The Book of the Secrets of Enoch (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419154676)

The Book of the Secrets of Enoch is an ancient text that is believed to have been written between the 2nd and 1st centuries BCE. It is an apocryphal book, meaning that it is not considered part of the biblical canon by most Christian denominations. The book contains a series of revelations given to the biblical figure Enoch by God, in which he is shown the secrets of the universe and the workings of the heavenly realm. The book is divided into several sections, each of which contains different revelations and teachings. In the first section, Enoch is taken on a journey through the heavens and shown the various orders of angels and their roles in the divine hierarchy. He is also shown the fate of the wicked and the righteous after death. In the second section, Enoch is shown the history of the world from its creation to the end of time. He is given a detailed account of the fall of Adam and Eve, the rise of Cain and his descendants, and the various civilizations that have come and gone throughout history. The third section contains various prophecies and teachings about the coming of the Messiah and the end of the world. Enoch is shown the fate of the righteous and the wicked at the final judgment, and is given instructions on how to live a righteous life in order to be saved. Overall, The Book of the Secrets of Enoch is a fascinating glimpse into the religious beliefs and cosmology of the ancient world. It offers a unique perspective on the nature of God, the universe, and the destiny of humanity.1 And those men took me and led me up on to the second heaven, and showed me darkness, greater than earthly darkness, and there I saw prisoners hanging, watched, awaiting the great and boundless judgment, and these angels were dark-looking, more than earthly darkness, and incessantly making weeping through all hours.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
