📜 A Book So Dangerous, They Took It Out of the Bible

It’s one of the most controversial religious texts ever discovered — and yet most Christians have never read it.

The Book of Enoch, also known as 1 Enoch, was once widely known in ancient Jewish and early Christian circles. It dives deep into fallen angels, giants, forbidden knowledge, prophecies, and even otherworldly realms — all long before Revelation was ever written.

So why isn’t it in your Bible?

Why was it banned, buried, and forgotten — only to reemerge from a dusty cave in the 20th century?

Because it tells a story that changes everything.

A story of celestial rebellion, hybrid beings, and a pre-Flood world teetering on the edge of divine annihilation.

This is the Book of Enoch — and it might just be the key to unlocking humanity’s forbidden past.

đź§™ Who Was Enoch?

Before diving into the text itself, let’s talk about the man behind the name.

Enoch is a figure mentioned briefly in the Bible — in Genesis 5:24:

“Enoch walked with God; then he was no more, because God took him.”

Unlike anyone else in his lineage, Enoch didn’t die. He was taken.

What does that mean?

According to the Book of Enoch, it means he was shown the secrets of the heavens — and told to write everything down.

The result? A wild, apocalyptic text that reads like Revelation meets Ancient Aliens.

👼 The Watchers: Angels Who Broke the Rules

One of the most famous — and explosive — portions of the Book of Enoch is The Book of the Watchers.

Here’s the core of the story:

A group of 200 angels — called Watchers — were assigned to watch over Earth

They became obsessed with human women

They descended to Earth, took wives, and had children

These children were the Nephilim — giants with immense strength and unquenchable appetites

The Nephilim began devouring humanity, animals, and even turning on each other

This wasn’t just sin. It was cosmic rebellion.

And the consequences were cataclysmic.

🌊 The Flood Wasn’t Just About Humans

Most people think the Great Flood was about punishing humans for wickedness.

But the Book of Enoch says otherwise:

The flood was a divine purge — to wipe the Earth clean of Nephilim blood and seal away the Watchers who corrupted creation.

“You see what Azazel has done… how he has taught all unrighteousness on Earth and revealed the eternal secrets…”

— Book of Enoch, Chapter 8

God commands the archangel Raphael to imprison the leader of the Watchers — Azazel — in a deep desert pit until judgment day.

This figure later shows up in Christian demonology — some say Azazel became Satan himself.

📚 Why Was the Book of Enoch Banned?

Here’s the twist:

The Book of Enoch wasn’t always forbidden.

In fact:

It was quoted in the Book of Jude in the New Testament:

“Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His holy ones…” — Jude 1:14

Early Church Fathers like Tertullian and Justin Martyr referred to it

It was included in the Bible canon of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, which still honors it today

So why was it banned?

Scholars believe it was:

Too mystical, too weird for mainstream doctrine

Incompatible with later theological structures

Dangerous because it linked human corruption directly to angels, not just mankind

Possibly suppressed to hide pre-Flood technology or knowledge

In short? It said too much.

🧬 Forbidden Knowledge: Ancient Tech and Sorcery?

The Book of Enoch claims the fallen angels didn’t just father giants — they taught humans secrets we weren’t meant to have.

“Azazel taught men to make swords, knives, shields, and breastplates… he showed them metals of the earth and how to work them…”

— Book of Enoch, Chapter 8

Other Watchers taught:

Enchantments and root-cutting (witchcraft)

Astrology and celestial motion

The signs of the moon and sun

Cosmetics and seduction techniques

It wasn’t just about lust.

The angels were giving humanity a crash course in divine knowledge — and paying the price for it.

Could this be the origin of occult practices, alchemy, and even early science?

Some researchers say yes — and suggest the Nephilim passed on even more advanced tech before they were destroyed.

🕊️ Prophecies and Visions: Time Travel Through Heaven?

Later sections of the Book of Enoch read like something out of Interstellar.

Enoch is taken through the seven heavens, witnessing:

The Tree of Life

The Throne of God surrounded by angels of fire

The storehouses of the winds, snow, and stars

A vision of Final Judgment, where the Nephilim and fallen angels are destroyed

The promise of a future Messiah figure — long before Jesus was born

These prophecies were so accurate, some scholars believe parts of the Book of Enoch were deliberately hidden to avoid conflict with Christian doctrine.

Others think it was simply too revealing for the powers that be.

đź§  Was Enoch an Ancient Astronaut Encounter?

Here’s where things get even more speculative — and fascinating.

Many modern theorists believe the Book of Enoch may describe not just angels, but extraterrestrial encounters.

Think about it:

Beings from the sky descending to Earth

Secret knowledge passed to primitive humans

Genetic experimentation

Giant hybrid offspring

Visions of stars, dimensions, and time itself

Some claim the Watchers were not angels, but interdimensional beings or aliens, misunderstood by ancient people.

Even Enoch’s ascent into heaven sounds eerily like a UFO abduction experience.

Could the Book of Enoch be the first record of alien contact?

🔍 Modern Rediscovery: The Dead Sea Scrolls

For centuries, the Book of Enoch was lost — surviving only in Ethiopian manuscripts.

But everything changed in 1947, when the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered in Qumran. Among the thousands of fragments?

Multiple scrolls of the Book of Enoch.

This proved:

It was widely read by Jews before the time of Christ

It influenced New Testament writers

It was not a fringe document — it was central to early Biblical understanding

And yet, it remains missing from most modern Bibles.

🎯 Final Thoughts: A Book Too Powerful to Publish?

The Book of Enoch isn’t just an ancient curiosity.

It’s a revolutionary reframe of the human story.

It explains the origin of evil

It connects heaven and Earth in ways modern religion avoids

It describes beings and events that line up with myth, archaeology, and even alien theory

So why was it banned?

Because it doesn’t ask questions.

It answers them.

📣 Call to Action

Still think Enoch’s visions were divine?

Or was he describing ancient tech, fallen angels, or alien visitors?
