Enoch, Jubilees, Jasher: Banned from the Bible

De: Joseph B. Lumpkin

Narrado por: Dennis Logan

Three of the most popular and sought after apocryphal books are now presented in a single volume.

The Book of Enoch is quoted by Jude, cited by Peter, and read by the apostles, Enoch (1 Enoch) informs our ideas of angels and demons. The book describes the fall of a group of angels called the Watchers, who took the daughters of men as wives and fathered the Nephilim (Genesis 6: 1-2).

Enoch goes on to record amazing visions of heaven and the workings thereof. Enoch is an ancient Jewish religious work, traditionally ascribed to Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah. It is regarded as canonical by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church.

The Book of Jubilees, also known as The Little Genesis and The Apocalypse of Moses, opens with an extraordinary claim of authorship. It is attributed to the very hand of Moses; penned while he was on Mount Sinai, as an angel of God dictated to him regarding those events that transpired from the beginning of the world. The story is written from the viewpoint of the angel and takes place after the exodus of the children of Israel out of Egypt. The setting is atop Mount Sinai, where Moses was summoned by God. The text then unfolds as the angel reveals heaven's viewpoint of history. We are led through the creation of man, Adam's fall from grace, the union of fallen angels and earthly women, the birth of demonic offspring, the cleansing of the earth by flood, and the astonishing claim that man's very nature was somehow changed, bringing about a man with less sinful qualities than his antediluvian counterpart. The story goes on to fill in many details in Israel's history, ending at the point in time when the dictation began on the mount.

The Book of Jasher reveals a large quantity of additional information about the period between divine creation and the time of Joshua's leadership over Israel when the Israelites enter into the land of Canaan.

When they Truth is Told

There is indeed something to be said - when is the remaining truths going to come to light/when is my true history going to be melded into the text(s)? Yaounde' : Yudah ... Praise YAH

Nice listening experience

Superb reading and comprehensible accent. The narration is of neutral tone, pleasing pitch, and consistent mood.

Very informative

Was a very good read. surprised this was taken out of the Bible, it explained on a lot of unanswered questions. I increase the speed of the speech just a tad, but I have no complaints whatsoever, it was not read in a boring voice, and it kept my attention.

So worth listening to

Interesting and inspiring- The additional information on Joseph and his brothers had me in tears.

Great book from the dead sea scrolls.

Narration errors are either and thither but the retelling of this book from the dead seas scrolls (that is mysteriously absent from our modern day Bible) was more detailed than I would have guessed.

Many ancient cities kingdoms, kings, queens, Pharos, princesses, princes, prophets, warriors and the mighty men and women of God & the multiple names of some are mentioned. Maybe moreso than anywhere else.

Recommended to the curious.
