(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, 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. (1 Enoch 1.9) - And behold! He comes with ten thousand Holy Ones; to execute judgment upon them and to destroy the impious, and to contend with all flesh concerning everything that the sinners and the impious have done and wrought against Him. Yet and still, a grain of spiritual salt must be used when interacting with the Books of Enoch because far too many humans of ill intent and misguided understandings have had opportunity to influence the text. This is the same caution that must be taken will all books of any type, religious or not. 3 Enoch might be said to be the most unreliable since it admits authorship by a human during the first century CE (AD). However, this authorship is no less invalid than that of the JC Bible. The writer of 3 Enoch, Rabbi Ishmael, claims to have gained this information through a vision in which he was taken up into the heavens and shown these things. This is the same claim as other humans claiming to be holy and inspired by God. At a minimum, the Books of Enoch, along with Book of Jasher and several others mentioned in the JC Bible, but whose scriptures are not included, are equal in weight and value to the JC Bible. Each of these books, as studied so far, have provided valuable additional information and insight to help clear up some confusions and contradictions, plus make even more certain those things that are superhuman which are mistaken for human, plus make even more certain those areas where outright lies (trickery of truth) exist. Truth be told more whole, everyone is inspired by some form of God. All of our thoughts and actions are always inspired by God. And so it is with all creations. God is the only Spirit, thus the only Energy, thus the only Force with us that powers all motion.
Further Details Regarding The Books Of Enoch
1 Enoch –(The First Book of Enoch or Enoch 1) has five sections. Written by Enoch... of Seth except where noted. (NG2 322) a) The Book of the Watchers (1 Enoch 1 – 36). b) The Book of Parables of Enoch (1 Enoch 37 – 71) (Also called the Similitudes of Enoch). Portions written by Noah* c) The Astronomical Book (1 Enoch 72 – 82) (Also called the Book of the Heavenly Luminaries or Book of Luminaries). d) The Book of Dream Visions (1 Enoch 83 – 90) (Also called the Book of Dreams). e) The Epistle of Enoch (1 Enoch 91 – 108). f) *By Enoch (1 Enoch 60.1, 65.1-4, 81.5)*By Noah (37.1-2, 65.4 thru Chapter 71, 68.1). Enoch wrote Chapters 37-71; however, Noah is retelling the story. Noah speaks in his own voice at times and also presents the information in the voice of Enoch. This switches several times. This is not different from what all of us are always doing. Repeating information and stories in our own voice while sometimes referring to an earlier source. 2 Enoch – (The Second Book of Enoch or Enoch 2 or Slavonic Enoch or The Book of the Secrets of Enoch). Written by Enoch... of Seth and/or Cain.
a) I begat my son Mathusal (Methuselah).[not sure about “Methuselah” being added in parenthesis, could be human inference error. I suspect, the first Enoch has a son called Mathusal/Mathusalah, then the Second Enoch begat Methuselah, thus the order of the books is 2 Enoch, 1 Enoch, 3 Enoch] The early events described in 1 Enoch and 2 Enoch supports either being first; however, 2 Enoch seems more foundational to the early formation of heaven and its contents.
This might be corroborated by Adam and Eve not being mentioned until (2 Enoch 30.13-17), as if 1 Enoch is not the beginning of the story. b) Throughout the book of 1 Enoch, Enoch calls his son Methuselah. Then in 2 Enoch it changes to Mathusal, Methosalam and Mathosalam. In parenthesis is (Methuselah) but I suspect this is the work of a later translator, compiler or editor. Why spell your son's name three different ways in 2 Enoch, then in each instance, clarity it with Methuselah in parenthesis? This opens the possibility to 2 Enoch being written by Enoch of Cain. There has to be some way for the lineage of Seth and Cain to rejoin. The closeness of the names in their lineage suggest they are forms of each other. 2 Enoch 68.1 states Enoch ascended at age 365, came back and stayed for 30 days and ascended again. This indicates two lifetimes on Earth for Enoch. In 2 Enoch 1,11 and 57.2, additional sons of Enoch are mentioned. Sons are Mathusal/Mathosalam/Methosalam, Regim, Riman, Uchan, Chermion, Gaidad). This will continue to be explored. 3 Enoch – (The Third Book of Enoch or Enoch 3 or The Book of the Palaces, The Book of Rabbi Ishmael the High Priest or The Revelation of Metatron). Rabbi Ishmael Ben Elisha. Written by R. Ishmael Ben Elisha The High Priest a) Possible Relationships Of Rabbi Ishmael Ben Elisha, the High Priest: b) (3 Enoch 2.3) Ishmael...of (Aaron the chief priest & Elisheba) of (Amram & Jochebed, his aunt) of Kohath of Levi of (Jacob Israel & Leah). Elisheba of Amminadab of Ram of Hezron of Pharez of Judah (& Tamar). Elisheba and Amminadab similar in form to Elisha, Elishama and Ammihud (Exodus 6:23) c) Rabbi Ishmael Ben Elisha of Elisha of Enoch ….of Seth d) (Brothers: Nun, Rabbi Ishmael Ben Elisha ) (of Elishama, King Talmai of Geshur Aram Syria) of Ammihud of Laadan of Tahan of Telah of Resheph of Beriah of Ephraim of Joseph & Asenath of (Jacob & Rachel), This would make Rabbi Ishmael, the uncle of Joshua Jesus of Nun. e) Ishmael of Nethaniah, of Elishama, of the seed royal who helped kill Gedaliah of Ahikam of Shaphan of Azaliah of Meshullam...of Levi or Benjamin. Gedaliah was made governor of Judah by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. Gedaliah was killed because he told the Judaeans to just go ahead and serve the Babylonians. (2 Kings 25) Two Elishamas/Elishua of King David. Or Elishama of Jekamiah of Shallum of Sisamai of Eleasah of Helez of Azariah of Jehu of Obed of Ephlal of Zabad of Nathan of Attai of (Egyptian servant Jarha & daughter of Sheshan) of Ishi of Appaim of Nadab of Shammai of Onam of (Jerahmeel & Atarah) of Hezron of (Pharez, Zerah) of (Judah & Tamar) (1 Chronicles 2-3; 14)
The seed royal could also be of Ammihud since one of his sons was King.
Enoch is Metatron
When it's all said and done, the Books of Enoch were still written by God, because Enoch is Metatron which is a name of the Angel sent by God to teach Rabbi Ishmael. (3 Enoch 1.4 and 4.1-2), (3 Enoch 48 Alt 1.1) References:Various,”The Books of Enoch,”Referred To In Jude 1:14-15, (2010)
