1) The only two officially recognized English translations of the Book of Enoch in existence. Of which, both were translated by highly regarded scholars in the late 19th century (1882 and 1883). As with all works of this nature, the translators made decisions in the course of translation, which do not always totally agree with another translator’s rendering of the same text. By studying these two well-respected texts side-by-side, you will gain powerful insight into this great ancient work.

2) The greatest, most exhaustive, and most respected commentary ever compiled on this great work. Armed with this, you will gain great insights into one of the most cryptic and exotic works ever penned.

3) A loosely translated version taken from the Ge’ez language (from the Ethiopian Bible)

1. It is part of the canonized Christian Bible in Ethiopia until this present day
2. The early Christians commonly quoted it as recognized scripture for 3 centuries, and the Messianic Jews for a total of 4 to 5 centuries.
3. It clearly prophesies a coming Messiah known as the “Son of man” with divine attributes, generated before the creation, who will act directly in the final judgment and sit on a throne of glory (1 Enoch 46:1-4, 48:2-7, 69:26-29). (This is foundational Christian doctrine and the foundation of the canonized Bible).
4. It is clearly quoted by New Testament writers and also parallels, exactly, many themes and topics found in the Old Testament, Torah and New Testament. (i.e.: Jude 1:14-15 is a direct quote from Enoch 1:9)
5. It gives great details about the fall of the angels, including their names and their specific crimes that led to them being cut off from their God – crimes which are only mentioned in generality in the modern Bible.
6. It chronicles, in great detail, the events that led to the birth of the Nephilim and the esoteric knowledge/enlightenment the fallen angels brought to mankind
7. It offers the actual name of the one known today as “Satan”, the “Devil”, and “Lucifer” (these three names, which he is recognized by today, are merely titles for him, not his actual name)
8. It gives deep “behind the scenes” accounts of the events of the fall of Adam and Eve and of the creation account found in the Biblical book of Genesis
9. Written two to three hundred years before the time of Christ, it prophesies details of His arrival, ministry, life, death, and second coming – details, of which many are also found in the Christian New Testament (which, by the way, were written much later than the Book of Enoch). (i.e. Enoch 69:12-29)
10. It has great insight into demonology and end time events

In recent history increasing attention has been given to this apocryphal book. While the information contained in this book was highly regarded as truth by early and modern Christians, Jews, and Muslims – it is understood by many that it is highly improbable that Enoch is the one who actually penned the work. But, rather that someone at a latter date penned the ancient oral traditions of the Hebrews concerning the oracles of the Prophet Enoch.

1 Enoch survives today in the Ge’ez language with small parts being also found in Aramaic and Greek and is considered canonical by the modern day Ethiopian Orthodox Church. It dates back to the 3rd century B.C. or earlier. 2 Enoch survives only in Old Church Slavonic and dates to the 1st century. 3 Enoch survives today in Hebrew and dates back to the 1st century.

Though this book is non-canonical in most Christian churches today, it was quoted by many of the early Church fathers as well as in the canonical New Testament Letter of Jude (Jude 1:14-15 is a direct quote from Enoch 1:9). Another Biblical reference can be found in 1 Peter 3:19,20 which parallels Enoch 21:6. Further, it is argued that all the writers of the New Testament were familiar with it and were influenced by it in thought and writing.

1 Enoch is considered as Scripture by many of the early Church Fathers as Athenagoras, Clement of Alexandria, Irenaeus and Tertullian who wrote c. 200 that the Book of Enoch had been rejected by the Jews because it contained prophecies pertaining to Christ. There is little doubt that 1 Enoch was influential in molding New Testament doctrines about the Messiah, demonology, the resurrection, and eschatology[2]:19. The Book of Enoch influenced also many Biblical apocrypha, as Jubilees, 2 Baruch, 2 Esdras, Apocalypse of Abraham and obviously 2 Enoch.

The Book of Enoch describes the fall of the Watchers, the angels who fathered the Nephilim. The fallen angels went to Enoch to intercede on their behalf with God after he declared to them their doom. The remainder of the book describes Enoch's visit to Heaven in the form of a vision, and his revelations of the future, of demonology, and of the coming Messiah.
