Subject: Enoch's prophesy in OT?

Bible Note: Thanks for the commentary notes. It is always interesting to see what others have had to say about a text.

Here is another:

David Stern's Commentary: "Jude quotes 1 Enoch 1:9 . 1 Enoch, a compilation of writings by several authors who lived in the last two centuries BC, is one of the Pseudepigrapha, Jewish books attributed to famous biblical figures, such as Enoch. Such attributation was not deceptive but either hororific or a means of identifying the message of the actual author with the character and activity of the supposed one; compare the writer of an historical novel or documentary who puts words in the mouth of George Washington.
Jude's quoting a non-canonical book does not make 1 Enoch inspired Scripture, nore does it disqualify Jude's letter. Paul quated pagan authors at Ac 17:28-29 and Ti 1:12, and no one supposes that their words should be included in Holy writ or Paul's excluded."

An interesting study would be to find out how first century Jews and Jewsih believers felt about the Oral Teachings (Oral Torah), and books like Enoch. It's quite interesting, but beyond the scope of this text discussion.

It's been nice discussing with you.
