Hi Everyone,
Last night as I started reading The Book Of Jubilees, also called The Little Genesis, I saw a comparison to the Book Of Enoch and wanted to share it with you. In The Book Of Exodus in the Western Bible it mentions Moses being on Mount Sinai for 40 days and 40 nights. I had remembered reading and hearing that but wasn't quite sure, so I looked it up. Exodus 24:18 and 34:28 each mention this. The first time to get The Ten Commandments and the second time to the replacement copy.
In The Book Of Jubilees it says in Chapter 1 that God spake to Moses saying "Come up to Me on the mount and I will give you two tables of stone of the law and of the commandments that I have written, that thou mayest teach them?" vs 1. Both book say Moses was on the mountain in a cloud for 6 days. The western Bible says smoke. Both also say the glory of the Lord appeared like a flaming fire. It goes on to talk about the promises to the people of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and the punishments for disobeying the commandments, festivals and sabbaths. The punishments will be that they will be handed over to their enemies. He also says after that happens they will turn to Me with all their heart and I will build my sanctuary in their midst and I will dwell with them. {paraphrased 10 verses to make the point that shows God will honor His promise}
Towards the end of Chapter 1 God tells the angel of presence to Write for Moses from the beginning of creation til my sanctuary has been built among them for all eternity. I'm not sure what that time frame is, but it makes me think of The Ancient Map Of Heaven video on the Bible Hidden Truths channel on YouTube that talks about angels recording everything that happens on earth in The Akashic Record.
Beginning in chapter 2 this angel spoke to Moses and told him to write the complete history of creation, how in 6 days the Lord God finished all His works and all that He created and kept the Sabbathon the seventh day. On the first day He created the heavens which are above and the earth and the waters and all the spirits which serve Him-the angels of presence, the angels of sanctification, the angels of the spirit of fire, the angels of the spirit of the winds, the angels of the spirit of the clouds, of darkness, and of snow, and of hail, and of frost, and the angels of the voices, and of the thunder and lightning, and of cold and heat, and of winter, spring, summer and autumn, and of ALL THE SPIRITS OF HIS CREATURES WHICH ARE IN THE HEAVENS AND ON THE EARTH. That last line made me have to stop for a moment. It made me think of the verse in Jeremiah 1:5 where it says "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart." Chapter 2 continues on in verse to say, He created the abysses, and the darkness, eventide and night, and the light dawn and day, which He hath prepared in the knowledge of His heart.
This section about the angels stuck out to me because that's the part on the Book Of Enoch that's similar. In the Book Of Enoch, although it doesn't mention angels created for each specific season or type of natural occurrence, but it does mention 12 portals through which the winds blow and 4 angels Michael, Raphael, Gabriel and Uriel are associated with the 4 directions.
I had to stop after I read this. I knew my brain would be distracted with this, and I wouldn't be comprehending anymore if I tried to keep going. So, if you'll stay tuned, I'll keep reading and bring more in a couple a few days. This is very intriguing to me, I hope it is for you as well.
As always, stay tuned and keep searching,
Paul
