The Books of Enoch: The Angels, The Watchers and The Nephilim: (With Extensive Commentary on the Three Books of Enoch, the Fallen Angels, the Calendar of Enoch, and Daniel's Prophecy) Paperback – October 1, 2011

What a great read. It’s so enlightening and also makes references to scripture in The Bible.

This is a book of revelations. It’ll make you look at Everything differently and help you understand why things are the way they are in the world.

Thank You Joseph For Such An Awesome Interesting Life Changing Book - I'm Personally Mad At Our Modern Bible Translators For Leaving Out These Key Books ,Enoch, The Ancient Book Of Jasher & The Book Of Jublees & 1'rst & 2'cnd Adam & Eve Should DEFINITELY Have Been Included In The Original Canon - What Were These Idiots Thinking ? To Deprive Us Bible Scholars Of These Books Of God's Ancient Wisdom - As A Born Again Christian For 41 Years ,I've Studied The Bible Countless Times - Lived With The Rev. David Wilkerson On His 600 Acre Ranch In Lindale, Texas & Graduated From His Training School ,Twin Oaks Leadership Academy,With High Academic Averages - With Straight 100's In Bible Memorization - I Feel That We Got Ripped Off In These Modern Times , By These Thoughtless Writers .I'm Talking About The New International Versions,The Old & New King James, American Standards ,Living Bible Translations Etc. All Missed These Important Books Why? Because They Don't Fit Into Their Realm Of Understanding ? They Can't Figure Out God's Time Tables On Prophecy Events ,Or Maybe Their Too Real & Convict Them Of Their Accountability & Expose Their Corruption - Thanks To Their Lack Of Understanding , We Have Huge Gaps In The Genesis Story - We Only Get Fragments & Are Left To Try & Figure Out What Happened In Between The Gaps - With Less Information, After Adam & Eve - Very Little Info Is Given - Which Has Led To Much Frustration - What Happened During That Pre Flood World ? Who Are The Nephilim, The Giants & The Elho ? As Joseph Has Pointed Out In The Intro Of His Book - That Jesus ,The Disciples,Paul, David ,Solomon All Quoted From Enoch - So Why Was This Knowledge Held From The Modern Church ? The Logical Conclusion Is That Satan Somehow Prevented It - I Have Thoroughly Enjoyed Reading Enoch - Since February, I've Read It 3 Times & During The First Week ,I Had Constant Tears Of Joy - At God's Revelations Through Enoch - He Was A Scribe & Wrote In Amazing Detail ,About The The World Before The Flood , 10 Layers Of Heaven & About The Frightening Details Of Hell [Which May Have Been Too Much For The Luke Warm Translators], As To The Reality Of What Happens To Us When We Die - Also Amazing Detail About Angels & The Myriads Of Ranks & Names Of The Angels ,Such As Michael, Gabriele, Rafael ,Uriel, Zotiel Too Name A Few - Details About God's Throne - Very Fascinating Indeed ! I Won't Go Into Too Much Detail About Describing The Book ,Because Joseph Has Done An Excellent Job Of Laying It Out To Us - So We Can Read & Enjoy The Deeper Wisdom Of God - I Have Purchased 15 Copies, To Pass Out To Various Family Members & Friends Who I Know Also Have Enjoyed Reading This Book - Thank You Joseph For All Your Books ,I've Enjoyed The Book Of Adam & Eve As Well - Another Mind Blower - Again Why Was This Left Out Of The Bible ? We Needed To Know What Adam & Eve Went Through After They Were Thrown Out Of The Garden - Particularly How They Repented & Spent The Rest Of Their Lives Battling Satan & Lived A Holy, Chaste Life Afterwards - Thank You Joseph - Great Stuff !!!

I can say that I am pleasantly surprised at how Lumpkin does interject passages from the approved biblical canon and has a preface section for the clueless like myself. When Lumpkin adds these passages I believe it comes from the KJV because that is not copywritten. These insertions as well as commentary allows an individual to use one's own discernment related to the obvious influential connections of this source material upon the canon. I have found that seeing relatable passages side by side, rather than solitary footnotes, adds clarity to the canon.Fact from the book: The Ethiopian Christian Church incorporates the chapters of Enoch into its version of the canon.Jesus and the Kings of old referred to the Book Of Enoch.Minus one star only for the reality that we do not have copies of the drawings, diagrams or the lists mentioned in the passages. But this is not the fault of the author or the publisher.

Good reading

Where do I begin with this review? So many thought are swirling around in my head after reading this book. I suppose my first thought is outrage that there was a concerted effort to ban certain books to prevent the Common People from having knowledge that was deemed by The Powers That Be to be counterintuitive to the Officially Sanctioned Knowledge. The Common People were thought to be too stupid to interpret certain books, too gullible to withstand the wayward teachings therein, and too uneducated to apply reasoned analysis. Well, there’s one thing the Common People have always had in abundance, and that’s Common Sense.I believe that thought censorship is wrong. Censorship of information is therefore wrong as well, with the noted exception of parents who must protect children from the harsh and perverted realities of life and ensure the accuracy and suitability of information. Parental censorship of books and other media that children are exposed to is not only acceptable—it is a parent’s moral duty to perform.The Council of Laodicea in 364 A.D. resulted in the suppression of forty-one texts and letters which the early Church Fathers decided should not be included in the Bible or read out in church. Among these was the Book of Enoch; yet Jewish historians had valued the Book of Enoch for thousands of years as Midrash literature—i.e., “extra-legal material of anecdotal or allegorical nature, designed either to clarify historical material, or to teach a moral point.” (Lumpkin)There is a plethora of information and stories in this book concerning the creation of everything, the structure of Heaven, the history of the human race, the introduction of evil, the natures and mandates of various classes of angels, and the REAL reason for the Flood of Noah, among others.For those uninitiated in the tales and rumors concerning Fallen Angels, this book details the reasons why certain of the angels abandoned their eternal life in Heaven and came to live amongst the humans, and describes the grotesque nature of their hybrid offspring—giants, elves, and monsters. These are the creatures that inspired Greek, Roman, Viking, Celtic, Saxon, Assyrian, Babylonian, Hebrew, Egyptian, Native American, Hindu, African, Japanese, Chinese, Aztec, and Mayan cultures to write about gods and goddesses, Titans, giants, cyclopses, Minotaurs, Grendels, Chimeras, Elves, dwarves, leprechauns, succubi, centaurs, hydras, dryads, gorgons, griffins, harpies, Cerberus, satyrs, sirens, sphinx, vampires, fauns, mermaids, kinnaras, echidnas, nure-onnas, ganeshas, karuras, narashimas, sobeks, thots, Valkyries, fenghuangs, fairies, amazimu, ogres, goblins…Fact or fantasy? As I always say, “There is no draconsfeura without a dragon,” and it is highly unlikely that every ancient culture around the world could share these myths in common unless we all had a shared origin and the same cultural experiences during our early life on Earth.This book by Joseph B. Lumpkin also includes fascinating information from the first and second Books of Adam and Eve, the Book of Giants, The War Scroll, the Book of Jasher, and the Book of Jubilees. It is interspersed throughout with helpful notes and explanations by the author, and while I do not agree with some his analyses/opinions, yet I highly recommend this resource to inquiring minds, and to Christians who want to know more about their religion.

Very interesting

A great read.
