The Enoch Factor PDF Download

One might ask why there is so much interest in this obscure little apocryphal book written under the assumed name Enoch? If we look at the book of Luke where Jesus is describing for His disciples the time of His return in Luke 17:26 "Just as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of Man. They were eating and drinking and marrying and being given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all." We may want to know in greater detail just exactly what it was like during the time of Noah. Reading the first chapter of the Book of Enoch we find "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 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, 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." So not only does Luke and Mathew for that matter tell us that Jesus return will come at time like the time of Noah and the flood, but the Book of Enoch begins by telling us it is written not for those of Enoch's generation, but for a generation in the distant future when the Holy Great One will tread upon the earth and He will appear in the strength of His might from the Heaven of Heavens. From The reference in the Letter of Jude 1:15 quoting Enoch regarding the return of Jesus, to the passages in Mathew and Luke regarding the time of Christ's return to be like the time of Noah, and considering Enoch's claim to be written for the elect of the generation alive during the time of the Holy Great One's coming to Earth I believe the Book of Enoch deserves a serious read.
