The Watchman On The Wall

The Watchman On The Wall
Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Verse 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Watchman Report May 4, 2021 "Book of Enoch Part 2"

 


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


 MESSIAH JUDGES THE LEADERSHIP OF THE NATIONS

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.

82 God stands in the congregation of [a]the mighty;
He judges among the [b]gods.

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 82:1 Heb. El, lit. God
  2. 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

Luke 10:17

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

  1. 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

IT IS A TRANSFORMATIVE BOOK

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.
