The Book of Enoch (Chapter 18)
Notes
(18) PROPHECY OF THE ANIMALS (pages 120-135)
Although Enoch says here that it was a dream this is a long and detailed prophecy. The Watchers may have told him to say it was a dream. He has written it in his own words, his style is easily recognizable, particularly where the story is complicated.
Most of the contents of prophecy are now history and are recognizable as bible stories but the end stretches off into the future. There are no names or dates; different animals represent different nations or nationalities. The next chapter, The Ten Weeks, covers the same story but from a different viewpoint.
We start at 85.3 with Adam and Eve, and Cain and Abel. Cain and his descendants are at 85.5. At 85.8 Seth is born to Eve. Next (85.9-10) there is Enoch's family line described in Genesis chapter 5.
The star at 86.1 is the first of the Watchers to appear. They are represented in this story by stars rather than as animals – another indication that they were the real authors or, at least, the editors of this chapter. This first one is the fall of Satan, perhaps a senior member of the Watchers, we don’t seem to have any reliable information on this story, the information here is that Satan caused people to be dissatisfied, they moved around and changed their wives.
The period covered by Enoch's book starts at 86.3 and continues through to 88.3. Here the runaways are described as fallen stars. This is also described at the start of chapter 6 in Genesis - Sons of God (Godlings in Hebrew) desired the daughters of men. These unions gave rise to giants (Nephilim - meaning “to fall”, as in ‘swoop down’).
At 87.2-3 Enoch describes how beings from heaven, and he actually says they looked like white men, raised him to their tower. 88.1-3 seems to describe serious warfare using advanced weapons. It is possible that this war and the events surrounding it are described in the Mahabharata an ancient Hindu text where the gods fight a war with many advanced weapons, nuclear missiles included, judging from the detailed descriptions in the text.
The story of Noah (possibly 17,000 BC) starts at 89.1 and continues through to 89.9. The flood starts at 89.2. Noah's three sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth, give rise to all the animals (nations) at 89.10.
The white bull at the end of 89.10 is Abraham (possibly 2166 - 1991 BC). At 89.11 there is Abraham’s son Ishmael (2080 BC) the wild ass, and Isaac (2066 BC) the white bull.
Isaac has a wild boar, Esau, and a white sheep that is Jacob (2006 BC). At the end of 89.12 Jacob has twelve sons – the patriarchs of the 12 tribes. At 89.13 Joseph is sold to the Ishmaelites or Midianites (asses) and then (1898 BC) to the Egyptians (wolves), see also Genesis 37.25 and 39.1. Genesis 42 onwards is described at 89.14, the time in Egypt. At 89.15, we get to events covered in the book of Exodus.
There is a long section describing the life of Moses (1526 - 1406 BC), at 89.16 – 38; which is probably the reason why Moses believed that Enoch walked with God, (as stated in Genesis 5.22).
89.18 introduces Aaron and the parting of the Red Sea is described by the text at 89.24-25. Crossing the river Jordan (1406 BC), 89.39, is chapter 3 in the book of Joshua. Also in this verse the Judges get a brief mention.
The ram at 89.41 is probably Samuel, followed by Saul, 89.42, (chapter 22 of 1Samuel in the bible), and these are followed by David (1010 - 970 BC) at 89.45. The dogs are the Philistines. The time of Solomon (970 - 930 BC) is at 89.48 and the building of the Temple at 89.50 (the tower). The period after Solomon starts at 89.51 with the deaths of prophets. The one saved, 89.52, is Elijah.
At 89.56, "he left that house of theirs" probably refers to the time of King Manasseh when the Levites took the Ark of the Covenant and left Israel (around 670 BC). They also took Enoch's book, and eventually settled in Ethiopia. The lions in this part are the Assyrians.
There is a change of scene at 89.59, which probably coincides with the religious reforms under Josiah (620 BC) see chapter 34 of 2Chronicles. Then there are the 70 shepherds; these are various religious leaders in Jerusalem since that time.
At 89.66 there is the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem by the Babylonians (587 BC). The return after the exile (538 BC) is at 89.72. The three who return are Ezra, Haggai, and Zechariah, who all have books in the Bible.
The second temple period, is at 89.73, this is described in Malachi (450 - 400 BC) his book is the last book of the Old Testament.
The eagles first appear in the story at 90.2 they are the Romans.
Fifty-eight of the shepherds have served their time by verse 90.5.
The small lambs with open eyes (90.6) may be the Essenes.
At 90.8 there is the death of John the Baptist - by the ravens.
Jesus is the "sheep with the big horn" at 90.9-16. Interestingly, it does not say specifically that he is killed, only that his ministry is stopped by a conspiracy.
At 90.17, the final twelve shepherds have their own book. This must be the Christian era. The prophecy then goes into the future. At 90.18, God strikes the earth in anger. This is the "second end" in the next section. There are no recognizable events after this, the story goes far off into the future and only time will reveal its meaning.

The Book of Enoch (Chapter 20)
Notes
(20) ENOCH'S MESSAGE OF GUIDANCE (pages 143-155)
This is spiritual guidance from Enoch based on the teachings of the Watchers. The message is directed towards his family, and towards later generations, and concerns the importance of avoiding sin during your lifetime.
The message is also directed towards strengthening the spirits of people suffering hard times, and Enoch stresses that God will deal with everyone justly, at the appointed time.
Near to the end of this section (104.11) Enoch encourages people such as me, who will come later and copy his book into other languages, to do it carefully and exactly – which I have tried my best to do.

(19) PROPHECY OF THE TEN WEEKS (pages 137-141)
Here (93.2) Enoch states that the source of the prophecy is the Watchers and the Tablets of Heaven. The dates I have given are obviously very approximate up until Moses but it does seem reasonable that there would be a very long time between Noah and Abraham.

(15) ENOCH'S LETTER TO METHUSELAH (pages 107-108)
This short section may be in the wrong location. It may have been a letter that Enoch gave to his son, with the book. Or it may have originally been at the end of the book, as a conclusion. It stands satisfactorily on its own, so I have kept to the order of the Ethiopian manuscripts.

The Book of Enoch (Chapter 14)
Notes
(14) THE REVOLUTIONS OF THE LIGHTS (pages 93-105)
This chapter explains the path of the Sun in the sky, and how the length of the day varies, and the different seasons. The division of the year into months and the phases of the Moon are explained here.
It is interesting that the variation of day length is described with the day divided into 18 parts. The Watchers may have divided the day into 18 "hours" rather than our 24-hour system.
The seasonal variation in day length described, see 72.14 & 72.26, is more typical of northern latitudes. The situation here in London, in late December (close to the mid-winter solstice), is very similar to the description at 72.26 with a day of 8 hours, and a night of 16 hours.
The section on the Moon contains some accurate information such as that it appears in the sky to be the same size as the Sun, 72.37.
At 75.8-9 Enoch explains how the axis of rotation passes through the middle of the Earth - although I think Enoch was not sure what Uriel means by this.
It should be remembered that the fact that the Earth is spherical and rotating was only widely accepted a few hundred years ago. Before then it was believed that the Sun went round the Earth.
There is a book called ‘Uriel’s Machine’ by C. Knight and Robert Lomas that makes out a good case for this chapter containing the information needed to construct a ‘henge’ - an observatory made from posts or standing stones.
They also suggest Enoch may have been taken to Ireland - where there are a number of unusual and ancient sites still surviving.
When Enoch is talking about the north, at 77.3, he mentions this is the location of the Garden of Righteousness - the homeland of the Watchers.
At 78.4, the fact that the Moon obtains its light from the Sun is revealed. At 78.17 he says the Moon has a face ("looks like a man") for 20 days in the month; we call him "the man in the Moon".
This is more evidence against my theory about the South Sandwich islands being the home of the Watchers because the Moon’s face is not recognizable in the southern hemisphere (because it is upside down).
I suspect that this section about the Moon should be elsewhere in the text, probably near to the previous section about the Moon a few pages before.
There is a description of a book written by the Watchers that Enoch took notes from, (see 81.1-2), Enoch calls it The Tablets of Heaven. Enoch’s prophecy chapters come from this book.

The Book of Enoch (Chapter 13)
Notes
(13) THE STOREHOUSES (pages 87-90)
Enoch often mentions storehouses throughout the book. Storehouses were probably first introduced to Enoch's people by the runaways.
Since they were considered as angels their storehouses were probably considered divine and magical. Many people probably believed that the storehouses created the goods that were stored inside them.
Enoch probably knew better than that since he may have been the keeper of records and inventories. However, he does seem to regard storehouses as basic to God's way of distributing natural things such as the weather.
At the beginning he again describes his journey (70.2-3) - he was lifted on a chariot of the spirit and they went northwest. I assume this is some kind of flying machine today we would probably call it a UFO rather than a chariot of the spirit.
Enoch goes on to describe the land of the angels and a meeting with the Head of Days. Four of the Watchers are named at 71.9; they may have been assigned to look after Enoch because they could speak his language well.
Enoch seems to have asked questions and made some notes, and this section, and the next section, and "the Law of the Stars" is the result.
My opinion is that the Watchers knew the answers to Enoch's questions but it was difficult for them to explain the answers to Enoch in terms that he could understand.
This is shown clearly at 60.14 and 60.15 where Enoch reports an explanation of thunder and lightning and why you see the flash before you hear the bang.
This is common knowledge now - but not to Enoch. I think that Enoch believed, initially, that the bangs and flashes occurred separately made by different processes. He reports that they are not separate although not the same, 60.14, because a spirit makes them inseparable.
Since Enoch assumes that you see and hear things at the instant they happen he finds it hard to understand why the sound has to wait and so brings a storehouse into the explanation.

The Book of Enoch (Chapter 12) - 4/4
Notes
The Third Parable. (Pages 75-85)
The two monsters mentioned at 60.7 are also mentioned in the book of Job possibly the oldest book in the Bible. See Job 40.15 & 41.1. Behemoth is "the beast" and Leviathan is "the monster of chaos,” but what they represent, in Enoch's book, is not made clear.
At 60.10, the Watchers say it is a secret and then they soon change the subject.
At 60.1 Enoch gives his age; it is written as 500 and not 50 in the Ethiopian copies. I feel this must be due to an ancient transcription error so I have substituted 50 as the most likely alternative.
I suspect that Enoch had just had his exact age calculated by the Watchers, based on the story of his birth, which would be a rare thing to know in the days before calendars were in everyday use.

The Book of Enoch (Chapter 12) - 3/4
Notes
The Second Parable. (Pages 64-73)
Here we are introduced to some new characters, there is the Chosen One, or Messiah, and The Head of Days or ‘ancient of days’ (see also 71.10) who appears in Daniel 7:9-10 and seems to represent God.
It is a bit confusing that Enoch sees characters from the future. It may be that the Watchers presented this to Enoch as a theatrical drama so that he could see it and ask questions at the same time.
It was no doubt a deliberate policy not to give actual names so that different readers in different eras would assume they new the names. When I read this, I think it obviously refers to Jesus, but many ages had a ‘chosen one’.
The number of righteousness (47.4), that is reached, may refer to the twelve times twelve thousand predicted to survive in the biblical Book of Revelations.
Sheol is mentioned at 51.1, it is the name for hell used in early times and it is also mentioned in the book of Genesis and book of Job, it means ‘the grave’ - but more than just a hole in the ground.
The mountains leap like rams at 51.4, this phrase also occurs in the bible (Psalms 114.4 & 6).
There is a rare mentioning of place names at 56.5 - Parthia and Medes - these were ancient kingdoms in the Iran\Iraq area.
This is the area where Enoch probably lived but it is difficult to know whether he originally used these names in his book, or whether later translators substituted in their own names for the areas that they thought were being referred to.

The Book of Enoch (Chapter 12) - 2/4
Notes
The First Parable. (Pages 56-62)
The first part of this parable is possibly a description of a holy place set in the future; Enoch seems to consider it a description of the Watchers home also, since at 39.8, he reveals that he is being allowed to live there, with them.
‘Those who do not sleep’ (see 39.12 and 71.7) are mentioned often. These are the seraphim, cherubim, and ophannim, the non-human angels, who do not need to sleep. Enoch never describes them, so it is difficult to know what he had in mind.
Most of this parable is a description of how four of the Watchers showed Enoch everything.

The Book of Enoch (Chapter 12) - 1/4
Notes
(12) THE BOOK OF PARABLES (pages 55-85)
This part of Enoch's book is introduced by a quote from the "Holy One,” at 37.3; this is the headman of the Watchers, and what he says is almost an apology.
Enoch's parables are actually three essays, which outline the future path of spiritual enlightenment, as explained to him by the Holy One.
The content of the second two parables is similar; the main theme is a Messiah, who will bring guidance at the correct time.
This eventually brings about an age of enlightenment, where the souls of the righteous can live in peace.

The Book of Enoch (Chapter 11)
Notes
(11) THE BOOK OF NOAH (pages 50-53)
Noah's book was probably written when he was the head of the family and like Methuselah he claims to speak with Enoch. He seems to have written this before the flood; and once again there are some interesting details.
The most important passage is at 67.2. This indicates that the boat is being constructed at the time of writing. Noah may have written this piece in order to persuade his sons to come and live with him, inside "the wooden structure.” Noah may not have seen a boat like this before, and perhaps was not sure what to call it.
There seems to be a background of unusual geological events. At the beginning, 65.1, Noah says the earth has tilted, later, at 67.11, he says the Hot Springs became cold.
This does fit with the theories of Charles Hapgood in his book ‘The Path of the Pole’ where he suggests that the huge ice melt (that probably caused the flood) occurred when the poles shifted – perhaps due to an impact from space.
The North Pole shifted from Hudson’s Bay to its present position. At 65.3 Noah says the earth is ‘afflicted and shaken’ and he does seem quite alarmed by it.
There is also talk of molten metal and a smell of sulphur, 67.6, but this may be pollution from the metalworking described at 65.7. Production of metals, and weapons, may have become quite large scale by Noah's time.

The Book of Enoch (Chapter 10)
Notes
(10) THE BOOK OF METHUSELAH (pages 46-48)
This short section has many interesting features. The story is set some years later. Methuselah is now head of the family (since Enoch went off to live with the Angels, (see 81.6), a year after he wrote the book).
Methuselah's son Lamech is now grown up, and his first son is born. At 106.2, we get a description of the child who will be named Noah.
It seems he had white or blonde hair, a red birthmark, and perhaps blue eyes. Even more surprising, at 106.5, we learn that this is what the Watchers look like.
If some of the wives of Enoch's family were descended from the runaways, then Lamech could easily have had an unexpectedly blonde-haired child.
Lamech is disturbed about his baby's unusual appearance, and goes to see Methuselah.
This section seems to have been written by Methuselah, to reassure his son about the birth, written as though a reply from Enoch himself.
Methuselah claims he went and spoke to Enoch, but I suspect that this is just a device, in order to give enough authority to the message, so that Lamech can be reassured.
The naming of Noah at 107.3 is interesting, since it links the name to the word comfort. Noah still sounds like the Hebrew word for comfort, and a similar story is told at Genesis 5:29.

The Book of Enoch (Chapter 9)
Notes
(9) THE FRAGRANT TREES (pages 39-44)
In this section, Enoch is taken on another tour. At the beginning, 24.1, there is perhaps a volcano.
Then the seven mountains again, 24.2-3, this time with more detail. From-24.3 to 25.6, there are the fragrant trees. These sound like cannabis to me. The description at 25.6 of "drawing the fragrance into the bones’’, is quite an apt description of smoking it. The part where it says, at 25.4, "no one will have authority to touch it,” could represent the present prohibition.
At 31.1 Enoch mentions galbanum, this is one of the ingredients of the incense that was to be burned on the Incense Altar in the Tent of Appointment, Exodus 30:34. Also, at 32.3-6, the Tree of Wisdom also sounds like cannabis. Here we get a new insight into the Adam and Eve story.
At 33.3-4, Enoch mentions how Uriel gave him notes on astronomy. These notes are in this book as sections 13, 14, and 16.
The angel Zotiel is mentioned at 32.2, east of the Red Sea, there are suggestions based on weathering data that The Sphinx is much older (pre 10,000 BC) than the pyramids, so this is a possible candidate for Zotiel.

(8) THE ANGELS WHO KEEP WATCH (pages 35-37)
Here we are introduced to some of the Watchers and then Enoch has a
conversation with them. At first, they discuss the punishment of the runaways then the afterlife in general.
The Watchers may have provided some type of visual display since Enoch describes what he sees. The description at 22.2 is strange but compelling.
The story of Cain and Abel is mentioned at 22.7 and in the next section, the story of Adam and Eve is mentioned, at 32.6. So, these stories must have existed, in some form, even in Enoch's time.

The Book of Enoch (Chapter 6)
(6) THE BOOK OF REPROOF (pages 26-29)
This is the reply to the runaways' letter. The judgment is outlined at 14.4-7.
They are to be bound on earth, (14.5), this could mean endless reincarnation; presumably they would know exactly what it meant. At 14.6, the deaths of their sons, is predicted again, and at 14.7, they are further criticized for the form of their petition.
The section at 14.8 is interesting; here Enoch goes into more detail about how he saw this vision. It sounds to me, as though Enoch was taken in a vehicle that could fly! (See also section 15 at 81.5, here three of the Watchers take Enoch home, and drop him off outside his front door).
From-14.9 - 15.1, Enoch describes his journey, and the place where he was taken. He was obviously very impressed and rather frightened. The "wall of hailstones" might be glass, and the "tongue of fire" could be artificial lighting.
At 15.1, the Most High speaks to Enoch, and he mocks the runaways for sending Enoch to carry their petition (15.2).
He goes on to explain the reasons for the harshness of the judgment. At 16.3, he criticizes them for leaving before they had completed their education. He says that what they knew was worthless, and that their lack of wisdom will lead to bad consequences.

Notes
(7) ENOCH STAYS FOR A WHILE WITH THE WATCHERS (pages 31-33)
This section describes Enoch's impressions on being shown around by the Watchers.
At 17.1, he says he was at a place where the Watchers were like burning fire, (I do not know what this means, although it does remind me of Moses and the burning bush), but he also says that they could look like men.
The description at 17.5 reminds me of volcanic larva flows, such as in Iceland where new land is being created.
The mountains mentioned at 18.6 are referred to again later in the book. I have often wondered if it would be possible to identify this place from these descriptions.
The best match I have found so far is the South Sandwich island group. The main island has now been submerged but the mountain tops now form the chain of islands. For more on this, read ‘Thoth Architect of the Universe’ by Ralph Ellis.
This part ends with more details of the punishment for the runaways.

The Book of Enoch (Chapter 4)
Notes
(4) THE MOST HIGH OF THE WATCHERS SPEAKS OUT. (Pages 19–21)
Enoch presents us with a condemnation of the runaways by the Most High of the
Watchers. This section shows how the runaways are regarded at home.
Some background details do emerge later in the book. At 106.13 (section 10), we learn that the runaways came to Enoch's area in his father's day. Enoch is a scribe, see 12.4, and he says that it was the angels who introduced writing. So, Enoch was
probably taught to write, and employed, by the runaway angels.
At 10.1-3, the Most High instructs an angel to save the son of Lamech (this will
be Noah) from the flood. This is interesting, because besides prophesying details of the flood, and its timing, it reveals that this was written at a time when Enoch is a grandfather, (of Lamech), but he does not yet know what Lamech's son will be called.
If the runaways were young in Enoch's father’s day, then they are probably at least 10 years older than Enoch and maybe more. So, it is likely that the events in this book happen at a time when the runaways are quite old. I have wondered if they (the angels) lived longer than we would think was normal but there isn’t enough detail to draw a conclusion.
The majority of this section consists of a prophecy of doom for the runaways: They will see their families destroyed by fighting amongst themselves during their lifetime. They will suffer in the afterlife and the societies they founded will be wiped away by a flood.
He says, at 10.22, that there will never again be another flood like the one to come.

Notes
(3) REBELS AMONG THE WATCHERS (pages 15-17)
This is the story of the fallen angels. The beginning, 6.1-2, is virtually identical
with Genesis 6.1-2. In Enoch's book, we get their names and many other details.
At 6.6, Enoch explains the naming of Mount Hermon - in Hebrew it means curses. The mountain that he was actually referring to is possibly somewhere near Lake Van in Turkey. It is common for translators to update names rather than use phonetics, so the few names that appear, mainly mountains and rivers, can’t be relied upon as accurate identifications. We don’t know whether there was another mountain called
‘curses’ or even what language the book was originally written in.
At 7.2, he says they had giant sons. I believe that this means, not that they were
physically big, but powerful and wealthy with private armies. Nevertheless, the Watchers may have been larger than the local people were. Many years of advanced healthcare and nutrition can lead to increasing average size.
They were probably quite young, these runaway angels, but they had weapons and knowledge (8.1) that meant they were able to dominate Enoch's people easily.
Since they could have children, by women, I think it is safe to assume that they are men, and not angels (or any other non-human entity), since breeding is species specific by definition. They were regarded as angels by Enoch and his people, (see what Lamech says at 106.5-6 in section 10), but Enoch also says they could appear like men when they wished, (see 17.1), but even so, he never seems to doubt their divinity.
At 8.4, the scene switches: to the angels in heaven - the Watchers at their home base. The activities of the runaways cause them to be noticed.
This section ends with some of the Watchers asking their Headman what should they do about the runaways. Alternatively, it could be seen as God being informed that no souls wish to incarnate on the Earth because conditions are becoming so bad.
