Ancient Book of Jubilees

by Ken Johnson

Almost lost over the centuries, the Book of Jubilees was retrieved from the Ethiopic language, translated into English by R. H. Charles, and was recently found among the Dead Sea Scrolls. The Book of Jubilees is also called the Little Genesis, Book of Divisions, and the Apocalypse of Moses. It repeats the events of Genesis and Exodus from Creation to the Exodus of the Children of Israel from Egypt. It recounts the events in sets of jubilees (sets of 49 years) and gives additional details such as the fall of the angels, and the creation and destruction of the Nephilim. It also mentions the three classes of pre-flood Nephilim. It details the fact that one-tenth of their disembodied spirits would remain on earth as demons to tempt people and nine-tenths would be chained until the Tribulation Period. Learn what secrets this Dead Sea Scroll holds. Compare the mysterious Qumran calendar with that of the Bible to learn more about biblical prophecies. The commentary is written from a fundamentalist Christian perspective. Brought to you by Biblefacts Ministries, biblefacts.org

[Lavern Winters · Rating 4 out of 5]

This translation and commentary on aThe Ancient Book of Jubilees was an interesting and informative read. There are discrepancies between The Bible and other ancient texts and the author pointed these Putin the numerous notes throughout the text. It is apparent this ancient text was written by numerous individuals through the use of self identifying words. There are many places where the author refers to "I" and "we" in the same passage. The translation reads much like a King James version of the Bible using a lot of thees, thous, ye, thine, etc... Sometimes it feels like part of the text is meant to give the impression an angel wrote the part, some parts are first person, others third person. All those things aside, with notations on deviations from cannon, I think this a good extra-Biblical text to gain further insight into actual scripture.
