The Book of Enoch

 It can be established that Jude believed the Book of Enoch is holy scripture (having the words of a true prophet preserved for the righteous in written form) and is by the historically real prophet Enoch, seventh from Adam. Then there is a next step of showing that Jude was a disciple of Jesus in this. He was therefore prioritising above all the importance of keeping his teachings aligned with those of Jesus Christ, which he knew very well having spent his whole life with Jesus as biological brother, then later as believing disciple. The fact he was in step with the beliefs of Jesus about the Book of Enoch is verified by gospels John and Luke (note 1), and possibly Matthew, which each show that Jesus too regarded the book as scripture and holy enough to base teachings on. This leads to another next step which is that what Jesus believes and teaches is followed up by the Holy Spirit in gifts and insights given to the churches and believers (note 2). The Holy Spirit brings things that are of Jesus, given by God. What the Holy Spirit brings is what Jesus received from God and believes. And God, the Father, is light without darkness, who sent Jesus, the Christ of God, to be the light of the world. So this is light which attests to the Book of Enoch. 


  1. Luke has Jesus telling Sadducees they did not know scripture, and the scripture, he implied, tells that angels do not marry. Only the Book of Enoch tells this. Hence it implies Jesus meant 1 Enoch is scripture. John has Jesus telling a woman at the well that from his disciples the Holy Spirit would flow as rivers of living water, implying scripture said this. It is the Book of Enoch which tells of the fountain producing fountains in his disciples.
  2. Revelation claims to be a book of revelations given by God to Jesus and it contains very many parallels to the Book of Enoch.
