It’s too cool.\nThe Book of Enoch- which is a controversial book- which is not part of the biblical canon- which has a lot of legitimate questions about its authenticity- which was written before Jesus was born- predicts the timing of when the Messiah would come into this world.\nI truly did not realize that a prophecy which was this specific was supposedly told to Enoch all the way back before the flood of Noah. \nAnd we can confirm it by the Bible itself, because Luke 3- which you may have read this month if you’ve been looking at the Christmas story this time of year- Luke 3 gives us a genealogy of all the generations from Adam to Jesus.\nGenealogies are not usually the most interesting thing to read, but the Bible has a lot of them. And I find that to be weird, and I’d like to explore whether what the Book of Enoch predicts about the future correlates with what’s in the Bible. \nTurn to Luke 3, and let’s get weird.\n\nSign up for the weekly newsletter!
