Four big problems:
- This would suggest we should also throw out all other apocalyptic literature in the Bible like Daniel, much of the minor prophets, and Ezekiel because they also use symbolic and cryptic language.
- This assumes that because the language is symbolic, impressionistic, and cryptic that it cannot be understood.
I agree that Revelation is a difficult book to interpret and apply. But I also believe, after teaching on this book for several months, that it is very understandable and applicable to Christians today and we need to hear its message.
Hello ToL.
What is your and others view of the book of Enoch?
Mountains were giants (cool pics!)
Not "most" of them like this says, I'd wager...
If you want to skip the bible texts and whatever other intro text there is, go to 3&1/2 minutes in:

Zech 4:7 Who are you, great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you are a plain; and he will bring out the capstone with shouts of 'Grace, grace, to it!'"
That brings light to a lot of Bible scriptures.
Yahweh actually speaks to the mountains in the Bible.
Numerous miracles and heavenly events transpired on some of the mountings in Israel.
Eze 36:
1 “And you, son of man,
prophesy to the mountains of Israel, and say, ‘
O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD!
8 “
But you,
O mountains of Israel, you shall shoot forth your branches and yield your fruit to My people Israel, for they are about to come.
Mic 6:2 Hear, O you mountains, the LORD's complaint,
And you strong foundations of the earth;
For the LORD has a complaint against His people,
And He will contend with Israel.
Rev 17:9
“Here
is the mind which has wisdom: The seven heads are
seven mountains on which the woman sits.

It is fascinating how the human mind seems to automatically search for patterns --- in geological features, in clouds, in tea leaves, etc. And when we look for patterns, be it consciously or unconsciously, we will find patterns.
Great.
Now read the bible and search for patterns between Enoch & Genesis and crypto-archeology.

Enoch is not in the Bible. It is unBiblical, non Canonical.
Enoch most certainly IS in the Bible... his book is not part of the canon, however.
It would be more accurate to say the book claimed to be written by Enoch.
Hello. I read thru it just once back in about 2006 and was interested in this 10 week prophecy.
Here is a discussion thread on it for those interested.
The 10 weeks of Enoch, inspired or not?
Enoch. The prophecy of the 10 weeks
The Messianic Way Blog | The Messianic Way
Although the book of Enoch falls outside the current canon of scripture, it is an important book that tells us a lot about the important beliefs of the early church and the Jews of that time. It has been included in the canon at times in the past and was clearly a very important book to the early Messianic believers and was usually found bound together with the Gospels and Epistles of the Early church. Many copies were found at Qumran.
The authorship of the book is contested because its style changes several times through its text which would indicate more that one writer. This may be in part due to the fact that many of the early works of Judaism were preserved through an oral tradition and later put into written form. I am not a biblical scholar and have no basis to prove this, so it is then my opinion that this is the case.
But the fact remains that it is without a doubt a pre- Christian writing by as much as a 200 years and was accepted by the early church as a work handed down from Enoch. The accuracy of the prophetic writings in it speak for themselves. Many copies of Enoch was found among the Dead Sea Scrolls which date to at least 160 BCE.
Jesus himself makes reference to its teachings and uses some of the same expressions which makes you believe that He was very familiar with the book. Jude also quotes from the book as does John in the revelation....................
3. And Enoch began to recount from the books and said;
I was born the seventh in the first week,
While judgement and righteousness still endured.
4. And after me there shall arise in the second week great wickedness,
And deceit shall have sprung up;
And in it there shall be the first end. And in it a man shall be saved;
And after it is ended unrighteousness shall grow up;
And a law shall be made for the sinners.
5. And after that in the third week at it’s close
A man shall be elected as the plant of righteous Judgement.
And his posterity shall become the plant of righteousness for evermore.
6. And after that in the fourth week, at it’s close,
Visions of the holy and righteous shall be seen.
And a law for all generations and an enclosure shall be made for them.
7. And after that in the fifth week, at it’s close,
The house of glory and dominion shall be built for ever.
8. And after that in the sixth week all who live in it shall be blinded,
And the hearts of all of them shall godlessly forsake wisdom.
And in it a man shall ascend; and at it’s close the house of dominion shall be burnt with fire,
And the race of the chosen root shall be dispersed.
9. And after that in the seventh week shall an apostate generation arise,
and many shall be it’s deeds, And all it’s deed shall be apostate.
10. And at it’s close shall be elected The elect righteous of the eternal plant of righteousness,
To receive sevenfold instruction concerning all His creation.
12. And after that there shall be another, the eighth week, that of righteousness,
And a sword shall be given to it that a righteous Judgement may be executed on the oppressors,
And the sinners shall be delivered into the hands of the righteous.
13. And at it’s close they shall acquire houses through their righteousness,
And a house shall be built for the Great King in glory for evermore,
And all mankind shall look to the path of uprightness.
14. And after that in the ninth week, the righteous judgment
shall be revealed to the whole world,
And all the works of the godless shall vanish from all the earth.
And the world shall be written down for destruction.
15. And after this, in the tenth week in the seventh part,
There shall be the great eternal judgement, in which
He will execute vengeance amongst the angels.
16. And the first heaven shall depart and pass away,
and a new heaven shall appear, and all the powers of the heavens shall give sevenfold light.
17. And after that there will be many weeks without number forever.

Book of Enoch - Wikipedia
The
Book of Enoch (also
1 Enoch;
[1] Ge'ez: መጽሐፈ ሄኖክ
mets’iḥāfe hēnoki)
is an
ancient Jewish religious work, ascribed by tradition to
Enoch, the great-grandfather of
Noah.
Enoch warrants special attention for the unique material it holds, such as the origins of
supernatural demons and giants, why some angels fell from heaven, details explaining why the
Great Flood was morally necessary, and prophetic exposition of the
thousand-year reign of the Messiah.
The older sections (mainly in the Book of the Watchers) of the text are estimated to date from about 300 BCE, and the latest part (Book of Parables) probably to the
1st century BCE.
[2]
It is not part of the
biblical canon as used by
Jews, apart from
Beta Israel.
Most Christian denominations and traditions may accept the Books of Enoch as having some historical or theological interest, but they generally regard the Books of Enoch as noncanonical or noninspired.
It is regarded as
canonical by the
Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church and
Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church, but not by any other
Christian groups.[

Some of the authors of the New Testament were familiar with some of the content of the story.
[4] A short section of 1 Enoch (1:9) is cited in the
New Testament,
Epistle of Jude,
Jude 1:14–15, and is attributed there to "Enoch the Seventh from Adam" (1 En 60:8), although this section of 1 Enoch is a
midrash on Deuteronomy 33:2. Several copies of the earlier sections of 1 Enoch were preserved among the
Dead Sea Scrolls.[

This Ethiopic version of the Book of Enoch is deemed by scholars to be older by several centuries than the Slavonic one, and portions of that older version are in turn known to have been based on Keepers of the Secrets 129 even older manuscripts, such as a lost Book of Noah. Fragments of the Enoch books were discovered among the Dead Sea scrolls. The astronomical-calendrical tale of Enoch thus goes back into great antiquity - perhaps, as the Bible asserts, to pre-Diluvial times. ~ Z.S.

Im listening to Enoch for the first time in my life and I Cry as I wait in traffic( truly a blessing in disguise) of how we've been robbed from this truth.
I'm a sinner in capital letters and hope God will have mercy on my soul as I awaken to this false reality that we've been subject to from day 1! Lord Jesus Christ, son of God, have mercy on me. I sinner!

Jesus Christ / Yeshua spoke about Enoch as it was biblical in those days. But the False Idol Worshipping Catholic Church decided to leave it out of the Bible. Why? They would rather commit Pagan Sun Worship. Or Pray and Praise Mary rather than the Trinity God Our Father, Yeshua His Son and The Holly Spirit
