The Book of Enoch is an invaluable resource for all who are
interested in the origins of Christianity. It was known and used by
the earliest churches and sheds light on many concepts found in the
New Testament, such as demonology, future judgment, the Messiah and
the Messianic Kingdom, the title 'Son of Man' and the resurrection.
This new edition of R. H. Charles's classic translation includes a
substantial new introduction by Paula Gooder.
'The Book of Enoch the Prophet' is the oldest known mystical
document in existence, dating back to the second century BCE. It
reveals a vision of a new age of heaven on earth that figures in
esoteric and occult practices.
Enoch's apocryphal work from the 2nd century B.C. introduced such
concepts as fallen angels, resurrection, and last judgement. It
exercised a powerful influence on early Christians, particularly
the Gnostics. This title offers the definitive translation.
Enoch was the grandfather of Noah, and received visions and dreams
from a Divine Source, giving him insight and prophecy into the
Great Flood, the Messianic Age, and the end of times, the Great
Apocylpse. Most recently, the Book of Enoch has come to the
attention of UFO researchers; Enoch's description of the Fallen
Angels, and their unholy and lawless union with women, and their
Nephillim offspring, bears an eery and undeniable parallel to the
alleged alien hybridization program, and also with conspiracy
theories concerning the Reptilian nature of the ruling elite.
The apocryphal Book of Enoch, suppressed by the Church and then
lost for many centuries, is believed to have been written in the
first century or earlier. This edition-translated by British
biblical scholar R. H. CHARLES (1855-1931) and first published in
1917-tells the story of the fallen angels, who appeal to Enoch the
Prophet, great-grandson of Noah, to speak with God on their behalf
after He banishes them from heaven. Enoch travels to heaven,
describing what he sees there in detail, and speaks with the angels
and ponders their nature. The book, in its original Hebrew or
Aramaic, is believed to have influenced the writers of the New
Testament, and while not considered canonical scripture, its
apocalyptic themes continue to be highly influential today in
modern popular Christian End Times fantasy, such as the Left Behind
series. Students of the Bible who wish to explore related texts and
those interested in foundational apocalyptic literature will find
this book essential reading.
"As the 'Book of Enoch' is, in some respects, the most notable
extant apocalyptic work outside the canonical Scriptures, it will
not be inappropriate to offer a few remarks here on the Apocalyptic
Literature generally. Hope is, indeed, the main underlying
motive-power which prompted the writers of the Apocalypses. And
this hope is the more intensive and ardent in that it shines forth
from a background which is dark with despair; for the Apocalyptists
despaired of the world in which they lived, a world in which the
godly were of no account, while the wicked seemed too often
triumphant and prosperous. With evil everywhere around, the
Apocalyptists saw no hope for the world as it was; for such a world
there was no remedy, only destruction; if the good were ever to
triumph it must be in a new world."-From the Introduction.
