Enoch wrote "...not for this generation, but for a remote one which is for to come." --I Enoch 2d
His prophecy is validated by being quoted by the Holy Spirit in Jude 14-16.
The validity of there being prophet of G-d who went by the name Enoch is not difficult to prove. Various things he recorded were quoted in the Scriptures, and his name was both remembered and honored by those who came after him. His exemplary walk with the Lord resulted in him being taken up without seeing death before the great flood of Noah's time.
Genesis 5:24 And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.
Authenticity of writings attributed to Enoch is a difficult issue which must be reconsidered in these last days due to their importance for a Last Days scenario. The one section of Enoch which we have (Jude 14-16) in the canon of Scripture clearly shows that Enoch's message was a prophetic one for the Last Days, not for Noah's time.
With this in mind, we must deal with the fact that what Enoch was divinely inspired to say there is absolute truth, while other writings attributed to him bear some more serious scrutiny. The Holy Spirit is the best judge of this, and He will quickly cast aside man's word--which is a large part of what archaeologists are calling the I Enoch manuscripts. This author rejects the idea that this combination of writings from many ages and written by many people, can all be called Scripture, must less attributed to Enoch the prophet. However, contained within those manuscripts are some of the fragments which he believes to be authenticated by the Holy Spirit. We invite you to see for yourself how wonderfully accurate the writings--from about 4000 years ago--are for the final days before the the Judgment of G-d upon earth and the Millenium of peace which Yeshua said He would bring.
