Chapter Overview

Description

The Book of Enoch is a sweeping apocalyptic vision, told in the voice of Noah’s great-grandfather, Enoch. It moves like a dream—part warning, part comfort—through rebellion in heaven, corruption on earth, a flood that resets the human story, and a quiet, persistent hope of renewal. Long treasured in the Ethiopian Orthodox tradition and rediscovered by the West in Ethiopian Ge’ez manuscripts, Enoch became one of the most influential works behind ancient Jewish and early Christian imagination, especially around angels, demons, resurrection, and a coming “Son of Man.”

In this 30-minute narrative, we follow Enoch’s journeys: the Watchers who descend to earth and corrupt humankind, the binding of the rebel leaders, and Enoch’s tour of the cosmos where justice is already arranged like carefully measured chords. The book’s heart rests in its Parables: a radiant figure—the Son of Man—enthroned beside the “Head of Days,” lifting the poor and dismantling the proud.

We’ll also step into Enoch’s intricate astronomy, not as a modern science lesson, but as a vision of a moral universe where light and seasons keep oaths. Finally, Enoch’s epistle lands close to home: wise counsel for living clean and steady while history lurches toward judgment and restoration.

Who Should Listen

  • Listeners curious about the origins of angelology, demons, and apocalyptic hope

About the Authors

The Book of Enoch is a pseudepigraphal work traditionally attributed to Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah. Composed in stages between the 3rd century BCE and the 1st century CE, it survives most fully in Ge’ez (Classical Ethiopic) and is considered canonical in the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church. Its themes—angelic rebellion, cosmic order, judgment, resurrection, and a pre-existent “Son of Man”—profoundly influenced Jewish apocalyptic literature and early Christian thought.
