Step into the mystery of the Book of Enoch—an ancient, pseudepigraphal work from Second Temple Judaism that dives into fallen angels (the Watchers), human women, and the Nephilim. This video breaks down the five sections of 1 Enoch, explores why most Jewish and Christian traditions do not include it in the biblical canon, and explains how the New Testament Book of Jude quotes Enoch without making it scripture. If you’ve heard the debate about Genesis 6, the “sons of God,” and the “daughters of men,” this guide will help you understand where Enoch fits—and where it doesn’t. Packed with SEO-rich history, canon, apocrypha, pseudepigrapha, fallen angels, and Second Temple Judaism, this is your clear, engaging roadmap to a controversial text.
We cover the Book of the Watchers, the Parables, the Heavenly Luminaries, the Dreams and Visions, and the Epistle of Enoch. Learn how Enoch portrays divine judgment, a heavenly “Son of Man,” cosmic calendars, symbolic visions of Israel, and the final resurrection. Understand why the Ethiopian Orthodox Church includes Enoch, why most traditions don’t, and how Jude 1:14–15 cites 1 Enoch 1:9 without canonizing the entire work. This is a historically grounded, intriguing look at apocalyptic literature, the Nephilim, fallen angels, and the roots of early Jewish and Christian thought.
