 i have learned much recently about the history behind all of that book and much of it is very much manipulated

like, why is the Book of Enoch not part of the set?

the entire world of christianity didn't know about it except for the Ethiopian Orthodox Church until the 19th century

there was several copies of it in the dead sea scrolls

Enoch is the father of Methuselah and features and is named in the old testament, he predates the Flood even though modern "scholars" claim there is no evidence his book existed before 2500 years ago, it clearly speaks of events that are amply verifiable in the forever changed geography of europe, north africa and north america, in enoch you can find descriptions of places that line up with India, Indonesia, North America and Europe and there's no way the "ancient" stone age people could have known anything about so much of those places, one maybe, not the whole set

the movie Life of Brian hints at something too - there was a jewish revolutionary who started an insurrection against the roman occupation

most of what Jesus supposedly said is from his book

what i will say though, is that those angels are coming back to clean up the mess left behind by their fallen brothers, as the time is ripe

and because they need us as much as we need them

read Enoch and you'll understand what i'm saying

i don't know how far to take the stuff about "eternal life" but we were promised that we would shed no more tears

right now it is enough to drown in
