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.

It makes sense that Sadducees who were more concerned about preserving tradition rejected the supernatural, therefore Enoch would have been disqualified simply because it alluded to the supernatural. Interesting presentation

[@johnbreitmeier3268]

You completely misunderstood. 1) It was the Pharisees who became the rabbis not the Sadducees and that excluded the books of Enoch from the Old Testament simply because they were trash written 2000 years after the events. 2) The Sadducees were the Aaronic priests and the Hasmoeen nobles (also priestly clans ) who objected to the Pharisees adding the Talmud to the Torah as a second set of laws that pushed out the preist hood. 3) The Rabbis were allPharisees and mostrly Judeans, not of the tribe of Levi. THEY set the Old Testament canon.

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.

[@tedted7166]

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.

A spin off? Im sure when I looked into this years ago it was said that - it was a book that was always meant to be in the bible, but it was one of the parts that was extracted by higher religious authorities (popes etc) and was kept in the Vatican Archives for most of the time. Only in recent years has it been released and widely known. So more like a deleted scene / chapter, not spin off. Please not when I say "recent years" I dont mean a few or ten, I mean recent years in "lifetime / generation" terms.

Not really. 1 and 2 Enoch were always in the Ethiopian Bibles, both Christian (Tewahedo Orthodox) and Jewish (Beta Israel); it's just that very early on in both Christianity and Rabbinical Judaism, there was fierce debate over their authenticity and canonicity, as recorded in the Babylonian Talmud, for example, and so they got chopped by most denominations. That said, later groups did consider them heretical, which is likely why so few copies from after a certain point outside of Ethiopia survive. He talks about all this in the video.

Wait, why would Idris be associated with Enoch? Idris is a cognate of the Greco-Roman Esdras, and this would then make him Ezra, Nehemiah's predecessor and the "New Moses" of apocalyptic literature. In 4 Esdras he was also taken up to heaven without dying just like Enoch.

[@andrewsuryali8540]

@Aki ra I know what it is NOW to CONTEMPORARY Muslims and Western scholars. What I'm saying is that it's weird that a name which is cognate with Esdras is now associated with Enoch. I'm proposing the hypothesis that the Idris tradition in Islam probably came from the Esdras literature (contributing the origin of the name) originally transmitted from the Syriac tradition from which Muhammad derived his early teachings, but evolved into an associatiom with the more famous Enoch through the Muslims' later association with the Ethiopians.

[@andrewsuryali8540]

​@Aki ra No, BECAUSE Enoch is not prominent in Syriac tradition, Idris most likely didn't reference Enoch originally. Esdras, on the other hand, is mentioned in the Syriac tradition and revered as a Patriarch (because he preceded Nehemiah, the restorer of the Jews). The books of Esdras survive in the Syriac tradition. Muhammad inherited the teachings of Bahira the Nestorian (Syriac Christian) monk, so the Idris tradition probably came from Syriac Christianity and was originally associated with the Books of Esdras. The Enoch tradition, like you yourself said, was preserved largely in the Ethiopian tradition. That's why the association of Idris with Enoch probably came later during the Muslims' self-exile in Ethiopia. Esdras and Enoch are very similar in that both have apocalyptic visions and were taken up to heaven without dying. That may have been the source of the confusion in the Islamic tradition.

[@andrewsuryali8540]

@Aki ra The Muslims were very close with the Ethiopians for the first 3 centuries of their existence, from the time of the Muslim self-exile to Ethiopia when the Neguste Nagast gave Muslims special dispensation and protection in his realm. He was impressed by the Muslim ode to Mary and thought they were a form of minority Christian sect being persecuted by the then-pagan Arabs. His descendants ultimately regretted this decision, but for the first three centuries of Muslim expansion they were welcome in Ethiopia. This is why large swaths of the former Abyssinian empire like Eritrea and Somalia have very old Islamic communities and deep roots. Muhammad HIMSELF claimed that he learned under the sage Bahira, a Nestorian (Syriac Christian) monk who told him he would become a prophet (actually rasul, meaning apostle) for his people.

Book of Enoch - Authorship Contrary to popular belief, the ancients were and still are super intelligent. Perhaps more so than us, especially since some of them are angels now. 📜 Enoch himself declares the authorship of his book in the very first sentence of the writing: [Chapter 1] 1 The words of the blessing of Enoch, wherewith he blessed the elect and righteous, who will be 2 living in the day of tribulation, when all the wicked and godless are to be removed. 👀 Enoch lives with God and the holy Angels who ascend & descend upon the earth every day about the Lord's business- do you really think that the heavenly ones are stupid so as to get the name of one of heavens most important writings wrong? 📜 Enoch himself declares: [Chapter 19] 1 And Uriel said to me: 'Here shall stand the angels who have connected themselves with women, and their spirits assuming many different forms are defiling mankind and shall lead them astray into sacrificing to demons as gods, (here shall they stand,) till the day of the great judgement in 2 which they shall be judged till they are made an end of. And the women also of the angels who 3 went astray shall become sirens.' And I, Enoch, alone saw the vision, the ends of all things: and no man shall see as I have seen. AND NO MAN SHALL SEE AS I HAVE SEEN 📖 The Book of Enoch was written before the flood and is specifically addressed to people who will be alive in the last days during the tribulation.

Another point about the mention of Enoch in Genesis: It is indeed a very evocative bit of text, because it stands in contrast to its context. This verse about Enoch being taken by God appears within a pretty boring and very formulaic genealogical sequence. Compare the verses about Enoch's father, Jared, which follow the formula for the whole chapter, to the verses about Enoch: "And Jared lived an hundred sixty and two years, and he begat Enoch: And Jared lived after he begat Enoch eight hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: And all the days of Jared were nine hundred sixty and two years: and he died." "And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah: And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years: And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him." Enoch is the 7th in a chain of 10 generations from Adam to Noah, and he's the only one to break the pattern. He doesn't just live; he "walks with God", and he doesn't just die, he gets taken by God (also, at a much younger age than the others). That passage does suggest there was some tradition about Enoch that the Genesis text hints at. That said, couldn't it be the case that this unusual bit of text in Genesis 5 is a late edit, reflecting the tradition recorded in the Book of Enoch itself?

Enoch must have been an established figure before the writing of Genesis. There's no way they just offhandedly remarked that "God took him" without the reader being expected to already know the full story.

[@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.

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.

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.

God called Ezekial "son of man" numerous times as well, so the same context given to Enoch shouldn't be all that controversial.

[@THATxONExGUY14]

@Magi ಠ_ಠ uhhh?

[@joemachunda]

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. He is the savior.

[@prod.mohomid]

i wouldn't prioritize reading those works. especially not over reading the cannon bible daily. if you are just reading them for fun or whatever then it doesn't really matter. but you shouldn't confuse these strange works as divinely inspired. the idea that enoch is the son of man is insanely heretical and goes against the fundamentals of christianity established in nicea 1.

[@johnbreitmeier3268]

@@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.

The fact that Enoch is noted in only a couple of verses in the OT suggests to me that Enoch literature was well developed before or contemporaneously with Genesis, rather than composed long after the OT.

[@NieroshaiTheSable]

Genesis is itself a derivative work, and believed by some to be really young, so it wouldn't be surprising for it to reference Enoch. It would also mean being older than Genesis is not itself proof that Enoch was a foundational early Hebrew document.

[@lucifer2b666]

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.

[@mimi45945]

@@lucifer2b666 The problem with the book of enoch is that the messianic figure is enoch not Jesus Christ, I believe this is why its considered Gnostic text. 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".. I suppose it boils down to which book you believe, personally I believe the book of Revelation for end times prophecies.
