The Second Book of Enoch | Full Audiobook With Text | Read By Christopher Glyn
The Second Book of Enoch, also known as the Slavonic Enoch or 2 Enoch, is an ancient religious text that is part of the Jewish apocalyptic tradition. It is considered pseudepigraphical, attributed to the biblical figure Enoch, who was said to have been taken up to heaven and shown divine revelations. The book exists in various versions, with the most well-known being the Slavonic manuscript preserved in the Russian National Library.
The Second Book of Enoch is comprised of several sections that offer a glimpse into cosmology, theology, and eschatology. While the book does not hold canonical status in most branches of Judaism or Christianity, it has had a significant impact on the development of apocalyptic and mystical thought in these traditions.
The book begins with Enoch’s ascent through the heavens, guided by angels, where he encounters heavenly mysteries and gains insights into the workings of the universe. Much of the text involves descriptions of heavenly realms and the hierarchy of angels, as well as Enoch’s conversations with these angelic beings. The book also delves into themes such as the creation of the world, the nature of the cosmos, and the destinies of both the righteous and the wicked.
The book’s apocalyptic elements come to the fore in its discussions of the final judgment, the fate of the fallen angels, and the eventual establishment of God’s kingdom on Earth. Through vivid imagery and symbolic language, the book conveys a vision of the ultimate triumph of good over evil, with God’s justice prevailing in the end.
Overall, the Second Book of Enoch offers readers a unique insight into the imaginative and theological landscape of late antiquity. Its blend of celestial journeys, angelic hierarchies, and eschatological themes has made it a fascinating subject of study for scholars interested in ancient religious literature, mysticism, and apocalyptic thought.
