#1 The Book of Enoch is an ancient book that contains a very clear supernatural interpretation of Genesis 6, with angelic Watchers mating with humans who birth giants that walk among us. It expands upon that view with a detailed story of how these Watchers influenced mankind with occultic revelations.

#2 The Old Testament mentions the patriarch Enoch only once, in Genesis 4:17, which describes how his city was named after him. He was the son of Jared, and the oldest man in the Bible. He lived 365 years, compared to the much longer time spans of those around him.

#3 The Book of Enoch is a collection of texts written by various authors around the period from 200 B. C. to about A. D. 200. They are either Jewish or Christian in origin, and they claim to contain God’s message.

#4 The Book of Enoch is an apocalyptic book that was written to comfort people who were suffering from contemporary oppression. It tells a detailed narrative of two hundred heavenly Watchers who rebel against God in heaven led by Semyaza and Azazel.

#1

The Book of Enoch is an ancient book that contains a very clear supernatural interpretation of Genesis 6, with angelic Watchers mating with humans who birth giants that walk among us. It expands upon that view with a detailed story of how these Watchers influenced mankind with occultic revelations.

#2

The Old Testament mentions the patriarch Enoch only once, in Genesis 4:17, which describes how his city was named after him. He was the son of Jared, and the oldest man in the Bible. He lived 365 years, compared to the much longer time spans of those around him.

#3

The Book of Enoch is a collection of texts written by various authors around the period from 200 B. C. to about A. D. 200. They are either Jewish or Christian in origin, and they claim to contain God’s message.

#4

The Book of Enoch is an apocalyptic book that was written to comfort people who were suffering from contemporary oppression. It tells a detailed narrative of two hundred heavenly Watchers who rebel against God in heaven led by Semyaza and Azazel. They come to earth on Mount Hermon, mate with human women, and produce bloodthirsty hybrid giants as their progeny.

#5

The Book of Parables is the oldest portion of Enochic texts, dating to about the end of the 1st century B. C. It is a recounting of Enoch’s cosmic journey and vision of judgment upon the fallen angels and their wicked human counterparts, juxtaposed against the elevation of the holy, the righteous, and the elect.

#6

The book of Enoch tells the story of the fall of the Watchers and their mating with humans, which produced defiled giant offspring. The book also elaborates on the personal exploits of the giants from their perspective.

#7

The book of Enoch may be interesting religious and spiritual storytelling, but it was not considered to be Scripture by any of the ancient traditions. The only manuscript collection that includes 1 Enoch as canonical is the Ethiopic canon of the Coptic Church, which was established in the 13th century A. D.

#8

The Christian Church arose within a milieu of Jewish apocalypticism, and Enochic texts and traditions had a great influence on Christian thought outside the New Testament. However, some skeptics were influenced by biases apart from Biblical arguments.

#9

The doctrine of the Inspiration of Scripture is not like the claims of Islam. We do not believe that the human authors simply recorded the words of God like secretaries taking audible dictation.
