Once considered to be of Christian origin because of its obvious references to Christ, ten fragments of The Book of Enoch have been found at Qumran in the Dead Sea Scrolls, it is known to have existed in its present form since at least the 2nd Century BC.
The book was believed to have been composed by Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah. Most critics and scholars believe it was begun in the second century BC and was a collection of works that includes writings for the first century BC as well. Some believe it contains the actual words of Enoch and that it was handed down through the ages. There is no real way to know for certain if that is so. The only thing we know for certain is that fragments of the book date back to the 2nd century BC.
It is generally believed that the Apostles and the writers of the New Testament were fully aware of the Book of Enoch also called 1 Enoch. In fact, it is directly quoted in the Bible:
Jude 1:14-15 “And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, {15} To execute judgment upon 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”
Been reading the Jerusalem Bible a couple of years . The book of Enoch is the same format . Enjoying this reading.Get ready for the end of the age . It is coming fast.
Love this now I can see why it has been taken out of the Bible to much to try and explain to those that aren’t ready to try and discover on their own. For me the Holy Spirit works through all writings of men and gives me the discernment of what to keep and what to discard!!!
Thank you for your service so we may read n enjoy the word of God daily any time anywhere Shalom
... part of the modern day Holy Bible - King James Version as this book is mentioned in the Old and New Testament. ”The Book of Enoch was considered as scripture in the Epistle of Barnabas (16:4) and by many of the early Church Fathers, such as Athenagoras, Clement of Alexandria, Irenaeus and Tertullian, who wrote c. 200 that the Book of Enoch had been rejected by the Jews because it contained prophecies pertaining to Christ.” Source Wikipedia
This is the first time I have ever read this book and I haven’t been able to have the time to study it yet but I will give a review later.
