The text known as "Second Enoch," was discovered in 1886 by Professor Sokolov in the archives of the Belgrade Public Library. The Second Book of Enoch, or 2 Enoch was written in the latter half of the first century A.D. but had gone through alterations and additions to make it more acceptable to the Christian community. It was written in Slavonic but had evidence of being translated from another language. 2 Enoch has also been known by the title "The Secrets of Enoch." 2 Enoch and is an expansion of Genesis 5:21-32, taking the reader from the time of Enoch to the onset of the great flood of Noah's day.
The Second Book of Enoch was originally written in Greek at Alexandria although some parts of the text were written in Hebrew in Palestine. It is dated to the 1st century prior to the destruction of the Temple in 70 CE. Two angels take Enoch into six heavens. Enoch is then taken by Gabriel into the seventh heaven and then by Michael into the Lord's presence. This book contains the extended version of 2 Enoch, The Exaltation of Melchizedek, and is an easy to read translation, with notes and cross references to both scripture and contemporary writings.
This is a translation by Dr. Edward Hammond. The First Book of Enoch was lost for centuries to the western world although it was kept by the Ethiopian church. In 1773 the Scottish explorer James Bruce heard that the Book of Enoch may have been in Ethiopia so traveled there and procured three copies. In 1821 Richard Laurence, a professor of Hebrew at Oxford, produced the first English translation. Fragments of ten Enoch manuscripts were found among the Dead Sea Scrolls. It is quoted by New Testament Book of Jude. This book contains all sections of The First Book of Enoch: The Book of the Watchers The Book of Parables of Enoch The Astronomical Book The Book of Dream Visions The Epistle of Enoch It is of particular interest to anyone with an interest in angels and demons, or Bible history in general. The Books of Enoch: The Complete Set also contains 2 Enoch (also known as The Slavonic Enoch, or The Secrets of Enoch) and contains the Extended Version; and 3 Enoch (also known as The Hebrew Book of Enoch.)
‘SECRETS OF ENOCH INSIGHTS’ is a sequel to my first ‘INSIGHTS’ books published in 2018 - which was called ‘ENOCH INSIGHTS’ and was based on the 1st Book of Enoch. The ‘Secrets of Enoch Insights’ is based on the 2nd Book of Enoch. Both these books go together like hand and glove. The 2 books complement each other as I am sure that Enoch himself originally intended. My INSIGHTS books are designed to take the original text of the ancient Hebrew books and make them much easier to understand with definition of words. There are many comments and commentaries along with cross-bible verses. You will find verses in this book showing what it also said in 1st Enoch when dealing with a similar topic. I now have published ‘9 INSIGHTS’ books based on either ancient Hebrew books or Apocryphal books, which were also originally written in Hebrew then translated into Greek around 100-300 BCE and then Latin then as in the case of this Slavonic translation, finally into English. There are many amazing things written by Enoch of old in this book. There are truths which expose the status quo of modern thinking. This book describes PRE-CREATION and how God allowed both the LIGHT and the DARKNESS for an important purpose. This book also shows that the Holy Spirit is in fact female, just like in the Book of Proverbs. All ancient Hebrew books attest to the Holy Spirit being feminine.
This is not so much a second edition as a new book. A brief comparison of the first edition and the present work will make this clear even to the cursory reader. Alike in the translation and in the commentary it forms a vast advance on its predecessor. The translation in the first edition was made from Dillmann's edition of the Ethiopic text, which was based on five MSS. With a view to this translation the present editor emended and revised Dillmann's text in accordance with nine hitherto uncollated Ethiopic MSS. in the British Museum, and the Greek and Latin fragments which had just come to light, but notwithstanding every care he felt his work in this respect to be of a wholly provisional character. From the date of the publication of the first edition in 1893 he steadily made preparation for an edition of the Ethiopic text and of the Greek and Latin fragments. This text, which is exhaustive of existing textual materials in these languages, was published by the University Press in 1906, and from this text the present translation is made. A new and revolutionary feature in the translation is due to the editor's discovery of the poetical structure of a considerable portion of the work. The editor calls it revolutionary for it proves to be in respect of the critical problems of the text. By its means the lost original of the text is not infrequently recovered, phrases and clauses recognized as obvious interpolations, and not a few lines restored to their original context, whose claims to a place in the text were hitherto ignored on the ground of the weakness of their textual attestation. The critical advance made in the present volume is not of a revolutionary character, but consists rather in more detailed application of the principles of criticism pursued in the first edition. . . To the biblical scholar and to the student of Jewish and Christian theology 1 Enoch is the most important Jewish work written between 200 BC and 100 AD. -- From the Preface
This book presents a collection of papers from the fifth conference of the Enoch Seminar. The conference re-examined 2 Enoch, an early Jewish apocalyptic text previously known to scholars only in its Slavonic translation, in light of recently identified Coptic fragments.
An apocryphal work from the second century B.C., this volume influenced early Christians, particularly the Gnostics, and introduced such concepts as fallen angels, resurrection, and last judgment.
