Enoch Prophesied Christ's Return 
Jude 14-15 
 
 Pope Francis, as the leader of the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Church" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Catholic Church">Roman Catholic Church</a>, remains committed to a false gospel that insists upon good works as a necessary condition for justification. He is the head of a false church that is opposed to the true gospel of salvation by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. 
 
Francis holds that Mary is mediatrix and co-redemptrix with her son Jesus, that Scripture is insufficient and must have the tradition of the church added to it, that even Christians who die may have to endure Purgatory, that Christ is sacrificed anew each time the Mass is celebrated, and so on. But no false teaching is more scandalous than his denial of justification by grace through faith alone. 
 
It was also about these men that Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying, "Behold, the Lord came with many thousands of His holy ones, to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their ungodly deeds which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him." Jude 1:14-15 NASB 
 
Jude reminds his readers in verses 14 & 15 that Enoch had prophesied judgment would come upon apostates. This quote was taken directly from the Book of Enoch: 
 
Enoch 1:9 And behold! He cometh with ten thousands of His holy ones to execute judgement upon all, and to destroy all the ungodly: And to convict all flesh of all the works of their ungodliness which they have ungodly committed, and of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him. 
 
The bible does not record this prophecy of Enoch in any other place, but the fact that Jude was inspired by the holy spirit to write this down indicates that it is the truth. 
 
So this is the oldest prophecy uttered by a prophet of Christ's judgement coming. Prophesied by Enoch before the flood of Noah's day. 
 
"It was also about these men"—"these men" refers back to the hidden reefs of verse 12, these are men who have crept in among the church unnoticed. The word "also" tells us that Jude considers Enoch to be similar to him in that Enoch warned against apostates just as he is doing. 
 
"Enoch"—was a contemporary of Adam for a little over 300 years. Can you imagine their conversations? Adam could have told Enoch about the Garden of Eden and his fellowship with Yahweh and the divine council and also about the consequences of his sin. They had 300 years to talk about spiritual things. Maybe Adam's stories of how he walked with God drove Enoch to know and walk with Him. Adam was dead and Enoch was gone before Noah, the only other man who is said to have walked with God was born. 
 
Enoch walked with God. The Septuagint of Genesis 5:24 uses the verb euaresteo and translates it "Enoch was well-pleasing to God." This is the same word the writer of Hebrews uses in 11:5 when he says that "Enoch...was pleasing to God." Last week I said that Enoch is the only man, apart from the Lord Yeshua, who it is written of him that he pleased God! Well, if you take the Septuagint into consideration you would have to add Noah to that list because it uses euaresteo of him also. 
 
The writer of Hebrews and the Septuagint both use metatithemi, to say that God took him. Metatithemi literally means: "to put in another place." Enoch took a walk with Yahweh one day and walked right into eternity...walked right into Yahweh's presence. 
 
"In the seventh generation from Adam"—this clarifies which Enoch Jude is talking about. We don't want to confuse Enoch with Enoch in Genesis 4:17, who was the son of Cain. They are totally different men. 
 
The number seven is a significant number to the Jews, there was sacredness in the number seven. When Jude introduces Enoch as "the seventh from Adam,"this is not merely a number attained by adding up the lineage from the genealogy of Genesis 5: 3-19. The phrase "seventh from Adam"is a common identifier for Enoch used outside the Tanakh in Second Temple literature such as Jubilees 7:39, and the Talmudic Lev. Rab. 29:11. And surprisingly it is also used in Enoch: 
 
Enoch 60:8 But the male is named Behemoth, who occupied with his breast a waste wilderness named Duidain, on the east of the garden where the elect and righteous dwell, where my grandfather was taken up, the seventh from Adam, the first 9 man whom the Lord of Spirits created. 
 
This is Noah talking calling his grandfather Enoch the "seventh from Adam." Notice also that Enoch views Adam as the first man. 
 
Enoch "prophesied"—telling us that Enoch was a prophet of Yahweh. This prophecy of Enoch is the first prophecy recorded in Scripture given by a man, though it's not recorded until here, nearly at the end of the New Testament. There's a prophecy in Genesis chapter 3, but that prophecy was the prophecy about the seed of the woman who would bruise the serpent's head. That wasn't given by a man. Yahweh spoke that one. So this is the first prophecy given through a man. And it concerns the Lord coming in judgment. It's a <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Coming_Prophecy" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Second Coming Prophecy">Second Coming prophecy</a>. And it just so happens that the last prophecy recorded in Scripture given by John is: 
 
He who testifies to these things says, "Yes, I am coming quickly." Amen. Come, Lord Yeshua. Revelation 22:20 NASB 
So the first prophecy given by a man in the Bible is about the coming of Christ in judgment and the last prophecy given through a man is about Christ coming in judgment. 
 
The word prophesied is first in the Greek sentence, emphasizing the importance of the prophetic message. The Greek text reads, "Prophesied moreover as to these seventh from Adam Enoch saying, Behold has come Lord amidst holy many thousand of his." 
 
If Jude under the inspiration of the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Spirit" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Holy Spirit">Holy Spirit</a> said that Enoch said that, then guess what? Enoch said that. Douglas Moo's commentary on Jude. He writes: 
 
"To be sure, Jude claims that Enoch 'prophesied.' But this word need not mean 'wrote an inspired prophetic book'; it could well mean simply 'uttered in this instance a prophecy.'" [Douglas J. Moo, The NIV Application Commentary: 2 Peter and Jude (Grand Rapids, Mich.: Zondervan Publishing House, 1996], 272-74.] 
 
He's right, saying Enoch prophesied doesn't necessarily mean he wrote a book. Notice that Jude doesn't say, "The book of Enoch says" but "Enoch prophesied." Often in Scripture the writers will say that a book says something, such as: 
 
Therefore it is said in the Book of the Wars of the LORD, "Waheb in Suphah, And the wadis of the Arnon, Numbers 21:14 NASB 
So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, Until the nation avenged themselves of their enemies. Is it not written in the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Jasher_%28biblical_references%29" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Book of Jasher (biblical references)">book of Jashar</a>? And the sun stopped in the middle of the sky and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day. Joshua 10:13 NASB 
So Moses quotes from the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_the_Wars_of_the_Lord" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Book of the Wars of the Lord">book of the Wars of Yahweh</a> and Joshua quotes from the book of Jashar but Jude doesn't do that he says that "Enoch prophesied." So some say that this means he is not quoting from the book of Enoch but from Enoch himself. How does Jude know about this prophecy? Did God tell him? Possibly, but I would tend to think that since much of Jude's material comes from the book of Enoch that Jude got this prophecy from the book of Enoch. 
 
So by saying, "Enoch prophesied" maybe Jude is saying Enoch was the author of the book of Enoch. I'm not saying that Enoch wrote it down but maybe others took the oral tradition of what Enoch said and wrote it down. Noah's family must have known this quote, because it survived the Flood. Some believe 1 Enoch contains the actual words of Enoch and that it was handed down through the ages. There is no real way to know for certain if that is so. 
 
Tertullian, who wrote at the close of the first and at the beginning of the second century, while admitting that the "Scripture of Enoch" is not received by some because it is not included in the Hebrew Canon, speaks of the author as "the most ancient prophet, Enoch," and of the book as the divinely inspired autograph of that immortal patriarch, preserved by Noah in the ark, or miraculously reproduced by him through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. 
 
Many argue that just because Jude uses this quote from Enoch that doesn't mean that he is endorsing the whole book as truth. And there are cases where apostles quote a saying as a singular cultural reference without connection to the rest of the source. For example Paul quotes the Stoic Aratus on Mars Hill this way: 
 
for in Him we live and move and exist, as even some of your own poets have said, 'For we also are His children.' Acts 17:28 NASB 
Paul also quotes Epimenedes of Crete: 
 
One of themselves, a prophet of their own, said, "Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons." Titus 1:12 NASB 
Paul also quotes Menander in: 
 
Do not be deceived: "Bad company corrupts good morals." 1 Corinthians 15:33 NASB 
Notice that this is in quotes because it is a line known to have come from a Greek poet by the name of Menander. So the authors of Scripture often quote others without endorsing all they said, but the difference here is that Jude does not merely quote a verse from the book of 1 Enoch. He also follows the content patterns of 1 Enoch along with allusions and echoes of its phrases and language throughout his epistle. 
 
Jude also echoes 1 Enoch in its primary apocalyptic theme of the punishment of the ungodly. Both texts are addressing the evil of their day as an unveiling or fulfillment of past prophetic proclamation. They both appeal to ancient examples of judgment as the promise of judgment upon the present ungodly. 
 
In verse 6 Jude says that the angels "abandoned their proper abode". But who are these angels, what is their proper abode, and what is their violation? Jude's reference is directly dependent on 1 Enoch 6-19, which is the earliest extant account of the fall of the Watchers and he shows himself closely familiar with those chapters. 
 
Jude says, these angelic beings who rebelled against God were put in "eternal bonds for the judgment of the great day"(v. 6), or as 1 Enoch says, they were "bound underneath the rocks of the ground until the day of their judgment"(1 En. 10:12). Jude relies heavily on 1 Enoch he must have trusted it's contents. 
 
The Jewish historian Josephus reports a detail concerning how Biblical authors like Jude came to know about historical events before and immediately after the flood. 
 
Josephus reports that Enoch's son, Methuselah was an ancient historian. During his exceptionally long lifespan, Methuselah wrote the history of the world since Adam on two large stone obelisks. These obelisks stood on earth somewhere in Arabia during the years leading up to the flood. 
 
I think it is significant that Jude doesn't call Enoch Scripture, graphe, nor does he introduce the quote with, "It is written," which is a pretty typical way to introduce Scripture: 
 
And He said to them, "Rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: 'THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS, BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR AWAY FROM ME. Mark 7:6 NASB 
Jude just says, "Enoch Prophesied", he was a prophet, many of Yahweh's prophets wrote books or what they said is recorded in Scripture. Maybe, just maybe, Enoch's prophecy is written down and we find it in the book of 1 Enoch. We can argue whether we think 1 Enoch should be in the cannon and we will always disagree but one thing we should be able to agree on in the importance of the book of 1 Enoch in understanding the thinking of the Second Temple period. 
 
R.H. Charles one of the earliest experts on the Pseudepigrapha and Enoch points out, four titles appear for the first time in 1 Enoch's Book of Parables applied to a personal Messiah. [Charles, Pseudepigrapha of the Old Testament, vol. 2, 178] 
 
"Christ" or "The Anointed One" applies to priests or royalty in the Tanakh, but is transformed into the ideal Messianic King first in 1 Enoch 48:10 and 52:4 before the New Testament. "The Righteous One" and "the Elect One" likewise first appear with Messianic designation in 1 Enoch 38:2; 53:6; 40:5; 49:2 and others. Even the "Son of Man" was transformed in his identity from Old Covenan king to New Testament judge by way of 1 Enoch. 
 
Nickelsburg lays out evidence for the influence of 1 Enoch on the New Testament appropriation of Son of Man Christology. Though Daniel 7 is clearly a source for Yeshua' self-designation as Son of Man, Nickelsburg argues that it cannot explain the totality of the Son of Man doctrine as portrayed in the Gospels, a doctrine that reveals development in the Intertestamental period through 1 Enoch in particular. [Nickelsburg, 1 Enoch: a Commentary, 83.] 
 
Jude says that Enoch prophesied saying, "Behold, the Lord came"—Jude uses "behold" to cause us to focus our attention on the following prophetic pronouncement. Jude is talking here about the second coming of Christ. In the New Testament there are 
 
over three hundred references to the Second Advent of the Lord Yeshua the Christ, and this is one of them. 
 
1 Enoch says, "And behold! He cometh with ten thousands of His holy ones 
 
To execute judgement upon all..." But Jude says, "The Lord came"—this is aorist active indicative, not "will come" (future tense) but "came" (past tense). So the verb "came" is aorist tense but in this context describes an event that is yet future. This event (Christ's coming in judgment in Jude 1:15) is so certain that Jude describes it as past tense. This use of the aorist tense is referred to as proleptic aorist. Daniel B Wallace says "The aorist indicative can be used to describe an event that is not yet past as though it were already completed. This usage is not at all common, though several exegetically significant texts involve possible proleptic aorists." [Greek Grammar Beyond the Basics] 
 
S.L. Johnson writes, "They were described in the past tense because it was so certain that they would come to pass and so that use of a tense of completed action, a perfect tense, to describe events of the future, clearly from the context they were future, was called in Hebrew grammar as the prophetic perfect. Now that is what we have here." 
 
The Lord (kurios) here is none other than the Lord Yeshua the Christ, returning as King of kings and Lord of lords. 
 
"With many thousands of His holy ones, to execute judgment upon all"—this coming is a judgment coming and Christ is not coming alone. "Literally, in or among holy myriads." [Vincent's Word Studies] 
 
The preposition "with or among", presents the coming Lord as surrounded by a vast concourse of court attendants. Who are these holy ones? One commentator writes, "The word 'saints' refers to those who have been saved, those who have accepted Yeshua Christ." The word in the Greek is hagios which refers to holy ones, and here is a reference to angels not believers. Christ second coming was accompanied by angels: 
 
"For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and WILL THEN REPAY EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS. Matthew 16:27 NASB 
Christ comes with His angels, that idea is repeated over and over in passages dealing with the second coming. 
 
Jude go on quoting 1 Enoch to say: 
 
to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their ungodly deeds which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him." Jude 1:15 NASB 
The word "execute" is a translation of the Greek word poieo meaning, "to accomplish, to fulfill, to perform, to carry out." The word for "judgment" actually refers to the act of judging, or administrating justice. The phase "upon all" refers to all those who are apostate unbelievers. 
 
The Greek word translated "convict" is elegcho, which means, "to convict, or to expose." In exposing or convicting the apostates, God is carrying out justice. 
 
The word "ungodly" is used four times in this verse and means, "wicked, sinful and godless." Of all their ungodly (asebeia) deeds (more literally works of ungodliness) 
 
The word harsh is from skleros which literally means hard, stiff, dried up, dry, severe. 
 
Ungodly sinners is placed last in the Greek sentence for emphasis. Literally it reads "sinners, godless persons." They are not just sinners but "ungodly" ones at that! Ungodly is the key word in this passage and describes their basic sinful attitude of refusing to have a proper reverence for God. 
 
Just about every reference in the New Testament to the Lord's coming has a time stamp on it. But there is no time indicator here in Jude unless we take his proleptic aorists as a sign it would be soon. When did Enoch think the Lord would return? 
 
Enoch 1:1 The words of the blessing of Enoch, wherewith he blessed the elect and righteous, who will be 2 living in the day of tribulation, when all the wicked and godless are to be removed. And he took up his parable and said —Enoch a righteous man, whose eyes were opened by God, saw the vision of the Holy One in the heavens, which the angels showed me, and from them I heard everything, and from them I understood as I saw, but not for this generation, but for a remote one which is 3 for to come. Concerning the elect I said, and took up my parable concerning them: 
 
The Holy Great One will come forth from His dwelling, 4 And the eternal God will tread upon the earth, (even) on Mount Sinai, [And appear from His camp] And appear in the strength of His might from the heaven of heavens. 5 And all shall be smitten with fear And the Watchers shall quake, And great fear and trembling shall seize them unto the ends of the earth. 6 And the high mountains shall be shaken, And the high hills shall be made low, And shall melt like wax before the flame 7 And the earth shall be wholly rent in sunder, And all that is upon the earth shall perish, And there shall be a judgement upon all (men). 8 But with the righteous He will make peace. And will protect the elect, And mercy shall be upon them. And they shall all belong to God, And they shall be prospered, And they shall all be blessed. And He will help them all, And light shall appear unto them, And He will make peace with them'. 9 And behold! He cometh with ten thousands of His holy ones To execute judgement upon all, And to destroy all the ungodly: And to convict all flesh Of all the works of their ungodliness which they have ungodly committed, And of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him. 
 
Doesn't this sound a lot like: 
 
"But immediately after the tribulation of those days THE SUN WILL BE DARKENED, AND THE MOON WILL NOT GIVE ITS LIGHT, AND THE STARS WILL FALL from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. "And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the SON OF MAN COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF THE SKY with power and great glory. "And He will send forth His angels with A GREAT TRUMPET and THEY WILL GATHER TOGETHER His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other. Matthew 24:29-31 NASB 
When was this to happen? Yeshua tells us in: 
 
"Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place. Matthew 24:34 NASB 
This verse is devastating to a futuristic eschatology, so let's examine it carefully and make sure we understand exactly what Yeshua is saying. Let's start by examining the meaning of the word "generation". Generation, in our text, comes from the Greek word genea. In Thayer's Greek-English Lexicon of the NT, we can see that "genea" means: "The whole multitude of men living at the same time." William F. Arndt and Wilber Gingrich (A Greek-English Lexicon of the NT and Other Early Christian Literature) define "genea" as, "basically, the sum total of those born at the same time, expanded to include all those living at a given time. Contemporaries." 
 
If you look at the way Yeshua used the word "generation," I think it will be abundantly clear that it always refers to His contemporaries, the Jewish people of His own period. In etymology and usage, "generation" means: "those born at the same time, contemporaries." In biblical thought, a generation is forty years. 
 
Some have tried to twist the etymology of the word "generation" to make it mean "race,"and try to make Yeshua say that all these things would happen before the "race" of Jews had passed away. By doing this, they think they can expand the time of the Second Coming by thousands of years. There is no biblical or linguistic justification for such a position. Generation does NOT mean race! 
 
C.I. Scofield, in his Bible's reference to this verse (Matt. 24:34), recognized this and actually SWITCHED the definition of the word from that of genea to that of genos, which is an entirely different word! 
 
What Yeshua meant by all those things happening in that generation, including the parousia of Christ, was that they would all happen while some of those folks to whom He preached were still alive, just as He said they would be. Christ lived in the last days and at his second coming the last days ended. It was the last days of the Old Covenant, and it ended in AD 70 with the destruction of the Jewish Temple. 
 
The Revelation of Yeshua the Christ, which God gave Him to show to His bond-servants, the things which must soon take place; and He sent and communicated it by His angel to His bond-servant John, Revelation 1:1 NASB 
The Greek word translated "soon" here is from the Greek word tachos. According to the Arndt and Gingich Lexicon, tachos is used in the LXX and certain non-canonical writings to mean: "speed, quickness, swiftness, haste." John uses the same word in Revelation 2:16; 3:11; 22:6,7,12,20. John also uses the Greek word engus: 
 
Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and heed the things which are written in it; for the time is near. Revelation 1:3 NASB 
Engus, which is translated here as: "near," is also used in Revelation 22:10. This term speaks of temporal nearness, and John uses it to bracket the book. 
 
To deny that God will fulfill His promises is to deny the inspiration of Scripture. Do you agree? Well, I believe that to deny the time statements connected with many of the promises is also to deny inspiration. 
 
Now the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of the eternal covenant, even Yeshua our Lord, Hebrews 13:20 NASB 
An eternal covenant has no "last days." We are living in the first days of the eternal age. The "last days" spoken of by the biblical writers were the "last days" of the Jewish Old Covenant age, which became obsolete and passed away in the A.D. 70 with the judgment and destruction of Jerusalem.

CHAPTER XCIII. 
 
1. And after that Enoch both †gave† and began to recount from the books. And Enoch said: 
 
'Concerning the children of righteousness and concerning the elect of the world, 
And concerning the plant of uprightness, I will speak these things, 
Yea, I Enoch will declare (them) unto you, my sons: 
 
According to that which appeared to me in the heavenly vision, 
And which I have known through the word of the holy angels, 
And have learnt from the heavenly tablets.' 
 
3. And Enoch began to recount from the books and said: 
'I was born the seventh in the first week, 
While judgement and righteousness still endured. 
 
4. And after me there shall arise in the second week great wickedness, 
And deceit shall have sprung up; 
And in it there shall be the first end. 
 
And in it a man shall be saved; 
And after it is ended unrighteousness shall grow up, 
And a law shall be made for the sinners. 
 
5. And after that in the third week at its close 
A man shall be elected as the plant of righteous judgement, 
And his posterity shall become the plant of righteousness for evermore. 
 
6. And after that in the fourth week, at its close, 
Visions of the holy and righteous shall be seen, 
And a law for all generations and an enclosure shall be made for them. 
 
7. And after that in the fifth week, at its close, 
The house of glory and dominion shall be built for ever. p. 133 
 
8. And after that in the sixth week all who live in it shall be blinded, 
And the hearts of all of them shall godlessly forsake wisdom. 
 
And in it a man shall ascend; 
And at its close the house of dominion shall be burnt with fire, 
And the whole race of the chosen root shall be dispersed. 
 
9. And after that in the seventh week shall an apostate generation arise, 
And many shall be its deeds, 
And all its deeds shall be apostate. 
 
10. And at its close shall be elected 
The elect righteous of the eternal plant of righteousness, 
To receive sevenfold instruction concerning all His creation. 
 
[11. For who is there of all the children of men that is able to hear the voice of the Holy One without being troubled? And who can think His thoughts? and who is there that can behold all the works of heaven? 12. And how should there be one who could behold the heaven, and who is there that could understand the things of heaven and see a soul or a spirit and could tell thereof, or ascend and see all their ends and think them or do like them? 13. And who is there of all men that could know what is the breadth and the length of the earth, and to whom has been shown the measure of all of them? 14. Or is there any one who could discern the length of the heaven and how great is its height, and upon what it is founded, and how great is the number of the stars, and where all the luminaries rest?] 
 
The Book of Enoch was originally part of the Bible, until THEY figured out what it really meant and what it foretold. 
 
“The word of the blessing of Enoch, how he blessed the Elect and the righteous, who were to exist in the “Time of Trouble”; to the rejection of all the wicked and unGodly, Enoch, a righteous man, was with God, answered and spoke, while his eyes were open, and while he saw a holy vision which was in the heavens… From them I heard all things, and understood what I saw, that which will not take place in this generation, but in a generation which is to succeed at a distant period, on account of the Elect” (Enoch 1:1-2). 
 
The Book of Enoch was given to Noah by Archangel Prince Michael. The Prophet Enoch was Noah’s great granddad who had visions of past and future, which he shared with his children and grandchildren. Prince Michael, who returns for the final battle against Satan and his synagogue, helped Noah understand the importance of Enoch’s messages and inspired the Book of Enoch. It has been placed back into position as the sixth book of the Old Covenant in the King of kings’ Bible. And it is the first book to use the expression “apple of my eye”, which means “cherished”. Five other prophets would later quote this expression. “In that day shall The Most High rise up to execute The Great Judgement upon ALL sinners, and to commit the guardianship of all the righteous and holy to the holy angels, that they may protect them as the apple of an eye, until every evil and every crime be annihilated” (Enoch 99:2). 
 
Jesus, James, Jude, and the Apostles all acknowledged it as Holy Scripture. The church did too until Mohammed was given the Holy Koran by Archangel Gabriel, and praised Enoch/Idris whom Muslims readily accepted. The Koran was supposed to be the third part of the Bible, as the Gospel of Unity. But of course, the church/mosques got in the way and made sure God’s Children remained separated. Because the Koran in Sura 6:154-157 instructs Muslims to read the Torah, the Meccans made sure to discredit it in their man-made “replacement doctrine”: The Hadith, with its unholy Sharia law. And we all know the Vatican has loads of “replacement doctrine” to read instead of the Holy Bible; and Protestant churches have their new bibles and massive bookstores. What could possibly be in the true Holy Books that so many would want people to stay far away from them? 
 
The Book of Enoch’s accounts of the past and future refer to descendants of both of Abraham’s sons: Isaac (Saxons) and Ishmael (Arabs). God’s servant nation, and apple of His eye, is the People Israel through Isaac’s son Jacob. Prophet Mohammed was grafted into True Israel because he became a “Champion of God”, which is what the word “Israelite” means. He tried to unite everyone, because the Christians had lost their way by following Rome and its sneaky devils into false gods, graven-images and idols, and materialism, AGAIN. The Book of Enoch stands as the binding tie between Christians and Muslims, which is apparent in the King of kings’ Bible, combining the Torah, Bible and Koran as one Book, complete with cross-references and explanatory notes. 
 
Enoch gives a detailed account of the Creation of the Earth and its purpose; it gives a better insight into who the Elect are; it foretells the future including the Flood, Final Judgement, and separating the righteous and unrighteous, before Christ’s Reign in the seventh millennium. It’s a lengthy book, but reasonably easy to understand.

</div>
Creation of the World and Its Purpose 
 
Enoch asked, “What is this world? Of every existing generation those shall bless Thee who do not sleep in the dust but stand before Thy glory, blessing, glorifying, exalting Thee, and saying: The Holy, Holy, Lord of Spirits, fills the whole world of spirits” (Enoch 39:11). When this world was created, it was filled with spirits of the fallen angels. Between lifetimes, each spirit would enter paradise, “After this I beheld the secrets of the heavens and of Paradise (Astral Plain) according to its divisions; and of human actions, as they weigh it there in Balances” (Enoch 41:1). Paradise is where spirits go to review what they did “good and bad” with their Pair-of-angels. Each spirit, or fallen angel, has a name, and is well accounted for, including everything we’ve ever thought, said and done in every one of our human-lifetimes, as our Guardian Angels perform their jobs with complete accuracy. The Holy Angels know who is “doing time” here; and no one has ever been lost in a crowd or does anything in secret. On an individual basis and on a deep personal level, Guardians know if a man repents, obeys The Laws, loves Father above all else, follows The Way of Christ, overcomes Satan by overcoming “self”, and is actively earning his pardon and becomes righteous again. 
 
The Elect 
 
These are the souls who become alive, or born again, because they find the Truth and cling to it at all costs and through all tests. They separate themselves from the walking dead who are sleepwalking, drunk on Satan’s lies about who they really are. It’s one thing to be awake to the evil happening in the world; it’s quite another thing to be spiritually awake and connecting it to Father’s plan. Those who wake up love Father and want to go back Home, reveling not in their human-bodies wanting Satan’s mammon world. They realize how wonderful and marvelous Father and Christ are. They keep their faith and humble themselves before God, praising Him for His Mercy, Grace and Love. They become willing to have child-like faith and be taught again, or “unlearn what they have learned” as Yoda said in Star Wars. 
 
Here are some verses about the Elect found in Enoch: 
“Then shall Wisdom be given to the Elect, all of whom shall live, and not again transgress by disrespect or pride; but shall humble themselves, possessing prudence, and shall not repeat transgression” (Enoch 6:11). 
 
“Their residence I beheld under the wings of the Lord of Spirits. All the holy and the Elect sung before Him, in appearance like a blaze of fire; their mouths being full of blessings, and their lips glorifying the name of the Lord of Spirits. And righteousness incessantly dwelt before Him” (Enoch 39:7). 
 
“In that day shall the Elect One (Messiah/Christ/Mahdi) sit upon the Throne of Glory; and shall choose their conditions and countless habitations (while their spirits within them – their Being shall be strengthened, when they behold My Elect One), shall choose them for those who have fled for protection to My holy and glorious name. In that day I will cause My Elect One to dwell in the midst of them; will change the face of heaven; will bless it, and illuminate it for ever” (Enoch 45:3-4). 
 
The Righteous and Unrighteous 
 
For the righteous will learn the Truth and Life, returning to God’s Law, revering the Lord, and doing good works, instead of continuing their insurrection with Lucifer, known on Earth as Satan, the Opposer, and the Devil, the Liar/Slanderer. The new millennium will belong to them. The unrighteous will refuse to return to The Laws of God, reject the Lord, and find they possess not the Earth, but eternal hell in the Lake of Fire. Their pretenses of good will fall away, and the ways of the righteous will be come to light. The unrighteous will be given no mercy, as they will reap what they have sown, as they showed no kindness to their brothers, and are filthy with greed, exalting their ways over the “I Am”. 
 
“When Righteousness shall be manifested in the presence of the righteous themselves, who will be elected for their good works duly weighed by the Lord of Spirits; and when the Light of the righteous and the Elect, who dwell on Earth, shall be manifested; where will the habitation of sinners be, and where the place of rest for those who have rejected the Lord of Spirits? It would have been better for them, never to have been born” (Enoch 38:2). 
 
“When too, the secrets of the righteous shall be revealed, then shall sinners be judged; and disrespectful men shall be afflicted in the presence of the righteous and the Elect. From that period those who possess the Earth shall not be powerful and exalted. Neither shall they be capable of beholding the countenances of the holy…” (Enoch 38:3-4). 
 
“I will also change the face of the Earth; will bless it; and cause those whom I have elected to dwell upon it. But those who have committed sin and inequity will not tread upon it; for I have seen them. My righteous ones will I satisfy with peace, placing them before Me; but the condemnation of sinners shall draw near, so that I may destroy them from the face of the Earth” (Enoch 45:5). 
 
Battle and Judgement 
 
Christ will be the Savior of the awakened spirits. And the souls who cling to Him and His teachings will be chosen to continue with Him after the Day of Punishment, when evil souls will be destroyed. Father, the Ancient of Days, is with Him, guiding and protecting Him. Christ is called the Son of Man when His spirit is in a human body, and He is the Righteous One who reveals the Truth, even hidden Truths. He will do battle with the kings, the evil rulers of the world, and win. 
 
“The Son of Man, whom thou beholdest, shall raise up kings and the mighty from their thrones, and the powerful from their couches; shall loosen the reins of the powerful, and break in pieces the teeth of sinners. He shall hurl kings from their thrones and their dominions; because they will not exalt and praise Him, nor humble themselves before Him…” (Enoch 46:3-4). These kings are the same referred to in Revelation, as the ones who fornicated with the Whore of Babylon (Rev. 18:9-19). “… Nor henceforwards shall they obtain pity from the Lord of Spirits, because their lives in this world will have been completed” (Enoch 38:5-6). 
 
And who are the kings, or evil rulers, who oppress the world of spirits/souls? “They shall condemn the stars of heaven, shall lift up their hands against the Most High, shall tread upon and inhabit the Earth, exhibiting all their works of iniquity, even their works of inequity. Their strength shall be in their riches, and their faith shall be in the gods that they have formed with their own hands (money-religion-Marxists). They shall deny the Lord of Spirits, and shall expel Him from their temples, in which they assemble” (Enoch 46:5). 
 
But they will be judged accordingly: “Prince Michael the Archangel condemned and then decreed that The Judgement shall fall on CHURCH and STATE” (Enoch 58:1), which is how they rule. This is also referred to in Ezekiel 13:1-9, Matthew 23, Revelation 17:14, and Koran Sura 3:64. It is the Church, all of them of every organized religion, and the State, all governments, who oppress, condemn, mislead and rob the souls of Earth, in order to sit at Satan’s side and rule in his one-world government and religion scheme. They push this scheme on the world; but with this push, they bring final judgment on themselves and everyone else. While the world is headed for darkness and destruction, because we allow the evil-doers their control, Father said He wouldn’t allow complete destruction of the Earth, on account of the Elect. 
 
Christ will establish a new day. “That day has been prepared for the Elect as a day of Covenant; and for sinners as a day of inquisition. In that day shall be distributed for food two tigers (redistribution of their wealth); a female tiger (Whore of Babylon), whose name is Levi-athan (church) dwelling in the depths of the “sea” (restless people), above the springs of “waters” (people). And a male (kings/rulers), whose name is Behemoth (state) which possesses, moving on his breast, the invisible waste” (Enoch 59:6-8). 
 
“And when the punishment from the Lord of spirits shall continue, upon them (the two monsters – church and state) shall it continue, that the punishment of the Lord of Spirits may not take place in vain. After that, Judgement shall exist with mercy and long-suffering” (Enoch 59:29). 
 
Christ will rule from His Throne during the seventh millennium after evil is wiped from the Earth. “The Lord of spirits sat upon the Throne of His Glory, And the Spirit of Righteousness was poured out over him (the Elect One)…” (Enoch 61:2-4). “And in those days shall the Elect One sit upon his throne (the Stone or Pillar of Destiny – the Throne of David – the Throne of Israel – the British Throne – Jacob’s Pillar), while every secret of intellectual wisdom shall proceed from his mouth; for the Lord of Spirits has gifted and glorified him” (Enoch 50:3). 
 
“And trouble shall seize them, when they shall behold this Son of The Woman sitting upon the throne of his glory” (Enoch 61:9). The Woman is Britannia – Israel God’s wife (metaphorically), described in Revelation 12:1-2, 5-6. The “throne of His glory” will be given to Him by God during the fourth and final overturn of the Stone of Destiny (Ezekiel 21:27). “Then shall the kings, the princes, and all who possess (and think they own) the Earth, glorify Him Who has dominion over all things; and him who was concealed (and does own it), for from eternity the Son of Man was concealed, whom the Most High preserved in the presence of His power and revealed to the Elect” (Enoch 61:10)
