If you've never read the Book of Enoch, it's filled with visions of heaven, fallen angels, the origins of demons, and apocalyptic prophecy. It was influential during Jesus' time, but why isn't it in the Bible today? If Jude, Peter, and other New Testament writers referenced it, should we at least read it? And here's something most people never realize: The only full copy of 1 Enoch that exists today is from the 15th century in Ethiopia. Yet fragments of it predate the New Testament and appear in multiple ancient languages. But Did Jesus Quote It? Let's Look at the Evidence Jude 14-15 says, "And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied… Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, to execute judgment upon all." 1 Enoch 1:9 says, "Behold, He comes with ten thousands of His holy ones to execute judgment upon all." That's not just an allusion-it's a direct quote. Now, consider Jesus' words in Matthew 12:43-45 about unclean spirits roaming the earth. 1 Enoch 15:7 describes the disembodied spirits of the Nephilim as cursed to wander the earth. Coincidence? Or was Jesus confirming a widely known Jewish belief that came from Enoch? Even More Connections Between Enoch and the New Testament Jesus' title, the Son of Man, in Matthew 24:30 appears multiple times in 1 Enoch before the Gospels. James 2:19 says, "The devils believe, and tremble." 1 Enoch 13 says, "And they all became terrified, and trembled." 2 Peter 2:4 speaks of angels bound in chains in darkness-this idea is found only in 1 Enoch. Could it be that Jesus and the Apostles spoke to an audience that was familiar with Enoch? And if so, what does that mean for us today? So, Should Christians Read the Book of Enoch? It's not about whether Enoch should be canonized, but whether it gives us valuable insight into the worldview of Jesus, the Apostles, and early believers. What do you think? Should we take Enoch more seriously? Let me know in the comments. Comment "I Read Enoch!" so I can notice you. Want to Go Deeper? Watch This Next!
