DeepSummary
Tim Alberino discusses the significance and importance of the Book of Enoch, an ancient apocryphal text that predates the birth of Christ. He explains how the book contains detailed prophecies about Jesus Christ, more specific than those found in the Old Testament. The book provides valuable context for understanding various references and events in the Bible, including Jesus referring to himself as the 'Son of Man'.
Alberino highlights the reasons why the Book of Enoch was ultimately rejected from the Jewish and Christian canons, despite being widely accepted and quoted by early church fathers. He emphasizes the need to understand the esoteric and symbolic nature of the book's visions and dreams, rather than interpreting them literally.
Alberino and the hosts discuss the collaboration in creating their own version of the Book of Enoch, including original artwork, commentary, and an introduction.

Top Episodes Quotes
- “For in his name they are saved. When Jesus referred to himself as the son of man, the meaning was crystal clear in the minds of the Jews. The Pharisees and sadducees understood exactly who he was claiming to be precisely because they were well versed in the oracles of Enoch. Jesus was not merely declaring himself to be a son of man, but the son of man according to the scriptures.“ by Tim Alberino
- “Let that be a tease. If you're on the fence to get the Book of Enoch, you've got to read the parables. I'm telling you, it's going to add your understanding and appreciation of who Jesus is and who he was predicted to be from the dawn of mankind. It's going to enlighten and enliven your understanding of the Gospel of Christ.“ by Tim Alberino
- “So clearly, clearly the messianic content in the Book of Enoch is, in my mind, validating its authenticity, because the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. And if you have a manuscript which testifies of Christ according to the scriptures, specifically according to the revelation of Christ himself and of his disciples, then you know, if you're a Christian, that this is true, that the testimony of Enoch is true, at least as it pertains to the messianic content contained in the book of Parables.“ by Tim Alberino
