About the Book: The Book of Enoch the Prophet, also called 1 Enoch, is an ancient Jewish religious work, ascribed by tradition to Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah. The book was not canonized by the Council of Nicaea, a group of Christian bishops appointed by Emperor Constantine in the Fourth century, despite Enoch being referred to as a historical person and prophet, and quoted in 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." Enoch is considered one of the greater men of faith because of what we observe in Hebrews 11:5; "By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God." In this book Enoch discusses the fall and imprisonment of the Watchers (the angels who fathered the Nephilim), astronomical observations and his visions, dreams and similitudes. The Book of Enoch teaches the pre-existence of the Son of Man, the Elect One, the Messiah, who "from the beginning existed in secret," and whose "name was invoked in the presence of the Lord of spirits, before the sun and the signs were created."Thus far we learn that the Book of Enoch was published before the Christian era by some great Unknown of Semitic race, who, believing himself to be inspired in a post-prophetic age, borrowed the name of an antediluvian patriarch to authenticate his own enthusiastic forecast of the Messianic kingdom. And as the contents of his marvelous Book enter freely into the composition of the New Testament, it follows that if the author was not an inspired prophet, who predicted the teaching of Christianity, he was a visionary enthusiast whose illusions were accepted by Evangelists and Apostles as revelation-alternative conclusions which involve the Divine or human origin of Christianity. The Book of Enoch is now usually designated I Enoch to distinguish it from the later Apocalypse "The Secrets of Enoch" which is known as II Enoch. The former is called the Ethiopic Enoch the latter the Slavonic Enoch after the languages of the earliest versions extant of each respectively. The Book of Enoch like the Book of Daniel was written originally in Aramaic and partly in Hebrew. No copy of the original language of either is known to be in existence. Latin and Greek versions have only in part been discovered but the Ethiopic Version has been preserved in twenty-nine manuscripts. The manuscript upon which this translation was made was found in Ethiopia in 1768 by the Scotsman James Bruce.... ....According to Canon R. H. Charles the various elements of which the Book of Enoch in its present form is made up belong to different dates. Thus one can expect a diversity of authorship and of this there can be no shadow of doubt. However while there is not unity of authorship there is none the less uniformity. Several scholars suggest we should speak of the collection as the "Books" of Enoch not the ""Book" of Enoch. Some of the authors of the Book of Enoch (and there were many) belonged to the true succession of the prophets and it was simply owing to the evil character of the period in which their lot was cast that they were obliged to issue their works pseudonymously. The Law which claimed to be the highest and final word from God could tolerate no fresh message from God so when men were moved by the Spirit of God to make known their visions relating to the past the present and the future they did so under some ancient name. Not only does the Book of Enoch come from many writers and almost as many periods it touches upon every subject that could have arisen in the ancient schools of the prophets. Nearly every religious idea appears in a variety of forms and during the two centuries before the Christian era played an important role in the development in the Hebrew theology. Conflicting views are advanced on the Messiah the Messianic kingdom the origin of sin Sheol the final judgment the resurrection and the nature of the future life. There is an elaborate angelology and demonology and much space is devoted to the calendar and the heavenly bodies and their movements.
