While some churches today include Enoch as part of the biblical canon (for example, the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church and Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church), other Christian denominations and scholars accept it only as having historical or theological noncanonical interest and frequently use or assigned it as supplemental materials within academic settings to help students and scholars discover or better understand the cultural and historical context of the early Christian church. The Book of Enoch is therefore intended to be an important supplemental resource for assisting serious researchers and students in the study of the Bible and the early Church Age.

One of the most important Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha works of the Second Temple Period is Enoch.

According to the biblical narrative (Genesis 5:21-24), Enoch lived only 365 years (far less than the other patriarchs in the period before the Flood).

Enoch walked with GOD.

Enoch is a figure who receives direct personal revelation from God. He sees the magnificence of God and begins to preach to those around him against sin. He warns that the sinners will be winnowed and that God himself will appear on Mount Sinai to judge the humans as well as the fallen angels on Earth. Among the more controversial material within this text is the detailed account it gives of fallen angels on earth and their cursed offspring, the Nephilim. Azazel features heavily as the instigator of metal weapon production, the use of cosmetics and advocate of widespread promiscuity and fornication. In this book, the figure of Enoch is charged with the knowledge of God's chosen and brutal punishment for the Nephilim, their human mothers and their Angel fathers.The Book of Enoch is a pseudoepigraphal work (a work that claims to be by a biblical character). The Book of Enoch was not included in either the Hebrew or most Christian biblical canons, but could have been considered a sacred text by the sectarians. The original Aramaic version was lost until the Dead Sea fragments were discovered. This is a compilation of several separate works, most of which are apocalyptic. Its oldest portion is the Apocalypse of Weeks, written shortly before the Maccabean uprising of 167 BC against the Seleucids. The Ethiopic Book of Enoch is called a pseudepigraphical work, meaning one that is not included in any canon of scripture, outside of even the Apocrypha. The only complete extant version is an Ethiopic translation of a previous Greek translation made in Palestine from the original Hebrew or Aramaic. The Book of the Watcher, tells the story of fallen angels from Gen 6:1-4 that took wives, created the Nephilim, and taught advanced technology to mankind, ultimately leading to the great flood and their destruction. The Parables of Similitude, is an apocalyptic book about the Son of Man and the Ancient of Days. These ancient prophecies of Jesus are directly in line with what we find in the Bible, and are remarkably similar to The Book of Revelation. The Book of the Courses of the Heavenly Luminaries is a detailed account of the stars and their functions. The Dream Visions is the prophecy of all human history, from the creation of mankind all the way to the end times and the final judgement. The past, present, and future are foretold in grand detail. The prophecy of weeks is similar to the prophecy structure in the book of Daniel. The Noah Fragments is the untold story of Noah from the Bible. We learn more about his mission to save all humanity and the struggles of his father Lamech and his grandfather Methuselah. Finally, included herein are all known fragments of The Book of Giants. Each work is independent, but all the works are bound by a common theme: the punishment of the wicked and the blessedness of the righteous.

The Book of Enoch is one of the most notable extant apocryphal works of the Bible. Estimated to have been written around 300 BC, this ancient Jewish religious work is ascribed by tradition to Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah. Consisting of five distinct sections, the book begins with the fall of the Watchers, angels who fathered the Nephilim, the offspring of sons of god and the daughters of men. The book follows Enoch as he travels through Heaven and expands more thoroughly, than the Book of Genesis, on the early kingdom of Israel and the events leading up to the great flood of Noah. Many themes common to other Biblical apocalyptic stories can be found here: despair by the godly for their world, a world where goodness did not matter and where evil triumphed and prospered. With evil everywhere around, the Apocalyptists saw no hope for the world as it was, it must be destroyed if the good were ever to triumph. This edition follows the translation of R. H. Charles.

Not only does Jesus reference The Book of Enoch in the Gospels and his teachings; but also Jude, the brother of Jesus, directly quotes from it in the Book of Jude, the second to the last book of the New Testament. The similarities from the ancient Book of Enoch and the New Testament simply cannot be ignored. Keep in mind that even today we have copies of the Book of Enoch that are older than Jesus.

Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. (Mat 5:5)

The elect shall possess light, joy and peace, and they shall inherit the earth. (Enoch 5:7 )

The Father judges no man, but has committed all judgment unto the Son (John 5:22)

The principal part of the judgment was assigned to him, the Son of Man. (Enoch 69:27 )

...Shall inherit everlasting life.

...Those who will inherit eternal life (Enoch 40:9 )

Woe unto you that are rich For you have received your comfort. (Luke 6:24)

Woe to you who are rich, for in your riches have you trusted; but from your riches you shall be removed. (Enoch 94:8)

You also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. (Mat. 19:28)

I will place each of them on a throne of glory. (Enoch 108:12 )

Woe unto that man through whom the Son of Man is betrayed It had been good for that man if he had not been born. (Mat. 26:24)

Where will the habitation of sinners be . . . who have rejected the Lord of Spirits? It would have been better for them, had they never been born. (Enoch 38:2)

...between us and you there is a great gulf fixed. (Luke 16:26)

...by a chasm . . . are their souls are separated (Enoch 22: 9,11)

In my Father's house are many mansions (John 14:2)

In that day shall the Elect One sit upon a throne of glory, and shall choose their conditions and countless habitations. (Enoch 45:3 )

...that you may be called the children of light (John 12:36)

...the good from the generation of light (Enoch 108:11 )

...the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. (John 4:14)

...all the thirsty drank, and were filled with wisdom, having their habitation with the righteous, the elect, and the holy. (Enoch 48:1 )

The one direct quote in the New Testament is by Jude, a brother of Jesus Christ:

Jude 1:14-15, quoting Enoch 1:9

And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of his saints, to execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches, which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.

The Book of Enoch is the most notable extant apocalyptic work outside the canonical Scriptures. It describes the fall of the Watchers, the angels who fathered the Nephilim (cf. the bene Elohim, Genesis 6:1-2). The fallen angels went to Enoch to intercede on their behalf with God after he declared to them their doom. The remainder of the book describes Enoch's visit to Heaven in the form of a vision, and his revelations.

The Book of Enoch is an ancient Jewish apocalyptic text traditionally attributed to Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah. It comprises several sections, including the Book of the Watchers, which details the fall of angels known as Watchers who descended to Earth, intermarried with human women, and fathered the Nephilim-giant offspring that led humanity into corruption. This transgression prompted God to decree a great flood to cleanse the Earth. Other sections, such as the Book of Parables and the Astronomical Book, explore themes of divine judgment, the nature of the cosmos, and prophetic visions concerning the Messiah's future reign. Throughout, Enoch serves as a scribe and intermediary, receiving divine revelations and imparting them to humanity.

The Book of Enoch is historically significant as one of the earliest apocalyptic texts, influencing Jewish and early Christian beliefs on angels, divine judgment, and messianic prophecy. Though not included in the Hebrew Bible, it remains part of the Ethiopian Orthodox canon and inspired early Christian writings, particularly regarding the fate of fallen angels and the end times. Its themes shaped Judeo-Christian views on morality and eschatology, contributing to the foundation of apocalyptic literature.

An excluded book of the Bible that tells the story of the fallen angels in Genesis who took human wives, created the giant Nephilim, revealed the secrets of advanced technology to mankind, and ultimately, brought about the Great Flood.
