> [@Robert](#): > > ### 20. The Book of Enoch > > **Jude 14–15** The first distinction is important: **“the Book of Enoch” usually means 1 Enoch** , not the later works called 2 Enoch and 3 Enoch. ## What 1 Enoch actually is It is not one continuous book written at one time. It is a collection of writings placed under Enoch’s name: 1. **The Book of the Watchers — chapters 1–36** 2. **The Parables or Similitudes — chapters 37–71** 3. **The Astronomical Book — chapters 72–82** 4. **The Dream Visions — chapters 83–90** 5. **The Epistle of Enoch — chapters 91–108** The different sections appear to have circulated independently before being combined. Ancient Aramaic fragments of several sections were found among the Dead Sea Scrolls. The complete form was preserved principally in the Ethiopic language, Geʽez. > **[The Ethiopic Book of Enoch - Outside the Old Testament](https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/abs/outside-the-old-testament/ethiopic-book-of-enoch/A17539961EF14B088E8EA07FEC354DAF)** > > Outside the Old Testament - January 1986 ## 1. The Book of the Watchers This is the part most directly connected with Genesis and Jude. Genesis 6:1–4 says: - the sons of God saw the daughters of men; - they took wives; - giants were in the earth; - these became mighty men of old. Genesis gives only a few verses. Enoch supplies an extensive account. According to 1 Enoch: - A group of heavenly Watchers descends to Mount Hermon. - They swear a mutual oath to take human women. - Their unions produce giants. - The Watchers teach forbidden knowledge. - Violence and corruption spread throughout the earth. - The giants destroy human beings and one another. - God orders the rebellious angels imprisoned. - The Flood removes the corruption from the earth. - The spirits of the dead giants continue as evil spirits. This makes Enoch a **full interpretation of Genesis 6** , not an unrelated story. ## 2. Forbidden knowledge The Watchers do more than take women. They reveal knowledge that Enoch presents as improperly given. The teachings include: - weapons and warfare; - metalworking for weapons and ornaments; - enchantments and sorcery; - astrology and signs of the heavens; - cosmetics and bodily ornamentation; - knowledge associated with roots and plants. The offense is therefore twofold: 1. Crossing the boundary between heavenly and earthly beings. 2. Giving humanity knowledge before, or outside the manner, God appointed. The book’s argument is not that all knowledge is evil. It is that **knowledge separated from rightful order becomes destructive power**. ## 3. Enoch as intermediary The rebellious Watchers ask Enoch to petition God for mercy. Enoch carries their request, but the answer is refusal. The angels were supposed to intercede for humanity; instead, they need a human being to intercede for them. That reversal is deliberate: ```auto Angels appointed over humanity ↓ Angels corrupt humanity ↓ Angels become subject to judgment ↓ A human prophet announces their sentence ``` Enoch is not merely shown visions. He becomes the scribe who records the judgment of heavenly beings. ## 4. The origin of evil spirits One of Enoch’s most consequential claims concerns demons. The fallen Watchers are imprisoned. Their giant children die. But the spirits proceeding from those giants remain upon the earth as evil spirits. That provides an explanation for demons that Genesis itself does not give. The sequence is: ```auto Watchers + women ↓ Giants ↓ Death of the giants ↓ Disembodied evil spirits ↓ Continuing oppression of humanity ``` The New Testament speaks frequently of unclean spirits and demons but does not stop to explain their origin. Enoch shows that at least some pre-Christian Jewish readers already possessed an established explanation. That does not prove every New Testament writer adopted every detail. It shows the conceptual world was already present. ## 5. The wandering stars Enoch sees stars that failed to follow their appointed courses and are imprisoned in darkness until judgment. Jude describes false teachers as: > “wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.” Read without Enoch, “wandering stars” sounds like a poetic insult. Read with Enoch, it means more: - they abandoned their assigned position; - they became cosmic rebels; - they are moving temporarily; - their destination is already appointed; - darkness is not merely their condition but their prison. Jude is applying the fate of rebellious heavenly beings to rebellious human teachers. ## 6. Jude’s direct quotation Jude 14–15 says: > “Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied…Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints…” That corresponds closely to 1 Enoch 1:9. This cannot reasonably be dismissed as Enoch borrowing from Jude. Aramaic manuscript fragments containing the Enoch material were found among the Dead Sea Scrolls and predate Jude. The Israel Antiquities Authority specifically identifies the connection between the Qumran Enoch fragment and Jude 14–15. > **[The Dead Sea Scrolls - B-284648](https://www.deadseascrolls.org.il/explore-the-archive/image/B-284648?locale=en_US)** > > The Leon Levy Dead Sea Scrolls Digital Library offers an exceptional encounter with antiquity. Using the > world's most advanced imaging technology, the Digital Library preserves thousands of scroll fragments, including the > oldest known copies... Jude does three distinct things: 1. He names Enoch. 2. He reproduces the Enochic saying. 3. He says Enoch “prophesied.” That is stronger than merely using a convenient illustration. ## 7. Does Jude canonize all of Enoch? The narrow answer is: **Jude explicitly validates the prophecy he quotes.** Jude does not say: - “The entire Book of Enoch is Scripture.” - “Every surviving Enoch manuscript is correct.” - “Enoch must be added to every biblical canon.” But neither does Jude permit the quotation to be dismissed as fiction. He calls it prophecy and builds his warning upon it. The safest hierarchy is: ```auto Certain: Jude quotes Enochic material. Certain: Jude calls the quoted statement prophecy. Highly probable: Jude also assumes the Watchers framework elsewhere in the letter. Not established by Jude alone: Every chapter of the surviving 1 Enoch collection is inspired. ``` ## 8. Was Enoch rejected everywhere? No. The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church includes Enoch in its Old Testament canon and credits the Ethiopic tradition with preserving the complete work. Its official canonical list places “Enoch” immediately after Jubilees. > **[The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church](https://www.ethiopianorthodox.org/english/canonical/books.html)** Therefore, saying “Enoch is not in the Bible” is too broad. The accurate statement is: - It is not in the Jewish Tanakh. - It is not in the Roman Catholic canon. - It is not in the Eastern Orthodox standard canon. - It is not in the Protestant canon or the 1611 KJV Apocrypha. - It is canonical in the Ethiopian Orthodox tradition. The gate is different depending upon which ancient Christian tradition is standing before it. ## 9. Was the Genesis Enoch the physical author? The surviving 1 Enoch is generally understood by scholars as a collection written and developed over time, not a single document demonstrably handwritten by the antediluvian Enoch. That conclusion comes from: - its multiple sections; - differing subjects and literary forms; - evidence that parts circulated separately; - historical references belonging to later periods; - manuscript evidence from the centuries before Christ. The oldest Enochic sections are still ancient—some appear to reach into the third or second century B.C.—but that is much later than the lifetime assigned to Enoch in Genesis. > **[The Invention of Traditions: Jewish and Christian Apocrypha (One) - Death and...](https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/death-and-the-afterlife-in-byzantium/invention-of-traditions-jewish-and-christian-apocrypha/4956D8DF20941467AE8D5B296F472CAF)** > > Death and the Afterlife in Byzantium - December 2016 This does not settle whether the writings preserve older traditions attributed to Enoch. It means the surviving literary collection cannot simply be assumed to be Enoch’s original untouched manuscript. ## 10. The “Son of Man” in the Parables The Parables of Enoch present an exalted figure called: - the Chosen One; - the Righteous One; - the Anointed One; - the Son of Man. He sits in judgment, exposes kings and rulers, vindicates the righteous and participates in final judgment. This is important because the New Testament repeatedly applies “Son of man” to Jesus. The comparison must remain controlled: - Enoch proves that exalted “Son of Man” language existed in ancient Jewish apocalyptic thought. - It helps explain the conceptual background in which New Testament readers heard the title. - It does not prove that the Gospels merely copied Enoch. - It does not prove that every Son of Man saying has exactly the same meaning as the Enochic figure. The Parables are also the section whose dating and manuscript history remain most debated because they were not among the clearly identified Aramaic Enoch fragments recovered at Qumran. > **[On Subsidiary Works, Absent and Present from our Documents (Chapter 1) - The...](https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/abs/apocalypse-of-the-birds/on-subsidiary-works-absent-and-present-from-our-documents/0F1BF88894917CEF8D4F829212E8B504)** > > The Apocalypse of the Birds - July 2023 ## 11. Enoch’s larger picture of sin Genesis emphasizes human wickedness before the Flood. Enoch adds heavenly rebellion. The combined picture is: ```auto Human beings choose wickedness + Heavenly beings violate their estate + Forbidden power is introduced + Violence fills the earth = Judgment by the Flood ``` Enoch does not remove human responsibility. It expands the field of responsibility. Evil is shown as: - personal; - social; - technological; - spiritual; - governmental; - cosmic. That larger field resembles the New Testament language of principalities, powers, rulers of darkness and spiritual wickedness in high places. ## 12. What Enoch gives the reader Enoch supplies an ancient framework for subjects only briefly stated in the ordinary Protestant Bible: - the sons of God in Genesis 6; - the Watchers; - the Nephilim and giants; - the imprisonment of rebellious angels; - the possible origin of demons; - heavenly books and records; - cosmic order; - judgment of angels; - places where souls await judgment; - the coming of the Lord with holy ones; - the exalted Son of Man; - resurrection and final judgment; - why Jude describes false teachers as wandering stars. That does not make Enoch a replacement for Genesis, Daniel, Jude or Revelation. It makes Enoch an important surviving witness to **the religious world in which those writings were read**. The central question is therefore not simply, “Is Enoch in my canon?” It is: How much of the biblical world was left in the shadow of darkness when the writings known to its original readers were removed from view? King James adherents don’t realize they were robbed of 1/3 of the original 1611 when the apocrypha was removed The 1611 Bible had three parts: 1. Old Testament 2. Apocrypha 3. New Testament Remove one part and **one-third is missing**. Thats not including the OP named and missing books, if we only count books 1. 80 books in the complete 1611 volume 2. 15 additional named writings 3. **95 identifiable books or written sources** 4. 66 retained in the common reduced KJV 5. **29 absent** 6. **29 of 95 = about 30.5% missing by title/source count** Whether you calculate one way or another you’re missing important and valuable “knowledge” a single missing verse > **[Bible Gateway passage: 1 John 5:7 - King James Version](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20John%205%3A7&version=KJV)** > > For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. can exclude the Father, the Trinity and introduce water as a heavenly person of which you only get an agreement not a claim of Trinity, > **[Bible Gateway passage: 1 John 5:8 - New International Version](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20John%205%3A8&version=NIV)** > > the Spirit, the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement. Replacing the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost with the Spirit, water, and blood is like replacing the three branches of government with a statute, a legal precedent, and an executive order. The latter may bear witness to government action, but they are not the government’s three governing branches. Likewise, “these three agree” is not the same claim as “these three are one.” So if we are missing 15+ books and one verse is impactful then…what are we possibly missing in 15+ other books??? Er, maybe, we’re not really missing it, so much as, we’re missing it [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/GeAcikP5N7M/maxresdefault.jpg "They Live (1988) - The Power Elite Scene (8/10) | Movieclips") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeAcikP5N7M) [https://sixguns.com/t/truth-stranger-than-fiction-data-centers/2396](https://sixguns.com/t/truth-stranger-than-fiction-data-centers/2396) They live, all about the glasses and seeing? > **[Bible Gateway passage: Isaiah 6:9 - King James Version](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah%206%3A9&version=KJV)** > > And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. > **[Bible Gateway passage: Matthew 13:13 - King James Version](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2013%3A13&version=KJV)** > > Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
