6. THE BOOK OF ENOCH - The Entire Story

The Book of Enoch is one of the most controversial texts ever left out of the Bible. Written more than two thousand years ago, and said to have been composed by the ancient scribe Enoch, the only man in the Book of Genesis who never died, it tells of a world before the flood, when two hundred rebellious angels abandoned heaven to take human wives, when their monstrous offspring, the giants known as the Nephilim, ravaged the earth, and when a single man was carried to the ends of creation and shown things no other prophet had ever seen. Rejected by the early Christian church in the fifth century and lost to the western world for over a thousand years, the Book of Enoch was recovered by chance in the eighteenth century in the mountains of Ethiopia, where it had been preserved by the Ethiopian church since the fourth century. Its authenticity was finally confirmed in 1947 with the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, where eleven separate manuscripts of the book were found among the ruins, the oldest of them written two centuries before the birth of Christ. In this video, we tell the entire story of the Book of Enoch from beginning to end. The fall of the Watchers. The rise of the Nephilim. The great flood that was sent to wipe them from the earth. The journeys of Enoch to the ends of the world, to the mountain of the dead, and to the throne of God himself. And the extraordinary history of how a book left out of the Bible was lost, rediscovered, and finally returned to the world.
