THE BOOK OF ENOCH PART TWO
BY DR. HEISER
ENOCH WAS PRODUCED DURING
THE INTER TESTAMENT PERIOD
IT WAS NOT WRITTEN BY ENOCH
IT DATES FROM 500 BC TO 70 AD
VERY POPULAR IN ITS TIME
THE N.T. WRITERS WERE WELL AWARE OF ENOCH
IN FACT, IT IS QUOTED IN THE N.T.
IT IS SIMILAR TO THE BOOK OF PSALMS
108 CHAPTERS ARE COMPOSED OF SMALL BOOKS
PARABLES CHAPTERS
37 TO 71 IS ABOUT THE MESSIAH
IT DISCUSSES WHEN THE MESSIAH IS COMING & IS SIMILAR TO 2ND COMING CONFLICT
THE MESSIAH IS COMING TO JUDGE THE WICKED & VINDICATE
THE RIGHTEOUS
IT IS AN APOCALYPTIC SETTING
PEOPLE ARE WICKED BUT NOT BECAUSE THEY REJECTED MESSIAH
THEY ARE BEING JUDGED BECAUSE THEY DID NOT LIVE ACCORDING
TO THE TORAH & THEY ABUSED THE POWER THEY POSSESSED
HENCE ENOCH TARGETS SOCIAL & ECONOMIC INJUSTICE
GOD TAKES HIS PLACE IN THE DIVINE COUNCIL
SEE PSALM 82:1
A Psalm of Asaph.
Footnotes
- Psalm 82:1 Heb. El, lit. God
- Psalm 82:1 Judges; Heb. elohim, lit. mighty ones or gods
IN THE MIDST OF THE gods GOD HOLDS JUDGMENT
THE SUPERNATURAL BEINGS FAILED THEY DID NOT DO THEIR JOBS SUPERVISING
THE NATIONS
HENCE CHAOS WAS SOWED AMONG THE NATIONS
ENOCH SAW SUPERNATURAL AGENTS BEHIND HUMAN LEADERS
THE RIGHTEOUS JEWS REMAIN FAITHFUL TO THE TORAH & THE
ONE TRUE GOD
IT IS A HEBREW BOOK, NOT A CHRISTIAN BOOK
IT IS SOMEWHAT LIKE DANIEL CHAPTER 10
SUPERNATURAL BEINGS ARE BEHIND EVERYTHING
ENOCH WAS VERY DISCERNIBLE & FAMILIAR TO THE JEWS
ENOCH WAS NOT NEWS TO THE JEWS
E.G. PAUL READ DANIEL 10 & ENOCH
HE WAS THE APOSTLE TO THE GENTILES
LIKE MOST JEWS, PAUL WAS VERY FAMILIAR WITH THOSE BOOKS
THE JEWS WERE VERY FAMILIAR WITH ENOCH’S TERMINOLOGY
1.
THE MESSIAH WOULD BE ANOINTED LIKE KING DAVID
2.
HE WOULD BE THE SON OF MAN
3.
HE WOULD BE RIGHTEOUS
4.
HE WOULD BE THE CHOSEN ONE
YESHUA WENT TO MT. HERMON & CONFRONTED THE EVIL WATCHERS
ENOCH IS NOT ABOUT THE REDEMPTION OF MAN, IT IS
STRICTLY JEWISH
YESHUA HAMASCHIACH IS ABOUT THE REDEMPTION OF ALL MEN
& NATIONS
IN FACT, YESHUA PREACHES IN GENTILE AREAS LIKE SAMARIA
IN LUKE 10:17 WE SEE THAT THE DEMONS ARE SUBJECT TO YESHUA
New King James Version
The Seventy Return with Joy
17 Then the [a]seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name.”
Footnotes
- Luke 10:17 NU seventy-two
THE JEWS KNEW EXACTLY WHAT YESHUA WAS DOING & THEY
EITHER TOTALLY EMBRACED HIM OR TOTALLY REJECTED HIM
ENOCH’S MESSIAH
WAS STRICTLY FOR THE JEW
ENOCH WAS NOT N.T. THEOLOGY
ENOCH IS STRICTLY WORKS RELATED
A JEW’S WORKS WOULD BE JUDGED
WORKS WERE NOT MERITORIOUS
THERE IS NO REDEMPTON
THE JEW MUST OBSERVE THE LAW
BELIEVERS ARE TRANSFORMED INTO ANGELS & GLORIFIED
JEWS BECOME LIKE MESSIAH
BOTTOM LINE
IT IS CLEAR TO ME WHY THE COUNCIL OF NICAEA DID NOT PUT ENOCH IN THE N.T.
