Was the Book of Enoch “Hidden”? Here’s the Timeline
from First Century Christianity · host First Century Christianity
Many people think the Book of Enoch contains suppressed, pre-flood “secret knowledge.” But historically, Enoch is Second Temple Jewish literature, commonly dated roughly 200 BC–100 AD—not something written before the flood or “carried through” ancient times.In this short, I explain the timeline, why we don’t have pre-flood literature, and how Enoch was transmitted through Aramaic/Greek traditions. If you’re studying Bible history, canon, and extra-biblical texts, this is essential context before treating Enoch as Scripture. Watch Part 1 (first short) for the simple starting point, then come back to this one. https://open.spotify.com/episode/0CPLiNhg55MbLDQL8fINk3?si=euMdQxmRQTuv2gqII4TmSQ
