Description
audible1 recording of The Book of Enoch by Unknown. (Translated by Robert Charles.)
Read in English by CJ Plogue
The Book of Enoch, is an ancient, non-canonical Jewish work. Estimates
vary on the actual dates of authorship. However, Enoch was alive during
the Antediluvian period as recorded in the Hebrew Bible. Fragments of
the text, were discovered in cave 4 of the Qumran caves in 1948.
Enoch, born in the 7th generation from Adam, was the grandfather of
Noah. Enoch prophesied concerning the judgments on mankind (Jude 14-15
& Enoch 1:9). Enoch says his prophetic words were not for his
generation but for a “generation of elect and righteous people far in
the future that would be living in the day of tribulation when all the
wicked and godless are to be removed.” (Enoch 1:1). He compiled his
visions and prophecies into a book of parables and passed the secrets on
to Noah (The book of Enoch 68:1).
Among the secrets passed down, Enoch gives a more detailed accounting of
the relationship between the fallen angels (watchers) and the daughters
of men in Genesis 6:2-4. He reveals the secrets of the luminaries and
the weather and concludes with a prophesy concerning the condition of
man and purging of the evil on earth. (Summary by CJ Plogue)
