Anointedtoday.blogspot.com: Did You Know- The Book of Enoch?

Have you ever questioned why the book of Enoch was removed from the Bible? Do you know the reason that was given? What happened during the book of Enoch?

Remember This:

***Intentional***

1. Why was the Book of Enoch Removed?

In Genesis 5:21-24 it states that Enoch’s fathered Methuselah and Enoch walked with God for 300 years after Methuselah’s Birth. Methuselah live to be 969 years, Genesis 5:27. According to neverthirsty.org., Jesus and the apostles never called it scripture, therefore it was not viewed as authoritative since it was not the Word of God. What were some of the things mentioned in the book of Enoch?

2. Did Noah have Glowing Eyes?

Chapter CVI: vs 5 And he said unto him, “I have begotten a strange son, diverse from and unlike man, and resembling the sons of the God of heaven; and his nature is different, and he is not like us, and his eyes are as the rays of the sun, and his countenance is glorious. This is according to sacred-texts.com. People mention glowing eyes.

3. The Watchers

The Book of Enoch (1-36) describes the Watchers—angels sent to observe humans—of whom 200 violated their orders by having relations with humans, resulting in the Nephilim race. They further added that the watchers taught humans writing, weaponry, reading, sorcery, cosmetics, and meteorology.

4. The Third Parable 1 Enoch 64-71

Chapters 64-69, as described by readingacts.com, cover the flood's judgment, the fallen angels' sins, and predictions of world destruction. They further added that the flood will be a poison to the kings and princes of the world because they deny “the spirit of the Lord.”

5. The Book of Methuselah

106.13 stated that “The Lord will do new things on Earth, and this I have already seen in a vision, and made known to you.” “For in the generation of my father, Jared, some from the height of Heaven transgressed the word of the Lord, departing from the covenant of Heaven.

6. Sounds like Heaven and Hell

Chapter 18 talks about Enoch’s vision of seeing stones reaching to heaven like the throne of God, alabaster, and the summit of the throne was of sapphire. He describes witnessing a blazing fire and a vast abyss filled with columns of heavenly flames, falling without sky or solid ground, devoid of water or birds—a barren and terrifying scene.

7. How Old Was Enoch?

According to the oldest.org., he did not live quite as long as the other men on this list as he was taken by God when he was 365 years old, which makes him one of the only people other than Elijah that God took to heaven without them dying. Can you imagine living to be 365 years old? Presently people are living to 119 years today. In fact, Kane Tanka, was one of the world’s oldest persons to die in Japan at aged 119 according to Cnn.com. They further added that she was married to a rice shop owner at the age of 19, worked in the family store until she was 103, the second oldest person ever recorded, behind only Jeanne Calment who lived to the age of 122. I can only imagine.

8. Was Enoch a Prophet?

Was Enoch a Prophet? Some individuals affirm that he was indeed. Baptist.net states Enoch foretold the future, walked with God, pleased God, and had life beyond the grave.

9. Was Enoch Taken to Heaven without Dying?

Genesis 5:24 (New International Version) States that Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away. Just imagine being taken up into Heaven.

Enoch’s Childhood

Have you ever wondered about Enoch’s Childhood? What was it like? There is not a lot of mention about his Enoch’s childhood, but at age 65 he fathered Methuselah. According to buildingfaithfamilies.org., he seemingly became a changed man. Genesis 5:21-22. (New International Version) When Enoch had lived 65 years, he became the father of Methuselah After he became the father of Methuselah, Enoch walked faithfully with God 300 years and had other sons and daughters.

Sometimes having children can change people. I remember a conversation with a friend that shared he had done drugs and misled others that followed him with the life of drugs, but after he had his first child which was a daughter he knew he had to change. He shared when he saw his baby girl for the first time, he knew it was time to change and he did. That was a powerful testimony that I will always remember. It just shows what we will do for our children.

I recall that during my upbringing, neither of my parents were involved with the church. I discovered church when I saw my neighbors taking their children to church and I wanted to go. I wanted to see what church was about. I started reading at age 3. I was thirsty. We had no books in our home. But we did have a Bible. I would read it. I wanted to know more about God. When I became an adult, I made sure to take my children to church, I wanted them to know about God and the church. I even had everyone of them dedicated to God as babies.

Have you had children and decided you wanted to become a better person because of it? Have you had children and decided you wanted to be the best example for them that you could? It appears that Enoch had that sentiment when he had Methuselah.
