Yeah the books of Enoch isn't real. A.k.a no witnesses to witness the outcome. God not going to called and turn a formal human to a super celestrial and name him the lesser Yahweh (Yehowen ). The Mightiest Celestial being is The Archangel Michael. The books of Enoch doesn't help humans nor provide that Enochs books are canons .

Enoch seems to put a lot of importance on the trappings of power. When you try to discern what is true, it stands out to me that Jesus never sought power. He wore a crown, of thorns. He set the example for refusing bribes when he resisted the temptation in the desert. There are certain stories of Jesus, Buddah, Daniel, etc that transcend religion and point to universal truth. I believe if we try and listen we can hear the truth no matter what our religious beliefs are

I'm very impressed by Enoch's transformation not as religious text, but as a piece of ancient cosmic body horror. Commonly literature history doesn't talk about body horror before the modern era (e.g. Frankenstein or The Metamorphosis), but it's very easy to see what God did to Enoch to create Metatron in those terms.

I propose the hypothesis that the Books of Enoch were the first DLCs/expansion packs in history. The devs knew one sentence about Enoch randomly thrown in would arouse the interest and imagination of the readers who'd demand more. And so they received, one expansion pack about Enoch in three DLCs. A new quest/campaign with lots of new and expanded lore, new characters and costumes/skins and also included a flashy Angel Armor which initially the publishers wanted to be a separate DLC that cost quite a pretty shekel, but changed their mind later on. The expansion received overwhelmingly positive reception from fans and critics alike. The reason why they became forgotten was because the original title got ported to other more popular systems under a new publisher who saw no value in porting the DLCs as well, instead opting to create new ones from scratch. The Books of Enoch regained popularity when the modding scene found the source code for the DLCs and polished and remastered them releasing them on torrents under the name Genesis Expanded HD-MOD Unofficial Patch.

We are having the player start by meeting him as Enoch and then later in the game seeing him as Metatron. Thanks for the wonderfully informational videos!

Angels seem very much like gods in their own right, albeit under the jurisdiction of the head of the pantheon YHVH. The Hebrew "Bene elohim" is cognate with the Ugaritic word "bn 'il" which means "sons of gods." The same meaning can be applied to the Sanskrit "Devaputra" which refers to heavenly deities in Indic traditions. Hekhalot literature is also reminiscent of a Buddhist story in which a king named Nimi is given a tour of heaven and hell by the god Shakra's charioteer Matali. There are other similar ascension stories like those found in the Divine Comedy and the Zoroastrian Book of Arda Viraf.

One of the historic ways groups could approach pushing their religion on neighbouring or conquered groups was to "demote" the indigenous Gods and make them subordinate to their imposed God. Rather than trying to erase the names of the local gods from memory, which wouldn't work, they could be co-opted into the newly dominant hierarchy as lesser gods, demigods, or in the case of an imposed monotheistic religion as "semi-divine beings in service of God" e.g., Angels. It's very possible some, or all, of the biblical angels were originally worshipped as gods by some absorbed group in the distant past.

@@gabrielpmo I would agree it doesn't rely on it, but he does reference pop culture a LOT. He often ties in his religious studies topic of the day with topical stuff that references it.

I have a couple questions: 1.) What translation are you using for 3 Enoch? I'm interested in reading it for myself. 2.) If the Enochic traditions are considered to be a "spin-off" of Enoch's brief appearance in Genesis, are there any scholarly theories regarding the origins and purpose behind Enoch's first appearance?
@sjappiyah4071

Great video ! The section on the “2 powers in heaven “ was very fascinating. The traditional mainstream Christian position on this is that the “Son of man” identified as the 2nd power is of course Jesus ( John 9:35-37 Jesus identifying himself as the Son of Man) As you mentioned the “Son of Man” is also associated with an Angel . The traditional standard Christian belief is that this angel is not merely ontologically an Angel but rather a deity being ( being one with God) . This figure is called “The Angel of the LORD (YWHW) “ in the Old Testament . (Example Judges 13:21-22 where the Angel of the LORD is called “God”) Christians of course believe this Angel of the LORD , and the Son of Man are different titles for the same person Jesus . The New Testament in Jude even subtly makes this connection. In Jude 1:5 It says Jesus rescued his people out of Egypt . (some translations say “Lord” but in this context Lord is Jesus indicated by Jude 1:4 ) In Exodus 14:19 it says “the Angel of God” who was travelling ahead of Israel’s army withdrew from them. To summarize, “ the Angel of YWHW” which is “The second power of heaven” and is associated as being God (Judges 12:21-22) is understood by us Christians to be Jesus. Which is why in Christianity we believe there are multiple persons that comprise the 1 nature/being/essence of God aka the Trinity. We believe the 3 persons associated who share “one name” are the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit ( exemplified as Matthew 28:19) That’s just our opinion of course. Good video

Not only the Metatron stuff being bitheistic, I think the idea that God consults with the angels before acting and that there in an angel each for controlling universal forces is downright polytheistic. No wonder the chariot people were considered heretics.

0:17: ! The video discusses the character of Enoch in religious literature and his role as a central character in ancient texts. 3:23: 📚 The video discusses the literary and historical context of the third Enoch, a rabbinic Jewish mysticism text, and its four sections. 6:51: 📚 The video discusses the angelology and celestial hierarchy described in the book of Third Enoch, including the roles of specific archangels and the control of natural phenomena by angels. 10:31: 🔥 Enoch undergoes a dramatic transformation, becoming a fiery angel named Metatron and is put in charge of the Angelic host. 14:19: 📚 Theistic ideas in second temple Jewish literature, such as the concept of a son of man with god-like power, are explored in this video.

I suspect that the cult of Metatron may have been a very specific, if perhaps unconscious, means of countering the threat of the Jesus movement, which, after all, in the early days, would have seemed like a variant of Judaism. “We have an authentic god-hero, already mentioned in our scriptures, not that nobody from Nazareth!”

@andrewsuryali8540 9 ай бұрын
Yes, they did. 3rd Enoch was written in the 5th century. The writers were already aware of the Julian calendar. If you want to dig deeper, the Enochian Cycle literature during the Jewish Second Temple period was tied to the so-called "Essene Priestly Calendar" (because it was used at Qumran) which has 364 days in opposition to the lunisolar Hebrew Calendar's 353-355 days (plus 30-day leap month).

"365 thousand" is an interesting number of eyes 🤔 knowing that ancient Hebrews often used "a thousand" to imply an indefinite but quite long period of time rather than _specifically_ "1,000", and knowing there's 365(.24...) days in a year, I wonder if the implication is that he had "an eye on every day through all the years", or something to that effect? Though I've no idea if _they_ knew about the ~365 day year at the time 🤔
