.
      3) Both Jews and Christians with the exception of the silly Ethiopians, BOTH rejected Enoch as scripture. It was never included in either the Old or New Testaments. It is trash and fiction that lies about its authorship. That is why it is out. The King James Bible had nothing to do with the exclusion.

As it only makes sense to include the short reference to Enoch in genesis if the story was already popularly known. It would be like the new testament referencing Moses, and then claiming the story of Moses was only invented afterward.

    Thank you! The book of enoch has interested me for a long while, but im not much of a reader. Not that im illiterate, but i dont have the attention span necessary to sit and read a book. I find myself reading the same paragraph over and over without absorbing any of the information. So thank you good sir.

      You are exactly the kind of Christian this gatekeeping unbeliever is targeting, to get you to dismiss it as fiction & worthless. Pray to be shown the Truth, & IN the Truth. The Lord's children have no need of a worthless "teacher" like this clown. "But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him." I John 2:27.

    The name Enoch reminds me of ENKI, the babylonian god of wisdom. Also I think that the stories dealing with angels, dualism etc. were influenced by zoroastrianism.

      Wel llet me tell you. Neither Book exists in any meaningful way. There are very short fragments of each based on one or two copies and pretty silly and know to be second century AD or later. They do not say what the internet liars say that they say. Yoiu can reead copies on line. Look for Gospel of Mary and Gospel of Peter. Both are trash and NOT written by Mary or Peter. Peter confirms the crucifixion and resurrection but with silly additions the author just made up. Mary is a fragment in the middle of a conversation that has zero context.

    Before I make this post I want to make a few things very crystal clear. I only learn from, believe in, want to know, am interested in the 66 books of the old and new testaments of the Bible. I have never read or studied or know anything about the book of Enoch. I know about as much about the book of Enoch as I do about civil engineering. Which is absolutely nothing other than the fact I have seen some videos pop up on youtube with the name and one friend who asked me if I knew of it. And that’s it. 100% honest, truthful, for real. No one has to believe me in what I’ve written or what I’m about to write. I am in no way saying that the book of Enoch is real or has anything to do with the 66 books that make up the old or new testament. I’m sincerely not interested in the book of Enoch. I might copy and paste part of this to another book of Enoch video but I’m wanting to fulfill what I was told to do in the best ways that I can. I have always loved scripture for about as far as I can remember. I have always wanted to know and study the word. Again only the 66 books of the Bible has been is and will be my interest. This is why I don’t understand what happened that lead me to come on here and write what I’m about to write. Im in no size shape or form writing this trying to gain attention or to be dramatic or to find a following or for any other reason that I’m just doing what I’ve been told to do.
    About two weeks ago. Around late May 2023 I was awoken by a loud (now when I say loud I mean LOUD, like earth shaking loud) sound / force of thunder. It was a rainy early morning and it was still dark outside. After the LOUD thunder I heard God’s voice in me. And his voice said this.
    “Tell the English speaking people that the book of Enoch is coming to be fulfilled.”
    I have no idea why this was told to me. I know the scriptures very very well and if someone is trying to tell me that it wasn’t God or that something else was telling this I’m not going to respond to that discussion. Read Deuteronomy 32:39 & Isaiah 45:5-12. As I said I know my scripture and that conversation isn’t open for discussion. Again not open for discussion and you will be ignored.
    It has taken me these last few weeks to figure out how to tell the English speaking people what I was told to tell.
    I am in no way making this up or trying to make anything up or writing this to bring attention to myself. I’m not making a over dramatized video of me crying or screaming telling this story trying to get views. I’m not condoning nor am I condemning the book of Enoch. I honestly don’t want to know about the book of Enoch. I want to make this crystal clear and to make that statement very simple and understandable. I am writing this message to follow out with what I was told to do and I can’t think of a better way to do so than on here where people are writing and reading in English and will be able to see this.

      The books themselves or also scholarly opinions as well? I'm a bit confused about your idea. There's quite obvious fabrications like the Gnostic gospels and the apocrypha. They don't follow scripture. They infact directly contradict the bible outright in the majority of the texts. Enoch however seems to follow the bible very closely and is the only "non canonical" text referenced multiple times let alone once in the old and new testament. Enoch 3 seems bunk but Enoch 1 and 2 seem to very closely follow scripture and fill voids in the texts where things aren't explained in depth and it talks heavily about the end times and the coming of Jesus. Jesus even quotes it. I don't know if I believe in Enoch personally but I lean towards it being real and canonical. If the bible is correct, then yes scripture will be destroyed and erased only leaving the memory of it in our heart and soul. So a conspiracy that Enoch was hidden by the people in power makes sense. They wouldn't want you to know about the stuff in Enoch and believe it. It talks a lot about how the governments of the world will be run by demon hybrids and how we'll all be enslaved and lied to by them. Enoch is super fascinating whether it's canonical or not. Give it a read yourself.

      It was not part of the Apocrypha (which was removed from KJV).
      Enoch does not mention the four horsemen nor the Seals, Trumpets and Viles which are the judgements of God in "end times"..

Although nerds can get really intense when talking/arguing about it, I find it hilarious how they can base their entire personality around it, talking nonstop about it, doing cosplay, what's canon and what's not, etc... If only they had better editors and sense of storytelling back then, and maybe not take it so literally! Nerds! I love it!
