What is the Book of Enoch?

The book of Enoch, often called 1 Enoch, is an apocryphal scripture that has had a profound impact on Second Temple Judaism and Early Christian theology. The book of Enoch tells the tails of the many visionary and apocalyptic visions that the biblical figure Enoch experiences as he travels through the glories of heaven and the terrors of the underworld.

Enoch, a character that can be found in the book of Genesis in the Old Testament, is the star of this ancient non-canonical text. Enoch encounters the evil Watchers and the frightening giants called Nephilim. The book of 1 Enoch is quoted by Jude in the New Testament, was found among the Dead Sea Scrolls, and is still considered scripture and is part of the Bible in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. 1 Enoch even references many sayings often associated with Jesus, like the "Son of Man" and "The pre-existent Savior." The book of Enoch is one of the most fascinating works in all of ancient literature.

I've seen several videos on the book of Enoch and found this video to be one of the most well done on the topic. Very impressive and great storytelling. I find the person of Enoch to be quite fascinating and how the myths that evolved around him grew more intense as time went on.

Yessss, my Fiancé and I were talking last night about The Book of Enoch and here you go making a Video! Thanks for the Knowledge! 😅😅

[laurensdehaan]

Thanks for your analysis of this work. Absolutely I'd be interested in the views of other cultures on Enoch!

[davidbarrett]

Really good. The person who said you are under-rated is very right! Your material is excellently presented and easilly absorbed. I would love to have a presentation on Enoch as a character!

[patbilek]

Does anyone else think they should make a TV show out of this? This sounds WAY more intense than Game of Thrones. I'd watch it all day!

[thereligionfanatic]

This is one of the best and most enjoyable videos on 1 Enoch that I have ever seen. Very well done!

[Jesusfreak]

Yes please! Would love to see more on Enoch!!!

I love the different dream visions. I think part of it is it feels like something that can be closely related to things we may have today. Often time, the miracles or visits (like Paul/Saul) seems like such distant events, but dreams are things we all do. So, I always find the dream meanings and such so interesting! I also love me a good Nephilim story!

Another great video! You do so much research and it shows!

For some reason I'm very fascinated by the Book of Enoch. I'd love more content from you on it! I would really love more. Anything about it you find interesting, please make a video about it, I'll watch it all.

Enoch was heavily taught in the denomination that I grew up in. It scared the crap out of me as a child. It’s definitely not an obscure book; charismatic protestants will use it to affirm certain doctrine in the New Testament. I enjoyed learning about Enoch but I have to say I am happy to be out of the religion I was so heavily influenced by.

Would be interested in a vid on Enoch 2 & 3. Excellent video BTW!

[aubreyleonae]

I'd love to learn more about Enoch, he's a hard character to get good information about.

[cindyanddan]

Very nice video. Nicely done! We’d love to hear more.

[MultiArchangel]

The book of Enoch is the inspired word of God. Anyone that says otherwise is wrong.

[nicolesarah]

[TheZINGularity]

You deserve leagues more views & subscribers comrade.

[janetmcfarland]

Please tell me more about Enoch I would love to read more about him

[evelynschommer]

You do a great job on presenting the history on the book of Enoch. I’m glad as a believer I know the Bible to be true and everything in it. All that should’ve been in it was - because that is how God wanted it. But I did find very interesting the history and thought you did an excellent job! In the first five minutes explaining why individuals might have wrote these stories. I am very impressed on how much history is provided!

your channel is so underrated, you and religion for breakfast should do a collab!
