It is not considered part of the Bible but the Books of the Old Testament are not the only source from which the Christian theologian may learn the Messianic ideas of pre-Christian Jewry. The Sibylline oracles, the Book of Enoch, the Book of Jubilees, the Psalms of Solomon, the Ascensio Moysis, the Revelation of Baruch, the Fourth Book of Esdras, and several Talmudic and Rabbinic writings are rich depositories of pre-Christian views concerning the expected Messiah.
Epistle of Jude (1:14-15) cites a passage from the Book of Enoch (and not found anywhere in the Bible before hand !!) which has much perplexed interpreters. The question is whether Jude took this passage from any book written by Enoch, which might be extant in his time, or whether he received it by tradition or by revelation. It is most probable that he read it in a book attributed to Enoch, which though pseudepigraphal, might contain several truths; among others, this might be one which Jude favored with a supernatural degree of discrimination and might use for the purpose of instruction.

The Book of Enoch is in the Jewish Torah and the Christian bible people.
have only tried to read it and follow it. A companion Book is the Revelation to John.
As far as I have understood it . It means that there are many levels of heaven for different purposes.

The first part is the source of many bad fallen angel movies. The middle is some kind of ripoff of Eastern religions with bulls, sheep, wolves, pigs and eagles crossbreeding and getting uppity. The last part is just cursing anyone who dosn't read and believe this steaming pile of pig droppings.
You couldn't pay me enough to look at it again with a straight face.

Dear Ken C,
There is a reason why the book of Enoch did not make the Canon of Scripture. i think it is a book that has some historical value esp. as it verifies and jives with history found in the Bible. But it isn't to be valued as Scripture.
Hope that helps. Kindly,
Nickster

What is the book of Enoch? I've heard of it before: Enochian Key?
