Welcome to the 5th kind ...what made the Book of Enoch important enough to
preserve but so controversial that it needed to be buried in the pages of
Enoch what was it that so impressed the early church fathers but ultimately
ensured that the book would be excluded from the Canon of the Bible what was the
secret that religious authorities was so anxious to suppress
the Qumran caves on the northern shore of the Dead Sea it was in caves hidden
in these Judean mountains that an ancient religious community hid its
precious archives of pirès scrolls and manuscripts in 1947 a shepherd throwing
rocks was surprised by the sound of a breaking part when he investigated he
realized he'd stumbled upon an incredible treasure trove of ancient
texts between eight and nine hundred manuscripts have since been recovered
among them some of the most important historic and religious texts ever found
among them the Book of Enoch
the earliest version of the Book of Enoch is the Ethiopian book Ethiopia is
home to the one church communion that accepts the Book of Enoch within the
Canon of the Bible the Ethiopian book comprises the book of Watchers the
parables of Enoch the astronomical book or the book of luminaries the book of
dreams and the Epistle of Enoch many of its themes echo the aspirations and
concerns of many of the Hebrew Scriptures but other things occur within
its pages that are more unusual the current Scrolls date from the 3rd to the
1st century BCE the source of their narratives and their authorship remain a
mystery the book is attributed to Enoch but that doesn't settle the question of
its authorship because just as the historic Moses didn't necessarily write
all the books of Moses or the prophet Isaiah didn't necessarily write all the
books of Isaiah so the authorship of the Book of Enoch
remains a bit of a mystery but Enoch himself is a fascinating figure and very
intriguing he's an ancestor of Noah Noah is his great-grandson and he himself
Enoch is the great great great great grandson of Adam and Eve which if you
think about it if I'm doing my math right means he had 62 other great-great
great-great grandparents in the same generation as Adam and Eve so just
taking the narrative on his own terms who were they I mean that's a mystery on
a mystery scholars believe the Qumran community to
have been home to the Essenes a secretive monastic community and the
caves in the Judean mountains their high-security archive the evidence is
that the Qumran community was part of the movement of Essenes which was a
monastic style community at that time and you can see why they would have
loved the book there are many themes that would have been important to them
but there's a section in chapters 85 to 90 of prophetic texts and many people
read them as prophesying the advent of various tribes and empires and then they
appear to foretell the advent of the S scenes themselves and then Jesus of
Nazareth and then the Twelve Apostles of Christianity and it wasn't only the
Essenes who held this book in high regard many of the early church fathers
quoted from this book freely and they referred to it as to scripture and that
would include writers like Tertullian Justin Martyr Origen clement of
alexandria all referring to this as if it were part of their canon i think it's
very significant that the new testament writer jude when he wants to quote the
Enoch of the Bible the Enoch of Genesis five he quotes the Book of Enoch
word-for-word and in the writings of Peter in the New Testament he refers to
the events and ideas of the book as if he expects his readers to know it so I
think the importance of those references cannot be exaggerated
they believed their readers were familiar with this book and should be
taking it seriously it is a book of great importance if we want to
understand the view of the Ancients with regard to human origins
given the high regard in which the book was held in ancient times what was it
about the books contents that made it so controversial that it had to be excluded
from the official canons in chapters 1 to 36 we read the book of Watchers it
details contact between entities from off-planet and human beings some of that
contact is benign and nurtures the emergence of human society the watchers
teach the humans how to cultivate crops how to use medicine and other healing
modalities the Watchers teach metal technology and introduced the humans to
adornments jewelry and makeup that aspect of off-planet people the watches
coming and teaching Homo sapiens had a farm and to build a civilization that
marks the Book of Enoch is very different to the books that we find
within the Canon of the Bible but it is not a unique story that narrative
repeats in mythologies all around the world you could find it in Native
American mythology Mayan Zulu Babylonian all make the claim that in our
prehistoric past there was an intervention people from off-planet came
and nurtured the human race as a conscious intelligent technological
species and gave us the building blocks of civilization but though that
narrative has been allowed to remain in indigenous mythologies all around the
world it seems that that admission of a wider ET family was an admission that
the Jewish and Christian religious authorities were not willing to make
of all the lessons given by the Watchers one that concerns much of the Book of
Enoch is the lesson in astronomy this is another aspect in which Enoch differs
from the other Jewish texts astronomy or astrology which are all part of the same
thing at that time not favorably looked upon in the Bible but it's there as a
theme in Enoch again where there's a point of difference in the other Jewish
writings Enoch finds correlations in other world mythologies the moment you
listen to other world mythologies you hear the same notes Mayan astronomy is a
byword for sophistication Egyptian Sumerian think about the Dogon people
with their knowledge of the Sirius Star System in Enoch we're told about the
movement of the moon around the earth the earth around the Sun the fact that
the moon reflects the sun's light the nature of eclipses and the cycles of the
moon how was the writer shown that did he see it in the flesh did he physically
travel was it through an altered state of consciousness was he shown textbooks
was it a remote viewing by the time were in the late chapters of The Book of
Enoch the suggestions are there that it was all of those among its most
explosive claims is the books account of the abduction of human females by 200 of
the Watchers their offspring are described as Giants the name the book of
Genesis gives them is Nephilim Greek legend calls them the Titans and
mythologies all around the world tell their own versions of this intriguing
episode writing in the first century of the
Common Era the Jewish historian Josephus refers to the ancestral memory of human
abductions and hybridization unpacked by the Book of Enoch Josephus refers to
that as history and he points to the existence of giants in his own time as
material evidence of that ancient intervention now it's interesting that
he also notes that the Greek legends have maintained a written tradition of
that story he also refers back of course to Genesis chapter 6 where the story of
abductions and hybridization is told so briefly so swiftly that it's quite can
with no introduction of these random characters turning up to do this that
it's quite clear that the writer of Genesis 6 assumes his readers already
know this story from another source yet the narrative of human abductions is an
aspect of the book which remains the hardest for many to process Enoch may
well be the Bible's first abductee although he may have been a willing one
when we read chapters 1881 we see Enoch being given a year's notice before the
watchers take him if we go to Genesis and read chapter 5 verse 24 it tells us
this about Enoch it says you know walk 365 years and then the Elohim took him
away now that word Elohim means the powerful
ones so the watchers in the Book of Enoch are among the Elohim the powerful
ones of the biblical narrative if we go to Genesis 6 where we find the Bible's
reference to the Watchers coming it describes them as bene Elohim and that
word means they are a kind of element so the Watchers The Book of Enoch are been
a Elohim or energy in the biblical text now if you dig a
little deeper you go to the source narratives on which those early biblical
stories are based you're gonna find yourself in the Sumerian texts and they
speak about sky people or star people and among those people 300 are
dispatched to what they call stations in the stars which I think we would call
space stations and their job is to work as observers that's the word used in the
sumerian observers so Watchers in the Book of Enoch observers in the Sumerian
narrative I don't think that is a coincidence so why didn't the Book of
Enoch make it into the Canon of the Bible there's a very broad consensus
among biblical scholars today that the Hebrew stories of beginnings took their
current shape through decisions and edits made sometime in the sixth century
BCE in Christianity decisions were made from the second century onwards that
shaped up what was to become the new testament and made the call to glue it
to the Hebrew Canon to create a Christian of Bible now all those
decisions were taken on the basis of a monotheistic worldview and so the edits
in the Hebrew Scriptures were to monetize them and their worldview was
that we are alone in the universe and so when they found other texts including
the Book of Enoch where so much is going on that acknowledge other entities
off-planet entities entities that seem to have intergalactic technology or even
interdimensional technology they could not admit those because in the language
of the Ancients they simply presented to many gods my book escaping from Eden
argues that this edit made in the sixth century BCE of the he
Kanon may have solved the problem of too many guards but by conflating the idea
of God with these other et entities which in the Bible are just a
translation away from being blindingly obvious by doing that the editor has
taken the et narrative and pushed it almost out of sight and at the same time
he hopelessly confuses how we understand God in the Bible because we end up
blaming God for things that were really the responsibility of ET entities in
their interactions with ancient human beings
I believe that correctly translated the Bible is peppered from start to finish
with non-human entities think about the Nephilim the Anakim the Elohim that
Bennett Elohim the sky counsel the one like a human being in the Book of
Ezekiel these are strands within the biblical tradition that the
institutional Judaism and Christianity of the day did not want to do business
with and just tactfully ignored the Book of Enoch by being so specific about them
blows all that open with the worldview that says there's no such thing as an ET
monetizing the Canon of the Bible had to mean excluding these other narratives
why was the narrative of ancient et contact suppressed what was so taboo
about reporting the Watchers role in our Great Leap Forward why was the narrative
of human abduction and hybridization allowed to remain in other indigenous
mythologies around the world but excised from Judaism and Christianity and what
agenda did that secrecy serve and are we entering a period where the
veil of that secrecy is now being lifted
