Why the Book of Enoch?

Why do I quote so often from The Book of Enoch as scripture? It has had centuries of wicked suppression by the churches which needs redressing since it is the work of the Holy Spirit. I also love to quote from The Gospel of John and The Book of Revelation; Revelation has been suppressed like Enoch too. So few believers know Enoch's writings exist so I want to give people a joyful surprise of scriptural water of life, unadulterated by liberal theologians and higher criticism unlike the other scriptures. Most of all there is a sacred history in my life that led to me finding and recognising it that has made it one of the three most sacred and blessed scriptures to me personally (via an interpretation of xenoglossia that was certainly the Holy Spirit) so my being led by the Holy Spirit Himself to it makes it a gift from God and makes me remember God did this Himself through His Spirit in my life. Now, note how John 9:35-39 tells of a man Jesus of Nazareth healed from blindness who was thrown out of the synagogue for confessing Jesus is the Christ: 'Jesus heard that they had put him out, and finding him, He said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?” He answered, “Who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?” Jesus said to him, “You have both seen Him, and He is the one who is talking with you.” And he said, “Lord, I believe.” And he worshiped Him. And Jesus said, “For judgment I came into this world, so that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may become blind.”'  Notice that last saying Jesus proclaimed and how it ties back to the prophecy from Enoch of what the Son of Man would do: [1 Enoch.46.1-4] And there I saw the One to Whom belongs the time before time, and His head was white like wool. With Him was another being, whose countenance had the appearance of a man, and his face was full of graciousness, like one of the holy angels. I asked the angel who went with me [...] concerning that son of man and who he was, and whence he was, and why he went with the One to Whom belongs the time before time. He answered and said to me: 'This is the son of man who has righteousness, with whom dwells righteousness, and who reveals all the treasures of that which is hidden, because the Lord of the spirits has chosen him, and whose lot has the pre-eminence before the Lord of the spirits in uprightness for ever. This son of man whom you have seen shall raise up the kings and the mighty from their seats and the strong from their thrones, and shall loosen the reins of the strong and break the teeth of the sinners.' We need Enoch to properly improve our understanding of Jesus' sayings like this. It enlarges our knowledge and understanding of Jesus and His sayings which is what is needed to make us "good soil" that hears and understands and produces a hundredfold crop.   When we read the book of Enoch we find authoritative answers to many questions we might have about curious matters unexplained in 'Bible' (the 66 book canon) scriptures. I was always as a child reading the 'Bible' wondering what the Nephilim were, what demons are, why God is called the Ancient of Days (or Head of Days), who Jesus meant by Son of Man and why He used that phrase. Nobody in churches seemed to know. Even the Internet remains disappointingly unable to give authoritative answers. The book of Enoch has such answers and had them all along but it was hidden from us. Oh that churches would read from it. I'm glad in one sense they don't because so many pastors and preachers and theologians would muddy this precious water of life. So here we see that God the Father is called the Head of Days or Ancient of Days or One to Whom belongs the time before time: a head of days is a white haired person who was in their prime before you were born so you should honour them - a hoary head - a person with white hair from old age - and God existed when time did not yet exist and in this time before time He was with His Son - the Son of Man. Yet it is God the Father who is Head of Days being owner of that time before time - while The Son of God is Son of Man from the time before time whose name is that in which God made the universe obey right from the start.
