Enoch was the son of Jared (Genesis

5:19–21), the father of Methuselah, and

the great-grandfather of Noah. The Bible
says that Enoch lived 365 years before he
was taken by God. The text reads that
Enoch "walked with God: and he was no
more; for God took him" (Gen 5:21–24).
Authorship

The Book of Enoch is an apocraphal and

pseudopigraphal collection of second
century Jewish texts attributed to Enoch, the
great-grandfather of Noah (Genesis 5:18), which
describes a group of fallen angels(called
"the Grigori" -"Watchers") mating with humans to
produce a race of giants (called "the Nephilim")
(cf. Genesis 6:1-2).
Enoch, the seventh patriarch in the
book of Genesis, was the subject of
abundant apocryphal literature,
especially during the Hellenistic period
of Judaism (3rd century BC to 3rd
century AD).
 Background
This book, from which, curiously enough,
St Jude quotes as if it were history, shews
how richly mythical the history of the
mysterious antediluvian Enoch had
become. It was probably written
originally in Aramaic, by a native of
Palestine, in the 2d c. B.C.. The precise
date is not known.
 Apocryphal works are attributed to
Enoch:

Book of Enoch, or simply the Book of Enoch, an

apocryphal book in the Ethiopic Bible that is usually
dated between the third century BC and the first
century AD.

Book of Enoch, an apocryphal book in the Old

Slavonic Bible usually dated to the first century AD.
3rd Book of Enoch, a Rabbinic text in Hebrew usually
dated to the fifth century AD.

world history from creation to the coming of
God’s Kingdom

 Summary
The Book of Enoch contains many dreams and visions.
Enoch prophesied the end of the age in which he lived,
which came with Noah's Flood, and also the end of the
next age and everything in between. He also spoke
about fallen angels, Hell, the coming of the Elect One
(Christ), the Bible, and the Millennial Age. The very first
line in the book refers to the time of Great Tribulation
which is also mentioned in Daniel, Matthew and the
book of Revelation.
