The Book of Enoch

Today, I opened a new blog. It is www.enochthegnostic.blogspot.com. The purpose of this new blog is not to substitute for this one, but to enhance its range. The Book of Enoch is a long one and deserves its own treatment. Therefore, I plan to manage two blogs at the same time. I hope that you will review both blogs on a regular basis. I feel that the Book of Enoch is a very important book that was left out of the canon for some reason. It deserves your time and attention. For those of you who do not know who Enoch is, I suggest that you review Genesis 5:18-24. These verses say: "When Jared had lived one hundred sixty-two years he became the father of Enoch. Jared lived after the birth of Enoch eight hundred years and had other sons and daughters. Thus, all the days of Jared were nine hundred and sixty-two years; and he died. When Enoch had lived sixty-five years, he became the father of Methuselah. Enoch walked with God after the birth of Methuselah three hundred years and had other sons and daughters. Thus, all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty-five years. Enoch walked with God; then he was no more because God took him." The Book of Enoch fills in the many spaces left by these very limited verses. It tells you much more about his relationship with God and with the Angels of God. I look forward to filling in my own Gnostic view as to this Book and its startling conclusions.
