My bible study had a discussion about this a couple weeks back.
For guys who know their old testament/torah—about 300 AD the Jews in babylon cut the book of Enoch (and jubilee)out of the torah so as to emphasize that (G-d Oh G-d our G-d is one)There were just too many gods wandering around in these books.
This pruning back of the hebrew cannon happened about the same time as christians in rome were pruning back the arian heresy books of the new testament.
Today the Christian bible does not have the book of Enoch in it because it was removed by the Jews from their cannon.
The book of Enoch however is contained in the dead sea scrolls. Its referred to in the new testatment. But bible scholars today say it was written in just the centuries before Christ 100-500 BC. Or very roughly after the Jews returned from Babylon. It reads like a kind of science fiction.
However, the book of Enoch also has a strange resemblance to the ancient sumerian myths. The Jewish calendar begins about 6000 years ago. That coincides with the beginning of the sumerian civilization in very roughly 4000 bc.
This is significant because the jews—that is, abraham and his father— originally came from Ur a city in Sumer. and as Joshua said in Joshua 24:2 ‘Long ago your ancestors, including Terah the father of Abraham and Nahor, lived beyond the Euphrates River and worshiped other gods.”
Those other gods were the sumerian gods—and they look very much like extra terrestrials. In the book of enoch they look like extra terrestrials too.
You can say that the book of enoch is science fiction or science fantasy.
That genre of literature disappears for 2000 years. It doesn’t reappear until HG Wells in the 19th century reinvented it.
So we have had over a 100 years of an ever louder drumbeat of sci fi media devoted to human contact with extra terrestrials.
If we do get a great reveal from the US government that includes vehicles and verified sightings—then one of the effects of this will be to cause a great revisiting of the book of Enoch and the role of extra terrestrials in the foundings of civilization.
Some say Mary Shelley's Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus (1818) was the beginning of modern Sci-fi........
