The Book of Enoch is an ancient Jewish text that is divided into five main sections, or books, each with its own focus and content.

Why was it removed???🤔

Book One: The Book of Watchers

This section focuses on Enoch's visions of the angels and their role in the universe. Enoch sees four archangels, Michael, Raphael, Gabriel, and Uriel, who are responsible for the four cardinal points of the earth. The book also includes a warning about the "Watchers," a group of angels who are said to have watched over humankind but ultimately turned against God.

Book Two: The Book of Parables

Enoch's second vision focuses on the heavenly realm and its inhabitants. Enoch sees the "Great Glory," who is God, and describes the cherubim, seraphim, and other celestial beings who serve him. Enoch also sees the "Book of Life," which records the fate of all humankind. This book also includes several parables about the end of the world and the coming of the Messiah.

Book Three: The Book of Astronomy

Enoch's third vision is focused on astronomy and the heavenly bodies. Enoch learns about the movements of the sun, moon, and stars and their significance in both natural and supernatural events.

Book Four: The Book of Dreams

In this section, Enoch shares advice and guidance to his children and grandchildren, warning them of the dangers of sin and encouraging them to follow God's commandments. This book includes many dream visions about the final judgment and the coming of the Messiah.

Book Five: The Book of Apocalypse

The final section of the Book of Enoch deals with the end of the world and the coming of the Messiah. This book includes descriptions of the judgment, the New Jerusalem, and the various events that will take place before the Messiah's return.

Overall, the Book of Enoch provides a unique perspective on Jewish theology and thought from the Second Temple period. It has influenced later Jewish and Christian texts and continues to be studied and debated today.
