The Book of Enoch is a health warning about the world we live in: about the world’s technologies, cultures, sorceries and sciences, fashions, customs, superstitions, military ways and the behaviour of its people. It shows the unfortunate spiritual origins of these things and the downsides of our objects of desire. The outcome is that we should have our eyes more widely open as we live in this world and we should practice a strategy of daily avoidance of what it has to offer. It does not forbid anything. It does not legislate. It cautions. It enlightens. It explains. It leaves the decisions to us on how we will apply its lessons to our lives. Overall we should practice a strategy of knowledgable avoidance and live by the guidance and truth of the Holy Spirit of God.
