One of my favorite topics are Biblical characters. I have written about Paul and Judas from the New Testament and Today's post will be about Enoch from the Old testament. Interestingly He is only mentioned a few times in the Bible. In Genesis from OT and three times in the NT.. He also never died but went directly to heaven. Why He is of interest to me. What does the Bible say about Him ? Enoch is described as the great grandson of Adam and the father of Methuselah(another interesting character). Enoch was also the great grandfather of Noah. In Genesis 5:24 it says "and Enoch walked with God: and He was not; for God took Him." So if Enoch is in the OT obviously the Jews knew about Him. But the Christian views of Enoch from His brief mentions in the NT are abit different.
The Jewish community believed that Enoch was a holy man and that He was taken into heaven before He could be corrupted. The New Testament contains 3 references to Enoch. The first is a brief mention in Luke's genealogy of the ancestors of Jesus (Luke 3:37).
The second mention is where the author of the Epistle to the Hebrews, "By faith Enoch was transferred, that he should not see death, and was not found, because God had transferred him; for before his transference he had the witness that he had pleased God well." (Hebrews 11:5) Later in the chapter, Verse 13 adds that Enoch died, along with Abel, Noah, and Abraham. Seems to a contradiction. The third mention is in the Epistle Of Jude(1:14-15) "Enoch, the Seventh from Adam" . The quotation is believed by most modern scholars to be taken from 1 Enoch which exists in Greek, as part of the Ethiopian Orthodox canon, and also in Aramaic among the Dead Sea Scrolls. In the NT Enoch prophesies "to" ungodly men, that God shall come with His holy ones to judge and convict them (Jude 1:14-15). So, what else besides the brief mentions in the Bible do we know about Enoch ? Well 3 books are attributed to Him, known as the Book of Jubilees, which are not in the Bible, another reason He is of interest to me. Why are His books not in the Bible ? Just like the book of Judas and many other books that are not included in the Bible it is my belief that there is knowledge that is being hidden. The OT is a very incomplete history and by reading Genesis which is my favorite book from the OT, and perhaps the entire Bible, you can see were there are large gaps and stories not fully developed. For instance the giants that roamed the earth, back then. Who were these giants ? A topic for another post perhaps. (in a nutshell the giants were the offspring of a race that came down from heaven and had sex with human women; they were destroyed in the great flood-why we had a flood perhaps.) The 3 books of Enoch tell how Enoch is taken up to Heaven and is made guardian of all the celestial treasures, chief of the archangels, and an attendant of God Himself. He is taught all secrets and mysteries and has angels at His back fulfilling Gods wishes. Enoch was also seen as the inventor of writing, and teacher of astronomy and arithmetic. In some beliefs it is Enoch Himself that brings Gods revelations to Moses. You can also find Enoch in the book of Mormon as the founder of the city of Zion and in the Quran as Idris. But getting back to Enoch in the Old Testament. Throughout the writings there is continual references to the "Watchers". Who are the Watchers ? It is my belief the watchers are our creators, an alien race and they are watching over us protecting us much as a parent watches over their children. Religion will not teach You this. How could they. As a matter of fact it is their job to hide this from You. Growing up Catholic, the church actually discourages you from reading the Bible, prefering to TELL YOU on how things are. Hmm..whats their agenda ? Whats the agenda of religion ? To me its plain. To control the masses as they mislead You. Some folks need it, to be led and lead productive lives. Now before You label me "kook" explain to me why 99% of our DNA is labeled "junk" DNA and scientists today have no clue to where it came from or why its there. Its my contention that another species "alien" came to our planet many years ago and interbred with early homo-sapiens and we are the off breed, a hybrid of an alien culture. It is also my contention that as our species raises its consciousness and more awaken, this junk DNA will become evident of it's true purpose to help us ascend, but that's another topic "Merkaba". Stay tuned.
