Bible Question: Can anyone explain where we in the OT learn of Enoch prophesying the things Jude says he did in Jude 1:14? The closest reference I can find is Moses--not Enoch--mentioning ten thousand holy ones in Deut 33:2. I read somewhere about a "Book of Enoch" that is noncanonical, but haven't seen it. Does this prophecy appear in it? If so, why would Jude mention prophecies from a non-canonical source or why would that book not be included in the Bible? |
Bible Answer: Dear bcbloyd, 'The Book of Enoch' is not included in "The New English Bible, with the Apocrypha" and though I do not own a "Catholic Bible, with Apocrypha" I do not think it is there, either. Look at Amazon.com, there were a few good reviews that might help you. One reviewer says that Jude is using a bit of sarcasm there. Blessings in Christ Jesus. |
