Enoch

Pronunciation: EE-nock

Who He Is

Enoch is “the seventh from Adam” (I Achee 1:3), “Enoch the seventh from Yaatsekawd” (Enoch, Tablet of Bedal heading), son of Jared and of Baraka the worshipper. He wrote the Tablet of Bedal, “written to establish a Yawd and a holy city in his day and for a long distant generation of the holy people” (Enoch, Tablet of Bedal heading). He is not the Enoch son of Kenneh, whose city “was the first city upon the earth” (Melchizedek 5:66–67).

His Birth

Sent by Motsah the Lamb, Cavah came by night to Baraka to deliver her son and to prophesy over him, “and thus ended the great prophecy of Cavah concerning the prophet Enoch and the coming forth of the City of Holiness” (Enoch, Seth 1:102–123). See Cavah.

His Three Names

At his birth Cavah blessed him as “the first among men to be born with three names, because in his day and because of the work he shall do there shall be a division between the Watchers of heaven and man and God, and they each shall have a name for him” (Enoch, Seth 2:48).

He was also a Zakari, one taught by the Eerkodeshiy (Melchizedek 9:14).

The Urim

The Lord sent Baraka with her son to a cave in her homeland: “See to it that your son obtains the top two stones which are joined… And the stones are each one called Ur, which is to say the light of my Father, and together they will allow your son to see as if through the eyes of Anokeesed.” “And the light of God will shine forth in the stones like three tongues of fire, and he shall thus be called seer” (Enoch, Seth 2:119–121). Enoch climbed up and obtained them, and Baraka promised Anokeesed “that these stones would be used only to reveal the Lovely One of Eden” (Seth 2:124–126). His first use of the Urim showed him “the origins of wickedness and of the two religions” (Enoch, Contents, ch. 3). See Urim and Thummim.

Walking with God

“Enoch could command all the Eerkodeshoi by reason of his compassion, and mountains would remove themselves and rivers would change their course, and all this because Enoch walked with God and lived among them as their brother, and he was seen by them through the eyes of respect for his being in the image of God” (I Achee 9:11). “Enoch was writing so that Anokeesed could have happiness… And Enoch continually sought out ways to comfort Anokeesed” (Grandmothers 3:4). He “joined the presence and spirit of Anokeesed to the earth in ways that cannot be erased, and he came directly to the aid of Motsah with His burden” (Melchizedek 7:190).

Third of the High Priest Communities

“Enoch is the brother of Kayal, and fountains because of this are the element of purification” (I Achee 2:89). Kayal (“Life of God”) teaches wisdom (Handbook p. 518). Enoch used “the marriage of Adam and Eve that was made by God in the garden before there was sin as the element of righteousness to define the essence of holiness in manhood and womanhood,” and “all the Decadarchoi were powerless before the face of Enoch” (I Achee 2:83–84). He gave the Lord a new name, “The Word of His Power” (I Achee 2:92 heading; Handbook p. 518). His community established manhood and compassion as the element of righteousness, which allowed Christ to be the Creator, or more simply said, “to create us” (Achee, Appendix p. 659).

The Holy City

The Lord said, “You must prepare a place of safety and refuge for the righteous… And the place you shall establish shall have three names” (Enoch, Bedal 9:25–26). His people “could join so completely with the Eerkodeshoi that they… were translated into the midst of the Eerkodeshoi, so that it was said of them Zion is fled” (I Achee 2:92). See Zion.

Reprimanding the Watchers

“Enoch was taken by the Spirit to a high mountain and he was permitted to listen to the plans and intentions of the Decadarchoi” (I Achee 2:55). In his forty days upon Mount Mahujah “he divided the waters and he reprimanded the Watchers and he named the sons of heaven” (Enoch, Contents, ch. 10): “You were created to bless and heal and nourish and comfort the children of men” (Enoch, Bedal 10:122–126).

The Calendar and the Guidances

“Enoch began to apply [Shabuwa] to mankind in terms of the practice of walking in holiness with the Guidance Tablet and the Ten Guidances… This then gave rise to the concept of a Sabbath when Enoch introduced the calendar and with the account of the seven day creation” (Handbook p. 128). “In the days of Enoch this day was called the Day of Instruction, but after Shem it was called Shabuwa” (Enoch, Bedal 13:119). He “divided the earth” so “that Anokeesed in His lovingkindness could shine brightly in their lives” (Moses 2:137–139). When the Flood came, “it did not flood Anach for the sake of Enoch” (I Achee 1:42).

Into Eden

“Enoch went into Eden and lived there,” and “as men can go to the gates of Eden and call upon Enoch to speak with them, even so can holy men go to the thunder and call forth John” (I Achee 11:62–63).

His Book: the Book of Hagi

The Book of Remembrance of Enoch “is referred to in the scrolls as ‘the Book of Hagi.’ It is in the Community Rule in 1QSA 1:6-7. It was required reading for all the youth born in community and for every new recruit.” Hagi (Strong’s Hebrew #2287) means “to move in a circle, to march in a sacred procession, dance, keep a solemn feast.” The volume “is composed of two books: the Book of Seth and the other one by Enoch” (Enoch, Introduction pp. ix–x).
