Jødiske skrifter: Tanakh, Tora

One of the most important Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha works of the Second Temple Period is Enoch.According to the biblical narrative (Genesis 5:21-24), Enoch lived only 365 years (far less than the other patriarchs in the period before the Flood).Enoch "walked with GOD."Enoch is a figure who receives direct personal revelation from God. He sees the magnificence of God and begins to preach to those around him against sin. He warns that the sinners will be winnowed and that God himself will appear on Mount Sinai to judge the humans as well as the fallen angels on Earth. Among the more controversial material within this text is the detailed account it gives of fallen angels on earth and their cursed offspring, the Nephilim. Azazel features heavily as the instigator of metal weapon production, the use of cosmetics and advocate of widespread promiscuity and fornication. In this book, the figure of Enoch is charged with the knowledge of God's chosen and brutal punishment for the Nephilim, their human mothers and their Angel fathers.The Book of Enoch is a pseudoepigraphal work (a work that claims to be by a biblical character). The Book of Enoch was not included in either the Hebrew or most Christian biblical canons, but could have been considered a sacred text by the sectarians. The original Aramaic version was lost until the Dead Sea fragments were discovered. This is a compilation of several separate works, most of which are apocalyptic. Its oldest portion is the "Apocalypse of Weeks," written shortly before the Maccabean uprising of 167 BC against the Seleucids. The Ethiopic Book of Enoch is called a "pseudepigraphical work," meaning one that is not included in any canon of scripture, outside of even the Apocrypha. The only complete extant version is an Ethiopic translation of a previous Greek translation made in Palestine from the original Hebrew or Aramaic. The Book of the Watcher, tells the story of fallen angels from Gen 6:1-4 that took wives, created the Nephilim, and taught advanced technology to mankind, ultimately leading to the great flood and their destruction. The Parables of Similitude, is an apocalyptic book about the Son of Man and the Ancient of Days. These ancient prophecies of Jesus are directly in line with what we find in the Bible, and are remarkably similar to The Book of Revelation. The Book of the Courses of the Heavenly Luminaries is a detailed account of the stars and their functions. The Dream Visions is the prophecy of all human history, from the creation of mankind all the way to the end times and the final judgement. The past, present, and future are foretold in grand detail. The prophecy of weeks is similar to the prophecy structure in the book of Daniel. The Noah Fragments is the untold story of Noah from the Bible. We learn more about his mission to save all humanity and the struggles of his father Lamech and his grandfather Methuselah. Finally, included herein are all known fragments of The Book of Giants. Each work is independent, but all the works are bound by a common theme: the punishment of the wicked and the blessedness of the righteous.

Looking for a commentary and researched reference on the Book of Enoch?The Book of Enoch has had many translations that have been very academic in nature; often daunting and inaccessible to the modern reader. "Book of Enoch: The Ways of God, Angels and Men" has no pretensions to highbrow academic scholarship but seeks to be properly researched, helpful, and prove itself reliable to readers.Angels and Demons have occupied a special place the human imagination. They personify the continued struggle between two opposing forces: light and darkness, Heaven and Hell, good and evil. Roman Catholics are familiar with statues and paintings of Michael the Archangel stepping on the body of Lucifer while brandishing a flaming sword. Christians know of the Nativity story that began with Angel Gabriel's Annunciation to the Virgin Mary to the choir of angels that heralded the birth of the Messiah to the shepherds out in the fields.Sometimes referred to as The lost books of Christianity, Enoch deserves to be as popular as the recent translations of Gnostic works made available from the latest discoveries like the Gospel of Judas.

"In When You Want to Yell at God, Craig Bartholomew asks us to let go of the Job we know so we can get to know the real man. Job's story refutes the idea that "what goes around comes around." Suffering is not always the result of wrong behavior, and right behavior does not always guarantee blessing: but God is always faithful. Looking at Job as the height of biblical poetry, Bartholomew helps us see just how beautiful and touching this man's struggle with God really is."--Cover.

An essential question...and rocks--lots of rocks.An essential reply...and something about a rock.What's that about?"Who do you say that I am?" Jesus asked.Before that crucial question, there were dozens of clues: the rock that sheltered Moses when he asked to see the face of God, the rock that gushed water for a million thirsty migrants, the rock that formed a solid foundation, and the rock that trips people.Simon Peter got the answer out."You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God!"And on this great rock, this great realization, Jesus said, "I will build my church."And there it is, the Shekinah--the glory of God!

The book of Judges can pose many puzzles for readers today: who were the "judges"? Why was this book written, and how does it fit into the biblical narrative? And how can the story it tells--one of bloodshed, intrigue, and rejection of Yahweh's authority--change our understanding of God today? Deserting the King guides readers through the difficulties that the book of Judges can pose for readers as it traces both the evil and redemption present in Israel's approach to kingship--and, by extension, God. And while examining the book's structure and key themes, author David Beldman draws in stories from his life and the world today, showing how this Old Testament book, in its darkness and heroism, gives us a lens to see God's at work throughout history.
