Jude1:3

Tertullian Quoting 1 Enoch 99:6-7 • Tertullian - On Idolatry - Chapter 4 (160-220 A.D.) Enoch had preceded, predicting that the demons, and the spirits of the angelic apostates, would turn into idolatry all the elements, all the garniture of the universe, all things contained in the heaven, in the sea, in the earth, that they might be consecrated as God, in opposition to God. All things, therefore, does human error worship, except the Founder of all Himself. The images of those things are idols; the consecration of the images is idolatry. Whatever guilt idolatry incurs, must necessarily be imputed to every artificer of every idol. In short, the same Enoch fore-condemns in general menace both idol-worshippers and idol-makers together. And again: "I swear to you, sinners, that against the day of perdition of blood repentance is being prepared. You who serve stones, and you who make images of gold, and silver, and wood, and stones and clay, and serve phantoms, and demons, and spiritsin fanes, and all errors not according to knowledge, shall find no help from them " • Tertullian - On Idolatry - Chapter 4 (160-220 A.D.) http://www.newadvent.org/fathers/0302.htm And again I swear to you, ye sinners, that sin is prepared for a day of unceasing bloodshed. And they who worship stones, and grave images of gold and silver and wood (and stone) and clay, and those who worship impure spirits and demons, and all kinds of idols not according to knowledge, shall get no manner of help from them. • 1 Enoch 99:6-7 http://reluctant-messenger.com/book_of_enoch.htm

A Collective Post of 1 Enoch Scriptures that Glorify Yeshua Messiah: 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. 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. 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. All Who Dwell On Earth Shall Fall Down And Worship Before Him, And will praise and bless and celebrate with song the Lord of Spirits. And for this reason hath He been chosen and hidden before Him, Before the creation of the world and for evermore. • 1 Enoch 48:2-6 And from henceforth there shall be nothing corruptible; For That Son of Man has appeared, And Has Seated Himself On The Throne Of His Glory, And all evil shall pass away before His Face, And the word of that Son of Man shall go forth And be strong before the Lord of Spirits. • 1 Enoch 69:29 And there was great joy amongst them, And they blessed and glorified and extolled Because the name of that Son of Man had been revealed unto them. And He Sat On The Throne Of His Glory, And The Sum of Judgement Was Given Unto The Son Of Man, And He caused the sinners to pass away and be destroyed from off the face of the earth, And those who have led the world astray. • 1 Enoch 69:26-27 On that day Mine Elect One shall sit on the throne of glory And shall try their works, And their places of rest shall be innumerable. And their souls shall grow strong within them when they see Mine Elect Ones, And those who have called upon My glorious name: Then will I cause Mine Elect One to dwell among them. And I will transform the heaven and make it an eternal blessing and light • 1 Enoch 45:3-4 And there I saw One who had a head of days, And His head was white like wool, And with Him was another being whose countenance had the appearance of a man, And his face was full of graciousness, like one of the holy angels. And I asked the angel who went with me and showed me all the hidden things, concerning that Son of Man, who He was, and whence He was, (and) why He went with the Head of Days? And he answered and said unto me: This is The Son Of Man who hath righteousness, With whom dwelleth righteousness, And who revealeth all the treasures of that which is hidden, Because the Lord of Spirits hath chosen him, And whose lot hath the pre-eminence before the Lord of Spirits in uprightness for ever. And this Son of Man whom thou hast seen Shall raise up the kings and the mighty from their seats, [And the strong from their thrones] And shall loosen the reins of the strong, And break the teeth of the sinners. [And he shall put down the kings from their thrones and kingdoms] Because they do not extol and praise Him, Nor humbly acknowledge whence the kingdom was bestowed upon them. And he shall put down the countenance of the strong, And shall fill them with shame. And darkness shall be their dwelling, And worms shall be their bed, And they shall have no hope of rising from their beds, Because they do not extol the name of the Lord of Spirits. And these are they who judge the stars of heaven, [And raise their hands against the Most High], And tread upon the earth and dwell upon it. And all their deeds manifest unrighteousness, And their power rests upon their riches, And their faith is in the gods which they have made with their hands, And they deny the name of the Lord of Spirits, And they persecute the houses of His congregations, And the faithful who hang upon the name of the Lord of Spirits. • 1 Enoch 46 For wisdom is poured out like water, And glory faileth not before him for evermore. For He is mighty in all the secrets of righteousness, And unrighteousness shall disappear as a shadow, And have no continuance; Because The Elect One standeth before the Lord of Spirits, And His Glory Is For Ever And Ever, And His Might Unto All Generations. And In Him dwells the spirit of wisdom, And the spirit which gives insight, And the spirit of understanding and of might, And the spirit of those who have fallen asleep in righteousness. And He shall judge the secret things, And none shall be able to utter a lying word before Him; For He Is The Elect One before the Lord of Spirits according to His good pleasure. • 1 Enoch 49 When the congregation of the righteous shall appear, And sinners shall be judged for their sins, And shall be driven from the face of the earth: And when the Righteous One shall appear before the eyes of the righteous, Whose elect works hang upon the Lord of Spirits, And light shall appear to the righteous and the elect who dwell on the earth, • 1 Enoch 38:1-2 And in those days shall the earth also give back that which has been entrusted to it, And Sheol also shall give back that which it has received, And hell shall give back that which it owes. For in those days The Elect One Shall Arise, And He shall choose the righteous and holy from among them: For the day has drawn nigh That They Should Be Saved. And The Elect One shall In Those Days Sit On My Throne, And His mouth shall pour forth all the secrets of wisdom and counsel: For the Lord of Spirits hath given (them) to Him and hath Glorified Him. • 1 Enoch 51:1-3 “Behold! My Servant whom I uphold,My Elect One in whom My soul delights!I have put My Spirit upon Him;He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles. He will not cry out, nor raise His voice, • Isaiah 42:1 http://reluctant-messenger.com/book_of_enoch.htm

And he said unto me: 'All these things which thou hast seen shall serve the dominion of His Anointed that He May Be Potent And Mighty On The Earth.' And that angel of peace answered, saying unto me: 'Wait a little, and there shall be revealed unto thee all the secret things which surround the Lord of Spirits. And these mountains which thine eyes have seen, The mountain of iron, and the mountain of copper, and the mountain of silver,And the mountain of gold, and the mountain of soft metal, and the mountain of lead, All these shall be In The Presence Of The Elect One As Wax: before the fire, And like the water which streams down from above [upon those mountains], And they shall become powerless Before His Feet. • 1 Enoch 52:4-6 http://reluctant-messenger.com/book_of_enoch.htm

Yet Even More of 1 Enoch that Glorifies Yeshua Messiah : And in those days shall the earth also give back that which has been entrusted to it, And Sheol also shall give back that which it has received, And hell shall give back that which it owes. For in those days The Elect One Shall Arise, And He shall choose the righteous and holy from among them: For the day has drawn nigh That They Should Be Saved. And The Elect One shall In Those Days Sit On My Throne, And His mouth shall pour forth all the secrets of wisdom and counsel: For the Lord of Spirits hath given (them) to Him and hath Glorified Him. • 1 Enoch 51:1-3 “Behold!

But, There were "Some" Christians (Tertullian, Ethiopian Orthodox Church etc.), that Did include it as Canon and "Some" Hebrews (Essenes) that Did include it as Biblical Canon. So, I know that "Mainstream Christianity" as of today doesn't include it as Biblical Canon. All I'm trying to say is that there are "Some" Christians that Did and Still do count it as Biblical Canon.

More of 1 Enoch that Glorifies Yeshua Messiah: On that day Mine Elect One shall sit on the throne of glory And shall try their works, And their places of rest shall be innumerable. And their souls shall grow strong within them when they see Mine Elect Ones, And those who have called upon My glorious name: Then will I cause Mine Elect One to dwell among them. And I will transform the heaven and make it an eternal blessing and light • 1 Enoch 45:3-4 http://reluctant-messenger.com/book_of_enoch.htm

Well, it is included in "One" of the Ancient Christian Church's Official Biblical Canons. The Ethiopian Orthodox has it: http://www.ethiopianorthodox.org/english/canonical/books.html

Evil Men did not cause it to be included in the Bible. It was scripture Before "The Council" of Jamnia in (70–90 A.D.) The Essenes used it as scripture before that "Council".

It is for basic information and I'm going to keep using it.

• Church Father Athenagoras of Alexandria also mentions Fallen angels mating with humans in his work A Plea For The Christians in Chapters 24 and 25 : (133-190 A.D.) http://ecmarsh.com/fathers/anf/ANF-02/anf02-46.htm#P2397_653146 Just as with men, who have freedom of choice as to both virtue and vice (for you would not either honour the good or punish the bad, unless vice and virtue were in their own power; and some are diligent in the matters entrusted to them by you, and others faithless), so is it among the angels. Some, free agents, you will observe, such as they were created by God, continued in those things for which God had made and over which He had ordained them; but some outraged both the constitution of their nature and the government entrusted to them: namely, this ruler of matter and its various forms, and others of those who were placed about this first firmament (you know that we say nothing without witnesses, but state the things which have been declared by the prophets); these fell into impure love of virgins, and were subjugated by the flesh, and he became negligent and wicked in the management of the things entrusted to him. Of these lovers of virgins, therefore, were begotten those who are called giants.91 And if something has been said by the poets, too, about the giants, be not surprised at this: worldly Wisdom and divine differ as much from each other as truth and plausibility: the one is of heaven and the other of earth; and indeed, according to the prince of matter,- Chapter 24 These angels, then, who have fallen from heaven, and haunt the air and the earth, and are no longer able to rise to heavenly things, and the souls of the giants, which are the demons who wander about the world, perform actions similar, the one (that is, the demons) to the natures they have received, the other (that is, the angels) to the appetites they have indulged. But the prince of matter, as may be seen merely from what transpires, exercises a control and management contrary to the good that is in God:- Chapter 25 http://ecmarsh.com/fathers/anf/ANF-02/anf02-46.htm#P2397_653146

From: https://www.christianforums.com/threads/the-book-of-enoch.7434497/ Reasons for accepting the Book of Enoch as the writing of the Biblical Enoch:1. Because of the fulfilled Messianic prophecies in its pages2. Because it answers so many questions raised by study of the Bible but not answered therein: The nature of the sin of the "sons of God" in Genesis 6 The curious origin of the Old Testament giants The origin of demons (which is) never expressly stated in the Bible The pervasive use by Christ of the term "the Son of Man" The nature of the angels' sin mentioned in Jude and 2 Peter 2 The sending of the scapegoat to Azazel in Leviticus 16 Jude's classification of Enoch as a prophet which is not mentioned elsewhere in the Bible It shows where Jude got his quote from Enoch 1:9 The origin and purpose of St. John's enigmatic "Bottomless Pit" It provides an ostensible framework for understanding the yet future 1,000-year earthly rule of Christ 3. Because it is demonstrably ancient and was in wide use, respected as valid among many among the people to whom our Lord came4. Because its authenticity as the source for Jude's quote has been vindicated by the Dead Sea Scrolls5. Because of the many external references to it by other pre-Christian Jewish books6. Because of the persistent testimony to its worth as Scripture by an ancient communion of Christian Orthodoxy7. Because Jude the half-brother of Christ testifies to its being the very words of Enoch, who Jude classifies a prophet8. Because I believe the Book of Revelation was truly revealed by God to John, and the Book of Enoch contained many of the same revealed items before John wrote his book

And that is why 1 Enoch is and has always been scripture. It was first Officially rejected at The Council of Jamnia in (70–90 A.D.) By Hebrews Who Specifically Excluded Other Hebrews that believed Yeshua was The Messiah from the Council. They rejected 1 Enoch because it was leading so many Hebrews to The Lord Jesus Christ : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_of_Jamnia

We should create another thread about this specific topic. Maybe I can show you there.

The quote from Early Church Father Justin Martyr gives us a Snap Shot of What Early Christians believed. The Other Quotes from Early Christian Fathers shows us that 1 Enoch was esteemed as Christian Scripture.

It helps fill in the gaps on vague topics.

One thing that always confused me before I knew about 1 Enoch was knowing exactly What were the unclean spirits that possessed people that Yeshua Messiah casted out of people. I used to think that it was Fallen Angels that possessed people but now after reading 1 Enoch and the quote by Justin Martyr I know that they are the Disembodied Spirits of the Offspring of union between Fallen Angels and Human wives: • Justin Martyr wrote in his Second Apology - Chapter 5 (100-165 A.D.) “But The Angels Transgressed this appointment, and were captivated by love of women, and begat children Who Are Those That Are Called Demons; http://www.newadvent.org/fathers/0127.htm • 1 Enoch 15:1-12 And He answered and said to me, and I heard His voice: 'Fear not, Enoch, thou righteous man and scribe of righteousness: approach hither and hear my voice. And go, say to the Watchers of heaven, who have sent thee to intercede for them: "You should intercede" for men, and not men for you: Wherefore have ye left the high, holy, and eternal heaven, and lain with women, and defiled yourselves with the daughters of men and taken to yourselves wives, and done like the children of earth, and begotten giants (as your) sons? And though ye were holy, spiritual, living the eternal life, you have defiled yourselves with the blood of women, and have begotten (children) with the blood of flesh, and, as the children of men, have lusted after flesh and blood as those also do who die and perish. Therefore have I given them wives also that they might impregnate them, and beget children by them, that thus nothing might be wanting to them on earth. But you were formerly spiritual, living the eternal life, and immortal for all generations of the world. And therefore I have not appointed wives for you; for as for the spiritual ones of the heaven, in heaven is their dwelling. And now, the giants, who are produced from the spirits and flesh, shall be called evil spirits upon the earth, and on the earth shall be their dwelling. Evil spirits have proceeded from their bodies; because they are born from men and from the holy Watchers is their beginning and primal origin; they shall be evil spirits on earth, and evil spirits shall they be called. [As for the spirits of heaven, in heaven shall be their dwelling, but as for the spirits of the earth which were born upon the earth, on the earth shall be their dwelling.] And the spirits of the giants afflict, oppress, destroy, attack, do battle, and work destruction on the earth, and cause trouble: they take no food, but nevertheless hunger and thirst, and cause offences. And these spirits shall rise up against the children of men and against the women, because they have proceeded from them. • 1 Enoch 15:1-12 http://reluctant-messenger.com/book_of_enoch.htm

Not All Of Them, but there are Many that are Unfortunately.

More Scripture: And there was great joy amongst them, And they blessed and glorified and extolled Because the name of that Son of Man had been revealed unto them. And He Sat On The Throne Of His Glory, And The Sum of Judgement Was Given Unto The Son Of Man, And He caused the sinners to pass away and be destroyed from off the face of the earth, And those who have led the world astray. • 1 Enoch 69:26-27

More scripture that Glorifies Yeshua Messiah in 1 Enoch: And from henceforth there shall be nothing corruptible; For That Son of Man has appeared, And Has Seated Himself On The Throne Of His Glory, And all evil shall pass away before His Face, And the word of that Son of Man shall go forth And be strong before the Lord of Spirits. • 1 Enoch 69:29

And Also stick To Their Made Up Masonic Controlled Denominations.

So let us once again review the mountain of Evidence that supports The Book of Enoch: #1 - Four Different Church Fathers making Reference to The Book of Enoch As Scripture: •Tertullian On the Apparel of Women I 3:1-3. (160-220 A.D.) “I am aware that the Scripture of Enoch, which has assigned this order of action to angels, is not received by some, because it is not admitted into the Jewish canon either. I suppose they did not think that, having been published before the deluge, it could have safely survived that world-wide calamity, the abolisher of all things. If that is the reason for rejecting it, let them recall to their memory that Noah, the survivor of the deluge, was the great-grandson of Enoch himself; and he, of course, had heard and remembered, from domestic renown and hereditary tradition, concerning his own great-grandfather’s ‘grace in the sight of God,’ (Genesis 6:8) and concerning all his preachings; since Enoch had given no other charge to Methuselah than that he should hand on the knowledge of them to his posterity. Noah therefore, no doubt, might have succeeded in the trusteeship of his preaching; or, had the case been otherwise, he would not have been silent alike concerning the disposition of things made by God, his Preserver, and concerning the particular glory of his own house. “If Noah had not had this conservative power by so short a route, there would still be this consideration to warrant our assertion of the genuineness of this Scripture: he could equally have renewed it, under the Spirit’s inspiration, after it had been destroyed by the violence of the deluge, as, after the destruction of Jerusalem by the Babylonian storming of it, every document of the Jewish literature is generally agreed to have been restored through Ezra. “But since Enoch in the same Scripture has preached likewise concerning the Lord, nothing at all must be rejected by us which pertains to us; and we read that ‘every Scripture suitable for edification is divinely inspired.’ (2 Timothy 3:16) By the Jews it may now seem to have been rejected for that very reason, just like all the other portions nearly which tell of Christ. Nor, of course, is this fact wonderful, that they did not receive some Scriptures which spake of Him whom even in person, speaking in their presence, they were not to receive. To these considerations is added the fact that Enoch possesses a testimony in the Apostle Jude.” (Jude 1:14-15) http://www.newadvent.org/fathers/0402.htm • Tertullian - On the Apparel of Women - Book 2 - Chapter 10 But, if the self-same angels who disclosed both the material substances of this kind and their charms— of gold, I mean, and lustrous stones— and taught men how to work them, and by and by instructed them, among their other (instructions), in (the virtues of) eyelid-powder and the dyeings of fleeces, have been condemned by God, As Enoch Tells Us, how shall we please God while we joy in the things of those (angles) who, on these accounts, have provoked the anger and the vengeance of God? http://www.newadvent.org/fathers/0402.htm • Irenaeus, The Proof of the Apostolic Preaching 18 (130-202 A.D) “And for a very long while wickedness extended and spread, and reached and laid hold upon the whole race of mankind, until a very small seed of righteousness remained among them: and illicit unions took place upon the earth, since angels were united with the daughters of the race of mankind; and they bore to them sons who for their exceeding greatness were called giants. And the angels brought as presents to their wives teachings of wickedness, in that they brought them the virtues of roots and herbs, dyeing in colours and cosmetics, the discovery of rare substances, love-potions, aversions, amours, concupiscence, constraints of love, spells of bewitchment, and all sorcery and idolatry hateful to God; by the entry of which things into the world evil extended and spread, while righteousness was diminished and enfeebled.” http://www.tertullian.org/fathers/irenaeus_02_proof.htm http://torahdrivenlife.com/articles/enoch/the-church-fathers-and-the-book-of-enoch/ • Origen - de Principiis - Book 1 - Chapter 3 - Section 3 (185-254 A.D.) That all things were created by God, and that there is no creature which exists but has derived from Him its being, is established from many declarations of Scripture; those assertions being refuted and rejected which are falsely alleged by some respecting the existence either of a matter co-eternal with God, or of unbegotten souls, in which they would have it that God implanted not so much the power of existence, as equality and order. For even in that little treatise called The Pastor or Angel of Repentance, composed by Hennas, we have the following: "First of all, believe that there is one God who created and arranged all things; who, when nothing formerly existed, caused all things to be; who Himself contains all things, but Himself is contained by none." And In The Book Of Enoch Also We Have Similar Descriptions. http://ecmarsh.com/fathers/anf/ANF-04/anf04-45.htm#P6244_1101010 • Anatolius (Third Century)- Ante Nicene Fathers - Book 6 - Section 5 But I shall pass on without demanding such copious demonstrations (on subjects ) from which the veil of the Mosaic law has been removed; for now it remains for us with unveiled face to behold ever as in a glass Christ Himself and the doctrines and sufferings of Christ. But that the first month among the Hebrews is about the equinox, Is Clearly Shown Also By What Is Taught In The Book Of Enoch. http://ecmarsh.com/fathers/anf/ANF-06/anf06-57.htm#P2468_688069 #2 - Josephus making reference to Angels mating with Humans to create Giants: • Titus Flavius Josephus - The Antiquities of the Jews - Book 1, Chapter 3, (37-100 A.D.) Now this posterity of Seth continued to esteem God as the Lord of the universe, and to have an entire regard to virtue, for seven generations; but in process of time they were perverted, and forsook the practices of their forefathers, and did neither pay those honors to God which were appointed to them, nor had they any concern to do justice towards men. But for what degree of zeal they had formerly shown for virtue, they now showed by their actions a double degree of wickedness; whereby they made God to be their enemy, for Many Angels Of God Accompanied With Women And Begat Sons that proved unjust, and despisers of all that was good, on account of the confidence they had in their own strength; for the tradition is, that these men did what resembled the acts of those whom the Grecians Called Giants. But Noah was very uneasy at what they did; and, being displeased at their conduct, persuaded them to change their dispositions and their acts for the better; but, seeing that they did not yield to him, but were slaves to their wicked pleasures, he was afraid they would kill him, together with his wife and children, and those they had married; so he departed out of that land. https://www.gutenberg.org/files/2848/2848-h/2848-h.htm#link2HCH0003 #3 - Justin Martyr making reference to Fallen Angels mating with Humans: • Justin Martyr wrote in his Second Apology - Chapter 5 (100-165 A.D.) “But the angels transgressed this appointment, and were captivated by love of women, and begat children who are those that are called demons; and besides, they afterwards subdued the human race to themselves, partly by magical writings, and partly by fears and the punishments they occasioned, and partly by teaching them to offer sacrifices, and incense, and libations, of which things they stood in need after they were enslaved by lustful passions; and among men they sowed murders, wars, adulteries, intemperate deeds, and all wickedness. Whence also the poets and mythologists, not knowing that it was the angels and those demons who had been begotten by them that did these things to men, and women, and cities, and nations, which they related, ascribed them to god himself, and to those who were accounted to be his very offspring, and to the offspring of those who were called his brothers, Neptune and Pluto, and to the children again of these their offspring. For whatever name each of the angels had given to himself and his children, by that name they called them“.

Some, free agents, you will observe, such as they were created by God, continued in those things for which God had made and over which He had ordained them; but some outraged both the constitution of their nature and the government entrusted to them: namely, this ruler of matter and its various forms, and others of those who were placed about this first firmament (you know that we say nothing without witnesses, but state the things which have been declared by the prophets); these fell into impure love of virgins, and were subjugated by the flesh, and he became negligent and wicked in the management of the things entrusted to him. Of these lovers of virgins, therefore, were begotten those who are called giants.91 And if something has been said by the poets, too, about the giants, be not surprised at this: worldly Wisdom and divine differ as much from each other as truth and plausibility: the one is of heaven and the other of earth; and indeed, according to the prince of matter,- Chapter 24 These angels, then, who have fallen from heaven, and haunt the air and the earth, and are no longer able to rise to heavenly things, and the souls of the giants, which are the demons who wander about the world, perform actions similar, the one (that is, the demons) to the natures they have received, the other (that is, the angels) to the appetites they have indulged. But the prince of matter, as may be seen merely from what transpires, exercises a control and management contrary to the good that is in God:- Chapter 25 http://ecmarsh.com/fathers/anf/ANF-02/anf02-46.htm#P2397_653146
