The Book of Enoch: The Prophet - Richard Laurence

Descriere The Book of Enoch: The Prophet - Richard Laurence

\n \nThe Book of Enoch\n \nThe Prophet\n \nTRANSLATED FROM\n \nAN ETHIOPIC MS. IN THE BODLEIAN LIBRARY\n \nBY THE LATE\n \nRichard Laurence\n \nIN the Authorized Version of the Epistle of Jude, we read the following words: --\n \nEnoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands, of his saints, to execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.\n \nModern research sees in the Epistle of Jude a work of the second century: but as orthodox theologians accept its contents as the inspired utterance of an Apostle, let us diligently search the Hebrew Scriptures for this important forecast of the second Advent of the Messiah. In vain we turn over the pages of the sacred Canon; not even in the Apocrypha can we trace one line from the pen of the marvellous being to whom uninterrupted immortality is assigned by apostolic interpretation of Genesis v. 24. Were the prophecies of Enoch, therefore, accepted as a Divine revelation on that momentous day when Jesus explained the Scriptures, after his resurrection, to Jude and his apostolic brethren; and have we moderns betrayed our trust by excluding an inspired record from the Bible?\n
