Finally made the sequel! "The 2nd Book of Enoch Explained:" kzhead.info/sun/obyHecivmXeAjGg/bejne.html
Just finished watching it and came here to watch this again 😂 thank you for your vids
And the prophecy of the Elect. You just don't want it to be true I suppose but it is. I'm really sorry I suppose that you know what's coming next. The Elect, the Holy and the Righteous. The forsaken have judgement coming. As you as you push off the prophecy of Enoch you seal your sin. Fore now is the time 70 generations have past. I'm trying to help everyone but it will be many many days before we can help those judged in sin. I'm praying for you
A summary of great wisdom to hide the great sin. Sad
I’m 0:26 into this video and already I had to pause it and take a moment to digest how biased and belittling you sound about something your about to “teach me” (never went to church don’t like or care for religion, never read the Bible or book of Enoch, but also I don’t trust science, but think we might have a creator/savior)

I wonder where Megatron got his name from
Megatron was named after Metatron.
I read Enoch when I was much younger and what struck me was the parallels between the watchers and the Greek gods in their interactions with humans. Teaching, corrupting, interbreeding and playing at warfare with humans or demigods as champions or pawns. Back when I believed these things literally it seemed like a potential explanation for other religions at the time, now of course it is more obviously due to cultural contact and the spread of ideas around the Mediterranean.
One friend of mine told me if you read a lot of bibles from different religions they’re not far off
This is what I thought too
If you think about it, in any interpretation of the Bible does God say I am the only God ever? No, he says, "There are no other Gods before me." Just something to think about. Also included in Enoch is the Divine Council. An assembly of lesser celestial beings over which a supreme God sits.
@@CapnTacos That statement is simply not true. I would encourage you to read Ephesians 4:5-6, as well as Romans 3:30 NLT.
@@therealjakeryan5826 I’m pretty sure there are other gods in the bible. It’s just stated that he is above all of them. A god can create other lesser gods.
Enoch must have been an established figure before the writing of Genesis. There's no way they just offhandedly remarked that "God took him" without the reader being expected to already know the full story.
Seems plausible. A reminder at least that for every pieve of history that we have preserved evidence of, there are many that were culturally known, accepted, debated, and forgotten. I think of this often when watching documentaries on serial killers- we look back at their criminal history, because it was recorded (sometimes), but we rely on anecdotal evidence for most of their lives. This is true for all of us. Prior to the internet, just how much of any average person's life is recorded? A diary? A portrait? 0.001% of their full life. My point is that recorded history is a drop in the bucket, and ultimately what we "know" could well be flawed. We must remember the 5 Cs of historical studies.
@@slidrgaming, I do believe you are on to something. Great insight.
Yes, Enoch, and Adam and Abraham were all "established figures before Moses wrote about them BUT we have none of the books Moses said he used as reference for Genesis and Forst Enoch was NOT among the booka Moses listed. Bubba, if you listened to the video at all you should have heard that First Enoch was written in 200-300 BC while Enoch was taken to heaven in 3000 BC. Clearly Enoch did NOT write the book of Enoch although the book clearly claims that he did. Here is the time line ~3000 BC Enoch is taken to heaven in Genesis 5 and never returns.. ~2500 BC Noah and the Flood. Noah never even met Enoch and Enoch left before both the Flood and fallen "angels". ~1500 BC Moses writes Genesis. ~200-300 BC Book of Enoch written. So Exactly how does Moses use the Book of Enoch as a reference if it was firt written 1000 year AFTER Moses wrote Genesis??? Think about that Genius.
@@YeshuaMessiah7 thanks :)
What are the 5Cs of historical studies?@@IllustriousCrocoduck
Bear in mind an important fact when reading Enoch: Firstly there are three books of Enoch. In antiquity they spoke of only one. Scholars are fairly sure that there are two different authors. The author of the first book, written before Christ. And the author of both the second, and the third books, dated to after Christ. They compare phrasing and language that differs between the two. As well as language usage in the different eras. When purchasing an edition of "The book of Enoch.", you usually will have all three books, in the one volume.
Thx for sayin'
Sooo, the first book of enoch is the only true version then i guess?
Guys, HERE is The Savior HalleluYAH translates “Praise ye YaH” YaH is The Heavenly Father YaH arrives via the TENT OF MEETING YaH was Who they Crucified for our sins ** NO FEMALE INVOLVED WHATSOEVER ** - Hebrew Book of Isaiah Isaiah 42:8 "I am YaH; that is my Name! I will not yield my glory to another or my praise to idols. Isaiah 43:11 I, I am YAH, and there is no other Savior but Me. Isaiah 45:5 I am YaH, and there is none else.
References? I can't believe anything unless properly sourced. As likely as this sounds..

Enoch is a fascinating book. Reading the Biblical texts can be a surreal experience because it mentions drastic events, that today we would chronicle in detail, very offhandedly as if they aren’t worth recording.
Enoch Great-grandson: Noah , Father: Enoch’s father was Jared (Genesis 5:18; cf. 1 Chronicles 1:3). Occupation: Jude 14-15 states that Enoch was a preacher of righteousness and a prophet. Bible References: Enoch is mentioned in Genesis 5:18-24, 1 Chronicles 1:3, Luke 3:37, Hebrews 11:5-6, Jude 1:14-15.
It's like reading about January 6th or 9-11. You assume the audience knows about it. Kinda like that there :)

@@TheBobbymcd facts!
I do not believe that the Book of Enoch was a "spin-off" at all! In fact, there is evidence that it is much older than the Bible and was already a widely known part of literature when the Bible was written, hence there was no reason to elaborate when it was briefly mentioned in the Bible. The writer assumed everyone already knew what he was talking about, probably because they did! It is a complex piece of literature that should be respected.
Never read the Bible but I think enoch might be closest to the truth, might actually give it a read
kzhead.info/sun/e9WqmZaOloWcgZE/bejne.html
I believe it's Enoch 1 that has been dated to well before the flood. The other version of Enoch that came afterward are more recent.
@@JaniceDietert 'the flood' LOL
Agreed, they hid Enoch because it talks of angels, demons, nephilim, and things that will come to pass in our close future
There's a very enochian figure in ancient sumerian texts who very well can be the source of the later sons of angels and men parts of the book of Enoch, in fact a lot of the poetics match it very highly
Tell me how I can learn more?

Except that he deliberately said two opposing things at the same time - 1) that the Books of Enoch are all useless fiction written ni earlier than 4th century BC m and thus absolutely useles as historical accounts. 2) hen he turns around and wants to use them as historical accounts.
He was a little bias imo and shrugged it off I though sometimes
Whoever wrote it definetly knew a lot for pre internet times.
It really doesn’t make sense to call it “spinoff literature” when these texts were both a part of a very living tradition from the distant past. Books were absolutely not treated and were not used like they are now, at ALL.

"Spin-off literature." The scholarly way of saying "fan fiction".

Maybe it's all fan fiction
That's not a scholarly turn
happy to use fan fiction too. Spin-off seemed to work well for Enoch though imo.
Including more modern Bible fanfic like the divide comedy and paradise lost
What a phenomenal amount of insight here. Thanks rfb.
It makes sense that Sadducees who were more concerned about preserving tradition rejected the supernatural, therefore Enoch would have been disqualified simply because it alluded to the supernatural. Interesting presentation
You completely misunderstood. 1) It was the Pharisees who became the rabbis not the Sadducees and that excluded the books of Enoch from the Old Testament simply because they were trash written 2000 years after the events. 2) The Sadducees were the Aaronic priests and the Hasmoeen nobles (also priestly clans ) who objected to the Pharisees adding the Talmud to the Torah as a second set of laws that pushed out the preist hood. 3) The Rabbis were allPharisees and mostrly Judeans, not of the tribe of Levi. THEY set the Old Testament canon.
@johnbreitmeier3268 no, the context was precisely correct it is you who don't understand, go back and look at what I said again, specifically to context
@@woodshed_moments No, I did read it in context. It is just that everything you said is factually wrong. The Sadducees did NOT reject the supernatural at all. They rejected the resurrection and the Talmud or "traditions of the elders" as Jesus called them. Jeus preached the resurrection making the Seduces mad and the Talmud making the Pharisees mad. IF you still think I missed your point then make it more clearly and precisely. Don't day I did not read what you wrote which is simply inncorrect.
@johnbreitmeier3268 Labeling something "factually incorrect", but then choosing to substantiate it with culture and the traditions of man over what we have is disinforming people... this is politics and nothing more. I'm sorry you have not made your point, but you have let everybody know where you're coming from, I'm sorry you just have not made a point, and still haven't made a point- but the direction you're going to it's the supported institution over truth that has been revealed through time, that is the problem you're having here. "For the Sadducees say that there is neither a resurrection, nor angels, nor spirits, but the Pharisees acknowledge them all." [Acts 23:8] You were saying? The word of God actively unpacked and discredited everything you said, so again, the more you talk the more you're telling people what you are not, and that is valid nothing you said is correct from a biblio Centric perspective, but if I was Catholic or Judaistic, in some Orthodox manner, I can understand the intentional conflation... Bottom line is what you choose to support your argument with, is not bibliocentric - therefore moot.

The “son of man” theme is all over the book of Ezekiel.
The “son of man” is Lucifer (Isaiah 14), the “bright morning STAR” (Revelation 22:16) HERE is The Savior YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified for our sins, NOT jesus, and “HERE IS THE PROOF” From the Ancient Semitic Scroll: "Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3) Ancient Semitic Direct Translation Yad - "Behold The Hand" He - "Behold the Breath" Vav - "Behold The NAIL"

When I first read the book of Enoch as a 20 something year old Christian it made so much sense to me. It filled in all of these unanswered areas for me such as why astrology and certain substances were considered “wrong” in the faith. I believed it’s because they were the secrets of heaven that were not intended for man. It was like a lightbulb moment. These things actually work, but they weren’t meant for us, that’s why it is forbidden. I don’t believe any of this anymore but I still have an extreme fascination with biblical theology.
Astrology still factors in the Book of Matthew in the Gospel as the magi were following a star to the baby Jesus.

The book of I Enoch helps the Gospel of Mark (which portrays a world full of unclean spirits) make more sense.
my theory is enoch had some small influence on what became certain parts of new testament scripture. a lot of church fathers in the earliest time periods considered it authoritative scripture, and enoch has words and concepts that are also used in new testament scripture.
@JVT well, the book of jude mentions/references a verse from enoch. and as far as early church fathers, figures like Origen, Ireneaus (worth noting he is famous for weeding out heretical Christian doctrines, doesn't mean anything just thought it was funny(" Justin Martyr, Athenagoras, Clement, Cassidorus. There are more names if you're curious but these are either Fathers, Bishops or Apologists that considered it authoritative and/or prophecy. I can find some more if you're curious I kinda studied this a while back.
still doesnt make the story of "2000 pigs jumping off lake" more sense

You have a spectacular amount of unbiased, scientific theological information. I'd love to hear more from you about the connections between Christianity and Islam, especially where the Bible (in whichever books) had verses that could have been interpreted as connotations or hints at Islam or prophet Mohammed. Thank you!
The Koran and Mohammed came 600 years after Jesus and the New Testament. It claims to have been written by an illiterate camel driver who thought he was accurately reporting Judaism and Christianity to his fellow Arbs. Unfortunately since he could not read he badly butchered the Bible stories and claimed they came from an angel. This is all from the forward of MY copy of the Koran. The Koran is just as much late garbage by a bad and lying author as the Book of Enoch was. Mohammed's account of Jesus, Moses and Abraham differe wildly and seriously from the eyewitness Biblical accounts. Trash.
Islam mostly has contact with fringe Gnostic Christian sects and the Syriac Church, not Roman Catholicism or Eastern Orthodoxy. The Biblical verses don’t say much because they could be interpreted in many ways. The Qur'anic doctrine on prophets could be one take on that.
wow... so in depth and so interesting! Something I was completely unaware. Bravo on the presentation!
The fact that Enoch is noted in only a couple of verses in the OT suggests to me that Enoch literature was well developed before or contemporaneously with Genesis, rather than composed long after the OT.
Genesis is itself a derivative work, and believed by some to be really young, so it wouldn't be surprising for it to reference Enoch. It would also mean being older than Genesis is not itself proof that Enoch was a foundational early Hebrew document.

@Brian Johnston Jesus did not refer to Enoch. Enoch is only mentioned in Genesis and in Jude. And I believe it was in Jude to prepare his bride for his coming. I believe the 10,000 saints are with Jesus when he comes to execute judgement because we are his bride and he is our husbandman.
@@JohnSmith-zw8vp Yes there were only like 3 right? And one of them wasn't even completely human so to speak.

It's all fake. Fiction. Get a life.
Unfortunatelly none of the "fillins" are true. Did you miss the part where the video plainly says they were written no earlier than the 4th century BC?? How do you truthfully ewrite first hand accounts of events that happened 2000 years before the books were written. All 3 books are garbage and lies.
i wouldn't prioritize reading those works. especially not over reading the cannon bible daily. if you are just reading them for fun or whatever then it doesn't really matter. but you shouldn't confuse these strange works as divinely inspired. the idea that enoch is the son of man is insanely heretical and goes against the fundamentals of christianity established in nicea 1.
@@prod.mohomid Now there are many bad things about the books of Enoch but applying the term son of man to Enoch is NOT one of them Read the Biblical book of Ezekiel. I am going through it daily roght now. In almost every chapter GOG himself calls Ezekiel "son of man. The term jsut means "HUMAN". Yes, Daniel refers to the Messiah as the Son of Man and Jesus usually calls himself the Son of Man rather than the Son of David or even the Son of God in order to emphsize that he is indeed human as well as God. Mow it depends on the translation you read as to whether Enoch is actually called the son of human as just human or as designating him as the Messiah. The first is not a problem. The second is blasphemy. Since I cannot read the Ethiopian and the scholars differ, I simply do not know on this point. But there are many other reason that first Enoch is trash.

@@oakparkfamilycarectr well, yes and no. Yes, the Ethiopian Orthodox Church is tied to the Egyptian Coptic church historically - until the mid/late 20th century their top official (Abun) was extracted from egypt. But Ethiopian orthodoxy is in many ways it's own sect. For example, Ethiopian Orthodox Church recognizes many saints that are not recognized by other churches, including the Egyptian church.
@@oakparkfamilycarectr the Ethiopian Orthodox Church also had its own schisms and religious movements. Did, for example, the Coptic church have an ewostathian movement?
The Ethiopian Orthodox church, with one of the earliest christian churches, has 81 books in the bible compared to 66 in most churches. The book of Enoch is on of the books of the Ethiopian church. The book was lost to the rest of the world until the 18th century explorer James Bruce came across the book and took some copies to Europe. The discovery of the dead sea scrolls put the book back into the spot light and the Ethiopian version, which had been preserved in it's entirety for millennia were identical. You see, before christianity, there was alredy a strong judaic presence and many of the old testment books already existed in the area. After Ethiopia became the second nation to officially adopt christianity, the old books and the judaic culture that florished in the area for more than a thousend years were fused with the new testment books. This is the reason the Ethiopian church is very unique compared to churches in Europe. The books were preserved in the isolated mountain monastries and the judaic culture such as dietary restrictions, preserving both sunday and saturday as the Sabbath, removing shoes before going into the church building and the like still live on to this day. We could say that the Ethiopian church is the legacy of both judahism and oriental orthodox christianity.

"Enoch walked with God; then he was no more, because God took him." This is very shoddy character development - especially for a guy who lived to be 365. Are we getting the director's cut now?
Tell me you're an atheist, without telling me you're an atheist.
There was a letter that arrived ten years later: "2 Chronicles 21, the wicked King Jehoram of Judah receives a letter from the prophet Elijah."

fan-fic would be a better description. just as people today watch endless new godawful star wars stories because they "want to know what happened", people don't seem to be completely aware that those stories don't come into existence until someone writes them, and that that someone has free rein to invent details. the analogy also applies to official writers of prequels and sequels, but fan-fic is less restrained in terms of changing canon, and this was enoch's downfall
Nope, just getting doctrine of devils. Nothing about Enoch was shoddy, it's pretty clear when you read the scriptures that he was raptured, we will have 3 raptures before the end. Two have already happened. The next one translates millions of us from our current bodies, to our righteous ones.
Love learning about Enoch. Have any of you listened to the podcast- The Ancient Tradition? Today they dropped an episode on Enoch and it's really interesting...so much I didn't know about Enoch.
Great stuff 👍🏽
You know in Star Wars when Obi-Wan talks about the clone wars, leading to fan speculation for decades? This basically.
😂 Great comment 👍🏽
At great personal risk of seeming overly pedantic, it was Luke that mentioned the Clone Wars.

Finally someone who speaks my language
I also thought his name was Obi one
Thank you for the breakdown. I’ve been very interested in learning more about him.
I have mixed emotions about the internet, but I would have had no knowledge about this before the internet. In my early Christian life, none of this was told to me. The first time I heard of the Book of Enoch was through the TV program Ancient Aliens.
This is all very fascinating to me! I'm very interested in our beginnings, and who might have been here before us....
I am Dutch. I read Enoch -1- by R.H. Charles. Written in very difficult English. I took me a long time (and asking GOD to help me) before I comprehended the text. I am glad I did it.
😂
Unfortunately you wasted your time. As this video very unclearly said all 3 books of Enoch are lies and satanic trash. Did you not listen to the fact that they were written in 300-200 BC when the events they describe as witnessing took place aboy 2500 BC and Enoch the supposed author left for heaven about 3000 BC. Just second Temple fiction with no useful answers jusyt some liars daydreams.
You’re telling me the Bible has canonical dlc with new characters and ties into the original story???
The best DLC and some amazing bosses appear, too.
It even has a live-action trilogy with a prequel trilogy for the north-western regions as well. Although the skins may throw off noobs as to how the timeline connects. Yes, The Matrix and LOTR.
I demand a biblical cinematic universe! A BCU!
@@chinaman1 It would be much more amazing than Marvel's universe
@@chinaman1 DC actually has comics based on god, lucifer and Micheal
Love the direct info without excessive poorly executed humor! Subscribing!
I thought he was pretty funny
I need this book this is so awesome
I m listening it first time about this subject, it looks, you have work very hard.
You make such interesting videos! Keep up with the good work!
I grew up with a Holy Bible: Old Testament, New Testament (And Apocrypha.) So, we didn't really read Enoch, but cross-referenced it, because it's mentioned a couple times. I read it, because I read the whole thing, (And I was the kind of kid that tried to memorize the phone-book) but I don't remember it very well, because it was a long time ago. Thank you for this: 3:23. I've been looking for a good translation, and run into issues where it was actually "A Book of Enoch" advertised as "The Book of Enoch" or 1 Enoch.
To know more about Enoch, you should read ``Uriel's Machine`` by Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas.
thank you, I want my son to learn can you recommend a few other books please ,
This is so much information thank you for including sources 💟
Unfortunately he was deliberatly unclear. What he really said if you listened closely was that all 3 Books of Enoch are frash and fiction written 2000 years after the events they pretend to give eyewitness accounts of happened by a person who left the planet 500 years before the events happened. Abslute rubbish, yet he manged to gloss over that.
You are pretty . Nice to see a sista interested in type of stuff
Found this channel yesterday and I really like the quality it provides. Great Job!
The Book of Enoch is easily accessible on Project Gutenberg and other public domain sites. It isn't really that long of a read either despite being divided into many chapters. I strongly suggest reading it for yourself instead of passing on it because we don't have access to one specific translation.
Wow! Your awesome, thank you.
omg i lost it when the 4 archangels were wearing ninja turtle colors
I supposed their names are Donnatello, Michaelangelo, Raphael dan Leonardo. I completely misses it until I read your comment
Haha 😂 it was awesome
Seeing this comment from an account called Our family Videos with a phyrexian as the icon just made this so much funnier
@@onisuryaman408 sorry sir, those are not their names
Please check out my new book Jesus is God, Scripture Proves it by Cary Glenn on Amazon......A great study guide on this topic...Jesus said if you don't believe I am who I say I am you will die in you sins...help me spread the Word and promote this book. A lot of Christians stumble on Jesus being God. I'm a first time Christian author and need your support. Thank you. (-Please leave a review-)
This sounds like the directors cut of Russell Crowe’s Noah
I'm pretty sure that movie drew some inspiration from Gnostic and Enochic literature. I hated how the Watchers were portrayed though.
@@jayb0g I would also be very interestd in knowing this.
I find Noah a considerably more enjoyable experience when you view it through the lens of a Darren Aronofsky film rather than just as a religious film
@@jayb0g watch diablo 3 (famous blizzard game) angels CGI, they're waay cooler (can use their light wings to grab & bind like tentacles) instead of boulder giants
jayb0g they are protrayed as good guys when Enoch actually depicts them as evil. Also they’re rocks giants?
This video is excellent!! It would be great for you to analyze and speak about the Book of Peter and the Book of Mary.
Wel llet me tell you. Neither Book exists in any meaningful way. There are very short fragments of each based on one or two copies and pretty silly and know to be second century AD or later. They do not say what the internet liars say that they say. Yoiu can reead copies on line. Look for Gospel of Mary and Gospel of Peter. Both are trash and NOT written by Mary or Peter. Peter confirms the crucifixion and resurrection but with silly additions the author just made up. Mary is a fragment in the middle of a conversation that has zero context.
Just for extra's ... not religious, but I love how ancient texts and traditions have been shaping our collective memory. Enoch and Idris are not the same persona. Enoch and Noah are the same, because what a lot of people don't know is that early biblical manuscripts were written in the same language but different dialects. And in some dialects you have to refer to a known person by adding a/e/i which later became the prefix al-/el-/il- and also became the suffix -al/-il/-el. Those strict dialects add the prefixes so that people would know that the text only applies to the referred person and doesn't apply to anyone with the same name. That's why a lot of texts use the name Abraham/Abrahim/Ibrahim while the real name is Brahim/Brahem/Braham (Bra - him means without worries). Same story for name Noah/Enoch, Dris/Idris, Yonas/Yunes/Yunis/Yunus, Ya'cob/Ya'cub/Ya'cup and so forth. Translators saw the names as separate because they couldn't distinguish between dialects.
Enoch and Noah are not the same imbicile. Noah was Enoch's great grandfather according to Genesis 5 which is the only real record we have of him at all. Did you graduate from the University of lies and Stupidity??
Just found your youtube and I already respect everything you're doing. Was always a little hesitant about finding a translation but I just got the The Hermeneia Translation you recommended. Thank you sir
HERE is The ONLY Savior YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified for our sins and “HERE IS THE PROOF” From the Ancient Semitic Scroll: "Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3) Ancient Semitic Direct Translation Yad - "Behold The Hand" He - "Behold the Breath" Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
Thank you for recommending the Hermeneia translation; I would have had no idea where to start.
The name Enoch reminds me of ENKI, the babylonian god of wisdom. Also I think that the stories dealing with angels, dualism etc. were influenced by zoroastrianism.
Enki was one of the anunaki
What about the one R H Charles? Do you recommend that one?
God called Ezekial "son of man" numerous times as well, so the same context given to Enoch shouldn't be all that controversial.
@Magi ಠ_ಠ uhhh?
Ezekiel was called son of man referring to his earthly manhood. JESUS on the other hand is called THE son of man referring to Him being deity. The word "The" is never used calling someone other than Jesus son of man. There is too little about Enoch to build doctrine around of significance. The whole of the bible points to Christ. He is the savior.
@@joemachunda The Son of man ALWAYS refers to the humanity of the Christ.
@@joemachunda "The whole of the bible points to Christ." Yeah easy to make up any character who fits those prophesies, or to make any character fit them if you want to do enough mental gymnastics.
Thank you! The book of enoch has interested me for a long while, but im not much of a reader. Not that im illiterate, but i dont have the attention span necessary to sit and read a book. I find myself reading the same paragraph over and over without absorbing any of the information. So thank you good sir.
You are exactly the kind of Christian this gatekeeping unbeliever is targeting, to get you to dismiss it as fiction & worthless. Pray to be shown the Truth, & IN the Truth. The Lord's children have no need of a worthless "teacher" like this clown. "But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him." I John 2:27.
Per the creative flourish with the four Archangel, I can't help imagining that Shemihazah is in fact, Krang. ...and if you think about it, that kinda predicates that Shredder, Bebop, and Rocksteady are Nephilim also.
I wish I’d seen this video earlier so I could try to get on that talk. Sounds interesting
The original manga was better. The spin-off was interesting, tons of new characters but just too over the top and has little to do with the original plot. Very niche tbh.
I'm still waiting for the anime tho
There's talks of Netflix attaining the rights to create a 6-episode series with Taika Waititi as executive producer. No news on it being animated or live-action as of yet...
wrong anime bro
Manga ?😂
Like Naruto btw.
I really liked the game El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron, which is based on the Book of Enoch.
I also loved that game. The art style and the story kept me playing it for many days
Good game!
It was a wild ride, to say the least. A singular experience, the likes of which have not been seen in video games before or since.
That game seems fascinating to me. I haven't played it, but I'm kinda obsessed with it.
I love the art style in it, and Lucifel is fun
Great video but I did want to point out one thing. 11:22 actually references "Son of Man" from the book of Daniel as you mentioned earlier
I like this! It's like Tolkien had a bunch of friends throughout ancient history and they all contributed to the lore, coming up with spinoffs and whatnot. I love fantasy! Although nerds can get really intense when talking/arguing about it, I find it hilarious how they can base their entire personality around it, talking nonstop about it, doing cosplay, what's canon and what's not, etc... If only they had better editors and sense of storytelling back then, and maybe not take it so literally! Nerds! I love it! SUBBED!
The watchers are aliens
The first book of Enoch literally explained all my what’s ifs as well as anything I was overly curious about.
what were your what ifs ?

For anyone scrolling through the comments going through a really hard time I truly hope things get better for you no matter who you are. Please don't give up trying. There is a reason you are here reading this message, to remind you that YOU are so important to God and His Son Jesus Christ. I can only imagine what you are going through but God knows. I also know how difficult life can be and I may not understand your exact experience but I am truly sorry that things have been so tough for you. I care and want you to know that you are not alone, you have a purpose, you are worthy of so much. Please take it one day at a time, one step at a time. I am praying that God will send His angels to each and everyone of you to comfort you, surround you with His love, give you peace beyond measure, and to change things for the better. Please know that you are here for a reason and that sometimes we don't always know why we go through things, maybe to help someone else going through the same thing because you understand such pain that someone else may not. Please also know you also have a Savior Jesus Christ who died for you, He loves you more than you could ever know. Please ask Him for forgiveness of wrongs and ask Him into your heart believing with sincerity. He can guide you in all things. I speak from experience it doesn't matter what we have done or that we think we don't measure up He will meet us where we are, even in our lowest low. He can give you peace beyond measure, I speak from experience. I can only imagine how hard it has been for you but I truly hope the best is yet to come for all of you. Please never give up, because He won't give up on us. Please remember this when things are hard and you feel at the end of your rope
Thank you
Thank you, I really needed that 🥰☺️ God bless you
God bless you. You are a kind soul and a messenger of God. May you or those you love Never lack, long for or be denied any good or beneficial thing...in the name of Jesus. Amen
Thank you. I needed this. God bless
Thank you everyone for your encouraging responses I posted this a while back and forgot about it yet it's like God is using it for me to I love everyone here and have a awsome day
I'm intrigued now. All the Christian churches I've been to don't consider the book of enoch biblical scripture. I've asked about it and the impression I got was that it's ridiculous and has no place in the king James bible. Some even seemed offended that I would even ask. I found it strange but now that I've heard what you've said I think I'll research it further. Thank you.
Giants were real. But they don’t teach you that in school.
There's channel @Sam Aronow on Jewish history. Anything composed after Esther was considered deuterocanon or apocryphal.
@@kevinclass2010 Yep and anything comosed 2000 years after the events by a guy that left the earth 500 years before the events occurred were considered lies and bad fiction.
Matt people have told you that the books of Enoch are ridiculous nonsense because that is a very resonable and sane appraisal of the content. 1) Enoch says the giants born of 5 foot human women were 450 feet high! That is impossible. 2) even if we ignore the ridiculous content we are left with the lie of the authorship. a) The Flood occurred about 2500 BC. The Books even according to this video were written between 300 BC and 200 AD. b) Enoch is claimed to be the author BUT Enoch went to heaven according to Genesis 5 about 3000 BC and never returned. This is 500 years before the giants and the flood occurred. Enoch could not have written the books thus they are a lie. and there is no eyewitness accounts of evnts written 2000 years after they happened. 3) Both Jews and Christians with the exception of the silly Ethiopians, BOTH rejected Enoch as scripture. It was never included in either the Old or New Testaments. It is trash and fiction that lies about its authorship. That is why it is out. The King James Bible had nothing to do with the exclusion.

Just finished the second parable of 2nd enoch. It's amazing how much it reads like a new testament book
The writing style of that era all sounds similar. Books attributed to 300bc to 300ad all have much more detail, a good level of prophesy and fate built into the text. The earlier books such as the first five of the Holy Scriptures of the Hebrews are pretty brief, with a loaded sentence here and there with no further explanation (the race of The Great Men of Renown for instance, with no listing of these renowned men). Early books also tent to do just cause and effect. Free will choices make one obedient to God or contrary to God's intent and therefore likely filled with sinful and murderous actions. Most of the stories in Genesis are brother vs brother stories. That would reappear in the tales of David and his rival brothers.
Thank you
