Im reading The Book of Jubiles.......?

Question

and it talks about heaven on earth, as did jesus, so why isnt in the juedo-Christian canon

Answer 1

The Book of Jubilee is not a part of the Bible and not a part of Christianity.

According to the Catholic site, New Advent, all the legendary details, it claims, were revealed by God to Moses through the angel of the presence (probably Michael) together with the Law, all of which was originally known to but few of the Old Testament patriarchs, such as Henoch, Methusala, Noe, Shem, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Levi.

It is somewhat difficult to determine the particular Judaistic school its author belonged to; he openly denies the resurrection of the body; he does not believe in the written tradition; he does not reprobate animal sacrifices, etc. . . . and the fact that he wrote in Hebrew excludes the hypothesis of his Hellenistic tendencies.

Equally untenable is the hypothesis advanced by Beer, that he was a Samaritan, for he excludes Mount Garizim, the sacred mount of the Samaritans from the list of the four places of God upon earth, viz. the Garden of Eden, the Mount of the East, Mount Sinai, and Mount Sion.

If the author belonged to any particular school he must have been in all probability a Pharisee (Hasidaean) of the most rigid type of the time of John Hyrcanus, in whose reign scholars generally agree the book was written (135-105 B.C.).

Dr. Headlam suggests that the author was a fervent opponent of the Christian Faith (see Hastings, "Dictionary of the Bible"). But if the author, as it is suggested in this rather improbable hypothesis, lived in early Christian times, he must have written his book before the fall of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Temple, since the latter is assumed throughout to be still in existence as the great center of Jewish worship.

Answer 2

heaven on earth does not imply existence of social , ethnic, national etc, differences. So in another words Christians, Jews, Americans, Israelis, Arabs, terrorists, pacifists, communists, capitalists, socialists, and many many more is not a Heaven on Earth. Total absence mentioned above creates that Heaven, filled by no one, but people. Enjoy
