A Volume ContainingThe First Book of Enoch (The Ethiopic Book of Enoch)The Second Book of Enoch (The Slavonic Secrets of Enoch)The Third Book of Enoch (The Hebrew Book of Enoch)The Book of Fallen Angels, The Watchers, and the Origins of Expanded Commentary on Enoch, Angels, Prophecies and Calendars in the Sacred TextsThe Books of A Complete Volume Containing - 1 Enoch (The Ethiopic Book of Enoch), 2 Enoch (The Slavonic Secrets of Enoch), 3 Enoch (The Hebrew Book of Enoch). Now, the major books making up the body of Enochian literature are presented to the public in a single volume. Paul Schnieders is an author of the best-selling work on "The Lost Book of Enoch." His work on both 1 Enoch and 2 Enoch have met with wide acceptance and plaudits. This expansive volume contains copious notes and commentaries in all three books, designed to guide the reader through the difficulties of language, theology, and mystical references. It is a necessary resource for those curious about Angels, Demons, Watchers, Nephilim, Melchizedek, the angel Metatron, or the Merkabah (chariot of God). This volume is an indispensable resource for those engaged in the study of religion, religious history, angelology, demonology, mysticism or the Kabbalah.
I'm giving it 5 stars. I have no idea if it really is a "lost book of the bible" as they say because it had some inconsistencies with my bible which is a KJV. That's not saying it's wrong or anything I'm just saying there are things that don't line up in my opinion. But I did like the stories. The way heaven is described by Enoch in this book is breathtaking and definitely made me excited to go one day.
The Great Grandfather of Noah, Enoch, was told by angels how God would destroy humanity. He was told by angels to write down the information and give it to his family. Noah had to have saved Enoch's scriptures or they wouldn't exist today. Verified by the Qumran Cave scrolls, the history of early Earth and the people upon it within the Books of Enoch are fascinating. Enoch had many scribes who participated in the writing of his scriptures. These three books are combined into one by Paul Schnieders. There is some repetition within the three. Enoch is mentioned in the Old Testament but his scriptures were not included. Scholars report his scriptures were not used in the Old Testament as they were primarily prophecies of "The Elect One" who would come to Earth as the Son of God. Anyone who is Christian should read these books to understand the background of Noah who was the first white man to be born on Earth. Angels are explained and discussed along with the different levels of heaven. Enoch explained his first ascent into heaven and his return to warn of the future of mankind. There is so much written in the volume, my book is filled with underlined and highlighted passages. I highly recommend this book to those who want to understand more about all that transpired on Earth before the deluge. I read it often and am never finished. Like my Bibles, it remains well used.
Difficult to understand at times but also could be illuminating. A good look at what was out there aside from the Gospels themselves. Mentions many things that are not covered completely in the Scripture.
I.liked the explanation of the heavens and different realms. The different types of angels there are, and what heaven the are I charge over going more into depth about life after death and Sheol. Very intriguing as it explains storiea of the bibles stories better so that one can understand .
Interesting collection of suppressed non-canon Biblical works. Enoch was said to have been the only man to enter Heaven without having to endure death.
This book was breathtaking for me. The tone of the book is similar to the book of revelations. Enoch reveals mysteries of the creation, the different hierarchies of heavenly and satanic angels, and their dealings with humanity. He described Heaven in all of its splendor, and duties of specific angels. This book helped me connect missing links to my understanding of how the spirit world is connected to the visible realm that we currently live in. I believe that this book could have easily been one of the books of the original canonized books of the Bible!!!
This book helps you to understand who Enoch really is and how so much God the father feels about being obedience and living a life that he wants for you.. This book also allows you to see the secrets between Enoch and God. If I could I would gift the hold world the book. Please get it and read it. May God bless you
Did not finish. Insufferable old testament moralizing mixed with poor exposition and minutiae. I was willing to overlook a lot but the historical interest does not make this worth reading in its entirety. I'm going to read the Book of Job as a palate cleanse.
I enjoyed reading this book. It was very informative and I learn a lot more about the biblical scriptures . It was things in this book that blew my mind, as well as learning about Angels, Nephilim, and God's structure in heaven.
This is a good book. Enjoyed learning about Enoch. Would recommend to any Christian. As a new Christian this certainly opened my eyes and answered many questions.
It’s the book of Enoch. There are free editions available anywhere online. However, this edition has been edited well and is full of all the pertinent information.
Actualmente me encuentro leyendo la Biblia, de pasta a pasta, en la traducción alemana de Lutero, y este libro, adquirido gracias al apoyo de Antonio Santoyo, es indispensable complemento a dicha lectura, por tratarse de escrituras no incluidas en el canon aceptado aunque eran conocidas y usadas por los primeros cristianos como demuestran los más recientes hallazgos arqueológicos. Excelente edición de lo que, tal vez, sea la primera traducción moderna de estas escrituras tanto tiempo perdidas. Al ser redescubiertas a principios del siglo XIX se tradujeron primeramente al inglés y luego a otros idiomas, a partir de fragmentos y papiros descubiertos en diversas partes del mundo. Enoc es un personaje mucho más relevante de lo que las breves menciones de su nombre en el Antiguo Testamento dejan entrever. El séptimo Patriarca después de Adán, fue hijo de Jared y padre de Matusalén; sus visiones y profecías, como aparecen en los Libro de Enoc, son de carácter mesiánico y muy relevantes para la historia de la Iglesia de Jesucristo de los Santos de los Últimos Días, dado que José Smith, el Profeta, recibió muchas revelaciones concernientes a su ministerio, las cuales fueron luego corroboradas al descubrirse los papiros Etíopes de los que se tradujo el presente volumen. Muy recomendable a pesar de lo repetitivo y cansado que resulta leer sus herméticas profecías y enseñanzas.
