The Book of Enoch, an ancient text, offers valuable historical and biblical context, as it was widely known and copied in ancient times. This text, now available in a definitive version with commentary and artwork, sheds light on the Genesis 6 event and the supernatural realm. The collaboration between Blurry Creatures and Tim Alberino aims to provide an accurate and engaging interpretation of this important text.

    • Nephilim series, Book of EnochThe Nephilim series, starting with the Book of Enoch, combines podcast conversations and artwork to offer a fresh perspective on ancient texts, revealing insights into the origins of the Watchers and their connection to Jesus, while the Ethiopians preserved the text, ensuring its survival for modern readers despite its rejection from Jewish and Christian canons.

      The Nephilim series, starting with the unique and definitive Book of Enoch, is an exciting new project that brings together conversations from the Blurry Creatures podcast and translates them into a visually engaging and conceptually unique retelling of the ancient text. The Book of Enoch, with its conceptual scenes and artwork, offers a fresh perspective on the antediluvian world and the Watchers, providing insights into the origins of these intriguing characters. The collaboration between the podcast hosts and artists is expected to result in a popular series, with the first volume offering a comprehensive and validated interpretation of the text, including specific prophecies about Jesus that predate his birth. The book's age is uncertain, but its earliest portions, particularly the Book of the Watchers and the Parables, were written before Christ. Despite being nearly eradicated from libraries in Europe and the Middle East, the Ethiopians preserved the Book of Enoch, ensuring its survival for modern readers. The book's rejection from both Jewish and Christian canons can be attributed to the context of the times, with more controversy surrounding its inclusion among Christians.

    • Jewish rejection of the Book of EnochThe early Jewish community, particularly Orthodox Jews, rejected the Book of Enoch due to its messianic prophecies about Jesus of Nazareth, while early Christians saw it as inspired scripture despite objections to its authorship and content

      The early Jewish community, specifically Orthodox Jews, rejected the Book of Enoch due to its testimonies about Jesus of Nazareth as the Messiah. This rejection was driven by the Jewish community's animosity towards Christianity and their desire to distance themselves from anything that suggested Jesus was the elect one. The book, which contains significant messianic prophecies, was considered a powerful testimony of Jesus' identity. However, within the Christian community, the primary objections to the Book of Enoch revolved around its authorship and content, particularly the concept of fallen angels having sexual intercourse with human women. Despite these objections, the early church, including the disciples of Christ and Jesus himself, referenced the Book of Enoch, considering it as inspired scripture and legitimate prophecy. Jesus' references to mansions in heaven, for instance, can only be understood within the context of the Book of Enoch.

    • Book of Enoch's exclusion from Christian canonThe Book of Enoch, with its depiction of angels and humans engaging in sexual relationships, was excluded from the Christian canon due to its content, despite archaeological evidence of its ancient origins and quotes in the New and Old Testaments.

      The Book of Enoch, although not included in the Christian canon, was widely known and referenced during biblical times. Its exclusion was likely due to its content, particularly the depiction of angels engaging in sexual relationships with humans, which was considered unseemly by some early Christians. The Ethiopian copy of the Book of Enoch, which is the only surviving ancient version, has been verified through archaeological findings at Qumran. Despite debates about its authorship and dating, the ancient origins of certain parts of the book are undeniable, as evidenced by quotes in the New Testament and the Old Testament. The primary reason for its exclusion from the canon was the content, which some early Christians found objectionable. However, there was also support for its inclusion in the early Christian era.

    • Book of EnochThe Book of Enoch, though controversial, was believed to be holy scripture by several early church fathers and influenced the Old and New Testaments with its context and clarification of biblical references, such as Jesus' use of 'Son of Man'.

      The Book of Enoch, though controversial, was considered holy scripture by several prominent church fathers, including Clement, Barnabas, Irenaeus, Origen, Tertullian, and Justin Martyr. These scholars believed that the Book of Enoch was preserved through the flood by Noah and ultimately delivered to the descendants of Abraham as scripture. The synagogues during the time of Christ are believed to have had this text, and it is referenced numerous times in both the Old and New Testaments. The Book of Enoch is considered a Rosetta Stone for understanding the Old and New Testaments, providing context and clarification to many biblical references. For instance, Jesus' preference for the title "Son of Man" can be traced back to the Book of Enoch, predating his birth. Theologians often overlook this connection, but it is a crucial piece of biblical history. The Book of Enoch's influence extends beyond the scriptures, offering valuable insights into the historical and religious context of the time.

    • Book of Enoch propheciesThe Book of Enoch, an ancient text, foretold the Son of Man's role as a source of support for the righteous, a light to the Gentiles, and prefigurations of the crucifixion, aligning with New Testament doctrines.

      The Book of Enoch, an ancient manuscript predating the birth of Jesus, contains prophecies about the Son of Man that align closely with New Testament doctrines. These prophecies, found in the Book of Parables, include the Son of Man being a source of support for the righteous and a light to the Gentiles, as well as prefigurations of the crucifixion. The synchronistic nature of these prophecies with New Testament teachings adds depth and clarity to the understanding of Christ's role and title as the Son of Man. Despite the manuscript's early origins, some scholars dispute its influence on New Testament writers due to its explicit messianic content. However, the Book of Enoch's prophecies offer valuable insights into the Christology of the New Testament and the recognition of Jesus as the Son of God by his adversaries.

    • Biblical demons and NephilimThe Book of Enoch explains that demons are disembodied spirits of the Nephilim and they seek to inhabit human bodies due to their lack of a physical form, while the Son of Man is recognized as the future judge of mankind

      The Book of Enoch provides crucial context to understand various biblical stories, particularly those involving demons and the Son of Man. According to the text, demons are the disembodied spirits of the Nephilim, and they seek to inhabit human bodies due to their insatiable desires and lack of a physical form. The Son of Man, who is also the Son of God, is recognized by these demons as the future judge of mankind. The Old Testament provides hints of these concepts, but the Book of Enoch offers explicit details. Without this foundational knowledge, it's challenging to fully grasp the significance of these stories within the broader context of Hebrew cosmology.

    • Hebrew cosmology and demonsDemons in Hebrew cosmology are described as beings with strong desires and needs, often unable to create advanced technology or possess unlimited powers, and understanding their context is crucial for interpreting texts like the Book of Enoch.

      Demons, according to Hebrew cosmology, are described as beings with strong desires and needs, leading them to inhabit bodies in order to satiate them. This concept is reflected in various pieces of pop culture, such as the Pirates of the Caribbean series, where characters are cursed and unable to eat or drink. Demons are often portrayed as limited beings, incapable of creating advanced technology or possessing unlimited powers. The visceral reaction against discussing the Apocrypha, specifically the Book of Enoch, in some Christian circles can be attributed to a rigid and dogmatic mindset that limits the understanding of scripture to what is contained within the canon. To fully comprehend the complexity of texts like the Book of Enoch, one must be able to parse and understand the context and historical background of the text.

    • Interpreting the Bible with the Book of EnochThe Book of Enoch, an ancient text, provides valuable context and insights for interpreting the Bible by expanding our understanding of biblical events and characters through speculative but thought-provoking background information, despite its esoteric content and challenges in distinguishing literal and symbolic meanings.

      The Book of Enoch, an ancient text, offers valuable context and insights when interpreting the Bible. It expands our understanding of biblical events and characters by providing background information that is often speculative but thought-provoking. The text, divided into different sections, contains esoteric content that requires careful interpretation, as it is filled with visions, dreams, and metaphorical language. The challenge lies in distinguishing between literal and symbolic meanings, as some people may try to discredit the text based on its scientific inaccuracies or use it to promote their own theories. Ultimately, the Book of Enoch serves as a crucial resource for understanding Second Temple Judaism and the cultural context of the Bible.

    • Interpretation of metaphorical textsThe Book of Enoch and other similar texts should not be taken literally, but rather interpreted metaphorically, allegorically, and parabolically to reveal deeper spiritual truths.

      The book of Enoch, which contains dreams and visions, should not be taken literally at face value. Instead, these texts are metaphorical, allegorical, and parabolic, representing deeper spiritual truths. The passage discussed mentions stars and their relation to the number of angels and their revolution producing lightning. However, this is not to be taken literally as stars do not produce lightning. Instead, this symbolizes the names of the holy who dwell on earth and believe in the name of the Lord of spirits forever and ever. This interpretation is crucial for understanding the book of Enoch and other similar texts, which require a wise and interpretive mind. The Bible, especially its prophecies, also contains such metaphorical and allegorical elements. Understanding this will enrich one's reading and appreciation of these texts.

    • The Book of EnochAn ancient manuscript believed to contain prophecies of Jesus Christ, offering valuable insights into 2nd Temple Judaism and relevant for understanding historical and spiritual contexts

      The Book of Enoch, an ancient manuscript considered to contain prophecies of Jesus Christ, is a complex and important text for understanding both historical and spiritual contexts. It is a revelation of Jesus Christ and provides valuable insights into the cultural trends and perceptions of 2nd Temple Judaism. While some portions may be esoteric and challenging to understand, they offer valuable information and should not be overlooked. The manuscript's preservation through the ages, from the dawn of mankind to the present day, adds to its significance and importance. Enoch, the possible author, wrote these texts for those living at the end of the age, making it a document of great relevance for us today.

    • Book of Enoch, Jesus and the gospelThe Book of Enoch, with its unique commentary, scenes, and visual content, offers a fresh perspective on Jesus and the gospel of Christ, adding excitement and seriousness to the story of humanity.

      The Book of Enoch, specifically the Parables and the Book of the Watchers, offers a deeper understanding and appreciation of Jesus and the gospel of Christ. This ancient text, which includes unique commentary, conceptual scenes, and visual content, provides a fresh perspective on the antediluvian world and the predictions about the Son of Man. The collaboration between the creators resulted in a high-quality production, and readers are encouraged to explore this volume 1 in the Nephilim series, with more volumes coming soon. The Book of Enoch adds excitement and seriousness to the story of humanity, emphasizing the epic nature of Christ's role in saving humanity from the beginning. So, grab a copy of the Book of Enoch and join the conversation about the intriguing prophecies and dreams within dreams.

    EP: 240 Wormholes with Ashton Forbes
    We welcome back Ashton Forbes to embark on a journey through the speculative realms of wormhole technology. Ashton has led the investigation into the missing Malaysian flight MH370; his most recent conclusions are startling. Forbes believes that the video and satellite evidence and the physics of the perceived phenomena surrounding the last minutes of Flight 370 may suggest the missing plane encountered a wormhole, a hypothetical tunnel through spacetime, leading to its mysterious disappearance. Ashton makes a great case that this science explains exactly why we cannot find the vanished aircraft. What are the implications? Why do so many people refuse to accept that elites may control this technology? What does the science say about the plausibility of manmade wormholes? Squatchella.com for LIVE TICKETS!
