The One True God

The concept of one true God comes down through history from Adam till world religions today, not only the Abrahamic religion. The ancients of Noah’s time had a concept of a most high God who was over all gods and was at the very top where there was room for one only. The word AN or DINGIR used an asterisk symbol and had associations with the sky - hence the star symbol - and what is at the top of the metaphorical tree - its apex - the zenith. The Christ person is like one of two - Son together with Father - while the Father Himself is the one of one. You can say today “the one true ...” or “the one and only ...” in situations where there can be only one who qualifies for a topmost title or position. This is that ancient concept all through history applied to beings. Most heirarchical systems have one or two at the top and  just one at the very top. Heaven is like this. Paul described it as One God and One Lord. Ultimately God is greater than Lord.

Parable of the Traffic Lights

A PARABLE

Imagine a small village in the middle of nowhere; well not really a village, just a few houses and farms and a shop and diner with a crossroad - roads running north-south and east-west - and a tiny school house. There have been no cars seen in the village for as long as anyone can remember. Yet there is a working set of traffic lights that the head of the village keeps working. Children growing up there have only stories about cars to help them understand what the traffic lights are for. Mothers play with the children and get them to act out being a car and stopping at the lights then going off down the road a bit when they are green. The children imagine what cars are like. Some doubt cars really exist. Growing up some doubt there will ever be a car going through the village. Others doubt cars even exist but believe they once existed in their grandparents’ childhood days. One night a car drives through the village and a teenage boy out late sees it. Nobody believes him because the description does not match the imagination and traditional view about cars that has developed as the children grew up. There is such a negative feeling towards the lad that the older people make a rule that nobody is to say they have seen a car unless it is a car like their tradition. Some want to ban seeing cars altogether and start to build houses almost across the road and lobby for the traffic lights to be turned off. When the lights eventually get turned off after the head of the village retires they start to hold annual carnivals where cars and traffic lights are acted out by the children. Then a group of children see a car drive straight through the village. They can’t all be lying so the lights are turned back on but still some doubt cars exist. What helps others believe is that there is an old newspaper found with photographs of cars which match exactly the childrens’ description and the owner of the newspaper was not previously allowed to show it to the children in case it frightened them. When the children who saw the car grow older they are allowed to see the photos. Suddenly they are encouraged to be confident enough to tell others and they do so fervently. The houses crossing the road are modified to allow cars to go through a big gateway in them and the road is restored and eventually cars become a common sight and the village grows to become a small town.

THE MEANING

The Book of Enoch proves to me that there can be new revelation. I had grown up among those who warned against anything new and I still hear warnings today from those who think anything not in their particular chosen set of scriptures must be erroneous. I experienced completely new revelation in my life journey following the Son of Man which definitely came from the Holy Spirit so I knew the warnings were themselves erroneous but only when I found support for these revelations in tue Book of Enoch did it prove this to me. God is waiting for people to ask and He will give new revelations of things we could not imagine.

The Date of Noah’s Flood and the Book of Enoch

The Book of Enoch has a prophetic foretold timeline based on records seen in heaven of the whole course of world history from beginning of mankind to the judging of mankind - a seven thousand year period. It splits this period into ten seven hundred year parts called ‘weeks’ (or sevens). The position of the Flood in this scheme is sometime in the second week - possibly putting it towards the end of that week but the language meaning is uncertain. This puts it between 3200 and 2500 BC, likely in the second half of that period so between 2900 and 2500 BC. The archaeology is well defined for the dating of the Flood because 

1. The Sumerian King Lists clearly say the Flood ended the dynasty ruling the world whose last capital city was Shuruppak so at least Shuruppak itself was affected (destroyed) by it

2. Shuruppak is a well understood archaeological site called Tell Fara

3. Tell Fara shows a clear mud layer of flood deposits covering the Jemdat Nasr Period layer which has pottery linking it to the Jemdat Nasr Period

4. Radiocarbon dating has been applied to the pre-Flood layer of Tell Fara and the latest dating is 2900 BC

If the latest radiocarbon dates for the pre-Flood layer of Tell Fara coincides with the Flood it gives a radiocarbon date of the Flood of 2900 BC. It might be that limited artefacts for dating means that later objects from before the Flood have been missed so the Flood could be a little later. Yet this 2900 BC date does fit within the written time period of the Book of Enoch. It means the time from the Flood till the next major prophesied event after the Flood mentioned by Enoch, the establishmemt of Abraham to begin a righteous race (the ‘plant of righteousness’), this period, a kind of Dark Ages, was almost a thousand years long. 

The credibility of the prophetic timeline in the Book of Enoch (found around chapter 93) by its good fit with archaeology puts credibility on the date it gives for the creation of Adam - the starting point of the ten weeks - as around 3900 BC. This in turn sheds light on the future end of the ten weeks as being around 3100 AD. So it has importance to how we view the future as well as how we view the past. It also helps in understanding our present time.

This also puts the ascension of Enoch into heaven at around 3000 BC since he writes that he was born in the first week which means his birth was around 3300 to 3400 BC. So much of the period of the Book of Enoch authoring is put between 3200 and 3000 BC. Noah added sections before the Flood so around 3000 BC.

Brexit

In warning about complicity and taking part in Rome’s excesses - Babylon the Great - Jesus in Revelation quoted from God speaking a similar warning about the original Babylon (Jeremiah 51) which shows that the reason for it all is the vengeance to be shown against what remains of the Roman Empire and especially Rome itself because of all those past crucifixions of Christians and persecutions along such lines and self-obsessed oppulence and wrongly acruee wealth. We need to part company and remove ourselves from involvement so as not to share in its ongoing sins and the ensuing plagues which result from them. This means political AND commercial exit.

6“Flee from Babylon!

Run for your lives!

Do not be destroyed because of her sins.

It is time for the Lord’s vengeance;

he will repay her what she deserves.

7Babylon was a gold cup in the Lord’s hand;

she made the whole earth drunk.

The nations drank her wine;

therefore they have now gone mad.

8Babylon will suddenly fall and be broken.

Wail over her!

Get balm for her pain;

perhaps she can be healed.

...

11“Sharpen the arrows,

take up the shields!

The Lord has stirred up the kings of the Medes,

because his purpose is to destroy Babylon.

The Lord will take vengeance,

vengeance for his temple.

12Lift up a banner against the walls of Babylon!

Reinforce the guard,

station the watchmen,

prepare an ambush!

The Lord will carry out his purpose,

his decree against the people of Babylon.

13You who live by many waters

and are rich in treasures,

your end has come,

the time for you to be destroyed.

14The Lord Almighty has sworn by himself:

I will surely fill you with troops, as with a swarm of locusts,

and they will shout in triumph over you.

15“He made the earth by his power;

he founded the world by his wisdom

and stretched out the heavens by his understanding.

16When he thunders, the waters in the heavens roar;

he makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth.

He sends lightning with the rain

and brings out the wind from his storehouses.

The Cross Symbol

Crosses have long been used by shamans and witches, medics and pharmacists to advertise that they can offer sacrifices and drugs but also intercede and pray on your behalf with spirits and deities and even the Most High. The cross symbol was used like this possibly even from most ancient times. Today the Red Cross still use it as their symbol as do other medics and pharmacists. The spiritual side gets played down since times of witch hunts and even the ability to hear confession and pray for the sick is not advertised but traditional medicine includes such services too. Two thousand years ago God Himself used the cross symbol when offering the sacrifice of His beloved Son for us and makes this symbol a sign that this Son, whom He raised from the dead, is the official mediator appointed by God to intercede for us not only in times we are sick or threatened with sickness but whenever we need God’s forgiveness and need to make a clean break from our sin and make confession of it and renounce it. This mediator called the Messiah appointed and anointed by God for this purpose can make a believing adherent to His teachings righteous even such that God would own such a person as His own child forever and appoint them for the resurrection from the dead at His Son’s return. 𒈦

So when you pray your most needed prayer to God, pray it because of the cross the Messiah died on and the blood He shed on it and believe God will do it for that reason alone.

Sola Scriptura?

Surely it is blatant hypocrisy of some religious groups and individuals to insist only scripture should be read and believed and taught as truth if their scriptures themselves do not teach that.

Utu-Abzu

UTU-ABZU

By the time the Ancient Greeks found the Sumerian records about Enoch the account and name of Enoch recorded in Sumerian by Babylonians had changed somewhat. The number seven was still important and the person likely to be Enoch was still “seventh from Adam” or at least seventh from the person likely to be Adam. Enoch was still known to have ascended to heaven and like the other six in the succession was recognised as a very important sage in the times before the Flood - the last of the seven sages before the Flood - the seven sages the Babylonians called the Apkallu in Akkadian (Abgal in Sumerian)  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apkallu . By the time these sages were called Apkallu the one who ascended, the seventh, was known as Utu-Abzu. Note that UTU was the name by which God was known in times of Noah, and the city of Enoch, Sippar, was dedicated to UTU. Abzu was the word for the waters under the earth.

The Power in a Name

What is in a name? When you think of a big famous brand name or a name associated with a famous brand, there is a mystique in a big famous name and I imagine there is a certain power. If you had a father whose name was a big global brand you might stand to inherit that name but still if you have the character and inspiration you might use that status to create a name of your own and your father might help. This could lead to you experiencing for yourself just how much power there can be in a name. Yet when it comes to the name of the Son of Man who is son to the One Most High God we are talking power on a whole new level. I cannot even imagine that level. It takes the Holy Spirit to inspire it within us. The name and fame this Son of Man has takes power to the extreme since it drives the very forces of Nature and of Life on Earth. The name by which we can be saved if we believe.

Book of Enoch 48:1-4 

“1. And in that place I saw the fountain of righteousness

Which was inexhaustible:

And around it were many fountains of wisdom;

And all the thirsty drank of them,

And were filled with wisdom,

And their dwellings were with the righteous and holy and elect.

2. And at that hour that Son of Man was named In the presence of the Lord of Spirits,

And his name before the Head of Days.

3. Yea, before the sun and the signs were created,

Before the stars of the heaven were made,

His name was named before the Lord of Spirits.

4. He shall be a staff to the righteous whereon to stay themselves and not fall,

And he shall be the light of the Gentiles,

And the hope of those who are troubled of heart.”

One True Church?

The Book of Enoch is remarkably quiet about the concept of ‘church’ but is deafeningly silent about the concept of ‘one true church’ proclaimed loudly by churches of many kinds today. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_true_church This silence rather draws into question any claims of any church to be a ‘one true church’ doesn’t it? Enoch foretold the Jews as a race and nation and eventually a religious path in the prophecies of chapters 83 to 93 but is there any explicit mention of the churches or of any one particular church or Islamic or other religious group or organisation? If there is even a glimmer then it is a very small one.

The Present Times

The Book of Enoch has a surprising prophecy about Diaspora Jews in the Middle Ages. Chapter 93 goes through some of the ten ‘week’ periods of history as God had written in heaven, as Enoch was allowed to see it before it happened. In ‘week’ seven there is apostasy then: “and at its end the chosen righteous from the Eternal Plant of Righteousness, will be chosen to be given sevenfold teaching, concerning his whole creation”. It seems the ‘weeks’ started in 3900 BC and each week is seven hundred years, making week seven 300 to 1000 AD. The prophecies of Enoch centre on the Jews so, if this analysis is correct it would mean Jewish apostasy from 300 to 1000 AD but also a surge in learning encompassing all of creation and an electoral system of promoting promising students to receive special insight in what is learned. We do see this in the Jewish establishment in Babylon of the Geonic Academies led by the chosen Gaon. So 300 to 1000 AD is evidently ‘week’ seven of Enoch’s ten ‘week’ prophecy, therefore 1000 to 3100 AD must be weeks eight, nine and ten. So the final judgement prophesied for the last part of week ten will happen in the 31st century. So we are in the century in which will begin a Millennium judgment reign of the Messiah before that final judgement of every soul.

Week Seven

Book of Enoch 93:10 possibly has a surprising fulfilment in the Babylonian Diaspora of the Jews in the Middle Ages. A reminder of this verse: the passage is going through successive seven-part ‘week’ periods of history as God had written in heaven that Enoch was allowed to see before it happened and the passage has reached ‘week’ seven having mentioned apostasy during week seven: “and at its end [week seven] the Chosen Righteous from the Eternal Plant of Righteousness, will be chosen to be given sevenfold teaching, concerning his whole creation”. I calculate the weeks started in 3900 BC and each week is seven hundred years. So this seventh week starts 300 AD and goes on till 1000 AD. Given that the previous account of Enoch’s dream of history centres on the Jews, I had a look in Wikipedia at Jewish history from 300 to 1000 AD and the article has a section for this period calling it the Middle Ages which tells of Jews scattered and 1/6th settled in Babylonia and reads “The Jews established Talmudic Academies in Babylonia, also known as the Geonic Academies ("Geonim" meaning "splendour" in Biblical Hebrew or "geniuses"), which became the center for Jewish scholarship and the development of Jewish law in Babylonia from roughly 500 CE to 1038 CE. The two most famous academies were the Pumbedita Academy and the Sura Academy. Major yeshivot were also located at Nehardea and Mahuza. The Talmudic Yeshiva Academies became a main part of Jewish culture and education, and Jews continued on establishing Yeshiva Academies in Western and Eastern Europe, North Africa, and in the centuries later on to America and other countries around the world where Jews lived in the Diaspora.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_history - Such a clear fulfilment of what Enoch told us would happen. Surely it confirms too that the weeks do indeed start in around 3900 BC and last seven hundred years each.

Elijah’s Horn

Firstly I confess I am not a left wing leaning person and not even deeply knowledgable about Marxism. Yet reading the prophetic dream God gave Enoch of the seventy shepherds whose reigns over Israel and the Jewish people leads up to the reign of the Son of Man and God’s rule over the sheep it starts to make sense that a coming of an Elijah to prepare the way for the coming of the Messiah is prophesied in it and will be on the same lines as the coming of Elijah then before Jesus, of John the Baptist. John was an Elijah figure, Jesus proclaimed, who was done away with but who preached social equality by those with two coats giving to those with none; thus, as foretold, John was asking for the social mountains of society to make themselves lower in order to lift up the socially depressed poor. The dream of Enoch about the history of the Jews - the white sheep who descend from the twelve sheep we can deduce to be children of Jacob, Israel - this dream tells of Elijah without naming him and tells of his being persecuted by the sheep because he is a prophet but he evades them and is taken up to be with Enoch in heaven. This is a reminder to us today of how John the Baptist preached to prepare socially level ground for the Messiah so He would not strike the land with a curse and it reminds that God might do the same before Jesus (Yeshua) returns. Only God could give such a dream to Enoch because only God could foretell truthfully the words He Himself would be saying in the fiuture. The dream brings us up to recent past events through a period of God speaking to seventy ‘shepherds’ (clearly angels) putting them in charge over the sheep, descendants of Israel. So the fact the dream tells the things God will say in distant future after Enoch ascended shows this dream strictly sees things from the Father’s own point of view and shows them to Enoch to tell us. So the shepherds continue successive reigns up until the last twelve who precede the days of judgment by the Son of Man. The start of the seventy is dedicible as in Assyrian Empire control of the Israeli lands 2760 years ago. So the coming of Christ forty years from now would fit with the shepherds each ruling a forty year term. This makes sense. Saul and David and Solomon each ruled forty years showing it to be a divinely preferred complete term. So the last twelve shepherds in the Book of Enoch must have started ruling over the Jews around 1540 AD. So the description of their time must include today and the last century. The end of their time includes Elijah-like and John the Baptist-like events as a ram (or he-goat which in Ge-ez/Amharic is a dabela) gets horns after some sheep start getting horns and these start to take on power even over their oppressors such that they can withstand the oppressing nations around them. The main horn gets unsuccessfully opposed by all and remains at the coming of the Son of Man to make judgment. Both Marx and later Trotsky were prominent teachers who were Jewish by birth. Marx’s family converted to Christianity so he was raised with both influences. Their powerful horn of Communism took over many gentile nations and forged some into regimes and Empires such as Soviet Union and China and North Korea as well as many African countries and South and Central American countries. China is still communist today. The social message of Communism has strong parallels with the raising of valleys and levelling of mountains socially by establishing equality. So it seems very plausible to me that this horn of the ram/he-goat during the last shepherds’ terms before Christ comes to judge fits well with the prophetic dream of beasts given to Enoch over five thousand years ago. It is for our blessing to know what is happening the way God personally sees it.

The Oath

THE OATH

One of the main reasons I love the Book of Enoch is that it tells us of the Oath that God enacted and encharged to the chief angels to keep the most important principles of Earth in place that make it habitable: its water supplies, its sea levels, durations of days and night year after year. These are essential for our ongoing existence and happiness. Love and wisdom guide these things in the heart of God. It is understandable that first and foremost the habitability of Earth and its sustaining of life would lead to certain fundamentals being established by God right from the start and set in stone as principles so there was stability on which other creations could be designed and made. So He sealed these fundamentals among the angels with a very important Oath. We take these things for granted: water being available, day following night, sea not crossing into the land beyond a certain point. I have seen buildings built right next to the high tide mark of the sea, such is Nature trusted to keep to the order it obeys. Yet without such an Oath there could be no such trust. And the Oath has always needed protecting. It does not go unopposed. Angels guard it from Satanic attacks. Think how Governments have to constantly defend their policies. Well this Oath is a policy that needs defending from opposition too, especially since the fall of the two hundred angels around 3300 BC. And it might be a further more massive fall prophesied by the Son of Man in Revelation will mean a great onslaught on the Oath when the Dragon leads a third of Heaven’s angels into rebellion. The power behind the Oath is strengthened - the Book of Enoch and the Holy Spirit seem to say - by the name of the Son of Man - His fame and authority invoked in His name and the ethic of His teachings and the faithfulness of His truthful testimony. The symbol of that name seems to be the cross. On this all life on Earth depends.

The Name of the Son of Man

It seems reasonable that the Sumerian word or syllable ‘Mesh’ is the long lost (but not lost) name of the Son of Man. It meant ‘one of two’ around 3100 BC (Uruk III period) and compares to the word for God - An - around that time because God was written as two crosses in a star asterisk symbol of four lines intersecting at a pont while Mesh was written as one cross symbol simply two lines intersecting at a point. God is one while Mesh is one of two and became a sacrifice for sins to pay human debt and therefore Mesh is the mediator with God and I think was known like that from 3100 BC and ever since, hence the use of crosses to invoke the name of this Mesh the Son of Man in medicine and priestliness and what we would call shamanism through the ages. It seems reasonable that eventually the word would become Mesh-iah, Messiah. The meaning most associated with the name Mesh in some cultures such as Hebrew became Anointed One I propose and so the Greek word used for Anointed One, Christos, became the preferred translation into Greek. So we have it in English today as Christ. So I think this might be how the Son of Man Doctrine of the Book of Enoch might have been preserved since Enoch wrote about Him in 3000 BC and came down to us today: The cross symbol and its associated syllable Mesh.

Nature’s Parables

Look at Nature truthfully. It has many lessons to tell us. God has such control over Nature which He made that if we honestly consider natural things we can learn lessons from heaven from them. The main lessons we learn looking at or pondering Nature are the way and truth and life in the teachings of the Son of Man. Why? Because it is by these teachings that Nature functions - taking its lead from the authority of those teachings. Enoch and the Son of Man both used the natural world of plants and animals and birds and trees to teach the heavenly ways. This is what the Holy Spirit does still today. Nothing has changed. We just need to look at natural things and ponder them the way He wants us to - honestly and without giving our trust to our desires and lusts. Then we can learn truthful lessons from Nature that He wants us to know and live by. Most of all we can see the loving, fatherly ways of God and live in that truth by worrying less and resting assured in that love in our day to day lives. So too we can see the constancy of natural creations in keeping going without fail as trees lose leaves and grow them back year after year after year.

Science and Religion

SCIENCE AND RELIGION

To a great extent the Book of Enoch answers the dilemma of the struggle between Science and Religion. It shows how Science actually below the surface IS a religion: Science is largely built on Hermeticism which is built largely on Shamanism which is the religion resulting largely from teachings of fallen angels five thousand years ago. So these two giants Science and Religion that have fought for centuries have actually been fighting for millennia. The original religion of Adam or Sumerian Alulim regarded the existence of one true Most High God, the Creator with reverence and awe and regarded other heavenly beings as subject to Him. The descendants of Adam regarded the Most High God as fatherly. They were not perfect in their religion of course and when fallen angels came the people had enough yearning for advancement that they were easily led astray into shamanism and early forms of Science. Enoch tells how God sent him true and pure and surpassingly wise and authoritative angels such as Uriel to teach him a purer way and body of knowledge and wisdom and insight that could save those who learned it. So began a struggle. It continues to this day except that in Western and Islamic countries and among followers of Western and Islamic ways the shamanism has advanced through Hermeticism into Modern Science and Modern Medicine while once outlawed witchcraft shamanism has taken on a New Age identity. Yet these were in some parts of the world such as China and Mongolia always traditionally mixed and mixed with a form of godly belief in a supreme Most High God too albeit summarised and depersonalised as Heaven or the Blue Sky. So these ways are all ‘cousins’ though admitedly not ‘brothers’, sharing in common that they all originated in Heaven among angels and the true distinction between them like the distinction between light and darkness is that some were taught with God’s blessing and some weren’t but were opposed by the Holy God as being too impure and harmful for the good of Mankind. Eventually God would send His long hidden Son to teach this distinction and show Himself as the true Way, providing the pure Holy Spirit of truth to lead those who believe and hold to His heavenly testimony.

The Cross

In the cross, the Almighty Father of the Son of Man (the Christ, ha Mashiach, al Massih) had a message for us all in making the death of His Son a hanging on a tree as a sacrifice to pay the debt owed to God. So we should love God and keep His teachings.

The First Dynasty

King Alulim, known today as Adam, founded a dynasty of the first civilisation living in what is now called Iraq. It lasted throughout the fourth millennium BC and into the third. Seventh king in line from this royal family, seventh generation descendant of Alulim, was Enmenduranki, known in our day as Enoch. Alulim, most ancient records tell us, ruled from the great city of Eridu which became one of the longest lasting cities of the time and is known well to modern day archaeologists for the long period it shows of successive habitation and glorious temple buildings. Seventh successor of Alulim, Enmenduranki (also called in ancient records Enmendurana), ruled from Sippur but his family lived for generations after him in a city of Shurappak known today because of its ancient writings and libraries of books, a few even dating from those times and one including writings of the last members of this dynastic family. These last members must have written and preserved the Book of Enoch writings we have today. Shortly after the last great worldwide king of this dynasty died, Ubara-Tutu, who we know as the long-lived Methuselah, the records say a flood swept over the land. So a new dynasty had to rule as only one family survived, that of Ubara-Tutu’s grandson Ziusudra who we call Noah. The ancient records tell us that although Ubara-Tutu was last overall king in that first dynasty of civilistation, Ziusudra did rule as a more local king before that Flood. The last capital city before the Flood, family home of the last members of the dynasty, was Shurappak, whose ruins are known today as Tell Fara. It became a city of learning and writing after the Flood and many books have been found and translated from its post-Flood times and from neighbouring cities, including records mentioned here, and so archaeologists and historians call that period of learning and writing the Fara Period after this city. Enmenduranki’s city Sippur too is known for a heritage left behind as a centre of learning and writing whose later books from its revival after the Flood have been some of them translated in our times. So it is feasible that from those times comes to us today the glorious Book of Enoch. Thanks be to God. 

Mash

MASH

What is the most wellknown cuneiform symbol throughout the world? How about the cuneiform symbol for the Sumerian and Akkadian word MASH (MAŠ). Why that symbol? Well it is the symbol of a simple cross. 𒈦

Wiktionary definition:

Noun

𒈦 (MAŠ)

1. şibtu "interest on a loan"

2. bīru; urīşu "sacrificial animal for omens"

3. mişru "border, boundary"

4. māšu “twin”

𒈦 (ĝešMAŠ)

1. gişşu "tree"

All look familiar? Clearly the Almighty Father of the Son of Man (the Christ, ha Mashiach, al Massih) had a message for us all in making the death of His Son an emblem meaning all those things - hanging on a tree as a sacrifice to pay the debt owed to God. Even the word Messiah which in Hebrew is Mashiach alludes to this word MASH.

God’s words for our times

Joshua 7:11 -

“‘Israel has sinned; they have violated my covenant, which I commanded them to keep. They have taken some of the devoted things; they have stolen, they have lied, they have put them with their own possessions.’“

Hosea 8:1 - 

‘"Put the trumpet to your lips! An eagle is over the house of the LORD because the people have broken my covenant and rebelled against my law.’”

Deuteronomy 6:4ff -

“‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.’”

Matthew 10:27 - 

‘What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs”’

IS THERE A LINK BETWEEN HERMON AND HERMETICISM?

Mount Hermon takes its name (the Book of Enoch tells us) from the descent onto it of the fallen angels who brought magic arts and other dark technologies to humans starting on that mountain. Hermeticism is the main way magic arts have come into modern Western cultures today. The names are similar and imply a connection. What might that connection be in both a linguistic and a cultural sense? Well I researched it online and tried to avoid quirky occultist sources but on Wikipedia there is some hint of the link. The ideas of Herneticism claimed in the Renaissance Period (following the popularity of Hermeticism in the Middle Ages in Europe) to come from a semi-mythical figure Hermes Trismegistus but the claims were disproved at that time. Yet nevertheless the magic traditions of Hermeticism in claiming this link to this Hermes Trismegistus do give us a hint to their origins because this writer whether in fictional or real writings uses that name to claim the origins of the occultic arts were from the ancient Greek god Hermes. So is there a link between Hermes and Hermon and is that link significant in linking magic back to the fallen angels? The etymological (historic development of words) link is the meaning of a herme as a pile of stones marking a pathway. These piles were used by travelers and often were put in place in the name of the Greek patron god of travellers Hermes. Likewise Hermon has a stone circle on it which might be the oldest in the world and might mark the place where the angels travelled to humans and passed on their knowledge of magic. That naming seems to be implied in the Book of Enoch’s explanation of the name of the mountain. So both Hermes and Hermon have long been associated with stone markers and travelling. Yet both have also long been associated with magic and this link might have a common root. According to Wkipedia article about Hermes “A cult was established in Greece in remote regions, likely making him a god of nature, farmers, and shepherds. It is also possible that since the beginning he has been a deity with shamanic attributes linked to divination, reconciliation, magic, sacrifices, and initiation and contact with other planes of existence, a role of mediator between the worlds of the visible and invisible.[108]” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermes . So the main cultural link seems to possibly be that in ancient early days of Greece (Mycenaean Greece) some kind association was made between magic arts practiced out in the countryside in those times and Mount Hermon where the fallen angels descended. This link might indeed be hinted at in the name these Mycenaeans gave him - Hermes. The earliest occurence of the name (this article tells us) comes from “Linear B” mysterious ancient writings of these people.

This hints at what it was these fallen angels taught - what purpose they might have given in their teachings. Shamanism: trying to teach a way to be reconciled to God or gods or both through uses of various items in rituals to appease gods - using gemstone beads and herbs and potions and the like to try to present a sacrifice to allow peace into which a god might speak and bless. This might have been presented to humans by these angels as a kind of religion and yet really it was the origin of magic. So ever since shamans (witch-doctors) have been regarded as providing religious priestly service whereas God taught a better purer more effective way to serve Him as priests. A great stand-off took place between these ways when Moses went to Pharoah as Exodus tells us. Centuries ater another stand-off was between prophets of Baal and Elijah on Mount Carmel. Centuries later again both Moses and Elijah returned for a moment to stand next to the Son of Man in what became known as the Mount of Transfuguration. This Son of Man then undid any need for shamanism by Himself dying as a perfect sacrifice to finally settle things with God on behalf of humans and it was proven acceptable by the Most High God when He raised the Son of Man from the dead to make Him true High Priest of those who come to God this way rather than through shamanism and magic. 

The Cross - a Settlement Reached

A settlement has been reached with God on mankind’s behalf and the resurrection of the Messiah to eternal life proves the settlement in that death of Him on the cross is sufficient and acceptable in God’s eyes forever.

Magma Chambers

Enoch 14:15ff 

“... and the entire portal stood open before me, and it was built of flames of fire. 16. And in every respect it so excelled in splendour and magnificence and extent that I cannot describe to you its splendour and its extent. 17. And its floor was of fire, and above it were lightnings and the path of the stars, and its ceiling also was flaming fire.”

The Book of Enoch although truly ancient shows scientific information such as the existence of huge empty magma chambers deep under mountains and volcanic regions. Recently a geological event drew attention again to these chambers when the magma appears to have suddenly drained from one near the South East coast of Africa and sent a shockwave right around the world in all directions. It puzzled scientists what could cause such low frequency tremors to so quckly reach all over the planet but now they are starting to realise that magma existing in huge voids beneath mountains can suddenly shift leaving huge empty chamber. The Book of Enoch relates journeys of Enoch under the power and guidance of an archangel into various mountain inner regions to see how God uses some of these empty magna chambers in the Middle East to gather the spirits of the dead and to site His own Throne of Glory.

The True Son of Man

THE TRUE SON OF MAN

There have been many angels called at various times sons of God but only one heavenly being has always been singled out as “like a son of man” because He is particularly human and humbly so, as one who needs to learn from God.  God called Ezekiel Son of Man as a term of endearment and as reminder that Ezekiel needed to humbly learn as a human the things of God and God could use Ezekiel’s firsthand knowledge to assign him tasks of being involved in the judgement of humans. In the experiences of Daniel, it was as human to human (fellow man) that the Son of Man laid a hand on the shoulder of Daniel to reassure him as he struggled to come to terms with heavenly things. Because He is Son of Man He can relate to humans and properly understand them because though heavenly in origin He is so like humans and was so before becoming flesh and while flesh and still now that He is the first immortal resurrected human. So there is no reason He should not also judge humans since He can do so sympathetically with true understanding. God wants it to be humans who judge humans so there can be true sympathy and understanding and no excuse for humans being judged. The ultimate holy human is the Son of Man, designated as Anointed One by God - of righteousness and faith. He has only ever learned from God as a human learns, even before becoming flesh when His humanness still back then singled Him out from angels. So He is able to teach humans those things He has learned since He knows what it is to learn from God as a human being. We should dwell on this. There is only and ever will be only one true Son of Man in heaven sent to live a life in the flesh and die for the sins of the world and rise again and live forever to judge and to save.

Essentials of Salvation

The Book of Enoch provides some information which is essential to salvation, such as the nature of the pre-existence of the Christ and the nature of the mortal sin of sorcery.

This leads to two conclusions:

Firstly if you want to stop people being saved, suppress the Book of Enoch.

Secondly it is almost essential to salvation to prove the veracity of the Book of Enoch. (‘Almost’ essential because there are direct revelations and miracles from Christ Himself through the Holy Spirit which can substitute for the book.)

Experiential Knowledge

The Son of Man made Himself known to me (as also did God the Father and the Holy Spirit around that time in mid nineties) and He is very much the Son of Man we see in scriptures (Enoch, Daniel, 2 Esdras, John, Revelation) - heavenly and mysterious and hidden but human and loving and kind and yet judge over all who is ever carrying judgements in God’s name - majestic.

Experiencing the Father - He is just awesome (“I am God”, He said) and fatherly and showed love for my colleagues - experiencing the Holy Spirit - He has a tremendous understanding of truth and wisdom - experiencing the Son of Man - I find He shows complete understanding of what it is to be human - that is why He is the Son of Man - the one who fully knows our humanity.

Eternal Life

Before the scriptures written by the New Testament writers the previous scriptures only hint that the Son of Man was a living man-like being before becoming flesh as that baby in Bethlehem. Daniel gives a glimmer of Him as a living man who spoke to Daniel and put a hand on his shoulder and was later struggling against angelic enemies and there are other hints at the Son of Man’s “goings forth from most ancient times” but in the Book of Enoch there is no question about it - the Son of Man was personally seen by Enoch and Enoch was taken up to Him and this Son of Man, the book tells us, was there with God hidden away before creation. So we see what Jesus meant by “Before Abraham was born, I am”. Here in the Son of Man proclaimed by Enoch we see what it is that someone has eternal life. And this Son of Man is still aive today and, He tells us, “alive forever”. And all because the Father gives Him life and raised Him from the dead. Letting what He truly is sink in, He becomes YOUR eternal life too.

The Three Way Settlement

The meaning of the cross symbol in the language of the ancient world meant settlement of debt or taxes and sacrificial offerings required as settlement with God for wrongs done. The cross of the crucifixion of the Son of Man made settlement in three ways.

1. We need to repent to be absolved of sinful status by God but even with repentance there is a debt to pay by blood sacrifice for forgiveness from God to be complete and the repented sins to be considered settled. The cross is the symbol from God that His Son’s death actually is that settlement blood sacrifice. This is our settlement with God. 

2. However, the repentance is not a guarantee of ceasing from sin - for a real prospect of major sin ceasing in this life it takes the ongoing work of the living Jesus and ongoing faith that He ever lives by God’s power - then holding to His teachings as a true disciple so He continues to set free from sins. Part of this holding to His teachings is the matter of forgiving others so that God can forgive us. This involves settlement between each other.

3. Especially life-giving faith is the belief that Jesus has flesh and has been just as human as us and died in that weak state - belief that the only life He now has is by resurrection given Him by God the Father (John 6:57). This is God settling things with us by making us righteous and giving us life through this belief in the reality of what Jesus is and was and will be forever.

CHRIST DIED FOR YOU

The Leopard

THE LEOPARD DOES NOT CHANGE ITS SPOTS 

Which leopard? The Hellenisers. The Hellenism that subjugated the Romans long before the Vandals sacked Rome. The Hellenisers took over Constantinople too and through it took over the world with their philosophies. They subverted the churches not just in Europe but everywhere. This leopard grew its spots in the days before Alexander the Great conquered the world. Daniel foresaw this leopard and Jesus showed John (in Revelation) how it would return as part of a new Beast. The Maccabbees lamented at how bad this leaopard was in subverting the Jews and setting up the abomination that causes desolation in the Temple of God. The Hellenisers made Jews fearful of staying true to their faith by forcing the masses to participate in social mass events that undermined Jewish religion. Jesus warned the abomination would return. The effects of the abominable Hellenisers continued and grew in the centuries after Christ ascended until their teachings were considered more Christian than Christ’s teachings. These guys and those who followed them stripped the truth of the Book of Enoch and history of Nephilim away from the churches.

The BrExodus Precedent

EXODUS

Exodus 9:

5The Lord set a time and said, “Tomorrow the Lord will do this in the land.” 6And the next day the Lord did it: All the livestock of the Egyptians died, but not one animal belonging to the Israelites died. 7Pharaoh investigated and found that not even one of the animals of the Israelites had died. Yet his heart was unyielding and he would not let the people go.

...

Exodus 10: 

24Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and said, “Go, worship the Lord. Even your women and children may go with you; only leave your flocks and herds behind.”

25But Moses said, “You must allow us to have sacrifices and burnt offerings to present to the Lord our God. 26Our livestock too must go with us; not a hoof is to be left behind. We have to use some of them in worshiping the Lord our God, and until we get there we will not know what we are to use to worship the Lord.”

27But the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he was not willing to let them go. 28Pharaoh said to Moses, “Get out of my sight! Make sure you do not appear before me again! The day you see my face you will die.”

29“Just as you say,” Moses replied. “I will never appear before you again.

...

Exodus 11: 

9The Lord had said to Moses, “Pharaoh will refuse to listen to you—so that my wonders may be multiplied in Egypt.” 10Moses and Aaron performed all these wonders before Pharaoh, but the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not let the Israelites go out of his country.

At the Cross

The fact that philosophically inclined people interested in Christ tend to find scripture verses they can use to justify their philosophical position does not mean God endorses their position or their philosophical leanings. God makes philosophy appear foolish by making the wonderful salvation of believers flow out of the inner workings of the message that Christ died for them. The cross is the sign that God has made settlement through the death on the cross of His Son. Hearing and taking to heart this message fills a believer whose heart is opened by God with knowledge of God’s truthfulness and rightness. 

“At the cross at the cross where I first saw the Light 

and the burden of my heart rolled away.

It was there by faith I received my sight 

And now I am happy all the day.”

When you are given to know God through the inner working of the death of Christ for you then you will love God because He has forgiven you and given you grace and taught you personally. But you might forget all this and lose your love for Him. So remember often and build on that love by acting on it and letting it fill your heart. Build on it by growing in goodness and knowledge and self-discipline and godliness and brotherly kindness and love for all the ones who love like this. Know God’s will and obey it.

The Meaning of the Cross

Researching the Book of Enoch got me paying attention to Sumerian and Akkadian cuneiform script and its meanings and their use in scriptures and understanding of things of God. One treasure I found is the original symbol of the cross and what it means -  https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/𒈦 The cross symbol means a settlement of account or a tax and similarly means a sacrifice which settles with God. It also came to be associated with those whose role was to settle things between God (or gods) and men - mediating. Such people typically offered sacrifices to appease gods before seeking oracles. So the lamb of God having such a symbol in being crucified on a cross shows the open mind that He is a sacrifice to settle things with God.

Dabela - ram, he-goat

DABELA - Ram, he-goat (Amharic, Ge’ez)

(Book of Enoch ch 90)

6. But behold lambs were borne by those white sheep, and they began to open their eyes and to see, and to cry to the sheep. 7. Yea, they cried to them, but they did not hearken to what they said to them, but were exceedingly deaf, and their eyes were very exceedingly blinded. 8. And I saw in the vision how the ravens flew upon those lambs and took one of those lambs, and dashed the sheep in pieces and devoured them. 9. And I saw till horns grew upon those lambs, and the ravens cast down their horns; and I saw till there sprouted a great horn of one of those sheep, and their eyes were opened. 10. And it †looked at† them [and their eyes opened], and it cried to the sheep, and the rams saw it and all ran to it. 11. And notwithstanding all this those eagles and vultures and ravens and kites still kept tearing the sheep and swooping down upon them and devouring them: still the sheep remained silent, but the rams lamented and cried out. 12. And those ravens fought and battled with it and sought to lay low its horn, but they had no power over it. 13. And I saw till the †shepherds and† eagles and those vultures and kites came, and †they cried to the ravens† that they should break the horn of that ram, and they battled and fought with it, and it battled with them and cried that its help might come. 14. And I saw till that man, who wrote down the names of the shepherds [and] carried up into the presence of the Lord of the sheep [came and helped it and showed it everything: he had come down for the help of that ram].  15. And I saw till the Lord of the sheep came unto them in wrath, and all who saw Him fled, and they all fell †into His shadow† from before His face.“

Dreams

DREAMS

Enoch appeared to warn of people getting sidetracked by following spurious dreams in chapter 99

“8. And they shall become godless by reason of the folly of their hearts,

And their eyes shall be blinded through the fear of their hearts

And through visions in their dreams.

9. Through these they shall become godless and fearful;

For they shall have wrought all their work in a lie,

And shall have worshiped a stone:

Therefore in an instant shall they perish.”

Clearly there are dreams and there are dreams.

The magi who visited the Son of Man when He was a baby were following a star in their magi understanding of what it signified but later they saved His life by following a warning in a dream. So magi wise in spiritual things were discerning of God-given dreams and discerning of dreams that should be ignored. The Law given to Moses warned about spirits coming to people predicting things: the warning is that the prediction not coming true is to be ignored but even if the prediction did come true but if the spirit led towards making idols then it should not be heeded. Yet the wise know to not ignore some dreams if they do show signs of coming from a God-sent spirit and are not leading to idolatry. Over thousands of years of human history folk all over the world have been led in dreams to making foolish idols out of things not supposed to be worshipped which has harmed true religion and corrupted humanity. Yet the Holy Spirit when given does lead through dreams as light amid this darkness. The wise magi who went to see the baby Son of Man followed the dream wisely and it proved to be a God-send saving God’s Son. Those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. 

What is the Kingdom of God?

What is the Kingdom of God?

The archaeology of Enoch’s times tells us clues about the meaning of Kingdom of God and what it is. Enoch’s original name shortened to Enoch over the centuries tells us the same as a sign of this kingdom. Enmenduranki. En meant Lord, AnKi meant God kingdom or God domain. The rest meant bridge. It tells us there is a task for us to be part of God’s domain by doing things led by the Spirit of God but then there is another challenge for us of bridging our holy task with our normal lives and human body needs so we manage to make it all holy. The Son of Man exemplfied this and taught it is like mixing yeast with dough.

The Offer

The ‘wealthy investor’ offer of the Son of Man given in the Name of the Father - what is it?

A bit like a business offer we can ask what is on offer and what is asked in return. What is on offer? Eternally perpetuated fulfilled life with constant salvation and inner renewal. What then is asked in return? What is that “If ...”?

It is like enrollment on His course which is really behind the scenes the Father’s course. The “if” is perpetually staying signed up - sticking with the Son and the Spirit as disciples.

‘If you abide with the word” https://lnkd.in/dVgEUnn - stick with the Son of Man and what He says as teacher - stay on His course - remain a disciple of Him - and follow the Spirit coming in His name. This is the deal to accept and perpetually keep to. Eternal enrolment with the Son and the Holy Spirit in the name of the Father in exchange for eternally being saved and renewed.

Our Sorceries

“... nor did they repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.” — Revelation 9:21

The use of metals to protect ourselves which of course endangers others and ultimately endangers everyone including ourselves, and provides a culture in which violence can increase; the use of colourful chemicals to brighten up our lives and overbrighten them which ultimately provides a culture in which promiscuity can increase; these things started around 3300 BC and have continued and increased since then. Archaeology shows all this and it was the background to the original writings found in the Book of Enoch which explains it as the result of Azazel an angel mixing with humans to gain a human wife and teaching things to humans better kept to angels alone. So archaeology backs up these things with evidence from around 3300 BC in Mesopotamia spreading from there. 

Then the veracity of the account details which passed through the ages is verified by the Son of Man preaching teachings consistent with the Book of Enoch and teaching that those writings are Scripture (as evidenced in the Gospel of John 7:38 and the Book of Enoch 49).

In Revelation this Son of Man together with the Father, God, testify that sorcery will be among the reasons humans will be permanently cast into fire as final judgement (Rev 21:8). Sorcery grew out of the technologies of metal working, according to the Book of Enoch (chapter 65). The Book of Enoch relates how Noah saw that sorcery in metallurgy would result in world destruction.

Book of Enoch chapter 65

Verse 1: 

“And in those days Noah saw the earth that it had sunk down and its destruction was nigh...”

Verses 6-11: 

‘And a command has gone forth from the presence of the Lord concerning those who dwell on the earth that their ruin is accomplished because they have learnt all the secrets of the angels, and all the violence of the Satans, and all their powers--the most secret ones--and all the power of those who practice sorcery, and the power of witchcraft, and the power of those who make molten images for the whole earth: And how silver is produced from the dust of the earth, and how soft metal originates in the earth. For lead and tin are not produced from the earth like the first: it is a fountain that produces them, and an angel stands therein, and that angel is pre-eminent. And after that my grandfather Enoch took hold of me by my hand and raised me up, and said unto me: 'Go, for I have asked the Lord of Spirits as touching this commotion on the earth. And He said unto me: "Because of their unrighteousness their judgement has been determined upon and shall not be withheld by Me for ever. Because of the sorceries which they have searched out and learnt, the earth and those who dwell upon it shall be destroyed." And these--they have no place of repentance for ever, because they have shown them what was hidden, and they are the damned: but as for thee, my son, the Lord of Spirits knows that thou art pure, and guiltless of this reproach concerning the secrets.”’

Origins of the Kingdom of God?

Origins of the Kingdom of God?

The people of the time of Enoch and Noah around 3000 BC living in what is now Iraq and Iran had the word Anunnaki which combined Anunna meaning sons of God with KI meaning domain or city. Ki on the end of a word is likely to be a diminutive signifying that the word might be a city or province or domain. So the word shows an awareness of there being of domain of the sons of God. There was a tradition at the time that the first angelic sons of God existijg long ago before the start of the human race were rejected by God after falling into sin and that God created humans with the purpose of eventually replacing these sons of God. In the meantime God had designated seven more sons of God to be closest to Him in their service. The Book of Enoch names these and some of the names are familiar such as Michael and Gabriel. The Epic of Gilgamesh written in the later years of Noah’s life tells how it was Noah who provided Sumerians with much of their teaching about the sons of God. Both Noah and Enoch his great grandfather are given in the Book of Enoch as its main authors who were made privy to knowledge of these angelic ministers over this earth. Yet nowhere in the writings in this book or other Sumerian writings does it indicate that angels are the ultimate focus of God’s longterm purposes except that they will be judged if they depart from His decrees and plans as a group of them did before Enoch’s time. The focus seems to coincide with that tradition that ultimately it is humans whose purpose is to be the stock from which God will select elect righteous sons to be with Him forever and He with them along with His righteous anointed Son, the perfect human.

The Gentle Judge

Considering why the prophet Enoch (in the Book of Enoch) focussed in his writings so much on the righteous Anointed One of faith being the Son of Man: As a son of man, eternal, yet like a young man in nature, the Son of Man can be gentle of heart and kind towards humans and forgive those who cannot repay their debts to His Father, God. Yet this cuts both ways because as the Son of Man made flesh (Jesus, Isa, Yeshu) said of the ones so forgiven who go out and torture those in much smaller debt to them, once the time comes for the Son of Man to review the situation He may well punish such former debtors by forcing them to repay their own debt to God formerly forgiven by Him. So what does this say about God’s character in giving this Son of Man authority over other humans to both forgive and judge? In doing so God provides humans with the very best just opportunity to receive mercy through someone of gentle sympathy to fellow humans whilst making any judgement that is yet incurred by the unmerciful in no way undeserved or overly harsh. This shows God in providing judgement provides the most tender and gentle form of judgement overall but not falling short of overall justice to the victim of merciless judgement by humans. This favours the poor and the victims while maintaining fairness and sternness when punishment is warranted.

Baptism into the way of the Son of Man

Baptism in the name of the Son of Man: 

The Son of Man seen by Enoch but hidden from most others became visible to many around 20-30 AD when He appeared in the flesh and He gave teachings which were powerful as little hurricanes here and there and changed the world. He also gave baptism into those teachings as a way for people who believed His message to commit to following His teachings. Yet how foolish that now so many who spread and preserve the practice of baptising ‘in His name’ and being so baptised are doing that without the important bit - following through with living by His teachings. Occasionally someone actually takes on his shoulders the yoke of adhering to and practising the teachings of the Son of Man while struggling with trying to understand them and put them into sensible action and some, but few, try to teach this to others too. So why is it an exception? Why do so many others go through the ritual of baptising but not the way of following?

the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world

Revelation 13:8b “...the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world.”

The Son of Man is now a slain and risen human being back in the provinces of God and His top angels and this was determined before the creation of the world as if it already was so. Given this eternal future nature of the Christ it figures that God would prepare Him long before sending Him to take a flesh and bone body for eternity to come. So it stands to reason that even aeons before He came the Son of Man would have the close resemblance to human flesh that made Enoch then later Daniel see Him and call Him a son of man.

A New World is Emerging

There was an ancient Sumerian king who was a great prophet and teacher about God and this Enoch (Enmendurana, seventh world king) saw the Son of Man long before this same Son of Man came as a human baby boy and grew to an adult we call Jesus of Nazareth. This Jesus (Yeshu, Yeshua, Isa) said it is not flesh that makes us children of Abraham but spirit. Children of Satan lie and hate. Children of Abraham put lying far from their mouths. This is what the Son of Man taught when He came. Then He died for us to set us free from lying and hating. The freedom from sinning comes when the true message that He died for you enters your heart and teaches you repentance (turning from such things). So keeping the Law of Moses and related teachings (Torah) is not all there is to it for the Jew and is not imposed upon the non-Jew. Saul of Tarsus kept that Law (Torah) better than most and had everything to help him do so (like the most famous master of the Law, Gamaliel to teach him). Yet still Saul hated followers of Yeshu (Jesus) of Nazareth and effectively showed hatred towards God and God’s Son by doing so. Then the Son of Man transformed him and we have the Apostle Paul. So Enoch tells it well thousands of years in advance what the Son of Man would be as a way to be saved but it is all so much more certain now that the Son of Man has come in flesh and blood, crucified and risen. As the chief apostle of Jesus, Peter put it (2 Peter 1:19) “... and we have the prophetic word more fully confirmed, to which you will do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.“ So we can receive prophecy as a gift from God confirmed by this coming of Jesus. Today God still speaks and says “Israel has sinned” and we see world events unfolding as a sign of the faithfulness of God’s prophetic word. We should love this God, this Father, with all our hearts as we see the events unfold and prophecy fulfilled. The US spy planes and other spying agencies take to the skies while below the Iranian and Balkan and Iraqi conflicts have taken many to destruction and a new order emerges to be an empire of tomorrow like combinations of the empires of the distant past. We can take these things as signs of the truth of the prophecies and write God’s prophetic words as notices in our households and shout them from rooftop and social media site. The love towards this one God Yahweh, the Father, proclaimed by the Son, is a way towards the elimination of sin from among the Israel of God and all of us who believe as we give God’s commands priority in all aspects of our lives and set them on both our lips and our hearts.

Next Level Perspective on Jesus Christ

“Next level” perspective on Jesus Christ. The perspective on Jesus Christ given in the Book of Enoch is important to the growth of faith because it takes the believer to the next level. In the Book of Enoch a believer in the book’s veracity and historic authenticity can find evidence of Jesus Christ existing as the Son of Man thousands of years before His advent as a baby. The Son of Man’s longevity is revealed. This revelation leads to the necessary conclusion that this Jesus who turns people from their sins and turns Sauls into Pauls can keep doing so for endless thousands of years into the future with the same person and eternal security becomes a reality.
