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: Hi bcbloyd, I can't help you on "His holy ten thousands" here in Jude. I did find a note to myself sometime in the past where I had compared this with the Lord's coming. So, I had compared 1 John 2:38 with Jude l:14; 1John 2:27 "teaches you about all things" with Jude 1:5 "though you know all things once for all"; and 1John 3:1 "For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him." with Jude 1:19 "These are the ones who cause divisions, worldly minded, devoid of the Spirit." Jude l:15 "Behold, the Lord came with many thousand of His holy ones, to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their ungodly deeds which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him." 1John 2:28b, "...we may have confidence and not shrink away from Him in shame at His coming. If you know that He is righteous,..." Sorry I couldn't help you but thanks for being there to talk to. Later, Ray |
