| Sumario: | The Book of Enoch is an apocalyptic text that explores themes of angelic rebellion, divine punishment, and cosmic order. Attributed to Enoch, a biblical figure, it describes the origins of demons, giants, and the fate of fallen angels. The text discusses the role of angels as guardians of humanity and their subsequent fall due to transgressions, led by Samyaza and other leaders. It details the punishment meted out by archangels Michael, Uriel, Raphael, and Gabriel. Additionally, it prophesizes the Great Flood and explores the cycles of celestial bodies. The book criticizes earthly rulers and foretells the coming of a messianic figure. Although once valued by early Christians, it was excluded from the biblical canon. The text, written in Ge'ez and other languages, remains a significant historical and religious document, offering insights into early Jewish and Christian apocalyptic thought.
