New Perspectives on 2 Enoch, 2012
Book of Enoch
Evidence of authenticity 📜 Enoch (the great grandfather of Noah) is mentioned in the Canonical Old and New Testaments of the bible. The manuscript that Enoch wrote is also quoted extensively in the Canonical Old and New Testament of the bible: 📖 Genesis 5:24 (Canonical Old Testament) "Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away..." 📖 Hebrews 11:5 (Canonical New Testament) "By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death: 'He could not be found, because God had taken him away.' For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God..." 📖 Jude 1:6 & 1:14-15 (Canonical New Testament) "And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness to the judgment of the great day..." "...And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of his saints, to execute judgment on all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him..." ✔ The Book of Enoch was a household book in Israel at the time of Jesus. The story of the fallen angels that Jude quotes from in these verses comes from the Book of Enoch, just as Jude himself declares. 📜 Enoch is mentioned in the Deuterocanonical (Second Cannon) Old Testament of the bible too: 📖 Sirach 44:16 (Deutercanonical Old Testament) "Enoch pleased the Lord, and was translated, being an example of repentance to all generations..." 📖 Sirach 49:14 (Deutercanonical Old Testament) "Upon the earth was no man created like Enoch; for he was taken from the earth..." 📜 Enoch's writings are also mentioned in some of the Apocryphal manuscripts, for example: 📖 Second Book of Adam and Eve 22:1-2 (Apocryphal Old Testament) "Enoch kept the commandment of Jared his father, and continued to minister in the cave. It is this Enoch to whom many wonders happened, and who also wrote a celebrated book; but those wonders may not be told in this place..." 📖 The Book of Jubilees 4:17-19 (Apocryphal Old Testament) "He [Enoch] was the first among men that are born on earth who learnt writing and knowledge and wisdom and who wrote down the signs of heaven according to the order of their months in a book, that men might know the seasons of the years according to the order of their separate months. And he was the first to write a testimony and he testified to the sons of men among the generations of the earth, and recounted the weeks of the jubilees, and made known to them the days of the years, and set in order the months and recounted the Sabbaths of the years as we made (them), known to him. And what was and what will be he saw in a vision of his sleep, as it will happen to the children of men throughout their generations until the day of judgment; he saw and understood everything, and wrote his testimony, and placed the testimony on earth for all the children of men and for their generations..." 📖 Book of Enoch 68:1-2 (Apocryphal Old Testament) Noah: "And after that my [great] grandfather Enoch gave me the teaching of all the secrets in the book in the Parables which had been given to him, and he put them together for me in the words of the book of the Parables..." 📖 Book of Enoch 82:1 (Apocryphal Old Testament) Enoch: "And now, my son Methuselah, all these things I am recounting to thee and writing down for thee! and I have revealed to thee everything, and given thee books concerning all these: so preserve, my son Methuselah, the books from thy father's hand, and (see) that thou deliver them to the generations of the world..." 📖 Book of Enoch 108:1-2 (Apocryphal Old Testament) "Another book which Enoch wrote for his son Methuselah and for those who will come after him, and keep the law in the last days..." 📖 The Testaments of The Twelve Patriarchs - The Testament of Simeon 5:3-4 (Apocryphal Old Testament) "Beware, therefore, of fornication, For fornication is mother of all evils, Separating from God, and bringing near to Beliar. For I have seen it inscribed in the writing of Enoch that your sons shall be corrupted in fornication..." 📖 The Testaments of The Twelve Patriarchs - The Testament of Levi 10:5 (Apocryphal Old Testament) "For the house which the Lord shall choose shall be called Jerusalem, as is contained in the book of Enoch the righteous..." 📖 The Testaments of The Twelve Patriarchs - The Testament of Benjamin 9:1 (Apocryphal Old Testament) "And I believe that there will be also evil-doings among you, from the words of Enoch the righteous: that ye shall commit fornication with the fornication of Sodom, and shall perish, all save a few, and shall renew wanton deeds with women; and the kingdom of the Lord shall not be among, you, for straightway He shall take it away..." 📖 Epistle of Barnabas 4:3 (Apocryphal New Testament) "The tribulation being made perfect is at hand, concerning which it is written, as Enoch saith, for to this purpose the Lord hath cut short the times and the days, that his beloved might make haste and come into his inheritance..." ✔ By this then, it is evident that the manuscript was transported through the hands of Noah on the Ark. Along with other treasures, like the garments of Adam which Ham stole from his father afterwards. 📜 The Book of Enoch is thousands of years old, and arguably the most concise ancient text given to mankind by God about the generations of the world before it happened. With an introduction that is addressed to the people who will be alive in the last days: 📖 The Book of Enoch 1:1-3 (Apocryphal Old Testament) "The words of the blessing of Enoch, wherewith he blessed the elect and righteous, who will be living in the day of tribulation, when all the wicked and godless are to be removed. And he took up his parable and said - Enoch a righteous man, whose eyes were opened by God, saw the vision of the Holy One in the heavens, which the angels showed me, and from them I heard everything, and from them I understood as I saw, but not for this generation, but for a remote one which is for to come..." 📖 The Book of Enoch 19:3 (Apocryphal Old Testament) "I, Enoch, alone saw the vision, the ends of all things: and no man shall see as I have seen..."

The first book of Enoch, renumbered and divided line-by-line for readers to reasoning therein. An expanded version of the Book of Lamech, which was the expanded version of the Book of Giants. The book of Giants was among the oldest books in the world, if not the oldest book in the world, from the days before Noah was born.
Many Christians are afraid to attribute truth value to ancient books outside the canon of the Bible. They fear that somehow the authority of Scripture will be compromised or worse, other texts may be falsely considered as Scripture. The book of 1 Enoch is one of those controversial books that has a long history of squabbling over its veracity and influence on Bible interpretation. This paper will be an introduction to the ancient book of 1Enoch, its content, its history, its affirmation in the New Testament, and its acceptance and rejection by the Christian Church.

Chapters 1-36 The Parable of Enoch Introduction to the Book of Enoch We first learn of Enoch in Genesis 5 but it leaves us with questions. Hebrews 11 has the answers and Jude quotes Enoch! How did Jude come to know the words of Enoch? They are not in the Scriptures. The answer is Yes, is The Book of Enoch. A book which is actually quoted not only by Jude, but also James the natural brother of YAHSHUA. The quote in (Jude 14-15) & (1 Enoch 1:9) is as follows: "In the seventh (generation) from Adam Enoch also prophesied these things, saying: 'Behold, the Sovereign came with his kodesh myriads, to execute judgment on all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in such an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners spoke against him'." What is the Book of Enoch and where did it come from? Enoch was the grandfather of Noah. The Book of Enoch chapter 68:1 "And after that my grandfather Enoch gave me all the secrets in the book and in the parables which had been given to him, and he put them together for me in the words of the book of the parables." This makes it possible for the Book to have survived the flood as its not too hard to accept that Noah would have taken his Great Grandfathers writings with him onto the ark. The Book of Enoch was extant centuries before the birth of YAHSHUA Messiah and yet is considered by many to be more Messianic in its theology than Jewish. It was considered scripture by many early Messianic Assemblies. The earliest literature of the so-called "Messianic Fathers" is filled with references to this mysterious book. The early second century "Epistle of Barnabus" makes much use of the Book of Enoch. Second and Third Century men like Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, Origin and Clement of Alexandria all make use of the Book of Enoch. Tertullian (160-230 C.E) even called the Book of Enoch "Holy Scripture". The Ethiopic Church even added the Book of Enoch to its official canon. It was widely known and read the first three centuries after YAHSHUA Messiah. This and many other books became discredited after the Council of Laodicea. And being under ban of the authorities, afterwards it gradually passed out of circulation. At about the time of the Protestant Reformation, there came to be a renewed interest in the Book of Enoch which had long since been lost to the modern world. By the late 1400's rumors began to spread that somewhere a copy of the long lost Book of Enoch might still exist. During this time many books arose claiming to be the long lost book and were later found to be forgeries. The return of the long lost Book of Enoch to the modern western world is credited to the famous explorer James Bruce, who in 1773 returned from six years in Abyssinia with three Ethiopic copies of the lost book. In 1821 Richard Laurence published the first English translation. The famous R.H. Charles edition was published in 1912. In the following years several portions of the Greek text surfaced. Then with the discovery of cave 4 of the Dead Sea Scrolls, seven fragmentary copies of the Aramaic text were discovered. The Book of Enoch is divided into five basic parts, but it is the The Book of Parables (37-71) which gives scholars the most trouble for it is primarily concerned with a figure called "the messiah"; "the righteous one"; "the chosen one" and "the son of man." Chapter 46:1-2 [1] There I beheld the Ancient of days whose head was like white wool, and with him another, whose countenance resembled that of a man. His countenance was full of majesty, like that of one of the kodesh angels. Then I inquired of one of the angels, who went with me, and who showed me every secret thing, concerning this Son of man; who he was; whence he was; and why he accompanied the Ancient of days. [2] He answered and said to me, This is the Son of man, to whom righteousness belongs; with whom righteousness has dwealt; and who will reveal all the treasures of that which is concealed: for YAHWEH of spirits has chosen him; and his portion has surpassed all before YAHWEH of spirits in everlasting uprightness."
