So I saw this in a video and decided to check the sources and see if it was true..

1 Enoch 4

Now Luke 3, I will number the generations from Enoch's son, Methuselah.

Wow, it does work. just coincidence, or maybe something else?

The cross did consummate the judgement of angels that sinned, it finalized it. There is no way out of it for them, and it was 70 generations after Enoch.

If true, then judgment day would have happened sometime in the first century?

I think it's more that their fate was sealed by the cross, it's just well, there were literally 70 generations after Enoch to Jesus. That's something significant and .. well, quite accurate for something that's not considered scripture.

It's also true that, well, Jesus rose from the dead, and did not have generations past Himself so.. it's still that 70th generation so it could also refer to the 2nd coming and still be true.

One of the arguments I have heard is that the reason it was not considered scripture, is that the canon old testament (which Enoch would be old testament not new) is what Jews who rejected Jesus selected as canon about 200 years after Jesus, being that Enoch refers to a divine Messiah "Elect one" and "annointed" a LOT, like it's very clear the book is talking about Jesus (and until it'd been found in the Dead Sea scrolls detractors just said obviously this had been written after Revelation), so the Rabbis rejected it because they don't want a canon book that is largely about Jesus. They won't read Isaiah 53 because it's obviously pointing to Jesus as Messiah too.
