The oldest known Jewish work not included in the canon of Constantine’s universal church, is the Book of Enoch. This is a complex work, the known
COPIES of which (And I repeat 'COPIES] were written in the third (or perhaps even the late fourth) century BCE, after the return from the Babylonian Exile and the establishment of the Second Jewish Commonwealth (6th-5th centuries BCE) and before the Maccabean revolt in 172 BCE.
The oldest
COPIES of the Book of Enoch, dating from the third century BCE, were discovered among the Dead Sea Scrolls
Among the Dead Sea Scrolls were a number of manuscripts of the Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha, including ten manuscripts of the Book of Enoch in the original Aramaic (until then copies were extant only in an Ethiopic translation of a Greek translation of a Semitic original), which were vital to answering many questions about its origins. Dating of the manuscripts by their script shows that certain parts of Enoch are at least as old as the third century BCE.
I believe, and have already revealed, that there is ample evidence to support the belief that the original Books of Enoch, the latest
COPIES of which were discovered among the Dead Sea scrolls, date back much earlier than the 5th century, and that the originals were taken from Egypt, the land of first born, by Moses.
Genesis 5: 23; Enoch was 365 and had spent his life in fellowship with God when he disappeared because God had Taken him.
Hebrews 11: 5; "By faith Enoch was Translated (
To change from one form to another) so that he should not experience death; and he was not found, because God had Translated him.
Enoch, the most important man in the OT and the NT, the chosen cornerstone to which the righteous are gathered in the creation of God’s new glorious temple of Light, which is to replace his old earthly tabernacle=tent (
the body of mankind,) and yet he has been rejected by both the Jewish church and the Roman church of Emperor Constantine.
After Enoch had been carried to the very throne of the Most-High in the creation and anointed as his successor. "The Book of the Secrets of Enoch" 22: 8; "And I fell prone and bowed down to the Lord, and the Lord with his lips said to me: "Have courage, Enoch, do not fear, arise and stand before my face into eternity."
And the Most-High, (
who held the ransom blood of righteous Abel, which could save but one man) said to the glorious creatures that surrounded him, tempting them: "Let Enoch stand before my face into eternity," and the glorious creatures bowed down to the Lord, and said: "Let Enoch go [Or be released] according to Thy word."
And the archistratiege Michael lifted me up, and led me before the Lord"s face.
[Archistratege. Or, "the commander of the armies of the nations, named Michael."]
And the Lord said to Michael: "Go take Enoch from out his earthly garments, and anoint him with my sweet ointment, and put him into the garments of my glory." [
Enoch, is the CHRIST, he is the one who was anointed as the successor to the throne of the Most-High in the creation]
And Michael did thus as the Lord told him. He anointed me, and dressed me, and the appearance of that ointment is more than the great light, and his ointment is like sweet dew, and its smell mild, shining like the sun’s rays, and I looked at myself, and was like one of his glorious ones.
Christ is the
English term for the
Greek Χριστός (
Khristós) meaning
"the anointed one" It is a translation of the
Hebrew מָשִׁיחַ (
Māšîaḥ), usually
transliterated into
English as
Messiah or
Mashiach. The Hebrew word translated "anointed" is the verb form of the noun "Messiah."
The Book of Jubilees 4: 30; And he (Adam) lacked seventy years of one thousand years; for one thousand years are as one day in the testimony of the heavens and therefore was it written concerning the tree of knowledge: "On the day that ye eat thereof ye shall die." For this reason he did not complete the years of this day; for he died during it.
After Enoch in his ascension to the ends of time, had been in the valley of man for three days (Three thousand years) he was reborn on earth and revealed as the man Jesus in who were the spirits of the righteous over whom death had no more power.
These were they, who had paid the blood price for their inherited sin and any mistakes they had made while in the flesh, who were the separated from the unrighteous dead and entered into rest as they were gathered to the evolving spirit of Enoch within the bosom of Abraham, and over they, the second death had no power.
Isaiah 57: 1-2; “Good people die, and no one understands or even cares. But when they die, no calamity can harm them. Those who lead good lives, find peace and rest in death.”
1st Peter 1: 19-21; but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. 20 He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake. 21 Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God.
He was chosen before the creation of the world, but which world? The previous world that was destroyed by water, or this world which is destined to be destroyed by fire?
In the Book of Enoch the Prophet, and in his ascension to the throne of the MOST HIGH, Enoch saw Jesus, and in 39: 8; he says; “And there I wished to dwell, and my spirit longed for that dwelling place and there hence forth has been my portion. For so hath it been established concerning me before the Lord of Spirits.
Then concerning Jesus the elect one of righteousness, Enoch says in 49: 3; “And in him dwells the spirit of wisdom, and the spirit which gives insight, and the spirit of understanding and of might,
AND THE SPIRITS OF THOSE WHO HAVE FALLEN ASLEEP IN RIGHTEOUSNESS.
