The Writing of Jude about the Book of Enoch

Jude verse 14 “And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints…” This quote by Jude, a brother of the Jesus of Nazareth, from The Book of Enoch, asserts three things: firstly, that the Book of Enoch is historically authentic as writings of Enoch seventh king of Sumer in sucession from Adam and seventh generation descendant; secondly, that The Book of Enoch is inspired prophetically by the Holy Spirit; and thirdly that the extensive writings in the Book of Enoch about The Son of Man with God in Heaven matches up to what Jude knew with faith about his biological brother who persistently identified Himself as The Son of Man from Heaven who was with God long before Abraham was born. “Before Abraham was, I am” is a saying of Jesus. Another is “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he”. Now, “This is the Son of Man who is born unto righteousness; And righteousness abides over him, And the righteousness of the Head of Days forsakes him not.” is what Enoch wrote of the Son of Man. Jude clearly recognised that this is (was, will be) his dear brother, the Son of Man made flesh.
