The Book of Enoch: The Origin of the Nephilim Explained

Introducing the Book of Enoch—a collection of ancient Jewish writings often described as “banned from the Bible.” This mysterious text reveals the lost history of the Nephilim, the origins of the fallen angels known as the Watchers, and prophecies about a final apocalyptic judgment. Perhaps you’ve heard of Enoch before—but what does this book actually say? Why was it excluded from the biblical canon, and how did it become one of the most influential works of Second Temple apocalyptic literature? In this video, I’ll walk you through the contents of the 1 Enoch text, explore its ancient Jewish and early Christian context, and uncover why the Book of Enoch remains one of the most misunderstood—and most debated—books outside the Hebrew Bible and New Testament.
