"Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His set-apart ones to execute judgment..." — Jude 1:14–15This prophetic citation from the Book of Enoch is found in the New Testament. But what is the Book of Enoch, and why did the early believers—including Yeshua's own brother—consider it so authoritative?This book is not another edition of the Book of Enoch.It is a full-scale verse-by-verse commentary—explaining the meaning, historical context, and theological implications of every passage in the ancient Book of Enoch (1 Enoch).James Scott Trimm, a lifelong scholar of Hebrew, Aramaic, and ancient Jewish texts, brings over forty years of research into this in-depth commentary. Drawing from the Aramaic fragments of 1 Enoch found among the Dead Sea Scrolls, the surviving Greek manuscripts, and traditional Ethiopic texts, Trimm reveals how this once-lost text offers profound insights into Jewish apocalypticism, messianic prophecy, and the final judgment foretold by the Prophets.Features of this Landmark Commentary:• A line-by-line exposition of all 108 chapters of 1 Enoch• Rooted in the Aramaic fragments from Qumran, and Greek manuscript readings where extant• Explains the origin of key New Testament ideas like the “Son of Man,” resurrection, and final judgment• Clarifies the theological context behind Jude’s direct quotation of 1 Enoch (Jude 1:14–15)• Engages the Book of the Watchers, the Book of Parables, the Astronomical Book, the Dream Visions, and the Epistle of Enoch, plus the Noahic Appendix• Extensive cross-references to Scripture, Jewish apocrypha, and rabbinic literature• Introductory essays to each section highlighting Enoch’s role in Second Temple Judaism and Nazarene messianismA Work of Serious Scholarship and Deep FaithThis commentary does not treat Enoch as mere ancient mythology.
