“The Book of Enoch was found in the 18th century. It was assumed to have been penned after the beginning of
the Christian era. This theory was based on the fact that it had quotes and paraphrases as well as concepts found in the New Testament. Thus, it was assumed that it was heavily influenced by the writers such as Jude and Peter.
“However, recent discoveries of copies of the book among the Dead Sea Scrolls found at Qumran prove the book was in existence before the time of Jesus Christ.” Dr. 
Joseph B. Lumpkin in his Introduction to The Books of Enoch: The Angels, The Watchers and The Nephilim (with Extensive Commentary on the Three Books of Enoch, the Fallen Angels, the Calendar of Enoch, and Daniel’s Prophecy.)
I have discussed this information with strict, Bible-based Christians, some of whom deny that Jesus quoted Enoch. But when Dead Sea Scrolls were found they provided proof that Jesus and the apostles did in fact, refer to the messages Enoch provided, and they did so more than 100 times in the New Testament of today’s modern Bible.
Here are some of the comparisons:

Lumpkin points out that the term, the “Elect One” is a most significant term, found in the Book of Enoch 14 times. The Letter of Jude, nestled between the Third Letter of John and the Book of Revelations in the New Testament, in verse 14 says that “Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied.” In verse 15, Jude quotes Enoch word-for-word saying, “to excute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly.”
An interesting difference in Luke 9:35 from the other accounts of the Transfiguration of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew and the Gospel of Mark, is Luke’s choice of words from Enoch, referring to Jesus as The Elect One, as opposed to the commonly mistranslated, “This is my beloved Son.”
In Hebrews 11:5 in today’s Bible says, “By faith Enoch was taken up (Lumpkin’s word used is “translated.” Today we might understand this better as “Ascended”). Lumpkin says, “Enoch experienced the “rapture” in his time before the judgment before the Flood. What Enoch experienced is what some modern Christians believe is waiting for the church. I Thessalonians 4:15-17 promises that Jesus will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel and the trumpet of God, and the church will be taken up, or “raptured,” to meet him in the air.”
I might add here, 1 Thessalonians 4:17 continues by adding, “… and so we shall always be with the Lord.” This point brings us to the understanding that All Is One in the Lord of Light, Love and ETERNAL LIFE.
We are asked in these writings to hear the words of Jesus and Enoch, ALL of their words. Remember, Jesus said in John 4:14 “the water that I shall give shall be IN HIM a well of water springing up into everlasting life.”
This is what I have been saying, especially in the previous 5 posts, that this LOVE of God, this LIGHT of God, this LIFE of God lives within each of us. It grows in us the more we think and make decisions based on LOVE.
When we think and make decisions based on NOT LOVE, this well spring of water dries up. The LIGHT within our Souls dims. We separate ourselves from LOVE and LIGHT, which then manifests an unbalanced world of negative energies. What we think about, we bring about.
Jesus, in Luke 17:21, says the Kingdom of God is WITHIN US. Most translations which changed these words to “among you,” are now going back to the original translation which reads “within you.”
Stay in LOVE. Keep thoughts that are LIGHT, harmony, peace, joy, empathy, compassion for your health, the health and lifeof all people, and the health and life of the planet.
