Jesus Christ has good knowledge of ancient scriptures. The Book of Enoch turns up in scripture scrolls of the stashes we call Dead Sea Scrolls very frequently, one of the most frequently found sources as Dead Sea Scrolls were being discovered during the last century. A significant proportion of these scrolls date from the time of the first century BC so were likely in circulation also in Jesus’ time. Jesus referred to scriptures about angels not marrying and of all known scriptures of that time, only the Book of Enoch records this detail about angels. Jude, brother of Jesus, wrote about and quoted the book too (Epistle of Jude). Jesus clearly keeps good knowledge of the Book of Enoch and promotes it to believers. It appears to be top of the main list of scriptures endorsed by Jesus Christ. The contents of the Book of Enoch permeate Lord Jesus’ teachings, it is clearly close to Jesus’ heart, and this permeates some of what the Holy Spirit still teaches today in Jesus’ name. “We do well to pay attention to it as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in our hearts.”
