Chapter 1: Enoch is Taken

And so we start the fourth book.

And it came to pass after this that his name during his lifetime was raised aloft to that Son of Man and to the Lord of Spirits from amongst those who dwell on the earth. Kingdom 1:1

So we see that Enoch was exalted, into the being of myth.

And the angel Michael seized me by my right hand and lifted me up and led me forth into all the secrets, and he showed me all the secrets of righteousness. And he showed me all the secrets of the ends of the heaven, and all the chambers of all the stars, and all the luminaries, Whence they proceed before the face of the holy ones. And he translated my spirit into the heaven of heavens and I saw there as it were a structure built of crystals and between those crystals tongues of living fire. And my spirit saw the girdle which girt that house of fire and on its four sides were streams full of living fire, and they girt that house. And round about were Seraphin, Cherubic, and Ophannin: And these are they who sleep not and guard the throne of His glory Kingdom 1:8-12

So either this is another vision or it is a telling of being taken from the homestead of Adam and Eve, who if we remember Genesis were only taken away from the Garden of Eden, not banished to Earth. But they did interact with those on Earth. It is to be noted that their time passed 10 times slower than those who experienced Earth's time, suggesting that they could have been on another planet, being the only beings that lived for nearly a millennia.

They describe God's form, or the best they could do while making him accessible to the general public.

And with them the Head of Days, His head white and pure as wool, and His raiment indescribable. Kingdom 1:16

So God does not have the hair of a white man, because it would have been described as straight as wheat or something. Many depictions of God has him closer aligned to white people, even though the source material tells us he was closer to those with afro's than that of the tribes of Europe. I get why this changes

In neither of these depictions do I see wool like hair.

And I get it, those in power wanted the white population to control and subdue. Using the Bible into tricking you away from the path of the righteous. If God looks white, it gives the white population proximity points, because when you say "made in god's image" you want a god that looks like you, instead of some foreigner. The last image is called the Creation of Adam, and it was painted by Michelangelo.

Who skin would tan in enough sun, but never enough to be confused as Middle Eastern. To know why this annoys me, you must know something about art history. White washing Jesus and God happened during the beginning of the Renaissance when a woman called Birgitta of Sweden had visions of a white and blond Jesus, and later the Mormons portrayed Jesus as a white guy with blue eyes. So who is the liar? For Satan may take on many forms, but never blatantly lies. He told the truth about the apple in the Garden, that they would not die. Now most people see beings of light to be light skinned, that their skin emits the colour and not some internal energy. Again because of European influence, the entire Bible went from some Middle Eastern Jew, to some white guy who lives in proximity to God.

And He came to me and greeted me with His voice, and said unto me: "This is the Son of Man who is born unto righteousness, and righteousness abides over Him, and the righteousness of the Head of Days forsakes Him not." And he said unto me: "He proclaims unto thee peace in the name of the world to come; for from hence has proceeded peace since the creation of the world, and so shall it be unto thee for ever and for ever and ever. And all shall walk in his ways since righteousness never forsaketh Him. With Him will be their dwelling places, and with Him their heritage, and they shall not be separated from Him for ever and ever and ever. Kingdom 1:20-23

So we know that Enoch has a place in heaven, as it was being built. That is pretty cool for him. This is why I am reading this Jewish piece of writing, because it holds a lot of small information that gets looked over by Christians. Just because these stories happened before Jesus does not change too much. Maybe God and Jesus are shapeshifters like Lucifer, able to change their skin colour to match whoever is in charge of the world. As the Christian population grew, the more white people got involved in this religion. But because God was okay with the white washing of Jesus, the father of lies, does not fit with my understanding of the Devil, due to the fact I have read the Satanic Bible.

Chapter 2:The Luminaries

If this was written today, it would be called "The Influencers".

The book of the courses of the luminaries of the heaven, the relations of each, according to their classes, their dominion and their seasons, according to their names and places of origin, and according to their months, which Uriel, the holy angel, who was with me, who is their guide showed me. And he showed me all their laws exactly as they are, and how it is with regard to all the years of the world and unto eternity, till the new creation is accomplished which dureth till eternity. And this is the first law of the luminaries: the luminary the sun has its rising in the eastern portals of the heaven, and its setting in the western portals of the heaven. Kingdom 2:1-3

And first there goes forth the great luminary, named the sun, and his circumference is like the circumference of the heaven, and he is quite filled with illuminating and heating fire. Kingdom 2:5

The sun, as an influencer. This chapter reminds me of Grecian mythology, how the sun was a chariot driven over the lands by Apollo. The reason why Greek myth was so popular is because it was focused on the dramatic character-driven narratives featuring flawed, human-like Gods. The Roman stories were more political and functional.

The more I read this, the more I understand they were trying to understand the pattern of the sun and explain it, within the confines of what Sheol or heaven would look like. There are mentions of different portals used to explain the seasons.

After watching the sun go through the portals, Enoch saw them moon.

And after this law I saw another law dealing with the smaller luminary, which is named the Moon. Kingdom 2:38

It goes on to talk about the moon's pattern from the sky.

This goes on to name that there are 364 days in a year.

This is just an attempt at making a calendar that works for everyone.

By passage 74 it talks about the winds that cross the land.

In this place are mountain ranges that do not exist on Earth.

By the 90th passage it still talks about where the wind lives when it is not going through the portals that control earth. So there isn't a lot happening in this chapter, an attempt to explain the pattern of the sun and moon during seasons.

This was at a time where they thought the moon radiated its own light instead of reflecting the sun's light. So here we go to understand what is actually happening.

When the moon is between the Earth and the sun, we cannot see it, for the sun is shining on the back of the moon.

And there we have it, how the moon emits light in the dark night sky. There are no portals, just an object caught in orbit that reflects the sun's light.

Chapter 3: The Heavenly Tablets

And He said unto me: "Observe, Enoch, these heavenly tablets and read what is written thereon, and mark every individual fact." And I observed the heavenly tablets, and read everything which was written and understood everything, and read the book of all the deeds of mankind, and of all the children of flesh that shall be upon the earth to the remotest generations. Kingdom 3:10-11

So I guess that this chapter will be different from the previous one, but it is still a fan theory on how things worked.

One year we will leave thee with thy son, till thou givest thy commands, that thou mayest teach thy children and record for them, and testify to all thy children; and in the second year they shall take thee from their midst. Let thy heart be strong, for the good shall announce righteousness to the good; The righteous with the righteous shall rejoice and shall offer congratulation to one another. But the sinners shall die with the sinners and the apostate go down with the apostate. And those who practice righteousness shall die on account of the deeds of men and be taken away on account of the doings of the godless. And in those days they ceased to speak to me, and I came to my people, blessing the Lord of the world Kingdom 3:16-20

So, what, am I to assume that he was invited into Heaven as it was being finalised, but would be sent down to spend a year of Earth's time with his family?

Chapter 4: One Year to Record

And now, my son Methuselah, all these things I am recounting to thee and writing down for thee! and I have revealed to thee everything, and given thee books concerning all these: so preserve, my son Methuselah, the books from thy fathers hand, and see that thou deliver them to the generations of the world. I have given wisdom to thee and to thy children and thy children that shall be to thee, that they may give it to their children for generations, this wisdom that passeth their thought. And those who understand it shall not sleep but shall listen with the ear that they may learn this wisdom and it shall please those that eat thereof better than good food. Blessed are all the righteous, blessed are all those who walk in the way of righteousness and sin not as the sinners. Kingdom 4:1-4

So, as it was commonly done, the information that the father learned passed down to his children, so that they may live a righteous life. How he understood the world to work was passed from father to son, to grandchild.

In the reckoning of all their days in which the sun traverses the heaven, entering into and departing from the portals for thirty days with the heads of thousands of the order of the stars, together with the four which are intercalated which divide the four portions of the year, which lead them and enter with them four days. Kingdom 4:5

This is just a story to show how good God is with all His responsibilities.

Chapter 5: Visions

Two visions I saw before I took a wife, and the one was quite unlike the other. The first when I was learning to write: the second before I took thy mother I saw a terrible vision. Kingdom 5:2

And regarding them I prayed to the Lord. I had laid me down in the house of my grandfather Mahalaleel I saw in a vision how the heaven collapsed and was borne off and fell to the earth. And when it fell to the earth I saw how the earth was swallowed up in a great abyss, and mountains were suspended on mountains, and hills sank down on hills, and high trees were rent from their stems and hurled down and sunk in the abyss. And thereupon a word fell into my mouth and I lifted up to cry aloud, and said: "The earth is destroyed! And my grandfather Mahalaleel waked me as I lay near him, and said unto me: "Why dost thou cry so my son, and why dost thou make such lamentation?" And I recounted to him the whole vision which I had seen, and he said unto me: "A terrible thing hast thou seen, my son, and of grave moment is thy dream vision as to the secrets if all the sin of the earth: it must sink into the abyss and be destroyed with a great destruction. And now, my son, arise and make petition to the Lord of glory, since thou art a believer that a remnant may remain on the earth, and that He may not destroy the whole earth. My son, from heaven all this will come upon the earth, and upon the earth there will be great destruction." After that I arose and prayed and implored and besought, and wrote down my prayer for the generations of the world, and I will show everything to thee, my son Methuselah. Kingdom 5:3-9

And so we see here how Enoch has been with visions for most of his life. He witnessed the dimension of heaven crashing down to Earth, and claiming everything within its power, killing off flora and fauna. Sure it is easy to claim that this destroyed the Earth as they understood it, but to me, this is an explination of how Heaven and Earth reside within each other, sharing space and time but not reality.

Alternate realities is something of science fiction, but you will find a lot on how to switch realities at will. Alternate realities can share the same space by existing in different quantum states, operating at different vibrational frequencies. Quantum means the smallest, discrete, indivisible unit of any physical entity, such as energy, matter, or light. There is the area of study called quantum physics, or mechanics, which is the fundamental theory in physics that describes the behaviour of nature at the smallest scales - atoms and subatomic particles. Now if we live at one frequency, it is nearly impossible to pass our matter through what we call the veil, the bridge between different realities. We know if things move faster they become hotter, so then why do rooms get cold if there is a ghost or spirit? They must vibrate at a frequency we would see as cold, and must vibe faster to interact with the material world they are trying to access. We know that some monks can change their thermal regulation at will during meditation, so having ghosts use the same mechanics means that we get cold spots and cold rooms.

Now I believe that the act to access different realities requires teleportation, and that is something that physics hasn't discovered yet.

note: I am enjoying these small breaks of scripture and adding in science.

Then Enoch had a vision of bulls and cows, and then elephants, camels and asses. To him, these animals all came from one great black bull. Is there any truth to this? Camels and cows are related, but elephants and donkeys are not. So this is an attempt to group together different animals, with magical beginnings. Then it goes on to say how wolves chase sheep, and some were divinely smited. Then there was a prince of sheep, a ram that might have become God. Then they introduce the sheep to different shepherds. This entire chapter is leading me to believe that sheep are meant to be fed to the predators of the land, and that makes me question why so many people want to identify as sheep. I guess it is one way to feel comfort, but in another light it is about shuffling off personal responsibilities. Sheep in a herd will follow one off a cliff, they need outside maintenance for their coat, and must be vaccinated so that they do not succumb to the diseases of the outside world. How do you think God vaccinates his flock?

And the Lord called those men the seven first white ones, and commanded that they should bring before Him, beginning with the first star which led the way, all the stars whose privy members were like those of horses, and they brought them all before Him. Kingdom 5:131

Then He goes on to judge the shepherds and the blind sheep, not many surviving.

And I saw till they laid down that sword, which had been given to the sheep, and they brought it back into the house, and it was sealed before the presence of the Lord, and all the sheep were invited into that house, but it held them not. And the eyes of them all were opened, and they saw the good, and there was not one among them that did not see. And I saw that that house was large and broad and very full Kingdom 5:144-146

Is this some allegory for the different sects of Christianity? There are sheep and cattle and asses and camels. They all live under the watchful eye of a different shepherd who watches over them and protects them from predators. Not everyone is a sheep in the eyes of the Lord, some have endurance and stamina like a camel, others have mass and sway and kindness like a herd of elephants, others are diminished and herd minded, and others who protect the sheep herd, while being under the care of their shepherd. Are you a donkey in a sheep pen, sent to live there to protect the sheep but also have an easy life?

There was mention of great destruction that befell those who did not listen to the Lord on the raising of the sheep. In the end a sword was given to the sheep so that they may defend themselves against the predators that sought after them. So maybe the Book of Visions is about how God will treat those who do not walk His path. To those who are not well cared for He gives us weaponry to defend ourselves with, and those who do harm will be destroyed. It is a nice sentiment, but I have yet to see someone be smited in this day and age. Some people are suffering, and cannot wait till the end of their natural life.

୨୧・・・・୨୧・・・・୨୧・・・・୨୧・・・・୨୧・・・・୨୧・・・・

If I followed God, which animal would I be in his care? Would I be a house cat protecting the home from mice and rats and bugs and birds? Would I be a donkey able to work multiple types of jobs? I wouldn't be a sheep because those are far too neurotypical for me, the capacity to blend in with others is not a skill that I have. Would I be a llama or alpaca, capable of protecting the sheep, but with my own wool to be harvested? I guess pagans are more like wild birds, in this scenario, unable to lay with the Lord in pasture or home, who have their own flocks that they are loyal to, but do not need the guidance of a shepherd. Some are caught and held in a cage, where they illuminate a room with their song, but they belong outside of the confines of a home.

The Calendar

Now I glazed over the part where Uriel handed Enoch a calendar, which only had 364 days a year, and it would have needed a week every seventh year to maintain the cycles of the seasons. That would be during what they call a Sabbatical year. Instead of a Sabbatical year they added an extra day to every 4 years.

Now the thing is, here in North America we are two Christian countries, with Mexico being Catholic. Our holiday lines up with whatever religion is in power, and we are given days of rest according to this Christian calendar.

Lord of Lies

Now I have a bone to pick with the title of Lord of Lies, for Jesus was not born in the winter, they stole the celebration time of the equinox to make it line up with Pagan belief system. Why is Lucifer called the Father of Lies, when he has been honest with his teachings? I guess I am more compassionate to Lucifer since it was a strife between him and his brother Mesiah, not him and God. There are enough stories that do not fit well with the campaign of God is all that is good and kind rhetoric. I worry that if I read the Bible I will start developing a personality profile of God.

Another thing to touch on is the change of colour that Jesus underwent to claim Europe. He sent visions to Joseph Smith, of the Mormon persuasion, and Bridget of Sweden that he was white. I cannot argue with visions, so he was born brown, but after his death, he chose to come to people as a white guy. That means that there is something there to back the Manifest Destiny, that he looks like me, strawberry blond with blue eyes. His first choice was to look like everyone else in the Middle East, but as words travelled North, he took on the look of the others he tried to change. He cannot stick to one race, and it looks like he lied about what he looks like. This makes me uncomfortable, because of how many pagan holidays they took over, from the winter equinox to the spring equinox. They did not touch on the solstice, so whoever wrote these stories of Jesus being born in winter and died and was renewed in spring stole these dates, and made them their own.

Whenever I see a white Jesus, I am uncomfortable, because he changed colours throughout his journeys, to fit in with whatever group was in power at the time. This just seems manipulative. The bible was not written by God, but by 40 different people who all retained social privileges due to their proximity to authority. Sure some could have been taken over via possession of the Heavenly Lord, but all 40 people involved in the Bible did not have the same connection, so a lot of stories are fan theories of how God would act. And Jesus, being a party-bro socialite because of his proximity to God, is not the kind of guy I would want leading any group project because people to him are collateral damage. Collateral damage is the unintentional, incidental death, injury, or destruction inflicted on civilians, property, or by bystanders during a planned action, most commonly military operations. But then again, I have not read the Bible as I have read The Book of Genesis, the Satanic Bible, and now the Book of Enoch.

The Bible

The Bible will take 70-80 hours to read through and through, because it contains 66 to 81 books, containing 1 189 chapters. The King James version has more words than the entire Harry Potter series combined. It seems like it is something worth reading, but is definitely intimidating. Especially if the stories are boring, I will skip them. The Old Testament takes about 18 hours to read, and The New Testament is significantly shorter. So I would have to start with the Old Testament first, and work my way to the New Testament.
