Status Updates From The Books of Enoch: The Ang...

I finished the book. A lot to absorb in Book 3. I suggested to my husband that we read it together. Lots of opportunity for discussion and to gather each one's perspective on what is shared.

There's 427 pages in the Books of Enoch I'm reading so I'm not finished yet.

I'm find Book 3 a slow read. Contains great detail about angels and how they operate in the different levels of heaven. I'm not sure how much I'll retain but I'll finish Book 3 with greater knowledge than when I began.

Book 3 is harder for me to read as I can't pronounce the names gives to the numerous angels spoken throughout the chapters. Yet; I will continue until the end. I appreciate the comments given by Joseph Lumpkin. He gives clarity where needed which is beneficial to the reader.

Book 3 is referred as The Hebrew Book of Enoch by Rabbi Ishmael Ben Elisha so having a better understanding of the Hebrew language will be beneficial.

Joseph Lumpkin does an excellent job in providing notes to help the reader understand the text better. For example, in English "s" is used to denote a plural, while in Hebrew an "im" is used. Cherub is singular but many Cherubim.

I just read the introduction for 3 Enoch. This book is also referred to as the Hebrew Book of Enoch. I pray the Lord open my eyes to see, and my heart and mind to comprehend what I am to learn from 3 Enoch.
