The angel, Uriel, who took Enoch on a cosmological tour of the heavens and showed Enoch all the paths/courses of all the heavenly bodies
Oh yeah, good stuff there:
4. And first there goes forth the great luminary, named the Sun, and his circumference is like the circumference of the heaven, and he is quite filled with illuminating and heating fire. 5. The chariot on which he ascends, the wind drives, and the sun goes down from the heaven and returns through the north in order to reach the east, and is so guided that he comes to the appropriate (lit. 'that') portal and shines in the face of the heaven.
Now I'm just an old heathen, but here's something I have observed. The sun rises at. say, 0600 where my daughter lives in Denmark. About 6-7 hours later it rises in Middle Tennessee. Couple of hours after that it pops up in Los Angeles where the Cali kinfolk live We kinda lose track over the Pacific, but about 14 hours after it rises here it'll rise on the Korean fam in Seoul. And to the surprise of roughly no one, it pops up again over the Kattegat about 7 hours later, completing the trip. No detours, no veering to the north, no back tracking eastward. Just a smooth continuous movement, like it was designed by the Ultimate Engineer. not the Rube Goldberg rat's nest described in "Enoch". Speaking of which...
6. In this way he rises in the first month in the great portal, which is the fourth those six portals in the east⌉. 7. And in that fourth portal from which the sun rises in the first month are twelve window-openings, from which proceed a flame when they are opened in their season. 8. When the sun rises in the heaven, he comes forth through that fourth portal thirty mornings in succession, and sets accurately in the fourth portal in the west of the heaven. 9. And during this period the day becomes daily longer and the night nightly shorter to the thirtieth morning. 10. On that day the day is longer than the night by a ninth part, and the day amounts exactly to ten parts and the night to eight parts.
Wow, in and out of "portals", changes in direction, season differences "explained" by transit times between "portals" when the sun can't be seen, ie, night. JUst a couple of little problems there. First, the sun is always visible somewhere. When it's pitch black here I can call the folks in Seoul and find then outside walking the dog. Same with Aarhus. All depends on where on the GLOBE you're located. No "portals", the sun is always right out in the open. You'd think a "holy angel" wouild have known athat, but somehow he didn't. Nother thing. Apparently in "Enoch's" world, the days lenthen and shorten at the same rate everywhere. Not true. Different latitudes ON THE GLOBE,different day and night lengths. Old Uriel missed that too, didn't he? Also different seasons? How'd the holy angel miss all that?
Now I won't suggest that the rest "Enoch" is as ridiculous as THE BOOK OF THE COURSES OF THE HEAVENLY LUMINARIES, because I haven't read it all. I prefer hogwash in smaller quantities, and there's at least 10 years supply in the BOTCOTHL alone. But one thng is certain, pretty much every worth in the "Heavenly Luminaries" book is observably, laughably, false.
showed Enoch all the courses/paths which the sun and moon run around the globe/world/earth, in the heavens each year.
And every word of it rubbish.
The ordinances of the heavenly bodies do not change
Which is to say that it was rubbish then just as it is now.
They still are, though men mess with the calendars, and have to correct them time to time
Still 365.25 days, the time it takes for the eartth to orbit the sun. The Hebrew calendar had it as 360 days, which required annual adjustments.
cause men's faulty calendars get out of sync with the true heavenly calendar set by God from the beginning.
Not true. One orbit is not precisely 365 days, and adjust it every 4 years to sync up.
Israel kept the true calendar
A lunar calenday, with a 360 day year, which was 5.25 days short
every year! More rubbish.
