Chapter 176: Enoch

PS: Censors of Roman cultural writings began to be appointed around 440 BC, and their positions were later replaced by the religious groups of early Christianity. The compilation of the Bible www.biquge.info the Pen "Fun" is the masterpiece of these religious groups. They did not allow all religious writings to be included in the Bible. Learned theologians should recall that the Apaclepha (Greek for concealed writings), both Jewish and Christian, was excluded by canon statutes; There is also a book called the Septalpha de la Fa, a Jewish holy text, written around the time of the birth of Christ, which should have been included in the Old Testament, but was also removed. The reason is that they are not "holy" enough to qualify for a place in the Old Testament.

Inspectors of Roman cultural writings began to be appointed around 440 BC, and their positions were later replaced by the religious groups of early Christianity. The compilation of the Bible is the work of these religious communities. They did not allow all religious writings to be included in the Bible. Learned theologians should recall that the Apaclepha (Greek for concealed writings), both Jewish and Christian, was excluded by canon statutes; There is also a book called the Septalpha de la Fa, a Jewish holy text, written around the time of the birth of Christ, which should have been included in the Old Testament, but was also removed. The reason is that they are not "holy" enough to qualify for a place in the Old Testament. One of these books that has been rejected outside the door of the Bible is called Enoch (Hebrew for origin). This book is the book of the Old Testament. One of the apocalyptic texts of the Apocrypha records visions of Enoch's walk with God for 300 years before the Flood. The Book of Enoch is divided into three books: Enoch I, Enoch II, and Enoch III. Enoch was one of the early ancestors of mankind. Moses had mentioned this man; He was one of the Hebrew patriarchs before the Flood (12,000 years ago) and the son of Aried. For thousands of years, he was far less famous than his son Mishuchron (Hebrew. means "Rocket Maker"), but he is said to have lived to be nine hundred and sixty-nine years old. At the same time, after he had completed his earthly work, he was also taken into heaven by a "fire-breathing chariot" and never returned.

Fortunately, he left his own account before ascending to "heaven". These texts give us a deep understanding of early astronomy, the theory of the origin of the gods, and their "fall."

The earliest manuscript of Enoch was written in Hebrew, but the original manuscript has not yet been found. If only everything could be as the Christian Church Fathers wished. Future generations will never want to see this book again. Fortunately, the early church in Abyssinia suddenly opened up and kept a copy of Enoch. The news reached England in the first half of the 17th century. But it was not until 1773 that the African explorer J. Bruce brought a copy back to England. Soon, some manuscripts written in Latin. It began to circulate among the people. Enoch is divided into five volumes:

Book 1 (Chapters 1-36): Chapters 1 to 5 are the introduction to the book, describing the punishment of sinners and the reward of the righteous in the age; Chapters 6 to 36 deal with angels and the universe, and tell about the union of angels and human women, and therefore the corruption of mankind. Enoch pleaded with God for the sake of the world, but failed. Enoch was taken by the angel to Hades, Jerusalem, and other places.

Book 2 (Chapters 37-71): Chapters 37-71 are parables or similes about the judgment, the Messiah, the righteous, and the elect. It deals primarily with the destruction of sinners and the victory of the righteous. Chapters 45–57 are about the Messiah and the chosen one. The Messiah's description is different from Ezekiel's son of earth, but it is similar to the Son of man from heaven in the book of Daniel.

Book 3 (Chapters 72-82): This is a description of the heavenly bodies of light and astronomical phenomena. The calendar mentioned in this section will not be calculated by the Pharisees, not by the lunar calendar, but by the solar calendar. In addition, it is mentioned that the year will not be three hundred and sixty-five and a quarter of a day. but three hundred and sixty-four days; This astronomical knowledge is mainly a revelation of how chaotic the days to come will be.

Book 4 (chapters 83-90): This is the vision that Enoch saw in his dream, and there are two main parts; The first part describes Enoch's vision of Ghim from before the Flood and is about the whole world and Israel. and that God will punish a sinful world with a flood; The second part is the history of Israel from Adam to Maccabees.

Book 5 (chapters 91-107): is about the two paths of the righteous and the sinner, and in chapters 91-105, Enoch prophesied the resurrection of the righteous and the punishment of sinners, and made special reference to the week in apocalyptic literature; Beginning with Enoch, the "future" will be divided into ten different weeks. The second week refers to the days of Noah, followed by Abraham, Moses, and so on. The eighth week is the time of the Maccabees. and pointed out that righteousness would reign; The new heavens and the new earth will appear in the tenth week. Chapters 106–107 deal with Noah's birth and prophecy about the increase in sin and the flood.

Chapter Fourteen: They Took Me Into the Sky. I entered a wall made of crystal. Walk in it. Surrounded by a raging tongue of fire, I was terrified. I walked through the tongue of fire to a large room made of crystal, and the walls and floor of the room looked like they were made of crystal. The rooftops emit countless stars and lightning, and there are many cherubs flying in between. A sea of fire surrounded the walls and burned the portal.

Chapter 15: I heard a voice from on high: Don't be afraid, Enoch, you are an upright man, and a man who records the history of integrity, and when you go back you will speak to the guardians of heaven. These men were sent to earth to benefit the world, to arbitrate for the world, not to bring harm to the world.

What he describes as "Who are the Guardians?" Ezekiel mentions these men, and even the mysterious fragment of Remihi's whirlpool in the Dead Sea caverns. In (Remihi Vortex), Remihi's wife, Barth? Inoch swore to her husband that she had nothing to do with those (guardians of heaven). Now these ancient legends are back in the Enoch book! There are two overtones in the words of the air speaker:

1. He said that Enoch was the one who recorded history. Because he knew that Enoch would write down this history;

Second, with a hint of contempt, he said that those (guardians) were there to serve the world, not to make the world serve them. The following is the words of the air speaker's reprimand to the Guardian:

Why have you left the heavens that are high? But they came here to defile the women of the people, and slept with their daughters, and took wives, and had children like earthly men? Though you are immortal, you have blasphemed women with your blood, and have made them flesh and blood, as those who are mortal live.

Chapter 41: I saw the position of the sun and the moon. Saw the places where they departed and returned. How wonderful they work, they have a rhythm more than anything else in the world! They didn't go wrong. There are no more paths, no less paths, the moon follows the path of both visible and invisible, and sometimes it becomes invisible. Because it is obscured from the sun's rays.

Chapter XLIII: I saw the stars and lightning in the sky, all named after themselves, and measured with their proper weight—according to the intensity of their light, their width, and the date of their appearance

Chapter 19: There are several leaders of these Guardians. The first was called the Terrier, and he seduced the angels into lust for the daughters of the earthly humans. The second was Asbil, and he instigated the angels to rape the bodies of human daughters. The third is called Godreel, and he tells mankind about all the pain of death; He also told humans about the tools used to kill, such as spears, shields, and swords. The fourth, called Penimus, taught mankind the distinction between good and evil, and told them all the secrets of wisdom; They are also taught how to write with paper and ink. The fifth place is called Casdia. He speaks of all kinds of bodily and vital sufferings to man: to make the fetus miserable in the womb and then to separate it from it; the pain of various animal bites; the anguish of the soul; …

Chapter Seventy-Two: During the day, the sun departs from the second door. Then he went down from the west, returned to the east, and set out again through the third gate, and began another morning. The day includes nine scales, and the night also includes nine scales. Day and night cycle back and forth, with a total of 364 days per year. There is a long day and a long night. There are also short ones, and that is because of the rotation of the earth. As for the moon. Its rise and fall vary from month to month. During the day, its luminosity is the same as that of the sun, and at night, its luminosity is about equal to the luminosity of the seventh scale of the sun; Half of it is exposed to one-seventh of the sun, while the rest of it is not exposed to the sun

Chapter Eighty-Two: Now, my son Misheuron, I leave this to you. I've written everything I've told you in the book. Take good care of this manuscript, my son, which your father has given to you, and pass it on to future generations.

The Christian fathers did not allow this book to be circulated because they knew that the truth in this book would cause them great harm if it were revealed. Are they afraid that human faith will not stand up to the light of reason?

In addition, Enoch has chapter 108, which is called another book written by Enoch, which describes a vision of the punishment of sinners in order to encourage the righteous to endure the suffering of the world and wait for the judgment to come.

In Christian theology, 1 Enoch is a very important work because it helps readers understand the idea of Judaism between the two covenants. For example, Enoch called God by different names, including: Most High, Most Holy, and Most Great, and so on. The book also specifically explains verses 1-4 of Genesis 6 as a reference to the fall of angels. In the Old Testament. The "Son of Man" described in Daniel 7 and the "heavenly Messiah" referred to in the New Testament are found in 1 Enoch, and the Son of Man is the righteous Messiah who will judge the world. The book is also known for its detailed descriptions of eschatology, which detail the judgment of the end of time, in which sinners will be punished forever in Hades, and those who will be resurrected to eternal life. At the end of the day, Messiah will return, and his kingdom and the city of New Jerusalem will be established.

The books of Enoch and Daniel are both important apocalyptic texts in Judaism, and both have had many influences on the writers of the New Testament. The passage most directly related to Enoch is found in Jude 14-15: "Enoch, the seventh grandson of Adam, prophesied these men, saying, Behold, the Lord is coming with thousands of his saints to judge the prisoners, and to confirm all the ungodly things which are done in vain by all the ungodly, and to confirm the hard words of the godly sinners against him." In addition, the New Testament's ideas about the Son of Man, the Messiah and his kingdom, angels and demons, etc., are directly or indirectly related to Enoch. b
